About: I have had a dog in the house since I was born. The first dog adopted in my family was a rescue mix named Bosco. The second dog we adopted was a sheepdog spaniel mixed named Arlo. The current dog that we have and adopted in 2020 is a 6 year old rescue blue heeler, chihuahua mix. Every dog I have adopted has had a unique personality. Getting to know each individual personality is a strong suit of mine as I love to bond with each pet uniquely as they all truly have their own needs and wants that need to be adapted to. :) I am a travel physical therapist from NY! I’m on a temporary contract here in SC, and I would love to care for your pup as I miss my buddy Mylo who is my family dog back in NY. My schedule would allow me to care for your pup some weekday mornings, abd some evenings depending on the weekday. I am available both weekend days all day! :) I am used to dogs that require high energy but also love to care for dogs with lower energy too! My pup at home is a high energy dog that requires lots of physical activity and loves to play while staying mentally involved! However, if your dog just needs a companion and some tummy rubs, I would love to provide that too :)
“Shantel kindly helped me out in an emergency situation on a holiday weekend. She sent photos to put my mind at ease, and was communicative and compassionate with my situation. I’ll gladly rebook Shantel anytime for caring for my fur babies, for the peace of mind and the exceptional care she offers.”
“We absolutely recommend Samantha to anyone looking for help with their pet , she is a wonderful, caring, professional and kind person who adores animals!!! We were so thrilled with her services, and will definitely use her again. She came to our house for several weeks, doing drop-in visits with our dog when I was out of town working remote. I received a over Report Card everytime, detailing all the care and the fun that they had together. She also sent multiple pictures everytime as well. Millie looked forward to Samantha's visits and they became fast best friends. They played fetch, went on walks, had potty breaks and food breaks and lots of cuddling! Thank you Samantha:)”
“Belle was amazing. Went above and beyond to care for our kitties. Sent us detailed notes and many pictures daily. It made being away from our cats a little easier. Everyone was very happy all week. Highly recommend and we will be working with her again for sure!”
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life and have been taking care of a puppy, dog walking and poping in on vacations Super excited to start! I love dogs! I am extremely flexible around your schedule. I am very active and busy but it will be my priority to put your pups needs first! My experience with dogs are always fun. All dogs are different and like to have fun a different way. I think they are very readable like a human lol! My golden retriever is very playful with toys. She loves king walks and playing and running in the yard.
“We booked Madison for drop in visits with our dog Milo. Madison was responsible and wonderful with Milo! Her love for animals certainly shines through her personality! Thank you Madison!”
About: Hi all! Thanks for taking the time to view my profile! Some of my experience includes in-home sitting for various dogs for multiple years, fostering with Boot n' Kit Canine Rescue with over 16 8-week-old puppies, fostering with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue for dogs newborn-senior, and volunteering in general with Buddy's Second Chance Rescue. I also come from a long line of vets and vet techs, which makes me confident. I adopted my own dog in April of 2022 (whom is a great foster sibling!) so all inquiries must be comfortable with a well trained 40lb resident dog. Please message me with any questions, I am super flexible and willing to accommodate! I currently work a hybrid position, allowing me to take Rover Requests on most days! I am hopeful my availability will increase in the future! Dogs ARE allowed in my apartment, and I have paid all fees incase of any damage. Your pup will stay leashed outside of unit. Depending on the dogs size, age, temperament, etc., we have various equipment of our own including a crate (s), play pen, toys, dishes, blankets, beds, etc. My commitment to your dog includes care, but additional love and affection as well. I do photography on the side, and your dog is guaranteed to be a model!
“Colleen was a real blessing, took on my 4 animals in one days notice for 4 days. I had a sitter booked and she was a nightmare night one and Collen just picked up where she left off not knowing me or my pets and I was already away in another state. She was so compassionate and loving toward them and me, lots of great pictures throughout, brought in my mail and garbage can. Sweet as can be!! Thank you Colleen for being there for us!!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets since the age of 12. I have dog sat for many relatives, and I take extremely good care of my beagle! I have plenty of free time as I recently graduated college and most of my grad school classes will be online, I also love going on walks, and would love for a furry friend to join me! My full focus is on the safety of the dog. They are like my babies. I will do whatever it takes to keep them safe, happy and healthy.
“Barbie was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond for us and our pets. Her detailed updates and frequent photos helped put our minds at ease while we were away. It was so comforting knowing our kitties were in such good hands! We will definitely be using Barbie again in the future!”
“Megan did a excellent job watching our little man Guido. He can be very picky on who he gives his attention to. In every picture she sent he was snuggled up on her. Which means he is very happy and comfortable. So glad we found Megan as a sitter. We will definitely use her again.”
About: My first formal pet sitting experience was taking out and playing with my uncle’s black lab puppy after school, my senior year of high school. Then, that same year I pet my aunt’s 2 cats in 2016. During the pandemic, for over a year, I stayed at my friend’s house while she was away at work. I would take her precious pup Lala out for walks, give Lala and her cat-sister Sophia their meds with breakfast, and treat them like the princesses they are. I recently left law school, so my availability is completely free until I find a full-time job! I would love to set your mind at ease by visiting your home as often as you’d like! I would care for my clients’ pets the same way I care for my cat-son, Remy. I give him all the attention he desires, and I do the less-than-desireable things (like washing his litterbox monthly, clipping his nails, and brushing his teeth) with a smile because I know it’s what’s best for him.
About: I have grown up around animals. I absolutely adore them. I have always been an animal lover sometimes I like them more than people lol. I have a dog of my own so I am well aware of what they need and what makes them happy. I am currently working full time. But with school starting soon I will be working less hours and will be able to be more accommodating. I am available Mondays after 2pm, Tuesday after 3pm, Wednesdays after 5pm, Thursday after 5pm, Friday after 5pm and Saturday and Sundays change weekly. I will make sure to take your animal out as often as they need. I will make sure they get fed on time. And I will follow all directions that I am given about what the animal needs.
“Natalie has been amazing! She has cared for my cat with CKD multiple times and has made it for me to be away for several days as needed. Natalie shows amazing care and concern for my cat and provides plenty of updates with each visit. Will continue to rely on Natalie in the future and I recommend to her to anyone!”
About: I have grown up with dogs all my life! I have taken care of dogs for family and friends throughout the years. I am comfortable with big and small dogs!

“Allison was absolutely wonderful with my pup! She’s reliable, caring, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. From our first message, she was professional and easy to communicate with—always providing updates and photos so I knew my dog was happy and safe. I came home to a calm, well-cared-for pup and a tidy house. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such capable hands. I would 100% recommend Allison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter.”
“Karibian was a lifesaver for our family! We had somewhat limited notice to needing our girls cared for and she stepped in and helped us. The girls were so happy to see her each visit, even though they had never met. All the photos of smiles and snuggles made this mommas heart happy. I highly recommend her service and will definitely rebook with her again!”

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.
