About: I have grown up around pets especially dogs all my life. I have a sweet little dog named Taco Toast. I am looking forward to taking care of dogs and making them comfortable while their owner is away. All my friends ask me to take care of their dogs when they leave town because they know they will be in good hands. My townhouse is big, clean and comfortable. I live in Golden Hill and love it. Lots of good places to go on walks near by. My experience ranges from tiny toy dogs to large labs to over 120 pound dogs. I am happy to stay at your house as well. Also happy to check in on your pup or cat. I have experience living with cats as well and taking taking of cats when my friends have left town. I work remote from home and can be with your pup! I will change my routine to fit any needs as I can be flexible. I make sure each animal is safe and has what they need. I will communicate with you during your trip and make sure you are comfortable as well.
About: I’ve cared for my own dogs my entire life and am comfortable with feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and daily routines. I’m patient, attentive, and always make sure pets feel safe and cared for. I have a flexible schedule and can make time for drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the week. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and provide care when needed. I will always follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll make sure doors and gates are secure, keep a close eye on your pet, and treat your home and dog with care and respect.
About: Growing up, my environment was filled with dogs, which gave me hands-on experience with different breeds early on. I have cared for everything from small, high-energy breeds like Chihuahuas and Yorkies to larger and stronger breeds like Rottweilers and Pit Bulls. This exposure taught me how to adapt to the unique needs of each dog, including their routines, feeding habits, personality quirks, and behaviors. My ability to connect with dogs of all sizes and temperaments ensures they feel secure and cared for under my supervision. Overall, I have six years of experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, making knowledge, communication, and observation key skills of mine! These skills have been used to care for all dogs, whether it be seniors, new borns, or behavior-challenged dogs. Don't hesitate to reach out, I am always willing and able to assist in any situation! Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine; my flexible schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of the pets in my care. As a high school graduate, I have learned to manage my time efficiently, ensuring I provide consistent attention and care throughout the day. As a college student, I am able to schedule coursework around those in my care, giving each pet the structure they deserve while staying on top of my responsibilities. My ability to balance these tasks ensures that pets always feel cared for, even during busy periods. In addition, having free weekends allows me to dedicate more time to those in my care; I use this time for grooming, mental stimulation, or fun activities depending on the dogs' needs and abilities. My focus on time management ensures that each pup is always prioritized, with plenty of quality time and attention incorporated into their routine. Overall, my goal is to provide a calm, nurturing, and healthy environment. I can ensure that pet care is prioritized in my routine, allowing me to meet the needs of every dog I meet. Caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s home, revolves around creating a safe, healthy, and comfortable environment that fosters trust, respect, and well-being. Safety is my top priority; this includes securing the living space to prevent accidents, deep cleaning after every stay, and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and appropriate food for their dietary needs. In terms of health, I carefully monitor their behavior to identify any signs of distress or illness and address them promptly. For outdoor activities, I use secure leashes or harnesses, supervise them, and monitor them while off leash closely. Building trust with animals is essential to providing effective care. I take time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines. By approaching them gently, respecting their boundaries, and offering positive reinforcement, I create a sense of security and reliability. Whether it’s maintaining consistency in feeding schedules, potty breaks, and spending quality time/playing, I strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable environment for each dog I meet. I can ensure they feel valued and cared for. Overall, the environment I provide is clean, stimulating, and adapted to their specific needs. I offer comfortable resting areas, engaging toys, and plenty of space to explore. I respect established routines and follow your care instructions precisely, maintaining a seamless transition for your pet. My approach combines attentiveness, compassion, responsibility, and professionalism to ensure every pet thrives under my care.
About: I have a very flexible schedule and I love animals from small to big! i make sure the animals i care for are spoiled and loved. I’m mobile from Cedar Rapids, Iowa city, and North Liberty. If this is your first time booking with me/rover let me know for $20 off I am open to care for your pet at your home, i am open to driving them around anywhere, dropping off, going on walks etc.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have over 20 years of hands on experience caring for them. I have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family and always provide plenty of playtime, cuddles, and updates. I currently don’t work so I am free besides on school days, even then I’m only gone for about 4 hours so I’m never leaving the dogs alone for too long. I have my own 3 dogs at home but if needed they can stay in their crate. I usually keep mine in theirs when I’m gone because they can get a bit mischievous, I also have a play pen in case your fur baby doesn’t like crates but also have an extra one if you’re okay with them being in one.
“Cynthia was amazing with our three kitties - they warmed up to her as soon as they met, and she was wonderful with them. Followed all care instructions, and was very responsive and responsible! Would definitely recommend and book with her again.”
