“Nichelle was absolutely amazing. She went above and beyond providing care for my cat. And communicated with me the entire way through. I would 100% recommend her services”
About: I’ve spent my whole life caring for animals, so it is much more than just a job to me. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. From energetic dog who needs extra walks and playtime to a cat who prefers a quiet visit, fresh food, and space to warm up on their own terms. With multiple years of pet-sitting experience, I’m comfortable handling daily feeding and fresh water, walks and exercise, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, medication when needed, basic cleanup, overnight routines, and plenty of affection and reassurance while you’re away. My flexible schedule allows me to work with a variety of care needs, including daytime drop-ins, walks, extended visits, overnight stays, and last-minute requests when availability allows. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal schedule and keep owners updated, so you can relax knowing your animals are safe, happy, and cared for like family. I also bring professional dog-grooming experience and training to every visit. Working as a groomer has taught me how to read dog body language, safely handle dogs with different temperaments, and help even nervous pets feel more comfortable. I have experience working with a variety of breeds, and sizes. My grooming background gives me an extra level of confidence in recognizing when a dog may be stressed, uncomfortable, or simply needs a little extra patience. I specialize in working with high anxiety or animal with special needs. My goal is to provide dependable, loving, and personalized care that fits both your pet’s needs and your schedule. I currently work part time as a dog groomer a few days a week. However my schedule allows for a lot of flexibility. I am able to accommodate almost any schedule. I’m comfortable handling daily feeding and fresh water, walks and exercise, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, medication when needed, basic cleanup, and overnight routines. I can also provide in-home baths and nail trims for dogs with a small additional fee.
“This is my third time with Victoria. She's amazing. It took her two days to find my super shy Kitty but she did. And that's not on Victoria, that's on Kitty being an excellent hider. They were all well fed well loved well taken care of.. I'm using her again in 3 weeks. Highly recommend Victoria.”
About: I have 10 years of watching, bathing, and taking care of dogs. I definitely make sure that I give 125% whenever I take care of pets I can walk pets after I get off work at 6 and anytime during the day on the weekends. I can also watch pets over the weekend at a moments notice. I make sure that the safety of the pet is the priority whenever I watch the pet. I make sure that the animal is comfortable and knows that he/she can trust me.
About: I’ve always been a big dog lover! I have worked as a kennel technician between 2021-2024 and the experience was amazing. To add I also have a senior (12) and a middle age dog (7) of my own. I love to take care of them. I am working full time Monday-Thursday with the availability of free evenings. I am fully available Friday-Sunday for dog walking and/or dog-sitting. I currently live in an apartment with two reactive pets. I would prefer to dog-sit as it would be safer for all pets. I am always gauging unbelonging behavior amongst my dogs.
“This is my third time booking Grace - she’s so attentive and really cares for my kitties! She makes traveling and being away a little less stressful knowing my babies are taken care of! I highly recommend booking her. Thanks Grace!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, geckos, snakes, including FERRETS, and many more! I’ve been responsible for cats and dogs within my family since I was 13. I fed, changed litters, fetched, gave love and kisses. Snake, I was 12. I had a BOA snake. I always watched my mother feed the snake, loved to play with it, & gave it love. Many of my friends have lizards (even bearded ones), hamsters, rabbits, FARM animals (of course, followed by instructions), and many more!! And the ferret I rescued passed last year. I will love ANY animals. I’m right here to help if no one will take care, not just for dogs and cats. I’m right here! ❤️🐾 🐾 I have mostly experience in taking care of (definitely not every animal, tho), taking care of them. I love them! Yes! I feed exotic animals with no issues. I'm sure this wild part of who I am is with animals, exotic animals, and FARM animals, definitely apart from many people, perhaps. I enjoy pets, willing to take out for a walk, or to housesitting. I make friends with pets, even with aggressive ones. Easy to show no fear. Maybe I'll become a trainer one day. The home I’m staying at is not my home, but I can take care of your animals at yours, I love to play what they play. Dogs can fetch in the backyard or the dog park close by. Cats, I like to play with sticks to earn their trust. !!!!!!! ***I have no fear of any type of home animals*** !!!!!!!
About: My pet care experience comes from many years of caring for my own pets and helping family members with their dogs and cats. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, playtime, administering basic care, and providing plenty of attention and companionship. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while in my care. I have a very flexible schedule and am available most weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I work occasional temporary assignments, but I carefully manage my calendar to ensure I can provide dependable care and attention to the pets I accept. I have a securely fenced yard and a friendly Golden Retriever. Pets staying with me will enjoy supervised outdoor time, walks, play, and plenty of attention. I provide a safe, comfortable environment and treat every pet as part of the family while keeping their usual routines whenever possible.
“Christen was great! She checked in on my cat Christopher several times while I was out of town. Each time, she made sure his litter, food, and water were in good order, took several pictures, and provided a nice write up. Chris is normally fairly shy, but he seemed to warm up to her pretty quickly. Christen was also great at communicating—she always gave me a heads when needed. I'd definitely recommend her!”
“We highly recommend Nick! My dogs immediately took to him. He’s a calm and mature person who instinctively knows how to effectively handle pets and any situation. We will be using him for in-home pet care and more.”
“Anna was so great! Tide and Frankie loved getting so see her and she sent so many cute pictures! I felt so much better knowing she was there to let my girls out! Thank you Anna!”
“Amanda took such great care of our pups. Wonderful communication. Followed their care plan precisely which provided a lot of comfort and relief being away. Will definitely request her again in the future!”
About: I have taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a child. I have vast experience with anxious or nervous dogs and ones with high energy. I have cared for dogs from Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to Great Danes, Mastiffs, and Huskies and currently regularly dog sit two dogs. I have taken care of puppies as well as older dogs with special needs including two diabetic dachshunds that went blind. I also have no issue with changing diapers for dogs as needed! I am currently available any time except for Tuesdays from 1:30pm to 3pm for pet care! I don’t mind checking on pets very early or very late in the day either! I prefer to meet the client/pet prior to beginning pet sitting to ensure I can ask all necessary questions for their care. I have experience with anxious animals and am fast at picking up on each animals specific preferences.
“Autumn is the absolute best. She keeps me informed about every single thing w/ her interaction with my babies. I have two German Shepards and a Minature Aussie. All working breeds, so it’s a handful and she is able to handle it. Not to mention, one of the German Shepards are a puppy. It’s a lot, and she is a pro!! We always tell our dogs “Autumn is coming.” & we are pretty sure they know her by name LOL. They love her!”
“Carrie took exceptional care of my cat! She met him prior to watching him to assure she was familiar with any of his needs. She sent lots of pictures and videos while caring for him. It was very evident my cat loves her and that she was great with animals. I will definitely be using her services again and recommend her to friends.”

Once again, our pup had an amazing time with Samantha and we felt totally at ease! She is observant, kind, trustworthy, great with animals, and excellent at communication. We wouldn’t want to use anyone else! It’s hard to be away from your pet, but having them in Samantha’s care makes it 100x easier!!

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 .

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 use the 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.
