About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to sweet senior dogs. I’m also comfortable managing multiple pets at once and making sure each one gets the attention they deserve. I truly see dogs and cats as part of the family, and I treat every pet in my care like my own—with love, patience, and plenty of attention. I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. Pet care is part of my daily routine, so your dog will have plenty of supervision, companionship, and care. I’m able to take regular breaks for walks, playtime, and check-ins, ensuring your pet stays happy and comfortable. I tailor my care to each pet’s needs, routine, and personality. In my home, pets receive lots of attention, regular walks or potty breaks, and a calm, safe environment. I make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like they would at home. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely—from feeding schedules to walks, medications, and preferred routines. I’m respectful, clean, and treat both your pet and your home with care. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing whether at my home or yours.
“My VIP pet sitter! She always does an excellent job and pays attention to every detail. 100% recommend her. This is already the sixth time she has cared for my girls, and I trust her completely!”
“Fantastic! Jennifer showed my 12 year old sheltie so much love . She also administered his insulin and his eye drops. She visited my house twice a day to feed & walk him. Took pics and videos and sent them to me. I'm So happy I found a great sitter.”
“Noelle has been so good with our 2 dogs! One of our dogs can be reactive and she has been amazing at understanding her behaviors. I look forward to booking with her again!”

“Shirley is so great with my old boy, Hank!! She’s always on time and makes sure to keep me up to date on everything so I don’t have to worry a bit while I’m gone. She really cares for my boy, goes above and beyond and I never have to worry about his well being in her care!”
About: Lover of all breeds, I am a stay at home dog mom with lots of time on my hands to bring patience and a gentle touch to dog sitting. I am very skilled in training and flexible with time, I prioritize clear communication with pet owners for their peace of mind. I’d love to care and love on your fur babies 🐾🤍 Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule because I have the flexibility to dedicate my time to it. I currently have weekend availability and full holiday availability! I currently don’t have any other job and about to prioritize pet care full time. At home, I ensure my pets' safety by creating a trusting environment. I pay close attention to their needs and provide a secure space for them to eat, sleep and play. This routine and environment helps to build trust and a safe haven for them.
“Sure! Here’s a slightly shorter version that works well for Rover: We had a great experience with Linda. Our dogs received lots of attention and loving care, and the frequent photo updates gave us total peace of mind. When we returned, their behavior made it clear they were happy and well cared for. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend!”
“Amanda will be my new “Drop-in” sitter. She followed all instruction exactly as I left it and was so nice and patient with my 2 dogs. My girls are very routine based and particular, she went above and beyond to help in just her one hour of service.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats my entire life! I have such love for all the fur babies in the world. I have 2 dogs, a 13yo poodle and a 7yo blue/red healer. Im good with all ages of dogs. I am currently unemployed so I have plenty of time to take care and play with your pets. I would love to make your fur babies a part of my daily routine :) I would care for your pet in your home just like I would care for mine. I would take time to get to know your pet and allow them to trust me. I would clean up any messed the animals make. And give them love and affection like they were my own
“Adriana is fantastic! She is incredibly professional and communicates before, during, and after her visits. She is responsible and reliable, and I know I can trust her to take care of my dog, Milton, when I’m gone for a long day.”
About: I have always had multiple cats and dogs growing up, I have experience since 8 years old, bottle feeding, fostering, and caring for senior pets. I currently have 10 rescue animals of my own: 2 dogs, 5 cats, 2 bunnies, and 1 large turtle who lives in an in-ground pond I built in our backyard. I truly love helping care for animals and will treat your babies just like my own! I have a super flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to spend with your fur babies! Long walks, fetch out back, or a cuddle inside—I’ll make sure they’re well cared for and comfortable before I leave. I am always extremely cautious entering and exiting homes, so no worries about escape artists! I never bother an animal who doesn’t want affection and will be as patient as necessary to build a bond. I do my best to match the energy of your pet to keep them as comfortable as possible.
About: I grew up with large dog breeds my whole life. The first pet of my own as an adult was a 1.5 year old German shepherd/siberian husky mix with a lot of resource guarding tendencies. He has taught me so much about communicating with dogs and working around their comfort. I am used to walking a large, reactive dog with no trouble. I am also a new cat mom in the recent year and have a new love for felines too! :) I lost my job of 3.5 years and struggling to find something that fits into my life with my wife’s recent cancer diagnosis and treatment regimen. I can make myself available any day or any time and appreciate the flexibility pet sitting and walking will provide me. Proper equipment is necessary to ensure safety of your dogs on walks. I won’t utilize any equipment I’m not familiar with and properly trained in

Adriana is the best! She’s a great communicator and is so reliable which is such a relief when you’re far away from your pets. She is so good with our two big dogs and our cat, they love her! She’s accommodating with medications/ food prep/ walking schedules. I can’t recommend her more!
Great communication, our Samson and Sadie love Ashley and we are so happy we found her and are back to using Rover! Ashley went above and beyond with mail and packages left at the door for us as well, when she didn’t have to. Thank you Ashley will see you again soon.
Joy is an absolute JOY to work with. Her attention to detail is fantastic and you can tell she truly cares about animals. She took amazing care of my 2 kitty girls while my family was on vacation 🩷 I’m so grateful for her and the care she gave my babies while I was away. I look forward to working with Joy again in the near future!!
I cannot say enough about how wonderful Catherine is - my cat Max loves her, and she is simply amazing with him. She always gives him so much attention and affection when she is caring for him. I love getting the pictures, notes and updates each time she drops in to care for him. He was comfortable around her from day one ; I have had her look after my fur baby several times already and I will be rebooking with her again. Thank you, Catherine.
I cannot recommend Kari enough. She was willing to work with me last minute, and then went above and beyond while watching my crazies. I have three dogs that have just moved across the country, two of them are geriatric, and they were leaving masses all over the place. Kari it took care of it like a champ, even offered to help clean and put a load of wash in, etc. Bringing her own mop to make sure the house was left in better condition she found it in while simultaneously taking such good care of my babies. As a sitter on her, Myself, I would have to say that this is exactly the type of person you want watching your pets. ❤️ thanks Kari, I will definitely be reaching out to you again soon!
Allison took excellent care of my pets - dropping in multiple times a day and even going above and beyond picking up after there mini house renovations and bathroom stops outside! She managed multiple feeding scheudles and meds. Our pets were stress free during our trip because of Allison's care. We will be continuing to book with Allison for our pet care.
Ilene is the best! She meet with us ahead of time to introduce herself and meet our 4 babies before our vacation. She was so kind and communicated every step of the way. We felt so at ease while we were away! She took pictures and gave updates. Ilene is a true animal lover and we will definitely be rebooking with her! Thank you so much for Ilene for your care for our babies while we were away!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sanford stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
