“Sophie was wonderful with my puppy! She kept great communication throughout the entire time, sent me the cutest photos every day, and took him on nice walks. He looked so happy and comfortable with her, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She followed all of my instructions very well, and I would definitely trust her to take care of him again. Highly recommend!”
“Diana did an excellent job watching my cat while I was away for a week. I felt very comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend Diana and will be using her again for any trips I take”
About: Hi, I’m Linda — a lifelong animal lover who has lived with dogs for as long as I can remember. I’ve been a dedicated pet owner for over 30 years, sharing my home with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and sizes. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s who I am. I also hold a Bachelor’s Degree in Wildlife Science, which gives me a deeper understanding of animal behavior, safety, and wellbeing. Whether I’m walking a gentle senior or a high‑energy powerhouse, I bring calm confidence and real expertise to every interaction. I currently own a Senior Great Dane and a puppy Labrador. I don’t just love dogs. I am a proud parent of cats, birds, and fish too! I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. I’m attentive, patient, and always focused on safety — especially with large or powerful breeds. I love learning each dog’s quirks, favorite routes, and what makes them feel secure and happy. My goal is simple: you feel at ease, and your dog feels loved, understood, and excited for their next walk. I’m available for evening walks during the week and flexible availability on weekends. Whether you need a dependable after‑work walker or extra help on Saturdays and Sundays, I’m here to keep your pup happy, exercised, and cared for. Weekday Evenings — ideal for after‑work walks, dinner‑time outings, or late‑day exercise Weekend Availability — open for morning, afternoon, and evening walks. My Experience I have 30+ years as a pet owner with dogs of all personalities. Extensive experience with large breeds including Greyhounds, Great Danes, Mastiffs, Labs, Cane Corso, Pit Bulls, and Dogo Argentinos. I spent many years fostering and adopting rescue dogs so I am patient, gentle, and skilled with shy or uncertain pups. I have a B.S. in Wildlife Science that supports my capacity for safe handling and behavior awareness. What I Offer Reliable walks tailored to your dog’s pace and needs. Confident handling of strong or large dogs Gentle care for seniors, rescues, and sensitive pups. Engaging, enrichment‑focused outings. Photo updates and clear communication every time.
“Second time using Lauren. Love the service, I am able to leave Missy and not be worrying about her. Missy enjoys her time with Lauren. Lauren is so patient and understanding. Lauren understands my need for a leaving routine for my dog with separation anxiety. She has helped Missy deal with my need to leave her all day”
“Raya is amazing!!! She went above and beyond to take care of Oliver and Mo while I was gone! She gave them spa treatments, took them on walks, kept the house clean, and helped my pup overcome some fears of the nail clipper! She provided excellent updates and adorable pics of her cuddling my boys- they clearly loved her!! I would absolutely recommend Raya to anyone! ❤️”
“Brandy was responsive, caring and attentive. I applaud her efforts getting to know our cat. Her reports are genuine and detailed. We appreciate the love of animals she has that makes her such a responsible petsitter. We highly recommend requesting her for your next vacay.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for awhile now maybe around 8 years and I have my own dog that is 4 years old and he’s really about medium size I am very capable of taking care and managing the time needed to take care of a dog.

