“Karen has been a real lifesaver! She has helped out on several occasions (with very short notice) to check on my two dogs and cat. I really appreciate her and my beasts look forward to seeing her again soon!!”
“Kelly was amazing and is apparently an amateur photographer. Loved the great photos and care for my fur babies! She kept me well informed and in the loop on everything going on at home while I was away. I will definitely rebook for my next trip!”
“Alexandra was amazing with our very nervous dog. She went above and beyond ensuring he felt comfortable and well taken care of. It was fantastic getting updates every drop in with how he was doing and pictures. I would recommend her whole heartedly for anyone with nervous or medically complex animals. I can’t stress enough how wonderful she was for our dog and us.”
About: I’m a genuine and dependable animal lover trustworthy and responsible. I’m patient, attentive, and committed to making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I’m happy to follow specific feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines, and I’m especially patient with pets who need extra attention, including young, energetic, shy, or senior pets. I treat every pet as if they were my own and make sure their owners can feel confident and at ease while they’re in my care. I am available daily for pet sitting and boarding and dog walking! I love being around animals and will provide a beautiful experience that's safe and trustworthy! I have a fenced yard and live in a pet friendly subdivision with several trails that your pet may enjoy! I love animals and I am taking this as a full time job and following my passion for animal care.
About: I have taken care of neighbors, friends, and family’s pets! I have worked in a boarding facility for 1 year and absolutely love all furry friends! I’m currently working part time, so I have extensive availability to play with your pups! I do have trips but I am generally always in the area! I love to run around and play with any furry friends and am willing to do any tasks you need to make sure they are happy!
“My kitty Matilda just loves Lauren! Lauren takes the best care of my kitty. My friends always volunteer to watch Matilda for free. But I politely decline and call Lauren! Thank you so much for taking such good care of my lil kitty!”
“Beth is the BOMB DIggity Doggie Caretaker! If you need someone to LOVE your baby & give them their best… you need to look NO further! Beth will treat them super special while you are away & share precious photo moments with you during her visits! I was so blessed to see my Solly enjoying his walks to his favorite spots each day! I left him some bacon as well as with her attention to my Solly while I was away! She took Solly for his daily walks & even gave him some added”
“Alana took care of my cat with no issues and he was more than happy to receive the visits. She even adapted to a quick change of plan which was great! Will definitely ask her again for cat sitting.”
About: I’ve shared my life with dogs and cats for as long as I can remember, including adopted and rescue animals of different ages, personalities and needs. I have special experience caring for senior and medically fragile pets. I adopted a very elderly, sick dog who required frequent medication and attentive daily care, and I also cared for my cat through medical needs that required consistent medication. I’m currently a devoted dog mom to Graci, a two-year-old Labrador, and a proud grandmom to Zoey, a two-year-old mini Australian Shepherd/Corgi mix. Caring for animals has given me hands-on experience with walks, feeding routines, playtime, medication schedules, close supervision and helping pets feel safe and comfortable. I understand that rescue animals and senior pets may need additional patience, consistency and time to build trust. I’m also a retired federal professional known for being dependable, observant and calm in unexpected situations. I understand that trusting someone with your pet—and your home—is a very personal decision. I will follow your instructions carefully, communicate consistently and provide plenty of photos and updates so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Important Booking Policies & Rates 🐾 Please review my standard hours and specialized rates before booking: * Extended Daycare Policy: My standard daycare rate covers up to 10 hours of care. Any daycare stay that exceeds 10 hours will automatically be upgraded to my Boarding Rate for that day. * Puppy Care Fee: Because puppies require extra attention, frequent potty breaks, and constant supervision, a +$15 puppy fee applies per day/visit for any dog under 1 year old. This fee applies to all Daycare, Boarding, and Dog Walking requests. Note: Rover automatically calculates the puppy rate for some services, but if it doesn't apply correctly to your request, I will manually modify the total to reflect these policies before finalizing the booking. Thank you for understanding! “Continuing my professional development” sounds more natural and polished than “pursuing additional courses.” I’m currently taking a professional break while continuing my professional development, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide your pet with attentive, loving care. I’m home much of the day and can easily accommodate feeding, playtime, medication, cuddles, and your pet’s normal routine. Safety and comfort are always my priorities. I have one friendly Labrador who gets along well with other dogs and can be crated or kept separately if needed. My neighborhood is great for safe, leashed walks, and I carefully follow each pet parent’s instructions regarding feeding, medication, exercise, and routines.
About: I have been house sitting for 25 years along with house cleaning. Since I have retired from cleaning houses I now have more time to house sit. I have always loved animals and they love me dearly. All the dogs and cats are always so loving and I love to spend that with them. I follow the instructions of the owner. I make sure that your fur babies take the medicine required and eat when they are suppose to. I also take the dogs for walk unless you just let them out back in the fenced back yard.
“Pam was great. I appreciated the daily text and photo of my pup which eliminated any anxiety I had prior to and during our family vacation. Hope she will sit for us on our next trip away.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 8 years, and it’s something I genuinely love. I’ve worked with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I also have experience caring for dogs with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, administering medications, and paying close attention to any changes in behavior or comfort. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets, and I always treat every dog like they’re my own. I prioritize keeping their routine consistent so they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have volunteered in the past with being a temporary foster for shelter/rescue dogs. I also have volunteered with driving dogs in rescues to their medical appointments. I’m reliable, communicative, and respectful of your home and your pet’s needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, extra attention, or more specialized care, I’m here to help. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your dog the time, attention, and consistency they need. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and sitting throughout the week, with more open availability in the afternoons and evenings. I do my best to accommodate your pet’s routine and can provide reliable, timely care you can count on. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. I take the time to understand each dog’s routine, personality, and any specific needs including medical care or medications. I follow instructions closely and keep a watchful eye on behavior to ensure your dog feels secure and well cared for. In your home, I’m respectful of your space and maintain a calm, clean environment. On walks, I stay attentive, avoid unsafe situations, and ensure your dog is always secure. I’m also happy to provide updates so you feel at ease while you’re away.
“Kiley was absolutely wonderful to my sweet pup. She provided play time and a potty break in the middle of the day when I was at work. And even managed to befriend my cat who hides from everyone. Her time and attention given to my pup was greatly appreciated by both the humans and the dog who was much happier being at home than at doggy daycare.”

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
