“Christen was great! She checked in on my cat Christopher several times while I was out of town. Each time, she made sure his litter, food, and water were in good order, took several pictures, and provided a nice write up. Chris is normally fairly shy, but he seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly. Christen was also great at communicating—she always gave me a heads when needed. I'd definitely recommend her!”
“Dakota is phenomenal, he cared for our babies like they were his own, especially our kitten who's 12 weeks. We couldn't be more thankful for him, we will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Julianna did such a great job with our little man. He was very happy with her. She was very responsive to his needs and took very good care of him while we were out of state.”
About: My work schedule allows me to WFH and take long walks with cute dogs. I have a friendly 1.5 year old golden doodle who is with me half of the time. I work from home so my schedule allows for walk or run breaks. I love to be outside, so no walk is too long or short. I have a fenced in yard and an almost 2 year old friendly and playful golden doodle who is with me half of the time.
“Nichelle is so patient with my two rambunctious pups. She is also always has great follow thru, and I can count on her to communicate any issues or changes to schedule or anything at all❤️”
“Josie was so patient with my dog Nori who can be anxious at first. She showed up when expected, played plenty of ball with our dog and even got the cats to come out! Will definitely use Josie again!”
“Chandler is a fantastic sitter! He is always responsive, on time and very kind. Trustworthy and compassionate and has been the perfect person to watch over my senior dog with health issues.”
About: A deep love and understanding of animals runs in my veins — my father is a veritable animal whisperer who passed on his love of fur babies to me. I grew up with multiple dogs in our house and personally believe pets thrive on attention, love, nurturing, and a stable schedule. The love, patience, kindness, gentleness, respect, and playfulness that comes so naturally when caring for a beloved pet is something I believe all animals deserve — and something I’m excited to shower on your fur babies! I appreciate a detailed list of eating/potty schedules, favorite toys/treats, appropriate cadence and frequency of walks, daily playtime, preferred vet, food specifics, medicine specifics, ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF TO MAKE THIS A FUN & RELAXING EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR PET. I work from home and I make my own schedule so I have all the flexibility needed for an awesome experience for your fur baby! I have a fenced-in yard with lots of room to run and play, as well as a covered patio for them to cool off. We spend most of our time outside, but if it’s raining or they just want to come in, we’ll hang out in the living room where I love playing interactive games — if the pup is up for it!
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was a little kid, but via rover in the last 3 years I have cared for dogs, cats, all kinds of rodents, ferrets, raccoons, snakes, farm animals, along with other small pets and exotic animals. I have the patience and experience for the reactive/scared fur babies. I am also knowledgeable and experienced in administrating medications. My main goal is to provide quality care for your pets, and a peaceful mind for you. I am currently an animal caregiver while doing part time studies in veterinary medicine, and am available daily or overnight, week days and weekends with a flexible schedule I’m diligent in following care instructions, along with basic training commands such as sitting, laying, shake, spin, recall, stay, and crate training. Maintaining a clean potty area and cleaning up after messes. I can accommodate any feeding requests. I will also make sure the environment surrounding your pet is free of hazard, ensuring a safe and secure play time. parents can rest assured knowing their babies will be receiving high quality care and all the love in the world.
“Rachel was very good with Rico making sure he had fresh water, sunbathing time, and any meds that needed given. He was happy to see her so I know she's a good fit for him and us. It's refreshing knowing I can trust someone with my fur baby while I'm at work.”
“So happy with my decision to use this site and I picked just the right person to take care of Andy while I was away. He is not really comfortable with strangers but Autumn took the time and patience to make him feel good with my absence and it took my worry away about leaving him. She made sure all his needs were taken care of and the pictures she took let me know everything was fine. She is totally awesome!! And to add she is very trust worthy with the security of your home. Highly recommend her!!”

About: I’ve been caring for my own two dogs since I was 10 years old and have been dog sitting since I was 15. I’m currently 23 and have experience with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I also have worked with disabled dogs and dogs that need medication . I genuinely love spending time with animals, so pet sitting rarely feels like work to me. I treat every dog as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I am a recent graduate of UC Irvine and now am taking a gap year in Oklahoma (hometown) . Since I’m out of school and currently not working, I am extremely flexible. If I am sitting at a client’s home, I will first take note of the house rules and dog sitting rules the client provides me. My dog sitting experience will be based off and centered around those factors. If I am dog sitting in my own home, I will make sure the pet is away from any things that can be broken or can harm the pet. I will walk and play with the dogs periodically and feed/provide water as needed as well.
About: Being in my mid twenties I find myself looking for someone I can give my attention and affection to! I’ve relied on dogs to give me that emotional energy because they are so calming and innocent. I went to college and now work a corporate job! I have tons of free time so on my off days I work at Trader Joe’s and volunteer at the children’s hospital! I’m really outgoing and active! My corporate job has a unique schedule! I work Monday- Wednesday in office and off Thursday- Saturday and remote on Sunday! I also wake up at 5am and have multiple breaks during my day. I live by the Paseo which gives me the opportunity to be able to walk with dogs freely and in a space that is comfortable for them! As well I’m comfortable driving anywhere to cater for them!
“This is the second time Carrie has stopped in on our pets. We are very happy with her. She gives the pets a lot of attention and care and is very communicative with us. We will be using her again!”
“Payton was an absolute life saver for us! She did an amazing job with our two dogs. Fantastic communication, gave updates and pictures every time she stopped by for a check in. We will 100% be booking her again next time we need pet care!”
About: I have Pet experience Personally, and professionally! - Personally: By taking care of my pups my whole life. I've had 14 dogs since I was a kid and loved every second of it. - Professionally: I used to work at a doggy day care! We'd spend all day with 20+ dogs all huge dogs and we'd clean up after them, clean the kennels, feed them, and play with them. I'm currently home from college! So I have a lot of free time and am killing time before I ship off to Navy Basic Bootcamp. Fenced in yard! Brena loves other dogs so she could keep your dog company. Then they can be with my other puppy Bruno inside our home!
About: Hi there! My name is Brittney, I’m 29 years old, and I work fully remote. This allows me the time and freedom to give your fur-babies the attention and care they deserve. Spending quality time with animals brings me so much joy and fulfillment! Both of my dogs love to run around and play in the backyard with each other and with new friends. If your dog is not interested in play, my dogs are crate trained and accommodations can be made to keep them separated and stagger potty times. I’m very detail oriented and attentive (especially when it comes to a client’s pets, as I know first-hand the anxiety in trusting someone new with our furry family members). I always provide consistent updates and photos during each stay. Your satisfaction and your pet’s comfort, safety, and contentment are my biggest priority! I work fully remote, so I am available all day for boarding and house sitting (assuming there is adequate wifi available)! While we never go more than 4 hours without a potty break, it’s usually more like every 2 hours while I’m home. Happy to follow any and all procedures and routines you set. Feeding times, sleep routines, potty times, medication schedules, training, etc! I know how important routine can be.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Smith Village
Christen was amazing with our two dogs and was incredibly professional. She constantly communicated well with each drop-in visit and gave us total peace of mind while being away. We appreciated the report card for each pup, showing all activities for the day. Highly recommend Christen!
Christen was great! She checked in on my cat Christopher several times while I was out of town. Each time, she made sure his litter, food, and water were in good order, took several pictures, and provided a nice write up. Chris is normally fairly shy, but he seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly. Christen was also great at communicating—she always gave me a heads when needed. I'd definitely recommend her!

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.
