About: I’ve been helping my friends and family take care of their pets for years while taking care of my own elderly dog. I’ve helped with feeding, bathing, and medication for the animals and provide the upmost care for them. I’m currently available every day of the week at certain times due to college. Times im available are; Mon 10:30AM-10PM, Tues 5PM-10PM, Weds 10:30AM-1:30PM and 7PM-10PM, Thurs 3:30PM-10PM, Fri 6AM-10PM, Sat 6AM-10PM, Sun 6AM-10PM. I’d love to take care of any new furry friends and talk to you more about how it can fit into my schedule if you’d like to book! I’m very gentle with animals, if they’re afraid to approach me or be around me I’ll keep my distance to keep them calm as possible. I’ll set their food and water and wait for them to eat in their own time since I already have the habit of doing so with my own dog due to him being very picky about what he eats. I always keep a close eye on them.
About: Hello 👋🏻 My name is Kaylee and I’ve been a professional pet sitter for about 5 years now. Over the course of those 5 years I’ve cared for all of the following animals: dogs, cats, birds, fish, snakes, turtles, lizards, hamsters, rabbits and horses. I’m in college getting an animal science degree and I’ve worked with a wide age range of animals. From puppies all the way to senior dogs and kittens all the way to elderly cats. *please know that while my listed prices are accurate additional surcharges may apply. (All prices will be disclosed before booking) I don’t have a job outside of pet care at the moment so I have plenty of availability (including during standard work hours/weekdays). I do have college classes and the occasional appointment during the week, with these being blocks of time I will need to leave the clients home to attend (which will be discussed ahead of time). However aside from that I have a plethora of time available to dedicate solely to your pet(s). *jobs that are “constant care” and/or have strict rules regarding how long the pet(s) can be left alone MAY incur a surge charge. I haven’t had a pet escape or get lost on my watch yet, and I don’t plan to start now. My childhood dog escaped once as kid, and even thought he was quickly found, it made me realize the horror of potentially losing a pet. As a result, I take pet safety very seriously. I will not walk a dog without a leash. I always double and triple check that doors are closed/locked (when appropriate).
“Meghan is literally best! Super flexible and easy to communicate with. I felt totally safe with her in my home caring for my dog while I was out of town. 100% will use her again in the future for travel. She’s the best!!”


About: I am a Massage Therapist for over 26 years taking a little break from the spa world. I found myself having extra time. Recently, my friends have been asking me to dog sit for them and I thought why not open my services to my community. I recently watched a very sweet dog for a week became very attached giving lots of love and massages. I have a friendly five year-old dog that loves companionship. We have a pool that we all love to get into and cool off. I can give dog baths, dog walks dog parties. Have comfort in knowing that your dog will be well taken care of. I have the flexibility with my work schedule to only be gone 5 to 6 hours any given day. I can do check-ins a couple of times a day as well as overnight sitting in my own home. We have a decent size fenced yard. We live on a pretty quiet street with only one or two dog neighbors. My dog copper is very friendly and loves company. Copper normally stays inside, especially during the hot months. We have a park nearby that I like to throw the ball and get the wiggles out. On occasion, we take our dog to a dog park.
“This was my very first experience using Rover, and the process couldn’t have been easier thanks to Anthony. He walked me through every step of setting up the drop-in appointments and truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of. During our family trip, I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such good hands. Anthony’s care, attention to detail, and genuine passion for animals really stood out. I’ll absolutely feel confident reaching out to him again for future dog-sitting needs. Thank you so much, Anthony, for taking such amazing care of Echo and Mochi, your dedication truly shows!”

