“Lora Renee is great with Maggie! She responds quickly and is able to adapt when I make mistakes with the bookings! Our dog Maggie always seems tired after a visit with Lora Renee which is what we want! She is great and we will keep using her! Highly recommend Lora Renee”

“Marie is wonderful and takes such good care of my senior kitty. The notes and photos she sends every day really helps me feel confident that he’s doing well. I highly recommend Marie and look forward to her caring for my old boy in the future.”

About: Hi there my name is Kelsey and I have centered my life around the health and well being of our furry friends. I spent 6 years working in pet insurance and have gained a lot of knowledge about how to create healthy and safe environments for our animals. The key is giving them time to warm up to a new environment, routine care and lots of affection. My own dog turns 15 this year and people still ask me if she is a puppy because of how active and happy she is around others. I always treat every animal as if they are my own and would be honored to do so for your pet too. I spend the majority of my time at home, hanging out in the backyard and have a pretty flexible schedule. We’d go outside at least 5-10 times a day, always early in the morning and right before bed. I have a fenced yard on over an acre of land and lots of non-harmful plants that my dogs loves to sniff around. When the dogs are outside I will be right there with them enjoying the afternoon.
“Ardelle came to our place to do a meet & greet with our dog. Our very anxious Bear warmed up to her instantly! As we talked through all of our dog's needs, Ardelle was very friendly, receptive, and knowledgeable. She has a lot of working dog experience and it shows! That put me at ease really quickly and I'm confident that our dog will be safe & happy in her hands. Thank you, Ardelle!”

About: I have been a dog sitter awhile and have gained a lot of experience. I have done overnight stays, check ins, dog walks, and more. I have a puppy of my own and have grown up with dogs my whole life. Neighbors, friends, and more have trusted me to check in on their pets, feed them, and play with them. Worked with many different dogs and various ages. I’m currently working part-time so I have plenty of time to come check in on the pups and play with them. My work schedule does change depending on the week but I am available every day of the week. I am free mornings and nights and would have time mid day to check in on the dogs. I have a fenced yard for my dog and I walk him twice a day so he can get his energy out. I would walk your dogs how ever much is needed. Additionally, I would make sure to check in on them multiple times outside of my other jobs to ensure that they are good and can be let out. I am comfortable making sure any necessary medication is given on time and that they are also fed at there normal times. I know how much pets need to play and I would love to play fetch and more with your pets!!
About: I’ve had cats since I was a baby, and I was tasked with feeding them and cleaning their litter once I was old enough, and I have a few tricks up my sleeve regarding their medication. I’ve been around a variety of pets my whole life, so I’m very adaptable. I’m also welcoming of any special needs pets, seniors or otherwise! If they’re blind, deaf, paralyzed, can’t control their bladder, need wound care, you name it, I’m perfectly fine with all of it. The amount of pets doesn’t bother me either. If you need a quiet presence for your fur-babies, or one that can keep up with high-energy or high-maintenance pets, I’m your sitter! If there’s one thing I can guarantee, it’s that your fur-babies will be given a lot of love and attention under my care, even if it’s from afar. Your fur-babies needs and comfort come first, regardless of how cute they are, so if they’re wary of strangers I’ll keep my distance. Their boundaries will not be pushed, and I will do my best to not stress them unnecessarily unless I think their safety is at risk. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me and ask, I’m happy to answer! As of right now, I’m taking a summer break from college and have no active jobs that require me to go in person. So I’d say my schedule is probably one of the freest one’s you’ll see. The few responsibilities I have can be attended remotely as long as I have a working computer, but they never take more than two hours at most. Unfortunately, caring for your pets at my own home is not currently available and is incredibly unlikely to be, as I DO live with my parents and they gave a very adamant “no” to that idea. So apologies about that, however I’m more than happy to stay overnight if needed! If your fur-babies have special quirks or need special care, I’m perfectly capable of giving it as long as detailed written instructions are left. However I may ask for a visual demonstration in certain cases, but they’re not required as long as the instructions are written down. I’ll try to stay in the same general vicinity/room as your pets unless instructed otherwise or I notice the action is stressing them, or if they go into a room you don’t want me in. Otherwise, what I do will depend on your instructions to me or what your pet(s) want! Once everything has been attended to for the day and your pets have no longer wish to play, I will be chilling near your pet reading a book or on my phone. During longer stays, I may ask to bring my laptop or tablet. If it’s for more than five days, my laptop WILL be brought as there are certain things I need to attend to on or with it. Regardless of what I’m doing, I’ll always be keeping an eye on your fur-babies and drop what I’m doing if needed. If you have me stay overnight, I’ll bring my own pillow and blanket along with my overnight bag and use either the sofa or any provided sleeping arrangements. I also won’t touch anything in the fridge or pantry unless given EXPLICIT permission, and will instead order in or have my parents or a friend bring me something if I haven’t packed anything. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out and ask me!
“Andrew took great care of Shadow while we were out of town. He sent updates and pictures which gave us peace of mind. He even braved the April snow storm to make sure Shadow was taken care of. Our pup was happy and healthy when we got home.”


“Emily was amazing! She came twice a day to look after my puppy and was absolutely great with him. She kept me updated with tons of wonderful photos and reassurance. I highly recommend her!”

“Gianna was awesome taking care of our two dogs while we were away. She is reliable, caring and thorough. I left specific care instructions and she followed them perfectly. I will definately be booking with her in the future. Thanks!”

