“Madison was great and went above and beyond during her visits. Our Cat Mocha is doing great and things are in order, we did not have any issues or questions . We will definitely keep her in mind for the upcoming trips/plan, as well as refer her to others. We really appreciate Madison's help. The whole process was very smooth. Thanks Rover and Madison!”
“Molly was wonderful caring for our sweet Theo and Sophia today . i would definitely call Molly back. It is such a joy when u know your fur babies are getting the extra love and care when u are not home and can't give it to them yourself. We came home to happy little pups.”
“Charis was punctual and sent me a note and several pictures. Prior to the visit, she made this overprotective pet mom feel better by engaging in a video chat. As I ended up in the ER with my husband on the same day, Charis did not hesitate to accept my request for her to come back that night but it ended up not being necessary.”
“Shirley is an amazing sitter! One of the more thoughtful ones we’ve had based on the questions she asked. My dog did incredibly well under her care and we will certainly book with her again!”
About: I have had pets and have been around animals my whole life. I have pet sit dogs of all sizes. I don’t mind cleaning up after accidents lol. I have experience taking pups to their grooming appointments. If you have any special requests such as administering meds let me know. I am currently a college student studying pre-med. I also have a part-time job that is very flexible, so if you notify me in advance I can definitely accommodate. I am pretty much completely free throughout the holiday season. It all depends on the pet. I am very accommodating. I like playing with the energetic pups, but I also love cuddling with the shy ones too. If it’s a drop in, i’ll pass by 3-4 times a day for an hour or so.
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 20 years, starting with dogs and cats growing up, and later managing a household of up to 5 dogs and 2-3 cats at a time as an adult. In college I even helped bottle-raise baby animals alongside a close friend who’s now a veterinarian. I have hands-on experience with senior pet care, including managing diabetes with insulin injections for both a dog and a cat, and administering subcutaneous fluids to an elderly cat. I’m comfortable with pets who need extra medical attention or a gentler pace, as well as high-energy pups who need a good long walk. As a homeowner and mom of three, I understand how much trust it takes to hand over your keys and your pet. I treat every home and every animal like it’s my own. My schedule varies day to day, so before I confirm any booking, I check my calendar to make sure I can fully commit — once I say yes, you can count on me. I’m generally available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I’ll always give you a clear answer up front about what I can take on. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely: feeding schedules, medication routines, favorite toys, and any house rules you have. I’m experienced with medication administration, including insulin injections and subcutaneous fluids for pets with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for seniors or pets with health conditions. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. As a homeowner with three kids myself, I understand the trust it takes to let someone into your space, and I take that seriously
“Annie was fantastic! She came over to meet my cat and get care instructions prior to her drop-ins and took wonderful care of my baby while I was gone? Great communication, great pricing, and she sent lots of pictures! Will definitely book with her again next time!”
“5 Star Review**** I had scheduled a sitter for 3 days. The sitter came the first day and never showed up the 2nd day. I reached out to Bryan and he came over within an hour of accepting the job. I can’t thank you enough Bryan!!”
“Sydnee is an excellent animal caretaker! My husband and I hired Sydnee to drop in and take care of our cats while we were on a short trip away, and we will gladly hire her again! She is very kind and cares deeply for your fur babies! She is also very professional, reliable, thorough, and a great communicator. She went above and beyond on more than one occasion to be accommodating to us, and even checked our mail for us! We highly recommend Sydnee and will gladly be repeat customers in the future!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have one amazing pup of my own! My love for dogs naturally turned into a career—I started out doing dog- and housesitting for years, eventually moving into a kennel role handling boarding and basic grooming. Now, as a Veterinary Technician, I get to combine my lifelong hands-on experience with professional clinical knowledge to make sure every dog I meet is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. As a veterinary technician, animal care is my full-time passion. I work manageable 7-hour shifts, meaning your pets will never be alone for extended periods. My daily routine involves early morning care and walks before my shift, and my evenings are completely dedicated to pet enrichment, feeding routines, and house-sitting. Having managed kennel boarding and cared for dogs my entire life, integrating new pets into a safe, reliable, and structured daily routine is second nature to me. Whether at my place or yours, I prioritize safety and a stress-free routine. In your home, I have years of house-sitting experience and know how to make pets feel secure when their family is absent, all while treating your home with the utmost respect. If hosting at my house, I draw on my professional boarding experience to safely manage introductions with my own pets and maintain a peaceful environment. From administering complex medications to basic grooming, I bring a veterinary technician's eye to everyday pet care.
