“Crystal was amazing with my two dogs. She showed them all the love they needed while I was away! I 100% recommend for anyone’s needs while your away for your furry friends.”
“Hannah provided fantastic care for my two girls. Lila required medication to be administered twice a day for a week & so finding out Hannah was experienced was a sigh of relief! She was kind, timely, cleanly, and attentive to my fur babes. 6 out of 5 stars! THANK YOU, HANNAH!”


About: Hello, my name is Amaya! My number one priority with your furry friend is keeping them safe and stress free. Some activities could include mental enrichment and stimulation. There are a few games I play with my dog that I know your pet would love too! All in all, I would like to make the experience fun for me and your friend I have experience at doggy day cares and worked with puppies ranging from teacup to Great Danes. I also have experience grooming and bathing dogs and cats. I believe every pet has their own intrinsic personalities and their own quirks and I would love to get to know your baby. If you have any questions feel free to ask! Thank you! I currently work full time in a warehouse. I work four 10 hour shifts so I get three days off during the week and then I work weekends. I have five years of experience in doggy day cares and grooming for cats as well. I have extensive knowledge in enrichment activities for cats and dogs. I believe that the key to a happy pet is mental enrichment and stimulation. I do potty breaks every 2-3 hours depending on age.
“Linda the pet sitter did a fantastic job! She took the time to really get to know each of our three dogs—their unique personalities and quirks. It was clear they felt comfortable and well-cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”


About: I was raised around cats and dogs my entire childhood, and as an adult I now own 2 rabbits. My rabbits will always be closed away in a separate room with a locked door while boarding pets in my home. Although I don't currently own any cats or dogs, I have extensive experience with them and treat all animals as if they were my own. I accept exotic animals as well, just book them as cats and send me a message! I own a house in the Chalco area with a fenced in backyard and have boarded dogs many times here. I have an XL dog crate, leashes, and food and water bowls on hand. I currently work Mon-Fri 8-5pm. I am available weekdays after 5pm and anytime on weekends. I can do drop in visits on my 1pm lunch break or any time after 5pm. I treat your pets as I would treat my own. I am able to pick up dog waste, scoop cat litter, and provide medications as well as food and water.
“Morgan took great care of my Jefferson over the Thanksgiving holiday, going well above and beyond to take care of him and to make sure he was having a good time with me multiple states away. Morgan was very communicative throughout the entire process – before and during the booking – and sent great pics, which made me feel really comfortable my old boy was in great hands. Seeing how happy he was when I got home only affirms that. Absolutely would recommend Morgan to anyone!”

“This was my first time using Rover and Ashley made that experience fantastic! I’ve always been hesitant leaving my little buddy, so it can often limit my options for leaving town. Ashley offered a meet and greet before I even committed so that was nice. Highly recommend and I’ll definitely use her again.”


About: Hello! I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior cats. As a cat mom myself, I know that pets are family, and how important it is for your pet to be with someone they can trust while you’re away. I have extensive experience providing attention and active engagement with all types of pets. I would love to care for your pets and provide them with a welcoming, trusting face while you're away. I work full-time, but have options to work from home if needed, and can use lunch breaks as a potty break for your furry friend. I love spending time with pets, providing them with enrichment, and a loving, interactive environment. I care for pets by providing them with proper attention and watching their behaviors to determine cues. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, providing them with a welcoming environment with someone they, and you, can trust.
“We continue to utilize Crystal's services due to her excellence. Her communication is quick, and her schedule is flexible to adapt to our ad hoc needs as emergencies arise. We appreciate having someone reliable that ensures Champ is in good hands.”