About: Lets take the stress out of going out of town and finding a caregiver for your "furry kids". Since I was young, I was called on to look after my friends and neighbor's pets while they were away. I have lots of experience training in caring for these furry friends. In more recent years I've incorporated animal therapy and animal Reiki into my holistic business practice as well. I often travel for work, so that allows for a wide radius for pet care as well. I'm also often working remotely, with plenty of time to incorporate pet care. Perfect for in house sits! I most often do in-house pet sitting for clients. A comfortable environment is key in your home or mine, so i like to provide a nurturing environment. Taking care of the needs of my furry friends is a priority whether that's exercise, administering medicine, or just some love and attention. Keeping things tidy is always helpful.
About: I welcome any animals and treat them all with care and kindness. I love to walk and take care of them by giving them food, treats, and playing with them. More about me: I graduated from UC Berkeley in Astrophysics a couple years ago and I am working locally in San Diego since! Watching pets is one of my favorite things since I was never able to have my own pet dog or cat growing up, watching others has always been what I’m used to so I have a lot of experience caring for and attending to whatever your pet needs! I’m very respectful and I respond quickly in case you ever need anything :) Pet care is easy when working from home. I never have meetings so I am pretty much able to attend to them whenever they need me! I have a fenced yard, there are no other animals in our house that are my own so animals should have plenty of space. I like to allow them time to go outside if they need it but I am always happy to keep them in if they like. Welcome anywhere in the house.
“Holly is a genuine dog lover. She was attentive to our dog and cared for him as if he were her own. We came home from a week long trip to a dog who was healthy and happy being cared for in his own home. Highly recommended.”
About: I've never not had a pet (or five) at home. Primarily cats and dogs, but my brothers were known to bring home a lizard every now and then. I can run and exercise your dog or just love on them and take them outside. I have no problem staying at your house - it's often the best way to make sure your dog is comfortable! I understand the special needs that older dogs and puppies have. I have a wide variety of experience - from my own animals, to other peoples' pets as well as professional animal training experience. I will help you leave your beloved animal in good hands so you can enjoy your time away and return home to a happy pet! I'm currently working freelance and remotely. So I am able to spend most of my time with your animals, and give them as much attention as they need. I have been staying at other poeples' homes to watch their animals for a few years now. I'm very respectful of your home and belongings. I do think it is the best way to make the animals feel comfortable. Even the shy ones have the comfort of "home court advantage", and it helps them warm up faster.
“Stephanie went above and beyond to take care of our disgruntled pit bull. In the process of switching sitters and our dog was not being friendly at all when Stephanie showed up, despite the previous meet & greet. Scary to have a pit growling and barking at you but Stephanie was able to win her over. Relieved and impressed, will be rebooking Stephanie regularly.”
About: Hi, my name is Jenelle and I am a Rover Premier Sitter! My childhood was full of many special dogs, and my love for them led me to start dog sitting right after high school. You can trust that I will treat any dogs in my care as my own! As a California girl, I am very active, enjoying hiking and the beach. If they're up to it, any dogs in my care could accompany me on my outdoor adventures. I am very outgoing, meeting new people and making new friends is incredibly fun for me. I am happy to follow your care instructions carefully so your dog will be happy and healthy while you are away. Photo and text updates come standard when you leave your animal with me, so you can see how much fun your pet is having. I understand how hard it is to leave your dog while you go away,but you can rest assured that we will have so much fun! I can't wait to meet you and your dog and I am excited to be a Rover Premier sitter! I work full time M-F 6:30-3. I can do early walks and lots of play time in the evening followed by another walk if needed. I have a fenced yard with artificial turf. I have a cat who is good with dogs. She has grown up with dogs but if your dog is afraid cat is able to stay elsewhere if in home sitting is needed.
About: I'd love to take care of your pets and home while you're away. Your dog will enjoy plenty of loving attention, walks, and fresh food. I love cats too and take care of things while you’re away. I'm also happy to take in mail, water plants, keep things tidy. Professionally I’ve managed an estate and currently work as a teacher. I'm very responsible and would love to pamper your pet. School teaching keeps me very busy M-F, and I’m gone long hours during those days, so please note that for requests on school days. Weekends are free to be at home for lots of animals care. Please be in touch with any questions. Enjoy peace of mind while you’re away on holiday. I love animals and look forward to getting to know yours too. During the school year I can car for pets overnight and weekends. Drop-ins on weekends and more time available during summer months. I care for just pets in the client's home. I appreciate talking over the phone and meeting you in person before coming to your home.

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.

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 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.
