“Madison was absolutely amazing with my fur baby. I was able to relax and enjoy my vacation knowing she was in such good hands. Madison went above and beyond to make Gidget comfortable. I will for sure use Madison and Rover again for my fur baby needs. I can’t Thank Madison enough!!!”

About: I have had dogs in my life as long as I can remember. I love all kinds of dogs. I have a small chocolate lab (1 year) and a Lab mix (approx 3 years). My life basically revolves around them. I am now a retired teacher looking for something to do. Since I love dogs and people need help with their dogs I figured I can do that and still love what I do. I am willing to come walk and play with your dog. Board your dog at my house, as long as out dogs get along. I would prefer dogs that are crate trained but if they are not we can discuss. I can come pick up your dog and take it to doggie day care and go pick it up and bring it back. Im pretty flexible. I worked with Hartmans Haven dog rescue as a foster and have had many different types of dogs in my care. I have had senior dogs and dogs recovering from surgery. I am happy to help. I love puppies and Seniors!! I have no experience on Rover.com but I have been taking care of my friends animals for many years. I can be chill and just sit and snuggle or I can take your dog for a walk. I love to throw the ball and play tug -o-war. Just let me know what you need. As of now I am at home most of the time the day. I am currently looking for part time work. I am usually up by 9:00 if I don't have anything to do. My dogs get me up by 7:00 most mornings. My dogs go out when they get up and come back in for breakfast. When weather is good they go outside and play. I often take them to day care to get them socialized. I do have a few side gigs Im working on but for the most part my schedule is flexible. The day usually ends by around 10;00pm I do not have a fenced yard yet. I am working on that. I would be leash walking your pet. My pets are crate trained when I am gone and out when I am home. They have dog beds to lay on but prefer the couch and chair. They sleep in my bed. If your dog is crate trained I have space for that based on their needs. My two dogs are dog friendly but I always want to do a meet and greet first. I am able to follow your in home routine as requested. If I have concerns I will ask you before accepting.

About: I have experience with dogs and cats at home and light volunteering at animal shelters. My six-year old blue heeler can attest that any hike with me will leave your canine exhaustedly happy. Whether I'm dropping in for a potty break or climbing up Baker's Mt, I will ensure your pet is safe, healthy and having a great time. I'm a student, so I have plenty of time to hang out with your animal! I'm most available on weekends and in late morning/afternoon during the week. I have a large yard with plenty of room to run with your dog and a 6-year-old blue heeler to keep 'em company. I am comfortable crating and following strict training with dogs.

“Kaydence was great and did a wonderful job with my girl Roxie! If you need a sitter who is punctual, does the "extra" things your pet needs to feel safe and comfortable, and is great at staying in touch about how your pet is doing, I would definitely recommend Kaydence!”

“Ella was great from start to finish with our first experience with a pet sitter that we did not know watching our dog and cat in our home! From the initial interview to our arrival back home she was helpful, friendly,accommodating and even enthusiastic about her chance to do what we wanted done for us while she was here! She will definitely be the first person we will ask the next time we need a pet sitter! Great job and we would recommend her and Rover to anyone!”

About: I’ve owned or taken care of dogs for over 50 years. Friends and family are very comfortable calling on me to care for their dogs. Currently, I am fully retired and miss my own little fur baby. I would love to snuggle and care for your dog. My hours are very flexible to suit your needs. I regularly walk dogs out doors and give them much attention. In my neighborhood all dogs will be kept on a leash as per the law.

About: Hi! My name is Madison, and I’m a huge animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets of all kinds. I know how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your fur babies, and my goal is to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or just someone to keep them company, I’m happy to provide that care. I’ll also make sure you stay updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. I’m available for pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priority. I treat every pet like they’re my own! My sister has also taught me some training skills that could be helpful. I’d love to meet you and your pet—feel free to reach out with any questions! I am currently working full time, however i am off on Fridays weekends. If requested or needed I could be available during the week depending on the day. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. At this time I do not offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to provide drop-in visits and, depending on the day, house sitting in your home so your pet can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet has fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, and attention. I also check that everything in the home is safe and secure before leaving. If your pet enjoys walks, play, or just some company, I’m happy to spend that time with them. As I do not prefer staying in a client’s home, if it is requested I can make accommodation. I will do my best to keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions if needed, and any specific care instructions you provide. I also send photo updates and messages so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I respect your home and your pet’s space and always aim to provide reliable, trustworthy care

About: I have owned and cared for just about any domestic animal you can think of, from dogs and cats of every size to lizards, frogs and even cows! I enjoy playing and training or just cuddling and providing reassurance and support for animals who may need a little extra TLC. I currently have 2 dogs and 2 cats and each day after work we do outside play time, brain games and then some cuddles before bed. I understand that in this day and age there are many people who work late who may not be able to provide that type of care for their animals later in the day and I am looking to help in that area! With any animal it is important to know that they all have their own personalities and some may be outgoing but not all are and that is okay! I would love to spend time working together through training, or just spending quality time with your animal to build a trusting, happy relationship. I want them to be excited for visits and look as forward to them as I would!

“Hannah was absolutely fantastic! She was on time every single day, incredibly reliable, and took such great care of our dog Killian. She shared pictures and videos with us throughout her visits, which we loved, and she went above and beyond to make sure his water was full and send us pictures of it. After having a really bad experience with a previous sitter, that extra attention gave us such incredible peace of mind. She also made sure to spend time playing with him each evening, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure he was happy and well taken care of. We truly can’t thank Hannah enough for the wonderful care she gave him. We look forward to having her watch him again and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, caring sitter!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs my entire life and know how much they mean to their families. I’ll give your dog plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away. I work from home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available throughout the day for walks, playtime, meals, and plenty of attention. Your dog will have company and care while you’re away. Safety is my first priority when caring for pets in my home. I follow each owner’s instructions for meals, medication, and routines, and I keep a close eye on pets throughout the day. Since I have a dog of my own, introductions are gradual and supervised, and I make sure every pet has a comfortable space to relax.

About: I have background in the animal control field where I was an officer and also work for veterinary services within gaston county. Your pet will be treated like family here, animals are a huge part of my life. I have had almost every possible animal, horses, cows, cats, dogs, large and small, chickens, pigs, and even fish. I love them all. I do work 4 days during the week but am home the majority of the time to spend with your furrbabies. They will be let out in the morning before I leave for work on those days and immediately after I've arrived back home. I only work 8 hour days and outside of that I'm home the rest of the time. My yard is not fenced in but i live on a cul de sac, horse pasture and cow pasture and tree farm on 3 sides .. i prefer to walk dogs on a leash while outside ( just in case) but if they seem to be well behaved and trust worthy i may play fetch with them and my frenchie in the back yard , there are only 2 houses on my road so we do have lots of privacy. Your furrbabies will stay inside with me.

Patricia has a lovely, friendly personality. She took such great care of my kitties, stayed in touch every day to let me know how they were doing, and sent me photos. She will always be my first choice for a sitter for my cats. I highly recommend her to anyone else needing pet care.

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.
