“Veronica was so kind. She went above and beyond and loved on our pups. It relived any Anxiety I had for being away from them all day. They are usually home during the day with my husband but we both had very busy schedules and we knew it would be hard to give them the attention they needed. Veronica took them on walks and played with them. I was thrilled. I will definitely be calling her again.”

“Sydney was absolutely wonderful! As a new cat mom and a first-time Rover user, I was a little nervous about leaving my two ragdoll one year old boys, but Sydney immediately put me at ease. I really appreciated that she came over for a meet-and-greet beforehand, and it was clear right away how genuinely she loves and understands animals. While I was away, her updates made me feel completely comfortable knowing the cats were in great hands. She was incredibly attentive, spent time playing with them, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. I loved getting her updates and seeing how well they were doing. I couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. I highly recommend Sydney and will absolutely be booking with her again!”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes including Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to German Shepherds. I currently have a cat of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets while you’re away. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly pet sat for family members, including a high-energy Husky mix who requires daily exercise and attention. I also regularly walk dogs at the Oregon Dog Rescue. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and working with reactive dogs. When caring for your pet, I prioritize reliability, communication, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion around, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them most comfortable. I work full-time during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable morning, evening, and weekend pet care. Dog walks, drop-in visits and house sitting are a great fit for my schedule, and I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I often have the ability to work remotely for a more flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or simply companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you’re away! I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision. When caring for pets, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special requirements. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.

About: We provide a safe, cozy, low-stress environment so your pup feels comfortable, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away. Lots of attention, familiar routines, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into our daily and weekly routine. One of us works from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention throughout the day. We also have two teen girls who love helping with care — extra cuddles, playtime, and lots of love included. Daily walks are part of our routine, along with a calm, cozy home environment where pups feel safe and spoiled. We care for pets as if they’re part of our family. In our home, dogs enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, plenty of supervision, and a calm, comfortable environment. Since we don’t currently have pets of our own, your dog gets our full attention — from playtime and walks to cuddles and downtime. Our goal is always to keep your pup feeling secure, relaxed, and right at home.

About: Please read my entire profile before sending me a booking request - Thank you! Quick note for dog owners: I work part-time retail shifts of up to 8 hours, so I can only accommodate dogs that are comfortable being alone for 6 hours or more. If your dog needs more frequent check-ins due to anxiety, age, or health needs, please inquire about my constant care service (starting at $150/night) before sending a request. If you're unsure whether your dog qualifies, feel free to message me! Providing pets with specialized individual care and love has been a big part of my life. I grew up with two German Shepards and spent much of my childhood caring for them as part of my daily chores. In middle school, I started volunteering at the Oregon Humane Society as a volunteer requirement, and I consider the time I spent walking dogs, cleaning cat rooms, and socializing with small animals a really valuable experience. Volunteering at OHS at a young age taught me the value and importance of creating safe and welcoming spaces for pets so that they feel loved and cherished. I have always loved dogs and cats, but I also have experience in caring for small animals (guinea pigs, hamsters, rats/mice), chickens, goats and horses. So if you have one of these more unconventional pets, I would be happy to discuss my rates and plans for their care. The most important thing to me in providing care is making sure that both the pet and owner feel completely comfortable during the service, which begins even before I met your pet for the first time. I do my best to respond quickly to each and every request within a few minutes (I am most available from 10am to 10pm), but any requests sent outside of that time frame may be slower to receive a response. During house sits and drop-in visits, I will stay in regular communication with texts and photo updates. During walks and drop-in visits, I utilize Rover cards which will let you know information about the walk/visit, and I am always available on my Rover number during any service booking. Every pet is unique, and I will do everything I can to make sure that they are given the best care while under my care. Our pets are our furry children and deserve to have individualized care that fits their needs and makes them happy. I am excited to have the opportunity to provide your pet(s) with the care that they deserve, and I look forward to working with you to do that. Last updated 8/14/26 I am a part-time student at PCC taking classes online this summer. I also work retail, and I am currently scheduled 4-6 days per week between 10am–7pm, with shifts up to 8hrs. Lastly, I volunteer in the OHSU Trauma unit on Sundays from 5-9pm, so if your pet has a nightly routine (such as a feeding time) that interferes with this, I may need to adjust my volunteer schedule or I’ll ask you if we can adjust their schedule. I prefer to take care of pets that can be alone for 6 hours or more since that is what fits best with my current schedule. However, if your pet cannot be left alone for more than 4 hours, please inquire about my constant care service for house-sitting. “Constant care” can be defined differently by each sitter, but for my services, constant care refers to pets who need check-ins at least every 4 hours due to health concerns (ie, anxiety, medication), age-related needs (ie, incontinence), or other special requirements. My base constant care house-sitting rates start at $150 per night for a single dog, and $90 per night for a single cat. Rates may vary depending on your pet’s specific care needs. If your pet requires constant care, I may also need to take time off work to provide the necessary supervision, which will increase the overall cost. During the summer, my general availability for constant care is Monday thru Sunday. If you have questions about the constant care service or pricing, please include them when you first inquire. Please note: Due to my current work schedule, I am unable to accommodate pets that are unable to be left alone for at least 4 hours UNLESS you book my constant care service. If you do not want to book constant care, I recommend seeking a boarding service or another provider who specializes in higher-need care. Last updated: 8/7/26 Before accepting any care requests, I like to arrange a meet and greet to get to know you and your pet's needs and personality. All pets are cared for as if they were my own, and I will return them to your care, happier and healthier than when they were first turned over into my care. If you have any concerns, I am always available through my Rover number through text or call to answer any questions. I would like to know the following if you book my house-sitting services: Do you have any cameras inside or outside of the home? Will they need to be on at all times? Are you willing to turn any inside cameras off while I am in your home for the duration of the stay? What am I allowed to use or access while I am staying in your home? Is there anything that I cannot use or access while I am staying in your home? Are there any housekeeping chores you would like me to do while I am staying in your home? (vacuuming, mail/package collection, indoor plant watering, etc) Is there anything else about your home that would be important for me to know? (wifi password, code/key for house entry, etc) Last updated 4/4/26

