About: I love spending time caring for animals. I have grown up taking in stray cats and dogs. Animals gravitate towards me and I them. They're my favorite I do work full time. But I will make myself available over weekends. I may also work on weekdays as my schedule allows for it. I am not able to pet sit in my home. But I will take diligent notes to ensure your pet is happy and safe while you're out.
About: I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs for more than 35 years for neighbors, friends and family including special needs, vision impaired, in diapers, senior/older dogs, aggressive behaviors as well as big and small. I’ve cared for many breeds both in their homes as well as my home. I’m a professional musician and I work 1-3 nights/week so my schedule varies and is flexible when planned in advance. I can sit in your home or mine. I try to schedule around my part time work schedule. My retired husband is my dog sitting partner so we can accommodate most schedules. Our home has a fenced backyard and a friendly mixed pointer and pug to keep your dog company. The dogs can enjoy the backyard frequently through the day, the back door is often kept open. During the night the dogs and are kept indoors from 12am-7:30am. Dogs can see on their own dog beds or even our sofas. We are a dog family and we’ve housed many dogs through the years. When caring for your dogs in your home, I try to maintain your routines as much as possible. I give lots of affection, petting frequently, brushing once a day. If owner prefers, I allow pets to sit with me, on me. I prefer not to sleep with them. However, if that is what they are accustomed to I am willing. Please warn me if they are loud snorers (like my husband lol)

About: I’m an animal lover and currently work as a veterinary assistant. I have an associate degree in veterinary technology to become an RVT and soon to be a Veterinarian when I’m older. I have a big passion for animals providing love and attentive care. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, comfortable, happy, and I would love to give your furry babies the same care and attention I give to my own! <3. I’m currently working part time as a vet assistant at my job. Otherwise I am available most of the time. Although some days can change such as dropping my brother off to school in the mornings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. As a veterinary assistant with an associate degree in Veterinary Technology, I understand the importance of making sure a pet feels loved and safe under my care. In fact, I like to put myself in their shoes and think before I do something. Such as if they ever feel scared when meeting me, I’ll let them smell me and get used to my scent before petting them. As a cat owner myself, I know how important it is to provide a loving, stress free environment and follow each pet’s individual needs and routines. I will carefully follow the owner’s instructions, provide updates, and treat every pet with patience, kindness, and care as if they were my own.

“Grace is such a sweet and amazing sitter! She has communicated with me so kindly throughout the entire stay, sends regular photo updates, and follows instructions to a T—and I gave her a lot of instructions! Gemma can be very shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but Grace has been incredibly patient and has worked completely at her pace to make sure she feels safe and comfortable. I can see how much effort Grace is putting into earning her trust, and it’s been so sweet to see Gemma start to open up to her. She’s even managed to put a smile on my shy girl’s face by entertaining her with toys! 🥹❤️ I’m so grateful for Grace and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and trustworthy sitter.”

About: Hi NEW clients, use my code: evonnw84743, for $20 off your first booking! Or you can use the link https://www.rover.com/sit/evonnw84743 to save! Animals have always been a big part of my life, but my first real hands-on experience came a few years ago when I had the chance to care for my friend’s dogs—it was such a rewarding experience and really confirmed how much I love working with pets. Since then, I’ve cared for all kinds of animals, not just dogs! I currently have two sweet guinea pigs, so I’m comfortable with small animals like rabbits, hamsters, and rats too. Right now, I also have one dog of my own, and I’ve spent a lot of time researching how to give him the healthiest, happiest life possible—from nutrition and enrichment to training and routine. Pet care is a big part of my daily life—it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. Since I already care for my own pets, it’s easy for me to incorporate walks, playtime, feeding, and snuggles into my routine. Whether it’s weekdays or weekends, I’m flexible and happy to adjust to your pet’s schedule to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for, just like at home. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or a client’s, their comfort and safety always come first. I make sure the space is clean, calm, and pet-friendly—free of anything that could be unsafe or stressful. At home, I’ve set up cozy spots for rest, areas for play, and keep things tidy and secure. If I’m in someone else’s house, I always treat it with respect and stick closely to the pet’s routine to help them feel at ease. I know every pet is different, so I take time to learn what they like, what makes them feel safe, and how to help them feel right at home. Clear communication and trust are super important to me—I always keep pet parents updated and make sure their pets are getting all the love and care they deserve.
“Hi Alex! Thank you for the heads up about his ears. I will definitely have it checked! We came home and he was so happy. I know he had a good time hanging out with you too! Take care! 🥰”

