“Kirstin did a great job checking in on our extra shy kitty! Consistent communication and provided nice photo updates during each check-in. I appreciated her notes after each visit and our "meet and greet" before the first visit.”
About: I’ve always had family dogs and cats! Always helped with families pets, volunteered at animal shelters, and have used other walk/sitting apps before. Never met an animal I didn’t love! Full time student at UNMC, looking for part time care. Available for walks mostly in the evenings and on weekends, and available for sitting most of the time! I will look after your pets as if they were my own! I will treat each and every pet with respect and acknowledge their specific needs!
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. Owning my own for the past 3 years. I have gone through 2 years of dog training to be the best pet parent I can be and would now like to use my skills to help others. I am a full time teacher during the day. At night I enjoy spending time at home, walking if it is nice weather, and cuddling with my furry friends. I live in an apartment setting, so safety is my utmost priority. I ensure that the dogs I care for are on a leash, under my supervision at all times outside. Indoors we keep all doors shut to eliminate any unwanted messes.
“Maria was absolutely fantastic with my pups, and she was super patient with my more skittish/testy dog, who I know can be a lot to handle for most people. She was absolutely OK with giving my nugget her medication (which had just been prescribed a few days prior to her visit), and did an absolutely excellent job doing so! I would highly recommend booking Maria!”
About: dogs are very important to me as i have been around them my entire life. i currently work at a dog kennel and as much as i enjoy cleaning up after and taking care of those dogs, i would love to have the opportunity to take care of more dogs outside of the kennel environment. my own dog is so very special to me. when i take him back to visit my parents, we have a total of four dogs running around! the smallest is around 10lbs and the biggest is around 85lbs, needless to say it’s crazy and fun! i currently work part time so i am very flexible with my schedule. i am happy to accommodate as much as i can to fit whatever needs you may have. i live in an apartment so as of now, i am not able to dog sit at my home. however, i am more than happy to commute to your residence to treat your dog as if they were my own. dogs have unique personalities and i am capable of accommodating special requests to make sure your dog is as comfortable and safe with me as possible.
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I started watching over and caring for friends and family’s’ dogs since I was 10. Dogs are my all time fav and I can’t wait to care for yours! I am currently a full-time college students, also involved in extracurriculars but still have plenty of time to care your pups! Im available for walks MWF from 7am-10am; TTh from 7am-1pm.

“Our dog is so happy that we found Deanna. He is hoping she’ll play fetch again with him again before long. Great job and highly recommend. Deanna even brought treats for us and our dog. So sweet!”
About: I have worked at a veterinary clinic as a kennel assistant, at a doggy daycare as park staff, and at a wildlife rehab as seasonal staff. These jobs have required me to monitor behavior and symptoms to ensure the health and safety of all involved. I work part time, leaving me with much time for looking after animals. I am off on weekends and am looking for something full-filling to fill that time. My shifts at my job are usually 6 hours but no more than 8. In high school, I watched many pets in my hometown while their families were away. Lists and rules are very important to me so that I know exactly what is expected and how your furry family member would have the best experience.
About: I've cared for dogs on and off since high school, and now as a college student with a golden doodle of my own, I know how important companionship is for our furry friends. My roommate also has a golden doodle, and when she's away, my pup really misses having a friend. I started pet sitting to give her more social time and to meet new pups! I also love to walk and have extra free time since I'm taking low credit hours. Whether your pet needs company or solo care, I'm happy to provide a loving and flexible experience! I have a very flexible schedule due to my college classes, on most days my dogs aren't alone for longer than an hour or two, I would treat your dog the same. Every dog needs their person and I would love to be that stand in! I will care for the pets the way you need me to. Normally, we spend lots of time in our backyard playing, we take cuddle naps, we go on walks for about an hour a day (more when we get bored), and lots of fetch!
About: I have had cats and dogs as a child. I have had my own cat kids for 22+ years! All of them were adopted. We had 4 cats for a while. They all had such different personalities which makes it fun! I have also done drop in visits to take care of dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs! I work full-time so I am available on weekends. I am available during the week- early mornings or late afternoons or evenings to come over and take care of your pet. I offer services in a client's home (not my own) . I am very happy to come to your home to feed, water and play with your pet!
“Liliana did a great job of taking care of my cats: cleaning their litter boxes, giving them fresh water in clean bowls every day, and I know the cats appreciated the food and attention. She’s a caring and trustworthy person. So grateful.”
“Amy did such a great job taking care of our pets. Our cats and dog have some separation anxiety issues, but they had no issues thanks to Amy’s attentive visits. She was prompt, and followed all of our small silly wishes. We look forward to using her services again.”
“Have now used Tara several times to watch Buddy. She has done a fantastic job each time!! It is such a huge relief to know I have someone so great looking after my little guy when I am away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs & cats since I was in high school. House sitting and pet sitting is one of my favorite ways to make money. I love animals, I also enjoy going for a walk so having a dog with me makes me feel more relaxed & comfortable. Cats I just enjoy being around and seeing the crazy little behavior. Overall animals mean so much too me & I would be so grateful to be able to take care of your babies ❤️ I am currently a college student at the University of Nebraska Lincoln. I have Fridays off so I’ll be able to spend a lot of the day with the animals. Monday through Thursday I have classes however I only have two classes on Monday and Wednesday and three classes on Thursday so I’ll be able to check on the animals throughout the day and also be there at night with them. when I decide to housesit or animal sit for a client. The first thing I asked them to do is to write everything down that I need to do on a day-to-day basis on a piece of paper and leave it on the kitchen table so I make sure I’m doing everything I can for the animals. I can take the animals on walks if that’s what they enjoy if the animals tend to be more elderly, I can just spend time with them make sure they’re getting their meds whatever you guys have a preference of me doing I can do it to the best of my ability.
About: I've taken care of pets since I was in high school- including training dogs, house sitting, walking, feeding and playing. I love making shy dogs feel welcome and playful dogs feel loved I currently operate my own start up business, so I have time during the week, Monday through Friday, to take care of any pets in need. I can easily build trust with animals. I have patience and a willing heart to take care of dogs at their own pace. I am willing to follow any routines that the dog is used to to build trust and safety within the environment.
About: I love animals, particularly cats. I’m patient but firm. I can ignore the incessant whines for excessive amounts of food. I am comfortable administering medications and picking up messes. Your fur baby is safe with me! I’m a student in college. I am free most afternoons and evenings and can spend the night at your house or apartment. Unfortunately, bringing the animals to my apartment is not an option. I’ve got plenty of free time and am excited to take care of your animal! I can not take animals at my apartment.

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.
