“I always feel most comfortable when Stephanie is watching our pups! They’ve gotten to know her well and I know they’re being well taken care of when we’re away. Would highly recommend her!”
“Brandi, per usual, did a great job with my English bulldogs while I was away! She is always so reliable and had the responsibility of giving one of my dogs meds and eye drops following a surgery - she did a wonderful job and I know I can trust her with any medical needs of my boys that need attention if it coincides with a trip!”
About: I’m dependable, loving, and attentive, treating every pet like my own. I’m patient with puppies, gentle with seniors, and dedicated to keeping every pet happy, comfortable, safe, and cared for. I work mostly nights so I will be able to walk or take care of animals all throughout the day! I can do anything before 3! I take my cats very seriously, if there is any sign of anything I’m immediately take them to the vet, I feed them twice a day with a mixture of wet and dry food and some probiotics! And I play with them for at least an hour a day!
“Emma watched Ava for two weeks while we were out of the country. I am so happy we had her as our sitter!! She was extremely reliable and timely and I could tell truly has a passion for animals. She is so sweet and took great care of our girl - and I would rebook her again in a heartbeat!”
About: I have always had a dog growing up, and I enjoy the loyalty, love, and affection they show to the people they trust. I want to take my love and care for my pets and help you with the needs of your pets! As of now I have a pretty flexible schedule, but I just moved here from Alabama so when I start working my availability will change. When caring for you pets in you home I will follow any routines you may have with your pets, and on walks I will ensure they are in a safe area.
About: I love animals—everywhere I go I am always the one who finds myself gravitating towards any dog around. I am responsible, outgoing, and fully engaged in any commitment I make, your pet included! I love outdoor activity so any play time with the pups is a bonus. As long as instructions are provided, I am willing to do anything to care for your animal. I am willing to drive your animal to dog parks, play areas, etc. and even take to owner-approved play dates! Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to hearing from you! I work from home full-time as a paralegal. I am able to do drop-ins or walks 2-3 times throughout the work day, and after work any time. I can also stay at home for most of the day on weekdays with your pet! I am always striving to make sure your pet has the best time possible while you are away. Ensuring their safety and overall happiness is very important to me!
About: I’ve taken care of pets (dogs, cats, geckos) big and small since I was young. I absolutely love nothing more than walking in to the house and getting such a warm (and sometimes slobbery) greeting. Traveling with pets can be hard, so let me spoil your fur babies so you can enjoy yourself! I currently work in a restaurant so I’m pretty flexible Monday-Thursday. When I do work, it’s not until 4 pm so I’m available all day before that and I’m off anywhere between 10 pm and midnight. I have tons of free time for drop in visits, and can house sit with no problems as well as long as me going to work at 4 pm into the night is okay. I am more than happy to stay in your home while you’re gone to make sure your fur babies have constant love and affection while you’re gone! I have no problem letting them outside throughout the day, going on walks, feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, giving them pets, etc. I can also do numerous drop in visits if that works better, offering all the same services! I have my own pets at my house so I unfortunately can’t bring them here, but I’d be more than happy to come to your home!
“Tara is great! I have been a Veterinary Technician for 27 years so I am extra diligent when it comes to selecting petsitters for my 2 kitties, especially because one of them requires a chronic medication. Tara checked all the boxes and more! The questions she asked during our meet & greet were spot on and my kitties came out to meet her immediately. They are usually shy with strangers but not when it came to meeting Tara, which spoke volumes for me! While I was away she sent me a report card & very cute pics everyday. I will definitely be a repeat client. Thank you so much Tara for giving me peace of mind while on vacation!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy spending time caring for pets of all kinds. I grew up in Ohio where I was active in 4H so I was taking care of animals daily.

Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just extra attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands. I look forward to meeting you and your pet! I work nightshift as a nurse 2 days a week. I have a lot of free time and enjoy being active. My dog gets walked multiple times a day. I have one golden retriever who loves other dogs! We are in a nice quiet area in an apartment. I love to go on walks to head over to the dog park!

About: Growing up with family pets taught me what it takes to care for an animal at every stage of life. While I love snuggling with cats on the couch or taking dogs for a walk in the park, I also understand the work involved in keeping them happy and healthy. I have firsthand experience raising puppies, including waking up every few hours for middle-of-the-night potty training. I also know how to gently care for senior dogs, like successfully hiding medication in a piece of cheese. Whether your pet needs high-energy supervision or patient elder care, I will treat them with the exact same dedication I give my own family pets. I work part-time and have a highly flexible schedule, so pet care easily fits into my week. For the most part, my days and nights are wide open, allowing me to be present, attentive, and flexible for whatever your pet needs. This means I can easily accommodate mid-day walks, frequent potty breaks, or just provide plenty of company and couch snuggles. My focus is entirely on caring for your pets where they feel safest, which is right in their own home. Whether I am house-sitting overnight or coming by for drop-in visits and walks, my top priority is keeping your pet's normal routine exactly as it is to prevent any stress. During my stays or visits I make sure they are fed on time, always have fresh water, and get plenty of potty breaks. I love taking dogs out for walks to burn off energy, but I'm just as happy spending quality time cuddling on the couch if they prefer to relax. I am highly respectful of your home, extremely tidy, and always double-check that all doors and gates are securely locked to keep your pets safe and sound.
About: Hi there! I'm Drew, a lifelong animal lover with a soft spot for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities.

I bring the same level of care, attentiveness, and love to every pup as if they were my own. I work from home so have the flexibility to come and go throughout the day. I have a dog park at my apartment complex if your dog is okay to play with others! I will be sure to care for your dog and help keep them in their routine by walking when needed, going for joyful walks, and providing food/snacks when allowed.

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.
