“Charla was amazing with Kirby! We have an 8 year old disabled dog that has trouble walking, so we are always a little nervous leaving her with someone new. Charla made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, sent us photos, and took such good care of her. It was clear that Kirby had a good time. We are so thankful we found Charla. It meant a lot to know Kirby was safe and cared for while we were on our trip. We would absolutely book with her again!”
About: Lifelong animal caretaker with 4+ years being completed in dog daycare/boarding/rescue, plus hands-on doodle grooming experience. Experienced caring for animals of all shapes, temperaments and breeds including: dogs, cats, fish, hamsters, and Guinea pigs. Received training in dog behaviors and animal CPR and first aid. My schedule is currently very flexible, with open availability Monday through Friday and weekends as needed. I’m happy to work full-time or part-time and coordinate with each family’s schedule and care needs. I do reserve two days off each week to recharge and have a few planned trips throughout the year. I provide a calm, loving home environment where I care for only 1–2 dogs at a time, and they must be from the same family. Dogs must be house-trained and comfortable in a carpeted family home. Dogs stay exclusively on the first floor, with no stairs to navigate, making the space comfortable for dogs with limited mobility. There are comfortable dog beds throughout the living room, along with plenty of space to relax. We’re located in a quiet neighborhood at the end of a cul-de-sac with a large, unfenced yard. Dogs are always supervised outside and use a long lead for safety. Depending on their comfort level and needs, we can enjoy walks on the nearby Hogback Trail or explore the Roxborough area. If your dog prefers to stay home, we’re happy to keep things cozy with plenty of indoor time. Fresh water is always available, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal feeding schedule and administer medications as needed. My goal is to make their stay feel safe, comfortable, and as close to their normal routine as possible.
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I'm a huge animal lover and I promise to love and spoil your pups as if they were my own! I will hang out at home with your pups! Lot's of play time, love and affection. We can go on walks if it's a nice day, or just snuggle on the couch if that's what they like! I have a 6 foot fenced backyard and two friendly Goldendoodles to keep your fur baby company! I can also crate your pup if that's what you would like.
“We have been extremely impressed with Matt so far! He has been helping us with our pup for an extended period of time and he has been nothing but great. He’s consistently on time, communicative, and loving to our fur babies! We highly recommend him”
About: I’ve been taking care of fur babies for about 5 years! I’m new to the rover community but want to expand my love for animals! I am comfortable around all dogs/cats and am willing to learn how to best fulfill your pets needs! When I come to take care of your four legged buddy, I promise to dedicate my time to nurture, adore, and create enjoyable experiences for them. My roommates have two pups - an English cream retriever named Soph and a chocolate lab named Tucker who are equal parts sweet as they are energetic! I’m currently working full time and am available for drop ins or house sittings when needed! My typical working hours are 8:45-4:30 M-F! I am also flexible and can accommodate last minute bookings! When in your home, I would love to create a nurturing and playful environment for your fur babies as well as continue your daily routine to keep your furry one as comfortable and happy as possible!
About: I’m a pet owner myself and have never not had a dog or cat in my home. I have cared for young and old, and all temperaments. I’m a mom of three who is looking to care for pets in my spare time while they are in school or at summer camp. I will safety and comfort at all times. I know how important it is to know your pets are being cared for as their owners would and I intend to do just that.
“Katherine is a phenomenal pet sitter! She went above and beyond giving our rabbits the best care! She was so communicative throughout our trip. The love and attention she showed our animals gave me so much comfort while away. Definitely would recommend!!!”
“Meredith was amazing with Bandit and made quick friends! She did a great job taking care of the plants and garbage as well, on top of being available for a week-long last-minute reservation. The fact that she's a vet tech is just the icing on the cake that put me completely at ease during my travel. Would absolutely recommend her services elsewhere! 🙂”
About: I’ve pet sit and cared for small and large breed dogs while assisting a dog groomer, I own the two most pampered cats in the world, and I’ve loved every second! I look forward to caring for your furry families! I’m currently transitioning into a less hectic work routine and love walking! This is something I love to do so it makes perfect sense, and I would love to meet as many animals as possible in my life. I administer an inhaler treatment to my cat daily, provide wet food, play, clean environments and litter boxes, and occasionally cook food to order for them. I have experience administering care (bandages, medication) to both cats and dogs.
