“We met Tiali for the first time today in preparation for an upcoming house sit with our dog and 3 chickens. She asked great questions and is clearly engaged and thinking how to best meet our needs and expectations. I have a good feeling about the upcoming week!”

“Julie was amazingly patient and creative with our girl, Chloe, whom we've never left with anyone other than trusted family in the 6 years we've had her. Julie came for an intro, went on a walk, learned Chloe's "tricks" (along with her fears!) and listened to all our concerns. Chloe did GREAT, and welcomed Julie with a wagging tail by day 2!”

About: I've taken care of animals since I've graduated high-school. I'm an animal lover and have taken care of the smallest animals to the biggest. I am willing to go the extra mile for your babies and give plenty of updates. I currently work part-time, allowing me to offer overnight stays as well as morning walks and morning and evening feedings. If your pet requires additional care during the day, I can also accommodate drop-in visits. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to keep their routine familiar, comfortable, and stress-free while you're away. I provide care in my clients' homes to help pets remain comfortable in their familiar environment. During the first few days, I make an effort to spend extra time with your pet to build trust, learn their routine, and help them feel secure while you're away. I follow all feeding, exercise, and medication instructions carefully and maintain a clean, safe environment. I prioritize your pet's well-being by providing companionship, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of attention while respecting your home's rules and routines. For overnight stays, I ensure pets have consistency, comfort, and supervision throughout the evening and morning.

About: I’ve taken care of pets my whole life. It began with raising my childhood dog, a black lab named Hannah. I am always my friends and family’s go-to for a pet-sitter because I truly treat them like they are my own. I have experience pet sitting for small breeds as well as large such as pitbulls. I have always had a passion for caring for animals and love to continue doing so. I currently work a hybrid job with multiple remote days, so I am available all day during Wednesdays and Fridays. I look forward to meeting your pet soon! While I am unable to care for pets in my own home, I will gladly take care of them in yours and follow any instruction provided.

About: I have over a year of hands-on dog care experience and genuinely love working with all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and understood while their parents are away. From active pups who need long walks to calm seniors who need gentle routines, I adapt my care to each dog’s needs. What sets me apart is my reliability, attention to detail, and the amount of one-on-one time I give each dog. I follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, and house rules exactly as instructed. I provide playtime, enrichment, exercise, potty breaks, and lots of affection to keep your dog relaxed and happy. I’m comfortable with puppies, high-energy dogs, shy or anxious dogs, and multi-pet households. You’ll always receive updates and photos so you can feel confident that your fur baby is getting loving, professional care. My pet care routine is structured around my full-time role at Labcorp (7 AM – 4 PM). I provide morning care before work, including feeding, walks, and medication if needed. After my shift, I return promptly for evening care, extended attention, walks, and overnight stays. Pets are never left without consistent care, and I provide regular updates and photos to ensure peace of mind. I prioritize safety, routine, and comfort when caring for pets in your home. I follow all instructions exactly as given feeding, walks, medications, and house rules to keep your pet on their normal routine. I always make sure pets are safe and secure, and I treat your home with respect by keeping it clean and locked. I also send regular updates and photos so you feel comfortable and connected while you’re away. Building trust with both you and your pet is very important to me.

About: I’ve always had a genuine love for dogs and believe they deserve the same patience, attention, and care we would give our own family. As a dog walker and pet sitter, I focus on making every walk and visit a positive, comfortable experience while keeping your pet’s safety and routine a top priority. What sets me apart is that I treat every dog as an individual. I take the time to learn their personality, energy level, favorite activities, and specific needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. Whether your pup loves a long walk, needs extra cuddles, or simply wants a calm companion, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I’m dependable, communicative, and attentive to the little details. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident knowing your fur baby is happy and well cared for while you’re away. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, loved, and excited to see me again! 🐾 I currently not employed and have alot of flexibility. I enjoy incorporating walks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of love throughout the day. I’m also flexible and understand that every pet has a different routine. I’m happy to follow their normal feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime schedules so they feel comfortable and at home. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Most importantly, I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs so they feel comfortable, cared for, and loved. 🐾

