“Ethan went above and beyond to care for our 2 dogs when a medical incident occurred. Their communication was consistent and frequent throughout our entire vacation. We would happily book with them again and feel like our dogs were safe and loved in their care!”
“Ally was so great to work with and our dogs loved her. She was great at communicating and I knew the dogs were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs all my life. I’ve been watching my friends and my friends families animals for a few years now while they vacation or anything comes up. I’ve done the walking, the repetitive throws back and forth, and the quick check in during a storm just to make sure they haven’t chewed the house to pieces. I’m naturally an early bird so checking in earlier then my normal 6-3ish work schedule isn’t an issue and anytime after I’m usually free I have a fenced in run area for free running if they’d like. My porch is screened in so they can have the outside time without getting out.
“Abby was amazing with Lucy and Linus!!!! Abby sent us regular updates that included pictures and videos of what Lucy and Linus were up to!! Abby gave Lucy and Linus plenty of love and cuddles and even made them snack on their Kong toys to keep them busy! Abby left us the sweetest thank you card that included personalized magnets with Lucy and Linus’ pictures on them! We will definitely be using Abby again to care for our doggies!”
About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet care experience caring for my own dog. During that time, I’ve learned how important patience, consistency, attention & affection are when caring for pets I currently have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability to care for your pets. I’m able to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, and other pet care needs throughout the day, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure to follow any instructions you provide, keep a close eye on your pet during walks and visits, and maintain a calm, secure environment
About: Hi! I’m a friendly, reliable person who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’ve cared for my brother’s dog on multiple occasions, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure he stayed on his normal routine while my brother was away. I’m also a proud cat owner, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. I know every pet has their own personality, and I’m happy to take the time to make them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure you stay updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Whether your pet loves to play or just wants someone calm to keep them company, I’m here to provide dependable, attentive care. Pet care is already a regular part of my daily routine since I have two cats of my own. Every day includes feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, and making sure they’re happy and healthy. Because caring for pets is something I already prioritize, it’s easy for me to incorporate additional visits or boarding into my schedule while giving each pet the attention, consistency, and care they deserve. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, making sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, playtime, and a safe, clean environment. As a cat owner myself, I’m experienced with feeding schedules, litter box maintenance, and recognizing changes in behavior. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I respect their routine, provide lots of love and companionship, and keep owners updated with photos and messages so they can have peace of mind while they’re away.
“Jamie was a life saver!! Another Rover dog walker had to cancel day of due to an emergency, and Jamie was able to drive out to our house and let our pups out with just a few hours notice. We will definitely be hiring her in the future!!”
About: I love cats and understand their body language well. I’ve been a cat mom for 15 years and been pet sitting for 8 years and have always had positive experiences with the animals and their parents. I work Monday-Friday, 8-5 but can stay all day on the weekends! Or, if you are interested in house sitting, I can stay during the weekdays as well. I have recently lost my sweet cat of 18 and a half years, so I do not have a need to go home and take care of my kitty at this time. I can devote my pet sitting time entirely to your fur baby!
“Shya did a great job taking care of my 17 year old cat while I was away for a week. My cat has health issues and requires medication and daily fluids, so I was worried about leaving her home alone for the first time. Shya dropped in twice daily and followed my detailed instructions, and she provided me with daily updates and pictures so I knew that my cat was doing well. She maintained good communication throughout the visits and made me feel confident that my cat was in good hands. I'm very happy with the service she provided and would recommend her to anyone who needs a drop-in sitter.”
About: I grew up with at least 2-3 dogs in the house and they made my childhood so magical. I started as a mommy’s helper and pet sitter at 10 and then progressed to be a nanny (former) and house/pet sitter on the side for the past 6 years. I work completely remote for a flexible job, so my routine can fit around any pet care! I go on 5 mile walks daily and am more than happy to bring along a furry friend. I am a very tidy and clean person who is respectful of other’s homes. I will leave your house as good (if not better!) than I found it.
About: I am a huge animal lover I personally have a lot of experience with different types of animals. For example dogs, cats, chickens, turkeys, guineas, pigs, cows, goats and a tortoise. I’m always looking to learn and grow my animal knowledge. I will always try my best to provide amazing care and love to your animals, I am a hairstylist and my schedule depends on the week. But my schedule is usually pretty accommodating to any pets needs. I don’t tend to work late hours. I will love and care for your animals like they are my own. I will play with them, feed them, water them and respect them. I would rather watch your animals in your home because of my animals.
“Love Doreen!!!! I watched her a bit with Grey, and I could tell he was so happy with her! He loves a good floor cuddle, so I was super happy to see her actually on the floor with him🥹 will for sure be using her again!”
“Immediately upon meeting Avary, all 4 of our dogs were completely comfortable with her which speaks volumes. She was flexible and followed all directions for our pups. When she had a question, she asked instead of guessing. Avary gave our dogs love and checked in regularly. I was so nervous leaving them in the care of someone new but Avary did not disappoint. She showed that the wellbeing of our dogs were her top priority.”
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my combination of hands on vet tech experience and personal experience caring for a special needs dog of my own. This gives me a well rounded understanding of both medical awareness and everyday pet comfort. I’m confident handling everything from routine care to recognizing when something isn’t quite right, and I stay calm in stressful situations. I also know how important patience, consistency, and gentle handling are, especially for pets that need a little extra support or have specific health requirements. I am a free bird as I just recently separated from the United States Navy. So my schedule is as open as open can be! Any day and time of the week you need me I am here! I care for every pet as if they were my own, focusing first on safety, comfort, and consistency in their routine. In a client’s home, I make sure to follow all instructions exactly as given so the pet stays in a familiar environment with minimal disruption. I keep their feeding, walking, medication, and play schedules consistent, and I pay close attention to their behavior so I can quickly notice any changes in appetite, mood, or health. With my vet tech experience, I’m confident in recognizing signs of stress or illness and responding appropriately, including seeking veterinary care if needed. I’m also especially mindful of pets with special needs, senior pets, or puppies who require extra supervision, patience, and gentle handling. In my own home, I maintain a clean, pet-safe environment that is calm and structured. I supervise interactions at all times, ensure pets are never put in unsafe situations, and provide plenty of enrichment, attention, and comfort so they feel secure and cared for.

About: I’ve had a few cats in my life and love them I’ve boarded 4 cats of my friends for a few months I’m very patient with older cats as well. We have a miniature dachshund that’s older but still active. I have a dog of my own that’s very hyper which means that I’m always taking her outside or to get her nails trimmed and get her bathed We live on a road with our family and there’s a big yard for her to run around in as well as my in laws dog

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 .

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins.

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 .
