“Mary is a delight! She is extremely easy to work with, and very thorough! She even watered my garden for me everyday. I already rebooked my next visit with her when we leave again at the end of the year. Thank you, Mary!! :) :)”
“Meagan was great! We were flexible about times, but she always came when she said she was going to and gave detailed summaries after each visit. We could see her playing with Louie on the outdoor camera, and he looked like he really enjoyed her company. She took great care of our buddy while we were out of town and we couldn’t be happier!”
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
About: Ive always had a pet my whole life every single one of them has been my best friends! I currently have to animals of my own and they are my babies! I love staying active and being on the move so your furr babies wont get bored! I usually get off work around 12-2 it varies every day! I start work at 7:30 am.

I have a fenced in yard, I have 2 kitties but they will be put away if another pet is in my home just to keep the stress down for all animals!

About: I’ve had hands on experience with animals my whole life, I have experienced feeding, walking, grooming, exercise. Monitoring their health in a safe loving environment. Dog walking fits well into my schedule because I work part-time, which gives me flexibility to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks. I plan my schedule carefully to ensure I arrive on time and can give each dog the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. If I have any scheduling conflicts, I communicate with owners in advance. I understand that trust is essential when caring for someone’s pet and home. I treat every home with respect and follow care instructions exactly as provided. I make safety my top priority by keeping doors and gates secure, supervising pets, avoiding unsafe situations during dog walks and ensuring they always have fresh food, water and a clean environment.
About: I’ve never lived without a dog, so I have life experience playing, feeding, walking, and bathing pups. I helped raise and train my parents’ Golden Retriever puppy during COVID. I’m the go-to sitter for friends’ dogs and have experience with giving oral medication safely. I work full time, but remotely on Monday, Wednesdays, and Fridays and can easily take a break to take care of your baby. Weekends are fully open, unless out of town. I treat each clients home with professionalism and ensure that I take care not only the pets, but leave no trace of me behind. Your house is your safe space and I will never spoil that for you.
“Kaitlyn was an amazing pet sitter for our 120 pound great pyr/ GSD mix! While our dog can be a bit tough meeting new people, Kaitlyn dove right in and provided regular check ins, potty breaks, and playtime for our boy. Would highly recommend!”
“Excellent! My two boys loved her. She was on top of all their needs, she sent us lots of pictures, and updated us on walks and moods. We felt our boys were in very good hands. I would have her Rover for us again hands down!”
About: I grew up in a home full of animals, including dogs, cats, and birds, so caring for pets has been a big part of my life from an early age. Over the years I’ve developed a calm, patient l approach to training and have successfully worked on manners and basic cues with every pet I’ve owned. I recently finished my master’s degree at Carnegie Mellon University and now work in the entertainment industry, which gives me a flexible, creative schedule and a strong sense of responsibility and communication. I share my life with a 3‑year‑old beagle named Patti LuPup, and we love spending time in nature together exploring trails and parks. Because I’m so used to reading different animal personalities, I’m comfortable with shy, energetic, or quirky pets and always focus on making them feel safe, engaged, and loved. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, active playtime, or quiet company, I’ll treat your pet like part of my own family. I am currently in between work after finishing my masters program, so my availability is flexible as I am working freelance at the moment. I am very happy to coordinate to best service you! I have a calm beagle of my own, and we have a large fenced in yard. Many parks are close by with trails and dog parks.
“Mariah was amazing and gave us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were away! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares deeply about your dogs!”

I also do not start until 9 so I can always do a little before work and after 7 pm I will treat your dog as my own when under my care. Whatever needs you have for your pets as you are away I can take care of!
About: I have always loved animals of all kinds, and caring for them is truly my passion. As a teacher, I’m patient, responsible, nurturing, and dependable. I grew up with dogs, so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone you trust. I treat every pet with love, attention, and care. I began watching dogs for family and friends in high school. Recently, I have been watching animals more frequently over the weekends which inspired me to create a Rover account! I am the happiest when I am around furry animals so I am very much looking forward to this journey! As a teacher, my weekdays are typically busy until 4:00 PM, but I’m available afterward for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. My weekends are wide open, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible! When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I provide fresh food and water, lots of playtime, endless attention, and plenty of affection. For walks, I focus on safety and keeping dogs active, happy, and comfortable while following their pace and needs.

I’ll be able to spend time with your fur baby after work, after school, and in my free time thursday - saturday. we have two golden retrievers who are the sweetest boys around. we have a front and back yard, neither are fenced in due to their size.
“Theresa had great communication and took fantastic care of my four cats while I was out of town. Everything was in perfect order when I returned. I would definitely book her again!”
About: Hi! My name is Plachette, and I've lived with various pets since I was a child. My father was a dog breeder (pitbulls <3), so being surrounded by puppies and dogs is something I've become accustomed to! I have experience with dog walking and sitting multiple breeds at once and administering medication as instructed. While dog sitting at your home, I'll also tend to any messes that are made, bring your newspapers/packages/mail, and give you thorough daily updates of what's going on around the home. Upon request I'm able to provide proof of having 5 star ratings for 150+ services I've already completed for other pet parents. For dog walks, I'm capable of handling small to gigantic dogs. I can work with dogs that pull. I prefer to use a waist leash (I have my own) while walking dogs since it allows me to be hands free and have more control with your pet. Of course, if you prefer your pet's own leash, that's fine too. :) I am self-employed so I am able to make my own schedule for work days and hours. If extended stays or additional pets need longer periods of care, I can adjust to these changes. When pet owners provide me with particular details on how to care for their pets (feeding schedules, administering medication, crating, etc.), I will be a able to provide proper care for any pet.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rural Ridge
So grateful Yasmeen could watch my bunny again on short notice! I swear my girl looks a little disappointed when she sees me come home after my trip and I’m not Yasmeen lol. I always look forward to the photos I receive during drop ins and I can tell my Truffle really loves her visits!
Meagan was great! We were flexible about times, but she always came when she said she was going to and gave detailed summaries after each visit. We could see her playing with Louie on the outdoor camera, and he looked like he really enjoyed her company. She took great care of our buddy while we were out of town and we couldn’t be happier!
I can't say enough wonderful things about Cassandra! Recently, a storm hit our area — not exactly ideal conditions for anyone. But without hesitation, she went above and beyond her role and helped clean up before carrying on with caring for Harvey. That kind of thoughtfulness and initiative is incredibly rare. She didn't have to do that — but she did it anyway, and it meant the world to me. It's clear she genuinely cares. So If you're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, and goes the extra mile (literally and figuratively), look no further. Thanks Cass :)

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.
