“This was my first time working with Amanda. She met at the house for a pre-trip meeting and was very engaged with meeting my cat and understanding the set up. Excellent job taking care of my old cat while I was abroad. She provided good communication and photos. I strongly recommend Amanda for cat sitting.”

“This was my first time using Rover for my dog, I was a little nervous about my dog not being cared for by family. But Isabel was so kind and friendly. She sent me messages and pictures of my Oliver when I was away. I was so impressed by this service. I know my dog is a handful but he seemed very happy the whole weekend. I will absolutely recommend Isabel!! I hope she is available to help next time I am out of town. Thank you so much Isabel!!!”

About: Hi! I’ve spent the last year training a puppy and have come to love proving for and protecting furry babies! Can’t wait to meet yours! I work Monday-Wednesday and have my own pup at home, but I am available Thursday-Saturday as long as it’s not the whole day. I want to make sure both of our babies are taken care of! I frequently take out my own dog and regularly bathe him and walk him, I make sure he has plenty of brain toys and is both physically and mentally stimulated. I also provide lots of cuddles for the heart!

About: I've owned many animals over my life, cats, dogs, horses, chickens, lizards. I've taken my dogs to animal chiropractors, trained my horse and distributed meds accordingly to my senior animals. I've also pet sit for my older siblings on many occasions. I understand that the needs of every animal is different and needs to be attended to. I am currently trying to apprentice in a very competitive field and pet sitting is my in between job while I look for better positions. I live on a small farm, before my dogs passed I walked them twice a day, I have bout toys and boxes to entertain my cats, handled my lizard with care and an appropriately sized tank, and trained my horse slowly and it has really kept him healthy in his old age. Animals in my care will receive the attention, exercise and safety they need. I have a very open schedule as I am not yet employed but have applied at pharmacies. I also work a couple shifts at the Cold Stone and get to bring home ice cream oftentimes. I feed them and change their water every everyday, play with them, search for enriching toys for them to play with. With. Sometimes I put on TV for them and my girl cat likes when I rock her.

About: ### About Me 🐾 I have been a dog lover my entire life and have always had dogs as part of my family. To me, pets aren't just animals—they're family, and I understand how important it is to know your baby is safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I will treat your dog with the same love, patience, and attention that I give my own. Whether your pup loves walks, playtime, snuggles, or simply having someone nearby, I want them to feel comfortable, happy, and at home while they are in my care. I also know how hard it can be to leave your pet with someone new, so I want you to feel comfortable too! I am happy to provide updates, pictures, and plenty of reassurance while you're away. Your dog will be loved and cared for like one of my own. ❤️🐶 Pet care fits very naturally into my everyday routine. I have always had dogs of my own, so feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention are already a normal part of my day. I enjoy spending time with animals and am happy to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s individual needs. Whether your dog needs extra walks, playtime, snuggles, or just someone to keep them company, I will make sure they get plenty of attention and feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I know how important routines are for dogs, so I will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, walks, medications, playtime, and bedtime routines. I want your pet to feel as comfortable and secure as possible while you are away. Whether I am caring for your pet in my home or yours, they will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and snuggles. I am also happy to send pictures and updates so you can relax knowing your baby is safe, happy, and loved!

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have always had a dog of my own, so caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life. I’m comfortable with the everyday needs of dogs, including feeding, walks, bathroom breaks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and care instructions so they feel safe, comfortable. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or simply having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the care and companionship they need. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m available for dog walks, drop-in visits, feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship. I enjoy being active and spending time with dogs, and I’m happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. As I return to nursing, I plan to continue offering pet care on my days off, making Rover a great way for me to stay active and spend time with your pets 💕 For now, I’m offering drop-in visits and dog walking rather than boarding pets in my home. I’m happy to visit your home, take your dog outside for a potty break or walk, provide fresh food and water, and spend some time giving them attention and companionship. I’m a calm, caring, and responsible person, and I want every pet to feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. I’m especially interested in dogs who are comfortable with walks and drop-in care and who are able to follow basic commands. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine and any specific instructions you provide so you can feel confident that your pup is well cared for while you’re away.

“Mariahn did an incredible job watching my two dogs while I was on vacation. One of my dogs is very shy and it takes her a long time to warm up to people. I was so worried about leaving her while I was on vacation. She immediately bonded with Mariahn at the meet and greet which I think says a lot about a person. She is very kind, professional and knowledgeable when it comes to animal behavior. She gave me such peace of mind while I was away knowing my dogs were safe and happy. I would highly recommend hiring her as a pet sitter.”

About: With 10 years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets and those of family and friends, I have developed a deep understanding of various animal needs, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Additionally, my experience caring for dogs, cats and various small animals gives me a unique perspective on the different ways animals express their needs. With three cats and a rat at home, I know firsthand how to create a nurturing environment that meets each pet’s individual requirements. My goal is to provide peace of mind to pet owners, knowing their furry family members are in capable and caring hands. Currently, I work part-time from 1 PM to 6 PM, Monday through Friday, which gives me ample time in the mornings to tend to the needs of pets. Whether it’s taking them for a long walk, feeding, or simply spending quality time with them, I can dedicate my mornings to ensuring they are happy and well-cared for. On weekends, my availability is completely open. This means I can cater to a variety of pet care needs, from extended walks to overnight sitting, ensuring that your furry friends receive the attention and love they deserve. When caring for pets in my clients' homes, I maintain their established routines to minimize stress and ensure consistency. I adhere to their feeding and walking schedules, take time to play and bond, and keep an eye on their behavior and health. I also ensure the home environment remains clean and secure, with plenty of fresh water and safe access to outdoor areas for bathroom breaks. Communication is key, so I keep clients updated with photos and messages, providing them with peace of mind while they’re away. Whether at my home or theirs, my focus is always on creating a nurturing and loving atmosphere for every pet in my care.

She cleaned up my house when she had a little bit of an accident and was extremely communicative, always providing lots of updates and photos throughout her visits too. Definitely recommended her services to everyone in the Janesville area! 😄”

Kelly was wonderful. Our dogs truly felt at ease and enjoyed every visit. Loved the picture updates that truly put our minds at ease that our fur babies were in great hands. I will definitely be calling on her again and highly recommend her.

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.