About: I’ve grown up with pets and have appreciated the bonds we form with them. I don’t trust people who don’t like animals! I’m not shy of big dogs or multiple cats, unusual routines or requests, and appreciate any questions or feedback you may have! I’m currently working only as a dog walker and pet sitter. I appreciate filling my calendar ahead especially with the coming holidays. Please don’t be shy about asking for future dates as they go fast! I typically don’t leave once I’m at a clients home with their animals. I’ll bring or order groceries for extended stays to avoid leaving your animals alone and flexible with routines and requests. I don’t shy away from responsibilities like cleaning up after the pets.
“Audrey was an amazing! She worked with our four dogs to let them out during the families wedding weekend. She came twice a day, and followed feeding directions great! Very patient with the stressed bride and mother of bride. She sent photos and kept us updated the entire time!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life including my own. I also have four years of professional pet-sitting experience in Florida while attending college. This experience has taught me how to care for pets responsibly, understand their individual needs, and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily and weekly routine as I am flexible in my daily work schedule, whether it’s working from home or being in office for small amount of time. In my clients home I’ll be able to care and provide for your pet in any way possible, being in their own home I’ll be able to accommodate to the pets wants and needs.
“Jordan took great care of our cat during our trip and was a pleasure to meet. She followed every instruction perfectly, spent quality time with Professor, and kept in constant contact. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again!”
“Kalea was prompt, a great communicator, and immediately formed a connection with our cat - all super appreciated, but we are especially thankful that she was available over the holidays. We wouldn’t hesitate to ask Kalea to look after our cat again!”
About: I’ve always been my friend’s go-to petsitter. So decided to make it my job. I’m available 24/7. Any last minute requests are welcome, no problem. My schedule is flexible! I currently work a “hybrid” job with mostly working from home schedule. I always work around my own dog’s schedule and dog-sitting. Your best friend will be my priority. Your dog will be treated as if they were my dog too. Which is getting lots of walks, play time, natural snacks, pets, and naps
About: I have lifelong experience from having my own dogs and cats, so i have a good understanding of their needs at all stages of life. I’ve worked with puppies and can help with basic training. I’m comfortable caring for senior pets, ensuring they receive the extra attention and gentle care they need. I typically have a pretty flexible schedule with plenty of free time to dedicate to your pets. This allows me to give them the attention, care, and companionship they need I take care of my pets by following their feeding routines, providing exercise, and offering companionship. Whether at my home or yours, I make sure to create a safe and comfortable space for them. I can send pictures of your pet or other updates, so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Roxborough Park
Samantha was awesome! I felt completely comfortable knowing Baylee was in such good hands. Samantha was caring, attentive, and kept me updated while I was away, which gave me total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely loves dogs and treated B like her own. I came home to a happy, well-loved pup! I would definitely have Samantha watch Baylee again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring dog sitter.
Charla was amazing with Kirby! We have an 8 year old disabled dog that has trouble walking, so we are always a little nervous leaving her with someone new. Charla made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She kept us updated, sent us photos, and took such good care of her. It was clear that Kirby had a good time. We are so thankful we found Charla. It meant a lot to know Kirby was safe and cared for while we were on our trip. We would absolutely book with her again!
Brianna continues to be the best dog sitter I could ever ask for. From the moment she started caring for my pups, I knew we had found someone truly special. She’s dependable, attentive, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. One of my favorite things she does are the report cards—honestly, they’re the highlight of my day. They’re not just informative, but genuinely entertaining and full of personality. They always make me smile and give me such peace of mind knowing my pups are happy, safe, and well cared for. It’s rare to find someone you trust completely with your pet, and Brianna has exceeded every expectation. I’m so grateful for the care, love, and consistency she brings. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.

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.
