About: I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with photos and messages along the way so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your pets and become someone you can trust to care for them! 🐶🐱❤️ I work during the day and get off pretty early, so I’m looking for a fun excuse to get outside, get some steps in, and fill my pet fever by loving on other people’s pets! I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with them, whether that means going for a walk, getting some playtime in, or just giving them some extra attention and companionship. I do have a cat of my own, but unfortunately he has made it very clear that he does NOT want to go on walks with me. So, I’d love to help give your pup the walks, attention, and care they deserve while you’re busy! I think any animal would keep me more company than the other way around! 🐾 I absolutely love animals and miss my childhood pups so much since moving away from my parents and not getting to see them as often. I’m excited to have the opportunity to give that same love and attention to your pets! I’m happy to provide whatever care each individual animal needs, following the routines, instructions, and preferences provided by their owner. Whether they need a good walk, some playtime, extra cuddles, or simply some company, I’d love to be there for them!
“Rebecca took wonderful care of our cat while we were on vacation. Twice a day visits that included love and attention in addition to the basic required care. Hope she's available when we need this service again.”

About: I’ve had dogs since I was 5 years old! Currently I have a 85 lb lab/pit mix, and a 65 lb mut! I love to play with your dogs by playing with their toys with them, talking them on long walks, giving all the cuddles the want, loading them up with love and pets, and staying on their routine like they would if you were there!

About: I’ve worked at a dog daycare/ kennel for a few months but then left because I became a physical therapist assistant. I absolutely love dogs, but not ready for my own right now financially so I figured I could take care and spoil other peoples dogs while I wait until I’m ready!! I’ve had my childhood dog for 16 amazing years and I have dog sat for a few people already! I will watch my sisters dogs when needed which she has a Newfoundland (who is obsessed with me) and a chihuahua. I have dog sat for my boss before as well. Your dog will be in great hands with me and will get lots of playtime and snuggles!! I am usually free on the weekends only, since I do work an 8-5 job, so the week days do not work the best overall for boarding or dog daycare. but if you need someone to walk your dog after 5 or a drop in visit during the week on my lunch breaks and after 5 as well, I am able to do that! My apartment has a fenced in area for dogs to play and roam. My apartment complex is very dog friendly and has a good neighborhood to go on a walks with your dog. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and in the bed for bedtime snuggles!!
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and enjoy spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’m reliable, patient, and will treat your pet like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog needs walks, playtime, feeding, medication reminders, or just lots of love and attention, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet, and I’ll provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind. I work part-time and attend cosmetology school, but I keep my schedule organized so I can provide reliable pet care. I’m available for drop-in visits, walks, and pet sitting around my work and school hours, and I’ll always make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll follow your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, medications (if needed), and any special instructions exactly as requested. I understand that every pet is different, and I’ll treat your home with respect while making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.

Pet care will be my summer job! When I am not on vacation myself, I will be available. I am incredibly flexible. I can stay at your home or come and go as your pet needs! I have a fenced in yard and four dogs of my own. I am no stranger to cleaning up messes or using a lint roller before I leave the house.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Southern View
Jossalyn took such great care of our kitties, and communicated very well with us throughout our trip. She didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions, and was very sweet and gentle with our cats. She even convinced our one skittish cat who normally never comes out for cat sitters to come out and eat some tube treat from her! She also sent cute pics of them for each visit. :) I would definitely book with her again!

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.
