“I was really stressed about a trip out of town. I had a friend stay at my place but one of dates fell through. Alison took care of my babies last minute. I instantly felt relieved knowing she was there loving on my gang. She even was sweet enough to take extra time to sweep up the hair off the tile. My dogs weren't even impressed with my return so she must have REALLY spoiled them! ha ha”

About: My partner and I own a house in Cedar Crest on a quiet dead-end road with a fenced yard, dog door and nearby access to hiking trails. I work from home, so I am available for fetch and belly rubs all day! We have a lovely fenced in yard which is great for fetch or playing. We currently have a 12 year old male golden retriever who is great with other dogs. We also have a 7 year old female Bernese Mountain dog who is an adorably lazy playmate, and 3 year old female rescue Berner who has more energy. We also have an indoor/outdoor cat who gets along with dogs well. I have been pet sitting on Rover off and on for about 10 years in both Nevada and Oregon and have cared for our friends and neighbors dogs since moving to New Mexico. I work full-time from home, so I'm almost always at home with my animals and yours! Our daily routine revolves around our dogs, and yours. We have a fenced yard with dog door access to the house. Since I work from home, I am readily available to walk, feed or pet any dog who asks for it. We let our dogs on the furniture and bed but can easily adjust if needed.

About: As a 60 year old I have had dogs my whole life. I love dogs and enjoy treating the ones I sit or care for as my own. I have a small house so am looking for one dog at a time. I will happily come to your home in the East Mountains to feed, play with/walk your pets as well. I have been a Rover sitter for 6 yrs and took a break for a couple. Now I am ready to start caring for dogs once again. I work at home and I have the freedom to come to your house to feed, let your dog out, take your dog for a walk, play and of course give lots of attention. Or if your pet is my house, I can fit in playtime, walks throughout the day, pets, snuggles, etc. Even though our yard is fenced, I will never let your dog off leash. I will be attentive when we are outside so that he/she does not run off, run after wildlife, or get into any mischief. We have cactus in the yard and I will be diligent in keeping your pet away from them! I will treat your pet as my own.

About: After having three dogs for many years, I am an expert at walking more than one--with expandable leashes, it's like flying three kites at once! In addition to long (or short) walks, I also like snuggling with pups on the couch. I currently have one 20-pound pup who gets along with almost all other dogs and loves having guests. For boarding and daycare, a meet and greet is a must. I have a very flexible work schedule and I mostly work from my home. I love taking frequent walks and petting dogs throughout the workday. I do not have a yard but like taking walks at all times of day, so your pup can still get plenty of exercise. I am familiar with senior dog care and am comfortable giving pills, following special diets, etc.

About: It’s my goal to provide the pets under my watch with the best care possible. It’s important to me that my clients have peace of mind concerning their pets so that they can enjoy their vacation or business trip worry free. I message, send pictures, and provide videos often towards that goal. I gladly give their pups all the love and attention they want. Truthfully, I just love dogs and love their company. I’ve had dogs and all sorts of other pets my whole life. They will get plenty of attention from me and my wife since We are retired and typically home all day and night every day. Currently I have no dog of my own and one reason I do this is because I enjoy their companionship. I also do not care for dogs from other families at the same time. So, your pup or pups will be getting our full attention without worry of conflict with another animal. I have a high concrete block fence all the way around the grass back yard where we go out often for fresh air, play, and potty. Them potty, not me. I keep your pet indoors with me mostly but give them potty breaks and play time often during the day and night. I do not leave them alone outside. And if we go for a walk or to the park, they will always be on their leash and we avoid other animals which may be out. We tend to be tranquil low energy home bodies. So a pet with a lot of energy or one that needs daily walks and exercise may not be a good fit. Since I am retired, I will be with your pup pretty much 24/7. My wife will be helping me as well so it’s highly unlikely we would ever leave them alone. If we do need to run a quick errand and we can take them with us, we usually will. It’s my priority to provide your pup(s) with a happy, safe, and healthy experience. It is only my wife and I so my home is quiet and calm. I have a grass yard for play and potty breaks. There is a high brick fence around the yard. There’s not much in the house for them to get in trouble over. The floors are easy to clean in case of accidents. Between visits I thoroughly clean and disinfect the floors, furniture, rugs, patio, and even the yard with animal safe solutions to insure the health of your pets.

“We had a wonderful experience and felt completely comfortable leaving our two dogs in Mae’s care for a full week. She was incredibly attentive and kept us updated regularly, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She was also very flexible and responsive, especially when a few things didn’t go exactly as planned. Communication was consistent throughout the week and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure our dogs were well taken care of. We came home to two happy, well-cared-for dogs and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, communicative and caring dog sitter. We would happily have her watch our dogs again!”

