“Jordan took incredible care of our two cats while we were out of town! Jordan went above and beyond for us and sent us sweet pictures every drop-in! We definitely will use Jordan again in the future!”
About: Hi, I’m Rachel! I’ve always been a dog lover, growing up with a furry friend by my side. Now, I have Winston, my 1 year old golden retriever, 11 week boxer, Baxter and my two cats Charlie and Emilio! Yes we have a full house! I know firsthand how much care, attention, and love our pets need. With years of experience caring for dogs, I understand how to provide the right balance of exercise, playtime, and relaxation to keep your dog happy and healthy. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, cuddles, or outdoor adventures, I’m committed to giving them the care they deserve. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting and am currently available part-time. I’ll follow your pet’s routine to make sure they feel at ease while you’re away. I’d love to meet your pup and provide loving care in a safe, fun environment. Feel free to reach out—I can’t wait to help take care of your furry friend! I offer flexible, part-time hours for dog walking, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. Whether you need daily walks or occasional care, I’ll adjust to your schedule to keep your pup happy and well-cared for. I have a spacious house with a fully fenced backyard in a large neighborhood, featuring two fields for dogs to play and explore. Your pup is welcome on the couch or bed, ensuring they feel like family.
“Deana did a great job with my 3 cats-all different with different needs. She really is a "Cat Whisperer" because my usually shy cat who is rarely seen by visitors came out to play and even get a belly rub!. She was also able to give this same cat her oral medicine daily. What a relief. All the details from first communication, to meet and greet to care of kitties, daily updates and a clean house to return to, were great! It was a pleasure meeting Deana and would highly recommend her services!”
“We are always happy with Dasha! She spends good quality time with our Noodle and makes him feel safe and comfortable while we're away. She is so reliable and responsive.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since 2016, with only one or two frequent ones. I have my own cat and have watched others while house-sitting. In the past, I have also taken care of a deaf dog. I am currently not working, trying to start a photography business, and slowly working my way through community college. I can still care for animals, as I live at home with my family. I will feed, water, and take pets on walks. In the coldest weather, walks may be limited, as I don't do well in cold, but I do have a backyard so they will get plenty of outdoor time, and my own dog to chase around the property. I do offer free pet photos while your furry friends are in my care.
“Rachael was professional and kept our kitties happy. We felt very comfortable with her dropping in to care for our kitties, and will definitely use her services again!”
“Sarah took amazing care of our 2 kitties while we were camping for 5 days! She updated us daily with photos and let us know how they were doing every time. I would definitely book with her again and recommend her to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
About: I have a giant 110 pound dog and I have been walking him for years. I have a lot of experience with walking all types of dogs, big, small, reactive, and trained. I currently only do DoorDash deliveries and Instacart deliveries for income, so my schedule is flexible and open. This is what I’m looking to do for income. I won’t necessarily be able to bring the dogs to my house because one of my dogs is not too fond of other dogs, but I can walk your dogs and feed your cats.
About: I've lived with animals all my life, and have looked after my family's pets occasionally. I am an all around animal lover, I'm professional and dependable, and I'm great at following directions. I have some trips planned for the coming future, so a few stretches of time will be unavailable. I will be very transparent and communicative with prospective clients about my schedule. Feel free to ask me for details! I will be respectful and conscientious when inside all clients' homes, and will do everything in my ability to keep your pet comfortable in their own routines and habits.
“Toni was awesome and very responsive. She swooped in and saved the day for us when we needed last minute care for our two young dogs. Will absolutely use Toni again if we need care.”

I truly love both dogs and cats and treat every animal like my own. I have a background in healthcare, so I’m very comfortable with pets who need a little extra support.

I’ll always leave things tidy and cared for. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide references. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family Animal lover with lifelong experience caring for dogs and cats. I grew up with veterinary care in my home (my mom is a vet) and have a strong background in healthcare, which makes me comfortable with senior pets, medications, and special care needs, including injections if needed. I’m active and enjoy daily walks, and I’m very attentive to routine and safety. I’m reliable, calm, and detail-oriented. I also keep spaces clean and organized and treat every home and pet with respect. References available upon request. Can not care for pets in my household, we already have 3 dogs and 1 cat. I am comfortable going to where the pet lives.
About: I’ve worked in the animal care industry for 10 years now and I’ve grown up with dogs ! They are absolutely a passion of mine! I am also the owner and operator of Oh Shih Tzu mobile grooming! I currently work part time as I am a mom to a 4 year old daughter , so I am home a lot with my own pups! I love taking them to parks and trails and playdates with other dog friends ! I always treat any animal like they are my own! I love getting to know pups and their personalities as every pup is special in their own way !
“My boys are very excitable & can be quite loud. I was worried about leaving them with someone entering our home they had only met briefly as they’re giant scaredy cats, but the patience shown to help them relax paired with lotsa cuddles, text updates, photos, and report cards brought me so much comfort! We’ll be having Arielle back ASAP 🖤”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was little, I have always had a pet growing up, I will make sure to treat your dog like my own and protect them at all cost. I work three days a week and because I love working with animals I chose to join rover so I can spend the other days with as many animals as I can. I would care for them as if they were my own, make sure they have food and play time, access to where they go potty and just making them feel like a friend is always there when their owner can't be there.

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.
