“Faith is the best pet sitter! I needed someone to provide drop-in care for my four cats for three weeks while I was out of state. Whoever I hired had to be completely trustworthy and reliable. Faith not only scores FIVE STARS for trustworthiness and reliability, she genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them! She is very conscientious and hard working and approaches challenges with intelligence and a good sense of humor. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to hire her when I need a pet sitter again. Faith did an excellent job!”

“Glenda took phenomenal care of our Maya. She stopped by before the first visit just to get to know Maya a bit… we came home a few days later to a happy, calm and relaxed Belgian Malinois. This is a big deal! She’s a natural dog whisperer, trustworthy and prompt. Thank you, Glenda!”
About: Growing up, I had two dogs starting at age 10, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding canine behavior and needs. I learned how to train them, manage their energy levels, and ensure they were well-socialized. Since moving out on my own at 18, I've continued my passion for pet care by having one dog and one cat. This experience has allowed me to develop skills in caring for multiple types of pets, including feeding, grooming, and providing companionship. Safety is my top priority when caring for pets. I always ensure that my home is a secure environment, free from hazards, and I’m vigilant during walks to keep them safe from traffic and other dangers. I’m comfortable with daily walks, playtime, and administering any necessary medications while keeping a close eye on their well-being. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stimulating environment for your pets, ensuring they feel at home while you’re away. I currently work a full time job. However Im still available every weekend , weekday and holidays for walks , check ins and more ! I always ensure that my home is secure, checking for any potential hazards like open windows, toxic plants, or small objects they could swallow. I keep cleaning supplies and other harmful substances out of reach. When it comes to playtime, I use safe toys and supervise their play to prevent any accidents. I also make sure to provide a safe space for them to retreat to, especially if they feel stressed or overwhelmed. During walks or outdoor time, I’m very cautious about their surroundings, ensuring they are kept on a leash if necessary, and I monitor them closely at all times. I’m experienced in administering medications and keeping track of their health, ensuring they stay safe and comfortable. My goal is to provide a loving and secure environment for your pet, making sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away.
About: My passion for animals started when I was young. I begged for a puppy at the age ten until I got one. My first pet was a teacup chihuahua, named Teacup, and I absolutely adored her. Twelve years later, I owned a Husky mix, named Smokey. Which provided me with experience handling small and large dogs. I also have experience working at Saint Louis Zoo is Missouri. It started off as an internship, then the next year I worked as a part-time zoo keeper for a year. I also have experience volunteering at SPCA through highschool. For colloge I attended Harris-Stowe State University, and majored in Biology. I completed 100 credits. If your interested in my services please feel free to contact me; I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur baby My availability is currently open. I do not have any other duties throughout the day, which means I can give your pet my full attention! Your pet will never be left alone and unsupervised. I treat the pets as if I have a friend over. They will never get bored with me because I am super playful. If they’re not the playful type, then I love cuddles as well. I also love walking and going for a jog, so we would spend a lot of time outside, if the pet wants. I understand all pets have different behaviors and personalities, so I make sure I know about the dog before the booking.
About: I’ve spent more than 20 years caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m comfortable caring for senior and special-needs pets, administering oral and injected medications, and keeping up with high-energy dogs who need plenty of exercise and play. I follow each pet’s normal routine closely and treat them like I would my own, with lots of attention, affection, and regular photo updates while you’re away. I currently work part time in customer service, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to pet sitting. I’m happy to spend time playing, giving affection, keeping pets company, maintaining their normal routines, and making sure they receive plenty of attention while their family is away. For me, pet sitting is much more than simply stopping by to feed an animal. I genuinely enjoy building a relationship with the pets I care for and making sure they feel happy, loved, and comfortable until their family comes home. I’ve always had a special connection with animals and truly enjoy being around them. I love getting to know each pet’s personality, routine, quirks, and favorite things so I can make their time with me feel as comfortable and familiar as possible. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, including seniors. My own Chihuahua lived to be 22 years old, so I understand firsthand how much patience, consistency, and extra attention older animals can need. That experience gave me an even deeper appreciation for the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m also very mindful of safety and cleanliness in both my everyday life and in clients’ homes. I carefully follow care instructions, keep an eye on changes in behavior or needs, and make sure pets are comfortable and their environment is clean and secure.
“Haylee was great and very understanding of my situation with my dog who can be wary of new people. She took the time to get to know my dog and went at her pace. Haylee was also very receptive to my instructions for interacting with my dog (for everyone's comfort and safety!) and her routines. Next time we need a sitter, I will definitely get in touch with Haylee.”

About: I’ve taken care of my dog for 13 years which helped me gain experience. My neighbors have also allowed me to babysit, walk, and feed their pets. I am currently playing for a local soccer team that allows me to have a flexible schedule. I am free most hours during the week and on the weekends. When visiting a pet at a clients home I make sure to let the dog get used to me first beforehand. If the yard is fenced, I would love to play outside with them.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