About: I am a dog trainer who has worked many different types of dog breeds. I am also a pet mom and have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life. I am currently out of school for the summer, and I am available for all your pet sitting or dog training needs. It's my pleasure. As a professional pet sitter and trainer, I ensure your beloved pets receive the best care. I feed them on schedule, engage in playtime, provide ample cuddles, and take them on regular walks. I treat each pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Your pets' well-being and happiness are my top priorities.
About: i’ve been taking care of dogs of my own, family members and friends for a long time now. this includes potty training younger dogs and giving special care for elderly dogs or dogs that have special dietary restrictions i am available typically at most times except for the occasions when i am spending time with family on the weekends but that is neither here nor there i have a fenced in yard with lots of space. there are a dog and a puppy living here right now but they can be separated from your dog(s) if need be
About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my lifelong love for animals, my hands-on experience, and my ability to care for pets of all sizes, breeds, personalities, and temperaments! 🐾❤️ I’ve grown up surrounded by animals and have always had a special place in my heart for both cats and dogs. Since I was 14, I’ve gained experience with pet sitting, dog walking, and working at doggy daycare facilities. During my time at doggy daycares, I’ve cared for everything from large Great Danes and energetic Pit Bull mixes to tiny pups with big personalities! These experiences have taught me how to understand different behaviors, recognize body language, and provide safe, attentive care. I’m also very comfortable caring for multiple animals at once! Whether you have several dogs, multiple cats, or a household with both, I’m happy to help. My doggy daycare experience has taught me how to manage different personalities, energy levels, and routines while making sure every animal receives the individual attention, patience, and love they deserve. I also have a special love for cats, especially those who may be shy, fearful, independent, or a little temperamental! Growing up, I’ve helped feral cats gradually become comfortable living indoors as loving house cats. Through those experiences, I’ve learned that earning an animal’s trust takes time, consistency, kindness, and patience. If your kitty is a little feisty, nervous around strangers, or prefers their personal space, that’s perfectly okay! I understand how to recognize signs of stress, respect boundaries, and allow them to become comfortable with me at their own pace. The same goes for dogs who may be anxious, energetic, or need a little extra reassurance. I believe what truly makes me different is that I don’t expect every animal to behave the same way. Every pet has their own personality, comfort level, and needs, and I take the time to understand what makes them feel safe and happy. I’m experienced with feeding, dog walking, playtime, litter box cleaning and maintenance, maintaining routines, and providing companionship. I also offer house-sitting services, so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment while I make sure your home is respected, tidy, and well cared for. Above all, I’m reliable, dependable, patient, and genuinely passionate about animals. Whether you have one cuddly kitty, a house full of energetic pups, or a mix of furry personalities, I’ll do my very best to make sure everyone feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Your pets are family, and I promise to treat them with the same kindness, patience, and love that I give my own! 🐶🐱💕 I’m currently attending school online, which gives me flexibility with my schedule and allows me to accommodate different pet care needs! I’m always happy to discuss availability and find a schedule that works best for you and your furry family members! 💖 When caring for pets in a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment! I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and individual needs, so I always do my best to follow their usual schedule, whether that includes feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, or plenty of cuddles! I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes and will make sure everything stays clean, tidy, and well cared for while you’re away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with both your beloved pets and your home. Communication is extremely important to me! I’ll happily provide regular updates, pictures, and messages throughout my visits so you can see how your furry family members are doing. Whether they’re enjoying a walk, playing with their favorite toys, or relaxing at home, I want you to feel reassured knowing they’re happy and receiving plenty of love and attention. My goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible, knowing your pets and home are in caring, reliable, and dependable hands! 🐶🐱❤️
“Yeni accepted my request at last minute and took care of my westie allowing me to be at an event worry-free. She was on time, left everything as she found it and most importantly took great care of my dog. I will use her again but will provide her a little more notice than 3 days.”
“Tessa is AMAZING. Choosing her to watch my two pups was the best decision I made for them. She showed up on time, treated them with love and followed directions perfectly. One of my fosters was having some behavioral issues and Tessa took the time to make him feel comfortable. 10/10 recommend her.”

Tamara was absolutely fantastic! Our pups were so comfortable with her taking care of them. She has a great way of getting them to bond with them very quickly. We have had quite a few sitters over the many years of having dogs but Tamara had to be one of the very best 😊

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.
