About: As a family of animal lovers, we provide a safe, caring, and fun environment for your pets. My 11-year-old and 15-year-old children absolutely love animals and enjoy helping give them attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. We have a large yard where dogs can safely run and play, and we make sure they get regular walks and exercise. Have had experience with animals, including a senior dog all my life. Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. I work from home and have a flexible schedule (adjust as needed), which allows me to provide frequent potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I do not have a fence but will go out with your dog and take it for a walk. My kids look for dogs to pet and play with everywhere. Exercise is something I am trying to do in the summer, let me watch your dog and take them for a walk.
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life. As a kid, we always had at least 3 dogs! As an adult, I adopted my own dog, a miniature daschund, who lived to be 16.5 years old, and I also had a cocker spaniel, who lived to be 12 years old. So I have plenty of experience with elderly dogs. I now have a 9 month old Labrador retriever. He has so much energy, loves to walk and play in the yard, and would LOVE to meet your furry friend. I work 4 days, and then I have 4 days off, so I’ll be available to help you and your pet out with whatever you need! I work 4 12 hour shifts, and then I’m off for 4 days. I will be available most of the days that I’m off. I may be busy on weekends though. I do daily walks with my own dog and work on training with him whenever I can. And we love to play fetch! I have a fenced yard for the dogs to run and play. I have a baby pool for the hot days, my dog loves water! I also have plenty of toys to play with.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of our doggies! Cindy was right on time every day and spent a lot of time with them. She kept me updated on all the "details". I would highly recommend Cindy to anyone! Thank you again!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals my entire life. I currently have a 3 year old dog named Rosco and prior to him had a 13.5 year old lab. My entire immediate family has dogs in which I spend a lot of time with including having them with us while on vacations, ect. Your dog will be treated like another family member in our home and will have plenty of play time with our pooch and kids!! I work monday-friday dayshift, home by 4pm with all weekends and holidays off. My husband works 12 hour days and has several days off during the week. Someone is currently always home with my 3 year old son so it would be seldom that your pooch would be without someone. I live on 2 acres so there is plenty of space to play outdoors. I am with the dogs while they’re outside or watching since it is not a fenced in yard. I have a very friendly playful pooch at home. I also have 2 children that are used to having dogs and pets so they are good with animals and love having them stay with us. Dogs are free to roam the home, lounge on furniture or beds.
“Phoebe was an amazing help for my puppy! She is dependable and sends lots of pictures. I love that she brought some new toys for our puppy to play with - just like my daughter used to do when babysitting! Phoebe was great at communicating and a really delightful person. She will be my first choice for future needs!”
“Stephanie really goes the extra mile to care for our cats. She takes care of them as well as we do; as if they were her own. 😻😻 We appreciate having her as our sitter so much!”
About: I’ve been taking care of all kinds of pets since I was in middle school. I grew up on a farm so I’m comfortable being around every kind of pet you have (unless it’s a snake😂). I walk dogs, pet sit, clean litter boxes, give treats, train pets, and give lots of love to your babies! I am currently a Personal Trainer at a gym and I have a very easy flexible schedule. I’m very active so if your pets need exercise, I’m your girl! My cat is the king of my home and I believe all animals deserve to be treated with love and care so they feel comforted and happy. I know how it feels being away and someone else watching my pets so I always make sure to send updates and photos of the happy animals to make sure you and your pet are satisfied!

About: I’ve been a shelter volunteer for 5 years, working closely with the dogs most people struggle with the reactive ones, the jumpy ones, the bitey ones, the over-stimulated ones, and the dogs that need real structure and patience to thrive I’m used to reading body language fast and staying calm no matter what’s in front of me. Whether it’s leash pulling, overexcitement, reactivity, or lack of focus. Maybe your dog just needs more work on learning commands and learning obedience I can do that to! let me know what I can do to best help you and your dog I would love to help Pet care is already a major part of my daily and weekly routine. I have 8 birds at home and On top of that, I volunteer at an animal shelter 2–4 days a week, where I work hands on with a wide range of dogs especially high energy dogs and dogs that need extra structure and patience. That experience keeps me consistently involved in reading behavior, handling different temperaments, and staying calm in all situations. When I’m not at the shelter, I plan my schedule around Rover bookings like walks, drop-ins, and training. I make sure each visit has enough time and attention When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow your routine that you provide so the pet stays comfortable and consistent in their environment

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockwood
We needed a pet sitter on very short notice and Kassy quickly reached out for a meet and greet. We were a little nervous as our pups are not well trained especially with strangers but they got along so well with her and by the end of the drop in visit, our pup Gracie was asleep in her lap! This was our first time using Rover and we were so happy to find a sitter that put our minds at ease, knowing that our pups would be well looked after. Will definitely book again! Thank you!
Lauri was wonderful to work with and gave me so much peace of mind ahead of my trip. She really used our time together to get to know my dogs, taking the effort to understand their personalities, routines, and needs. It meant a lot to see how invested she was from the start. She was always punctual and reliable, which made coordinating everything easy and stress-free. I also appreciated how she asked thoughtful, detailed questions about their care—it showed she genuinely wanted to do things the right way and make sure my dogs were comfortable and well taken care of. I felt very confident leaving my dogs with Lauri and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter.
Phoebe was an amazing help for my puppy! She is dependable and sends lots of pictures. I love that she brought some new toys for our puppy to play with - just like my daughter used to do when babysitting! Phoebe was great at communicating and a really delightful person. She will be my first choice for future needs!

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 Rockwood 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 97% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 98% 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.
