About: I've always loved dogs and cats and felt very passionate about them. I have two years animal shelter experience taking care of dogs and cats. This included feeding several different types of foods and diets to pets, ensuring pets' safety, cleaning cages and kennels, cleaning litter boxes, and taking out dogs into the yard. I am available most days and times every week to care for your pets. I offer mostly drop ins and I do have exceptions like I will be going on vacation this month so just message me within one day to request a booking. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I pay attention to dogs and cats body languages to ensure their safety needs and emotional needs are met. I let pets come to me first so that they can feel comfortable and safe around me. I treat every pet with respect and if they do not want to say hi yet, that is totally fine with me I will feed them and clean litterbox, etc and they will warm up to me eventually. I watch puppies and young dogs very carefully so that they do not get into trouble and I always make sure the floors are puppy/dog proofed.
“Nicole did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. She went above and beyond to make sure her needs were met, including taking medication.”
“We are grateful for Angela caring for our dog while we were away. Our sweet dog has been experiencing difficulties with her hind legs and we were worried about leaving her, but Angela made us feel comfortable with her care. The peace of mind was allowed us to enjoy our time away. Thank you, Angela!!”
“Meghan took great care of Dakota while we were away for a few hours. She gave her lots of frisbee time, and breaks and water to cool her off because it was a hot day. She is very caring and a true dog person. :-) Dakota was so relaxed and happy when we arrived home. We found Meghan at the last minute and are so grateful that she was available. Such a relief. We highly recommend her.”
About: I have been in the caring business since my teenage years - babysitting my younger siblings, caring for my family dog, running a summer enrichment program for at risk youth, caring for horses at a dude ranch and a western suburbs farm, minding many friends' dogs, and wrangling my own two senior dogs - brother and sister, now 14 years old. (But so rambunctious for 10+ years). I love dogs and will care for your dog just as you would. One of my dogs is now blind and the other requires daily subcutaneous fluids so I am willing and able to help out with any of your pet's special needs as well..... I know how stressful it can be to ensure a routine is kept. I am currently on a full time job hunt and very available (with notice) to care for your dogs most days and evenings as I can do this work remotely. Depending on your dog's needs I can usually provide bathroom breaks every 4 hours in between errands, etc. My calendar will be updated to show days I plan to be away. At this time, I can care for pets in my client's home. I do need to bring my dogs for the overnight portion of the stay but will keep them separate in a room/space of your choosing during the evening (and on bedroom floor at night). They are very dog friendly just very sleepy and do well snoozing someplace quiet.
“Shannon is AMAZING! She agreed to take my Charlie out after a few sitters turned me down due to timing. She is reliable, punctual and dependable. I have peace of mind knowing Charlie is in good hands with her. She also takes great photos of Charlie :).”
“Abby was absolutely amazing with my puppy. She followed instructions, took initiative and truly cared for my pup like her own. I highly recommend her if you’re looking for a reliable responsible punctual caring pet sitter.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and have been a lifelong pet owner. Over the last 10 years, I’ve cared for my own dogs as well as the pets of family and friends, giving me experience with pups of all ages, sizes, and personalities. After recently saying goodbye to my sweet boxer girl after her battle with cancer, I’m looking forward to filling my days with more tail wags, fetch, and the happiness dogs bring. I know how much our dogs mean to us and how important it is for them to feel loved, stay active, and get plenty of attention. Whether your pup needs walks, playtime, cuddles, boarding, or just some extra care while you’re away, I’d love the chance to spoil them like they’re my own! I have a flexible schedule during the week and am available Monday through Friday to provide reliable care, walks, and companionship for your pet. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine and find times that fit their needs, whether that means a morning walk, midday visit, or extra attention throughout the day. I also offer boarding in my home, where I can provide a comfortable, caring environment with plenty of love, attention, and a routine that helps your dog feel relaxed and at home while you’re away. My home is a comfortable, pet-friendly space where dogs can feel safe, relaxed, and at home. I have a fenced-in yard in a quiet neighborhood, giving dogs plenty of room to explore, play, and enjoy some outdoor time in a secure environment. I also have plenty of space inside my home for dogs to settle in, including the option to crate if that is part of their normal routine. I understand that every dog has different comfort levels and needs, and I’m happy to follow the routines and preferences that make them feel most at ease. For dogs who enjoy the water, I also have a pool where they can cool off and have some fun during the summer. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where dogs can relax, play, and feel like part of the family.
