About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and have experience with dogs of different sizes, ages, and personalities. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, both for daily routines and extended stays. I’m attentive to each dog’s individual needs, energy level, and comfort, whether that means long walks, playtime, or a calm, reassuring presence. I’m reliable, communicative, and always treat pets like they’re my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of time, attention, and care. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with especially good availability in the afternoons and evenings. I’m also available on weekends and can adjust my routine to fit your pet’s needs, whether that’s regular walks, feeding times, or extra play and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I follow care instructions closely and make sure pets feel calm, secure, and well-supervised at all times. Whether I’m caring for pets in your home or out on walks, I’m attentive to their behavior, routines, and surroundings. I’m respectful of your space, reliable, and happy to provide updates so you feel confident your pet is in good hands.

About: I have had animals my entire life, both dogs and cats. Growing up I was taught the responsibility of taking care of all of our pets. I understand the love and attention they deserve and sometimes that life gets hard and we need help. I currently have a 13 year-old cat named Henry who is my entire world. I would love to be able to help you and take care of your babies so you have the peace of mind, knowing that they are in good hands. I am currently available full time. I can come see your pets and walk them pretty much anytime that’s needed as long as it’s requested. I do have a small fenced in backyard and a huge green belt and park near my house. My cat only goes into the backyard supervised though.

About: Hi! My name is Ali and my husband, Corgi, Aussie and I just moved to Denver from Nashville, TN so I could fulfill my dream of being a flight attendant! When I’m not flying I am most certainly hanging out with my dogs! I have always cared for animals and had several pets in my home at all times. I have had cats, dogs, bunnies and bearded dragons! I would love to meet and care for your pets. I understand every pet is unique and they all require a certain level of care that I am willing to accommodate! Can’t wait to meet you and your pets! I am a flight attendant first, so my schedule depends on when I am flying! I get my schedule a month in advance, so I will have plenty of notice if I am able to accommodate your request for care. I know that every home is different and has a different set of rules! Your house, your pets, your call! I respect all pet owners unique requests and needs for their pets and will follow instructions throughly!

I am currently working full time, but I am available on the weekends. I can potentially be available the weekdays after 6pm if needed. :) I can easily make an animal feel comfortable and confident in any environment, I don’t offer at home pet care, so they will be safe!

“Coral was an amazing pet sitter for our anxious kitty. It can be difficult to find a sitter that our cat is comfortable with. During the meet and greet, our cat was already rubbing up against her legs and wanting to smell her! During drop-in visits, she made sure to take lots of pictures and send detailed notes, which I really appreciated. Coral also cleaned up the house a bit (took trash out, started dishwasher, etc.) before she left, which was such a thoughtful touch. We (and our kitty) would hire her again in a heartbeat. Thank you, Coral for your great work!”

About: We’re a family of four who loves caring for dogs. We have 2.5 acres, a fenced in yard, and give lots of TLC. Walks around the neighborhood and on trails too. My husband and I work from home and love going on walks. When the kids are home from school they dote on the animals a lot too. In the house, your dog is welcome to go where they please & feel most comfortable…which is often right by us. Feel free to bring their own dog bed or any blankets that remind them of home. We board no more than 2 dogs at once, and often it’s just one. The house is still a home. And your best buddy welcome anytime!

About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Friends and family have trusted me to feed, walk, play with, and keep their dogs company while they're away. I also have a Golden Retriever puppy of my own, so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I'll care for your dog as if they were my own by providing plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while following your pet's routine and any special instructions you provide. I work full-time during the weekdays (7:00 AM–3:30 PM), but I'm available for pet care in the evenings, on weekends, and on many holidays. I make time every day to care for animals and will ensure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I'll always communicate with you throughout the visit so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions so they feel as comfortable as possible. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or taking them on walks, I'll treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I believe in keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so you always know your furry friend is happy and well cared for.

