“Sherri was absolutely fantastic! Our Poppy is still so small and requires a great deal of care and attention, and Sherri was exceptional in providing us updates, the best pics, and most importantly loving our Poppy in our absence. And dog owner would be so fortunate to have Sherri care for their fur babies! She is the best!”
“Chelsea is amazing! She's extremely flexible and understanding/accommodating. She was loved by our fur babies upon the meet & greet. She is definitely our "GO TO" for our fur babies Ozin and LuLu.”
“Jessica did an amazing job with our two large dogs. They took right to her when she first met her and we had no issues with her taking care of them while we were gone. This is the first time we have used Rover to have someone come to our home while we were away and we are not disappointed one bit. We made sure to read reviews of all the sitters available in our area before choosing Jessica. We had a meet and greet with her and our pups to make sure it was a good fit, and we have to say, we made the right choice. She answered promptly, and when asked if she minded checking our mail one day when we had expected something important, she didn’t hesitate. Would definitely use her again.”
“Michael did a great job! My dog’s love him! When I’m away, Duke only eats for him. He gives them baths also. Sometimes I’m gone working 3-4 days a week. I know that they are in good hands. That’s always a relief for me. My 3 dogs are so happy to see him. He has been watching them for 4 years now!! Thank you!”
“I completely dropped the ball today and didn’t answer my phone when Lilyanna was trying to get ahold of me. She was so patient and kind and even stayed a bit later with the pups. Absolutely wonderful person and we always appreciate her help!”
About: Lifelong dog and cat owner experienced with daily care, walks, feeding, medications, and giving pets patient, loving attention in a safe, dependable, and caring environment. After a long career in public education, I’m embracing this next chapter with open arms — and open doors. Your cats and dogs won’t just be watched; they’ll be genuinely enjoyed, with all the time and attention they deserve.” Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. As a retired educator, I bring the same watchful eye and calm, steady presence to every visit that I brought to the classroom for years. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a drop-in visit, you can count on me to show up, pay attention, and treat your pets — and your home — with the utmost respect and care.
“Christine was an absolute delight to communicate with, and we trust her implicitly with caring for our pet dog and cat, both are senior animals who require medication and special attention. Christine was quick to respond to our inquiries, and left thorough notes for each visit. We highly recommend Christine to anyone who needs pet care assistance.”
“Where do I start on how wonderful Sheena is with my 3 dogs, Foxy, Houdini and Freddie! My dogs lover her and she goes above and beyond to make sure they have fun, do their business and the dogs are ready for bed with no muss or fuss! Sheena's photos each day are so good, she just captures them and how thrilled they are to be with her! I recommend Sheena highly and would give her 100 stars if I could. You will not be disappointed if Sheena is available to help you with your pups. Jo”
About: Hi I’m Michayla! I’m 28 and live in central Austin. I have spent much of my time in my childhood, teen years and adulthood, looking after various types of dogs. Growing up I had a Chihuahua mix, a large lab, a great Dane and French bulldog. I have a lot of experience with keeping a timely schedule for walks, feeding times and medication intake. I currently do not have any pets so I have a lot of availability to accommodate your pets needs. I only work part time in the evenings (4pm-11pm). I work exclusively in the evening at a restaurant that only does dinner service, so I have plenty of time to take your little one on long walks if need. I live in a neighborhood lots of outdoor spaces and pet friendly shops! I have a pet friendly apartment. I am also very time oriented so your little one will always be fed or given medication at the exact time they need to be.
About: Having had both a pet cat and dog since I was a young child, I have a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. This firsthand experience sets me apart as a pet sitter, as I am passionate about providing them with love and attention, and I have special skills in caring for cats and dogs of all ages. I have also been trusted by family and friends to take care of their pets for extended periods of time. You can trust that your pet will receive top-notch care and affection under my watch! I have a flexible schedule this summer that allows me to prioritize pet care. Additionally, I am available to accommodate unexpected events or emergencies, ensuring that pets receive the care they need when they need it. When caring for pets, I prioritize their safety, trust, and well-being. In the client's home, I maintain their pet's routine and preferences, ensuring a familiar and stress-free experience. With attention to their needs and lots of love, I create a comfortable environment where pets can thrive.
“The BEST! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Emily! I’m pretty sure our fur children love her more than they love us but all kidding aside, she is attentive to all details and truly loves our animals. We have a wild English bulldog who is still living his best life on a high level of puppy energy and she is so wonderful with him. I do not worry about them at all when we are away and love all of the updates and pictures she shares. Not to mention our house is usually tidier than before we left. Truly a wonderful sitter!”
