“We couldn’t have asked for a better experience! We came home to two very happy pups, and it was clear they were loved and cared for while we were away. The updates and sweet pictures during each drop-in meant so much and gave us such peace of mind. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book again!”
“Michelle does an amazing job! She is great with communication and always willing to go above and beyond to care for my cat. I would highly recommend her to watch your animals.”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I was a zookeeper for 8 wonderful years so I am comfortable caring for all kinds of animals, big or small. Cats are my specialty. I currently have open availability for all my services. I can do mornings, afternoons and evenings. I can be pretty flexible with my schedule as well. I treat all animals as if they are my own. With my years of experience in animal care, I do great at reading dog and cat behavior and can respond appropriately in situations.
“Ms. Shelly checked on and fed my two cats while I was away for a little under a week. I was very worried about leaving them both alone in the house for the first time. After seeing the pictures and comments she sent on the first day, my worries went away. I can tell she spent time building a relationship with them. Even my notoriously shy guy ended up being extremely comfortable with her. Definitely recommend!”
About: What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to every pet. I take the time to learn their personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup needs lots of playtime, a relaxing walk, extra cuddles, or simply some company, I’m happy to give them the care and attention they deserve. I’m also big on communication. I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is happy and being well cared for. My goal is to make your pet feel at home and give you complete peace of mind. 🐾💕 I’m a SAHM so i’ll be home all day with your fur baby. I’m able to provide walks three times a day and I also have a fenced in yard where your fur baby will be able to play. Fenced in yard and a Florida room for the versatile feeling of being both outside and inside. My property also has cameras on the inside and outside of the house.
About: I fortunately have 6+ years experience working in the veterinary field and I’ve also been pet sitting for 10 years, for close friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues of mine. I can take care of special needs pets, giving oral or injectable medications and changing diapers or applying creams. I got you covered! I’m currently part-time at my job so I have ample time for play dates, walks, sleep overs, whatever your pet care needs may be! I have a large fenced in yard, treats for both dogs and cats, toys for both dogs and cats, and a medium size crate if needed I can provide for those of our furry friends who are crate trained.
“Katie was very dependable, loving and patient with our two pups that have never been left before. The pictures she sent told a story of dogs who felt very taken care of and happy despite our absence. I would highly recommend her for your pup that may be a bit on that timid side. She handled the dogs amazingly.”
“Megan was amazing with our pup. We had her stop by our home a few times a day to check on our 8 week old puppy. She was attentive, caring, and went about and behind to make sure our baby was well taken care of. She fed, played with and even bathed him when he had an accident in his crate. We could not be happier with the level of care she provided to Ares. I highly recommend Megan to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Thank you Megan!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and currently have three dogs of my own, including a senior dog and a puppy. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for dogs at all stages of life and have worked with my dogs on training, routines, and basic obedience. I also have experience caring for friends’ and family members’ dogs and cats, and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate drop-in visits and dog walks throughout the day. I’m available from dawn until dusk daily. During each visit, I stay attentive to the pet and keep their environment safe and comfortable. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and leave everything clean and as I found it.
About: I have had animals my whole life! I love dogs and cats! I have my own 5 year old Golden Retriever who has received 3 AKC Good Citizen Certifications. I love taking pups on walks! I am working full time currently so not as open as I would like to be, but may be leaving my job soon to finish school online so my schedule might be opening up a lot! I make sure the dogs are given as much attention as they need and are not left to their own devices to get into trouble as we know our pets love to do! A safe and healthy environment for play and learning is top priority in working with animals.
