“Victoria was amazing and kept me informed and sent me pics of Garfield. I truly appreciated that as it was our first time being separated for that length of time. I’m sorry that it took him so long to warm up to her, but I knew he was in good hands. I will definitely request Victoria in the future!”
“She’s absolutely amazing. My dog is very caution of people and within 15 minutes he was by her side letting her pet his face. She gives plenty of photos and makes me feel so comfortable knowing my dogs are well taken care of!”
“We had Mickayla check in on our cat Gumbo several times while we were out of the country for two weeks. She was easy to work with in setting up both a meet and greet, and regular visits, flexible with our schedule, and happy to give him affection in addition to cleaning out his box and refilling his food and water. She did a great job taking care of Gumbo while we were out (and even kept a couple of tropical plants in our house alive)! We would definitely use her again to watch Gumbo.”
About: I have experience caring for different kinds of animals and truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to their needs, whether it’s feeding, walking, playing, giving medication when needed, or simply making sure they feel safe and comfortable. I understand how important pets are to their owners, so I always try to treat them with love, care, and attention as if they were my own. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I enjoy spending time with animals. I make time for feeding, walks, playtime, and giving pets the attention and care they need every day.

I also provide regular updates with photos and messages so pet parents can feel confident while they’re away. My home is clean, calm, and pet-friendly. I currently share my home with two well-cared-for indoor cats. I always prioritize safety, cleanliness, and a low-stress environment for animals. If I expand my services in the future, I will ensure every pet is cared for in a safe and comfortable space.

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and passionate animal caregiver with over 2 years of hands-on experience working at a dog daycare and boarding facility. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and needs, and I treat every pet like they’re my own — with patience, love, and individualized attention. My experience includes dog walking, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, enrichment activities, medication administration, overnight care, and caring for senior dogs and pets with special needs. I understand how important it is to stick to your pet’s routine and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m also a dog mom to my 7-year-old lab mix, so I know firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. My daily life revolves around making sure she’s happy, active, and well cared for, and I bring that same level of dedication to every animal I look after. I love building trust with animals and making sure each visit is tailored to their personality and needs — whether that means long walks, playtime, enrichment, cuddles, or calm companionship. My schedule is flexible, and my goal is always to give pet parents peace of mind knowing their pets are receiving compassionate, reliable care. Caring for animals is truly my passion, and I would love the opportunity to care for your pet! I have my own dog she is a 7 year old lab mix- I love waking up with her, feeding her, playing fetch and going for walks. My routine revolves around her. I love spending time with her and providing enrichment for her.. in my eyes she is my child and I would do anything for her. My schedule is open and flexible to add caring for your pet. Let me know what you are looking for and I will do my best to accommodate it. Always with lots of patience, gentleness, kindness, and compassion. I love bonding with animals and earning their trust. I have always been an animal lover and animals have always warmed up to me quickly. I love caring for pets with mental stimulation like toys, enrichments (snuffle mats, lick mats, etc.), Walks, Runs, Fetch, Toys, Cuddling, listening to music. We are our dogs world and I want them to feel fulfilled and happy all the time.
About: I am a friendly face more than happy to help with any paw services, spanning from walks to sittings and more. All ages animals welcomed! I have a very flexible schedule, as long as walks or sittings are requested in advance. As long as parents communicate needs, I can accommodate them. I will follow all directions given from parents, and make sure the animal’s needs are met. Typically would prefer sitting at the animal’s house, I feel it makes them more comfortable.
About: I currently take care of my family’s 2 dogs. We have had dogs in the house since I was born and was raised to care for them, the most we’ve had has been 4 at once. I believe that it is the people’s responsibility to give their pets the best life possible and I care for my dogs under that belief! I am a college athlete, therefore pet care is a luxury to step away from the action towards. My summer schedule is fully clear except for occasional 2-4 hour training sessions. I believe that pets depend on their caretakers for a complete, safe, and nourishing environment to be the happiest therefore I strive to give my pets and others the best lifestyle possible!

About: I'm an animal lover! My first pet was at 5 years old; a Jack Russell Terrier who had boundless energy. Someone had to keep up with my 3 older brothers and I! I jump at the chance to pet sit for family, friends, neighbors, coworkers, and Rover clients! We love going for long walks, practicing tricks, being cozy, and sometimes treat them to a little spa time in the bath. I've watched approximately 30 dogs over the past 15 years. I love animals and grew up working on goat and horse farms, with puppies & dogs running around everywhere. I work from home, and am extremely flexible and reliable. I find keeping dogs on a regular schedule is helpful, and make sure I'm there whenever they need me! Walks, walks, and more walks! I’m very attentive and available to ensure you can have peace of mind knowing your loved one is in great hands.

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.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