About: I have 20 years of experience in dog care and can take house and yard and can also walk the dog on time. I’ve been raising dogs for a while now. It’s a joyful experience filled with playful moments and challenges. Every day, I learn something new about their behavior and needs. They bring so much happiness and companionship into my life. It’s amazing how much love and loyalty they show. 1. Feeding: • Once or twice a day depending on the animal and vet recommendations. 2. Fresh Water: • Change water at least once daily. 3. Exercise/Playtime: • Dogs need walks (15–30minutes depending on breed). 4. Grooming (as needed): • Brushing, checking for ticks/fleas, especially for long-haired animals. 5. Clean-ups: • Scoop litter boxes, clean up after walks, or spot-clean cages. Routine Care Includes: • Feeding and Watering: According to the pet’s normal schedule. • Exercise & Play: Walks for dogs, play sessions for cats or small animals. • Medication Administration: If required — pills, drops, or injections (if trained). • Litter Box or Yard Clean-Up: Scooping, changing litter, picking up after walks. • Home Care: Bringing in mail, watering plants, light tidying up, alternating lights or blinds to make the home look lived in.
About: I grew up with a Great Dane who I cared for from childhood until she passed, and she’s the reason I’ve loved pets my whole life. Since then, I’ve helped take care of family and friends’ dogs of all sizes. Today I have an 11-year-old chihuahua (Camila) who is healthy, loved, and very used to having little pups around and a 5-year-old Weimaraner (Lolo) who was literally ‘trained’ by Camila to be gentle and respectful with small dogs. We also have a 16-month-old baby who has learned to be calm, gentle, and loving with pets. Your pup will be in a loving, kind, safe, and experienced home. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m able to give consistent attention and supervision to your pup throughout the day. My son is in daycare during daytime hours, so the home stays calm, quiet, and perfect for small dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced front yard where dogs can safely explore under my supervision. I only care for a small number of pups at a time to keep the environment calm and safe. My two pups are gentle, respectful of small breeds, and all interactions are always supervised. I can also separate or crate dogs if needed to match their routine.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been a big part of my life. I’ve raised 5 dogs of my own—Money, Little Bro, Sugar, Latte, and my beloved senior pup Bear Bear, who was with us until the age of 18. I’ve also cared for friends’ dogs, including overnight stays in my home. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I treat every pup in my care with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. I also love capturing sweet, candid moments and sharing photos with pet parents so they can see how their pups are doing while they’re away. I recently stepped away from my full-time career and am enjoying having more flexibility in my schedule. This gives me plenty of time to give your pup the attention, companionship, walks, and care they need. I’m generally available throughout the week and can work with your dog’s routine and schedule. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and each dog’s individual routine and needs. I follow pet parents’ instructions carefully and treat their home with the same respect I would my own. I’m also happy to provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel connected and know your pup is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

“Zihui did an amazing job with my new 9 week old puppy snowball. She played with him, followed all directions beautifully, asked for clarification when needed, and she even washed the dishes in my sink. She was amazing and I will definitely be hiring again in the future.”

