“On time and very thorough, plus my animals loved Katie from the very moment they met her!! If I ever need animal care again I’ll definitely re-book if she’s available 😊”
“We’re so thankful for Simone’s daily drop ins this past month! She has been flexible, responsive, and incredibly thoughtful while caring for our dogs. Huge plus is she takes play time seriously which our blue heeler loves! We highly recommend Simone to anyone looking for an awesome and trustworthy sitter.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a kid. I grew up with multiple dogs in my home and loved every second of it. I don’t mind watching dogs of all ages. I’m also used to walking dogs of all sizes big and small. I am currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to watch or walk your animals! I am definitely available to work weekdays and most weekends. My home does not have a yard so I prefer to watch your animals at your house. I don’t mind crating your animals while I’m gone if you need me to. They will definitely get a lot of attention from me because I love giving them pets (if they want it of course).
About: I’ve been caring for the cats and dogs of others since I was 15. Whether this be dog walking or drop in visits, I’ve got it covered. I also have experience with reptiles and rodents! I have one cat of my own who is asthmatic, and I grew up with a cat and 3 dogs! I can properly handle rowdy dogs, leash pullers, and much more. I know how to work on basic commands such as sit and down if you are in the training process! I have a flexible class and work schedule. I’m in a prime area for fellow LSU students in need of pet care. As an early bird, I am more than open to waking up early for drop ins or dog walks, and I can always make time in the evening as well. If mid day stops are needed, I can definitely try to work it into my day! I can promise a clean and safe environment your pet will thrive in. I am extremely vigilant when it comes to the safety of both the animal and the home, and I am skilled (from experience) at ensuring the best experience for the pets and belongings as a whole. I have worked with harness trained cats and know the limitations they require! I’ve walked dogs of all leash types and am more than comfortable having fun in backyards and parks!
“Mason was FANTASTIC with our cat and provided constant communication, updates, and pictures while we were away! She’s fantastic and I highly recommend! Thank you Mason!”
“I booked Blayne last minute after another caregiver fell through! Blayne took excellent care of my cat, Gracie! She followed all instructions and sent cute videos and photos of her while I was away for a wedding!! Highly recommend!”
“Myra is wonderful! She was punctual for drop ins and made sure my fur babies were cared for during my absence. I highly recommend Myra- her service is unmatched….we will definitely book again.”
About: Have resided with small dogs such as yorkies up to large dogs such as cane corsos. Have also worked with K9s during my time spent working in airport cargo Im currently unemployed so my schedule is very flexible when it comes to my daily/weekly routine. Pet care is my #1 source of employment. I have a full sized car available for outings. I clean up well behind myself & respect other peoples space & boundaries. I follow any rules & regulations put in place for the good of the pet & integrity of myself
About: I have taken care of small and large animals since I was very young. I currently work as a vet tech for my full time job, but love to look after people’s fuzzy family members in my free time! I am most free on the weekends or evenings for walks/drop ins/etc, but if you need a service outside of this time, please let me know and I will do my best to accommodate. I believe pets feel most comfortable in their own home, so I enjoy being able to do visits vs care in my home. I think this goes beyond their comfort while resting in their home but also allowing them to go on walk routes they are familiar with.
About: I’ve always been an animal lover! I wasn’t able to have pets growing up because of my families allergies, but that didn’t stop me from treating my neighbors and friends pets like my own! I’ve had plenty of experience taking care of dogs from dachshunds to mastiffs! I also love cats and volunteer at CAA regularly. I know how important it is to make your pets feel safe and loved! I’m currently a full-time student at LSU! My schedule is very flexible outside of classes and I have plenty of time for walks, playing, cuddles, or just company. I’m more than happy to work with you to create a routine for your pet. Your pets safety and happiness is my responsibility and top priority. I will always follow your instructions, respect your pets space, and make sure all their needs are met. I’m happy to send pictures, videos, and updates often so you can check in!
“Savannah did a great job with my wild man!!! He was so excited when she got here he kept jumping on her! She was able to re-direct him from this uncharacteristic behavior for him… Meeko seemed to enjoyed his visitor while I was gone! Thanks Savannah”
About: I’ve always had a love for animals including my two current doodles and one sweet kitty! I have cared for numerous animals throughout my life, and now I hope to meet your precious fur babies! I am currently out of school for the summer and only working for my parents’ company, so I have plenty of time to care for your babies! I will make sure your pets get lots of attention and receive their meals on time. I will adapt any schedule to your specific requirements, ensuring them safe and happy care while their parent(s) are away:)
About: I've been around animals of all kinds since I was young. I even lived on a farm at one point in time working with animals ranging from rabbits to cattle. I've done volunteer work at shelters and taken care of dogs and cats belonging to friends and family. I also have my own pup, Pace, who I've taken care of for over 9 years. I love all animals, especially dogs, and have experience with walking, feeding and taking care of many breeds of all sizes. I am a full time college student, however my afternoons are almost completely free during the week. Boarding or overnight sitting throughout the week is off the table, however I will be as flexible as possible to accommodate drop ins, walks and sitting during the day. While I don't have my own place at the moment, I have experience with dogs in almost any home environment. I have no problem with structuring and handling feeding, walks or playtime. I might even enjoy it more than they will.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Riverland
Marian was awesome!! It was my first time leaving one of my kitties and my other cat is a senior with some medical problems, but Marian took great care of them and was super communicative and quick to respond! I felt at ease with her watching over my fur babies! :D
Fantastic as always. Kim is always amazing with her communication and care of our girls. Updates & Photos show the pups love having her drop in on them and they give her lots of kisses. Can’t thank Kim enough for her loving care of our girls while we are out of town. Definitely will be re-booking for the next adventure if she is available. ❤️
Kaila was fantastic with our dogs! She kept them entertained, made sure they ate all of their food, and carefully followed all of the notes and instructions we left for her. She even sent us pictures during her visit, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs took to her immediately, and it was clear she genuinely cared about them and enjoyed spending time with them. Kaila also treated our home with the utmost respect and made sure everything was put back exactly where it belonged. We couldn't be happier with the care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend Kaila to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional pet 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.
