“Jovi always takes great care of my dogs. I receive lots of pictures of my dogs, which gives me peace of mind. Jovi always takes out the trash and cleans up after my animals. I appreciate all she does.”
“Elizabeth is amazing! We loved looking at her updates and pictures. We could tell our boys were so loved and well taken care of while we were away. She even helped with a hot spot issue on one of our dogs, just so helpful and because of Elizabeth we were able to truly relax on our trip! We will definitely book her again!!”
“Audra was as sweet as can be, and just as wonderful as can be to my baby! Although my dog is standoffish and not as warm to strangers, Audra was able to get her to be friendly and polite during her stay. I would strongly recommend her as a sitter any day of the week!”
“We appreciate Jasmine and all of her hard work so much. She is extremely flexible and responsive, and takes great care of our pets. Thank you Jasmine! You rock! 🙂”
“Jiselle stepped in for a few weeks while our regular walker was unavailable. She was accommodating to our schedule with Chico and was willing to be flexible with the timing of things due to the hot weather. Definitely going to consider her again for future needs! 😊 Thank you Jiselle!”
“Heather was awesome! She took great care of my cats and kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly loves animals. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and had total peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely book Heather again and highly recommend her!”
About: Hi there! I’m a certified veterinary assistant and veterinary technician with over 4 years of experience in veterinary medicine and approximately 7 years of hands on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. As both a veterinary professional and a dog owner myself, I understand that every dog has unique needs, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m experienced in administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, recognizing early signs of illness or discomfort, and caring for senior pets and dogs with medical needs. Whether your pup is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I provide calm, attentive care tailored to them. My goal is to treat every dog like family and give you complete peace of mind knowing they’re in experienced, compassionate hands. I work full time at an all feline hospital and also work at a veterinary emergency hospital. I’ve been working full time since I was 18. If you want me to be more specific, I even had my own business in dog training and grooming when I was 16! I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection. My goal isn’t just to ‘check in’ on your pet, it’s to provide the same level of attentive, compassionate care I’d want for my own animals.
About: My family and I have had dogs since I was a kid. I’ve lived with up to 5 dogs at a time. Now, I am the proud momma of two cats, Zoe and Emma. You can describe me as the millennial whose sole purpose is to provide a full and fun life for my fur babies. At this time, I am a full time student and on my off days I hope to care for and go on walks with your fur babies. I plan my responsibilities ahead of time, so my calendar will be updated regularly to give you the most updated availability. I am always aware and present during my time with pets. I will prioritize their safety and well-being. I would love to have meet and greets where you tell me all about your specific concerns and we can talk about how I can help ease those concerns!
“Megan was AMAZING with our puppy Beau. She was on time and did everything we asked of her. Beau seemed to have a blast with her by the looks of the check-in pictures!! It is so hard to find trustworthy people and Megan gave us peace of mind while we were away, we will definitely be recommending and rebooking her!!!”
“This was the first time I had to find a sitter for my babies. It has been difficult especially since my sons are in law enforcement they were very skeptical about having me bring in someone I did not know into my home. I looked through many profiles and found Sylvia. I am extremely surprised on how well Dodger and Nala have been around Sylvia ESPECIALLY DODGER LOL They both have been very comfortable around her and that makes me feel better. Thank you Sylvia”
About: Growing up, I was surrounded by lots of dogs—big and small. I am comfortable assessing how a dog will react based on their personalities and temperaments. I’m currently working part time, so I have lots of availability during the work week! As an animal lover, this job feels like the perfect fit. I have a fenced in yard and three dogs (2 dashchunds and a golden retriever) at home to keep your puppy company. I also have crates if needed.
“My pup loves her already and I am excited for future bookings with her! Melissa is punctual & has a sweet / caring presence that speaks to my fur baby who has anxiety and typically takes time to warm up to people! Thank you for the cute pics too, Melissa!”
About: Welcome to my page! I have taken care of pets belonging to family members and neighbors, and it's always a very pleasant experience to love on the pets and see them excited and relaxed when I'm with them. Besides taking care of their basic needs, I'll make sure they get all the cuddles they deserve! 🐾 I'm currently a SAHM looking to have some income while enjoying loving on pets. I will use the time I have available while my daughter is in school and/or extra curricular activities. I would like to meet the pets (and the owners) for the first time before booking, to ensure it's a good fit for all, and there's trust between the humans and the fur babies.
About: Hi! My name is Sophia and I'd love to take care of your fur babies! I currently work at an emergency pet hospital which makes me a good option for knowing if your baby is not feeling too good or is taking medication. I've also volunteered at the animal shelter for a few years cleaning kennels and walking dogs. I also volunteered at the medical room and helped pre and post surgerys. In addition, I also graduated in Animal Science from UC Davis. I have always loved animals and would love to take care of yours. I am currently on summer break from college so I am available anytime to take care of your pets! I can work mornings or nights. If your fur baby was in my home, I have one dog and he's super sweet and does well with other dogs. I take him on a walk at least once a day and would do the same for yours. I can adjust to your preferences if you'd prefer special diet for your pets such as bland chicken and rice, if they prefer to be inside or outside and play with them as frequent as possible.
About: Hello my name is Ivanna, I’m 33 years old. I have extensive experience caring for dogs and have loved animals since I was a little girl. Caring for dogs has always been something that brings me genuine happiness, and I truly enjoy building strong bonds with them while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved.

My responsibilities include taking dogs on walks, feeding them, playing with them, providing companionship and attention, and making sure they are comfortable and safe while their owners are away. I am also comfortable providing baths when needed and administering prescribed oral medications according to the owner’s instructions. I always make sure pets receive the care, patience, and attention they need throughout my visit.

Another amazing experience with our dog sitter! ❤️ She continues to go above and beyond for our pup, and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. Her communication is always great, she’s reliable, and it’s clear how much she genuinely cares about our dog. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands, especially with our busy Navy schedules. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our fur baby. Highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring sitter! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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 .

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.
