“Claudia has been absolutely amazing with my puppy, Milo! She goes above and beyond every single time she cares for him. She doesn’t just make sure his basic needs are met—she truly loves on him as if he were her own. Claudia pays close attention to every detail, follows all of my instructions, and always makes me feel at ease knowing Milo is in such caring hands. The best part is seeing how excited Milo gets every time he sees her. That alone tells me how much he trusts and loves her. Thank you, Claudia, for taking such wonderful care of my sweet boy. Your kindness, dedication, and genuine love for animals mean more than you know. I highly recommend you to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable dog sitter!”

About: I have had a variety of animals in my life and currently have 2 cats and a puppy! Animals are so special and I want to fill my free time taking care of them. I have helped out neighborhood friends before by both cat and dog sitting:) I do work full time so I am mainly available on the weekends but can be flexible! On weekends I have availability all day long. My cats and pup at home have everything and more. I keep my environment both cat and dog friendly! I always make sure that the pets are happiest they could be.

About: Hi! My name is Isabel and I truly love animals. I have several years of experience caring for pets for friends and family and I treat every dog like part of my own family. I provide a safe, calm and loving environment where your pet will feel comfortable and cared for. I enjoy walking, playing and giving dogs the attention they deserve. I always send photos and updates so you can feel relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness and comfort are always my priority. During the week I am available in the mornings and early afternoons (8 AM – 4:30 PM). I attend classes from 5:30 PM to 8:15 PM, but I am available again in the evenings after that if needed. On weekends I have more flexibility and can work mornings or afternoons. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. When I stay in a pet owner’s home, I follow their routines and instructions carefully to keep their pets relaxed and happy. I treat every pet with patience, love, and respect, just like they were my own.

About: Hi! I’m Lindsey, and I’ve grown up around pets my whole life. Being around animals has always felt natural to me, and I love getting to know each pet’s personality. I’ve also volunteered walking dogs in the past, which gave me experience with a wide range of dogs, from small breeds to large dogs, and from playful puppies to slower-paced senior pups. I’m comfortable handling pets with different temperaments and energy levels, whether that’s taking a dog out for a walk, stopping by for a visit, or spending some time giving a cat attention and care. I also have experience giving medication. My own dog had diabetes, and I gave him daily insulin shots, so I understand how important it is to follow instructions carefully and make sure pets feel calm and safe during those moments. I’m reliable, attentive, and a big animal lover. I truly enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats and would treat your pet like my own. I’m always happy to adjust to whatever helps your pet feel comfortable, whether that’s sticking closely to their routine, giving them playtime and enrichment, or just keeping them company. Before caring for your pet, I like to learn about their routine, personality, and anything that helps them feel at ease. Every pet is different, and I want to make sure they have the best experience possible. I work full time during the week, but I love spending my free time caring for pets! I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for both dogs and cats. On weekdays, my availability is usually early mornings (around 5:30–7:30 AM) and evenings (about 5:30–10 PM). On weekends, I’m more flexible and typically have greater availability for visits, walks, and house sitting. If you’re unsure whether your timing fits, feel free to reach out. I’m always happy to see if we can make something work! I take safety and trust seriously when caring for pets. I always pay close attention to a pet’s behavior and environment to make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely and accommodate any special instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, or preferred walking routes. I also make sure to keep owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I’ve grown up around different breeds of dogs and cats. I truly have a love for animals which make the best person to babysit your babies. I specialize in socializing young pups to just comforting pups with separation anxiety. Gone all day and need someone to check on your baby? I’m there! Your baby needs a walk while you’re at work? You can count on me! With working part time, this gives me more flexibility to help you when needed! Mornings, afternoons, and weekends I can help! Walks, quick visits, boarding, etc. I have a home with plenty of space and a huge fenced in back yard! I also live near dog parks if your baby needs to go and stretch its legs!

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. My family had a farm where we raised pigs and cows, and growing up my grandma had 21 indoor and outdoor cats. I’ve also grown up with dogs, cats, bunnies, and other animals throughout my life. My family currently has both a pug and a Great Dane, so I’m very comfortable around dogs of all sizes. I currently have two cats of my own, and one has epilepsy, so I’m also comfortable giving medication and following specific care routines. I understand how important consistency and attention can be when a pet has additional needs. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I’ll treat every pet I care for like one of my own. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, medication, and plenty of attention. I like to meet pets beforehand whenever possible so they can get comfortable with me and I can learn their routine, personality, and needs. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m also comfortable giving medication and caring for pets with special needs.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Progress Village

Frequently asked questions about Rover

Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.

You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.

Before booking, confirm:

  • the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
  • the care instructions the sitter should follow;
  • which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
  • how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.

Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.

If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.

The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.

Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.

If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
