About: What sets me apart is the combination of a genuinely flexible schedule, a safe fenced home environment, and two friendly resident dogs who help new pets settle in quickly and feel less anxious. I'm patient and attentive with dogs of all ages and energy levels—comfortable with the extra patience senior dogs often need (mobility, medication reminders, gentler walks) as well as the consistency and structure young or newly-trained pups thrive on. I treat every pet like my own, prioritize their normal routine, and communicate closely with owners throughout their stay. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I have a flexible schedule. I build my days around consistent feeding times, walks, and playtime, so your pet gets reliable attention whenever they need it—morning, midday, or evening. My home has a fenced yard and two friendly dogs for safe, supervised play. I closely monitor interactions, follow your pet's routine, and can crate them if needed for comfort.
“Kim was so great this week! Presley was in a wild mood but Kim did a good job of dealing with her and letting us know how we could get it handled. Great as always!!!!”
About: I am a former veterinary technician, so I’ve worked with all kinds of animals! I am able to administer injections or oral medications if needed. I am currently a full time online student, so I am available for drop ins as needed. I am not available to do boarding, due to the animals at my home. I will treat your home and your pets with the upmost respect. I strictly follow your house rules, keep your space clean, and send updates whenever you need!
“Kallie K is spectacular! She went above and beyond for my fur baby, River - especially during the recent thunderstorms. She understood that if River didn't like fireworks, she probably didn't like thunderstorms and proceeded to stay with River through some of the worst during her time. My fur baby is very people shy, but Kallie was able to break through her shell. Her frequent updates and pictures made me feel like she was part of the family now. I wish I could afford to just put her on retainer! I really giver her 10 stars!”
“Katie was quick to respond, super flexible, and so attentive to my fur babies! I loved getting pictures of her playing with them and reading notes about the visit. 5/5 experience!!”
About: BACK TO SCHOOL SPECIAL!! NEW DROP-IN CUSTOMERS FIRST VISIT FREE. NEW BOARDING CUSTOMERS 1ST DAY 50% OFF ANY STAY 3 DAYS OR MORE. I have been taking care of pets for about 15 years off and on whether it be my own pets or the pets of others'. Bathing, brushing, soothing, walking, giving medications, you name it. I have had a few classes over K9 Resuscitation and can perform basic first aid and CPR on your pet if needed. If there is something that needs done for your pet that I haven't done before, then teach me how and I will ensure its done while I have your pet in my care. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I work full time so I am usually only available to board or day care on the weekends or when I take a break from work. I will update my schedule before hand though and we'll often be available on holidays. I can do dropins a few days a week. I have a fenced yard and a very friendly dog. She loves other animals. If your pets are aggressive to other animals, then let me know. I will try to accommodate as much as possible by keeping them in a separate room.
“So amazing! She was great with my dogs! I needed someone the night of NYE last minute and I am so happy! I have an older blind dog who needs lots of attention! So thankful to find someone who loves my babes as much as I do!!”
“Thank you Kara for taking care of Gabby! She loved her visits very much. She’s a happy girl! Appreciate your posting photos of her playing and walking. We’ll book with you again when we are here.”
“She came immediately during my last minute booking and went above and beyond for my pups! She’s a dog whisperer, I highly recommend her to anybody who needs pet services!”
“I was very pleased with Lauren's care of my 4 cats. She took good care of them and gave them lots of love and attention. Lauren was a last-minute replacement for my original Rover sitter but she proved to be very reliable and capable. I would book Lauren again.”
About: I have been taking care of animals since I was a child. I had 6 large dogs I would take care of on top of a pet sitting business I ran when I was 15. I have experience with exotic animals as well as cats and dogs! I have lots of energy and I promise your pet won't realize you were gone until you come back! I am in between jobs and I am a mom! I am available any time that I am not having to pick up my son from school. (7:10 am and 3:30pm) But I can be available around those times! Depending on requirements, crating your fur baby won't be an issue. However, while I am there I will be by them at all times. I will make sure if they are outside so am I! If you would like walking time, I will come over to make sure I know how your harness/collar works before ever trying on my own.
“Hayley did a great job with the drop-in visits for our two pups. She sends great pics of them enjoying some outside time and scratches. She's was flexible with their schedule and great with our specific instructions. Would recommend and will use Hayley again.”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and have always been the type of person who notices their little routines, quirks, and personalities. I’m patient, dependable, and happy to follow whatever routine your pet is used to, whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, extra cuddles, or giving them a little space. I know how stressful it can be leaving your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel comfortable knowing they’re being cared for like they matter. My schedule gives me flexibility to fit pet care into my week, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m available for drop ins, house sitting, feeding, playtime, walks, and plenty of check ins. I also don’t mind sending lots of photo updates so you can see how things are going while you’re away. I take pet care and being in someone else’s home seriously. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates secure, stick to feeding and medication routines, and pay attention to any changes in your pet’s behavior. I also like to know all the little details ahead of time, including hiding spots, escape-artist tendencies, favorite toys, and anything else that helps your pet feel safe and comfortable.
About: I've been taking care of various specifies of animals throughout my life from energetic dogs and skittish cats, to pampered rodents, and fascinating arthopods. I am looking for other work positions aswell at the moment and will update my schedule when that happens but I'm basically free whenever as long as I have a heads up ahead of time I have a smallish-medium completely fenced yard with a doggy door, four super chill cats and two 9 month old puppies at my house. One of the puppies is a little loud and skittish but completely harmless and will usually stay completely separate if he can't chill out (he literally just screams but isn't aggressive). I can stay overnights at the owners home and will provide my own food for myself, I do not require a guess room and can sleep on the couch just fine.
“Sophia is so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to book her for our pups! She is kind, cares about our dogs, follows our instructions super well, and communicates with us throughout the time she is with them.”
“5 STARS!!! Jennifer was AWESOME!!! I couldn’t have asked for better care for my dog! She went above and beyond to stay in touch with me and let me know how Waco was doing. She’s the best!!!”

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.
