About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, from newborn puppies to senior dogs. I have experience training puppies in basic commands like sit, stay, come, and leash manners. I provide a calm, structured environment and pay close attention to each dog’s needs, whether that’s playtime, routine, or extra patience. My goal is to make them feel comfortable and at home while you’re away. I’m a stay-at-home mom, so I’m home most of the day and able to give dogs consistent attention and care. Occasionally I may step out briefly, but dogs are never left alone for long and can be safely crated if needed. I live on a quiet property with a large yard and a long private driveway, giving dogs plenty of space to walk and explore safely. While my yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is supervised and/or on leash for safety. I also have the ability to crate if needed and always prioritize a safe, controlled environment for every dog.

“We can't say enough about how much we enjoyed having Bri care for our dogs. The pups took to her immediately and she kept us updated with pictures after every visit. We highly recommend Bri and will be using her again in the near future!”

About: I have had pets my entire life! From dogs to cats, fish, and reptiles I have taken care of them all! I also work at a Vet Clinic in their boarding facility. Through this experience I am qualified to give medication to pets! I am responsible in taking care of my pets everyday! When I am not home with my personal pets, I work a vet clinic as a kennel technician. I am involved in animal care by feeding, walking and cleaning up after them. When I pet sit for a friend, I try to go by the house at least 3 times a day. If it is a dog, I walk them every-time I come by. I will check their food bowls and water bowls to ensure that they have all that they need. I will also provide playtimes with their pets whenever I am around.

About: I have worked with cats and dogs for more than half of my 21 years of life, and I will say living without them might be the worst thing I've ever had to endure. I have great experience working with cats and dogs. Mostly with my very own! I have two cats and two dogs, Bella Beauty is the oldest at 14 human years old, definitely the sassyest of the bunch!! She is very versed in tricks and polite despite her sass! Basil Bay is my second dog and is only a year old, she is thirty five pounds and a big bundle of energy!! She's our sweet girl and loves to play and cuddle up on the couch, she also absolutely adores food!! Twilight Sparkle is my childhood Cat and is quite spoiled with food at her disposal, making her a chunk of pure love! she loves to be pet all over,, even on her tummy! She is also versed in a few tricks like shake, sit, and up! Sunrise Rae, (Kiki) is my other kitty who is very much the independent one of the bunch, she is 12 years old and very shy compared to Twilight, she loves to go outside and climb trees, chase Basil around,(and vis versa) play with cat toys, and sunbathe in the afternoons. I have experience walking, some grooming, feeding , playing With, and cuddling dogs and cat. I have a cleaning job I do two to three days a week, and I was looking to fill the gaps in between with caring for pets! In my home we have an invisible fence for our dogs and an automatic doggy door so the dogs can go outside anytime they need! Kiki also likes to use the door for herself! In my location, I have a small, wooden fenced in area of the yard, but the bigger area is not physically fenced in, so I would take your pet out on a leash to use the potty outside!

“Michael was really the best. They took extra time before the scheduled visits to meet with me so we could discuss some pretty specific pet needs & asks that I had. He Made me and my wife feel very confident and comfortable about leaving the pets in his care for as long as we did. I appreciate Michael for constantly communicating with me updates after every visit along with any questions or concerns they had. Overall Michael took their time with care and treated everything with kindness and compassion going above and beyond when they could. Appreciate the great job!!”

About: I've had animals most of my life from puppies to pound mutts and full blooded and senior dogs. I make sure to encourage play and positive training.

I make sure to follow any rules stated by the original owner. It can range from crate training, socialization, cleaning, walking or using the client's home.

About: My love for pets started as a child. I have had several dogs in my life. A few I’ve chosen, and many I have taken in and rehomed. I was known in my hometown as the person to call if an animal needed a quick placement .. or a total new situation. I currently have a 110 lb, (gentle giant) rescue ,named Olaf, that I’ve had for 4.5 ears, two cats that fell into my lap within the last year, a bunny and a few fish. Olaf is getting older and doesn’t prefer much exercise anymore. Id love to walk your dog, pop in quick or care for your animals for an extended period of time. I currently work part-time for myself and have plenty of spare time to dedicate to the care of and needed company to your animals. Spoiling animals , within reason 😊, is what I love! My biggest concern is the safety of your pet first and foremost. I also highly focus on making sure their needs are being met while in my care. Every animal requires a different level of need. Bonding and providing comfort to your animal when you are away from them is just as important as their basic needs. I have yet to meet a dog that doesn’t love me completely!

Animals have always played a huge part of who I am today. Your animal will be treated properly and showered with love. I thank you for your consideration and I cannot wait to meet all the fur babies!

With having experience from working at an animal clinic, dog daycare and boarding facility, and even an animal shelter, knowledge from college, and working at farms I have incredible animal husbandry skills. I know how to administer medicine, if needed. Also, know what signs to look for when an animal is sick. Having a dog myself, I will care and love your fur baby like it’s my own!

About: RN and ex-vet tech :) Excellent with dogs and cats, of all breeds, and competent to provide the necessary care for "special needs pets". Excellent trainer if any is needed or any advice. We will enjoy long walks on trails or around your neighborhood. My own animals are completely trained and get along with farm or other domestic animals. I am extremely active and like to keep pets that way too! My house is loaded with fun toys for both cats and dogs. I love to give baths and nail trims, for willing babies. I hope to spend time with your babies soon! Currently taking a break from full-time working and only work PRN as an ICU RN, so I have a lot of free time :) Prefer to take your babies on walks and help them get their exercise, but also happy to follow whatever routine you want! My own animals are very spoiled and loved. They get the maximum amount of cuddles and playtime I can give them, and I want to give that to your babies as well :)

About: Hi! My name is Taylor and I am a caring, responsible, and patient pet lover. I have experience caring for a variety of different animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, chickens, and fish. I enjoy spending my time with animals and would love to my spend my time caring for your animals! Please reach out if you have any more questions and I would be glad to answer them. :) I am currently working remotely full time so I would be able to give your animals lots of attention in the mornings and evenings but I will also be able to check on them throughout my work hours. I like to meet with pet parents before staying in their home to learn their routine and how they care for their animals. I like to make a list of all the things pet parents tell me so I can ensure that I provide the best care for their animals.

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 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 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.
