About: I’ve had the joy of caring for many animals over the years, and taking care of them has always come naturally to me. I’m comfortable giving medications, whether that means hiding a pill in a little cheese or a piece of hot dog, and I also have experience giving insulin injections to a dog. More than anything, I simply love animals. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and special needs. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while their family is away. I would treat your pet with the same patience, kindness, and affection that I give my own. At the end of the day, I just want to help animals enjoy their lives and make sure their owners can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in loving hands. ❤️🐾 Pet sitting fits wonderfully into my daily routine because I have a flexible schedule and truly enjoy spending time with animals. I have a dog of my own who is very much part of our family, so caring for animals comes naturally to me. ❤️ With my husband going through cancer treatment, Rover also gives me a chance to get out of the house, do something I genuinely enjoy, and share some extra love with other people’s pets. It makes me happy knowing I can help someone while giving their furry family member the attention, companionship, and love they deserve. 🐾❤️ I am very reliable and trustworthy. I will take good care of your animal as if it was my own. That’s just the way I feel and I hope that I could give you the greatest experience, taking care of your animal.
“Our family highly recommends Emma! She did really well and beyond our expectations with our big dogs. She responds very quickly and sends updates during the day. Which were really important for us. We felt really at ease knowing that she was the one watching our dogs and staying at our house. We actually booked her for another sitting schedule! :)”
About: We have had cats and dogs in our family my entire life. I was born and raised caring for our animals as family members. We have always had multiple cats and dogs, as well as assorted other critters. A few years ago, I lived in Madison working at a Doggy Daycare. There we had lots of training in dog body language and behaviors. I spent each day looking after a pack of at least 20 dogs. That job helped me gain lots of experience working with all kinds of different dogs, behaviors and personalities! The doggy daycare also implemented behavioral training. Each day we would work with the dogs and puppies to make sure we were working on positive behaviors with positive reinforcements! I am currently available to help be there for your furbabies and their needs! I would love to be the one to help them feel comfortable while you're away! I live in a spacious, pet friendly duplex. The current tenants include: my husband and myself, our two cats, Mister and Nilla, and my leopard gecko, Echo! I have access to plenty of areas to run and play, as well as a place to get plenty of cuddles! The care I give your pets will match what they need. I know that your fur babies are special and important to you and I intend to treat them as if they were my own. My place or yours, your furry friend will feel at home!
“Kristy did a fantastic job, I couldn't have asked for anyone better to check in on my cats and make them feel comfortable. She sent pictures and they looked very happy with her. I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!”
About: I’ve taken care of a wide range of pets. From cats, dogs, birds, rodents and farm animals. I am also able to take care of animals with higher needs. I’ve had elderly pets who need medication and animals that I have found with injuries that I took care of. I am available all week and I occasionally visit my parents on the weekend. Other than that I do not leave town often, if I do ever have a trip planned I would update my schedule. I know how important routines are so sticking to what is requested is essential. Animals that need to be kept separate is also an important thing to know.
About: I’ve had animals my whole life. My stepmom was a vet and helped me start a pet sitting business when I was younger! So excited to be able to help an animal and owner once again! I have 4 dogs and a cat! Every morning I feed, water, and give them love! Take the dogs out around 4 times a day. I clean my cats litter box twice a day. Give them all baths weekly or biweekly. Treats probably twice a day to make sure they love me still. I have a closed off fence in my backyard for my doggies! They love playing outside for HOURS if I let them. I take them on frequent walks. Around 3-4 times a week. My cat always has her vest on and I take her all around with me.
About: I grew up with all kinds of animals, including Great Danes, so I'm good with all sizes of dogs. Also, I frequently would take care of a family's friends' pets for weeks at a time while they were away, which gave me experience with all kinds of pets. I have a pretty flexible schedule as my job is mainly afternoon/nights during the weekends. So I have plenty of time to love and care for your fur babies during the week. I do many things to ensure your pets safelty, for example, when I'm taking your pet out to the bathroom, I always make sure that I can see them at all times; if you have a fence, that it is shut and locked; or, if you have some kind of tie-out for them, that they are securely attached. The same goes for when we are walking; I always double-check that the leash is secured to their harness/collar.
“Michelle regularly does check ins and has done a couple overnights for my pup. She arrives on time, takes great care of my dog, communicates, follow instructions, and sends lots of pics. She is incredibly nice and attentive to my pup and also this nervous dog mom lol. I am very selective in who let care for my gentle giant; I trust Michelle completely and know my baby is in amazing hands. She treats my dog like one of her own, his schedule is followed, and he gets to relax at home with lots of love while I am a way. I’d give more than 5 stars if I could! We are grateful for her at our house!”
“Cortlyn was awesome! She was so comfortable with Zeke! With him being reactive I always get a little nervous with leaving him with other people but I felt he was in the best of hands!! Thank you for taking care of our boy!!”

About: I’ve watched my neighbors animals. I’ve had pets of my own. What sets me apart, I would say. My heart. I wish I could have animals full time. Just can’t where I am. I work full time during the week, home every weekend. I’ll always make time to care for your pet/pets! Treat them like they’re mine. Ty.

About: Hi! I'm a dependable animal lover who enjoys spending time with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I grew up around dogs, including a reactive German Shepherd, and I've also helped care for both small and large dogs in my family, so I'm comfortable with a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I'm especially good at reading dog body language and making sure dogs feel safe and understood. Whether it's going for walks, playing, or helping a dog burn off energy in a positive way, I focus on keeping things calm, structured, and fun. I'm patient, attentive, and reliable, and I always treat every dog like they're my own. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while you're away. I am a college student so after 3pm on Monday's, Wednesdays, and Thursdays I am available for any of the services needed. This way I can board on the weekends for sure. I have an unfenced yard with a puppy that loves to play. I have a crate available for most dogs. I have a 100ft long leash so you don’t have to worry about your pet.
About: Lifelong personal experience caring for dogs, cats, and fish with a variety of personalities and temperaments. Beyond caring for my own pets, I have provided in-home pet care and house-sitting for others. I’m adaptable, attentive to detail, and committed to following each pet’s unique routine and care instructions. I’m a full-time college student with classes from about 9 AM to 3 PM, but I have hours between classes that give me plenty of flexibility for pet care. After 3 p.m., I am usually free and can devote a lot of time to caring for pets. I can work walks, playing, feeding, and check-ins into my class schedule, and I have greater flexibility in the evenings and on weekends. I take care of pets in their own homes by maintaining as comfortable and regular a routine as I can. I adhere to all of the owner's directions, including those regarding playtime, medicine, walks, feeding schedules, and any special needs. Along with keeping their house tidy and safe, I also make sure pets have lots of attention, exercise, and company. While their owner is away, I want every pet to feel secure, at ease, and well-cared for.
About: I have worked with dogs for 12 years. I have worked at a dog boarding and daycare facility. I am an inspiring dog trainer as well! I am available to take care of your pets most days. I have therapy Monday and Wednesday that takes about an hour. I am very flexible so I can work around that. I have a kid and dog friendly service dog. I have 3 crates, plus two tie outs and an unfenced yard. I am always out when my dog goes outside

Kessia was absolutely fantastic! We all take trips, but worry about our pets while were gone. No need to worry with Kessia. She took wonderful care of my cat while I was gone. I could tell by the pictures she sent that he was happy. I would book her again in a second😊

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.
