“Alexandra was a great sitter! She took lots of cute photos of our dog and took such good care of her. She even went above and beyond and watered my plants! On top of that she took our pup for a walk every time she came over even though she wasn't required to. Would definitely recommend her to anyone!”
About: I lost my almost-18 year old beloved mutt in 2022. I adopted her when I was only 17 and she was my best bud. I’m not ready for another dog of my own yet, but I look forward to doting on your fur babies for now! I only watch one dog (or doggie siblings) at a time and can give your little one loads of attention, backyard jaunts and bathroom breaks whenever needed. I’m familiar with medicating dogs and cats if necessary, as well as geriatric mobility issues. I have a fenced in back yard, four steps down from the patio (can carry if necessary). Happy to go for lunch time walks around the hood if the heat allows. No other people around during the day and no other indoor pets. No smoking, but definitely wine happy hours on the porch if pooch wants to join. We do have an outside cat, but he only comes around to be fed on our front porch. And definitely won’t stick around when he sees a dog.
“Brittany was kind, communicative, and took great care (and pictures) of Zara! i would recommend Brittany’s services to anyone with an animal companion, and i would definitely rebook!”
About: A big part of my childhood was spent caring for pets—though not all at the same time! I grew up with two cats, Spike (a black cat) and Sunny (a tabby), as well as a pitbull/bulldog mix named Dash. That’s really where my love for animals started. Taking care of them taught me responsibility, attentiveness, and how to understand different pet personalities. It also sparked my soft spot for pit bulls and larger dogs—they’ve always had a special place in my heart. Over the past couple of years, I’ve expanded that experience by caring for both cats and dogs of all ages and temperaments. I’ve worked with kittens, adult cats, and dogs including Boston Terriers (both senior and puppy), German Shepherds, Chocolate Labs, Terrier mixes, Pitbulls, and Bulldogs. I’m comfortable adjusting my care depending on the pet—whether that means keeping up with a high-energy puppy, being patient and gentle with a senior dog, or giving a shy cat the space they need to warm up. What sets me apart is how intentional I am with care. I pay attention to the little things—behavior changes, energy levels, routines—and I make sure pets feel safe, seen, and comfortable. I’m also reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away. And as a bonus, I can keep your plants alive too! My mom has been into gardening since 2020 (and is still going strong), and while she’s the expert, I’ve picked up solid basics—watering, light needs, and general upkeep—so your plants will be in good hands as well. As a full-time graduate student and wedding singer, my schedule is pretty flexible—which works out perfectly for giving your pets the time and attention they deserve! I’m able to do daytime check-ins, evening visits, and overnight stays, and I enjoy building pet care into my weekly routine. I naturally connect with animals—they tend to gravitate toward me, and I love building that bond with them. Beyond just care, I really value creating a calm, loving, and attentive environment so pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I believe I’d make a great sitter because I’m responsible, communicative, and genuinely invested in each pet’s well-being. For me, it’s not just about pet sitting—it’s about creating a sense of comfort, consistency, and trust while you’re away. In a client’s home, I’m very mindful of maintaining your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. That means sticking to feeding schedules, keeping litter boxes clean, walking, engaging in playtime, and paying attention to their unique personality and needs. Whether your pet is super social or a bit more independent, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe and cared for in their own space. I also make it a priority to keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can feel at ease knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is always to provide not just care, but companionship—and to be someone you and your pet can trust.
“Lyric is 10/10 recommend for sitting your puppies. They fell in love with her in a day and I was sad to see the visits in because they will be looking for her. I will book her in the future 10000000%. Thank you Lyric for taking care of my precious pups.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and also have regular experience with birds and some with lizards. I love walking even running with dogs and hanging out with the kitties. I’m very orderly open and loving. I’ve been assisting my family and friends in pet care all my life. I’m currently self employed as a personal trainer training folks in their homes. I have an unusual schedule and am used to being a part of my clients households so I’ll be comfortable meeting and caring for your furry pals and will have time through the day and night to pop in for walks, potty breaks etc. I’ll treat them like they’re my own pal!! Play, hang, and live the good life! It’s my pleasure to get to spend time with these awesome creatures.

About: As a proud dog owner and caregiver, I offer dependable, loving care with a personal touch.

I’m respectful of clients’ homes and always communicate if I notice anything unusual with their pet.
“Carolina was amazing! She was communicative, kind and very attentive to our kitty. Sent us lots of pictures and updates and played with him, we had such peace of mind when we were away. Grateful we found her, Thank you!!”
“Anna is amazing with our dog. She is very prompt and reliable and communicates really well. Plus, our dog loves her. It is very comforting to know that Anna is looking after our dog when we go away.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my comprehensive experience and genuine passion for dog care.

