“Krisanne and Gaston took such great care of our timid kitties! They also kept our house nice and clean and went above and beyond to take care of things while we were out of town.”
About: pup is never alone with me! I'm Carolyn, proud mom to Maxx (9-year-old terrier mix), and I bring 9 years of dog-mom experience to every booking: on-time meds, consistent routines, and endless affection. Lots of photo updates included. I currently work from home. I enjoy the companionship a pup gives while I work. So I am always available to care for our furry friends. I try to take a walk outside minimum 3 times a day to get myself moving. Happy to do more if needed. My house is a quiet environment for anxious dogs or outgoing.
“Yuki did a wonderful job taking care of our pets over the holidays. She’s very thorough and kind, and will definitely use her services again in the future. Thank you so much, Yuki! ?”
About: Hello, pet parents! 🐾 I’m a college student at Utah Tech University studying Biology, with the ultimate goal of becoming a veterinarian! I’ve been around animals my entire life and have owned numerous dogs and other pets, so I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your furry family members. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and attention I would want someone to give my own. I currently have a French Bulldog and a Boston Terrier, so I definitely know a thing or two about energetic, stubborn, and strong-personality dogs! 😂 Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just some extra attention, I’m ready to make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet and care for your pets! 🐶🐾 I am currently attending college so my daily and weekly routine is very flexible with your pets needs! I am available most times of day and can’t be there to provide the best care whenever it is needed! I have had pets in my home ever since I was born! I have allways had 3 dogs running around the house causing a ruckus, and I know the challenges pets can bring. I am well prepared for it and would love to spend lots of time with your animals!
About: I have hands on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic young animals to seniors who need extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable following structured feeding routines, administering medications, and providing attentive care tailored to each pet’s individual needs. I can care for a wide range of animals from dogs and cats to birds, hamsters, and beyond. I grew up on a farm surrounded by many different animals, which gave me a strong foundation in animal care, responsibility, and understanding animal behavior. I focus on keeping pets calm, comfortable, and stress free by caring for them in their own home and maintaining the routines they’re used to. Reliability, cleanliness, and clear communication are priorities for me, and I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I attend school and run my main business primarily remotely, which gives me flexibility to plan my schedule around feeding times, walks, medication needs, and overnight stays. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to be present, punctual, and attentive throughout the day and evening. I prioritize consistency and reliability so pets experience minimal disruption while their owners are away, and I’m comfortable adjusting my availability to meet each pet’s specific needs. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress free. I follow feeding schedules, provide fresh water, clean litter boxes or habitats, administer medications if needed, and give pets the appropriate level of attention and companionship based on their personality. I’m respectful of each home and keep the space clean and secure while I’m there. For overnight stays, I make sure pets feel safe and settled, especially in the evenings and mornings when routines matter most. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are doing well.
About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life, from taking care of family dogs growing up to helping friends and family with theirs. I’ve also done plenty of house sitting and pet sitting over the years, so I’m comfortable taking responsibility for someone else’s pets and treating them like family. 🐾 I currently work as a Psych Tech at a hospital, and outside of my shifts I have a pretty flexible schedule. I’m also passionate about fitness and movement, so I’m always happy to get outside for walks, playtime, and adventures with your dog! I’m not currently able to have pets where I’m renting, but I have plenty of experience caring for pets in their own homes. I’ll follow whatever routine and instructions you leave for me — feeding, walks, medications, playtime, or simply giving them plenty of company and attention. Most importantly, I understand that trusting someone with your pet and your home is a big deal. I’ll treat both with respect and make sure your pets get plenty of love and care while you’re away. ❤️ I currently work as a Psych Tech at a hospital, so my schedule varies depending on my shifts, but I have multiple days each week where I’m available for pet care. I’m happy to work with owners ahead of time to make sure our schedules line up and their pets get the time and attention they need. Since I’m not able to have pets at my current rental, I provide care in the owner’s home. I’m respectful of both your home and your pet’s normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions for feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, medications, boundaries, and anything else your pet needs. I want them to feel as comfortable and safe as possible while you’re away.
About: I’ve had my own dog for 5 years and have loved taking care of anybody’s dogs at any point I can! I have loved dogs since I knew how to walk and love meeting all different kinds of puppies! I’m currently working two part time jobs but I’m in college away from home in need of some extra cash! I will try and make whatever schedule work! I live in a student living apartment building for the next few months so I will only be able to take care of pets at your home unfortunately :(

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of November 2026, there are 279 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Shem. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
