About: I've been pet sitting/dog walking for friends and neighbors since high school. In addition I have worked at a doggy daycare, where I cared for dogs as little as chihuahuas to large German shepherds. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. My priority is aways to ensure they feel safe, happy and well cared for while their owner is away. I have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide reliable and consistent care whenever you need it. I'm available for walks and drop- in visits throughout the day, including morning, afternoons and evenings. Your pets safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always try to take the time to make sure your dogs feel safe and cared for at all times. I am attentive on walks and always prioritize safe handling practices.
“Zoey is fantastic & very experienced with taking care of dogs! Zoey came to our house for a drop in visit. She took our puppy out for potty, playtime, and gave him lots of love! Highly recommend using Zoey for all your pet care needs!”
“Maia is the absolute best! We’ve now used her three times to watch our dog. We are slightly anxious dog parents but she is so good with our pup, we don’t have to worry. You can tell how much she loves animals. Plus she sends regular updates.”
“Im so happy that I chose Andrea to take care of my cats! Just moved so we didn’t have a steady cat sitter and upon meeting her for the first time she immediately made me comfortable to be leaving the cats with her! Thanks!”
“Peter is a fantastic sitter for our cat Vader. This is our second time partnering with Peter while we were away. Peter gives great pictures, is quick to answer and is very accommodating. I can’t thank him enough!! 100% recommend Peter for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I’ve been a dog owner for years and have cared for pups at every stage of life—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who needed extra patience, gentleness, and consistency. I’ve raised one dog through his puppy years and lovingly supported two others through their golden years, so I’m comfortable with training basics, routines, mobility changes, medications, and slower-paced walks when needed. Over the years, friends have trusted me with their dogs while they travel, and now that I have more space in my home—and a large, fully fenced yard—I’m excited to do this regularly. My dog, Ochosi, and I love getting outside for long walks and hikes, and I’m happy to tailor activity levels to each dog’s age, energy, and needs—whether that means an adventurous trail day or a cozy afternoon of cuddles. As a bonus, my roommate is also a longtime dog lover and former dog owner, so your pup will get extra attention and affection beyond just me and Ochosi. Between our household, your dog will be surrounded by care, play, and consistency while you’re away. As an empowerment coach, I work mostly from home, which allows me to be present with the dogs I care for throughout the day. I do have occasional workshops, classes, and client visits that take me out of the house part-time, but I always plan my schedule carefully so pups get plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and companionship. Whether caring for your dog in my home or yours, I focus on keeping routines consistent, energy balanced, and tails wagging. I tailor walks, playtime, and downtime to each pup’s age and personality—from adventurous hikes to gentle strolls and cozy evenings. With a big fenced yard for safe outdoor play, plenty of affection from me, Ochosi, and my dog-loving roommate, and regular photo updates for you, your dog will feel secure, happy, and right at home.
About: I’ve been training service dogs for about 10 years. I work at a doggy day care. In addition I walk all the neighborhood dogs in addition to the service dogs! I am currently a college student working at UIUC this summer so my schedule is a bit hectic but I am free on weekends and weekdays after 5:30! I cannot have pets in my dorm but I am more than happy to take dogs on walks or play with them outside! I will also take your dogs out to use the bathroom or if they just need to run around and play outside for a bit!
“Kathryn was eager to meet my boys prior to our trip. This puts everyone at ease. It’s something I look for when choosing a new pet care provider. Kathryn followed all my instructions and was communicative all during our trip. My boys were happy and content when we got home.”
About: I’ve had 2 Labrador Retrievers since childhood and currently have my own cat so I understand their behavior, needs, and personalities. I’m attentive and patient, making sure each one feels safe and comfortable in a new environment. I keep their routine consistent, provide clean litter, fresh food and water, and give them the right balance of attention and space. I’m available most days, including weekends, and can accommodate same-day bookings. I’m home often, so your pet will get plenty of attention, regular walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. I provide a safe, clean, and calm home environment where pets feel comfortable and secure. I always follow the owner’s instructions, keep routines consistent, and give pets plenty of attention, supervision, and care. Your pet will be treated like part of the family.
“Camila was great with Tilly! She showed up on time and took awesome care of her. When I got home, Tilly was super calm and happy, so I know she was in good hands. I’ll definitely be using Camila again. Highly recommend!”
About: I’m a mom of two, and I have two Maltese of my own, so I know how much our pets mean to us. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy spending time with them, whether that’s going for walks, playing, or just giving them lots of attention and cuddles. I’ll care for your dog like they’re part of my own family, and I’ll make sure you get plenty of updates and photos so you can relax while you’re away. I work from home full-time and have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely run, play, and enjoy the outdoors. I love spending time outside with them, whether we’re playing in the yard or taking a relaxing stroll around the neighborhood. Because I work from home, I also offer flexible drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, or after my workday. Whether your pup needs a potty break, some exercise, playtime, or a little extra love while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I have a fully fenced yard where dogs can safely play, and I can crate your dog if needed. Since I work from home full-time, your dog will never be left alone for long and will receive lots of attention and care throughout the day. I also offer drop-in visits and dog walks before work, during my lunch break, and after work to fit your schedule.
“Lauren was wonderful with our 4 cats. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitter and will be asking her to drop in daily for us again. Our oldest cat required medicine in her food which Lauren was no stranger to, as she has done that with her own animals. The most timid of our cats came out for head scratches by the end of the 5 days - a sure sign that she is gentle and knows animals. She was also able to drop in around the same time each day, which was important for the cat that needed medication and was good for the animals. They are probably less anxious with a routine visiting time. 2 thumbs up!”
“Valerie is so kind and caring and it is so comforting leaving our puppies with her. It is so clear that she loves dogs and she goes above and beyond to take care of them. She texts updates and answers right away. We will absolutely be using Valerie again and again! Such a great person and great puppy sitter!”
“Janeth was awesome with our cat Petunia! From the very first communication, she was quick to respond and we scheduled a meet and greet. She was flexible as we finalized the dates of our trip and she sent pictures from every drop in visit. I can tell Petunia was well cared for and I won't hesitate to book with Janeth again the next time we go away. Thanks again!”
About: I’m back on Rover. I was taking a break due to personal reason. Dogs are like children for me. Pet's needs come first than anything else in my life. Dogs live in their families' hearts. For dogs, their family is their world. Dogs never want to be separated from their families even for a day or hours. When their family is away, dogs need more love, more attention, more petting to give them comfort. I never ignore pets. Their company makes me feel loved. Your dog will enjoy more than you when you go on vacation. I would be happy to serve your dog - food cooked by you with no extra charge. Your dog will get GMO free organic treats. You can also provide your dog's favorite treats. No crates - only if owner wants and brings. Your dog will never be alone, complete day and night care. Clean filtered water always next to them day and night. I change their drinking water multiple times. I work part time from hone So I am always available for my dog guest. I order my groceries online when I am watching my dog guest. Your dog will never be left alone in the house. I use gates inside the house if needed for their safety. I walk one dog at a time.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