My class schedule varies day to day, but my late afternoon to evening is free, and most of my classes are in the morning! I will always make an effort to work things out! I socialize on the weekends, but will always be able to put time aside! I can walk dogs in neighborhoods or parks, I also can play and chill with your baby and take them out to play and go potty. I will also follow your feeding schedule! My care is flexible depending on what you need!
“Victoria is excellent! It was the first time I needed to leave my cat at home and I was nervous about finding the right support. Victoria provided me with clarity, daily updates, commitment, friendship and kindness. Sakura (my cat) was in good hands, thanks to Victoria!”
About: I have extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs of all sizes, breeds, and ages! I’m also comfortable administering medications and handling any accidents or messes that may happen. As a pet caregiver, my top priorities are making sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and loved while maintaining open and reliable communication with their owners. I look forward to giving your pets the same care and attention I’d give my own! Pet care fits well into my weekly schedule! I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable care. I’m available before and after work on Mondays and Thursdays (8:30 AM–5:00 PM), and on Tuesdays and Wednesdays I finish work at 12:30 PM, leaving the rest of the day available for walks, drop-in visits, or extended care. I also only work one Friday each month, making most Fridays completely open. I’m committed to being dependable and ensuring your pet receives the attention, care, and love they deserve! When caring for your pet in your home, I will always follow your routine and respect your wishes. I’ll provide the care, attention, exercise, and any medications your pet needs while keeping your home clean, secure, and treated with the utmost respect. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.
“Hanna is great and I will definitely be a repeat client! Our kitties were well taken care of, even though they are both picky and can be catty, Hanna kept them happy! We really appreciate the care and continuous updates and pics/vids of our kitties. I would give more stars if I could! 💕”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was a child as I grew up in a house hold with animals. I pretty regularly dog sit for family and friends. I have experience with little dogs medium dogs and large dogs. I have semi decent skill with training dogs but nothing crazy. I am familiar with senior care and ensuring they get burn energy. Im currently working part time so I have plenty of time to hang with any pups and make sure they get all the love and attention needed as well as plenty of outside time! Depending on what your home has, fence, electric fence, shock collars, leashes I make sure I’m always watching and they they stay safe. Head on a swivel, I treat pets safety the same way I treat child safety as your pets are your babies.
“Abbey did a great job caring for our Dog Rocky and Cat Klohe. She came to our home to meet our pets prior to the scheduled dates. She was very responsive and on time. I would recommend Abby to anyone that needs pet sitting.”
“We have a rescue dog who doesn’t warm up to many people, and I could tell from the pictures she uploaded that my dog loves her. 100% recommend and would book Kayla again!”
About: I have a love for all animals growing up on a farm and would love to help out in my neighborhood with any needs, I'm comfortable with any pet of any size.

“Chiara was absolutely fantastic with our baby! Very timely visits, amazing photos, and thorough updates! Definitely will be using her services again when we go out of town!”
About: I LOVE dogs and cats! Growing up, my family always had big dogs and fluffy cats around the house; so throughout my life I have gained experience caring for puppies and kittens all the way up to seniors. I adore dogs of all sizes, but big dogs will always have a special place in my heart. We owned a Rottie/Lab mix, a Great Dane, an English Mastiff, Boxer, and various Doodle breeds. We also had 3 Ragdoll cats. I currently have 3 Domestic Short and Long haired cats of my own with my fiancé and I love them dearly; but I really miss having a dog around the house. Helping people care for pets on here seemed like the perfect way to help me hang with pups! I frequently assist my friends and family with pet sitting, dog walking, and caring for their animals while they are away. Outside of animals, I work for The Department of State as a Legal Assistant and sit for 8 hours a day at a desk. Taking a dog on a nice walk or having a play session with pets sounds like a very pleasant way for me spend my time after sitting in an office all day. I also love to read, cook/bake, do yoga, play video games, and play softball on my women’s community team! I’m currently working a full time office job from 7:30am to 4:00pm, so I can be available on weekdays any time after 4:30pm or early in the morning . I can be available anytime on weekends with enough notice to plan. As much as I would love to help people board their pets, I can’t given the size of my apartment. My home is just for me and my cats :)
“Morgan was fantastic while watching our 2 pugs. She Kept me updated with information as well as multiple pictures while we were away. Highly recommend you book her if considering a sitter.”

Beth is wonderful!! This is our second time having her over and she takes great care of our animals. Our female dog is very shy with strangers and Beth did amazing helping her warm up, and our cat who normally hides from new people completely wanted pets and attention from Beth. She went above what was asked and made sure all our animals were happy and comfortable while we were away. We appreciate her so much!!
Victoria is excellent! It was the first time I needed to leave my cat at home and I was nervous about finding the right support. Victoria provided me with clarity, daily updates, commitment, friendship and kindness. Sakura (my cat) was in good hands, thanks to Victoria!

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.
