“All instructions were followed. I tried not to ask to much, just wanted them let out and food put down. When we spoke, Zehavit seemed very caring and conscientious, she was all of the above. I will use her on a regular basis.”
“Danielle was great! She took great care of our kitties and it was a huge relief getting her updates and check-ins so we knew they were safe and sound while we were in the hospital. We’ll definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve had the incredible privilege of caring for my own dog, Miles, for almost 18 years. Over those years, he became so much more than a pet—he was truly a member of my family. Caring for him throughout every stage of his life taught me the importance of patience, love, consistency, and paying attention to the little things that make a pet feel safe and comfortable. I’ve also cared for my sister’s dog when she needed a sitter. I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet while you’re away. I will treat every pet in my care with the same love, attention, and respect I would want for my own. While I’m newer to pet sitting professionally, I bring nearly 18 years of hands-on experience, a genuine love for animals, and a commitment to making every pet feel happy, safe, and loved while they’re in my care. I am currently available on weekends and evenings. I am also usually free on Fridays. I could do morning visits before I go to work if needed. I have a fenced in yard at my home. I recently had to put my 18 year old dog down and the home has been very quiet and lonely. I would love to have the company of your dog. I have dog beds, bowls, leashes and treats but feel free to provide your own! I also live in a large neighborhood where I could take your pet on many walks.
About: I’m the owner of Gold Paw Trails N’ Tails, a professional dog walking and pet care business. I work with dogs every day and have hands-on experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities. My experience includes puppies, seniors, large and small breeds, multi-dog households, high-energy dogs, and dogs who may be shy or anxious. I provide professional dog walking, drop-in care, group play, vacation care and boarding, so I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual routine and needs. Safety, reliability and communication are extremely important to me. I’m experienced with following detailed care instructions, managing different personalities and energy levels, and keeping pet parents updated while their dogs are in my care. Although I’m returning to Rover, I’m not new to professional pet care. This is what I do every day, and I treat every dog as an individual rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach. Pet care is my profession and a part of my daily routine. I own and operate a professional dog walking and pet care business, so my days are centered around caring for dogs. I offer weekday walks and drop-ins as well as vacation care and select weekend availability. I keep a structured schedule so every pet receives reliable, unrushed care. Safety and trust are always my priority. I follow each pet’s normal routine and care instructions closely and treat every client’s home with respect. I have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, energy levels and personalities, and I adjust my approach to what makes each dog feel most comfortable. Communication is also important to me, so pet parents can expect updates and photos while their dog is in my care.
About: Our journey as a professional pet sitter began 3 years ago, and since then we loved it! We are experienced in providing care and love to a variety breeds, sizes and ages of the fur babies. Our furry guests will have the privileges of enjoying the gentle care along with the routine walks, bonding activities and musical entertainment in a clean and affectionate home. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible for watching your fur babies. If I need to go out and run errands, I take the furry guests with me. We have 2 caged-in bunnies, and it's quite a surprise that they are not afraid of dogs! The bunnies can be relocated to upstairs if needed. Your fur babies will have supervised play in the backyard, and we always make sure to keep our house organized for safety reason. Please let us know your instructions from the vet for any special needs.
“Kayla was great with my dog. He is older and can be a little stand-offish but she was very patient and understanding. She was communicative and let me know exactly how they were doing. I would definitely hire her again!”
About: I have provided reliable dog sitting for multiple families, ensuring pets were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while owners were away. I have managed responsibilities including feeding, walking, playing, and administering basic medications. I have handled different breeds, sizes, and ages and pay attention to the each dog’s individual needs. I’m currently available for drop in visits until August 20 and then will be available again December-January and summer of 2027! Looking forward to meeting your pets! I will make sure to take each dog on as long of a walk as needed. I can take them where ever they are most comfortable or familiar with.
“I have used Simone for drop in visits for our 1yr old Bernedooble several times over the past 1-2 months. Simone is always responsive, attentive and she communicates well, prior to, during and after the assignment. Our dog is excited to see her and we know he is in good hands with Simone on duty!”
“Kristi took very good care of our cat when we were away. We will definitely keep her in mind for next time and appreciate all the beautiful photos of her while we were away. Mind was at ease knowing she was getting good care.”
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
“Danyelle did a fine job taking care of my cat for a week of drop-in visits. She came exactly when expected and sent reports and pictures every time. She's a trustworthy and very pleasant person.”
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and caring for them is something I truly enjoy. Every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and comfortable, even when their family is away. Whether it’s a relaxing walk, an energetic adventure, or a drop-in visit filled with playtime, belly rubs, meals, potty breaks, or quiet companionship, every visit is tailored to each pet’s unique personality and routine. Building trust with both pets and their families is my top priority. I take the time to make sure every dog and cat feels comfortable, happy, and cared for while keeping owners updated with plenty of photos and messages along the way. I have occasional time off, which I will be available to walk your dog or feed your dogs/cats and provide them with quality care. I have my own pets and love animals, so they will be in good hands. I will go to homes to feed or walk pets.
About: i have ample experience taking care of pets, but more than that, I have a deep love for animals and would bring passion, love and care to the job. I currently work at night Mon-Thurs. I am available on weekends to watch the pets when you are away and would be thrilled to spend my downtime with your furry friends! Sadly, I do not have any pets of my own, but I did have a dog growing up. It was my responsibility to walk and feed her.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rushland
Wendy is AMAZING! I found her in a pinch and thank goodness I did! She was available at last minute, and is truly such an incredibly kind and caring individual. She has outstanding communication, loved on my kitties and sent me so many pictures and videos. I have a hard time trusting just anyone with my animals but had no worries with her taking care of Milo and Zima. I cannot wait to have her take care of them again soon!

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.
