“EJ was an excellent dog sitter for our two pups. She offered great suggestions for Buddy’s separation anxiety. She was prompt and very professional and my furkids really liked her. A great person to call if you need a sitter for your pups.”

About: This is the first year I started pet watching and I have truly enjoyed every second of it. I love to work with all types of animals and plan on adopting a dachshund in the future. I'm an online college student so I can fit into what ever schedule is needed of me. My schedule is 24/7 as long as I don't have any plans or other pets to sit. I do not have any pets and my house is very relaxed as I live with only my grandmother. I willing to do whatever works best for you and your pet.

About: I will take your dog or dogs on long walks and let them explore their environment. I am available after 3 and depending on where you are, I can do mornings as well. I will not leave any mess behind for your neighbors to see. I will make sure your dog gets good exercise on each and every walk. I do not mind dogs that love to explore everything around them and want to see and smell everything they come across. I can walk multiple dogs at a time if you have more than one dog. i will try and make your dogs walk a good experience and a walk that stimulates them and hopefully, along the way, they are able to relieve themselves while we are outside!

About: I have had rescues dogs and cats all my life. I have administered medicine, cared for both puppies and senior dogs. I understand the importance of establishing trust with them. I work from home so I am always around during the day and can accommodate as many potty and zoomie breaks as needed! I have a very flexible schedule so I can work around your schedule needs. Just let me know your care preference - walking, play time or just loving on your fur baby! I currently have a rescue that needs special care... he is diabetic and is not fond of hot afternoons so his schedule is tailored to both the weather and his needs!

About: We had a yorkiepoo for 15 1/2 years. I don't want one of my own right now, can't go thru that loss again, it was awful. I also have two daughters, family and friends in Ohio, we travel a lot and don’t want to be tied down with a dog of our own. I get my “fix” by watching others dogs. Due to a family member allergies, I can not board a dog at my home that sheds. We moved here from Ohio in 2021. I am not working and would love to take care, play or walk your fur baby or babies. We live in a sub division with sidewalks and walking trails for your dog. Small yard but no fence. Your dog will get lots of love.

“Amanda is awesome! I just moved to the area and was stressing to find last minute care after a sitter cancelled. She arrived promptly to the meet and greet where my cat gave her a tail bump immediately. Amanda dropped by 2x day for feed/play/litterbox and left detailed cards with the cutest photo updates. She also left things SO tidy around the house- thank you! I am so happy to have found her and plan on booking her again.”

About: I have a cat Liam who I care for and I help my family care for their cats and dogs as well. I have pet sit/house sit for 3 years now. I'm consistent with my check ups and walkings/feedings. I stick to a schedule all the time. I'm also always all over the areas from Venice to Riverview, I can always do drop by, a quick walk. I'm flexible with my schedule to fit your pets needs, and any last minute bookings! I'm currently working at 2 jobs and still have free time for your pets! I work as a house cleaner and receptionist, I love staying active and just hanging out with animals. My desk job gives me 3-5 hours of an extended break Thu-Sunday. Outside of that I am I clean homes and offices around the Venice, Sarasota, and Bradenton Area. My family and I have 3 cats, Liam, Munchkin, and Sunni. We also have a chihuahua mixed, shes our oldest. I keep our pets on a feeding schedule and in charge of food and keeping it stocked. I am very strick about their feeding schedule and food quality. Before I even became a cat parent I did extensive research just trying to find the best quality and affordable food, litter, toys. I've always wanted the best for them and treat them as an baby. Our cats also love the outdoors so I also walk them, harnessed or off but they well enough to stay close when we walk. I've also taught Liam a few tricks for treats (he'll do almost anything for treats).

“Jacqueline is absolutely amazing! I had her do drop-in visits for my pets while I was out of town for a weekend, and she did such a great job. She always sent me plenty of pictures during her visits, and I could tell from the photos that my pets were happy and comfortable with her. When I got home, everyone was happy and clearly well taken care of. It was really nice being able to enjoy my trip and know that my pets were in good hands. I would definitely recommend Jacqueline, and she will for sure be my go-to sitter for future trips!”

About: Hi! My name is Natalie, I’ve been an animal lover since I was basically born. I am currently looking for weekend opportunities just to make some extra money to pay off some debt. I was always raised with different pets like cats, dogs, turtles, and fish, you name it! I truly treat every animal as my child and I am very excited to start this journey with Rover. I am experienced with dogs and cats of all ages from bottle fed to medications. I currently have my rescue baby (dog) Mia, who is 8 years old And was adopted at 1 month. She gets along well with other dogs and people. If you’d like to know more about me don’t feel shy to ask ! I am available to work weekends but can be flexible if needed ! I work from home and have a baby who loves animals ! I care for pets with the same level of attention and love I would give my own. Whether it’s in my home or a client’s, I make sure their routines are followed closely—this includes feeding times, walking schedules, playtime, and any specific instructions like medication or grooming needs. I pay close attention to their behavior and body language to ensure they’re comfortable, happy, and healthy.

About: My life-long passion for animals led me to the wonderful world of pet sitting. As a dedicated cat lover, I know how important it is to trust someone with your family. I offer personalized drop-in visits and house sitting, ensuring your cat feels cozy, safe, and happy in their own space while you're away. I provide daily photo updates and am experienced with special diets and medications. I work from home so I have flexibility to incorporate plenty of play time breaks as well as cuddles throughout the day. I enjoy keeping pets fully engaged and active as much as possible! I am focused on maintaining a safe, comfortable environment for your pet either at your home or mine. I make sure the floors are kept free of any objects which could be a hazard and that pets are in a safely confined area.

Ken did a great job with our Rottweiler Sofia. We were gone for several days. He did well encouraging her to eat. He was on time for the drop in visits, provided a picture of a happy girl, and gave helpful feedback. Ken is kind and gentle.

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 .

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 , 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 .

sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
