“Fantastic experience with Grace! She was on time everyday for multiple feedings for my two cats and was attentive each time! We had such a hard time as this was first time leaving our pets in someone else’s care but Grace put us at ease!”
About: Working from home gives me the opportunity to be closer to my pup and give him the love and attention he deserves. As your sitter you can rest assured that I will love and care for your pup as if he/she were my own! As a dog parent and someone newer to Rover I completely understand the hesitation and worry that comes with hiring someone unknown from the internet to care after your fur baby! I provide LOTS of updates, pictures and videos, as I want you to be comfortable and confident in your decision with me as your sitter! Although I am new to Rover, I am not new to dog sitting. I have lived the last 8 years of my life with dogs of approximately 70lbs or less. I often dog sit for family members while they are away on vacation. I strive to provide a comfy home environment for pups to stay while their owners are away. I work with house training pups and have also taught them basic commands. I can provide extra walks if needed for a pup that is learning to house train. With me your pup will get lots of love, attention, and cuddles! I strive to provide the level of service that I would look for and expect of a sitter! I hope to meet you and your pup soon! I’m currently working full time, I work from home with a good amount of flexibility so I will have plenty of time to spend with your pups! I solely offer house sitting in the clients home. I do this because I prefer to meet with and sit dogs in their own spaces so that we are not disrupting their daily routine while their owners are away.
“David was very good with Dagger. He played with him and took him on little walks around outside the house. He did what we asked and did a good job of taking care of our dog. Thanks again David!”
“Tim did a great job with our pups on his drop in visits. Our dogs loved him! He sent pics and videos from each visit. This is the first time I've left my dogs that I didn't worry once!! Will definitely use Tim again!!”
“Right from the initial meet and greet through to the very end, Lisa was great to work with and we knew our pets and home were in good hands! She went above and beyond leaving us a nice welcome home note and our back porch light on. Lisa will be our first choice for any future needs, highly recommend!”
“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my elderly dog. She is very kind person and a good communicator while I was away. Always let me know how things were going each visit along with pics. I will use her in the future again!”
“Theresa was fantastic! Her responses were timely & it's obvious she both loves and has experience with animals. Even while my shy cat was hiding, Theresa was able to get her out to pet her and have her take her nightly pill! Definitely reccomend.”

“Lindsay is a dependable caregiver. She took care of my dog at the last minute. I loved the pictures she sent too. I will use her again when I need someone responsible to care for my Boba. 🐕”
About: Hey there! Wether its a last minute trip or a trip planned out a month in advance I am here to help! You can trust that your fur baby will be in great hands.

Along with that I love playing with your dogs and providing lots of playtime/outside time. So book now and you wont regret it! I am currently taking classes to become a Veterinary Technician and all of my current classes are online. With that being said, I am home all day if I need to be. It is easy for me to accommodate your dogs needs, walking and playing whenever they need. I take my responsibilities very serious and pay attention to details making sure whatever I am doing is done correctly. I am very responsible, respectful, attentive, caring, and much, much more. I understand everyone has a different way in caring for their fur baby and I make sure to follow those ways to make not only you feel comfortable, knowing your fur baby is in good hands, but to also make your fur baby happy and comfortable as well.

About: I have had pets since childhood and currently own a two-year-old German Shepherd who is both affectionate and energetic. Caring for her has given me hands-on experience in handling, training, and providing attentive care for large dogs. I am passionate about working with dogs and would be delighted to provide the same level of care and attention to yours. I currently work during the day; however, I maintain a flexible remote schedule that allows me to accommodate pet care needs, including walks and outdoor breaks, at various times throughout the day. This flexibility enables me to support pet owners with more demanding or less adaptable schedules. I have fenced in yard and plenty of space for play time! I also have a patio where pets can relax out of the sun
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been something I do with so much love. I currently have four dogs: two Yorkies, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a French Bulldog, so I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Living with them every day has taught me how important it is to provide attention, patience, affection, and a safe environment. I am very familiar with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning, and daily care. I also understand that every dog is different and deserves to have their personality, habits, and routines respected. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love dogs and treat them like part of the family. When a dog is in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, safe, and never alone. I also want their owners to have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it is something I genuinely enjoy and something that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, so any dogs staying with me will have plenty of company, attention, and affection. I am available both during the week and on weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to match each dog’s feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule. It is very important to me that every dog feels comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. 🐶❤️ In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious house and a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can go outside, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home. They are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that is part of their usual routine. I always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions so their pet can feel as calm, happy, and comfortable as possible. Since I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day, supervise their time outside, follow their feeding schedule, make sure they get enough rest, and provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority. 🐶❤️
“Dani did a fabulous job working with my dog. My dog needs someone with patience and perseverance as she gets to know you. Dani had a number of techniques she utilized in an effort to gain my dog’s trust. I highly recommend Dani to care for your pet!”
About: I had a dog for 15 years (Sophie). She was a good listener. I enjoy all dogs optimism and licks and seeing what kind of energy and they have. My schedule is your schedule. I’ve begun a new journey in my life as I tag along with my wife - a travel nurse - in our RV. I jump around usually every 3 months as she transfers hospitals. I work for myself along with small part time jobs to keep me energized. I usually have lots of free time so I thought I’d spend it with some wonderful pets! It’s quite a lovely solution for me to get out and about on an adventure. Safety and trust is common sense to me. Id tell my Sophie all about my life. I believe she was listening. It gets me a bit when I see people waking with their dog while staring at their phone so expect your dog to know all my secrets…
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shimerville
We know our girl is very focused on keeping ‘her pack’ complete. When one or both of us are out, she often watches the door waiting for our return. From the pix and report, it seems Dani did an excellent job of keeping her calm with companionship and comfort during her visit. I’m sure it was a welcomed break for Summer during our absence. It’s good to know we have a person we can feel comfortable with if we have to leave Summer for an extended time.
Jaya was great with Jackson. Lots of his favorite fetches with him. She was great to communicate with and sent plenty of pictures and check ins so we felt secure that he was in good hands. If definitely use her again if she weren’t moving out of the area soon!
Kelly is SO wonderful with my pup! I had her stop in to feed my xl Am Bully puppy while I was away at work during the day, and my pup is now obsessed with her! He brings her a toy when she comes in! She also sends me cute pics of him throughout the time she’s here and is sure to follow his feeding instructions. I’m looking to hire her again when work picks back up! Fab!!

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.
