“Chloe had a blast with Emily! She gave me great updates the whole weekend. It was our first time leaving her at home while we are away and it was perfect! We will be using her again!”
About: Experience starts young, I used to pet sit dogs in my neighborhood at 12. About three years ago I got my own dog who is a rescue whom I have been able to re-train at behaving alone at home and teach new tricks. My dog is 11 so I have great experience with both young and old. I’m currently working part time at a winery so my hours are flexible and I will be able to easily work around my schedule to fit yours. I have a big sidewalk to walk along at my apartment complex for long walks as well as a dog park. I also have plenty of at home care for all the dogs needs such as if there were accidents cleaning supplies to treat those accidents.
“Syd got here on time each day, and took good care of the pups. We always got photos (extreme closeups sometimes!) and had the peace of mind that they were in good hands while we were gone.”
About: Hello! My names Lydia and I’m a college student who would love to walk or watch your dog! In addition to working at a doggy day care, I also have trained and raised my current dog since 14 years old. Feel free to message me at any time with questions or concerns!

About: With a lifetime of experience caring for dogs, cats, and various small animals, I'm well-prepared to look after your beloved pet. As a current owner of two dogs(cockapoo and pitbull), five cats, and two guinea pigs, I'm comfortable with senior pets, administering medications (even to picky eaters!), and doing whatever it takes to ensure your peace of mind while you're away.

I am great with late nights as my shifts end at 3AM I am respectful entering my clients home and willing to follow any instructions provided to me. If I am ever unsure about anything I will contact my client to ensure I’m giving their pets proper care.
About: I have taken care of animals off and on for 20 years. I grew up around dogs and would help my parents take care of ours since I was three. I can feed, walk, water, brush, and I am experienced in clipping and grinding dogs nails. I have also watched many cats. I am able to clean litter boxes if needed. I am currently working full-time but am able to check on any animals during the week after 5 pm and before 7 am depending on how far away you are. I am also available to spend as much time as needed on the weekends. I am able to walk, check-up on, and feed your fur baby. I can also play with them. If needed I could take them to a dog park to burn off some energy. I am also equipped to take them to the vet if needed.
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and extensive hands-on experience caring for dogs. I attended veterinary technician school and worked at an animal hospital, where I gained valuable knowledge about animal health, behavior, and safety. I've had dogs my entire life and currently care for four of my own, giving me daily experience with dogs of different personalities, sizes, and needs. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have provided dog walking and pet sitting services for neighbors, family members, and friends over the years. I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy caring for your pets, and I treat every dog as if they were my own.

My schedule as a part-time server gives me flexibility, allowing me to dedicate time to dog walking, pet sitting, and providing personalized care for pets throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so incorporating pet care into my routine comes naturally. When caring for pets, my priority is always their safety, comfort, and well-being. During walks, I make sure dogs get the exercise, mental stimulation, and attention they need while following any instructions provided by their owner. I pay close attention to each dog's pace, personality, and comfort level to ensure they have an enjoyable experience. I am experienced handling dogs of different sizes and temperaments and understand the importance of proper leash safety, hydration, and avoiding potentially unsafe situations. After each walk, I can provide updates on how your dog did and make sure they are settled comfortably before I leave. My goal is to give pet owners peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for with patience, reliability, and genuine love for 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 .
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.
