About: I’ve been taking care of animals since before I was 10 years old. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes and have raised a lab and pit of my own. My family and friends have always felt comfortable relying on me for the care of their animals! There’s no pup too big or too small around here I’m fully free for whatever the babies need throughout the day. I usually let them out about every hour until we go to bed. Let me know your schedule and we would be glad to keep them on their routine We have a fully fenced in yard that spans about an acre we also have a doggy door they could go in and out if they would like and we have two of our own dogs here both big babies I have my 3 year old brown and white pit mix and our 5 year old brown pit mix who loves to be anybody and everybody's friend
“Eleanor did a great job with my two cats. She communicated well with me throughout the process. I told Eleanor she would probably never see my cats but she went the extra mile and found them. She even took pictures to show where they were. Thank you for doing a great job, Eleanor.”
About: Hello! I've grown up with dogs most of my life. As I've gotten older, I've ben dog/cat sitting for friends and family, and would love to help take care of you fur babies! I also run often so if your dog needs a more active outing, it would be no problem for me. Working from home allows me to provide constant, attentive care throughout the day. I build my schedule around your pet’s existing routine—ensuring feeding, walks, and potty breaks happen right on time. Plus, with 20+ years of pet care experience, I'm deeply familiar with handling all types of personalities, age groups, and special needs, giving you total peace of mind while you're away. Every pet is different, and with each one, love and dedication to their health and overall well-being in my priority while they are in my care.
“Oh my goodness, I can't say enough about Jamie and what an amazing and wonderful sitter she is. Rover only allows me to give 5 stars but she is worth so much more. She is so caring and loving to your animal and so responsible and attentive to not only your pet, but your home and all that goes with it. Our boy absolutely adores her as do we! Oh, and she takes fantastic pictures and A LOT of them. That along with a very detailed and thorough rover report card make travel and being away from your pet so much more relaxing and enjoyable. Seriously, if you are looking for a sitter book her! I promise that you can't do better.”
About: I have worked at a vet clinic for the past 7 summers. I have experience with all types of pets especially dogs and cats in a medical and home setting. I have three dogs of my own. I have a very flexible schedule during the summer as I am a college student who works remotely. During the school year I am available but not as frequently. I go to school in Georgia so am available to dog sit in that area from August through May. I am back in Virginia during the summer so my location can vary based on the time of year. I love to spend quality time with your fur babies. If they enjoy cuddles I am your girl. I will take them on walks, play fetch, or simply be someone to keep them company.
“Personally, first time we use this service in the US and we were a bit nervous. Lacole exceeded expectations, always very responsive, attentive, on time and proactive looking after our furry ones. We return from our trip happy and relieved that they could not have been in better hands. We look forward to having Lacole help us in our upcoming trips. Thank you Lacole for your time and dedication with our little ones!! ❤️”
“If there was an award to provide for the care that was provided, Cherie would be top winner! We would certainly book her again because of her timeliness, attention to detail and simply the care she gave our babies while away.”
“Diego is the best! He is very easy to deal with and will go out of his way to make sure your pet is happy and taken care of. He is very responsive and sends great pictures during his drop-ins.”

We loved having Kierstyn do drop in visits while we were away she was soo kind and sweet to our boys and I feel extremely confident w her around animals. She works close by at a vet clinic which is a huge plus! She sent great updates and even did an extra drop in for me last min due to some weather. Really appreciate her helping us! Highly recommend

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.
