“Thank you so much for stepping in on short notice! I felt confident after talking with you that everything was going to be alright since we were out of state with very little time to vet our dog sitter! Thank you!”

About: I've taken care of both cats and dogs since I was 9. Neighbors have relied on me to care for their cat while away for work. Friends have called on me to feed, walk and care for their dog on weekends. And I have worked professionally with dogs, cats and goats since 2017, having also been entrusted with bathing them and giving necessary medication. I'm currently working full time which gives me plenty of time to play with your pups or kitties in the evenings or weekends. I am free most weekdays after 6:30pm and am flexible on weekends. I care for my pets by having adequate food and water always available. I do crate dogs if needed, but follow the lead of the owner. I try to keep a clean space and give lots of love to all pets involved.
About: Hi! My name is Hannah, and I’m a dependable, caring animal lover with experience caring for dogs of various breeds and personalities. Along with regularly dog sitting for family, I also work as a nanny, so being responsible, attentive, and following routines is already a big part of my daily life. I currently specialize in caring for small to medium-sized dogs and enjoy providing a safe, calm, and loving environment while their owners are away. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, medication reminders, or simply companionship, I’m happy to help. I’m comfortable with: • Small and medium-sized dogs • Multiple pets at once • Following feeding and medication schedules • Overnight stays • Drop-in visits • Walks and playtime • Providing regular photo and video updates I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll treat your dog with the same patience, kindness, and attention that I would want for my own pets. My goal is to make sure both you and your dog feel comfortable, confident, and cared for throughout the entire experience. I’m naturally calm, detail-oriented, and dependable, and I enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality and routine. I currently have flexible availability, especially on Mondays and Fridays, and I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! I currently work as a nanny part-time during the week, which gives me flexibility to provide pet care before and after work as well as on Mondays, Fridays, evenings, and weekends. I am available for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting, and I always do my best to accommodate each pet’s normal routine. I understand how important consistency is for pets and will make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, walking routines, and any special care requests provided by owners. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality and needs to help them feel comfortable and secure. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I would expect for my own.
About: Hi! Before moving to Tennessee, I lived at a 35-dog professional racing kennel on the North Shore of Minnesota. Needless to say, I am passionate about dogs, and critters of all kinds for that matter! I am well-versed in medication delivery, first-aid, temperamental pets, unique feeding preferences, and just about anything else you could throw at me. I work from home with flexible hours! I am a notorious early bird and I’m more than happy to spend as much time as possible with your baby. I am eager to learn your exact care preferences to make sure your pet barely notices you’re gone! As the owner of two incredibly high-energy breeds, I believe that a tired pooch is a happy one. I would love nothing more than to make sure your baby has fetched, walked, and played to their heart’s desire.
About: I’ve worked in a vet's office and taken care of pretty much all animals over the years. I grew up showing horses competitively on a small farm with chickens, ducks, cattle, rabbits, pigs, dogs, and cats. Since then I’ve owned and cared for miniature donkeys, standard poodles, Weimeraners, Dalmatians, cats, and chickens. As long as it’s not a reptile, I’m game. I love those who need something extra that your normal pet sitter may not be comfortable with - and I also love all the others who don’t need anything special! I have an extremely flexible schedule and can work around pretty much whatever you need. One thing’s for sure - I will be honest with you. If I can’t do it, I will tell you. I will come to your home and care for your pets just as you do! I don’t need a pre-visit (unless you would like that) - you can show me by FaceTime or you can leave me a note. I am also more than happy to have a pre-visit! I like to communicate with you while you’re away so you know how things are going at home.
About: I have taken care of many different breeds of dogs over the years. I love being outdoors, weather permitting of course haha. I have personal experience with special needs dogs. My previous Australian Shepard had a severe heart murmur and idiopathic epilepsy. He was on several medications, several times a day. I administered all medications as well. I currently have an Australian Shepard that loves new furry friends. I trained my first Aussie and currently train with my boy daily. You can trust that your fur baby will be in great hands the entire time! Video and photo updates will always be available 🧡 I work full time from home Monday-Thursday until 5:30pm and 4 hours on Fridays. I am typically free Friday afternoon through Sunday. If your fur baby stays with me he/she will have plenty of play time and lovins all day😊. My home offers a large fenced in back yard, a friendly aussie to play with, plenty of outside time(weather permitting) and of course lots of lovins! Your fur baby can be crated if that is preferred.
“Carrie is the best. She came at the last minute and helped us in a bind. She loved on our 2 cats and communicated extremely well!! I will hire her again. Highly recommend her!!”

