“Sara was the absolute best to work with. She came by the day prior for a meet & greet, very punctual, sent lots of pictures & reassured me that she would love him like we do. This was our first time using Rover & we went with Sara based on her reviews and we are so very thankful we did! Will definitely recommend and will be a returning client. She is an absolute dream to leave in our home with our “second child”.”
“I felt very comfortable leaving Kevin with Peyton, and received thorough updates with pictures the whole time. Kevin takes a while to warm up to new people and Peyton took the time to make him feel at ease. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Rebecca came right on time for each visit. She took great care of our two girls and we didn't worry about them for a second! The pictures she sent us were greatly appreciated.”

“This was the first time we had McKenzie care for our senior dog, and we couldn't have been more pleased! Everything went extremely well while we were away. Would highly recommend and would definitely use her again! Thank you McKenzie!!”
About: I have lots of experience with pet and house sitting. Small and large dogs, and cats of all ages. I've taken care of geriatric animals with special dietary and medication requirements, including injections. I respect all animals and take special care to take care of animals the way you want them to be cared for. I graduated in May with my PhD from Virginia Tech, and moved back home to Johnson City. I am currently looking for a full-time position, so I have very open availability. I have experience working with animals of all types, respecting the routines and schedules that animals are used to. I follow any rules or specific requests and endeavor to be respectful of the home.
“She was INCREDIBLE!!! So many pictures, very communicative, helped me when I was in need of a last minute drop in. My dog looked like she had a great time. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I am a lifelong dog lover who has always shared my home with furry family members. Because dogs have been a constant part of my life, I truly understand their unique personalities and daily needs. I am deeply passionate about keeping dogs safe, happy & comfortable while their owners are away. I have many family members and friends who have relied on me to care for their furry family. I consider my dogs my own children and would treat any animal with the same regard! Pet care is my job!

I'm passionate about keeping pets comfortable during their stay, so I adapt to their environment and respect their space.
“Zada did amazing with our puppy dog. She was very prompt with responses, had great communication through the app, and took tons of pictures of our dog while we were away. Would definitely recommend her when it comes to looking after your pet!”
About: I have been doing check ins with family friends for years for a range of animals. I have a 1.5 year old cocker spaniel that I also take care for and love dearly so I know the value pets have and cherish each one I baby sit. I’m currently a full time student that will drop in before and after class. I am happy to play with your cat or dog as long as they need with my time with them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and can clean up any messes they may create. Keeping their comfort with a new person is my top priority so I’m happy to play outside with them or cozy up on the couch or whatever they may need that day.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life! I’ve done everything from fostering to raising litters of puppies and kittens. I’m an active person so there is no shortage of playtime. I’m very dedicated to providing the love and support pets need! Caring for pets is always a priority of mine as I currently own a dog and cat myself. I work part time so my schedule is very flexible. I have a spare bedroom in my house with a large mattress for pets to rest on. There is space for a crate if needed. My backyard is very spacious. My area is fairly quiet as I live outside the city. I also have a very friendly dog and cat so your pets can have new friends (can be separated if needed).
“I was nervous because we’ve never had someone from rover watch our good boys, but Kayla was so amazing. She gave us detailed notes daily, so many photos, and all around just calmed me down about leaving them by how much she was detailing. I could tell she was really playing with them and learning their personalities just based on the notes she was leaving, and I’m so grateful!”
About: I am going to school to school currently to become a veterinarian and I hopefully will get a job as a vet tech very soon! I have 3 dogs and a cat of my own and I take care of them everyday while the rest of my family is at work. I love to take my dogs on walks for about 30 minutes at least twice a day. I have a fenced in backyard and my dogs are very friendly and playful and love new friends! We have multiple crates if that is something necessary for your pet. My whole family has huge hearts when it comes to animals so your pet will be well taken care of!
About: I’ve raised one dog since he was a puppy. He is now almost 13, and another who’s now 6. I truly understand every stage of a dog’s life, from playful puppy energy to senior care and comfort. Over the years, I’ve also done off and on petsitting for neighbors, caring for a variety of breeds and temperaments. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they always feel safe, loved, and at ease while you’re away. My schedule varies weekly, so my availability may change. That said, I communicate promptly, confirm visits ahead of time, and make sure all pets are able to receive consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and stick to all instructions closely, from feeding times to preferred walking routes. I always provide photo updates and check ins so owners know their pets are happy and in good hands.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Spurgeon
Peyton was amazing! She is a great communicator, trustworthy, and did excellent with our labradoodle. Bella can be shy and skittish, but she warmed up to Peyton quickly and did great. We needed someone very last minute and Peyton was there that night and the following two days while we were away. We can’t wait to use her again 🙂

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.
