“We couldn't be more pleased with Karlie. We've never used a pet sitter before (instead used friends) so we weren't really sure what to expect. Karlie was such a warm hearted pet sitter and her care for animals really showed. She went outta her way to make sure our dogs were all watched over while we were out of town. She came by twice a day to check on them and let them run around, while refilling food/water. Such peace knowing our dogs had such a good caretaker in our absence and gave us an ability to enjoy our time out of town without worry. So glad we've met Karlie as we can take some trips this year and not have to worry about our dogs!”
“Mary wadwonderful! My cats are a lot. In number and in issues. She never missed a beat and even guarded one while she fed her under the couch!! Thanks so so much!!! If you are wondering, wonder no more and use her!”
“Love Nicole! she very professional and cares for My pets if he was her own. And I love the fact she communicate with you with any problems or concerns you may have and she gets back to you with a sense of urgency! I will definitely recommend her??”
About: -Lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience since age 10—walking, grooming, and providing both overnight and daytime care for dogs of all personalities. -Owner of a 1-year-old mixed breed (American Staffordshire Terrier, Chow Chow, Pitbull, German Shepherd, Dalmatian) who is sweet, friendly, and loves to play with other dogs—giving me firsthand experience with energy management and socialization. -Calm, laid-back approach to dog care: I match my energy to the dog’s mood to keep them comfortable, happy, and relaxed. -Flexible schedule to accommodate walks, playtime, overnight stays, or drop-in visits. -Guided by my faith in God: I strive to show the same love, patience, and respect to every dog and their owner that God shows to me. -Committed to giving pets a safe, loving environment while keeping owners informed with updates and peace of mind. I am a full time property caretaker, so my schedule allows for lots of flexibility. I can bring dogs to my place and have them outside all day with me or I can leave them at their home and visit 3 times throughout the day within a 10 minute drive from my house. Pets needs are top priority, food, water, potty, meds, outside time, etc. I will not go to the ends of the earth just to get Spot his pup cup if you know what I mean.
“Sarah takes great care of our kittens. Always very kind and keeps you updated on how everything is going. I have no fears leaving our kittens with her, and I couldn’t recommend her more.”
About: I've taken care of a multitude of dogs, big and small, since I was a little girl. I have always loved every kind of animal and love to clean and make sure things are taken care of. I am currently working part time as an administrative assistant at Topgolf, but communication is key! As long as I am given 1-2 weeks advance notice I can make myself available for you. I can easily crate your dog if needed and I am an expert at putting cats in carriers. I read animal body language very well and know when to step in and how to meet their exact needs.
About: I’ve used a different walking app before and I love being around cats and dogs! I’ve recently got a cute cat and his name is Alfred and recently Nala and they are the best thing ever! So I’m very capable of taking care of another cat and a puppy if needed and I can even take them for a walk if needed as well! I’m currently working full time M-F second shift at my job so I am available most mornings and I’m available during the weekend if needed I do live in apartment complex, but it does have a cute little play area for dogs for them to play and use the restroom if needed
About: I've had pets since I was little. We got our first dog when I was in about 4th grade. At the moment I have a Guinea pig. I've been to obedience school with my dog before so I think that might come in handy. Other than that. I just want to enjoy their company. And also keep an eye on your bundle of joy for you. I've had pitbulls, pinkingneses, and a beagle before but I mostly know about smaller dogs. I've read a plethora of dog books from my local library during my early teenage years to get a good understanding of most species. I also am constantly researching anything I need to, on more than just Google and wikipedia but multiple sources. I hope I can be of service to anyone who would have me. I work two part time jobs and am looking to fill my time with some fur babies. The time spend at both jobs is equal to less than 40 hours. I have a crate trained dog in my home and plenty of yard to run around. I live on a dirt road so it is not traveled often.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
