About: Hi I’m 26 years old! I have grown up around dogs all my life and I have always loved walking with them and getting to see what they find interesting. I promise that the walk will be focused on the dog not on just getting the walk over with. I have two dogs at my childhood home that I help take care of and walk whenever I am home, so I know the importance of a walk for a dog! I’m a teacher who has summers off! I’m hoping to fill my summer time with taking some great dogs for some nice walks. So my schedule is currently flexible and I am able to take your dog out during the work day! I’ll work during the school year but I’ll be more free during the summer for walks! I have a fenced in back yard at home that can allow dogs to run around without a leash. Something about dogs is that they can really benefit from a nice walk where they go at their own pace! That’s my goal for walking your dog, whether it’s slow walks or a light job, I’m here to help!

“Ally is great! While I’m at work, my mind is at ease, knowing that she is loving on and taking great care of my baby. Reading the little note and looking at the photos is something I look forward to during the day. My girl always looks so happy in the photos when she is with her”

As someone who has a cat with medical issues, I truly felt like my worries were attended to. I'm sure Blanket had a good time too!”
“Jason was amazing. I would recommend him as a sitter for your dog, cats and as a chicken checker...lol. Jason took great care of our dog on his drop ins and did a few extras too, like took an Amazon package in. Jason was reliable and had great communication. We will definitely use his services again.”

About: New clients: Use this promo code for a discount!!!: NIKKIW65428 My love for animals started with my first dog Kimba, a goofy beagle. He taught me to live in the moment & laugh all the laughs. After his passing I started watching neighbors animals and my love affair with them grew. I now have 3 of my own, 2 cats & 1 dog. I've worked at a boarding/ grooming facility where I became familiar with all breeds of dogs. I have administered meds, and learned so much about temperament, and the importance of redirection. Hey there! My name is Nikki & I've been a lover of animals my whole life. I have a dog & two cats & they're my entire world. I'll treat your pets as I treat mine, with a whole lot of LOVE & care. I have worked a veterinary office & a boarding facility & have experience with all breeds. I am able to come to your home and keep your companion company. We can play a game of catch or snuggle depending on what your dog prefers :)

“From the moment I met Ashley during her visit before we left for our trip, I had no doubt that they were attentive, kind and detailed. I had no hesitation leaving our kitty in her care.

Would not hesitate to book with them again!”

Kylie did such an amazing job taking care of my boy. I was so worried to leave him because I hadn’t left him alone before but as soon as I met Kylie I knew he would be in good hands. She provided updates and photos of him and it made me feel better and able to enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend her!
We had an amazing experience with Dany! She was absolutely wonderful with our two babies, Peanut and Shayla (our pit and pit mix). From the very beginning, she was kind, personable, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. For every drop-in visit, Dany sent us pictures and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were happy and well cared for. She went above and beyond to make sure they were comfortable and loved. We even accidentally forgot to feed the dogs before leaving, and Dany had no problem stepping in and taking care of it for us. Her willingness to help and attention to detail truly meant a lot. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. Peanut and Shayla were in great hands, and we wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Highly recommend Dany to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter!

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 .

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.