About: Ive owned one or more dogs since I was a kid. Ive participated in a variety of dog training from classes at PetSmart to Nebraska Dog Training. Working from home, there will be limited times pets will be left unsupervised while in my care. I am Working from home full time which makes me available for frequent potty breaks. This also allows for several opportunities for social interaction throughout the day. I have 5 acres of land. Not fenced available, but outside time on a leash can be offered to ensure safety. I have two dogs to provide company. An 8 yr old female and 9 month male puppy.
About: My Fiancé and I have 3 dogs of our own. We have a 13 year old Terrior Mix, a 8 year old Yorkie and a 1 year old Lhasa Apso. We also have an 9 year old child here part time. I work from home so I am available at all times for boarding and can make almost anything work for drop in visits and walking. We have had our dogs for many years so we are well versed in caring for dogs of all wants and needs. We believe time spent with dogs is the most important.
About: I have two cats and a dog of my own, and I’ve cared for pets of all sizes and ages, from tiny kittens to big goofy pups. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddle duty, I make sure every pet feels loved and safe. Hi! I’m an animal lover with two cats and a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. My schedule is really flexible, which means I’m around during the day and in the evenings to give your pets plenty of attention, walks, and snuggles. Whether it’s a quick drop-in or extra playtime, I’ve got them covered. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I’m careful with leashes, doors, and routines to keep them secure, and I make sure they’re comfortable in a calm, loving environment. You’ll always get updates so you know your furry friend is happy and safe.
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is the level of attention, patience, and adaptability I bring to every pet I care for. I don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach—each animal has its own personality, needs, and routines, and I make it a priority to learn and follow those closely so they feel safe and comfortable. I have experience working with both young and senior pets, which means I’m comfortable handling very different energy levels and care requirements. For puppies and kittens, I focus on reinforcing positive habits like basic training, crate routines, and socialization, all while keeping things fun and consistent. I’m patient with accidents and understand that early stages require structure and encouragement. For senior pets, I provide a calmer, more attentive style of care. I’m mindful of mobility issues, medication schedules, and any special dietary or health needs. I also make sure they get gentle exercise and plenty of companionship without overexertion. Beyond that, I’m very detail-oriented and communicative. I keep owners updated with messages and photos, and I’m quick to notice any changes in behavior that might need attention. Whether it’s an energetic puppy or a slower-moving senior companion, my goal is always the same: to provide reliable, thoughtful care that makes both pets and owners feel at ease. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I build my schedule around consistency and reliability. I structure my days to make sure I have dedicated time blocks for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins, so pets are never rushed or treated as an afterthought. On a daily basis, I plan my mornings and evenings to align with typical feeding and exercise schedules, and I leave flexibility in the middle of the day for walks, drop-in visits, or extra attention if a pet needs it. I’m very mindful of maintaining the routines pets are already used to, since that helps them feel secure and comfortable. Throughout the week, I manage my availability ისე I don’t overbook, which allows me to give each pet the time and attention they deserve. Whether it’s regular visits or longer stays, I make sure I can be fully present and responsive to their needs. Overall, pet care isn’t something I squeeze in—it’s something I intentionally plan my routine around so I can provide consistent, dependable care. I tailor my care depending on whether pets are staying in my home or I’m caring for them in a client’s home, but in both cases my focus is on keeping their routine consistent, reducing stress, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals have space to relax as well as opportunities for play and exercise. I stick closely to their usual feeding schedule, potty breaks, and any training routines they’re used to. I supervise interactions carefully and make sure each pet gets individual attention, affection, and downtime. Cleanliness and safety are a priority, so I keep the space secure and free of hazards. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I aim to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, and preferred activities, and I respect the home environment by keeping things tidy and organized. Staying in their familiar space helps pets feel more at ease, especially those who are anxious or older. For both settings, I pay close attention to behavior, appetite, and energy levels so I can quickly notice if something seems off. I also provide regular updates with messages and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while they’re away. No matter the service, my goal is to provide dependable, attentive care that keeps pets happy, healthy, and comfortable.
About: I started my care for dogs when I was 14. I often sit for friends and family when they need me. I am an animal lover who just loves spending time with new animals. I love getting to know all of their sweet personalities. I am currently a student with no more than 2 classes a day so lots a free time to spend with your pets. I would be free to let out your pets multiple times a day and even spend the night if you would like. I am very accommodating when it comes to all types of animals. We can discuss what your animals need in your house and find some type of system.
About: I've grown up with always more than one animal in the household, and loving them is second nature. When my family and friends need someone to help take care of the pets, I am always the first option! I have taken care if lots of cats and dogs, but a few fish throughout the years too. I have experience not only with general pet care such as, feeding, walking, playing/enrichment, but also with giving medications. Some dog breeds I have worked with (or lived with) are German Shepards, Yellow Labs, and mutts that are a mix of medium/bigger dogs or small dachshund mixes. And a lot of different cat personalities! The distant and quiet ones who keep to themselves and the ones who need your attention the second you walk through your door! Either way, I have always loved them no matter what, and continue to love them still. I am about to start a part-time job that has me working either from 10-3 or 11-4. I am always willing to wake up early or stay up late because I have the late start time of the work! In my home, my cat never has a missed meal, he has clean and running water 24/7, and a handful of toys available for enrichment! A handheld laser always nearby for sudden play time is anecessity! As for my client's pets, I will always follow instructions step by step and detail by detail, no matter if feeding times includes something silly to get the fur baby to actually eat their food, I will always do it! And I am not the kind of person to just stop in, do what I need to do, and leave. I will make sure the pet is well loved and knows that I am there for them.
About: Owned dogs all my life with experience from puppy to end of life. I truly believe our pets are part of the family and should be treated as such I often work from home with a lot of flexibility. I am up early and stay up late so can be accommodating to many schedules I do not have a fenced yard, I leash walk animals regularly. Historically with my own dogs I have underground fencing. Safety and attention are my concerns for animals
About: I grew up with many pets around me and have come to enjoy the company of those companions. Although, I cant own my own pet baby at the moment, I am more excited to give that love to the ones I watch! I have an open schedule on days that aren’t Tuesdays and Thursdays but I am willing to work around those times and provide the best care needed for your pet. I don’t have any pets in my home at the moment but I will make sure to show extreme care towards your pets from the beginning to the end of service.

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.

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 .
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.
