About: I love caring for all dogs as if they were my own. I have years of experience with my own dogs as well as with friends dogs. I walk, bathe, take care of over night if that’s what your pet needs. I’m fully committed to making this my full time job. Every day I am available and willing to travel as far as 15miles for walks and check ins. Also for boarding, they can spend the night and have a great time with me and my beautiful border collie. I have a big fenced backyard with doggy door access. A crate if that’s what you prefer. My dog is very friendly and loves to play. If you want me to drop by your home and check in to feed, bathe, administer medicine, or just simply play time. If they need a walk as well.
“Sierra is great. I’m a return customer. She is reliable and great with the animals she also does a great job of keeping in touch with us while she’s watching our fur babies.”
“We’re always so happy when you can watch Rocky. He’s happy to see you. You give him attention. You take lots of pictures! Thank you! Until next time—Angie”
About: Since I was little I’ve always wanted to make sure that animals were taken care of and I want the best for that dog or cat I’ve got a dog of my own I spoil her she is still kicking today. If your animals are in my care you will expect them to be loved on and they will have lots of fun and I’ll make sure that they get there Exercise they need and all the food and water till there hearts desire. I’ll make sure they are safe and healthy and I’ll play with them till they are done. Me as a person is really nice to pets and I want the best for every dog I come across. Live laugh and love is what I always say.
“We were a little nervous at first with booking drop-in visits through Rover because we have only ever had our dogs taken care of by close friends and family while we were away. From our initial meet and greet, our 70 pound dogs (a senior Lab mix and a 3 year old extremely hyper Doberman) immediately took a liking to Samantha. She gave us such a wonderful first experience with drop-in visits that we now have the peace of mind from having someone that we could depend on and trust with our fur-babies. She was very punctual with our scheduled drop-ins to feed and water them. She also provided a whole lot of love, attention, and playtime. We received updates and entertaining pictures for the visits so we did not have to worry about anything and we knew they were in great hands.”
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 taken care of my family dogs, big and small since I was old enough to pour their dog food. Now, I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I am currently a college student on summer vacation so I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule to take care of your pet as needed. I have a large fenced-in yard safe for any size dog to run and play in. Additionally, I am happy to accommodate indoor dogs as needed.
“Ericka was great with our boys and made this first experience for all of us very lovely(: She went the extra mile to make sure our two cats would be comfortable while we were away. She was able to administer medicine to our shy boy successfully which was such a relief!! Definitely recommend her if you have cats who have particular needs. Very reliable and flexible with your time !”
“Abagail was amazing!! She checked in on our 3 pets and sent update pictures each time. We have an older, grumpy chihuahua and she was very patient with him. All the pets were comfortable with her from the start. We will definitely be using her again.”
“Katriana is amazing! She came by before our trip to meet all the fur babies, see where everything was that is needed to take care of the babies and to reassure me that my babies were in good hands. I felts 100% comfortable leaving all my babies in her hands and the stress that I was feeling was eliminated after meeting her. Our fur babies were loved and taken care of while we were out of town. Katriana is tentative, respectful, reassuring, and loving. I would recommend her to everyone that is looking for a wonderful pet sitter because she goes above and beyond.”
“Mel was great! Very attentive to my baby’s care instructions and sent lots of pictures. She’s a shy kitty but warmed up to him so quickly. Definitely recommend!”
About: Hi, my name is Ishel! I’ve loved animals my entire life and have 26 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, including puppies. I truly enjoy spending time with animals, whether that’s going on walks, playing, giving baths, feeding them, or simply giving them lots of love and attention. I treat every pet in my care like they’re part of my own family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me. I have three dogs of my own who are on a regular schedule and are very well trained, so I’m already used to keeping up with daily routines and taking care of multiple pets. I work 1–2 days a week, which gives me plenty of time to be home and give the pets in my care plenty of love, attention, playtime, and care. I’m happy to follow their normal routine so they feel comfortable, happy, and right at home. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they are in a safe, clean, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s routine, keep a close eye on them, and make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and care. I’m especially comfortable caring for dogs, including puppies and dogs with different personalities and energy levels.
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 love my dogs and I will love yours to!! Your family member will have a great place to stay, and somebody to play with. They will be well taken care of and have everything they will need, food, water, outside, pet scratches, and belly rubs. We will be taking walks in a lovely neighborhood and spend some time at the park. You may not want them to stay to long or they may not want to go home. I look forward to taking in your family members while you are out of town or taking care of business. Either way you can rest easy knowing your beloved animals are here with me and in a safe place, I will be more than happy to do so! Thank you for your time and hope I’m a good match for you and your fur babies. I currently have free time at my home so I would love to spend some time with a friendly pet. I am currently a stay at home mom. I like to give attention when attention is needed to pets. If they want to play I will play with them or if they need to go out to potty, I will take them out. Anything your pet needs I will be there.
About: I love both cats and dogs and I have taken care of them for both neighbors and family members for the past 15 years. I would love to get to meet your pets and help take care of them while you are away! I work a remote job and have the ability to go take care of your pet as often as you need! I am excited to get to know them. I have a fenced yard and I live in a great neighborhood where I can walk them every morning and night! I can also play with them in the backyard.
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and can’t imagine life without them! I’ve had my own dog for 5 years now and there aren’t many days we don’t go on our daily walk. While living abroad, I also helped walk and dog sit for my neighbor whenever she was away. I treat every pup like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, care, and attention. Right now I have a very flexible schedule, which means I can easily fit in walks, drop-ins, or overnight care throughout the week. I love spending time outdoors and with dogs, so I make pet care a regular part of my day. As my schedule changes down the road, I’ll be sure to keep my availability up to date so you always know when I’m open for bookings. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I always follow their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I make sure to respect your space and keep things just the way you like them. Whether it’s feeding, walks, or playtime, I stick to your pet’s normal schedule and give them plenty of attention and care while you’re away.
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.