About: If I could live on a farm with a billion different animals I would. I can assure you that no harm will come to your furbabies while they remain in my care. I’m a big pet person and I enjoy being a rover sitter very much. If your pets are able we can always go on a car ride, visit a park or just grab a pup cup/ice cream. I’m very responsible and passionate when it comes to being a pet sitter….you will receive plenty of pictures and videos so you can see how their day is going. Looking forward to meeting your family!! Thank you for your consideration. PLEASE FOLLOW MY DOGSITTING INSTAGRAM PAGE OR SHARE WITH OTHER DOG OWNERS. Ig: TAYLORFURBABIES I have an 4 yearold that likes dogs so sometimes he gets to join me when I pet sit or when they come to our home. He loves being apart of feeding and walking the pets…I love it! I currently do Rover full time. I provide a lot of attention and care as needed. If they have a schedule I stick to it and I just try to make the pet feel comfortable or at home.
About: I have taken care of my own and others pets for 50+ years. I have 3 indoor dogs of my own and have become the official ball thrower to the smallest of my pets because she loves to play fetch. I also care for the Hummingbirds yearly that visit my yard from March till September. I have a full time job but can feed, walk and care for your pets needs after 5 on weekdays and all weekend beginning at 5 on Friday evening. I will care for your pets with as much love as I do my own. Pets are our family and need to be treated and loved as we would our own. I will honor all likes, food choices and instructions given regarding the animals in your home.
About: Growing up with both dogs & cats my entire life, I’ve been around a variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I work well with every animal I come across and enjoy caring for any & all — this includes experience with puppy care & training! I’m kind, fun-loving, sociable, and can adapt based on an animal’s needs. I lead with compassion for animals & their owns alike. From family to friends, I always ensure your fur baby is looked after with the utmost of care. As I’m currently working from home, I am readily available for walks, check-ins, house sitting, and boarding throughout the day/night. Overnight stays are no issue here either! Depending on the instructions received from the owner(s), I will be sure to follow any necessary requirements to ensure your pet is looked after & loved for the time that I am there. Whether it’s forms of training, being let in & out, walks, check-ins, etc. - nothing is ever too much. Favorite treats, toys & activities are to be followed to make sure your pet (or pets) is as comfortable & happy as can be!
About: My family has had animals my whole life. Besides being the sibling most responsible for the animals (both dogs and cats), I also would walk and sit for my neighbors dogs as well. Now that I’m an adult, I still have and care for my own animals and would love to help you with yours when you need an extra hand. I work days during the week and have weekends free to help with your animals when you’re out of town. I can also do some evenings if you’re planning a date night or out of town for work. I have two dogs and two cats. Rather than shock your pet at my home, I’d prefer to come to you and care for them as you see fit. I can walk, play, and feed them.
About: DOGS WITHOUT LOVE ARE LIKE HUMANS WITHOUT PURPOSE! I absolutely love dogs. I have a thirteen year old miniature Australian Shepard who thinks he is my third child and is treated as such. I am 47 years old and have a rewarding career in plastic/reconstructive surgery, but also realize that caring for fur babies is yet another true passion in which I truly enjoy! Fur babies need lots of love and attention as well as activity through play dates, park time, hiking, walking swimming etc. Additional Services Include: Groomer drop off and pick up, vet visit transportation and attendance, medication administration and bathing are also offered. I am also available for meet and greets preceding scheduled services. I am available on nights, weekends and holidays. I DO NOT board more than one family’s dogs at a time. Therefore, you do not have to worry about safety. It is in the best interest of your fur baby to not be exposed to others in which could result in physical injury and or harm and or contagious illnesses. Rest assured, your fur babies are completely safe with me. Pictures and reports of your fur babies are sent to you on a daily basis! Fur babies should feel loved and cared for in the absence of their owners much like a doggie vaca! An experienced pet sitter that you can get to know, trust and feel comfortable with whom is much like family is a necessity! I work in the medical field and have the ability to adjust my flexible schedule to accommodate my pet clients needs and or requests on a client to client basis. At the present time-I am not offering boarding services in my home. I believe pets feel more comfortable and at ease in their own homes where they are familiar with their surroundings and specific care instructions will vary per client request which is discussed during our meet and greet session.

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.
