About: Love animals and I will keep them very safe and make sure nothing happens to them. I am very responsible and know a lot about animal care due to my 4 years studies in high school in veterinary major and volunteered at a vet clinic with 177 hours. I have also pet sit a house with 4 cats and 2 dogs. I am free anytime in the week just let me know in advance and I’ll let you know. My schedule is pretty flexible and I can manage to fit your fur babies into it! I care animals by making sure they have the right amount of food not too much not to little and playing with them so they get some activity and playtime. If it is a dog I will take them out to walk as many times as requested. I am very responsible when it comes to animals. For cats I always make sure to never let them be able to even try to go outside if they are an only indoor cat.

“Diana took excellent care of my two dogs while we were away. She checked in every day, sent plenty of pictures, and kept me completely at ease the entire time. We came home to happy, healthy doggies who were clearly well cared for and loved. She is punctual, very communicative, and truly goes above and beyond. I was extremely pleased with the level of care she provided. We will definitely be booking with her going forward, and I’m so grateful to have found such a reliable, kind dog sitter. Now we can actually enjoy our vacations without worry! Thank you Diana”

About: *Se habla español* I am a stay at home mom with one toddler who loves pets just as much as I do. I have been petsitting for over 10 years now. My home is a 3 level townhouse with security gates at each level and a screened in patio and balcony. My community is very pet friendly with plenty of pet designated areas close by and a dog park less than two miles away. I will provide picture updates and information regarding your pets directly to your mobile phone or email. We do provide some toys, bowls, and leashes during their stay in our home but we also encourage that you bring some of your own pet items to help them feel more at home. **Special rates are available for multiple pets** *Se habla español* Why I love dog sitting I have loved animals all my life but I have been caring for animals for over 10 years. My home is fitted with various gates that were meant for my son but also work well with dogs. I have two indoor cats that stay on the first floor but they have behaved great with our guest dogs. About my yard We have a small, tiled, fenced, and screened in patio in the rear of our 3 story townhouse that leads out to the large open yard.

About: Caring for pets isn't new to me. I'm the go-to pet sitter for a few of my best friends whenever they travel, and I've cared for everything from energetic young dogs to senior pups who require extra patience, medications, vitamins, and special care. I know every pet thrives on consistency, so I always ask for detailed instructions about feeding schedules, walks, medications, favorite toys, sleeping habits, and any little quirks that help them feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. After more than 20 years in the corporate world, including over 13 years in Human Resources, I recently decided to take a career break and slow things down a little while I figure out what’s next. It’s given me something I haven’t had much of in my career — flexibility. My schedule is very open, which means I’m able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets I’m caring for. I’m not rushing in and out between a full-time job or trying to squeeze pet care into an already busy schedule. I can work around their normal routines and be there for the walks, playtime, meals, medications, or simply the company they’re used to having. I’m starting locally because I’ve been caring for friends’ and family members’ pets for years and would love to continue doing something I genuinely enjoy while building my Rover experience. I’m also hoping to eventually combine pet sitting with my love of travel, so this feels like a really fun new chapter for me. If your pet has a specific schedule or needs someone who can be flexible, I’m happy to work around their routine. And if plans change or something unexpected comes up, I have the flexibility to adjust without it becoming a problem I can’t care for pets in my own home because pets aren’t allowed in my apartment, so I primarily offer care in your home. (My own pets live with my brother, so we have what you would call “joint custody” haha. I’m the auntie who visits any chance she gets and also the sitter whenever my brother is out of town.) Although I’m new to Rover, caring for pets and being responsible for someone else’s home is certainly not new to me. When I’m staying in their homes, I treat it with the same respect and care I would give my own. I’m tidy, respectful of your space, and mindful of your home and belongings. I’m also BIG on routine. Before you leave, I want/NEED to know detailed instructions on how things normally work for your pet — feeding times and portions, walks, medications or vitamins, bedtime, favorite treats, where they like to sleep, and all those little quirks that make them them. Show me their routine, and I’ll do my best to keep things as normal as possible while you’re away. Because I’m taking a career break, I have the flexibility to spend real quality time with your pets. Whether they love long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to keep them company throughout the day rather than just stopping in to feed them. I’ll also send regular photos and updates so you know how they’re doing and can actually enjoy your time away knowing they’re safe, comfortable, and in good hands :)

“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She is so sweet, friendly, and has such a great personality. From the moment I met her, I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures she sent throughout the stay, including photos of the dogs food, water and even their potty updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were doing well and being taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch our dogs again!”

