“Sara was AMAZING with our kitties during our trip to Europe!! She sent us pictures every day and kept us informed of all the daily activities. She also checked our mail, brought in packages, and took care of our house. Great communication and took amazing care of our babies. We will definitely be booking her again for our next trip - cannot recommend enough!!”
About: Hi! My name is Addie and I love animals! I have two dogs, three cats, and a horse of my own! I have worked at a vet clinic now for 3 years in my home town! When I am not in the clinic you can find me at WKU where I am studying animal science with a pre-vet concentration! I also love to spend my down time at the shelter in Bowling Green! Here I love on the cats and take shelter dogs for walks! I grew up on a farm with many animals and have grew to love all of them! During my job as a vet assistant I have learned how to work with all different demeanors and personalities when it comes to animals! I have experience with timid pups, outgoing animals, energetic animals, puppies, and so much more! I look forward to meeting your fur babies! In-between my classes at Western I love to spend time with animals! It provides me with a mental break from my schools and studies and gives me something to look forward to! When I am home during college breaks I spend most of my time working and carrying for animals at the clinic. However, when I have days off my favorite thing to do is to take my dogs for a hike. My house when I am not living in the dorm at school consist of two indoor cats, an indoor dog, an outdoor cat, and an outdoor dog! All of my animals have grew up together and get along with other pets just fine! I do however take them out on a leash to ensure they don’t get scared or run off!
“Madeline is the best! She’s extremely professional and caring with our pets. She shows up on time as scheduled or early, she willingly goes beyond (getting deliveries ect…) and our pets immediately trusted her. Highly recommend her!!!”
About: I’ve been working at an animal hospital for almost a year. I’ve worked with all kinds of dogs, cats, and other exotic animals. I’ve also worked with their different sizes, ages, diets, medications, etc. I’ve got a dog and 3 cats currently. I also frequently pet sit for family and friends, often overnight or over the weekend. I love to go on neighborhood walks with my dog to make sure she gets her daily exercise in. Also playing outside and enjoying the nice weather. I’m available to let dogs go on as many potty breaks as they need! For my cats, I love playing with them and seeing all the different toys to make sure they never get bored. I’ve also done my fair share of cleaning, no matter the mess, I’ll clean it up! I am a college student with at most 3 classes a day. I can do early mornings and then evenings/afternoons. During school breaks, I’ll be available all day. There may be the occasional days where I’m busy or out of town, but more likely than not I will be free and not busy. I will most likely ask the pet’s owners what they prefer on things like going outside, for walks, and other daily routines. I will constantly be checking in on the pet and making sure they’re doing okay. If anything were to happen, I would immediately contact the owner to come up with an action plan and see what they would want to do, depending on the situation. I would make sure that the home is safe and that there is nothing that the pet could get into that would hurt them.
About: I’ve had my own dogs for years, so lots of care experience. Capable of handling high energy dogs, as well as dogs who like to sleep their days away! I am a student at Western Kentucky University, but I have plenty of free time in between classes to play with and care your dog! I can do midday walks or drop ins almost any day. Your dog will receive lots of love and attention, as well as long walks or trips to the dog park. I never take walks without using a leash and I don’t allow dogs to eat table food. I can reply quickly for any needs. If you choose me to take care of your dog, your dog will have a wonderful time!
“Hope (Judell) is the sweetest! Very attentive to all of my furbabies! They loved her! Their feeding routine can be a little confusing but Hope handled it like a champ. Will definitely use her next time we need someone to take care of our animals. :)”
“Excellent! Vincent was wonderful took the time to come do a quick meet and greet! And went above and beyond on his check ins and gave me great updates! Thanks so much Vincent”
About: As a dog mom of two, I will ensure your fur baby gets the care and play it needs! Guaranteed a walk during every visit! I am available for pet care during early mornings and afternoons on weekdays. I also am available to provide pet care anytime on the weekends! I will care for your pet’s home as well as I would care for my own! I will keep your dog or cat safe and the home clean. I clean litter boxes and every visit for cat parents.
About: "I've spent 30+ years working with dogs professionally — as a groomer (I owned a 500+ client grooming business), a vet tech and kennel manager, and a dog trainer. I'm also the author of a published dog-training book. I share my home with two dogs and two cats of my own, so animals aren't just my work — they're my life." My schedule is flexible, and I keep my Rover calendar updated in real time. Drop-in visits and walks can usually be arranged around my week — just send a request and I'll confirm quickly. For overnight sitting, I take on a limited number of bookings so each dog gets my full attention. I respond to all requests the same day. Your dog's safety comes first, always. In your home, I follow your routines exactly — locked doors, leashes on walks, and no off-leash time unless you've specifically okayed a secure area. I'm trained to read dog body language and spot stress early, and with 30+ years of professional experience, I stay calm in emergencies. You'll get updates and photos with every visit.
About: I’ve been taking care of pets for over 6 years and you can count on me to be reliable and caring. I’m great with all kinds of animals and always make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I am in graduate school but only have class for 3 hours in the morning and clinic 2 day a week so I have a very open and flexible schedule. I will be willing to take dogs on walks and play with all animals and make sure they are happy and fed. I love all animals and would be willing to follow daily activities you partake in with your pets!
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for a variety of pets and absolutely love animals! I have pet-sat for friends, family, neighbors, and others in my community, caring for different types, sizes, and personalities of pets. I’m comfortable providing feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, and giving pets the attention and care they need while their owners are away. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved! I am a nursing school student. I have classes most days, but I do have time in between, before, and after, to take care of pets! I am more than happy to make time and will do my best to work with your schedules! I will take care of your pets like they are my own. I am comfortable keeping your pets in their routines and following any rules/guidelines you may have. I have no issues with pets being in my car so I can transport them if needed.
“She took such good care of my baby boy. Marshall is a very nervous and timid dog, so I knew he would probably be very scared when she came in to let him out, but she took the time to just sit with him and see that he was comfortable before taking him outside. Will definitely use her again!”
“Esther has been doing drop-in visits for our Bichon since early 2024. She is so dependable, knowledgeable and kind to our Lucy, and I cannot sing her praises enough. We willl be moving but if we ever are back in the area and need a pet sitter, Esther will be the first person I call. Thankful for all her help.”

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.
