“Very kind couple that went out of their way in unusual circumstances. They were fantastic with sending pictures and keeping us up to date with our dog Rocky.”
About: I am an avid believer in dog psychology and use it in my daily life with my 2 dogs. I have owned dogs of all shapes and sizes, and try to implement Cesar Milan’s methods in their daily life. At the moment I have one Dachshund - Chihuahua mix, and one apple head chihuahua. I’ve had in the past several bully breeds also. I’ve had rotties, pitties, and even a massive English bull dog. I treat them with dignity and respect but also the most love and cuddles they can handle! I would treat your furry family the same. I work as a part time substitute teacher in a near by district so I know how to handle tough situations. I personally believe mental stimulation for dogs or other animals takes out the same amount of energy for them as regular exercise. I aim for a fulfilling life for all of them! If your pup is needing training, I’m your girl! I am a dog trainer also! ❤️🙌 I am currently working part time and newly married, so I have plenty of time for your fur family! I can work with them any day of the week and don’t usually do a big celebration of holidays so those days are open too! I have a big yard for my fur family and my pups are used to dogs of ALL sizes, are very calm and gentle. My girls are on the older side, but my chihuahua still has lots of spunk! My in-laws I live behind also have a very sweet miniature poodle that loves visitors! If I am coming to your home I can leave or bring my little girls. If your pup is wanting a play mate, me and my fur babies are your girls! Both of my fur babies are spayed and up to date on all shots and flea/ tick meds. If your fur baby is shy but still wants friends, my dachshund is your girl! She is trained as a therapeutic service animal and knows when to give a new friend some space. If your pup is needing their own time with a trainer or support person, that would be me! I am a dog trainer also on the side.
About: I have been a pet sitter since I was in middle school for friends and family alike. Animal experience from dogs and cats to reptiles and birds. Some aquatic. I can also provide basic dog training. With currently working part time, I have the flexibility to take dogs for a walk or do some training at various times during the day. The welcoming crew at my house consists of two dogs and two cats. All co-exist and are super friendly rescues. Tundra (my husky mix) loves to play. We also have a fish tank they can enjoy for entertainment. I will treat yours as well as I would my own.
About: I have taken care of 25+ dogs and cats in the past 3 years, to include in home/overnight pet- and house-sitting, dog walking, brushing, litter box maintenance and pill-based medication administration. When taking care of other people’s pets, I provide the attention and care that I was seeking for my own cat and dog (who, sadly, are no longer with me.) My top priority is the safety of the pet, and to that end, I take no risks with the animals in my care – food protocols are carefully followed, walks are always on leash and doors are carefully monitored to ensure indoor cats remain indoors. With my pet care services, you will have: • Happy, safe and well-cared-for pets • A clean and orderly (tidy) home • Clear and timely communication • Regular and frequent updates (with photos and videos of your pets) • Reliable and dependable pet and home care As a recently-retired educator, I have a very flexible schedule, with plenty of time for your pets. I am available for daily walks, overnight or weekend house sits (your house or mine) and vacation sits (1-4 weeks is typical). When starting a new relationship with a client and their pet(s), I schedule a brief ‘pop over’ appointment where I can meet the animal(s) in the presence of their humans. This helps everyone involved – pets and humans – get to know me and feel comfortable with me before I take on the responsibility for the pet. I take care to be calm around the pets I sit - I let both cats and dogs take their time to warm up to me (come to me when they are ready, sniff my hands, my person, my things). I am careful when feeding animals - particularly dogs - giving them space. I follow the pet's routine - if they sleep on the bed, I let them sleep on the bed; if they like to go in and out frequently, I let them go in and out frequently. I try to make them as comfortable as I can, in their human's absence.
About: Hi neighbors! When I’m not in the classroom, I’m hanging out with my 6-year-old Chihuahua and enjoying the outdoors. Since I have some extra time [on weekends/this summer], I’d love to help care for your furry family members! Reliable & Patient: Years of experience managing classrooms (and one sassy Chihuahua). Flexible: Available for walks, potty breaks, or pet sitting. Local: Right here in the neighborhood! Message me for rates and availability. I can't wait to meet your pups! PM me if you need a hand with: Afternoon walks Feeding/Check-ins Weekend sitting I have time after school and on weekends to care for your pet! The "Safety Check" Protocol: Upon arrival, I do a quick sweep of the "danger zones" (ensuring trash cans are closed, loose items are off the floor, and gates are secure). Routine Consistency: I stick strictly to your pet’s schedule. Whether it's the exact time for a pill or the specific way they like their ears scratched, I maintain their "home-school" routine to minimize anxiety. Communication: You’ll get "Report Cards" (updates and photos) after every visit so you know exactly how they’re doing. Property Respect: As a professional, I leave your home exactly as I found it—well-guarded and tidy.
