“Charlayne did a fantastic job for us, and my Mother-in-law, while we were out of town. She made friends with our (VERY ANTISOCIAL) cats - they normally run and hide from strangers - gave them lovies, and took great care them when we weren't able to. She sent pictures everyday and kept in touch, and followed the directions we left to a "T". We'll definitely be using her for all of our out of town trips. Thank you so very much for everything.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all personalities and energy levels. I’ve house sat and cared for dogs in their own homes, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I’m very active with my own dog and go to the dog park daily, so I’m confident handling playful, energetic dogs as well as more relaxed ones. I prioritize safety, consistency, and giving every pet the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am able to give your pets lots of time and attention. I do have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9am to 2pm, but I’m available before and after, as well as all day on other days. I’m usually home, so your pet won’t be left alone for long periods. I make sure they get regular walks, playtime, and plenty of attention, including trips to the dog park for exercise and socialization. I live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex with a large dog park available for safe play and exercise. I take pets out for regular potty breaks every 2 to 4 hours and make sure they stay on a consistent routine. I provide a clean, safe, and calm environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I always prioritize their safety, whether that means supervising playtime, following feeding schedules, or crating if requested by the owner.
“Alexia went above and beyond to not just make sure my two kitties were taken care of, but also managed to keep them comfortable and happy while we were out of town for a week! She cleaned the litter box out and even tidied up and vacuumed when needed. The cats love her and we will definitely have her back”
About: Love taking care of dogs. I like walking with dogs at the park and playing with them. Also do not mind dropping in to visit them. Also love playing with cats Current working in the afternoon so I have free time during the morning from 6:30 am-12 pm during Mon through Friday. Also sometimes on the weekend as well I am available times vary. I have a fenced yard and can play with your dog outside my yard as long as I can have your dog in a leash if needed. I live near a park and can easily walk your dog if needed here at home.I have a French bulldog as well that can play with your dog or I can leave her in her crate if your dog is not dog friendly.
“Erica did a fantastic job taking care of my furball! She communicated clearly and was very polite, Maggie must’ve liked her as well because she came out to visit each time Erica came by. I will definitely reach out to Erica in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of every breed and size since I was young. I have always had dogs growing up and I still have my childhood dog of 10 years+. I am able to walk, feed, and bathe the pets if needed. I can also help with tricks and crate training as well! I am currently going back to school for my doctorate in occupational therapy and it is a hybrid program, I want the flexibility of having my own schedule and arranging it around my school schedule. My pets have a schedule and understand their schedule, so if your pup has that, I will be happy to help! I also have three types of breeds within my home, so I understand the importance of boundaries, separate feedings, crating, and ensuring each dog is taken care of on their individual needs.
About: I’ve loved animals literally forever and I think they deserve good care!! I’ve been taking care of them since I was 14 (I’m 23) so quite a while now. I consider this line of work to be mutually beneficial:) I’m very flexible with making sure I take walks and such, so I just add them in. I wake up early and stick to a routine so I have no problems accommodating. I go to your home so your pet is more comfortable! I do walks, clean up, play with them (if they want to, haha), brush, and even bathe if they need it.
About: I love each animal as if they were my own. I have experience in taking care of cats and dogs of all ages. I have patience, compassion and a lot of love to give to animals. I am flexible with anything. I have experience in dog walking, house sitting for families with fur babies and having dogs stay at my home when their owners are away. I have a fenced yard and two dogs who live at home currently with me, a 12 year old Cocker Spaniel and a 4 year old Catahoula Australian shepherd mix.
“Adelaide did an amazing job with even our most anxious pup. She took her time and gave them all the time they needed to run and have social interaction. She kept us updated and shared pictures and videos to help ease our worries about leaving the pups behind. We will be using her again!”
About: Hello, I have loved animals since the day i knew how to see.

I provide pet care exclusively in my clients’ homes to ensure your pets feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed in their familiar surroundings. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members, and I take that responsibility very seriously. I will always keep a close eye on your pets, make sure their needs are met, and give them plenty of love, attention, and care. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Their safety, happiness, and comfort will always be my top priorities!
“Amber is the best and cares for my girl so well. Julia is an anxious pup who loves people and amber makes sure to spend lots of time and cuddles with her. She is very personable and respectful of your home! If you need a dog sitter, I recommend!”
About: I grew up on 27 acres and we always had dogs. I have helped taken care of many breeds of dogs and I have a lot of experience potty training them. I will give them the love and care like they are my own. I work a PT job on Sunday and Monday, but I am available for the rest of the week for whatever needs that your fur baby requires. I have a fenced in yard in the back. I do have a crate available if needed. My dogs love other dogs and cats. I live on a dead end street and I walk my dogs down stacks road where there is not a lot of heavy traffic. Safety is of importance when it comes to all fur babies! 🐾🐾🐾
“Charlene is terrific! So patient and kind with my two crazy dogs. Couldn’t ask for a better, more loving person to check in on them. She has been more than willing to spend time with my large dog who has terrible anxiety and isn’t great with strangers but he took to her immediately which is how I knew I made the right choice when choosing her as a sitter. So thankful we found her!”
About: I have taken care of pets since I was 14 years old. I’ve always had a passion for animals. I have two dogs my self (a mini schnauzer and a mini dachshund) plus a cat that we adopted. I have experience taking care of cats and dogs with anxiety issues. I’m currently a stay at home mom looking to make an extra income and helping families with their fur babies. It would be the perfect fit for me because I love animals! I have 2 friendly dogs that can make companion to your fur baby if they stay in my home. Also if I take care of your babies in your home I am very attentive to them since I love what I do which is taking care of fur pets!
“Communicated everything that needed communicated, was prompt and gave updates, kept my pup and house safe and secure, top notch care, would recommend to any pet ow era needing some help!”
About: I have had dogs my entire life, as a four years ago I got an orange cat and could not choose between either for the life of me. I cannot wait to meet and take care of your fur babies :) I am currently in nursing school only taking up 2 to 3 days a week. I am now available for boarding at my home so feel free to look into that as well!! I make sure that the bowls are always full, or their food has been given on time along with medication if needed. I also make sure they are getting as much outside time as they can get.

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.
