About: Growing up with our family dog Lucy, who lived until she was 19, has given me plenty of practical understanding of dog care. I frequently help look after friends' dogs, providing reliable walks, playtime, and regular feeding. With my flexible schedule, I look forward to offering attentive, dependable, in-home care to give your dog the best experience. My two children are in school during the day, and I am studying full-time at the moment. This makes my routine flexible, and pet care can fit in easily. I can accommodate mid-day check-ins, feeding schedules and walks in an unhurried way. When caring for pets in your home, I follow your exact feeding, health and care guidelines to keep your pets safe and happy in their familiar environment. I treat your home with the utmost respect, always ensuring doors and gates are secure. You can expect clear communication and photo updates with every visit.
About: Hi! I’m Nadia, a lifelong dog lover who truly believes life is better with pups around. I just completed my Pediatric Residency, and spending time with dogs has always been one of my favorite forms of self-care—because who doesn’t love a little puppy therapy? 🥹🐾 As I study for my boards, I’d love to spend my study breaks giving your pup all the love, attention, walks, belly rubs, and cuddles I’d give my own. My medical background has made me naturally attentive and dependable, with an eye for noticing when a pup might need a little extra TLC. I’m also comfortable following specific routines, giving medications, and caring for senior dogs or pups who need some extra care. Whether your dog wants to go on an adventure, play endless rounds of fetch, or just curl up next to me while I study, I’m happy to match their vibe. Most importantly, I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away! 🐶❤️ I am currently studying for boards, which gives me a very flexible schedule! I’m available throughout the day for walks, drop-ins, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. Spending time with pups is the perfect study break, so I’d love to work around your schedule and your fur baby’s routine! Caring for your fur baby’s will depend on your own environment and your needs. I will always cater to your needs and your fur baby’s needs!

About: After years and years of begging, I was finally blessed with my first dog, Max! I can proudly say I have personally raised my own puppy from 8 weeks all the way to 6 years and counting! All 120lbs of cuddles, walking, feeding, and medicating have given me the necessary experience to care for your own pup! From my experiences, I've learned how important it is to maintain routines and keep our furry pets as stress free as possible. I've gotten extremely comfortable with dogs of all sizes, energy levels, and reactivity, so no matter the pup, I'll do my best to adopt to your fur baby's personality! 🐶🩷 My priority in caring for your animals is making sure they feel loved and cared for duing your absence! That could include anything from walks, playing a good game of fetch, cuddles, or just spending some time together throughout the day. As for you, I also realize how easy it is to miss a fur baby (mine is currently over 600 miles away 😓) and will always be sure to keep you updated and provide as many updates as possible (complete transparancy is the key!)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Joaquin Hills
Kailyr watched our cats again this week, including an unexpected extension because our flight home was delayed — As before she took great care of them, and her updates are always fun to read. She sends lots of photos and videos, and she made sure the place was clean and orderly when we came home. This is our second time having Kailyr care for our cats, and we were again super appreciative of her care for them and attention to detail, as well as for being willing to take care of them an extra day on short notice. Very much recommended!
Sam was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our cat, Zorro, and spent quality time playing with him and keeping him happy and comfortable. She is incredibly sweet, caring, and lovely. We truly appreciated her kindness and attention to Zorro. We would highly recommend her and would love to have her care for Zorro again!
Bridget really saved us with a last minute booking! She took such great care of my cats,even my girl cat who usually takes a while to warm up to new people was cuddling on her lap night 1! Her warm energy must have been sense by them immediately, would definitely book again! Thank you thank you thank you(:

Isabel was a fantastic pet sitter. She sent informative daily updates along with adorable pics of our three cats. They seemed calm and happy when we returned home. Their food and litter areas were clean and organized. We so enjoyed meeting Isabel at our meet and greet and had no doubt that our beloved boys would be in capable hands while we were away.

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.
