“Joanna did an amazing job with our dog, Ottis. He can be a handful and gets over excited but she was able to calm him down and manage his behavior beautifully. I was so happy to receive the well written reports & see the wonderful pictures of my boy. This was my first time using Rover and not a kennel - so I am delighted to highly recommend both Rover services & Joanna as a skilled dog sitter. Thank you again Joanna, job well done. This gave me peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away from home.”
About: I’ve taken care of my community’s pets since I was 17. I’ve cared for almost all kinds of pets. Cats, dogs, birds, lizards, you name it! I always try to go the extra mile so that pet parents not only come home to a happy, healthy pet; but a clean and well-cared for home! I am a middle school band director who works 7-3 most days. However, I can go before and after school care and I can spend nights! My kittens get fed twice a day, they get a new toy once a month and go to the vet once a month! They also have their litter box scooped every night and cleaned once a week. They even sleep in the bed with me. If I’m caring for dogs, they go on at least 3 walks a day of varying length (depending on the dog). I frequently watch a 13 year old pug who can’t stay out very long, so he goes on 3, 10-minute walks a day. However, if your dog has the endurance to go on a longer walk/run with me - I’ll take them up to 3 miles!
“Jesse does a great job of keeping the animals on schedule and I was so relaxed all day knowing he was coming by to check on them twice while we were at a ball game in Athens.”
About: I have provided pet care for dogs & cats since the 1980s. I have also cared for my pets over my lifetime: dogs, cats, rabbits,& birds. I also have experience with horses, llamas, pigs, goats, sheep, monkeys & lemurs. But I do NOT do spiders or snakes. Besides caring for my 3 rescue pups, I also run my own business, so my schedule is usually somewhat flexible. But my calendar books up quickly. I currently do drop-in visits at your home. I have my own transportation. Besides keeping to your pets feeding schedule, I am happy to spend time with them, if they're not afraid of new people. And I'm happy to walk dogs that are 40 lbs or less.
“Laycie did a great job taking care of the outdoor cats, including extra food for a new momma. She also watered plants (we're in a hot, dry spell), which I'm grateful for. Will definitely book her again!”
“Beverly was amazing with our two cats. She gave updates and photos each visit. It was nice to come home to the fur babies being well fed, clean, and happy. Would definitely recommend her for any of your pet needs!”
“Kirsten was a great find when I needed someone to watch my special needs dachshund while he stayed with my brother. He really enjoyed spending time with her and she was sensitive to his needs. Would absolutely rebook with Kirsten the next time I'm in the Covington area!”
About: I had pets as a child. As an adult we became a dog family 10 years ago. He’s stubborn and way smarter than I am. I’ve learned so much loving on our Smitty. I’m patient and love to see their personalities shine. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I would be happy to discuss your personal needs and work that into my day. I walk my dogs on leash on our property. For you I’d do what your pet is accustomed to. I’m very flexible and able to work with what works for you best.
“Alexis was awesome! One of my pups is a diabetic and it was a huge relief to find someone with the knowledge and ability to care for him and give him his shot of insulin. Highly recommend Alexis!”
About: All my life I was raised to care for animals. I developed a love for them like no other at a very young age. So, when I decided to leave a normal 9-5 job I stumbled across Rover and found my passion. I absolutely adore caring for animals and when I care for yours I will make sure that they are loved and cared for as I would love and care for my own. After my children moved out my schedule became open. I am available at any time to care for your fur babies and am more than happy to do so. When it comes to having a stranger in your home I can understand the uncertainty that comes with. I am here to ensure that you feel comfortable when you need to leave not only your house but your animals. We will have complete open communication at all times and I will make sure to follow all rules set.
About: I’ve loved animals ever since i was young. From giving puppies baths to taking them on walks, animals have always been a huge part of my life.. and i would love to take care of yours<3 I’m currently at home all week… i have extra time on my hands and would love to spend it with animals and that could be your dog or cat! I have a small fenced backyard and a quiet community that is great for walks:) we also have a screened in back porch that our cat loves to lounge in..
“Savanna was great! My regular sitter had an emergency and Savanna really helped me out. She was prompt and kind in all her communication. She was wonderful with my puppy Louie and I would 100% hire her again. Definitely recommend!”
About: I got my dog when I was 13 and she was the best thing that happened to me. She was the most loving and caring dog I ever met but lost her to a serious illness and I just love to give out my heart to animals and would love to spend some time with your animals. I am a stay at home mom and the moment. Son is five and in kindergarten and he loves animals just as much as I do but because I’m not completely over losing my dog I haven’t been able to get him a dog for himself. I’m home and have a dog park right now the road from me so keeping dogs a breeze. I always have an eye on the animals. Never feed food other then the kind given. Nothing in the rooms that they would stay in that could hurt them.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years, and taking care of pets has always been something I genuinely love. From a young age, I’ve had experience caring for animals and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. I’m dependable, attentive, and treat every pet like they’re my own. During drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you leave for me. I know every animal has their own personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are in good hands while you’re away Pet care fits easily into my weekly routine. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care Thursday through Monday, including weekends. I’m not available on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, but I can dedicate plenty of time on my available days to making sure each pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they need. I’m dependable and happy to work around each pet’s individual routine and schedule. I care for every pet as if they were my own. In a client’s home, I follow their normal routine and instructions closely, making sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I’m respectful of their home and always make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and comfort level so they feel safe and happy while their owner is away.
About: I’ve always been that person who immediately notices the dog before the humans (respectfully 😂). I genuinely love animals and take caring for them seriously. Whether your pet is full of zoomies, prefers a slow stroll, or just wants someone to sit nearby while they judge me from across the room (looking at you, cats), I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m reliable, patient, detail-oriented, and I’ll stick to your pet’s routine because I know consistency matters. Expect lots of updates, cute pictures, and the occasional message telling you your dog made a new best friend (me). I’m currently a PhD student, so my schedule has flexibility throughout the week. Pet care is honestly one of my favorite ways to step away from my computer, get outside, and spend time with some furry company. I’ll always communicate clearly, arrive when I say I will, and make sure your pet gets the attention they deserve. If your pet is in my care, they’re my priority. I’ll carefully follow your instructions, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they stay safe and comfortable. I know leaving your pet with someone else can feel nerve-racking, so I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can actually enjoy your time away instead of wondering how your fur baby is doing.
“She did an excellent job. This was our first time using a service of this nature - so glad it went well. Looking forward to reaching out to Kaitlyn in the future to care for our pets needs. I like that she was close by. And the format via rover - checking and time management- pictures were sent - really nice to get that kind of interaction.”
“Tyler did a wonderful job caring for our kitties. I had set up an automatic feeder to give the cats dry food (Tyler was giving them wet food at his visits) and the cats toppled it and knocked it over. The next day, they clawed into the sealed bag of food I’d left out. Both times, Tyler graciously cleaned it up and helped me devise a way to keep the cats from doing it again. He checked in daily and sent occasional photos and videos, which my kids loved. I will definitely use him again!”
“We were really pleased with her communication and care for our dog and would absolutely choose her again. Our dog seemed perfectly content when we returned home. She was very professional and listened to our requests.”

I must say I was hesitant at first using Rover and wasn’t sure how it would worked for our situation as our Bear is extremely shy. However it turn out to be such a blessing and peace of mind. And to see the photo updates with Bear were the highlights of my day. I would definitely rebook with Zoe again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Royston stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
