“Perri was outstanding! I knew right away during our meet and greet that she would be awesome! Our usually-skittish kitty didn't even run away when Perri came over to meet her. She took great care of our fur baby, and sent regular photos and updates during her visits. I highly recommend her, and she will be the first one we call the next time we need a pet sitting expert!”


About: I ABSOLUTELY love dogs. I actually love all animals, I do not discriminate. I have been around pets my whole life. I am very patient and understanding with them. I get along with them more than people. I can provide a fun safe environment while I care for your fur baby. My yard is pretty spacious and we are slowly trying to turn it into a small farm . I do prefer to play and keep them in the house for security purposes, that way they’re never unsupervised. While you are away, your fur baby will not be missing any cuddles or treats. Staying at my house is not like a traditional boarding place, it gives your pup an opportunity to be a part of my family while you are away. For any who think their pet is difficult with others, fear not for I will not give up on the opportunity to make a new friend. DON'T HESITATE TO ASK ABOUT OTHER PETS, I LOVE ALL ANIMALS AND AM WILLING TO CARE FOR ANY :) If you are using Rover for the first time, you can use my promo code to get $20 off your first booking. Promo Code: DESSIF32845 I look forward to hosting your pet babies! Request from me: Please have your pets up to date on flea treatments, THANK YOU! We’re a homeschooling family so we’re constantly home, excluding dad. (Dad works outside of home) but the rest of the fam has plenty of time for to care for our guests. I have a fenced in yard. Pets will not be unattended outside. Always supervised. Baby gates can be used. Crates if needed, guest bedroom for alone time is available.

“Jamie was amazing with our 5-month-old golden doodle! She sent lots of pictures and it looked like they were having a blast! They played ball and our puppy got lots of belly rubs :)”

“Meridith was wonderful! My dog June can be a little shy at first but Meridith was so gentle and patient with June that she warmed up quickly! Meridith was very reliable and effective at communicating. I would definitely book her again to walk June.”

“Lauren did an EXCELLENT job with our pit. We would highly recommend her services to anyone. She took pics of each visit, arrived on time for 7 consecutive days. Great communication skills. 5 Stars from us!”

“So far my experience has been that Pilgrim, my spoiled 16 yr old with kidney problems, is in safe and trystworthy hands with Emilee. She follows instructions confidently, writes wonderful feedback about her visit, and takes great pictures for Pilgrim's Rover card. I feel very very lucky that Emilee lives close by and is my catsitter of choice! She is a thoughtful, mature, cheery young lady. Thanks!!!”

“Cortney was perfect in her care for my fur baby. Being able to have two visits for my little Katya set my mind at ease as it was a longer trip than I would have normally taken. Katya got quality play time in, pets and snuggled, and fed the appropriate amount of food each day. Water and litter box were perfectly maintained. I am so happy I found Cortney and I will absolutely retain her pet sitting services in the future! Thank you, Cortney!”

About: I’ve grown up my whole life around animals, we had 2 Great Pyrenees and 2 Pitbull/Mastiff Mixes. I absolutely loved caring for them and playing with them. I dog sat all throughout highschool into college and now that I’m settled down in my own house I’ve realized how much I miss it! So I’m getting started on Rover hoping I can help care for your pups when you aren’t able to while doing something I love! I have a toddler and a 1 year old Blackmouth Curr/Terrier mix named Nala. Nala is the absolute sweetest and thrives around other dogs. I do ask that for boarding that your pup is good around other dogs and children! I’m currently a stay at home mom to my toddler and my pup! So I have the free time to be able to help with yours 😊 I have a very large fenced in yard and lots of room to take dogs out for walks and to play! If I am sitting or walking at your home I always make sure to keep notes as to what rules you have or what your pups routine is.
About: I have owned pets my entire life. They are like kids to me. They are treated with respect and care equivalently so. I like pets more than humans. 😆 I own my own business and I work from home. I set my own schedule. I am very flexible. This allows me to give your pet lots of attention. I have a fenced in yard. I have a Pet door into the yard so they can come and go freely, when they have the “need”.
About: I’ve worked with dogs in a professional capacity for over a decade, including managing structured environments where consistency and temperament mattered. That experience shapes how I approach in-home care today: calm, observant, and steady. I adapt well to each home’s environment. Every household has its own rhythm, and I focus on maintaining that rhythm rather than disrupting it. I respect property, keep to designated shared spaces, and treat each home responsibly while I’m there. With animals, I prioritize patience and regulation. Dogs often mirror calm, consistent energy, and I remain relaxed and steady in my interactions. Whether maintaining feeding schedules, reinforcing expectations, or adjusting to unexpected wake-ups, I approach care with composure. I value clear expectations so I can maintain healthy boundaries and provide dependable, consistent care throughout your time away. Pet care fits naturally into my week. I maintain a consistent daily routine with flexible hours, and afternoons and evenings are open most days. Feeding, walks, and check-ins happen at reliable times so pets stay comfortable and owners know what to expect. I approach every home and animal with calm professionalism and respect. I’m attentive to boundaries, cleanliness, and consistency — whether I’m providing a single visit or longer in-home care. I don’t currently have pets of my own, which allows me to focus fully on the animals in my care. My priority is reliability: safe handling, clear communication, and a steady, grounded presence.
“Journey is the first sitter in nearly 8 years my unpredictable cat was actually comfortable with. She was able to pet/ cuddle with Slinky each day and that made my time away SO much better. Great photos/ records. Responsive to instructions. Hope to have her back!”