About: I have such a great experience with animals that I want to help others out when they need it. I care for them as if they were my own. Dogs have a special place in my heart. I have a spunky 1 year old Aussie who LOVES everyone and anyone. We are so welcoming to different breeds and different animals. I am CPR certified. If they’re energetic, well so am I! If they’re lazy, well so am I! I will work around their needs and fit their lifestyle to make them feel at home. Being comfortable is one of my main things when it comes to animals. I love the outdoors so walks and playing outside will be a daily thing!! We can even play doggy games! I am available 24/7 for your animals needs and wants. Please feel free to request any care needed at anytime for your fur babies. I am always by phone to answer any call/texts needed answered while they’re in my care. I am very well trained with animals and am very considerate of their needs/special requests. I would love to make your dog feel at home so please let me know any and every detail about them!
About: I currently work as a k-9 trainer and have gone through k-9 handler school, I have been walking dogs/ house sitting for years I work full time as a K-9 trainer, week days I am typically free after 3 and weekends I normally have full availability due to my job this can vary so feel free to inquire on what works Due to specifics of my job I would not be able to house your dogs at my place but am perfectly comfortable with caring for them in your home, I work at a kennels around hundreds of dogs I am very confident in the care of your pet
“Jessica was awesome! We had to travel last minute so I was so thankful when she accepted our request. Our pups were well loved, she sent lots of photos, and she took care of everything just like we asked. Thank you so much!!”
“This is the 2nd time Tim has taken care of our pups & I can not say enough about him! For years our family has not taken any trips all together because of worrying about our pets. At least one of us would have to stay back with them. Now that we’ve found someone that we can trust we can FINALLY all go together as a whole family! I am so grateful to Tim & the memories I’ve been able to make with my grandchildren! Tim is so kind & patient with our emotionally high maintenance dogs. In the past, no one could even get our bulldog to come out of his crate if we weren’t here & our rescue pup is terrified of everyone outside of our family but in a short period of time Tim had completely won them over. They absolutely love him! Tim is professional, reliable & excellent at giving updates with photos. I really appreciate him & everything that he does for our family! I will definitely be asking him for his help again in the future!”
“Luis was excellent! He took extra steps to make sure my boys were comfortable when there was fireworks going outside when he didn’t have to. Luis was professional and my boys seemed to really like him. I would 100% recommend him to anyone in need of his services!”
“This was my first time leaving my cat alone with anyone other than myself, so I was extremely nervous but Shauna was amazing! Instantly made me feel comfortable and I loved the report card aspect Rover offers. I came back after a little under a week and Seraphine was as happy as can be. Will be rebooking for my next trip for sure 🩷”
About: I have worked with dogs and cats for over 8 years! I love getting to know new pets, and taking it at their pace until they're comfortable with me. I have extensive experience in canine enrichment, and helping with basic manners (sitting at doorway, leash control, "focus".) I also am Pet First Aid certified! I can't wait to meet your fur-end! I'm currently working full time at a dog daycare/lodging facility. I can normally be free after 7pm any day of the week, and sporadic days off normally during the week. I am very passionate, gentle, and patient! I'm more than glad to accommodate your pet in any way necessary to ensure their happiness and comfort.
About: I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and make sure owners stay updated with photos and messages. I have a flexible routine that allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and check-ins, and I make sure pets get the care and attention they need while their owners are away. I focus on keeping pets comfortable by following their normal routine as closely as possible. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, get plenty of attention, exercise, bathroom breaks, and playtime, while also keeping their space clean and secure. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I have had my dog Scooter for 9 years. He is a Dachshund who has lived with dogs as big as a Newfie/Saint Bernard as well as small dogs like pugs. I haven't found one that he hasn't gotten along with. I can provide a wide range of services and live only 5 minutes from work so I can usually stop home every couple hours to meet the needs of your pet. When I go out of town I know the level of comfort I need to leave my dog with someone so I will go above and beyond to make sure your pet enjoys their time and you have peace of mind in whatever service I can provide to you. I look forward to working with you and your pets!
“Jessica is an absolute Rockstar Wonderful work ethics, she came in when i needed help very last minute and assured me that my dogs will be in good hands and she is 100% right she cared for then and took care of them like her own Thank you, Jessica!!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Oaks
While planning my vacation, I faced the uncertainty of not finding anyone to care after my pets—three fish tanks (55, 20, and 10 gallons) and a Russian Tortoise—since I could only find caretakers for dogs and cats. Thanks to Gabriela, I was able to enjoy my vacation; she was willing to feed my fish and tortoise by visiting my home every two days until I returned. During each visit, she sent me text messages updating me on their well-being, which gave me peace of mind to keep enjoying my trip without worrying about who was feeding them while I was away. Without a doubt, I would trust Gabriela with their care again...

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.