About: Hello! My name is Fidencio, (my family calls me John, and you can too). I am 32 years old and have a long history of caring for dogs in my family. In 2005, my Father rescued a puppy from war torn Iraq. He fell in love with Target, our Iraqi dog, while he was deployed there. I remember my dad calling my mom, begging her to please find a way to get Target home, to California, over 7000 miles away. We went to work as a family finding any possible way to get our small puppy back home. Long story short, because we love animals, we got Target shipped to LAX. Target was what we considered an animal refugee. I remember going on the drive to LAX as a 5th grader to go pick up Target, when I first saw him he was scared, being shipped across the globe and being separated from his owner on the journey. But as soon as we got in the car we broke the crate open, we instantly all fell in love. Dedication to protecting a caring for animals is something that runs deep for me. And opening up our home to do that for others is an honor. I’ve attached some photos of Target, our 1st family dog. Looking at these older photos is such a trip! Blast from the past if you will. My Dad is now retired from the USMC and has a service dog jack, who is pictured above. He loves to play with other dogs and is very friendly. Hope you meet you and your pet soon! I am home full time and will always be there for you and your pet! Can be contacted 24/7 and checkup anytime. I’m just a call away. I care for other pets the same I would care for my own. With love, patience, and care. These things come naturally as an animal lover!
About: I have been around pets since birth, I love all animals they have a special place in my heart. I have rescued 2 cats and grew up with all types of dogs also volunteered at various ranches to help care for animals I currently work full time but I do make my own schedule I would be happy to do everything I can to accommodate your little one’s needs I believe animal safety is of utmost importance and can guarantee your babies safety when in my care, I will always take extra precautions to ensure their happiness and safety
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home with several pets, primarily Golden Retrievers, and had the privilege of helping raise two litters of puppies. Those early experiences taught me the value of patience, consistency, and creating a loving environment where dogs can flourish. When I was sixteen, our family dog welcomed a litter of eleven puppies, and I was actively involved throughout her pregnancy, the delivery, and the puppies’ early development. One of those puppies became my soul dog, deepening my appreciation for the extraordinary bond between dogs and their families. Over the years, I’ve gained knowledge with caring for puppies, adult dogs, seniors, and pets recovering from surgery. Above all, I make it a priority to help every pet feel protected, nurtured and content while maintaining the routine they’re accustomed to. Whether we’re exploring a neighborhood trail, playing with their favorite toys, practicing positive reinforcement with owner-approved treats, or simply enjoying quiet cuddle time, I strive to make every pet feel like they’re spending time with a trusted friend—not just a sitter. Building trust is one of the most rewarding parts of pet sitting. Every dog deserves patience, kindness, and individualized attention, and I take the time to create a genuine connection with each one. My hope is that you’ll return home to a settled companion with the confidence that they were treated like a cherished member of my own family. I currently have open availability as I am working instacart and obtaining my Yoga teacher training certification. If you need someone reliable and loving to take care of your fur baby, I will be there! I understand that every pet and every family has unique routines and preferences. My priority is to provide care that aligns with your pet’s normal schedule so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Whether you need drop-in visits, walks, or overnight care, I’m happy to accommodate your needs. I’ll treat your home with the same respect I would my own by keeping it clean, tidy, and secure. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that’s just as you left it.

About: I have always lived in a house with dogs. I have experience in administering medication to dogs anywhere from birth to the senior years. I have experience leash training as well as house training. I currently work a part-time serving job with very flexible hours. I have reliable transportation and can take same day appointments! I am able to check in as many times as needed as well as stay overnight, I do live in a house with a lot of animals so I don’t believe it would be a good idea to take other pets into my home but, I can guarantee to treat your pets and home as if they are my own when in my care. As a teenager I often did house/child/pet care for people in my community. I understand that I am a guest in your space and I can promise to act with respect, kindness, and integrity as I care for what is yours.
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I have over 2 years of hands-on pet-sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and reptiles. I am comfortable with pets of all sizes, including large breeds, puppies, and senior animals that may require extra patience or special care. My experience includes overnight stays of up to two weeks, daily walks, feeding, bathing, grooming, administering medication, and providing plenty of love and attention. Pet owners often describe me as patient, trustworthy, communicative, and attentive to their pets’ needs. With my own reliable transportation and a genuine passion for animal care, I strive to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I have cared for over 10 pets and treat every animal as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work Monday through Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM, but I am fully available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for pet sitting, walks, drop-in visits, and overnight care. I am committed to giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while their owners are away. I have reliable transportation and always make sure pets are cared for safely, consistently, and with plenty of love. While I am unable to offer boarding in my own home, I take great pride in caring for pets in their familiar environment. When staying in a client’s home, I treat both the home and pets with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I always follow household rules, feeding schedules, walking routines, and any training or discipline methods already in place so your pet experiences consistency while you’re away. I am clean, responsible, and non-disruptive, and I make it a priority to leave your home just as I found it. I am happy to clean up after myself, wash dishes, take out the trash, bring in mail, and help keep things tidy during my stay. My goal is to provide a safe, stress-free experience for both pets and owners, giving you peace of mind knowing your pets are loved and your home is being cared for responsibly.
“Thank you for taking care of Zoey! She is a tough cat but you were able to deal and get through. Lucas showed on time and followed instructions thoroughly. Was a easy process and he is very trusting. Was a pleasure meeting you Lucas!”

