“Yilian was wonderful with our dogs. She provided drop-ins to primarily feed our fur babies; and she ensured their blankets were in their beds, tidied up the garage and yard, and played with them while she was at the house. She communicated well and promptly, sent us updates and pics. We will definitely book Yilian again!”

“Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.”

About: I’m a dog mom to a Goldendoodle I’ve raised since he was 8 weeks old, so I have hands-on experience with puppy routines, feeding, walks, crate training, enrichment, and basic obedience. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important consistency, patience, and close attention are. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and routines, and I’ll treat your pet with the same care and attention I give my own. I’m also happy to provide plenty of photos and updates during each visit so you can feel comfortable while you’re away. I’m currently in graduate school and have a structured weekly schedule, which allows me to plan pet care reliably. I also have a dog of my own, so I’m very used to structuring my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and maintaining a consistent routine. I’m typically available Tuesday afternoons and evenings, with additional evening and weekend availability depending on the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated to reflect my current availability. For drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow your pet’s usual routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and other care needs. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet and feel confident that your routines and preferences will be respected. I’m very open to discussing expectations beforehand and adjusting my care to each pet and pet parent’s preferences so everyone feels comfortable. I’m also mindful about securely closing doors and gates, using leashes properly, and keeping pets supervised. I’ll send photos and updates during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing.

About: All animals tend to love me, I have not met a animal that has never liked me, even the most timid animals feel comfortability when come in contact with me I do online schooling, so dog walking would be the best side hussle to take on to earn that extra money on my own time. I care for pets like any other owner would, which is feeding, playing and walking. May even bathe them if they are needed after playing or walking

About: I’m a huge dog lover who’s very fortunate to have always been around them. I’ve grown up with big and small dogs and play with the dogs at the shelter regularly. My pup (10 year old terrier mix) gets daily walks, cuddles, and is best friends with all the small dogs at the dog park. Dogs are so loving and deserve to be treated with the same love and care. I am available early in the mornings everyday (before 10am and after 5pm on T and Th and before 2:30pm M,W,F.) I’m available all day on weekends and holidays. I try to stay home as much as I can. If I’m not home, my mom and older sister are. I feed them breakfast and then go on a neighborhood walk at around 8am. If they cannot walk, I have a pet stroller. When at home, they will lounge around inside or outside. Backyard door remains open during the day so they can come inside and outside as they please. The yard is fully fenced. If it’s a hot day I will give them a bath, set a fan, or go somewhere cooler like the marina.

About: Hi! I’m Stef, and I’m a caring, responsible, and patient person who truly enjoys being around dogs. I love giving them attention, affection, and a safe, comfortable environment where they can feel at home. I understand that every dog has their own personality and routine, so I’ll make sure your pup feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m available during the day on weekdays while my child is at school, and I have plenty of time to give pets attention, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m also available on weekends depending on my schedule. I provide a calm, clean, and comfortable home where pets can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure pets are supervised, cared for, and treated with love and patience. I’m also happy to send photos and updates so owners know how their pet is doing.

About: I have owned dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. I have been dog sitting for our neighbors and friends for the past 12 years. I am experienced with handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I am used to medicating pets, both my own and for the ones I am temporarily taking care of. I have volunteered with the Humane Society at different stages in my life and have fostered dogs and cats with them. I am now in a situation where I have a house and yard big enough to enjoy the company of more dogs or cats. I love animals and have two dogs and a cat. I work from home and can devote 100% attention to the animals I am taking care of. I work from home at least 4 of 5 days. I go on 30-45 minute walks twice every day and my puppies get access to our yard throughout the day. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time. I have a fenced yard that the puppies have access to during the day. They are never left outside unattended and will be always accompanied by a human. I also have doggie crates and beds inside the house if that's what the puppy prefers. For cats they have access to a separate area of the house that has doggie gates, in case they want their alone time.

About: I’ve owned 2 dogs in my lifetime, a terrier-mix and Pomeranian-mix. Raised both from puppies through their unfortunate passing. Although I’ve owned smaller dogs, bigger dogs are my favorite because of their energy. Regardless of size, I’ll be sure to keep your dog cared for and entertained. Childless home. Full-time at home worker. Flexible enough schedule to fit in dog walks at a minimum every 2-4 hours. Athletic enough for long walks or short runs. I have a fenced patio for your dog to relax and get fresh air with and without shade. In door option is also available but clients should note that the home has 3 floors but will happily assist friends in need up the stairs.

Erin was very responsive, did everything we asked her to do in caring for Sam (our amazon parrot). She sent a picture every day and let us know when she was there. We would use her again, as it isn't as easy to find someone to care for a bird as it is some other pets.

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.
