“Bonnie was so sweet to our baby girl! She was very consistent and made sure we had plenty of photos and videos plus updates on her behavior. She definitely took a lot of the worry out of leaving our girl at home for a week!! I highly recommend 😀”
About: Hi! I’m a devoted dog mom to four amazing dogs—one who has been with me for 14 years and three proud foster “wins.” Caring for them has given me hands-on experience with puppies, senior dogs, medication management, fearful or anxious pups, high-energy players, and sweet couch-loving companions. I understand that every dog is unique, and I take the time to meet them where they are—whether that means a calm, reassuring walk, energetic playtime, or extra patience and gentle care. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions and provide regular updates and photos for peace of mind. I am shifting to part-time work and will be flexible to accommodate your pet’s needs. I’m an early riser, ideal for morning walks, feedings, and medications. I offer walks, drop-ins, and longer visits, and I’m experienced with senior dogs, anxious pups, and energetic walkers. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including walks, feedings, medications, playtime, and rest. I take a calm, patient approach and adjust my care for older pets, dogs who need extra reassurance, and dogs who enjoy longer or more active walks. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe and well cared for.
“Crista was wonderful. We had no worries about our three cats because she was extremely communicative, kind, and sent tons of pictures. Would absolutely use her again.”
“Sarah has been absolutely amazing to work with!! She is very responsive, punctual, and keeps me updated with each check-in visit. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my furry children are in such great hands. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing dependable and caring pet care!”
“Skylar has watched our cats multiple times and has always been very reliable, which I appreciate. She takes great care of the cats which makes me feel much better about leaving our kitties for vacations.”
“Lauren is extremely communicative, flexible, reliable, and kind—I highly recommend her for any pet care services! I will continue booking services with her for as long as she is available. Thank you for everything Lauren!”
“Karie has been great this past week and I know she will continue that going forward. Since losing my wife last month, my life has been in shambles. I needed to go back to work and could not leave Maggie in the house all day, it wouldn’t be fair to her. And then I found Karie, she is doing a fantastic job making sure that my girl gets to go outside and take care of business and get some much needed exercise. I will continue to have Karie drop in to take care of my girls as long as she is available and I need the help. Hopefully Lucy will begin to come out of hiding and show herself more to Karie.”
“Terezie took such good care of our animals and provided updates and photos for every check in. Making our trip worry free :) We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I cared for my staffy mix, Millie, for nine wonderful years, learning her needs, moods, and quirks along the way. That experience taught me patience, attentiveness, and how to keep dogs happy, comfortable, and loved — care I'm ready to bring to your dog. I am currently between jobs, but normally work from home. I am quite flexible in when I can provide pet care. Mornings, midday, or night care would be no issue. I have two cats myself, and keep a tidy home for them. I have a large, unfenced backyard, but has natural barriers that keep things very private.
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
“Pam did a great job with my two feline babies. She kept their food and litter areas clean, played a little with them, and gave me daily updates and photos. I would highly recommend her!”
“Margo was quick to respond and very professional. She met with me and my pups to go through their routine within an hour of responding to my request. She did very well with the pups, too. 🙂”
About: I’ve worked with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade, including managing structured environments where consistency and temperament mattered. That experience shapes how I approach in-home care today: calm, observant, and steady. I adapt well to each home’s environment. Every household has its own rhythm, and I focus on maintaining that rhythm rather than disrupting it. I respect property, keep to designated shared spaces, and treat each home responsibly while I’m there. With animals, I prioritize patience and regulation. Dogs often mirror calm, consistent energy, and I remain relaxed and steady in my interactions. Whether maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing expectations, or adjusting to unexpected wake-ups, I approach care with composure. I value clear expectations so I can maintain healthy boundaries and provide dependable, consistent care throughout your time away. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I maintain a consistent daily routine with flexible hours, and afternoons and evenings are open most days. Feeding, walks, and check-ins happen at reliable times so pets stay comfortable and owners know what to expect. I approach every home and animal with calm professionalism and respect. I’m attentive to boundaries, cleanliness, and consistency — whether I’m providing a single visit or longer in-home care. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on the animals in my care. My priority is reliability: safe handling, clear communication, and a steady, grounded presence.
