About: I’ve been caring for pets for years, starting with neighbors and family friends who trusted me with their cats and dogs. I grew up in a home with both cats and dogs, so I’m comfortable with all personalities and energy levels. I also have a Golden Retriever of my own that I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old, giving me plenty of hands-on experience with training, routines, and puppy needs. Whether your pet is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Pet care fits into my routine pretty naturally. I already spend a lot of time taking care of my own Golden Retriever puppy, feeding him, getting him outside, training, and keeping him entertained, so adding another pet into the mix doesn’t feel like a stretch. I do work full-time, but I’m home most evenings, nights, and weekends, which gives me plenty of time to check in on pets, go for walks, or just hang out with them. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, so working pet care into my schedule never feels like an inconvenience. It’s something I look forward to! When I’m caring for pets in my home, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and included in our normal routine. I have a friendly male Golden Retriever puppy who loves having a buddy around, but I always do slow and careful introductions to make sure everyone feels relaxed. Pets get plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and a cozy place to rest. I follow whatever routines they’re used to so they feel at home. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of the space and try to keep things exactly how your pet is accustomed to. I stick to your feeding schedule, walk routines, and any house rules you prefer. I give lots of updates and photos so you know your pet is happy. My goal is always the same in any home: make sure your pets feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away.
“Quinn was kind, communicative, and reliable with Tetra’s check-ins. Tetra requires oral heart medication, and unfortunately when we returned home, I found two pills that she had spit out. Tetra can be tricky with medication, but confirming that she swallowed each pill is especially important for her care. I shared this feedback with Quinn afterward, and she was very receptive and appreciative that I let her know.”
About: I’ve been around and taken care of dogs of every kind my entire life basically. Neighbors, friends and family have relied on me since I was a little girl to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I currently dog sit full time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding all seven days of the week at anytime of need! I have a spacious yard and two friendly female dogs(both spayed) to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate your dog if needed.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.

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 use the 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.
