About: I have a very flexible hybrid work schedule and spend the day at home on mondays, wednesdays & fridays. I live on 18 acre, so there’s plenty of room to play, but I also have a fenced in yard around my house. I’m a total animal lover, and I can promise whether your baby is staying with me or i’m coming to them, they will be happy and comfortable. I’ve had dogs my whole life, and couldn’t imagine life without them! Your pet will totally love hanging out with us and going on walks, or just snuggling if that’s what they’re into :) I have a history of both house and dog sitting for friends, family, and families that I babysit for. I have tons of experiences with dogs at all ages of life, and with special needs as one of my own was epileptic and required medication daily for seizures. We would be so happy if you let us hang out with your pets!! I work from home most of the time so your dog won’t be alone often. My dog spends most of her time with me and sleeping when we’re away :) I have separate areas if needed to keep any visitors happy. My is fenced in but I have no problem leash walking (I have 50ft leashes) anyone who comes!

About: Hi, I'm Brittany! I'm a Christian, proud dog mom to Bailey, and an animal lover with a heart for serving others. While I'm new to professional pet sitting and dog walking, I believe what sets me apart is the love, patience, and attention I give every pet. I know our furry friends are family, and I treat them that way! You can count on regular updates, lots of affection, and dependable care every step of the way. My faith guides me to serve with kindness, honesty, and compassion, and I'd be honored to care for your four-legged family member as if they were my own. 🐾💕 I currently work full time from home which allows me to be available for care in my home. I am also free after work because i have a open schedule after work I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, providing plenty of love, exercise, and attention, and ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: My lifelong hands-on experience and genuine love for dogs. I’ve been caring for my own dogs since I was 10 years old, which has taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different dog personalities and needs. I’m comfortable working with puppies and reinforcing basic training like leash manners, crate routines, and positive behavior habits. I’m also attentive and gentle with senior dogs, making sure they move at their own pace, stay comfortable, and get any extra care or patience they may need. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, even as a full-time student. I’m organized with my schedule and intentionally leave open time between classes and in the afternoons to walk and care for dogs. Being active and spending time outdoors is already part of my routine, so dog walking blends perfectly into my day. Pet care isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I genuinely enjoy making time for. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow all instructions carefully — including feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and any special care needs. I make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while also respecting the home and keeping everything clean and organized.

About: I've always had a passion for animals since I was very little. I was never able to have them of my own growing up because my dad was highly allergic. Once I graduated high school I moved out and rescued my first dog from a backyard breeder. He was a Pit-bull mix. 4 months later I rescued my golden saint from a hoarding situation which ended up in all of her animals getting taken away. I realized I wanted to help save more animals so I ended up becoming a foster mom. My first foster was a 7 year old Rottweiler named Sabrina. I only had her a short 3 months before I was told she had a stomach tumor that was not curable. I unfortunately made the decision to get her cremated and the last words I said to her was " I promise I will save as many animals like you as I possibly can." I kept that promise to her after 8 years already and plan to for many many more! Fast forward to today, i suddenly lost my soul dog in January 2026 but still have my golden saint and a Catahoula Leopard dog. He was my first foster fail 6 years ago. I wanted to extend my experience even more so now I pet sit/dog walk as well! I am experienced with senior dogs, puppies, aggressive dogs as well as dogs with high anxiety I have taken care of all sorts of animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, birds, snakes, miniature pigs, and of course cats and dogs! I treat every animal like my own and I guarantee I will become their best friend! My goal is to eventually own a building and name it in Sabrina's memory:) I am available for in home stays in your own home, overnights, drop ins, and dog walks on week days and weekends. If you see a date that is marked unavailable please still reach out to me as I might have some spots open or a last minute cancellation for those days. It is first come first serve so book while the dates are still available! In home/overnights- This includes play time, bathroom breaks, food and water replenishment, medication administration, baths if needed, walks, picture/video updates, and lots of snuggles! Drop ins- This includes food and water replenishment, bathroom breaks and a little bit of play time! Dog walking- I offer 1/2 hour walks and 1 hour walks

About: I have had dogs and cats, and taken care of other small animals for my family for years. I understand the bond of families with their animals and respect that! I am retired from full time work, but do participate in volunteer activity. A part time role of caring for your pet as needed will best fit my schedule. Or providing in home care for your pet while you travel will work as well. I am happy to come and take care of your pets in your home, where they are comfortable in their own environment. I respect the pet owners preferences on how best to care for their beloved pet.

