About: Pet care is almost second nature for me. I’ve been entrusted with caring for pets since I was a child and started taking it more seriously in my adulthood. Having furry friends to hang out with is truly the highlight of any day/week for me. I work in the restaurant biz, but I’m able to set my schedule for the most part, so taking on pet sitting gigs is easy for me. While I live in an apartment, it is VERY pet friendly. It has a dog washing station on my floor, as well as multiple pet play areas around the property. Inside your fur babies can enjoy spacious areas and easily accessible food an water station. And for the babies that like to feel the wind in their hair, I’ve got a balcony that looks over a portion of River Walk! I initiate play time and adhere to any specific walking and eating schedule your baby may have.
“Angel was amazing! Flexible, communicative, and able to take care of all our needs! We felt very comfortable knowing that our sweet girl was taken care of and getting loved on.”
About: Hi there! I am an online college student, and can spend more time with your dog during the day while completing school work. I have experience with larger and small breeds. Please let me know your preferences, or if your pet has any special needs! I'd love to help during the week, and don't mind staying with your pet during the day! I am currently an online college student, and don't mind staying while completing school work. I've personally had a German Shepherd, and two Shih-tzu's! I am open to caring for your pet in any way that makes you and them the most comfortable.
“Justine was prompt with response, reliable and flexible. Animals did not have any trouble coming to her. Also very good with communicating with us while we were gone. We really appreciated her!!!”
About: You can expect compassionate and dedicated care for your furry family member. Having on and off experience with dogs and cats, volunteering at animal shelters, and my best friend being a vet... I am confidently someone you can trust. I am currently off for the summer and have a really flexible schedule to play with your pups and kits. I would honestly prefer to know what your fur family's schedule is-routine is good. I will follow the specific instructions you set. That would be important to me also if my fur babies were still with me. I am currently apartment living, so my care would consist of visits and walks.
About: I have been caring for animals both my personal animals and other peoples pets for a long time now. I have a dog of my own named Brutus that lives back home and he’s my whole world. Im accustomed to walking dogs, transporting dogs and making sure they are safe not only inside but out in the world too through my experiences with Brutus. I also participated in the raising and care of the family dogs growing up. I have personal experience with puppy care, wound care, giving medication and just loving and treating pets like they are a part of the family both with Brutus and the family dogs. I will be able to care for them both morning and evening as well as on lunch break to provide proper toileting to your animals as well as making sure they are properly fed and watered. I will be able to provide them with play time and snuggle time when I am off work and during the day on lunch break. I get an hour and half lunch break every week day. I will have to care for the pets in your home. I will not be able to care for them in my place of living.
About: I grew up around pets my as a child and have owned dogs for 32 years of all sizes and types. I have always been the go to person for everyone to care for their pets and i love it. I have no problem feeding, bathing, training or walking your pet as if it were my own. Our pets are our children as well and we need to care for them the best way we can. I am self employed and work my own schedule so I can care for your pet Friday -Tuesdays 9am-3pm. Different days or later hours can be arranged with at least a weeks notice. I have a fenced yard and can Kennel the dog if needed but for the most part I prefer for them to get a feel of my home and my rules.
“Lorelei was great with my cat. She sent many pictures and I could tell my shy pet was feeling comfortable! She was very accommodating with my schedule and I would love for her to watch my cat in the future!”
About: I've had over 20 years of pet care experience, ranging between several different dog breeds and sizes, cats, rodents, reptiles, and even some bird-sitting. I understand each pet is different in their own way, some needing certain medications or volumes of food and water, and other pets are easier to take care of, but their owners need someone last minute to help watch and take care of their beloved pets. I also know when it comes to more than one pet in the household, some pets can get rowdy with each other and may tend to hurt one other, so I'm used to cleaning up after and treating the occasional bites or scratches they inflict. Having to give medications, give special food, and even seeing blood or recent wounds on animals doesn't stop me from providing the care they need while their owners are away at work or vacation or whatever else life has thrown their way. I've been known to be a reliable petsitter by many friends and family members over the years, and I make sure to follow all needs and specifications for each pet, regardless of their age and their size. At the moment, I am available all day on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, and then on Mondays and Wednesdays I am attending a class from 9:30 AM to 12:30 AM, which anytime before or afterwards I can help walk or watch over pets. While I do not currently offer petsitting at my own home due to my roommates, I understand that every owner's household and every pet is different. I make sure that each of the doors and windows are closed and locked for the pet's safety, unless otherwise specified by the owners. If there are certain rooms or parts of the house off-limits to myself or the pets, I keep us away from those areas for the owner's privacy. And if the pets do tend to make a mess or I use any of the utilities of the home to help clean and take care of the pets, I make sure that everything is turned off and cleaned up afterwards so there are no messes for the owners when they return to their home and beloved pets.
“Highly recommend Timothy! I needed last minute help with my 2 pups (lab and great dane) and it was perfect! The boys were taken care of and happy! Great communication and on time for my appointment! I will be using him again for sure!!!!! 10 🌟!!!!!”
“Nakita was wonderful with my dog Hanzo during Christmas. She was kind, attentive, and treated him like her own. She made sure he was walked, fed on time, and well cared for. Her communication was great, and she was always punctual and reliable. I had total peace of mind and will definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommended!”

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.