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I understand that every dog and cat has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to get to know them. I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and right at home. I also believe in keeping pet parents informed, so you can enjoy peace of mind while you’re away. Whether it’s a playful walk, a cozy cuddle, or simply sticking to their usual routine, I treat every pet as if they were my own. 🐾 I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular care, playtime, walks, and cuddles while keeping their routines as consistent as possible. Whether your dog needs a midday walk or your cat prefers a quiet check-in, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. 🐾 I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Since I work from home, I’m able to provide a calm, attentive environment and give pets the care and companionship they need throughout the day. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, and medication instructions when needed. I also make sure they have fresh water, a clean space, and plenty of attention. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level, and I always prioritize their safety and well-being. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your furry family members are in good hands. 🐾

Whether it's specific meal times, medications, a preference of long walks or short, playtime, lots of pets and belly rubs or a bit more space, Ill be attuned to every different personality and their needs! Their safety and comfort is always my top priority. Ive been a nurse for 13 years. I take pride in how I show up and care for my patients and your sweet furry babies deserve nothing less and will always get the very best care with me😊 My schedule is open and pretty flexible for the remainder of the year. Spending my time caring for your pet will add so much more joy to my days and I'm confident that it will do the same for them!

About: Over 20 years as a dog owner. I'm semi-retired. I've been watching friends' and friends of friends' pets for years. I've been the only house/dog sitter for a pair of Dalmatians for the last 5 years. I've handled puppies that are still working on becoming housebroken as well as senior dogs that need regular medication and extra care. I do in-home tech support/ IT work. When a customer's animals have warmed up to me, I've been asked if I did pet sitting as well. It feels good when the pet picks you. My working schedule is very flexible, I'm usuably able to adjust it to make sure I'm available to see to your pet's needs. If I commit to caring for your critters they will be my scheduling priority. I don't have pets in my own home. When house/pet sitting, besides feeding, walking and picking up after the pets I'm capable of handling household issues that might come up.

About: Hi, my name is Jenny and I have a lifelong love of animals. I have cared for various types over the years including dogs, cats, birds, fish, chickens, goats, and horses. I have the most experience with cats, dogs, birds and fish. I am married to my high school sweetheart and we are the proud parents of five lovely girls (two are grown up and starting lives of their own) two amazing labradoodles and two sweet kitty cats who we fostered from our local animal shelter. We have a large family with lots of love to share and a large, secure fenced yard for furry friends to play in, plus a devoted indoor cat area where cats can sit back, relax, and enjoy freedom in a safe environment. Dogs have the freedom to go in and out at their leisure, and I also have a private area for dogs who don’t want to be around other dogs. I am interested in expanding my pet sitting clientele and I hope you will consider me for your pet care needs! Please feel free to ask me anything- I look forward to meeting you! I run my own business from home, leaving me plenty of time and availability to offer a loving and safe environment to furry friends who can’t be left alone. I have a fully fenced, dog-safe yard, and a dedicated room just for cats. All animals will be treated with love and kindness, as though they are members of our own family 💗

Morning, afternoon or evening. Would love to give your fur babies attention ! We live on 3 acres but our dogs and cats are mainly inside. The dogs have a dog run and enjoy the sunshine daily along with walks. Due to wildlife our precious cat Saint stays indoors.

My previous sitter relocated and I was nervous to have to look for a new trusted sitter for my furbabies. After our initial meet and greet, I was feeling happy and confident that my furbabies will be in good hands while I’m away. Tiali was attentive to my cats. She was also very responsive and communication went well between both parties. I came back to very happy cats and everything looked in order. Will definitely recommend to others as well as rebooking with her again.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Rucker

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 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.

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 Meet & Greet .

sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
