About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 13 years ,I love to work with dogs of all shapes and sizes. I personally own 3 American bully’s so have a lot of experience with large dog breeds. I can take your dog/s for walks , feed them ,do drop in visits or play with them. I have a small farm so have experience tending to rabbits, cats ,chickens,pigs, goats and chinchillas I work part time and am available weekdays / nights and weekends, i am available for overnights or early morning pick up / drop off I can come to you and take your dog/s for walks or playtime in your yard or neighborhood as well as taking them to hiking trails, parks or just out for a little socializing (depending on the dog) I have dogs that I can bring if your fur baby needs a playmate as well. I also offer daycare and boarding in my home, I don’t currently have a fence up but we are adding one in the spring. I have plenty of room for inside play for the dogs and go on multiple walks a day with them. I do have personal dogs but I can have it so they are separated if your dog doesn’t do well with others.
“Kaden was great! I got many updates and pictures during our vacation. I felt comfortable with him watching our kitty who is on medication multiple times a day! Would definitely use him again and would recommend him!”
“Liz is fantastic! she has been incredibly patient with my shy kitty. it’s obvious by her care and attention that she knows and loves animals. she is trustworthy, considerate, and communicative. She is my go to person for drop in visits.”
“I hired Amanda to look after my cat while I was away. She was great at communicating from my initial inquiry right through my trip. Amanda sent photos and updates daily which made me feel comfortable that my girl was in good hands. I will be a repeat customer!”
“Gabrielle was excellent taking care of our pup this weekend! She’s super reliable and easy to work with! She sends great updates and awesome pictures! We are happy we found her last year and that she was available when we needed her this weekend!”
“Amy is perfect. Our kitties liked her right away, she gave them lots of play time, and she was kind enough to take in a few packages and water our poor basil plant on the kitchen counter that we had forgotten about. Amy was also kind enough to share pictures every day we were away, and she clearly communicated her availability and timing for each day in advance. We are very happy and hope Amy will be able and willing to take care of our kittens again in the future (next time we're away). Thank you Amy!”
“Aaron is awesome! He put up with my blabbering about my dogs during our meet and greet, and was very polite and kind. He didn’t mind my dogs’ high energy and excitement. He took very cute pictures of them while he was looking after them, and he kept me updated on how they were doing. He’s an absolute delight; I can’t recommend him enough!”
“I really appreciate you taking the time to do a meet and greet ahead of time and then all the photos while I was away. It was good peace of mind to know you were there taking care of them. Thanks, Nishat for looking after my fur babies :).”
About: I've walked dogs before, but I am not as experienced with dogs as I am with cats, however, I like dogs and hope to get more experience caring for them. I currently attend university, I'm also a student athlete, but I'd love to make some extra cash and I really love animals. I am studying animal behavior at school. For both cats and dogs, I will do whatever asked of you in terms of how often to feed them, take them out, medicate them, etc. However my schedule is very busy and I might not be able to go to your house multiple times a day.
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life, and I genuinely love caring for them. I have 10 years plus experience with daily walks, feeding, playtime, bathing, grooming, and keeping dogs happy, safe, and comfortable. I’m patient, attentive, and treat every dog like my own.

I'm committed to providing consistent, reliable care and keeping your pet's routine as close to normal as possible while you're provide a safe, clean, comfortable, and loving environment where pets can feel relaxed and at home. My home has a securely fenced yard and a very sweet friendly well trained and behaved Golden Retriever who can provide companionship when appropriate. I'm happy to follow each pet's individual routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and crate training. I treat every pet with patience and care while making their safety and well-being my too priority.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a child up into adulthood, until I lost my dog 3 years ago. Although the grief has made it hard to get another pet yet, I look for ways to share this love with other pets I work fully remote and my job allows me a flexible schedule. I can travel up to 20 miles out but can travel further if needed I have a yard far from the road that allows dogs to explore in safety while I take them out to potty or quick walks

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, 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.