About: Hi! I’m Meagan! I’m 27 years old and currently finishing my bachelor’s degree in Interior Design. I’m a huge animal lover and have grown up loving and caring for animals. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and definitely the type of person who treats pets like part of the family. I have four pets of my own, two dogs and two cats, so taking care of animals is already a big part of my everyday life. My pets are all very friendly, well-behaved, and get along great with each other. I understand that every animal has a different personality, though, and some pets need a little more space or time to feel comfortable. If your dog doesn’t tolerate cats, that’s completely okay! My cats can stay in a separate area in the back part of my house that can be closed off from the dogs. The same goes for pets that may just need their own space. I want every animal staying with me to feel safe and comfortable. Since I’m a pet owner myself, I also understand how nerve racking it can be to leave your pets with someone else. I’m happy to follow their normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, medications if needed, and of course lots of attention and cuddles! I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away. Outside of caring for my animals, I’m creative and love interior design, being active, and spending time at home with my pets. I’m currently in my final semester of college, so pet sitting is something that fits naturally into my schedule and gives me the opportunity to do something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and wants to play, loves going for walks, or would rather curl up and relax, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at. My goal is for your pet to feel like they’re having their own little home away from home while you have peace of mind knowing they’re being loved and cared for. 🐾🤍 I’m currently finishing my last semester of college, which gives me a fairly flexible schedule throughout the week. I’m able to plan my days around pet care and can accommodate walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding, and plenty of attention. I also have pets of my own, so caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday routine. I have two friendly, well-behaved dogs and two cats of my own, so I’m very comfortable caring for both dogs and cats. My pets are used to being around one another and are very friendly. If your pet isn’t comfortable around cats, my cats can stay in a separate, closed-off area of the house. I’ll always follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding instructions, boundaries, and any special care needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.

We have a fenced nice big yard for your pups to play. We feed all our pets separately. And they sleep in a nice and safe inside room.
About: I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient with shy or nervous animals and I don’t believe in rushing them. I’m dependable, communicative, and detail-oriented. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s normal routine as consistent as possible, and send photos and updates during visits so you know they’re happy and cared for. I also love getting to know animals on their terms—whether that means an energetic walk with a dog, playtime with a cat, or simply sitting nearby and keeping a nervous pet company. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I work a full time job with your typical 9-5 but I still have availability for the following, Weekdays: Before work + evenings 6AM - 8AM & 5:30PM - 8PM Weekends: Flexible availability Holidays: Limited availability I genuinely love the compassion and unconditional love animals give, and I want every pet in my care to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I treat every pet like my own while also respecting their individual personality, routine, and boundaries. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, including my senior cat who is my little best friend and very spoiled. I’m comfortable with shy, nervous, clingy, senior, and medicated pets, and I always prefer a meet-and-greet to make sure we’re a good fit. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, love giving pets attention and playtime, and will always keep their owners updated with pictures and communication. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel cared for and for you to feel confident they’re in good hands.
“Brook is great! She took great care of our dog with extra love and care as she is recouping an injury. Brook clearly genuinely loves animals. We are in town visiting and we're very comfortable with Brook coming in to help out. In fact, we booked her for another day of check-in.”
“Carissa always does a great job with my 2 cats. They are comfortable around her, even the first time she came over, they came out to meet her. She cleans up after them, puts down all their different food and treats, and spends time petting and playing with them. I feel they are well taken care of by her. This is the third or fourth time I've booked Carissa and she is reliable. Thank you so much!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sharpes
Bethany is absolutely wonderful! We’ve used her many times and always feel completely comfortable having her care for our pets. This time we added two kittens to the mix, and she was amazing about adding them into the routine. She was patient with them as they warmed up and made sure everyone was happy and cared for. She is dependable, caring, and truly treats our pets like her own. We always feel so much better knowing Bethany is taking care of everyone while we’re away!
I can’t say enough how awesome this experience was for our pups. And what a life saver Samantha was! She provided a great report and even took some pictures during the visits. We would highly recommend her and we’ll definitely ask her to come back in the future.
Breanna was friendly and personable when we met and she took great care of my cats while I was away for a weekend. Breanna went above and beyond to prepare canned food for them every/most evenings and swept the areas after. I would confidently book Breanna for any future pet-sitting needs!

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.