“Kari did a fantastic job checking up on my two cats while I was out of the country. She even took pics which I know is not an easy task with my cats…they’re either elusive or constantly moving. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kari for her services again in the future.”
“Avery has been AWESOME!!! I have three DIFFICULT cats. One was diagnosed with FIP a month ago and he needs life-saving meds at the same time every day. On top of that, he is TERRIFIED of everyone except for me. My other two are also scaredy cats. Avery was able to work with all three cats, made sure my sick kitty got his meds every night (even though he refused to come out of hiding!!!), befriended the two shy kitties (including the spicy one!!!) Avery made sure to check in with me each day- before, during and after every visit! I am also a pet/house sitter so I'm picky and particular, especially with my own cats being SO tricky, and I'd give Avery a 10/10! Already have future petsitting dates requested! Thank you SO much, Avery!!! 🫶🏼”
About: I love dogs. More importantly, dogs love me. Just know that I will be pouring my love into your furry friends as they wait for your return to them. I am an author currently work from home and have very flexible hours seven days a week so I will have plenty of time to love your furry friends I currently only accept jobs that are in the owners home and believe it is the best and most stress free experience for your furry friends.
About: As an animal lover myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while away. I pride myself in being responsible and reliable, and I care for each animal as I would my own. Hope to meet you and your furry friend soon! Pet sitting is currently my only work obligation, but I don’t necessarily see it as work. It’s more so doing something I love while being able to make extra income while doing it. I currently do not have any pets in my home, but the two dogs I did own were both indoor dogs that I would take outside to help release energy. I show them attention and affection. I do not just feed and water them. I go beyond meeting their basic needs. I like to ensure pets get the physical and mental stimulation they need, along with a little extra love through pets.
“Very good dog sitter. Did really good with our big dogs. Very communicative and really cares about them. Very trust worthy. We did not have to worry about her during our time away from home.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ridgeside
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This was my first time ever having someone other than family take care of my Tori girl, so I was definitely nervous! Malinda was wonderful from the very beginning. She met with us twice before our scheduled day so Tori could get to know her, and I felt so much better knowing Tori was comfortable with her before I left. She was sweet and patient with my girl, followed everything I asked, and kept me updated throughout both visits. Being able to enjoy my day away without worrying about Tori meant more to me than she probably realizes. I came home to a happy, well-cared-for puppy, and I will absolutely be calling Malinda again! ❤️
We are so thankful to Abby for taking care of Daisy aka Kitoni. Abby was communicative and always there when she said she would be. She has helped us in the past and is a big reason we were able to take our family trip this year. Also she will spoil your pet (in a good way)!
Lauren always goes above and beyond with our dogs! She checks in, send the best updates/pictures, and even goes as far as to brush them / vacuum their hair / clean any accidents. She always checks in with us before doing anything and we feel so comfortable and confident while she watches our boys! Highly recommend!
Alyssa was wonderful with my animals! Even for just a quick drop-in visit, she took my dog on a walk and gave attention to both my dog and cat too! Alyssa is super communicative and sent lots of pictures of my animals throughout the visit, as well as sent a detailed rundown of the trip. I would absolutely trust her to watch my animals again- I highly recommend booking with her! :)
Madeline really saved our butts when our original planned pet sitter chose not to answer her phone the day before we were leaving town, leaving us scrambling for coverage for 11 hours in the middle of the day. Madeline did not know us and still agreed at 11:30 PM the night before our 4 AM flight. She updated us throughout the day, played with the dogs, and honestly I think they were sad when we came home. She saved us again when our last flight into Chattanooga was canceled due to weather. Despite it being a holiday, she came back to feed and walk them again without hesitation. We will absolutely be using her again and recommending her to everyone we know.
Presley and I had a bit of a hiccup to start so I was unsure how things would go this first time. Well, let assure you I had no need to worry, as she has proven to be a superior pet care provider. In the many years I have been using Rover.com to identify pet sitters, I have never known anyone to write up such informative, upbeat, thorough daily reports. These missives were a delight to receive. As a result, I always felt confident my Ali was being well cared for. Thank you, Presley!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