About: Hello! I offer in-home pet sitting and provide drop-in visits and dog walking services. I truly enjoy spending quality time with animals and love giving dogs and the attention, affection, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are extremely important to me, and I will always respect your routines, requests, and care instructions to ensure they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. A little about me: I have a strong love for animals and have gained hands-on experience through various volunteer positions working with pets. I have volunteered with Animal Aid Inc., where I gained experience caring for both cats and dogs. In addition, I am currently studying to become a veterinary technician through the Penn Foster program, where I continue to expand my knowledge of animal health, behavior, and care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions, concerns, or thoughts about working with me. I will always do my best to respond promptly and provide compassionate, attentive, and reliable care for your beloved pet. My schedule is flexible, and I prioritize keeping pets on a consistent routine with regular walks, feeding times, and attention throughout the day. I’ll always communicate clearly about availability and send updates during each stay. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I try to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible by following feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any household rules you provide. Whether in my home or yours, I focus on creating a calm, safe, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Here is an example of the important aspects I require in a care guide: 1. Feeding Schedule/Amount 2. Walking Schedule/Best Destinations and Best Walking Routes 3. Personality/Needs (Do they have dietary restrictions? Do they pull on the leash? Any important commands I should know?) 4. House Rules 5. Vet Info/Emergency Contact I look forward to working with you and your pet!

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was nine years old, when my family began fostering animals. Growing up, I took an active role in their daily care, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure each animal felt comfortable and loved. These experiences taught me how to adapt to pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I also grew up with an energetic Australian Shepherd who was part of my family for 13 years, so I’m especially comfortable with active breeds that need plenty of exercise and attention! Since high school, I’ve also regularly walked and cared for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m a very active person who loves spending time outdoors, and I’d be happy to take your dog on anything from a relaxed neighborhood stroll to a longer, energetic walk or run, depending on their needs. Whether your pet loves exploring outside, playing fetch, or relaxing with some extra attention, I’ll make sure they receive thoughtful, dependable care and plenty of affection! I currently work part-time as a medical assistant, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate my days off to pet care. I love staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine! Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk or a longer run for a high-energy pup, I’m excited to spend my free time doing something I enjoy while making sure your pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, so I always prioritize following their owner’s instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to maintain their usual feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and give them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of all energy levels and love tailoring walks to their needs. I also understand the importance of respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and love I’ve given my own pets over the years!

We booked Kristen on short notice after our sitter canceled on us. Oliver (our cat) is diabetic, so that comes with some additional responsibilities for a cat sitter. Kristen was so communicative and on top of everything for care. She asked questions to make sure she understood what to do. She also sent so many pictures and gave Oliver lots of cuddles. Highly recommend due to her friendly demeanor, reliability, and responsiveness!

Dannielle was absolutely incredible with our two cats while we were away for Labor Day Weekend! We have a 15 year old cat who has several daily medications (both oral and topical) and Dannielle administered all of them with no issues! Not only that, but she gave her a “breakfast in bed” experience so she could eat where she was sitting comfortably. Dannielle played with our 1 year old cat, even giving her some delicious silvervine. We got so many pictures and videos of our babies, which was the highlight of our evenings while we were gone. Truly cannot recommend Dannielle enough, incredible sitter!!

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.
