“It’s always a joy working with Katie. I know that my cat is cared for and loved while we are away. She is extremely reliable and easy to work with. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter. We are so happy we found her.”
About: To whom it may concern: First, thank you for taking the time to consider me as a candidate to care for your pet. I want to assure you of my level of expertise, nurturing nature, and concern for training and order in their life/lives. After reviewing my qualifications, I urge you to consider the value you get by employing a candidate like myself--your pet will be treated like my own, cared for and assuredly will have an enjoyable time. My husband and I own a very well behaved and playful Australian Shepherd, Malachi. He's currently two and a half years old, and regularly receives attention that a herding dog needs. He's walked, exercised, and ran throughout the week. We constantly reinforce good habits and sharpen his training. Since we purchased him as a puppy, here's a small list of the training that he has mastered. - Sit - Come - Lay down - Roll over - Paw and other paw - Fetch - Whisper - Speak - Crawl - Get your ball - Drop it - Leave it Anybody can list a number of commands their dog has mastered, but it goes to show the amount of training that we have invested in our pet. We're regularly ensuring that he knows how to behave in front of people, other dogs, and alone. Dogs have very active brains that need to be worked out in order to keep them from developing bad habits such as digging, chewing, and needlessly barking. I will, if hired, employ the same level of determination in reinforcing your pet(s) good habits so that they are the best behaved that they can be. While I don't have a lot of quantitative experience in handling pets on my resume, our friends routinely consider us first for their long term pet care needs. We have recently watched our neighbors' two dogs for a period of 17 days while they went out of state--their dogs got walks, training, treats, and play time as appropriate. I am driven to get an opportunity to prove my value to you as a pet care provider. Consider me for employment and I know that both you and your pet(s) will be satisfied with the decision. I'm available to meet and interview prior to any employment. I will also consider dog-sitting in home if your dog is up to date on vaccines and has a local veterinary care provider. Thanks again for your consideration. I look forward to hearing positively from you soon. Very Respectfully, Carlyn Buchs

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.
