About: I love dogs! They give me purpose. Recently, my 15-year-old furbaby, Missy, crossed the Rainbow Bridge. We went on daily walks, played treat puzzles, visited shops, and enjoyed an occasional pupaccino. I miss having a dog around the home. They are so much company. I love to take them for walks, play ball, etc. I have a small fenced area for small dogs and a large fenced area for the bigger dogs. Dogs make a house a home (mine or yours). When with me, your dogs will be in caring hands! Currently, I work part-time (3 days a week and can take dogs with me). So, I have plenty of time to play, walk, board, feed, and/or check-in on your dogs. At my home, I have a small fenced in area and larger screened-in area for your dogs. Your dogs will not be left alone when outside. I will always be there to watch them. Also, your dogs are allowed to make themselves comfortable on my furniture or dogs beds. If you prefer my services at your house, I will follow your instructions.
“Scarlet is a cat whisperer! Our cats are normally very shy and hide in closets for extended periods when visitors come by. Scarlet had them out and literally eating from her hand in just a day or two. They looked quite content with her as a sitter. Definitely recommend!”
“Jessica was great with my two kitties! It’s obvious she loves animals. Even though I was kind of out of cell service for most of my trip, it was great to get the updates and pictures and videos of my babies and know that they were in good hands.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, farm animals, reptiles, and rodents. I take precise care and provide detailed attention to all animals. I provide updates consistently. My availability is completely free for pet care. I am available for an early morning walk, an afternoon check in, an evening feeding, or just until you can make it back. I would feel most comfortable caring for animals inside of the pet’s home to decrease stress for the pet. I have two cats at my home and will not be comfortable having additional dogs or cats over.
“Coral was an amazing pet sitter for our anxious kitty. It can be difficult to find a sitter that our cat is comfortable with. During the meet and greet, our cat was already rubbing up against her legs and wanting to smell her! During drop-in visits, she made sure to take lots of pictures and send detailed notes, which I really appreciated. Coral also cleaned up the house a bit (took trash out, started dishwasher, etc.) before she left, which was such a thoughtful touch. We (and our kitty) would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Coral for your great work!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, chickens, sheep, goats, horses, and cows since I was a kid. Neighbors and family and friends relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, clean stalls, and give love and attention to their fur babies. I have taken care of kittens that needed bottle feeding, Birds with cones on because they are plucking their feathers. Bottom line is, I LOVE ALL ANIMALS like they are my own and I will make sure your fur child is taken care of. I am a full time student that is currently studying online for ensure a mobile lifestyle. I am here for your pet 24/7 when they are in my care. I am here to create and maintain and open line of communication, transparency, safety and your fur child needs are my #1 concern. I have a gentle giant male dog that lives in our home. However, when traveling to a clients home my focus is solely on your pet and my dog will stay with his other human.

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.
