About: I have been helping take care of dogs and cats since I was 12. My neighbors growing up relied on me to walk, feed, play and care for their pets. I have done multiple month long stays at homes to care for multiple pets. I love going on walks and runs myself and adding a furry friend just makes it so much better. I also grew up with a dog and now have two kitties of my own that I rescued. I will care for your pets as if they were my own, because I know that is what I would want :) I am a waitress/bartender so my work schedule is mostly at night, so I am available to take care of your furry friends during the day! I will be sure to leave your place exactly how I found it! If wanted, I would love to take your dog to dog parks or state parks. I will play with your cats and know how to keep kitties engaged as if they were hunting in the wild!
“Katie was amazing with our 2 cats! They came out to greet her each time she stopped by and she was extremely attentive, respectful, and responsive. Katie was there when she said she would be and provided top-notch feedback/updates. It was our first time using a sitter that wasn’t a friend or family and we were so happy we went with her! Absolutely will be contacting Katie again for future needs!”
About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life and I've had my first (adult life) dog for three and a half year. Wila Rose is an Australian Cattle Dog mix. About a year and a half ago we added another rescue, Buckley Quinn. He is a smart but goofy boy. They both go backpacking with us and we do a lot of hiking on our local public land areas. We enjoy playing around in our yard with our limited dog agility set and learning new tricks. We occasionally go swimming but love jumping and exploring new water areas and hiking trails. Wila and Buckley are a huge part of my life. We enjoy hiking, being outdoor, and traveling as much as possible. We do quite a but of training included but not limited to: agility, scent training, shed training, and just some fun party tricks. I am new to Rover so please feel free to reach out with any questions. I have an acre of land (not fenced in). We love to go on walks and sniffaris at our local parks. Buckley loved to play with other dogs and Wila is more of a people dog. They even loves to go backpacking and hiking which often include 10+ miles a day.
“Meghan did a fabulous job taking care of my two cats! She was able to give my little female a daily med like a pro, and she spoiled both of them with attention and love!! Since I was out of town for about a week, it gave me such peace of mind to know both kitties were given such wonderful TLC!!??”
About: Animals are truly my passion. I hope to have a lot of them someday when I have the money, time and land. In the meantime I’m on rover to spend time with dogs, help people out, and be productive during my free time. I love an excuse to get up early during the week and go for a walk or just hang out with the fuzzy babies. I work part time as a hairstylist and I want to fill the rest of my time doing something that makes me happy! I love physical exercise, I love animals, so I know that I can help pet owners! (I also love animals snuggles) When I stay at your house with your dogs/cats I will be there when agreed upon and overnight if agreed upon. I need to be able to leave for at leave a couple of hours each day I am staying. I’m there for feeding, playing, potties, snuggles, treats, sleeping, and whatever else the furry ones need!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was young. We have 3 family dogs that I currently live with at home. My friends and my family all have dogs too and I love spending time with them and playing with them as well. I also work as a Caretaker at a Doggy Boarding/Daycare lodge and I enjoy my job very much! I adore dogs and hope to help you with yours! I currently work at a daycare dog lodge. I would ultimately have to work around that. I typically work mornings which are 6am-1:30pm. Other than that your dog has all my attention and will get all the love+ cuddles! I have a fenced in yard where all my 3 dogs play and hangout. They absolutely love it! All my dogs are very friendly. I don’t offer at home sitting just because one of my dogs is unpredictable! But i’m more than happy to come to yours and do all that you need me to do for your pup!

“Jeremy was an amazing cat sitter! Both my cats were immediately comfortable and really grew to like Jeremy’s daily visits and play time. Super responsive and always sending lots of pics for me to check in on- it’s was such a relief to have them in Jeremy’s care. Highly recommend!!!”
“This was our first time using Rover for our 2 frenchies and Melanie was so awesome!! She asked clarifying questions when she wasn’t sure about something, sent the cutest pictures and provided detailed updates after every visit. Normally I feel guilty leaving the dogs home when we travel but they looked very happy and with her updates I knew they were being well taken care of. We will definitely be using rover and Melanie’s help again in the future!❤️”
About: I've cared for puppies and senior dogs alike. I've been taking care of dogs my entire life and I am familiar with all breeds. From Daschund to German Shepherd I have been with them all. I currently even own a very well trained Dachshund and shes almost 2 I'm available most everyday rain or shine. I am very attentive and capable of taking care of most any dog. I always take the necessary time to care for a dog as they need it and when they need it I don't offer this service, but I am willing to take care of your pets in your home at any time that you may need it.
About: I’ve grown up caring for cats and dogs and have always enjoyed spending time with animals. I have an active dog of my own who loves going on long walks, so I’m very comfortable keeping energetic dogs active and entertained. As a high-level athlete, I’m active myself and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, whether that’s walking, playing, or simply spending time with a pet. I’ve also helped neighbors care for their animals while they were away. Right now I’m training in Milwaukee and have practice at 3:30 so I can take care of your pet during the day but also after practice if needed. Would be preferred if I did at the clients house but I live in a apartment right now they have a dog park and sorts.
About: Hi! My name is Lensy, and I’m excited about the opportunity to care for your pet. A little about me: I am in grad school (online) and work a hybrid job which gives me flexibility/ allows me to be remote a good amount so your furry friend isn’t alone day! I have plenty of experience looking after neighbors’ pets, from playful puppies to full-grown dogs. I also have experience with birds and cats. I can’t wait to take your furry friend out for walks, keep them entertained, and meet their unique needs.

I am available to do in-person visits and check-ins throughout the day, though I’m unable to provide lodging. My weekends are currently free, so I’m happy to arrange care for your pets during that time as well. Please feel free to reach out to discuss how I can best accommodate your needs! When caring for pets in my home or in my client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and stimulating environment tailored to each pet's needs. In my client's home, I want to be sure to know their routines. I focus on providing a stress-free experience, ensuring your pet feels comfortable and cared for in familiar surroundings. At home, I have a pet of my own, a mini golden doodle named Coco, who has taught me a lot about pet care and the importance of personalized attention. I ensure a calm, pet-friendly space where all animals can relax and feel at ease. I also maintain consistency in feeding times, play sessions, and any special care routines. I always ensure their safety and well-being is my top priority, no matter the setting.
About: Growing up I had a dog and cat so already have experience plus I have dog sat for numerous of my parents friends and have always gotten good feedback from them. I am currently taking a semester off from college to work and save money I work at a daycare part time and am looking for extra ways to make money! I cannot do it at my home due to staying with family but being at your home the pets already know the environment and won’t need to learn anything and will be comfortable in a place they know.

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.
