About: I’ve not gone most of my life without pets in my life and I understand how much they mean to us. I have had plenty of friends and family rely on me to take care of their pets while they are out, so I’ve been able to deal with pups of most ages! I am home from college this summer and am looking for something to fill my free time! I have a very open and flexible schedule during the weekend and weekdays as of right now, so taking care of any pets shouldn’t be a problem as I am only a part time employee! I have a very energetic dog myself so I know what is needed to keep him entertained. I can crate your dog if needed/ when specified. For my dog, I make sure he takes his medications on time and I can do the same for any other pups. I make sure all meals are given out on time and treats given wisely but generously if allowed.
“Lilly takes exceptional care of our babies. They love her. She took care of our home and animals while we were away. We would highly recommend her to anyone needing a walker. She is punctual and stays the whole time. She not only walks, plays with but cleans up. Thanks Lilly!!!”
“Rayna and Zach are absolutely terrific with my dogs. I was very nervous about introducing my 13 year old dog and new 3 month old puppy to strangers but they warmed up to them right away. Not only did they take care of their basic needs (food, water, bathroom), but they also took the time to teach my new puppy some essential tricks like not biting when he plays, being calm when entering the crate, etc. I come home every day with two tired, well behaved, and mess free pups. They have gone above and beyond my expectations and I am so lucky to have them taking care of my pups! I would recommend Rayna and Zach to anyone and everyone!!”
“Erica does so well with our dog, Duke. She checks in on him when our regular sitter is unavailable. She is very responsive and sends lots of photos of our pup while we are working. Highly recommend her!”
“Donavon is a great sitter! He was very attentive and asked many questions to make sure he had a great understanding. Our pup seemed very comfortable with him. Will be utilizing him again in the future.”
About: I have had 6 years of experience as a vet technician and 10 years of experience with pet sitting. I have always had a close bond with animals throughout my life. I am comfortable with administering medications and any special instructions a pet may need during my time sitting. I love sending updates throughout my visit if the parent would like to receive them. Currently, I am a dental hygiene student, which entails attending classes from the morning until late afternoon on weekdays. I typically dedicate my time to studying both weekdays and weekends, ensuring ample opportunities to spend time with your fur baby/babies I’m great at following instructions and making sure everything is done carefully during my visit. I always respect people’s space and privacy when I’m in their home. I’m also a very tidy person and will tidy up or clean anything I use or touch.
“Bridget was amazing!! She is very calm and kind and my cats liked her right away! I have a senior cat who needs meds and other things and Bridget did everything he needed along with caring for my other 2 cats. She followed all instructions and loved on my kitties for 9 days and did a fantastic job!! I would absolutely hire her again!!”
“Alicia was communicative and punctual with her visit. My cat gets lonely on his own, and she sent me pictures of him looking very happy having some playtime and a belly rub (his favorite). She adhered to the instructions I left for her and she was caring and attentive. I came home to a happy cat and that makes me happy! I have already booked Alicia for a future visit and I can enjoy my vacation knowing my cat will be well taken care of.”
“Jordyn did an excellent job. She has very patient and loving to our sometimes skittish and bashful kitty. She even got her to come from under the bed and play. Also, Jordyn took my trash out and wiped down the kitchen counters, great job, thanks you very much. I will definitely call Jordyn the next time we are away. I appreciated all you did.”
About: I have had my own dogs since I was 13 years old. I am very detailed in a feeding, walking and potty schedule for my dogs and I will do the same for yours I will be able to drop in on pets anytime morning to evening. I work instacart so I can very easily work drop ins around this I will be careful and loving and fun when I drop in on pets. I will make sure that they are well taken care of and get lots of attention
“Victoria was such a lifesaver to help out with our pets at the last minute. She was so great with them and absolutely amazing at getting our cat to take his meds. We are incredibly grateful that we found Victoria!”
“Kaylee was super communicative and the pups loved her! She took great care of the dogs and left the house neat and clean. Even our dog who is usually so shy around strangers loved her. Thank you!”
“Such a great experience with kirsten and was very comforting knowing how good of care she was taking of Oakley. Sent a bunch of photos and Oakley looked very happy and comfortable.”
About: I have had dogs and cats my entire life. I have had my dog since 2019. I pet sit for friends and family whenever needed. Our pets are so important and it’s hard being away from them! I would make sure I take care of your dog like I care for my own. I work from home full time but have the ability to work from anywhere there is internet available. Evening and morning walks are ideal during the days that I work. I’m off Saturday/Sunday/Monday I will follow any rules that you have for your pets. Everyone cares for their pets a little differently so it’s important to keep that routine. Going on walks if the dog is used to a leash or playing in the backyard is okay with me. I currently walk my own medium size dog on a leash daily as well as exercise at the dog park.

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.
