“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
“Our cat, Baby, is very shy and tends to hide under the bed when new people or Rover sitters visit. I was very pleased that she didn’t hide from Shannon every day. Shannon is kind, resourceful, and we recommend her!”
About: I am a Mom of 2 kids and 2 dogs (Vizsla's). I have had dogs, cats and birds my whole life and love all animals. I recently left the corporate world and would love to care for some fur babies while searching for my next opportunity. I would be happy to walk, play indoors/outdoors and care for your pets - whatever you need to keep them happy and safe. My kids and dogs will not be with me during walks or house visits. I am available weekdays Monday-Friday 9am-3pm for house visits or walks. I can play with your pet indoors or outdoors or walk 30-45 minutes around the neighborhood. Safety will be a top priority either in your home, backyard or on a walk in your neighborhood. I will follow all directions given to me by the owner.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every breed, size, and ability since I was a child. I volunteered at an animal shelter for several years where I administered medication, bathed, provided food and water to each dog’s dietary needs, and provided comfort to distressed animals of all kinds. I am an online student with a lot of free time, so I can provide services at any time of day, 24/7. I will be able to provide care at any time necessary as long as I’m given enough time to prepare. I try to take dogs out for a 45 minute walk every 4 hours or to the owner’s request, provide treats, and feed animals when I arrive in the morning and before I leave in the evening. I play with them several times throughout the day whether it be inside the owner’s home or out in a fenced in yard or park.

I have managed responsibilities including feeding, walking, playing, and administering basic medications.

I’m currently available for drop in visits until August 20 and then will be available again December-January and summer of 2027! Looking forward to meeting your pets! I will make sure to take each dog on as long of a walk as needed. I can take them where ever they are most comfortable or familiar with.

About: Since the age of 8 years old based on my personal experience of having 3 dogs in my family & always one call away from my friends to take care of their fur babies — I have always found it and honor and pleasure to do so! I understand that these babies are a priority and will never be treated less than. They deserve the world and I couldn’t imagine a life without them. When taking care of your fur baby I am committed to providing the utmost exceptional care and will communicate with the owner as much as they request to — so that they can feel secure that their baby is safe while they’re away. I a full time grad student currently looking for more job opportunities that align with my school schedule. On Tuesdays & Thursdays I am on campus starting at 4pm. One of my rules of thumb in life is respect. I do not take it lightly to be considered and hired to look after your fur baby. Whichever way the owner asks that I care for their pet is exactly what I will do. I pride myself in being very responsible and genuine.
About: I have had dogs my entire life. I work from home so I’m always available for your fur baby. I live in Flemington with a big fenced in yard which is great for running around and play time. I also will go on leashed walks around the neighborhood. There are lots of toys here and will treat your baby like my own. I’m currently a fur mom to two year old Penny. She is a 12 pound Havanese who loves other dogs. She will play and love your fur baby while they are in my home. I do prefer to watch smaller dogs that are under 40 pounds if possible. Thank you. I work from home so I have lots of time to take the dogs out in the backyard, play with them and go on leashed walks. My dog is my baby and I will treat yours the same. I have a fenced in large backyard so your dog will be safe. I also have a 12 lb Havanese that will love playing with your fur baby.
“She did an amazing job with our dog Buddy! You will get the best photos of your pet just like we did. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry! Thank you so much!”
“Stephanie is a GEM. She took amazing care of Clio, went above and beyond, bringing treats for our chickens, and writing thoughtful (and reassuring) notes for us. She is an excellent communicator, loves animals and caring for them, and we will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and have always had multiple dogs of my own, so I’m very comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and personalities. Over the years, I’ve dog sat and house sat for multiple families, handling everything from daily walks and feeding schedules to overnight care and keeping pets on their normal routines. I’ve also worked closely with a professional dog trainer, which has given me a strong understanding of dog behavior, structure, and how to handle different temperaments. Including high-energy dogs and those that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m experienced with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with things like basic training reinforcement, administering medications if needed, and adjusting care based on each dog’s individual 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.