About: I have had animals in my house since I was born, with up to 13 in my house at one point. I’ve had cats, dogs, ferrets, bunnies, bearded dragons, birds, and fish. So, I’ve had a lot of experience caring for animals and i’m very open and excited to care for many others! I start nursing school in the Fall, so I will be having classes, but, I have plenty of availability to care for your animals, with night shifts, day shifts, and can be open to whatever you need. I have indoor cats but I have taken care of outdoor cats as well. I have a kennel for my dog for when nobody is home for longer periods of time, but have cared for dogs with no kennels/crates.

About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up surrounded by them—from dogs and cats to rabbits, turtles, birds, ducks, chickens, goats and cows, along with a very beloved ferret who still holds a special place in my heart. That lifelong experience has made me comfortable around animals with all kinds of personalities, routines and needs. I've learned that every pet is different: some want to be right by your side, some need time to warm up, some have endless energy, and others are happiest simply knowing you're nearby. Today, I'm a proud cat mom to three, and my love for animals is a huge part of why I'm here. I know how much trust it takes to leave a beloved pet in someone else's care, and I want every owner to feel confident knowing their pet is being looked after with genuine affection, patience and attention. Whether I'm caring for your pet for a few hours or while you're away, my goal is simple: to make them feel safe, comfortable, loved and as close to their normal routine as possible. I'll care for them with the same thoughtfulness I'd want someone to give my own. ❤️ I currently have availability during evenings, nights, and weekends, allowing me to provide attentive care. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual schedule and routines so their experience feels familiar, comfortable, and well cared for. Since I provide care in my clients’ homes, my priority is making sure your pet feels comfortable in the environment they already know. I’m patient and attentive, and I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, boundaries, and any special instructions you have for their care. I’m also very respectful of the homes I’m trusted with. I’m naturally extremely tidy (admittedly, a bit of a neat freak!), so I’ll keep your pet’s spaces clean, tidy up as needed, and treat your home with the same care and consideration I would my own. My goal is for you to return to a happy, well-cared-for pet and a home that feels just as you left it—if not a little tidier. :)

About: What sets me apart is my patience, especially with shy or nervous pets. I take things slow and let them come to me so they always feel safe and comfortable. I’ve been pet sitting for friends for the past 7 years, caring for both cats and dogs with all different personalities. I’ve loved animals since I was a kid and even went/took horseback riding lessons once a week. Since my mom was scared of dogs, I wasn’t able to have one as a child, so I poured all my love into caring for my friends pets whenever I could - playing with them, cuddling them, and giving them the attention they needed. Now I have a dog and I used to have a cat of my own, and both require daily medication, so I’m experienced with giving pets medicine safely and gently. I genuinely love creating a calm, loving environment where every pet feels understood and cared for. I work from home two days a week. My office hours are 8am-5pm. My partner also works a lot from home so your pet won’t be home alone very often. I’m available for boarding during the week (as long as your pet is used to a similar schedule) and weekends. I care for pets by creating a calm, safe, and cozy space. I have a fenced yard and a nice neighborhood for walks. My friendly dog will keep your pup company. Your fur baby is welcome on all our furniture, just like my dog. If needed, I can easily crate your pet or let them stay loose. Whatever makes them and/or you feel most comfortable.

About: I have many years of experience taking care of animals with my mom who used to dog sit when I was younger. She would always tell me that we need to give pets time and attention as they are our family. Having owned 6 dogs, 5 cats, birds, fish, hermit crabs, turtles, etc. throughout my life I have experience administering meds, walking pets, feeding, and playing with them. I come from an animal loving home and currently have 3 cats. I currently work in the technology field and have been looking to do something extra on my time off. I have 3 cats and would love to have more pets I could offer my love to but unfortunately the hubby says no (how rude) so I’d like to take care of pets :) I have a fenced yard and allow my own pets outside time. I like to give pets enrichment ideas so they don’t get bored. I will make sure every pet I take care of is in a comfortable environment.

I couldn’t be happier with Alana! She was punctual, reliable, and took such great care of him. She made sure he was fed, stayed with him for a full hour, and spent time playing with him and giving him attention. It was so reassuring knowing he was happy, cared for, and in such good hands while I was away. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker.

FAQs for Pet Sitting - The Hammocks

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.