“Diana did a really nice job caring for our two kitties whilst we were away on vacation for two weeks. She insured they had enough food (and adjusted as needed), water, brushed our long haired Kitty, scooped the litter boxes, and played with them both. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our mail daily and also a few packages that arrived. We really appreciated Diana’s attention to detail and the wonderful daily updates she provided on Rover. It gave us peace of mind that our fur babies were in good hands and well cared for so we could enjoy our vacation. I highly recommend Diana. She’s a sweetheart. Thanks so much, Diana!”
“Adriana is a life saver- she was able to watch my dog on short notice and she was great with him. She was professional, caring towards my pup and detail oriented with communication as well. It was so appreciated. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jacqueline was very professional and asked to come to a meet and greet the day before a sitting session Shadow felt at ease and warmed up to her very quickly. I will be reaching out to her again.”
About: As a former veterinary receptionist, I’ve had 3 years of experience helping care for dogs and cats. Now pursuing art, I’m looking to continue to help take care of pets. I’m currently working on pursuing my art career, so my schedule is pretty open for drop ins or walks. I’m occasionally available for in-house pet sitting. In the part few years, I’ve developed a real heart for animals. Pet care is so important, giving a voice to those who can’t speak.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for as long as I can remember. Currently in my house, we have 3 dogs and 2 cats that I help take care of. I have been on Rover for about 6 years. I am an elementary teacher and high school girls basketball coach. I am currently on summer break since I am an elementary teacher. This means that I have a lot of free time because I am not working anywhere else. I am a very active person, so I love playing with all dogs and taking them on nice, long walks. I have also been around dogs and cats my whole life, so I love spending time with all animals.
“OMG, Juliette is amazing! She came each day almost to the minute and took care of everything. She kept us updated with pics and videos of our kitties and went above and beyond by doing whatever she could to make each visit perfect! Highly recommend!”
“Samantha is such a delight. Not only is she great with Bonnie, she was great to work with as an over protective and nervous pet owner using this app for the first time! She came to meet Bonnie days for the first walk and right when she walked in the door I knew Bonnie was safe with her. She’s experienced and confident and really transparent. Samantha is also very responsive and easy to coordinate with- she was very patient with me as my schedule changed last minute.”
“We couldn’t be happier with Rachel. She is reliable, caring. She provided always great updates. us peace of mind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and wonderful with dogs!”
About: I have been pet setting for friends and family for the past fifteen years. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each and every fur baby I come in contact with. I do not have pets of our own, so we really take this time to provide all the love and attention to your pet while we have them Spending time with me . I have grown up with dogs and cats, my entire life, and once we moved to Charlotte, have helped our neighbors tremendously while they vacation our daily walks around our community. Days are that much more fun when we have someone to bring along with us , especially since we have a dog park walking distance from our home. I can’t wait to meet your loving pet, and give it the same love and attention it deserves. I work from home, so have unlimited time to give your pet attention and take for as many walks as needed. Typically I take two walks a day, but frequently take more when pet sitting there is an enclosed porch area that are smaller dogs that we watch like to hang out on to get sun and fresh air since our yard is not fully enclosed. On weekends that we are pet sitting, we make it a point to stay local and to include your pet in any of the activities that we do around the house. We have a large yard and an enclosed porch area that we can spend time with your dog on. Within walking distance from our house, there’s a small dog park as well. I spend a lot of time outside, walking multiple times a day and would be happy to have your pet accompany. My daughter Isabella is very mature and is excellent with helping. Keep your pet entertained if that is what they prefer. For the dogs that I have sat, and are not as active, I make sure that they have the space that they need and attentive enough to understand when there needs change.
About: I am a dog lover and would enjoying helping out with anyone's pup who needs an active sitter! I work from home and have 2 dogs who are very friendly!

Meghan took great care of Dakota while we were away for a few hours. She gave her lots of frisbee time, and breaks and water to cool her off because it was a hot day. She is very caring and a true dog person. :-) Dakota was so relaxed and happy when we arrived home. We found Meghan at the last minute and are so grateful that she was available. Such a relief. We highly recommend her.
I trust her with my dog and two kitties - that says it all! I can see in all the photos she sends that they love to see her when she cares for them! She even made sure to clean up messes the kitties made on the rug while I was traveling. Her honest and timely communication is very appreciated. Highly recommend Madeline!
We reach out to Adriana first whenever we need intermittent/drop in visits for our sweet 15 year old dog. She's used to us home with her most of the time, and when we need to leave her for longer than she's used to, Adriana gives us great peace of mind by dropping in. She's always terrific with communication and dependability. Thoroughly recommend!
I booked last minute with Kelly, and she was fantastic with Benny. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals and made him feel comfortable right away. She sent pictures and updates throughout, which really gave me peace of mind while I was away. It meant a lot knowing he was in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Rockland stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