“Amanda has been fantastic - she drove over before our initial dates to do a meet and greet with all of the animals as well as give us a chance to show her where everything was at. We had initially scheduled her for later dates but we had an emergency and needed her the next day over the holidays, and she was thankfully available. She sent photos and info everyday to check in and the kitties and chickens were all doing well upon our return. We will continue to have her back when we need longer term in home stays for our dogs as well!”

“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”

About: I’ve been taking care of all sorts of pets since I became a teenager. I’ve also house sat in addition to pet sat for 8 years now, and have reliable references. Pet sitting is currently a side gig alongside my full time job, but I’d love to help with any pet care I can! I currently work 9-6 M-F at a daycare, so I will have mornings and evenings (plus a lunch break from work) and weekends to check in, feed, walk, play with, and clean up after your pet. I ensure leads and harnesses are properly put on pets when walks are needed, I ensure a clean house so that pets do not eat anything off the floor, tables, countertops, etc., I ensure doors are locked at all times

About: I’ve cared for animals throughout most of my life and am comfortable with a wide range of pets, personalities, sizes, and care needs. I grew up with a dachshund who was part of my family from age 8 until he passed away when I was 18, and I have also owned a cat. For six years, I regularly helped care for my roommate’s two elderly Miniature Schnauzers while she worked long nursing shifts. I frequently provided overnight care and handled more involved senior needs, including following detailed routines, cleaning up accidents, changing diapers, assisting with mobility, and keeping them comfortable and safe. I’ve also frequently pet-sat a friend’s young Goldendoodle, so I’m comfortable with energetic dogs, active play, and walks that sometimes feel more like a run! In addition, I farm-sit for my stepsister and care for her ducks, chickens, two small indoor dogs, and four large Great Pyrenees working dogs. This has made me comfortable managing multiple animals at once, following feeding and outdoor routines, and caring for both small companion pets and very large working breeds. Whether your pet is young and energetic, elderly and in need of extra patience, or simply happiest sticking to a familiar routine, I’ll provide dependable, attentive care and regular updates while you’re away. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, making me available for morning visits before work, evening visits after work, overnight house sitting, and weekend bookings. When caring for your pet, I prioritize keeping them on their normal routine and following any specific instructions you provide. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or needs extra attention due to age or special needs, I’ll provide dependable, loving care and keep you updated with photos and messages throughout your booking. Weekday dog walks are available after 5:00 PM due to my full-time work schedule. I’m available mornings, evenings, weekends, and overnight house sitting. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I understand that every animal has different needs, and I take the time to carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any other preferences you have. My experience ranges from caring for senior dogs with special needs and diapers to energetic puppies, giant Great Pyrenees, indoor and outdoor cats, and farm animals. I’m comfortable handling multiple pets, maintaining a calm environment, and adapting to each animal’s personality. I’ll treat both your home and your pets with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, and I’ll always keep you informed with regular updates so you can enjoy your time away with confidence.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 use the 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 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.
