“Erin helped us out last minute with some drop in visits to take our two puppies and older dog out for potty/play breaks when we were going to be out of the house for longer periods of time than usual. She was great with them, especially with my boy who was being difficult for her. I highly recommend going to Erin for your pet sitting needs, and I definitely plan to book with her again in the future! Thank you, Erin!!! :-)”
About: Hello! My name is Kayla, I work a typical M-F 8-5 but can take your pet for walks or do check ins during my lunch break as well, I’m free most weekends, I’m a perfectionist and detail oriented. No matter the task, I’m always willing to help out, simply ask away! Whatever you need, I gotchu! I work Monday thru Friday 8-5 but have an hour lunch break I can take anytime between 11 to 1. I am free most weekends too! I can be very active with your pet or have a relaxing cuddle day, whatever your pet is in the mood for or whatever you need from me.
“Sofia did a great job taking care of my dog for a few days! She was very responsive and friendly. She sent lots of pictures of them playing, which always makes me feel better. She even brought Moose extra toys and sat with him to make sure he finished his dinner. I trust her with my pup and would book again!”
About: I've had many animals throughout my life, 7 dogs, 9 cats, and small mammals. I mostly have experience with Australian Shepherds and German Shepherds. At the moment I have two small dogs and a young cat, who all get along together very well! I love animals and I pay very close attention to them to make sure their needs are met and they're happy. I'm not the type of person to just quickly check-in on a dog and let them outside- I play with them, give them attention, exercise them. I work part time and random hours, so I wake up early to let my dogs out, then feed them at 8 and again at 4. One of my dogs is hyperactive and guards her food so each of her meals is a training session. I usually make her walk on the treadmill for 10 minutes and follow various commands while I hand-feed her meals. My animals are never alone for more than 4 hours at a time, so they get to go out many times. I don't have a fenced in yard so they are always on a leash. All of my animals are friendly towards other dogs, cautious with cats. My apartment is somewhat small, so I would prefer to work in a client's home. In that situation I would stop in as many times as the client prefers. I take my time to play with the animals under my care and give them attention. I do my best to make sure they never feel lonely.
About: I have lots of experience with taking care of animals, and I'm that crazy dog mom that treats my dog like my child. I also have experience with service dog training, cat care, and pet first aid & CPR. I work a full time job on a rotation night shift schedule-(I'm nocturnal! I'm available in the evenings & overnights on my days off, and every other weekend for all your pet care needs! (yes i can do VERY late check ins!) If you need pet care early morning or late afternoon I can potentially make that work too! I have a friendly senior dog to keep your dog company if they visit my home, and a dog play room with LOTS of toys. I also have a large crate for your dog to use if necessary. I've been a dog mom for 9 years so we have everything here that your pup could ever need! I will also come perpared with anything your dog may need for my visit -leash, bags, treats, water, bowl, ect! I will treat your house with respect and care for your pets like my own. I can send photos and updates and I'm very responsive to messages/calls. I will follow any rules and routines you have in place for your pets. I promise that your fur kid will be safe & secure.
About: I have cared for dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities for friends and family members over the years. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My boyfriend, who will be joining me on walks, grew up with dogs and has plenty of experience caring for them as well. We also love participating in shelter “Skip Days,” where we take dogs out of the shelter for walks and quality time. We look forward to giving your pup the same love, attention, and care we would give our own! Pet care fits perfectly into our routine because we both work during the week and are available on weekends. We’re happy to work with your schedule and make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. Before each walk, we’ll make sure we understand your dog’s routine, personality, walking habits, and any special instructions you provide. We’ll keep your dog securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and give them plenty of attention throughout the walk. We’ll also treat your home and belongings with care and leave everything just as we found it. We want you to feel confident knowing your pup is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away!
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family And friends , and have some of my own. I can feed , bathe and do much more. I also enjoy playing with pets indoors or outdoors. I have classes 1pm-6pm Monday’s and Wednesdays and then class from 9am-2pm Tuesdays and Thursdays. After those times I’m completely available and can make things work !! I have pets myself and will never do anything to put anyone’s babies in danger! I also don’t have pets in my apartment currently so no need to worry about anything. I live near a park and have no issue with sending updates and such
“Madison is super trustworthy, followed all my instructions to the T, and communicated all throughout her drop ins! I will definitely book her, again, with a peace of mind if she’s available in the future!”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young. I understand that pets are apart of the family and how difficult it is to leave them behind when on vacations. That’s why it’s so important to me to make sure there is someone who treats my animals the same way! Alex (my significant other) and I would love nothing more than making sure your furry friend remains comfortable and safe while you are away. Alex and I both work through the day but live very local (5 minutes from our home) so we can check on them throughout the day if needed. We are also very active so pets that need extra walking or a hike is not a big issue for us in the least! I work full time and so does my partner Alex, however we both get an hour lunch and are willing to both work around schedules to fit where needed! Both of us do live very close to home so if needed we can always stop by the house and check in. My pets are my family so yours would become my family as well! Both cats and dogs need someone that is going to be willing to play with them daily! I have multiple kennels of different sizes if a pet needs one/is comfortable with one. If not I also have a room dedicated to keeping pets comfy while I am gone during the day. It’s always helpful to have a space where pets can decompress when they are in an unknown location.
About: I've taken care and rescued all sorts of animals from guinea pigs to giant pitties. I have been in rescue for about 9 years. It comes out of pocket, but if I don't save them or help who will? I am also good at medication injection and oral administration of medication as well. I can do walks, check in's, doggy day care, house sit, etc. I will accommodate your needs for your furbaby. I am not afraid of bigger dogs as most people might be. I think of them as giant teddy bears. I will send plenty of updates and pictures as I know leaving your furbaby with a stranger can be absolutely nerve wrecking. Whatever makes my customer happy I will be more than willing to meet their request. Just give me instruction, your furbabies name, any allergies, medications, walk/yard time and frequency, feeding schedule, and any other information you see fit and I guarantee your precious furbaby will find a new friend! I am currently employed part time and in school part time this semster over at Johnson College for Veterinary Nursing. My schedule is pretty packed, but I will make accommodations with you to accommodate the needs of your furbabies or ones with scales. I moved in March of last year so boarding at the new place might be a bit busy. I do have enough room to accommodate at least 3 dogs. I don't have a fenced in yard at my apartment however I love to take them on long walks. I have walked dogs of all sizes. Super tiny to 100+lbs. I also have my own pupper Krypto so if boarding at my home please make sure your dog is other dog friendly as well as cats. I have 2 cats, 1 dog, 1 rat and a goldfish. If you are looking to board in my home I suggest a meet & greet to make sure your furbabies and mine are safe for their stay. I care for my clients furbabies like they are my own. I make sure the furbabies are happy and healthy. I will make sure my clients needs and wants are met. If you need me to watch them at your house, your house will be treated like my home. I will make sure your home is like you left it. I love to send updates because I know leaving your furbabies is really nerve wrecking.

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.