About: Hi, I’m Savanna! I’ve loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I got my first dog when I was 13 and was his primary caregiver for five years. From daily walks and feedings to vet visits, training, and plenty of playtime, I learned firsthand how much love, patience, and responsibility go into keeping a pup happy and healthy. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member, and I’m committed to giving them the same care and attention I gave my own. Whether it’s long walks, cuddle time, or making sure their routine is followed just right, your dog will be in safe, caring hands with me. I’m currently doing an unpaid internship and looking to build my hours, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m happy to adjust to your pet’s needs. I provide loving, reliable care; fresh food, water, exercise, play, and attention—while keeping pets safe, healthy, and happy. You can trust me to treat them like family.

About: Since a kid I've been surrounded by dogs. I was taught young how to care for and interact with them. Since then I've always had pets and made sure they lived the best lives they possibly could. While I don't have any sort of specialized skills when it comes to pet care I do have plenty of experience. The majority of my adult life has been spent in the military and security industry. Giving me the required skills to provide a safe and secure environment for your fur child. I am currently working part time with a very open schedule. I'm free most days except from the times of 5pm to 8pm usually. Leaving me plenty of time to check on your pets. I have an enclosed yard with two dogs at home. One small and one big. Both very friendly and would love a trip with your pup to the nearby park.

“Jennifer is my go-to for help with my furry child. I had surgery and couldn’t bend over or pick up litter so I hired her for the week and she was so attentive to my senior cat while I was out of commission. I was here in the house while she worked and utterly useless. But I felt like I could focus on healing myself because I had someone so caring taking care of my Carla. Jennifer really is the best.”

About: I’ve been lucky enough to build relationships with returning Rover clients, and I’m always happy when people trust me to care for their pets again. I’ve never met a pet-care challenge I couldn’t find a solution to. Every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m patient and willing to figure out what works best for them. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, livestock, and critters of all ages, sizes, and personalities, including experience working at an animal hospital where I cared for boarding animals, newborn puppies and kittens, and pets who needed a little extra patience and attention. I also have plenty of personal experience with animals who have behavioral challenges, which has taught me to be observant, patient, and adaptable. Pet sitting is something I do on the side while I’m in school and working as a barista. My shifts are generally around six hours, and my classes are online, so I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate plenty of time to the animals in my care. I genuinely love animals and take their safety and happiness seriously. Whether your pet needs lots of exercise and playtime, a specific routine, extra patience, or simply someone to keep them company, I’m happy to work with them and find what makes them comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pets and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own! 🐾 My Schedule 🐾 I have a pretty flexible schedule since I’m currently a student with online classes and work part-time as a barista. My work shifts are generally around 6 hours, and my schedule varies from week to week. I’m happy to work with you ahead of time to find dates and times that work for both of us. I’m also available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting depending on my schedule. I do my best to give every pet plenty of attention rather than rushing through visits. If your pet has a specific routine, feeding schedule, medication, or other needs, I’m happy to work around it and keep their normal routine as consistent as possible. Because my availability can change week to week, please message me before booking so I can confirm that I’m available for the dates and times you need! When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client's, I prioritize a safe and structured environment tailored to each pet's individual needs. In client homes, I am trusted with overnight stays and have consistently managed multiple animals without any issues, ensuring they are comfortable, secure, and well-cared-for in their familiar surroundings. In my own home, I adhere to a disciplined routine, particularly with dogs, to maintain a sense of order and security. This includes scheduled feeding times, walks, and play sessions, which helps in managing their energy levels and maintaining their health. My cat, Beans, enjoys a more flexible routine, which suits her independent nature. She's free to set her own pace throughout the day, though I ensure her needs for interaction and care are met. Overall, my approach is based on respect, patience, and attentiveness to the unique personality and requirements of each pet, ensuring they feel loved and at ease under my care.

An excellent set of visits (again!) by Lora to our two kitties Alfie and Jenny. Lora has become the kitty whisperer for each of them with their unique personalities and needs. She's able to juggle time with each of them, so that they each have their own connection to her. Especially appreciate her perseverance and insightful , professional efforts in forming the relationship with Jenny and with Alfie. What I like the best other than the amazing reports and photos that she gives Is arriving home to calm and content kitties. They feel relaxed and confident with her (knowing that they're in good hands with Lora) and so do we.

We deeply appreciate Lora and her excellent, thoughtful approach to each pet. It gives us great peace of mind when we travel. In particular, we enjoy the details and pictures she provides daily - and how her relationship with each of our former feral cats continues to grow. Our cats and our home are in such good hands! We have a goofy cat Alfie who just loves to be loved and just loves Lora. And, just this most recent trip there was great progress with our cat Jenny who is extremely shy -- we didn't even know that Lora was using an approach calling out to the cat before entering that part of the house to see Jenny kitty where Jenny hangs out-- thoughtfully giving our extremely shy kitty the chance to not be surprised, and also a choice to hide or not to hide. Amazingly, and it's never happened before, but Jenny chose not to hide this time, which for a very shy kitty is an amazing moment indeed.

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.
