“Repeat book with Samantha! My pups love her. She really goes above and beyond every visit to ensure the pups get some quality attention and exercise. I love that she has great communication!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with special diets and can follow basic medical instructions with care. I always take the time to connect with each dog based on their unique personality. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have all the time in the world to care for and play with your pet! I’m available 7 days a week and would love to spend quality time with your furry friend. I also have a fenced yard and my sweet Schnauzer can keep your pup company—if you’re comfortable with that. Your pet’s safety is my top priority
“Alex is amazing with my coco! She provides updates/pictures with every walk & drop in visit. I highly recommend her pet services & I’m so happy I found a dog sitter that loves coco like her own! ❤️”
“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 treat every pet like my own, paying attention to their needs, routines, and comfort. I’m gentle, reliable, and great with shy or anxious animals. I’m a college student. My days are very flexible. I am available everyday. I truly love animals and I’m looking to care for animals, it is my passion. I follow each pet’s routine, give fresh food and water, clean litter, offer playtime, and provide lots of attention. I keep their environment calm, safe, and comfortable.
“Marcela is an amazing pet sitter. She was beyond thorough following all the instructions we provided for our four cats. She was always on time and paid close attention to detail. Truly a pleasure to work with and we will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a cat sitter. I’m certain she is great with all pets but if you have cats, she should be your go to :)”
“Alexis was amazing with our cats! We were nervous leaving them at home for a week, but quickly felt comfortable with Alexis taking care of them. She sent a ton of pictures and the cats seemed to love her! Will definitely come back to her in the future!”
About: I can take good care of your best friend, with a team of helpers of 3 lovely teenagers!! I do my best to make your friend fell like at home while you are away. Serious pet care with 12 years of experience taking care of someone else 4 legged family member but a full life experience with pets. I am crate free pet care, unless ask by pet parent. Good rates!! Languages: ENGLISH ESPAÑOL I am always home since I work from home and with a lot of free time to give to your pet and to give the attention that they need. I have a big fenced yard and also I walk them up to three times a day. A crate free pet care and lots of love to give.
“She did so great! My babies were well taken care of and felt very safe with her I'm my home. She even came (either during or after a wedding) to take care of my pups . That's commitment ! Thank you ???”
About: I have always owned animals growing up and now I take care of animals for a living. I would love to continue my passion when I’m not at work. I have experience with many different species including reptiles, birds, fish, and of course, dogs and cats. I know the importance of finding a good pet sitter as I own pets myself. Allow me the opportunity to care for yours as if they were mine. I have fairly normal work hours from 8am to 4:30pm. So this gives me plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. Since my schedule is pretty consistent with my days off being during the week, I am able to do multiple walks and drop ins on my days off. I utilize the space provided. So if my client has a backyard and needs me to take their pet out, I can do so. Otherwise, I’ll take the pet out for a walk.
“Nathalie was amazing! This is our first time using Rover & having a non relative care for our fur babies. She made this a great experience from the booking to the meet & greet to the daily reports. Everything went smoothly & we had the peace of mind knowing our babies were being well cared for during our absence. I will definitely rebook with her in the near future & I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”

About: I am a pet owner and animal lover. I have experience caring for cats, dogs, birds, fish, and rodents. I have worked with many animals and am comfortable grooming, walking, feeding, playing with and caring for your pets. What sets me apart from other sitters is that I love all types of animals and I wouldn’t mind looking after. What sets me apart other walkers I make sure that i take the dog for a walk atlease for 20min I make sure I have water for them and extra toys so I could play with them so they could feel entertained because sometime keeping your pets home for too long gets them bored and frustrated I make a routine and I stick and follow through .

“Yesenia was perfect with my little guy, hanging out 2 hours with him. She was good at giving him space and did not rush any interaction. We are sad that we moved in a different area, otherwise she would be our go-to sitter.”
About: Hi! I’m Angie, a lifelong animal lover who grew up on a farm up north surrounded by animals of all shapes and sizes dogs, horses, pigs, chickens, rabbits, cows, and even deer! 🐴🐶🐰🐷 Caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember, and growing up around so many different animals taught me patience, responsibility, and how every animal has their own personality and needs. Over the years, I’ve continued caring for dogs and other pets through house sitting and pet sitting for family, friends, and personal referrals. I recently decided to take that experience beyond my personal circle and join Rover! I’m 20 years old and work a flexible part-time schedule, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pets with attention, playtime, walks, affection, and care. I’m comfortable with energetic pets, senior animals, pets who need medication, and animals with specific routines or special instructions. I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets while you’re away, so I’ll always treat them with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. ❤️ For pets staying in my home, they’ll enjoy a loving, cage-free environment unless you prefer otherwise. I have a fenced backyard, live in a gated community, and have cameras for additional security. I also use an AirTag during walks for an extra layer of safety and will send consistent pictures and updates so you can see how your baby is doing throughout their stay! 🐾 I’m also fortunate to have a pet loving household. If I need to step away for work or an errand, my dad Jonathan and my boyfriend Alex are home and help make sure the pets in our care continue to have company, attention, and supervision. Drop-Off & Pick-Up 🐾 To make arrivals and departures as smooth as possible, I ask that drop-off and pick-up times are confirmed with me in advance. 🏡 Boarding: Drop-off and pick-up are available between 8:00 AM – 8:00 PM. ☀️ Doggy Day Care: Drop-off begins at 8:00 AM, with pick-up by 5:00 PM. I understand that travel plans and schedules can change, so I’m always happy to accommodate different times when possible just communicate with me ahead of time! 🤍 Please keep in mind that boarding stays extending significantly beyond a 24-hour period may include Rover’s extended care rate. For boarding, I do ask that pets staying in my home are up to date on their vaccinations for everyone’s safety. Please bring their food and let me know about any allergies, medications, special instructions, routines, or preferences beforehand so I can keep their stay as close to home as possible. Whether you need boarding, drop-in visits, or someone dependable to care for your pets while you travel, my goal is simple: to make your pets feel safe, happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m excited to meet you and your pets and hopefully become someone you can trust and count on whenever you need a helping hand! 🐾❤️ I work part time at a hair salon, and outside of work I love spending my time with my own pup! 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my everyday routine, from walks and playtime to plenty of cuddles and attention. When I’m at work, my dad Jonathan is usually home, and my boyfriend, Alex is also around often so there’s never a shortage of extra love and cuddles! 🤍 I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine to help them feel as comfortable and at home as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority! I live in a gated community with a fenced backyard and cameras for added security. Pets in my care get plenty of supervised outdoor time, walks, playtime, cuddles, and attention. I always follow each pet parent’s routine and instructions and make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. 🐾🤍

Samantha took really good care of my little one over the weekend, and feel really comfortable and I knew I will relax cause she did a great job with my dog and keep me post all the time and make sure to do her care with love. thanks Samantha to take the time and extra to make sure that they where comfortable and care??
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.
