“Brooke was a pleasure to work with. Very attentive, detailed and could tell she loves dogs. We were able to leave our senior boxer knowing she was in good hands and would be well taken care of. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.”
“She took such great care of all of our dogs and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. One of our dogs can be reactive around new people, and she handled everything so patiently, calmly, and professionally. She took the time to build trust and made our dog feel comfortable, which meant so much to us.”
About: My mom has taken care of other people’s dogs for years, and I’ve helped her on many occasions. I’ve also attended dog training classes with my own two dogs! My availability is a little different than my calendar, but Rover won’t allow me to change it. SO, this is my availability around my spring semester classes: Mondays from 12pm-3pm, Wednesdays anytime after noon (may vary with my work schedule), Fridays all day (may also vary with my work schedule), and every other weekend (reach out to find out when). I am not available Tuesdays or Thursdays! My schedule can change, so don’t hesitate to reach out and ask if you have any questions! I’ll be able to do whatever you need; whether it be playing or walking, helping potty train and learn tricks. I also go for runs, so if your dog has more energy, I can take him/her on a run instead of a walk! If interested, I do have some younger siblings if you’d like to get your pet(s) used to kids!
“Breana did a fabulous job taking care of our two pups while we were gone on vacation. From the moment my dogs met her they instantly connected with her. Breana was great at sending photos of the dogs every time she stopped by our home to take care of them. I’d highly recommend Breana if you’re looking for a true animal lover who is trustworthy and genuine to take care of your fur babies. We will definitely rebook her in the future!”
“Brianna did a drop in visit to check on our cat and did a great job in every respect! She was friendly and professional, prompt in communication and did everything our cat needed. I would certainly recommend her services and hire her again!”
About: I love walking and playing with your dog. I will give your four legged family members love and attention while you are away! I have been dog walking and sitting for 10+ years and love seeing the happy smiles and wagging tails when I come to see them. I also have experience with giving medication and baths. I enjoy playing and getting the dogs moving to make sure they work off some of their energy. I also enjoy just sitting with them and giving them some cuddles and let them snuggle up with me for some loving head scratches. Whether its just a walk during the day or an extended stay while you are away, I will make sure your dogs will have fun and be loved.
About: Growing up I had the opportunity to baby sit my neighbors many pets including dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, tortoises, birds, and more! I've also baby sat for relatives dogs. I recently lost my beloved senior dog, but would love to be able to put that love I once gave him into caring for your pets. I'm a registered nurse and typically work 3 12 hour shifts a week. On my days off I am available for walks or home drop ins! Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or interests! I have experience walking and homing my families dogs, and administering oral medications.
About: I grew up surrounded by pets; my family had 2 small dogs and several cats, my grandparents all had medium dogs, my best friend's all had various sized dogs and cats. Once I moved out during college, I began researching husbandry for lizards and small pets (specifically hamsters, ferrets, and small birds) and eventually got a few cats of my own. During my college years, I worked at a pet store and helped families find the right pet for their household and make sure they had the information needed to best care for their pet. Today, I am the parent of 2 cats, 3 ferrets, and several reptiles. I help care for, house sit, and train my friend's dogs as well. In the past few summers I was also hired as a dog walker by several friends to help get their large breed puppy outside to burn off some energy while they were away at work. These walks were also the perfect time for us to practice skills that they were working on in training. I am a lover of all animals, big and small. I love getting to know different pets and all their quirks and I hope your pet will love getting to know me! I work from home during the school year with summers off which gives me flexibility to work from anywhere and make potty breaks (or play breaks) throughout the day. I often have events that I attend on the weekends but am usually done by 5PM when I have those events. For senior dogs that need help getting to their favorite spot on the couch, I am able to lift up to 50lbs. I am able to handle dogs up to 80lbs on walks (maybe more, but so far, I have only had experience walking dogs up to 80lbs).
About: I worked at a dog daycare and boarding place for 2 years. I have looked over and cared for puppies to senior dogs including meds and special care such as epilepsy, injuries, aggression, and much more. I also have trained my own dogs and many friends dogs. I trained my aussie in agility and my old lab in dock diving and duck hunting. I love all dogs regardless of background, breed, size, and shape. I have also worked with delivering and the aftercare of brand new puppies! I recently got laid off, so I have plenty of free time for yours and my pet! I have a high energy Australian Shepherd, so proper dog care takes up a lot of my time! I will always put your pup first and make sure he/she is happy, healthy, and loving his/her vacation from everyday life. I usually take my own on a walk every morning and would be so excited to bring a new friend with around the neighborhood. I also like to go over training and give lots of love and high-quality treats!
About: I have been working with animals since I was young. I currently have 7 dogs. I groom and work with many breeds. I am trusted with dogs and cats everyday for grooming now I would love to add in walking and pet sitting. I currently work part time which leaves me the flexibility in the afternoon and evenings to walk and care for other pets. I am also available for pet sitting on most weekends and after 2 pm the week days! I have dog friendly pups that come with me to keep other pups entertained while in your home. They can be kenneled as well if needed.
“Kara was so great! We could tell by the pictures she sent that Nyx and Fletcher were super happy she was there with them. We will 1000% have her first in mind next time we need some help with them!”
“Emily was amazing! We used her cat drop in service in our home. This was our second time using rover to watch our 10 year old cat. Emily did a wonderful job. She provided pictures & detailed updates of the visit and most importantly to us, lots of cat cuddles. I cannot recommend her enough! I look forward to having Emily in our home for any future cat sitting. Thank you so much Emily!”
About: I started my dog watching journey when I was about 16. I used to watch a friend's dogs whenever she was away. Even when she was at work when her older dog was ill. I have a kinship with dogs like no other. It's only in the last 5 years that I've developed that with cats as well. I have a flexible work schedule that can accommodate any needs you have. I will update my calendar as to my availability at least every 2 weeks. I can accommodate 1 or 2 dogs only on the weekends. But, in your home I will respect everything. I won't mess anything up and if I do I'll return it better than I left it.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 3-4 years. I have knowledge of cleaning, feeding, and walking dogs. Mostly my neighbors have asked me to pet sit, but I do have good experience. I’m currently working part-time at a nursing home, so I have plenty of time to pet sit. I’m going to college this fall and looking for some extra money. In your home I usually make sure that all the doors are locked so no one tries to break in, and I usually don’t let the animal I’m sitting out of my site.
About: I had a huskey when I was younger that I took care of everyday. I now have a 1 year old Aussie doodle. I am trained in emergency situations. My current job allows me plenty of time off to play and love your animals. I’m available almost everyday in someway. I have plenty of time and availability to walk and feed and play with your pet. I have an underground fence for my own dog. He is super friendly and loves to play. I live close to the dog park for plenty of fun and exercise. I have multiple crates to use as needed.
About: I have always had a dog in my life. Had a cat when I was younger. I cannot wait to meet and provide the best care for your furry friend!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Spencer stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
