“We booked xinyi last minute- she took the effort and time to come meet Maxwell the night before anyway and made both of our pets so comfortable right off the bat. We will definitely book again!”
“Sammi did a great job caring for my fur baby Hattie! Was on time for appointments and checked in frequently during visits. She followed directions and left a thorough Rover Card and photo updates. Looking forward to booking with her in the future and knowing Hattie is in good hands.❤️”
About: I have always had a love for dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I have two rescue dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have previously worked as a dog sitter for family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy spending time playing with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they get the care and attention they need. I will treat your dog like they are my own!! I’m a college student and currently don’t have a job so I have a flexible schedule. I’m generally available Monday Wednesday and Fridays before 11AM and after 130PM. Tuesday Thursdays I am available before 930AM and after 1PM. I am apart of a sorority, so I occasionally have events at different times throughout the week, but I’m very flexible and happy to communicate ahead of time to work around my schedule and your pets needs! I currently live in an apartment, so unfortunately I’m unable to bring dogs into my home. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs in their own home and am used to working with dogs both on lease and in a fenced in yard. I will always prioritize your pets safety and follow your instructions for walks, outdoor time, feeding, and routines. I’m happy to maintain your dogs normal routine and provide plenty of attention and care!

About: Rover Bio Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 15 years of experience as a dog owner, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family member. 🐾 I live an active, athletic lifestyle and love staying busy—whether that means getting outside for a walk, going for a run, playing in the yard, or simply enjoying some fresh air. I’m happy to match your pup’s energy level, whether they’re ready for an adventure or prefer a slower stroll. But don’t let the athletic side fool you—I’m also a huge fan of couch cuddles, and quality time. I’ll treat your dog like they’re part of the family and make sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, affection, and love while you’re away.

I spend my days working from home and have ample time to care for your pets needs! I aim to create a comfortable environment for your pets and to keep their routine as normal as possible!

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.