About: Growing up my family had 3 pups of our own and we also fostered, so i started learning how to work with and train dogs very early on. In 2022 I started dog sitting for people in my neighbourhood. In 2024 I worked at a daycare where I started doing training sessions for some of our clients. By 2025 I got certified in pet CPR and first aid, and started working at a different daycare. I love learning about and working with dogs, and i can’t wait to meet yours! I use a training/care style that makes trust and teamwork between me and your dog, i understand that when setting new expectations or training a new skill it is up to me to help the dog understand, not get frustrated or scare them into submission. I believe patience and consistency are keys to success! I am pretty much fully available weekends, mondays, and tuesdays! Any other day of the week i am available after 6pm when i get out of work. I do not pet sit in my own home because i have 2 disabled cats, however I am willing to stay in your home to pet sit, or just stop by throughout the day/night if that is what you prefer! I can work with any of your dogs special needs and administer medications. Your dogs safety and comfort are my top priority, tell me what you need and I will make it happen!

About: Growing up I always had cats and dogs in my life. From big to small, young to old. I get along with all animals I come in contact to, I have a lot of free time and would love to take care and give love. I have a lot of free time after work. I am also open to staying over night or them staying over night at my house with my two cats. I’m very flexible. I would keep an eye on all times and make sure they are loved.

About: I’ve been a pet-parent of both dogs and cats since I was a kid, and I have experience watching other people’s pets, too! I only work part time, so i’m available most times/days of the week. My schedule is also very flexible, so I can always move things around to prioritize your pet. I have a fully fenced-in side and backyard with lots of room for running and playing. I also have stairs for getting onto high furniture for dogs with accessibility needs.
About: While moving around and apartment living has not allowed me to have pets currently, I have years of experience with animals in general, specifically dogs. I live in WNY now but grew up in rural PA on a mini farm with lots of animals doggies included. We mainly owned Belgian Sheepdogs and I trained/showed in the 4H program through my teens. Life changes took me away from continuing in that lifestyle and unfortunately from owning pets at all. However, I've been jonesing for some dog time and also an extra side hustle is always helpful! I've dealt with dogs with from all ages and anything I'm not familiar with I'm always open to learn and implement what works best for your situation. I would love to meet you and help out with your fur babies as needed! 😊 I am trying to get into pet sitting as a side hustle but I have a flexible schedule right now so I'm pretty open! I don't have a home that accommodates keeping pets in but can travel to you! I can only do in client home care but will care for your pet(s) to your preferences! I am not offering overnight stays at this current time but can do drop ins or stay for a duration of time.
About: I have taken care of animals for family and friends for a few years now and want to expanded into caring into looking after the pets if other family’s that want to travel but unfortunately cannot bring their animals with them. I currently work in a restaurant as a line cook and have 5-8 hour days starting as early as 2pm and ending as late as 10pm so I am able to mostly do morning care and late night care but I can adjust my schedule as needed for emergency’s. I am able to adapt to any type of care needed including daily training or cleanup if needed and love to take my own dogs on walks and just relax with them when they are tired.
About: I’ve never lived in a house without my family owning multiple dogs. I’ve always loved to play and walk them, especially my own 2 dogs now! They are very young and active, which has taught me a lot. I am a waitress so I typically don’t start work until 4 or 5 pm, my shifts are anywhere from 3 to 5 hours. this gives me plenty of time during the day to walk or check in on your pups! I have my own dogs which could play with or also be kept separated from your dog. We have an awesome fenced in backyard with lots of room to run & play!

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.
