About: I’m Destiny, a previous mini schnauzer owner for 5 years until I had to move states and ultimately couldn’t afford his travel and care. I love dogs so much, almost more than humans sometimes. I have experience potty training and teaching basic commands(no professional). I taught my puppy to sit, speak(when he needed to potty & just for entertainment/discipline purposes), and stay while I had him (he was also highly food motivated so it was super easy). I’m very active and love outdoors. I take runs at the park occasionally, so walk and play time should be fun for puppy with me. I have two boys, age 3 & 5, they’re full of energy to play as well with puppy. I currently work from home so my day is very free especially while my boys are at school during the day. Hope to meet you and your fur baby! I work from home so I’ll be there to supervise them all day. I am very active and I take walks or runs every day! I care for pets in my home just as they were mine! I allow them on furniture, walk and play and love on them very often.
“Kourtney was great with my dogs and always kept me informed with plenty of pictures. My dogs loved playing with her and she really took the time to keep them active and entertained during her 30 minute visits. I already have our next visits scheduled.”
“Tatyana always does a great job. I’ve booked her twice now for my cat Moonlight and she’s an extremely fast communicator, responsive, attentive, and caring. Would book again!”
“My partner and I have used Jackie numerous times to drop in on our cats and dog. She has always been solid, punctual, and given us plenty of details on how our fur babies are doing. Moving out of the area recently means we'll be losing a trusted Pet Sitter, but I know that Jackie will provide the same care and attention to your pets that she gave to ours. Highly recommend.”
“Jessica is the sweetest and most responsible young person I have ever met. I would adopt her if I could. Ms. Jessica is very professional, polite and oh so responsible. My Cookie is not friendly to most people, but Jessica made her so comfortable and treated her like her own. I have never had such a relaxing vacation as I have this time. Jessica is beautiful inside and out, and such a delightful young lady!!”
“Shea was great with our cat! She was a great communicator and understood how to handle our older cat. Our cat can sometimes be a bit cranky when we get back home but this time he was much more relaxed because of the time she spent with him.”
About: I grew up in a family that has always had a dog around! My first and longest passion was to become a veterinarian because of how much I loved animals. My first baby is my dog Nahla and she has been in my family for 13 years. I have lots of experience volunteering at animal shelters and taking care of all sorts of dogs. I have also taken care of a family member’s momma and her puppies for two separate births. I am a student four days a week and I usually have four work shifts a week as well. My schedule will be communicated if interested in booking my time! I care for all animals as if they were my own. My 13 year old dog at home is spoiled sweet and the love of my life. I have no problem with any types of breeds. Tell me how you want them to be cared for and I will do it!
“Gisselle is always accommodating and pays close attention to detail. She remembered how to care for our cats without any issues. Will continue to book with her as long as she’s available”
“Another happy weekend with Tory! I totally forgot last minute to book a house and dog sitting appt with Tory. She was so sweet to accommodate us for drop in visits and I feel so at ease knowing our fur babies are well taken care of. I know they were so excited to see one of their besties.”
“This was my first time using Rover and Suzanne was an absolute angel for my cat. Besides doing the basics of scooping the litter and feeding him, she also washed out his bowls when they got dirty. She meticulous and careful and showed my fur baby so much love. 💕”
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of two high-maintenance pups, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets when you’re away. During my drop-in visits, I go above and beyond to make sure your furry friend gets the attention, care, and love they deserve, just like I do for my own. Whether it’s feeding, potty breaks, playtime, or just some extra belly rubs, I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for. You can count on me to provide reliable, personalized care with regular updates, so you always know your pet is in great hands! This keeps it warm, professional, and emphasizes reliability while making it clear what you offer As a stay-at-home dog mom and wife, pet care is a natural part of my daily life. My flexible schedule allows me to provide reliable, attentive, and loving care during drop-ins . Since I’m home most of the time, I understand the importance of maintaining a pet’s routine and providing them with the care and attention they deserve. When caring for pets in my clients’ homes, I prioritize their comfort, routine, and well-being. I follow any specific instructions provided, ensuring that feeding schedules, potty breaks, medication, and playtime are handled just as the owner would. I also give pets plenty of attention, affection, and exercise to keep them happy and relaxed while their family is away. I make sure to clean up after them, refresh water bowls, and provide updates with pictures or messages so owners have peace of mind. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for in their own familiar environment.
“Valerie was wonderful! I had a little complicated situation feeding our outside cat when the other homies (cats) decided to takeover the backyard while we were gone. Very thankful for Valerie, she made me feel more comfortable.”

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.
