“Brittany was awesome with my dog! He's in between crates right now and can get a little destructive when he's alone, so I had her come sit with him for an hour. She totally went above and beyond — even worked in some crate training and helped him get comfortable stepping into his new crate. He loved her. I'll definitely be calling her again next time I need someone!”

About: I’ll admit it: I can’t resist big eyes and wagging tails! My goal is to spoil your dog rotten while keeping them active and engaged. While we’re out exploring, I stay focused on the fine details—consistency with training, fresh hydration, and following your specific routine perfectly. I’m a great listener and very intuitive to a dog's needs, with years of experience caring for both youngsters and seniors. My schedule is flexible, and I promise the very best care will be bestowed upon your dog every single time

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life, ranging from boxers, doodles, mini schnauzers, King Charles cavaliers, and spaniels. I understand all animals have their own little quirks and preferences! I’m detail oriented and happy to follow instructions to care for your babies and your home like I would my own. I’m a mom so I’m always out running errands. Drop ins are easy for me to accomplish while I’m out doing my normal day to day life. I work from home so I can easily alter my schedule if needed. I work from home so I spend a lot of time with my fur babies! I have a fully fenced yard and my cat and dog are both indoor outdoor animals who can go where they’re please during the day, including under my feet at my desk or walking across my keyboard!

About: With 2 cattle dogs of my own, my love for animals has been consistent throughout my life. My day revolves around making my pups happy and comfortable, I would ensure that same standard to your furry friends. Special meals, walks, fetch, enrichment, and more, catering to your pal is my mission. I am a personal trainer and currently only work online, the only time I am out of the house is for any grocery runs or a workout of my own. I am constantly around for any animals needs as I have 2 very spoiled and needy dogs, and 2 hungry cats of my own. We live in a home in fletcher on 4 acres and a pond with an unfenced yard. Cats have a designated room with 2 litter boxes, lots of toys and food. Doggy day care includes fetch and or walks around the hilly neighborhood, maybe a dip in the pond! Dogs who are not off-leash trained will be on leash any time out doors.

About: I grew up with several pets including dogs, cats, and exotic birds and have a 6 month old blue heeler of my own. I have amateur dog training experience and by request, I can support your dog's training needs while I am looking out for them. No charge! I will make sure your fur baby receives love as though they are my own. They’ll get lots of playtime, walks and I’ll will send photo updates of how they’re doing. I currently work full time from home so it is very easy for me to be attentive and look after your furry loved one in addition to my own 6 month old blue heeler who is very sweet and friendly with other dogs. I work from home Monday through Friday during the day and this leaves a lot of flexibility to go on walks and play together on the trails right on the 10 acres of wooded land. My home is tucked away in a safe location with a lot of space away from busy roads. I live on 10 acres of wooded land and several trails that loop the entire property that allows for a lot of sniffing opportunities, playtime in nature, and staying in a safe environment throughout the day.

About: I've taken care of dogs and cats for at least 15 years, being my own, family/friends, and others. Experienced with small to large breeds dogs with elder care experience including walking/standing restrictions, special diet needs, and medication distribution. I'm currently studying online courses and can be available most hours and days for pet care with little restrictions. My schedule is very flexible at the moment. I treat your home and pets with the utmost respect, treating them as if they were my own. My main goal is to maintain your pet's normal routine to minimize anxiety while you are away.

About: Experienced dog mom, I have many years of dog sitting, walking, and loving under my belt. I genuinely enjoy time spent with animals and love to walk. I have experience with both puppies and senior dogs, as well as many varied breeds. There is no dog too big or too small for me to take care of for you :) I recently sold my business and have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to walk and play with your babies. I’m available same day as needed as well. I’m not available late night. I come to you so your animal feels safest in their own home and environment. I have reliable transportation if you need me to take your pup anywhere as well.

I deliberated for quite a while on a sitter for my guinea pigs and am so glad I chose Julie! I have one outgoing piggie and one shy piggie yet both my guys were comfortable with Julie right away. That made a big impression on me! Both my boys seemed happy and relaxed upon my return. I appreciated how Julie did a great job following the pig care directions I left. Everything was neat and tidy when I arrived home (piggie care can be messy!) and she even washed out my recyclable bags that hold my guinea pig vegetables and hung them to dry. A sweet little bouquet of hand picked flowers greeted me upon my return. What a great first experience with using Rover!

I honestly can’t say enough good things about Luke! He is truly a dog person who goes above and beyond. From the very beginning, he’s been incredibly patient, attentive, and caring with my dog Lobo who generally prefers women over men. But my dog has easily and quickly adjusted to Luke’s visits. What really stands out to me is his ability to read dog behavior and understand what they’re communicating. He takes time to meet them where they are, respect their personality, and boundaries and never rushes him. Having Luke come by and seeing how he’s been with Lobo has been such a relief to me while I’m at work. And when I say he goes above and beyond….. he even rolled my garbage can in after he knew I had a long day of work and was coming home in a rainstorm. I honestly can’t recommend Luke enough. I’m truly grateful to have him to care for my dog! 🐾❤️

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.
