About: I have previous experience in caring for an Australian Shepherd/Border Collie mix for long periods at a time. Being a high energy dog- I’m prepared for anything. I’m willing to help in whatever way I can- and provide your pet with love and attention! I have always had pets, but currently can’t afford to keep one myself. Growing up I had a Rottweiler and a Jack Russell, as I became a teenager we adopted a Pit Bull type dog who really changed my perception about the breed. I have high energy myself- so I love to be able to get dogs outside as much as possible and burn off a lot of their pent up energy. Dogs need it just as much as children do! I work a normal 9-5 job usually Monday- Friday but I have a partner who works from home, who I could argue loves pets as much as I do. I have a big yard and perfect sized home that is very safe for big and small pets as it is a single floor home. I do have a crate if needed for your fur baby and will treat them like my own pet.

About: I’ve had pets my whole life from childhood to adulthood. I was the child that found strays and brought them home! I have had dogs, cats, lizards and Guinea pigs. My pets are treated like family and I’ve always been on top of their health care and grooming. I currently have three cats, ages: 16,15,&two 4 year olds. I have an eight year old German Shepherd as well. At one time we had four dogs, and for cats! I was blessed to live in a large home with large fenced yard. I also have two grand cats, two grand dogs and one grand Guinea pig. My love of pets has past down to all my children. I also have access to military installations. I’m a retired teacher so Pet sitting is what I do! I travel and pet sit for areas that I’m interested in visiting so I’m often traveling to both cities and rural areas. I have my own transportation. I enjoy taking pictures of your loved ones for daily updates. I also have access to military installations. I will only provide care in the pets home. I’m a traveler right now so I can only sit in the clients home and Iam comfortable with that.

About: I’ve have taken care of pets since I was a child. I have been with Rover since February 2023.I have a large yard and a little boy who loves animals. We spend a lot of time outdoors. If your pet likes that, they will be able to join us. I have a chain link kennel out in the yard and a lead where they have room to walk around and hang out outside of the kennel too. I work full time. I am available after 5:30 pm Mon-Fri. Weekends I’m free all day! We love animals and can’t wait to care of yours! :) I have a large open yard with an enclosed porch for your pet to lounge and take in the sunshine! I provide morning, evening and bedtime walks and outdoor time.

About: I have had dogs since I was in preschool. I started my understanding of them and other animals when I turned nine. Since then, I always have had my and other people’s pets interest at heart. Today, my dogs are ages eight and eleven and I am their most trusted person in the house. I’ve trained them both despite being in school and I take care of their hygiene. This includes brushing their fur, washing them, and cleaning their teeth. When I am not taken care of their hygiene, I make sure they have a daily playtime or cuddle session so they have some love everyday. I have a part time job that requires me to work on Friday evenings, some Mondays, Wednesday nights, Friday nights, and Sunday however I do have a cancellation on those days sometimes and I will let clients know. Other than that I am very flexible on both weekdays and weekends. If I am unable to work, I will communicate immediately to the best of my ability. I make sure hazards are out of range and site of the animal in care. I don’t rush the bond, and take it to the pet’s pace for trust. At home, my dogs at senior dogs that I have trained since they were puppies and we have a lot of trust in each other and a great bond. I can’t perform service at my own house since I have a toddler sibling who my dogs have gotten used to but I do not want to stress anyone’s pets out. We also have family members who have allergies.

About: i’ve had animals from dogs to cats and so many other animals since i was a little girl. i love watching animals for other people. i currently don’t work due to medical issues so caring for others animals when they’re away would get me out of the house. i’m always available unless i am watching someone’s animal(s) i will take on many walks and feed when they need to be fed, make them feel like they’re my own, give so much love and also give space if need be. i treat it like i’m at a sleepover with friends but my friends are the pets

About: Building Trust with Pets • Peace of Mind for Their People • Loving • Reliable • Personalized • Attentive • Compassionate • Trustworthy • Gentle • Patient • Experienced • Enriching • Dependable • Safe • Professional • Nurturing • Heartfelt Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I intentionally schedule my days to provide dependable visits, walks, playtime, feeding, medication (if needed), and plenty of one-on-one attention. I enjoy staying active, so walks and outdoor time are something I genuinely look forward to. I treat every pet like a member of my own family and make sure they receive consistent, loving care while you’re away. I care for pets in their own home where they’re most comfortable and their routine stays consistent. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs. I also spend quality time providing companionship, affection, and enrichment—not just completing a checklist. During each visit, I make sure the home is secure, clean up after the pet, and send updates with photos so owners know their pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.

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.
