“Eric was absolutely amazing with our dogs, Cooper and Emma. From the beginning, communication was great and he kept us updated with photos and messages during every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear he genuinely cared for them and treated them like his own, really spending time getting to know them and building a trusting relationship with them. He made sure they got outside time, attention and plenty of care. Both pups were happy and comfortable the entire time. We also really appreciated how dependable, kind and accommodating he was throughout the whole process. We came home to two very happy dogs and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We’ll absolutely be reaching out to Eric again in the future and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets!”
“Sierra did an amazing job of watching our fur babies while we were away. She eased our anxieties and sent us updates when she would check in. Sierra was patient with our pups and we couldn’t have asked for things to go any smoother. We will definitely be rebooking with Sierra anytime we need a pet sitter.”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 15, but my love for animals started long before that. I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and they truly have a special place in my heart. Over the years I’ve pet sat for families and friends, and through their recommendations, I’ve also had the opportunity to care for pets of people. I hadn’t previously met. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets and home and someone else’s care so I always treat every pet like they’re my own-with lots of love, patience and care.🐾 My availability is all day Saturday & Sunday + select weekday evenings. Message me for availability! I am currently working part time and a full-time student, so Friday-Sunday works the best for me right now with some evening availably:) I want your pets to feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away, which is why I’m happy to care for them right in their own home. I will follow their normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and always treat your home with care and respect. I’m also happy to send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re gone!!🐾
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them is something I truly love. I have over 7 years of hands-on experience raising, rescuing, and fostering pets of all ages. At 15, I welcomed my first dog into my family when she was just 2 months old, and she’s now 4 years old and thriving. I’ve also fostered a 1-month-old puppy until he was 1 year old before helping him find a loving forever home. One of my proudest experiences was rescuing a 3-week-old kitten from underneath a car. I bottle-fed her, cared for her around the clock, and she’s now a healthy, happy 7-month-old member of my family. In addition, I’ve fostered two newborn kittens until they were about 2 months old, helping them grow strong before finding them wonderful homes. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I always treat them with patience, kindness, and the same love I’d give my own. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, or giving extra attention to puppies, kittens, or senior pets, I’m committed to making sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My own cats are friendly and comfortable around dogs, and I have experience caring for pets in multi-animal households. I know how important trust is when leaving your furry family member with someone else, and I’ll always provide dependable, attentive care and plenty of updates for your peace of mind. Availability: I offer daycare Monday through Sunday Overnight boarding is available Monday through Sunday. I’m committed to providing reliable, attentive care and will always communicate with you about scheduling to ensure the best experience for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and loving environment where pets are treated like family. I understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and personalities, so I take the time to make them feel comfortable and secure while you’re away. Having raised and fostered young puppies and kittens, including bottle-fed rescues, I know how important patience, close supervision, and gentle care are. My home is pet-friendly, and my cats are friendly around dogs. I always prioritize safe introductions, constant supervision, and maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages, so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and receiving the love and attention they deserve.
“Kate provided great care for our two dogs while we were away. She came for four visits and arrived exactly when she said she would. We loved the pictures she sent of our boys playing and appearing to not miss us!”
About: I am a Veterinary Technician by trade so I know a lot about animals. If you have a pet that needs medication or special needs I would be able to offer that service to you. I love animals and have been around them my entire life. I have quite a few animals I take care of when their families go out of town and can provide references. I do work but can do overnights. I can also do evenings and morning drop ins or walks and my days off. We can work with my schedule easily. I won’t be able to have pets in my home because my dog is a rescue who needed to be the only dog in the household. In other peoples homes I go by whatever rules and wishes they have for me.
“Keira provided great services for me and my mom’s kitties. She left just the right amounts of food and the litter boxes were cleaned. It was nice to come home to a fresh smelling house after our weekend away.”
“Ryan was such a great communicator and took excellent care of my three cats! She was attentive, caring, and warm. I felt much better knowing my kitties were taken care of by Ryan while I was gone. I will definitely reach out to her for future visits! 😊”
“Anna was accepted into our family by our german shepherd her first day here. It was nice to see the pictures of our animals from her visits, surprising to us, there was even a picture of one of our cats that does not come out for strangers!”
“Oh my goodness! Amanda and Joshua are fantastic! They went above and beyond to make sure my dog was happy and safe. I have a high strung nervous German Shepherd and Amanda and Joshua took the time to get to know him to ensure my dog was comfortable (and me, too!) I can't recommend Amanda and Joshua enough!! They will be my go-to pet sitters from now on.”
About: Can work with big or small dogs. I am more than willing to meet the animal beforehand to familiarize them with me and my scent. Currently own cats and know how to deal with spicy / scared cats correctly. I am currently working a part time job and am a college student. I can spend plenty of time with your adorable fur babies in my free time. Following all rules and requests owners have given me. Respecting the animal’s boundaries and the house i am in.

“Clairissa was wonderful..........If you want someone who communicates effectively.....loves animals and is just a marvel to work with...look no further.........”
About: Does your dog have separation anxiety? Travel worry-free! I am extremely loving and caring with dogs, no matter their breed, age, or size. I love giving them lots of attention and affection and making them feel comfortable and safe. I also have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety, so I understand the importance of being patient and helping them feel calm when they are away from their owners. Planning a weekend getaway 🚘🐶? Leave your pup with me! Drop off and pick up anytime. I’m available 24 hours and happy to fit your schedule. I live near beautiful trees, enjoy daily long walks, have a comfortable patio, spacious home, and happily welcome dogs on my couch or bed anytime
“Emily was great! She is my first ever pet sitter, I was nervous about one of my pups, but by the end of the weekend he warming up to her! It was nice having someone check on them while I was away! I couldn’t recommend her more!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Joaquin River Estates
My senior dog got sick right before I left out of town. He can be a bit temperamental taking medication. Pamela willingly stepped outside her comfort zone and provided Groot his meds. She consistently communicated, shared pictured, and followed the schedule I requested.
Carolin helped care for our dog for 4 days. She dropped in each day making sure Nova was fed and had water, giving her lots of love and play time. I appreciated the pictures, videos, and notes letting us know how Nova was doing. I would highly recommend Carolin and was very grateful for her help!
Sierra did a great job taking care of my dog and I would highly recommend her to anyone! She showed up for 6 days straight, both morning and night as was agreed to which allowed my out-of-town trip to be worry free. I will definitely use her services again for my future dog sitting needs.

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.
