About: I have had dogs all my life and currently have 2 dogs. My dogs are my babies and I will treat yours just like my own. I have crate trained young dogs to caring for senior pups as well. I am reliable and trust worthy. I work remotely and can stop in or walk morning and afternoon during the week and anytime on Saturday or Sunday as needed for your pet. I have dogs of my own and need to come to your home to take care of your pets. My older dog is hit or miss getting along with other dogs so I will not be able to have your pets at my house.
“Stephany takes very good care of my cats and they have warmed up to her beautifully, even my skittish siamese, Cava! She leaves detailed updates and takes really great pics of my girls enjoying her visits.”
“cannot say enough good things about [Dog Sitter’s Name]. From the very beginning, communication was clear, prompt, and friendly, which instantly gave me peace of mind. [He/She/They] took the time to understand my dog’s routine, personality, and little quirks, and it really showed in the care provided. Throughout the stay, I received regular updates and photos, and it was obvious that my dog was happy, comfortable, and well-loved. When I came home, everything was spotless, and my pup was relaxed and content (a true sign of great care!). It’s not easy to trust someone with your furry family member, but Jewell exceeded all expectations. Reliable, caring, and professional — I would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your dog like their own.”
“Briana was amazing!! not only did she take care of my kitties, she brought in my mail, brought in my trash cans and cleaned up new kitten, disasters!! I will 100% user again for future trips!”
“Krystal was great! Very communicative, I loved reading her stories about my kitties & how they were doing. She was also wonderful about posting photos. I really appreciate her, she’s the best!”

I am very active with my dog and we play ball, walk and he is literally one of the family! I am happy to continue your pup’s typical routine though and will ensure they are safe and loved!
About: I have taken care of animals my whole life, and have cared for 4 dogs in my home until. I love dogs, the outdoors, and being active, so dog walking is super fun for me! I have experience with high-energy dogs as well as slower senior pups. I work part-time and have a very flexible schedule, so I have plenty of free time for your pets! I’m currently available all day (including early mornings) until evening, Monday-Saturday for walks or check-in visits. I currently have Bo, a senior pitbull, who is super chill and has no problems with other dogs. I also recently got a Belgian Malinois puppy named Darth Vader! Mercury, my brother’s 6 year old Australian Cattle dog, loves to play and I take care of him on occasion. We have a large patio and pool that dogs can enjoy laying in the sun or swimming! I also have a super walk able neighborhood, with a walking trail that is off the pavement. Additionally, I do enjoy taking dogs in the car for walks in new locations or trips to the dog beach/park!
About: Growing up, I always had pets: dogs, cats, hamsters, mice, fish, guinea pigs, and birds. I loved animals, and I still do. My home is very clean, not just for myself but for them as well. Pets have always been a soft spot for me, and I make time for them every day. I can’t remember a time without furry friends in my home! I’m observant and attentive to every pet’s personality. I make sure they feel comfortable in their favorite spots, whether it’s their bed or a special corner in your home. I follow all instructions carefully from meals and treats to medications and routines to give your pet the care they deserve.
“Katherine was incredibly sweet and compassionate with my lil dude (cat) who recently lost his bonded mate so he was a little all over the place for their visits, and I just so appreciate her - perfect blend of kindness and expertise. I had to leave unexpectedly and book her last minute for a few days and she really went the extra mile for us, I knew he was in good hands at her first drop-in. Thanks Katherine! 🤍🙌”
“We had a great experience booking with Tony! He was always on time, communicative, and took great care of Murphy. It was nice knowing that Murphy was getting a good walk and some extra attention while we were away. Murphy clearly loved his walks with him, which made us feel even more comfortable and confident leaving him in his care. We really appreciate how dependable and caring he was and would definitely book with him again!”
“Jessica was absolutely fantastic! Very attentive to my 2 cats, communicative, respectful, punctual and very sweet. I couldn't ask for a better cat carer while I'm gone to ease my anxiety of being away from my senior cats. I will definitely use her again if the need arises.”
“Kim was wonderful with our kitty Sofia! Sofia met her every time at the door and was so happy to see her. Sofia ate very well and was very well taken care of by Kim. I would highly recommend Kim to drop in and spend time with your kitty ❤️❤️”
About: - Currently, I WFH part time so I have flexibility to take care of your fur baby. - I have a lovely bunny (Bunzo) that I had with me for 3.5 years and have treated him like a prince.

I will be happy to walk dogs in nearby spots they enjoy.

I ensure their safety in any way possible from basic common sense to special requests from owners.

The most important would be away from your pups are 4.5 hours. I own and run a boat tour business in the area. Most of my trips are 4 hours max. Whatever your rules are at your home is what I do. When I take them out on adventures I always keep them on leash unless it is gated. Even if they have recall, I don't chance that.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Gate Ridge
We had a wonderful experience with Sabrina during her drop-in visits with Luna. Luna is an 8-year-old Siamese with a strong personality — a "cool customer" who shows affection on her own terms and doesn't warm up to just anyone. Sabrina read her perfectly: she gave Luna the playtime and attention she needs without pushing, and let her set the pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates that showed she genuinely paid attention to Luna's quirks. If you have a pet with opinions and want someone patient and truly caring, Sabrina is your person. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.
Kim is absolutely wonderful and we can’t recommend her highly enough! She watched our two dogs, Rosie and Tigger, and treated them like her own. From the start, it was clear how much she genuinely loves animals. She kept us updated with photos and messages, followed all their routines perfectly, and gave them tons of attention and affection. Rosie and Tigger were relaxed, happy, and well cared for the entire time—no small feat with two dogs! It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Kim is reliable, communicative, and clearly a natural with dogs. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy to watch your pups, Kim is the one. We’ll definitely be booking her again!
I can’t thank Sofia enough for being so flexible and accommodating. My plans changed unexpectedly, and I had to adjust the schedule for her visits, but she adapted without any issues and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She kept me updated on my dog the entire time with photos and detailed notes, which made me feel so relieved and at ease. Since it was my first time using Rover, I was a little nervous, but Sofia made the whole experience wonderful. I honestly recommend her 100%! She is responsible, reliable, and truly committed to the pets she cares for. I will definitely book with her again! Thanks so much 💙
Hailey was amazing taking care of my two kitties. One of them takes medication and she did everything asked. Chaz is very weary with other people. It took a couple times and Chaz was happy to see her. She was also quick of responding to me when I wanted her to add some medication to my other cat. I’m new to this and glad I decided to go with her. I will use her in the future. She was so very nice, thank you Hailey!
Meara was available last minute and I felt at ease because of how communicative she was! From the pictures it looks like my dogs had a wonderful time with her! I am so grateful for all the details and knowing my dogs were safe and well cared for. I will definitely use her again in the future.

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.