About: I've taken care of dogs of all types and sizes, ranging from Frank, a 130+ pound lab mix, to my parent's dog Willow, a 20-pound Bernedoodle. I grew up learning about dogs from my grandma who competes in dog shows. I watched as she taught her dogs to jump and listen to her every command. My parents then got Willow as a little puppy where I realized consistency and puppy pads are essential. I have always been an active person and can't wait to take your dogs on a walk or maybe a run for those active dogs! I'm training for a marathon and would love the extra exercise. I can't wait to meet your pup! I currently work part-time as a substitute teacher while working on my teaching certification and master's online. I am coaching a 7th-grade girl's basketball team for 2 hours a day on weekdays. My schedule is very flexible and I can work around your dog's needs! I do not have a place for your dog to visit my home but I would love to watch your dog at your home or take them out on walks. I can crate dogs in your home if that is needed. I can feed, walk, brush, and play with your dog! Let me know how to best help you and your pup and I will do my absolute best.
About: I have experience watching many different types of dogs and cats. I have fostered a puppy as well as dog sat for many different breeds and ages. I grew up with cats and have also cared for many different personalities! I love animals and am so happy to help look after yours! I just moved up to Washington and am looking for a full time job so I have lots of flexibility and free time! I also love animals and would love to explore more parts of washington as well! I have experience with many different animals and owners. So I’m open to different types of care just let me know your needs and I’m happy to accommodate them!!!
“Lindsay was wonderful with our very particular/anxious/stressed kitty!! She was incredibly patient with her and respected her boundaries and space. She followed all of our instructions for care and was very communicative with us. She left great rover cards and took lots of photos. We knew our cat was in great hands while we were out of the country. Will definitely book with her again! She is reliable and overall a great sitter!”

About: I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m very attentive to each dog’s routine and needs, whether that means regular walks, playtime, enrichment activities, or simply providing calm companionship. I understand that every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, comfort level, and any specific instructions from their owner. I’m comfortable handling feeding schedules, walks, basic grooming like brushing, cleaning up after pets, and making sure dogs get the exercise and attention they need. I pay close attention to behavior and body language so I can make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. My goal is always to make pets feel as relaxed and loved as they would at home. I also make sure owners feel at ease by providing updates and photos so they know their dog is in good hands. Pet care fits very naturally into my routine because I currently have a very open and flexible schedule. This allows me to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship throughout the day rather than rushing visits. I’m able to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they get the care, consistency, and attention they’re used to at home. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I make sure every dog in my care is supervised, secure, and in a calm environment where they can feel safe and relaxed. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, exercise, routines, and any special needs their dog may have. I pay close attention to behavior and body language to make sure dogs are comfortable and not stressed. I also keep a clean and organized environment, remove any potential hazards, and make sure dogs are always handled with patience and care. When outside, I prioritize leash safety and awareness of surroundings to ensure safe walks. Building trust with both dogs and their owners is very important to me. I provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your dog is doing and can have peace of mind while you’re away. My goal is to create a safe, positive, and dependable experience for every dog I care for. 🐶
“Jennifer was amazing with our Ruby! She was also very accommodating with a scheduling change. Ruby loved her right away. Highly recommend and we will book again. :)”

“Janine did a fantastic job caring for Wally while we were traveling! She was incredibly attentive, communicative, and patient throughout the entire process. Wally can be a little cautious and takes time to build trust with new people, and Janine was so understanding and willing to work with him at his own pace. Her patience, kindness, and dedication gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. We truly appreciate the care and effort she put into making Wally feel comfortable and safe. Janine is wonderful, and we will absolutely continue using her services. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy sitter!”

About: Hi, I’m Ardelia! As a lifelong pet lover, science nerd, a soccer coach, and a mom, I know that your pets aren't just animals—they are family. I understand the stress of finding someone you can trust with your "fur babies," and I am here to provide the peace of mind you need while you’re away. We have Luke, our sweet 6-year-old German Shepherd/Husky mix, and Gabe, our 10-year-old cat. Our home is a pet paradise! We have a large, fully fenced yard with professional turf, perfect for zoomies and safe outdoor play. Why choose me? Medical Experience: My senior cat, Gabe, is diabetic. I am fully comfortable and experienced in administering medications and monitoring special medical needs. Total Flexibility: Life happens! Whether it’s a last-minute business trip or a change in plans, I offer a flexible cancellation policy and welcome short-notice bookings. Active Lifestyle: When I’m not coaching on the soccer field, I’m hiking the beautiful PNW trails. If your dog loves to move, they’ve found the right sitter! A "Mom’s" Perspective: I treat every guest pet with the same love, routine, and attention I give my own kids and pets. I have a flexible work from home schedule, so I have plenty of time on weekdays and weekends to care for your fur babies. I set my own schedule so I can arrange my workday appointments accordingly around your pet's needs. For overnight or day visits, I have a fenced back yard with turf and two friendly pets to keep them company in my home. I will always treat your home and your fur babies with love and respect during drop-in and walking visits. Under my care, I will give your pets my sole attention and ensure they are happy and loved while you are away.
“Elizabeth had a quick response to our last-minute need for a drop-in while we were visiting from out of town. She already had great reviews so we felt we could trust her with our baby. She followed all of our instructions? Was very communicative, and took extra care to make sure our girl felt comfortable and safe with a new person. Leaving your baby while out of town can be super stressful when you don’t have a sitter you know, but she took the stress out of it. Thank you!”

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.