About: I have helped train dogs for friends, family and neighbors! Love getting to know other peoples doggies and helping them get their energy out! Can’t wait to meet your puppers! All of my work is freelance work so I would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I book for walks or drop in visits! Safety is my number one priority! When doing drop in visits I make sure your pet is safe and happy! During walks I always use a good grip on the leash and make sure your pet is safe at all times!

About: I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals at every life stage—from newborns to seniors. This allows me to confidently handle everything from playful, high-energy pets to those needing slower, more attentive care. I tailor my approach to each animal’s age, personality, and needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and truly cared for. My availability is flexible, and when I accept a booking, I am fully committed to being there exactly when your pet needs me. I’m very mindful of my schedule and only accept jobs I can reliably follow through on, so you can count on consistency, punctuality, and dependable care every time. I provide care exclusively in your pet’s home or through outings, so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. This helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure while you’re away. In your home, I follow your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible—feeding, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I spend quality time with them so they feel cared for, not just “checked on.” For outings, I make sure they get safe, structured exercise and enrichment tailored to their energy level and personality. I’m very attentive to behavior, surroundings, and safety at all times. My goal is to provide consistent, loving care while keeping your pet happy, relaxed, and in their normal routine.
About: Experienced dog and cat whisperer of 10+ years. Brand new to the DMV from Nashville and looking for new fur babies to call friends I've been trusted for walks, administering medicine, daycare pickups and more. My care for your pet comes with a little extra sparkle through playing, snuggling up, and sending magical moments via photo or video so you don't miss out on their loving while you're away! Because I have a career dependent on gigs and rehearsal times. My days are typically wide open. Unless I am required for a daytime rehearsal, most weekdays I can be available anywhere ranging from 6am-5pm (Weekends vary from time to time.) I ensure trust by establishing very clear lines of communication and asking lots of questions. I always want to be doubly sure of what I am being asked. I send text updates to let my clients know their pets are safe and secure or whenever anything out of the ordinary happens. Typically a key is left for me to easily access the owners home which allows me to keep it in a safe space without taking it with me and losing it. Sometimes when I do pick-ups and drop offs from daycare I make sure doors in the home are closed so dogs don't run through rooms they aren't supposed to be in. I make sure food and water bowls are cleaned and there are no potentially dangerous objects around by tidying up some if necessary.
“Rayana is super attentive and great with the dogs. She gets right down on the floor with them to play with them. She lets the dogs out, supervises them while they're in the yard and is very reliable. She really goes above and beyond to make sure the girls are well taken care of.”
About: I myself have a spunky 3 yr old border collie/shepherd mix. We have worked with a trainer to channel her high energy drive. Because of this, I have learned ways to overcome a lot of challenges dog owners face & how to build healthy bonds. With me, you wouldn’t be getting just a regular walk or play! We will learn cool things together & have so much fun while doing it 😎 In addition to my own current fur baby, I’ve owned two other pups as well as fostered back home in WI. I dog sit for friends, families, and neighbors. I treat your pups just as my own 🐶 I work M-F at home and have a very flexible work schedule as well as being completely free on weekends! I am able to do drop by visits and walks just about anytime you are needing! The same trust and care that my own receives is exactly what yours will too! I take great pride in ensuring all pups & homes are safe in my care.

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 Santa Fe 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% 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.
