About: Throughout my life, my family has owned 4 dogs, and many of my friends own dogs that I spend a lot of time with. I currently have two dogs, as well as a few bonus neighborhood dogs, that I love both playing and relaxing with. I often am responsible for feeding, letting out, and cleaning up after my family dogs. I am a recent college graduate with no set job or schedule yet, so I'm very flexible! Presently, most of my work is gig work, so it is very easy for me to run by your house on my way to or from those gigs. I aim to give your pet as much of a sense of normalcy as I can! Whether they like to wrestle outside or sit together in silence, I want to give them whatever they need in the moment. I like to leave a space how I found it, so if they need any feeding or make any messes, I will clean up being myself or them.
“Renee was so good with my cat. She went above and beyond in every area. She updated us regularly and made sure that our cat was well-cared for and happy. Renee is a terrific person and will be my go-to sitter when I need someone to take care of our pet in the future. I highly suggest that you consider contacting her if you are in need of pet-sitting services. Garfield will see you again soon, Renee!!!!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 6, some including dogs, cats, bunnies, birds, etc. I absolutely love animals and love meeting new friends! I currently work part-time, although I am still in school so my times are limited unfortunately. That being said, I would absolutely love to spend my free time meeting new furry friends and making sure they don’t go bored, and have plenty of fun! I have two cats, both very friendly and dog lovers! I also have a dog, she is super sweet and high energy and loves making new friends.
“Paige was great! She did an excellent job keep us updated on our dog Sophie and I could tell from the pics Paige sent that Sophie was perfectly happy. I would recommend Paige to anyone”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets with care. I’m a football player at UCA, so my schedule stays structured and consistent. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting around practices and weekends. I care for pets in their own homes, making sure they feel safe and comfortable in their familiar space. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully and treat every home with respect.
About: I treat every pet like family – taking the time to learn their routines and preferences. I am reliable and happy to update with photos and messages, and follow instructions to a T. I have experience with other animals and I am patient with all animals. I don’t mind going the extra mile to help. I am currently on summer break. I love animals and need an extra hobby right now. I am happy to accommodate the day and time that would work for you and your pet. I am easy to work with and happy to do what you need done. I look forward to being able to help with your babies!
“10/10 recommend Lisa for any pet watching needs. She was beyond amazing with our 4 while we were gone. Kept them plenty fed and loved on them in our absence, plus kept us updated daily. I’m already looking at the calendar and checking availability for our next mini trip.”
About: I am doing school online at the moment and work for the state. I am in a family of four I have my mom, dad, and my special needs brother I help out a lot with. I have five dogs that I call my fur babies, and one cat that I might as well call a dog. I call her a dog just because she eats dog food lol. I have dog sat for many people and they recommend me to many others. I am applying to be a dog sitter on the side to make some extra cash too be able to help pay for my college classes. Any given chance that I can work with dogs and be able to take my energy out on them with playing im all for it! They can leave me a letter of what they would want me to do specifically. I have taken care of dogs by the notes that they have left me for quite sometime now.
“She has been the best thing my fiancé could’ve asked for when it comes to making sure our babies are taken care of. Whether it was the dog, cat, or sometimes both, she showed them the same love and care we show them. I wish there was more I could do to show my appreciation for everything she’s done. Booking rovers for sitting, walking, or just drop in visits is not cheap, but knowing our babies were in safe hands while we were gone is priceless. Thank you Charsy!!”
About: I have strong experience caring for animals through both professional and personal roles. I previously worked as a kennel technician, where I was responsible for feeding, cleaning, monitoring health, and ensuring the comfort and safety of multiple animals each day. This role taught me how to handle pets of different sizes, temperaments, and needs with patience and confidence. In addition to my kennel experience, I have also provided pet-sitting services for people’s animals. Through dog sitting and general pet care, I’ve gained hands-on experience with daily routines such as walking, feeding, administering basic care, and giving pets the attention and companionship they need while their owners are away. These experiences have helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, responsibility, and dependable care, making me confident in my ability to look after pets in a safe, attentive, and compassionate way. 💋🐶 I help care for the pet mini pigs we have and i have watched over dogs and i have a pet gecko i love. ❤️ I help take care of the animal as instructed off a list so i know to care for them correctly and bond with the baby.
“LOOK NO FURTHER if you want the VERY BEST to love and care for your pets - especially CATS!! Miranda is amazing!! She made my husband & I feel extremely confident & comfortable the minute we met. She listened to my concerns with some of their health issues & was at ease administering medicine. She arrived as scheduled, spent quality time with each of my (3) cats, & shared multiple pics of happy, relaxed kitties at each visit. Miranda’s demeanor and care for my cats truly put me at ease while I was away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for 15 years! I truly believe that dogs weren’t sent on this earth to be our little angels. I would give your little furry friend all the loves he or she could handle while you’re gone away at work or even vacation! ❤️ I’m currently part time at my job and I was looking to make some extra money while I’m not in school. What better way to do that than to spend it with your fur babies!? I’m pretty flexible. Just send me a message and we will work something out! ☺️ I can not bring any dogs over to my house, unfortunately because I have five dogs. Not sure how they would feel about me bringing over your furry friend. I would be more than happy to come over to your house and let them out, play with them, cuddle them, make sure they were fed and had water. When it was time for me to go, I will provide kisses and hugs to your lil pup. Free of charge! 😊
“Linda was just absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond in every instance. She spent time with Niah and brought her bandana’s and played ball with her. We felt so at ease having her taking care of our little fur babies!! Thank you Linda!!!”
About: Hello! My name is Katherine, but you can call me Alex (less formal and easier to remember) I've been around many kinds of pets all my life! Dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and even some fish and I have always treated them with the highest amount of care and respect! So no matter what, you can trust that I will love, care for, and respect your pets as much as you do I don't have a job currently, so I'm pretty free up all the time. I can't do boarding or care at my residence, but I can do whatever care you need at your home. I can do whatever is needed, feeding, watering, walking, brushing, nail trims, baths, sneaking in the cheeky pill for the stubborn dog or cat. Basically any care you need from me, I can do.
“Katie was patient and understanding as we worked through Rover's payment system SNAFUs. She communicated wonderfully and kept to all my requests in taking care of my three cats during their drop-in visits. Would most definitely recommend! :)”

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.