About: I’ve fostered and volunteered at many animal shelters over the years, and I’ve also been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they travel. I’m very comfortable around all kinds of animals, and I know how important it is to feel like your pet is in good hands. While I don’t have any pets of my own right now, that just means I can give your pet my full attention and care. I’ll make sure they’re safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work from home with flexible hours. Being home throughout the day means I can provide attentive, hands-on care, whether that’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company. Caring for animals fits naturally into my routine. I can be flexible so just let me know when you’re available and I’ll try my very best to accommodate. When pets stay in my home, I treat them like part of my family. I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax, play, and feel completely at ease. I have a large, fully fenced backyard that offers plenty of space for dogs to run, play, and enjoy the outdoors safely. Pets are always supervised while outside to ensure their safety and comfort at all times. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and bedtime rituals, to help them feel at home. I offer plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles (if they want them!), along with quiet spots for rest and alone time when needed. Whether they’re here for a short stay or a longer vacation, I make sure every pet in my care feels loved, secure, and well cared for every step of the way. 🐶 Dog Care (Boarding & Drop-Ins) When dogs stay with me, I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where they can relax and feel at ease. I also have a large, fully fenced backyard where they can run and play safely, always under supervision. I follow each dog’s routine as closely as possible including feeding schedules, walks, and bedtime habits to help them feel right at home. Whether your dog is energetic or more laid-back, I adjust care to match their needs. For dog drop-in visits, I can stop by your home to provide feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and companionship. 🐱 Cat Care (Boarding & Drop-Ins) I also have experience caring for cats with a wide range of personalities, from social and playful to shy and independent. I understand that cats need a calm, patient approach, and I always let them come to me at their own pace. For drop-in visits, I make sure your cat stays comfortable in their own home while you’re away. Visits can include feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, and quiet companionship. If boarding, my home provides a calm, low-stress environment that’s ideal for cats. Since I only accept one family at a time, your cat will never be around unfamiliar animals. I never force interaction and always respect each cat’s comfort level. I’m also comfortable caring for multi-cat households and can follow detailed routines, including basic medication if needed. IMPORTANT NOTE: - Please let me know about their temperament. The more details the better. - To give each pet the attention, comfort, and calm environment they deserve, I only board pets from one family at a time. This means your pets will never have to share their space with unfamiliar animals, reducing stress and allowing me to fully focus on their individual needs. Whether your pets are playful, shy, or needs special care, I’m able to tailor their stay and provide a safe, peaceful, and loving home by away from home just for them. - Up to date vaccinations including rabies shots are REQUIRED. ** Pickup & Drop-Off Policy Drop-offs and pickups are available during agreed-upon hours. For scheduling and safety reasons, late-night drop-offs or pickups after 12am will incur a $20 late night pick up fee. Pickups and drop-offs are not available after 2am. Thank you 🐾
“When my husband and I had to go back to the office once a week I was worried how my new puppy and senior dog would do being alone in the house all day. I am so grateful we found Sona on Rover. She comes by the house while we’re gone to feed and play with the pups and give them a much needed potty brake. At first I was concerned that all of my requests would make me sound like an overbearing pet parent but Sona assured us that she was happy to do whatever made us comfortable while we were away. She follows every request to a tee and I can feel confident and secure knowing my dogs are happy and comfortable when we’re not home!”
“Justin was a great sitter for our two doggies! He played with them, fed them, and gave them water just as we asked. He also even picked up their poop which was a nice touch! He made it very easy for us to enjoy our getaway without needing to worry about our dogs. They were in great hands while we were gone!”

“Courtney is outstanding! She always goes above and beyond for our fur family!! She even saved us from a potential robber! She takes great care of her clients and ensures safety and amazing care of both pets and their owners!! Thank you Courtney you are a life saver!”

“We had a fantastic drop in visit with Georgina! Somi had a great time and I knew my pup was in good hands. She was all smiles! Great communication and followed everything I mentioned :)”

Grace is super sweet, I needed her to help drop-in twice a week while I was out of town. She made sure to keep me updated with pictures of my pup. I received a text whenever she'd arrive, and when she was done. The pup reports reassures me that someone is making sure my pup is doing okay. I would highly recommend Grace

Jacqueline was a pleasure to have take care of our fur babies. We appreciate her communication with us and all the pictures she sent. Not one day did we have to worry if our babies were ok. Maybe just the first day because we didn’t know what to expect. We have one really shy cat and we were worried she wouldn’t eat or come out of hiding but she did really great with her. She even played with them. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you.

I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️

Thank you again, Nick. This is our second time booking with Nick. He's always dependable, thorough, and great with the dogs. We'll be a regular return customer for as long as he's still available. I'm glad we've found a sitter we can trust and count on to be available when we need him.

I made a last minute change due to emergency and Jarvis could still accommodate. My velcro baby seems to get along with him. Jarvis kept me updated with photos, responded quickly, and raised questions about pet care. My fur baby needs to have eye drops every hour and he did it for me.

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.

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 use the 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.