I structure my schedule to ensure each pet gets personalized attention, whether it’s for feeding, walking, playtime, or administering special care. I prioritize creating a calm, consistent environment that mimics their routine at home. Throughout the week, I dedicate time to activities like: Morning and Evening Walks: Perfect for exercise and bonding. Play Sessions: Focused on mental and physical stimulation. Health Check-Ins: Monitoring their behavior, eating habits, and overall well-being. Special Care: Tending to unique needs, such as grooming, training, or administering medication. Caring for pets isn’t just a responsibility—it’s a joyful part of my routine that keeps me active, grounded, and connected to animals. I tailor my care to the specific environment, whether it’s in my home or the client’s. Here’s how I approach each In My Home: Safe, Pet-Friendly Space: My home is fully pet-proofed with a cozy area for rest. Consistent Routine: I follow the pet’s established schedule for feeding, walks, and playtime to ensure a smooth transition.

“Paola has been doing a great job! I have booked her multiple times. She shows great care and follows any instructions perfectly. She takes great pictures! She is also always quick to reply!”
“I am so grateful to have had Paula pet-sit for my cat, Gomez! Paula has a natural way with animals and Gomez absolutely adored them (and they Gomez) when she came to ask questions on how I wanted Gomez cared for. I received lots of update pictures which put my mind at ease knowing Gomez was happy and well-cared for. I came home to a clean and tidy space. It was clear that Paula took great care of my home as well as my cat. I would highly recommend Paula as a responsible and loving pet sitter!”
“This review is long overdue, we have been busy skiing now that we found an absolutely amazing dog sitter for our little Jimmy Hopper. Jimmy is a 12 pound, 5 year old rescue from what we can only guess was a traumatic past. He doesn't warm up to everyone, it usually takes time and many, many treats. We were amazed at how fast Jimmy took to Caitlin. He clearly loves her visits and walks, and her communication style is fun, frequent and very detailed. There's nothing better than seeing a smiling photo of your dog when you are worried he might be lonely at home. Thank you Caitlin for being such a wonderful help with our little boy!”
“Lindsey was amazing with my pup! She was so kind to my baby and made sure he got quality walks, was fed, and had plenty of time to use the restroom. She was very communicative and easy to work with, which gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was away. I’d definitely trust her again to watch Saint! Highly recommend.”
“Savannah is the absolute best! We had a last minute need while we were out of town and she dropped everything to help us out! Our pups adore her and she kept us informed of her visits without ever having to ask or wonder how things were going. Responsible. Reliable. Kind. Caring. And very in tune with our pups! An absolute gem!”
About: Our family has had two very sweet cats for over a decade. We love them so much. I can always tell how they feel based on their nonverbals. I am happy to rearrange my schedule to meet the needs of the pet parent. Happy to work recurring gigs as well! Please feel free to request drop ins, sitting, and walks. I’m happy to feed, walk, and clean up any messes that your fur babies may have made. If you have any specific requests please don’t hesitate to ask!

Danielle took exceptional care of Theo!! He is often slow to warm up to new sitters, but by the second visit it was clear that he really liked her. She provided insightful messages on Theo each day and I had peace of mind knowing she was checking in on him. I would absolutely book her again and you should too!
Elisabeth did a fantastic job with our three pups. She followed all directions and made the whole process worry free. She has a great calming energy, which even put our shyest pup at ease during our initial meet and greet. We feel lucky to have found such a gem and look forward to using her again in the future.
We had a great experience! Our boy has some anxiety and can take a little while to warm up to new people, so we appreciated how patient and understanding she was. She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and took the time to let him get comfortable at his own pace. She was great with him during their first hangout, and we feel comfortable having her for future drop in visits!
Kamron was awesome with our dog and friends dog that was staying over. We asked for a last minute drop in and Kamron came through! He left great feedback. It was such a relief having someone we could trust to check on them. He was super quick to respond. He also paid attention to detail and took great care in what we needed. We will use him again for sure! Above and beyond, excellent experience.
We were pleasantly surprised to see our Barley so relaxed and himself when we arrived back home after the visit. We knew Jennifer and he would be great together since Jennifer has such a peaceful and attentive nature. We received wonderful photos of him looking happy and calm. Love them! Thank you, Jennifer, for taking such good care of Barley and allowing us to get out of the house for a bit without the worry. We appreciate your time and looking forward to the next visit very soon!
Lynn is amazing! She took on the responsibility of my pups, last minute, having never met them, and did wonderfully! Lynn communicated with me at every step. She is thoughtful and totally wants to do everything she can to make my pups, and me, comfortable and taken care of. She is highly recommend! I will definitely want to book Lynn again!

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Scottdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
