“Very professional very kind and went above a beyond for Athena. It’s nice to be able to work and know that my beautiful dog is taken care of halfway through the workday. It’s good for her and good for me. Mentally I’m able to focus on work with peace of mind. Her communication is fantastic and she is really good with Athena my German Shepherd.”
“Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!”
About: I have been watching fur babies for few years now by word of mouth and my coworkers from work . Mostly Dogs and cats I watch . The biggest dogs I have watched was Great Dane and the smallest dog I have watched was cava poo puppy. I personally have a mixed hound myself and his name is Buster. I currently work full time at Costco . But my shift starts are second shift so the latest I’m off on the week days is 8:45 and on the weekends I start earlier so I am off by six. When I watch the fur babies I am usually asked to stay in their home so I do what I normally do my day is an early day I wake up at 6 am . I feed and walk the animals before I head to work . On my days off if it’s okay with the owners I tend to take the animals to the park and go for a pup cup ! If it’s okay with the owners I ask can buy the animals the pup cup. I keep dog seat in my car and for larger dogs I keep a large seat cover with a seat belt holder. I prefer to go to the Clients home because I understand that animals do better when they are in their own environment. I tend to stick to the owners routine .
“Eleanor was just great! Our pup is a little nervous and cautious around strangers and Eleanor handled that very well. She also made time for a quick meet and greet before her drop in later in the day. And all with short notice. We'd love to have her stay again with Gracie.”
“Nicole was absolutely outstanding. She checked on, fed, and loved on our two kitties while we were gone for 2 weeks. She took such good care of them! She went above and beyond - took in our packages, took up our trash, and even cleaned up kitty litter that the cats tracked through the house. Her communication was amazing and she sent regular updates and pictures. We felt so comfortable having Nicole at our home while we were gone. We will 1000% have Nicole take care of our animals again!”
“Laura did a great job caring for our cat, Benny, on our first trip without him. She even learned how to feed our bearded dragon and kept an eye on her as well!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life from frenchies to shelties. I’ve worked in a dog store for over a year. Let me give you peace of mind while you’re away. On a weekly basis I have a flexible schedule that will allow for me drop by to check in and love on your babies. I work from home on most Wednesdays which allows me easy access to swing by. I will always make sure to give your pet lots of love and attention just like I would my own. Making sure to go the extra mile to let you know that I’m there to care in the ways you need!
About: What sets me apart from other sitters? I’ve mastered the art of negotiating with high-energy working breeds, outsmarting stubborn puppies, and serving as a certified head-scratcher for gentle seniors who just want to nap in peace. With plenty of foster and rescue experience under my belt, I speak fluent dog body language, respect the sacred mid-afternoon nap, and strictly enforce the "Cheese Tax" (within dietary guidelines, of course). Whether your pup needs strict medication routines, structured outlets for their relentless zoomies, or just a professional belly-rub technician while you’re away, I guarantee they’ll be living their absolute best life—and sending you endless photo updates to prove it! As a teacher, my days run on a structured, predictable routine that pets thrive on! Before school, your pup gets an early morning walk and breakfast; after the last bell rings, my full attention is theirs for afternoon adventures, play, and cozy evening snuggles. Being organized, patient, and used to managing full classrooms means your pet will get seamless, attentive care, clear boundaries, and a reliable schedule every single day. Whether in my home or yours, your pet gets the royal treatment—and a temporary promotion to favorite family member! In my home, they’ll enjoy structured play, designated couch-snagging spots, and endless affection. In your home, I keep their exact routine intact, following feeding schedules to the letter, sticking to their favorite walking paths, and making sure the house stays neat. Either way, expect strict safety, zero missed meals, and enough goofy photo updates to fill your camera roll while you're away!

“Anne did a wonderful job of caring for our boys. She sent lots of pics, stayed in regular contact with us, and was extremely dependable. During an extreme heat wave, she asked us, then altered her visits so that boys could take walk during cooler hours. I would highly recommend her and will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Owned dogs since I was young and I’ve sat for dogs for the last 8+ years. Experience with many different breeds, ages and temperaments. Just a girl with a soft spot for every dog! During weekends I am available all day, everyday and ensure to get multiple walks, potty breaks and playtime dates into the day. During the week I do work but am home every 4-6 hours to ensure potty breaks and exercise. I live in an apartment complex that offers multiple dog runs/parks. I also walk my own dog 3-5 times per day outside in the neighborhood. I am open to crating or freedom around the apartment based on what the dog needs.