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with 7+ years of hands-on experience caring for my own lab, Roxy, through every stage of life, from adulthood through her senior years. I also have experience supporting dogs with mobility challenges, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’ve dog-sat a variety of breeds and personalities, from energetic dogs like Australian Shepherds and Corgis to laid-back companions like Pugs and French Bulldogs. I understand that every dog has different exercise, enrichment, and comfort needs, and I tailor care accordingly. Your dog will stay in our spacious single family home with access to a semi-fenced backyard and plenty of room to relax. I work from home, so I’m able to provide frequent potty breaks, walks, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and monitoring senior or medically complex dogs. Having cared for Roxy through cancer treatment, including oral chemotherapy, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, and energy levels. I intentionally host only one client’s dog(s) at a time so they receive plenty of individual attention and care. Your pup will have the company of two dog-loving adults in the home, no other animals and no children. Whether your dog is an energetic adventure buddy, a couch cuddler, or needs a little extra support in their senior years, I’ll do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Looking forward to meeting your pup! 🐾 I work from home full-time, which allows me to provide regular supervision, potty breaks, walks, and companionship throughout the day. Because I only host one client’s dog(s) at a time, your pup receives plenty of attention and care rather than being one of many dogs in a busy boarding environment. My schedule is flexible, making it easy to accommodate your dog’s normal routine. Your dog will stay in our spacious 2,400 sq ft home with access to a semi-fenced backyard, many nearby walking trails/dog parks, and plenty of indoor space to relax. There are two dog-loving adults in the home and no children. I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs, including senior dogs, amputees, and dogs undergoing cancer treatment and chemotherapy. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, monitoring behavior and appetite, and adapting care to your dog’s individual needs. For safety and personalized attention, I only accept one client booking at a time.

About: Hi there! 🐾 I'm a longtime animal lover with over 18 years of experience providing pet, home, and child care. I recently relocated here from Washington state and I'm excited to reactivate my Rover profile and get back to something I've always genuinely loved doing! I've cared for animals of all shapes, sizes, ages, and personalities — from puppies and senior dogs to cats, chickens, fish, reptiles, rodents, and more. I also grew up in 4-H, so being around and caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm especially comfortable with pets who need a little extra care. I have experience administering medications and caring for senior pets, animals with disabilities, and pets with various health or mobility needs. I know how much trust it takes to leave your babies in someone else's hands, especially when they have special routines or needs, and my goal is for you to be able to travel or work with genuine peace of mind. I have a sweet 12-year-old dachshund of my own who is great with other dogs and comfortable in new spaces. I'm happy to care for your pets in my home or yours, depending on what makes them most comfortable! I work full time operating a business, but my schedule is flexible and I spend a good amount of time working from home, which gives me lots of flexibility for pet care, companionship, and check-ins. After some time away away from pet sitting, I'm excited to start building relationships with local pets and their people again. I'd love to meet you and your crew and see if we're a good fit! ❤️ I operate a coffee shop chain nearby and have very flexible hours. Tuesdays I have in person meetings from 11-3 but beyond that I design and pace my week as needs come up but am rarely tied to a schedule. A lot of this requires meetings or admin work from home. With my experience in 4H and all of the pets I have had and worked with, I am used to shifting my priorities as different animals require different attention in different areas and am confident in my ability to identify and give attention to whatever is needed.

About: Hi Im Felicia & I understand that pets are people, and more importantly they are family!! They are welcomed & aloud on my bed and couch or wherever they feel comfortable & wanna hang out, but I also love exploring parks, rivers, small wilderness hikes, and plenty of outdoor fun to sniff out!!!! I really love being outdoors and cuddling too!! I love all animals. I am a Dog Mom of a Husky & Blue Heeler mix she is 3. I grew up on a farm and have had my own pets all my life, so I have life long experience with all types of animals. I feel very comfortable administering medications for those who need it too. I love to take walks to the nearby dog parks and parks frequently with my own Pup and have experience walking more than one pup at a time. My Pup is my Baby and my best friend, so I know how important it is to keep all these babies safe, fed, watered, entertained, cuddled, and loved while you are away. I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. I work 10 hrs shift 3 days a week I'm currently working part time so I have lots of free days out of the week for free time to spend with your babies. I'm off on Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Thursday. I have a 3 year old spayed and trained female who has had all her shots. She gets along with all other Dogs and cats as well she loves friends she is a sweetheart and loves to play. She has lots of toys to share. When I am sitting I am not working at all so I can give 100 percent attention to pets. That means okay time, walk time, dog park time!

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.
