About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with three cats of my own, and I’ve created a comfortable space on my 5-acre property specifically with pet sitting and boarding in mind. Your pet will have plenty of space, attention, playtime, and a cozy home-away-from-home while you’re away. I love getting to know each animal’s individual personality and routine, whether they’re energetic and playful or happiest relaxing and getting lots of attention. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can see how your pet is doing throughout their stay! I have a flexible schedule and spend most of my time at home, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout their stay. I’m available throughout the week for boarding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and at home. I’ve set up a separate guest house specifically to provide pets with a comfortable, peaceful home away from home. My property has plenty of outdoor space for supervised walks, playtime, and exploring, while the guest house gives pets their own cozy space to relax indoors. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, and any special care needs, and I’m happy to provide plenty of photos and updates throughout their stay.

About: I’ve cared for pets for years through pet sitting for family members and friends, and animals have always been an important part of my life. One of my most meaningful experiences was caring for my elderly dog, Oreo, during the later years of his life. As he became less mobile, I helped him with stairs, getting on and off the couch, finding his food and water, and getting around comfortably. Caring for him taught me a lot about patience, gentleness, and paying attention to the little changes that can make a big difference for an older pet. I currently have two cats: Levi, my sweet one-eyed kitty, and Romie, who joined our household when we moved in with his owner. While I don’t currently have a dog of my own because I’m a student and know how much time and dedication dogs deserve, I still absolutely love being around them and getting my dog fix through the pets I care for! I understand that pets aren’t “just pets”, they’re family. Whether your pet needs playtime, cuddles, a patient companion, or a little extra help getting around, I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I’d want someone to give my own. Pet care is already built into my everyday routine. With my own cats, I start by making sure they’re fed and have plenty of fresh water; something I think is especially important and sometimes overlooked with pets. After that, I always make time for attention, whether that means cuddling on the couch, chasing a laser pointer, or simply letting them hang out wherever everyone else is. My cats may be independent, but they still want to be involved in absolutely everything we do! I also give my one-eyed kitty, Levi, his daily eye drop and keep a close eye on his eye since it requires a little extra care. At the end of the day, the cats usually get another round of playtime with a wand toy or whatever has caught their attention that week before finding their favorite cozy spot in our bed. I’m also the proud aunt of a very house-elf-looking wiener dog named Willow. Over the years, I’ve cared for her whenever my sister needed me to, which usually meant walks, meals, fresh water, treats, cuddles, and plenty of time to sniff the neighborhood. After walking a hound for years, I have learned that getting from Point A to Point B is merely a suggestion. Sometimes every single blade of grass apparently requires a full investigation! I’m very patient with that because sniffing and exploring are part of how dogs experience their world, and I’m happy to let them enjoy their walk rather than rush them through it. Once Willow has had her walk and settles down for one of her famous naps, that’s usually when I’ll work on schoolwork or other things I need to get done. Being a student gives me flexibility to work pet care naturally into my day, and I’m very comfortable planning my schedule around feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, check-ins, and whatever routine helps a pet feel most at home. Whether your fur baby is staying with me or I’m checking in on them in the comfort of their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m more than happy to follow any precautions, routines, house rules, feeding instructions, or little quirks that help your pet feel secure, because you know your animal better than anyone. I truly believe “just a pet” is not a thing. I would want someone caring for my own animals to take their safety and comfort seriously, and I wouldn’t offer another pet parent anything less. I’d love to say I’m Snow White and every animal immediately trusts me, but realistically, every pet has their own personality! I’m happy to give a nervous pet space, earn their trust at their pace, or give an affectionate one all the attention they’re asking for.

About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I’ve had pets since I was a little girl, and I currently have two French Bulldogs of my own, one is 6 years old and the other is 4. I’ve also cared for my neighbors’ dogs and cats, and I’ve even had experience caring for chameleons! My love for animals goes beyond simply having pets. I studied veterinary medicine for three years, and although I ultimately chose a different path, the knowledge and love for animals have stayed with me. I’m comfortable with everyday pet care, including feeding, walks, bathing, giving lots of attention and affection, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable while their families are away. I’m a stay-at-home mom to my two-year-old daughter, which gives me the flexibility to spend more time doing something I genuinely enjoy. For me, Rover is a wonderful opportunity to turn something I truly love into a rewarding experience while providing pets with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, a visit, or a comfortable home away from home, I’d be happy to care for them like one of my own.❤️ As a stay-at-home mom, I’m home most of the day and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine without leaving pets alone for long periods of time. For boarding, I can be home with your pet throughout the day, with time for walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I can also accommodate regular walks and drop-in visits depending on your pet’s needs and my family’s schedule. Pet care fits naturally into my lifestyle because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My family and I love having pets around, and I’m excited to make caring for animals a meaningful part of my routine while giving pet parents peace of mind that their pets are in loving hands. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I have a one-story home with no stairs and a fully fenced backyard, giving dogs a safe space to enjoy some fresh air and play. My two French Bulldogs are very friendly and used to being around other dogs and pets. When caring for a pet in my home, I make sure they are supervised, comfortable, and treated with patience and love. I will always follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and anything else your pet may need. When caring for your pet in your home, I will treat your home and your pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, follow your pet’s normal routine, and keep a close eye on them throughout my visit. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a beloved family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is for you to feel confident knowing your pet is safe, cared for, and receiving plenty of love and attention while they’re with me. 🐾❤️

Jen currently works from home and can work from anywhere there is wifi. Our cat can stay at home and is pretty independent so we can focus on your pets while you’re away. We will follow whatever instructions that are left. We take great care in making the environment as normal for the pets as possible and will leave your home in the same, if not better shape than when you left it.

About: I have had animals of all kind my whole life. My father raised and trained German Shepards when I was young so I was around dogs from birth. I’ve raised dog, goats, cows and donkeys. IAnd then at least one to two dogs have been in my home as a part of our family. I’ve traveled a lot and had to have my own sitters so I know how important is to feel comfortable with where my babies are and who they are with. I promise to treat your baby as if it were my own❤️ I currently work 4 days a week so I am very flexible Friday through Sunday. Monday through Thursday are very doable as well. Just let me know! I have a fenced in yard and a very large dog friendly home. We have 4 very small dogs who get along very well with others.

“Nevaeh was fantastic! She arrived right on time and went above and beyond during her visit. She took Mia out to the backyard for a potty break, brought her back in, spent time playing with her, and even checked in on our cats—despite only being scheduled to let the dog out. We’re very happy with the care she provided and will absolutely be using her services again in the near future. Highly recommended!”

Our two kitties are friendly but shy of strangers, so we didn't expect much interaction between them and Catherine. Not so; by the second day everyone was the best of friends, Maybe the cats can sense kindness because we believe Catherine went out of her way to be kind to them. She spent time with them and communicated promptly with us while we were gone. We loved what she did for us, and for sure she is our "go-to" person for future pet care.

I had to book Aspen very last minute due to a cancelation and she was definitely the right choice. I've never seen my cats warm up to someone so quickly. They clearly liked her. She also did a very good job of keeping the food, water, and litter box full and clean.

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.
