“Savannah was absolutely amazing! She has such a passion for dogs and took really good care of my dog during the time of her watching him. I would book her over and over again.”
“Kept my pup fed, exercised, and happy all week! And my dog is kind of a pain lol so was very impressed that Emily was able to pop in all week long to keep our big man happy without trouble. Definitely recommend -- we plan to use her again in the future ourselves”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have cared for everything from playful puppies to pets with medical needs. I also spent three years caring for a senior dog, giving me experience with medication routines, mobility support, and gentle, attentive care. Growing up with both cats and dogs taught me patience, confidence, and how to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. As a part‑time fifth‑year architecture student, I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to reliably incorporate pet care into my days. I balance studio work with plenty of time at home, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship. Pet sitting has been part of my life since I was 15, so building it into my routine feels natural, it’s a job I genuinely enjoy and make space for every week. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, from feeding and walks to medication schedules and preferred play styles. I keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and make sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. Because I’ve cared for pets with medical needs, puppies, and seniors, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of support each pet requires.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have grown up around animals and rescuing animals. I absolutely love any fur baby and am always the one asking to pet your dog or cat or play with them. I have senior experience with dogs and am able to administer medication. A lot of my pets have had complex medical problems, so i am used to helping any baby out with whatever he/she needs. My pets are my safe space and mean the absolute world to me, so when I take care of any other pet I love them like my own. I currently work part time at a job that is flexible. So I would have time to hang with your furry friends and give them tons of love and care. I will care for pets in my clients home by always abiding by the pets safety, happiness, and comfort. I always want to make sure the pet is safe and happy in all that I do.
“Kailyn was such a professional! We used her services while traveling to Auburn, AL. She took such good care of our guy and gave updates throughout. It was so nice to know that our little doggo was looked after while at the Iron Bowl and post game major traffic! A+”
About: I’ve taken care of my dogs for 10 years! They are two beautiful golden doodles. I also help out a ton with family members pets and friends pets. I babysit for kids every single week for the past three years so I am constantly being responsible. Since I'm a college student with a super flexible schedule this year, I am pretty much free all day! I have tons of free time between classes and on weekends, so I can easily adjust to the routine your pet already has. Whether your dog needs a mid day walk, a morning check in, or full weekend boarding, I'm around and love having the company while I do my homework! Your pet’s safety is my number one priority. I'm very responsible and keep my eyes on them at all times, especially when we go outside. I will carefully follow all of your rules for feeding times, portion sizes, and routines so they stay happy and healthy. I promise to treat your dog like they're my absolute own!!
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals all my life; cattle, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and many more. I have experience in small dogs and large, specifically dachshunds and Siberian huskies/Malamutes, as I’ve grown up with those breeds since I was a toddler! My home is very assessable to those prone to IVDD as I currently have my Mini-Dachshund living with me. I know how to administer limited medications, pills and solution/liquid medications. I am also able to provide nail trimmings for dogs only, no additional charge; I can provide my own clean dremel/nail clippers. I’m also a very patient person, so new pets won’t be a problem. I have experience with dogs who experience anxiety/are skittish. And I am experienced with elderly pets! I’m currently working part-time as a pharmacy technician (1-3 days a week) and I am in school full-time. I am able to make time after and between classes to fit all the love and attention into the needs of pets. I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex, I’m happy to carry the smaller pets up stairs if they have trouble with stairs! I don’t necessarily have a fenced in yard, but we do have a fenced in area specifically for dogs, most people in the complex don’t use! I enjoy taking the dogs on walks either around campus or shorter walks around the complex/home, I’m very active if your pet needs mental stimulation I am perfect for that; if your pet is more of a calm and lazy animal I can also provide for them as well! I’ve been know to be a very organized person, so if your pet is on a specific schedule I can usually adapt to that schedule very quickly and efficiently whether that’s feeding, walking or medications.
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs as well as my neighbors and friend’s pets since I was in elementary school. As a pre-vet student I have a strong passion for animals, and provide the best care I can! I’m currently a student at Auburn, but over the month of may I have zero plans so I can check up on pets whenever needed! I enjoy and early wake up and am happy bringing dogs on walks anytime! I always ensure I spend ample time with the pets I take care of, especially if they are social. This means playing with dogs outside so that they are worn out and tired for the rest of their home stay, and for cats playing as the cat allows!
About: I know every pet is different! I trained my own dog from puppyhood and treat every dog I care for with the same patience, love, and attention! I work from home, so I'm able to give pets lots of attention throughout the day! I only leave occasionally for work estimates, usually for just 1–2 hours, so your pet won't be left alone for long! Whether in my home or yours, I'll care for your pet like my own! I'll follow their routine, provide plenty of love, playtime, walks, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you're away!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Bottle
Hello Faith, Thank you for your support and care for Beatrice while I was visiting family out of state. I appreciate that you kept me well updated about Beatrice. With her diabetes, she needs insulin injections every day. I found out she had diabetes in January of this year. I was still a bit worried about her. I appreciate you have experience giving insulin and you have a lot of knowledge about animals. Beatrice was relaxed and comfortable with you. Thank you for sending me photos and texts with updates. I would like for you to take care of Beatrice in the future. Thank you so much. Patti

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.