About: Hi! My name is Bella, and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve always had a deep love for animals, and I’m currently a proud dog mom to two dogs of my own, whom I absolutely adore and care for every day. I have 3 years of experience caring for and loving animals, and I truly believe that pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and loved—even when their parents are away. My goal is to give your pets the same patience, attention, and affection I would want for my own. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, giving lots of cuddles, keeping them on their normal routine, or simply being there for them, I want your pets to feel like they have a friend by their side. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies behind, so I’m here to give you peace of mind while making sure they know they aren’t alone. ❤️🐾 Pet care fits very naturally into my daily and weekly routine. With my husband currently away serving in the military, I have more flexibility and time in my schedule to dedicate to something I genuinely love—caring for animals. I’m able to be flexible with my availability and give each pet the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. I love having the opportunity to stay active, spend time with animals, and make pet care a meaningful part of my day while also focusing on myself and building work that I truly enjoy. 🐾❤️ Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in their own home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for.

In a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure everything is kept clean and just as I found it. I’ll give pets plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and companionship so they don’t feel lonely while their family is away. I also understand that every pet is different. Some may want lots of cuddles and play, while others may need more patience and personal space. I’m happy to meet them where they’re comfortable and treat every pet with the same love and care I give my own. 🐾❤️
About: I have had a love and respect for all animals for as long as I can remember. I grew up on a small farm with chickens, goats, peacocks, ducks, one pig, and family dogs and cats. I remember waking up early before school to go feed all the animals with my grandma every morning(she lived with me and my parents). We’d take in every stray cat that wondered on our property. My grandma and i would catch the stray cats in a cage and take them to the vet. The baby goats would occasionally be rejected by their mothers which resulted in me and my grandma having to bottle feed the rejected baby. I truly had a blessed childhood to be surrounded by animals. Our first family dog was named Pepper and she is a Flat Coated Retriever. My baby passed over the rainbow bridge this past May and i was destroyed but she gave us the most amazing 16 years of her life being the most perfect angel well behaved dog. When i turned 14 i asked for a puppy and my parents said yes as long as i understood the puppy would be my responsibly since they both work and at this point in my time my grandma had passed 2 years prior. I said i understood and they got me an Alaskan Malamute puppy. I love him dearly but geese he was a stubborn trouble maker. I worked with him every day to potty train him and cate train him until we were comfortable with him free roaming the house. I also taught him tricks and how to walk by my side when we went on walks and hikes. He grew to the 120 pound gentle giant he his now. He lives in norcal with my parents while i’m here in socal for college. I currently do mainly remote social media marketing work. However i do have to go in person to my work randomly throughout the month but not super often. I live in a house with a fenced yard and six other female roommates. I love animals and believe attention and enrichment is very important when it comes to pet care and so I will do my very best to make sure your pet feels cared for and comfortable whether that’s in my home or yours or simply on a walk!
About: I make sure that whatever animal is under my care, they feel safe. Exercise before treats and affection. I have raised pups since their birth. At the moment my schedule is open only during the weekdays. I’m unavailable during the weekends. Walks are good any time of day. I do prefer morning routines. I have a fenced area both in front of the house and in the back, and 2 friendly dogs to keep a visiting dog company.
About: Hello! I currently have 1 English bulldog. I used to have a Rottweiler, a Yorkshire terrier, and 2 pugs who recently passed (RIP). Recently, I’ve dog-sat an English bulldog (who had a laundry list of health issues and daily medications and needed to be walked at least three times a day) for about three weeks. I’ve also recently cat-sat for about a week! I also have experience dog-sitting a little French bulldog puppy. That being said, I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Additionally, I’m looking to gain more experience taking care of cats. I love all animals, and I love taking care of them. When your dogs come over, I’ll be taking care of them but so will the rest of my family. We’re obviously a dog family, so we will give them so much love and attention! We also have a big backyard and other friendly dogs for them to play with. I can’t wait to walk with your dogs! I just moved back home from New York City, and I miss all the walking so much. I’m not sure who’ll be more excited for walks—your dog or myself. I hope you choose me! Thanks anyway (: I’m currently a part-time intern at an environmental non-profit, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for and play with your pet! I’m also a morning person, so I can be up early if that’s what your pet prefers. I love being outdoors, so I’ll take your dog for as many walks as their little heart desires. I like to give your pets as much attention as possible, and play with and walk them as much as they’d like. I want them to feel comfortable with me, and I want to make sure I’m getting their activity and potty needs met!

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.
