About: I've been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities. In addition to dogs and cats, I've cared for puppies, kittens, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, turtles, lizards, monkeys, and other exotic and domestic animals. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, administer basic care, and provide companionship for their pets while they're away. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, enrichment activities, cuddles, or simply sticking to their normal routine, I'll provide attentive and reliable care. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I work nearby Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM and am home most weekends. Depending on your pet's needs and temperament, I may be able to bring well-socialized dogs with me to work, allowing for additional companionship, supervision, potty breaks, and walks throughout the day. I can also return home during lunch breaks when needed for feedings, medication administration, exercise, or extra attention. My goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine and provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching experience while you're away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. My home is clean, air-conditioned, and located in a quiet townhouse community with limited traffic, a single entrance and exit, and only a few residential buildings. We have a fenced patio, a dedicated pet walking area nearby, and a large sliding glass door that provides natural light and outdoor views while allowing pets to remain comfortably indoors. Unless otherwise requested by the owner, pets will be kept safely indoors at all times. Outdoor walks, potty breaks, playtime, and patio access will always be provided according to your preferences and your pet's individual needs. I understand that every pet has different routines, rules, and comfort levels, and I am committed to following your care instructions exactly as requested. For added security, my home has keypad entry access, and pets are never given unsupervised access to bedrooms, helping maintain a safe and controlled environment. Fresh filtered water is always available if preferred. I share my home with my 11-year-old son, who has been raised around animals and understands the importance of treating every pet with patience, kindness, and respect. We both genuinely love animals and work together to provide a calm, caring, and welcoming environment where pets feel like part of the family.
“Kathryn took such great care of Spike while we were on our extended trip. She was extremely professional, gave us daily updates, and followed our care instructions perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need a pet sitter.”
About: I am a lifelong dog owner with hands-on experience in both senior dog care and high-energy puppies. I offer a lifetime of personal pet ownership combined with years of providing reliable cat care and housesitting services for neighbors and family. I am patient with all animals and ready to give your pet the dedicated attention they deserve. Being a university student as long as I don't have classes I am available. I have a highly flexible schedule and am able to structure my study hours around your pet's needs, providing consistent supervision and companionship. I am mostly free in the afternoon on weekdays and any time on weekends. I tailor every visit to your pet's specific routine and comfort levels. Safety is always at the top of my mind, so I am vigilant about door security whenever entering a home. Once inside, my time is all theirs. For high-energy pets, I can spend my time burning off their energy in the yard or a safe space inside. For older pets, I provide calm companionship and a comforting presence. I am meticulous about following instructions regarding feeding, refreshing water, locking up, and keeping your home secure.

About: Hey parents, my name is Lin. What sets me apart is the genuine love and personal experience I bring to caring for dogs. I’ve raised my two chihuahuas since they were puppies—they’re truly family to me—so I understand how important it is to find someone who treats your pets like their own. I’ve created the most pet-friendly home environment, with a large fenced backyard that has grassy areas to run around, doggie pools to cool off in, and plenty of space to play and explore. Inside, the rooms are air-conditioned and cozy, so your pup will always be comfortable. I encourage socializing and active playtime, and I keep crate time to a minimum—usually zero—unless it’s part of your dog’s routine. I also have experience with both extrovert and introvert pets as well as puppies and senior dogs, so whether your pup is full of energy or needs a slower pace, they’ll be in safe, loving hands. Me and my fiancé are home full-time, so your pup will always have someone around giving them love and attention. I run my own online business, and she’s a full-time nursing student taking classes from home, which means we’re both here 24/7 to supervise, play, and care for the dogs throughout the day. Whether it’s potty breaks, cuddle sessions, or keeping up with their routine, we’ve got it covered. Your dog will never feel alone or ignored—they’ll be part of the family while they’re with us. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. We’ve created a calm, welcoming, and secure environment where every pup can feel right at home and keeping you updated with pictures and videos throughout the day of their activities. Our large backyard is fully fenced for safe outdoor play, and we’re always supervising to make sure everyone is happy and safe—no dog is ever left unattended. Inside, the space is clean, cozy, air-conditioned, and monitored with cameras so we can always keep an eye on everything. We take the responsibility of caring for your pet seriously and treat every dog like they’re part of our own family. You can trust that your pup will be safe, loved, and well cared for every step of the way.

Mariana took care of our Maltese while we were away and she was outstanding. She dropped in to visit 3 times a day and she was on time, amazing with Brady --taking him out for walks, taking him out back and gave him so much love--and sent lots of pictures and videos. She follows instructions perfectly. We wish we can have her come visit Brady every day! Cant wait to see you again Brady sends you lots of hugs!!!!!!
Steph was absolutely amazing with my dog, Mia! She cared for her for six days, and it truly felt like I was leaving her with family. She even sent the cutest pictures, and it was so comforting seeing how happy Mia was with her. My dog is not a people person but she loves Stephanie, that says a lot! I never worry, I know my baby is in good hands. Mia needed two different medications, and Steph gave them exactly as instructed with such care and kindness. She went above and beyond my expectations, even checking back in on Mia. She’s incredibly knowledgeable, caring, and compassionate. She gives me helpful advice and treats Mia as if she were her own. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your fur baby, I wholeheartedly recommend Steph. She’s simply the best!
Thomas was excellent with our little Pug who is a cute darling dog, we went overseas to visit family and had to leave Bonny at home, but we were so pleased with Thomas extremely professional and punctual and very caring with our pup. We shall continue to use Thomas for care of our beloved pup and we recommend him highly.

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.