About: Hello! I've owned dogs since I was 5 and love being a dog owner. Having 3 dogs now I understand one of the difficult parts of owning them is figuring out their care while you're unavailable. This is where I come in! I have years of experience dealing with other people's dogs through teaching obedience classes and house sitting. With my own dogs, I've trained 3 dogs to compete in agility competitions and enjoy spending time with them. I'm available to walk and watch your dog most week nights and some weekends. I'm also available to house sit on the weekends. I am able to brush and bathe your dog if needed as well! I look forward to helping you and your dog with your pet care needs! I'm available most week nights and most weekends for house sitting, walks, and dog sitting in my home. Your pet will have regular potty breaks throughout the day regardless if it's a weekday or weekend! I have a tall fenced in yard with plenty of shade for those hot summer days. Living in Crescent Hills area, there's tons of walking areas nearby so your pet will get the exercise it needs!
“I wish I could give Cassidy TEN stars! She was extremely attentive to every detail, sent video updates each time she visited, and the dogs LOVED her! I highly recommend her to anyone!”
About: I've owned and cared for dogs for more than 30 years and understand that pets are family. My family currently has a French Bulldog and I regularly care for friends' and family members' dogs and cats while they're away. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or having a companion nearby, I'll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I'd love the opportunity to spend time with your fur baby and help them feel comfortable and happy while you're away! I work from home and am able to create a flexible daily schedule, as needed. I go on walks multiple times a day and have 2 young kids who love animals, though do not have to join for drop in if noted! I am only providing drop ins / walking / pet sit at your home at this time unless noted ok for your pet to be around young kids.
“Ian did an amazing job watching Crew while we were away. Throughout every step of the process he was communicative and exceptionally prompt! He asked great questions about our dog's care before we left and reached out to us while watching him with updates and pictures. When we met in person, it was clear Ian and Crew got along great. Wonderful experience, we will use Ian again!”
About: I’ve had pets my entire life and have been caring for the animals of friends and family for many years. I have experience caring for puppies and older dogs. I understand how hard it is to leave the furry member of the family to someone else’s care so I am dedicated to treating them as my own. I am currently a PhD student so I have many flexible hours throughout the day. With access to a car, I can reliably drop in and walk animals several times a day if needed. I can come to the home to care for and walk pets as needed. I know how to walk dogs of many sizes safely and have even leash trained my cat. Pets have different care needs and I am well equipped to adapt to each pet.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richlawn
Nicole did a wonderful job watching my bunny! She followed all of the care instructions perfectly and took excellent care of my little one. It was clear that she was attentive, responsible, and genuinely caring. I felt comfortable knowing my bunny was in such good hands and would absolutely recommend Nicole to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter. I would happily book with her again!
Michael looked after our dog and cats while we were out of town. He provided the best updates on how they were doing each visit, and sent plenty of photos and videos. They were happy and well looked after the whole time we were away, and we were so glad to have such reliable help!
Mera is absolutely wonderful! She is always dependable, reliable, and so easy to communicate with. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her and are always excited to see her, which gives me such peace of mind when I’m away. She is caring, attentive, and treats them like they are her own. I never have to worry when they are in her care. I highly recommend Mera to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. We feel very lucky to have found her! Happy she is back on Rover!
Rhonda is an absolute gem! She followed our care instructions to a T, and every visit came with thoughtful updates and sweet little descriptions of what my baby girl was up to. The photos she sent were seriously amazing, I looked forward to every single one. It’s clear she genuinely loves the fur babies she cares for. I’d rebook with Rhonda in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!
Isabella was so great with our Kitty! She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures throughout our trip. She even made sure to provide detailed updates of Kitty's mood and behaviors during her visits. We will definitely be booking her again for future trips!

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.
