About: I've taken care of my family's dogs for five years, being the main trainer for both of them. I also have housesat for a family with two older dogs who needed more supervision as well as medication. I am not working currently, but I am helping my family during the day, so evenings and weekends are set aside for animals. Shorter check-ins during the day can be done as well. I can also spend nights with animals if you need me to. I can not take pets into my home just because I do not have enough space, but in the client's home I can care for pets however they want me to.
“Denisse is AMAZING! I can tell she genuinely loves animals and spending time with my cat. She always leaves very detailed reports, too. Will absolutely be requesting her again when I need it :)”
About: When I was a kid and up to my late teens my family had two dogs. They were great dogs and I have fond memories of them. We made sure they were fed twice a day, had clean water, and picked up their poop in the yard. Of course if a medical situation came up, they were taken to the vet. Currently I don't have a dog, however, that doesn't mean I don't enjoy dogs. Other than I have scheduled activities throughout the week I can easily drop by and check on your beloved pet(s). (May have appointments so will need to adjust times.) Sundays: after 12pm, Mondays: free all day, Tuesday: after 12pm, Wednesday: free all day until 6pm, Thursday: free all day, Friday: free all day, Saturday: free after 1:30pm. I'm currently residing with family so I can easily house sit. I just need a list of details that need to be done for your house and your pet(s). My cats and my family's get many pets and are loved on very much. They love being let outside in the backyard. They get snacks at certain times of the day. They always have food and fresh water, even one from a water fountain bowl. Their litter boxes are cleaned out weekly. I'm a tidy person. I'm usually good about checking mail, turning the outdoor lights on at night, and locking doors when coming and going. I live a quiet life so this gives me time to stay longer at drop offs to play and give extra care to your pet(s).
About: I won't just treat them as a "pet" I treat all animals as family. I have taken care of various dog and cats from family members and friends since I was a child. This included staying over, walking, feeding, training and playing. At the moment I am pursuing schooling for dog training so I have open availability I usually ask for a days notice but it never hurts to ask. I have had experience with larger dogs (German shepherds, Great Pyerenese, Pitbulls and Saint Bernards) as well as small dogs (Chihuahua's, Shih Tzu and Dachshunds). I also provide baths and nail trimming when asked. I enjoy running too so if your looking to get your dog in shape! If your pets coming to my house they must be crate trained (for when I sleep) and friendly with other dogs.
“Ashton and Shelby are responsible, caring and conscientious. They are great at communicating, and showed flexibility when I had a need for an extra visit. Knowing that they were truly caring for my animals helped me have the peace of mind needed to relax and enjoy my trip. I highly recommend them and will not hesitate to hire them again. My cats, rabbits, fish and plants were all well-looked after and I really enjoyed all the photos and updates!”

About: I love all animals and all breeds. Since I was young I have been caring for and around numerous types and breeds of animals. I have learned that much like people every dog, cat, lizard, etc has its own personality and needs. Im ready and willing to give your pets the best care and love imaginable while you're away. Im not afraid of difficult animals with harder temperaments. Im patient and want to be your pets new friend. This will be one of the main ways I earn money in parallel with Uber eats. If I take a pet sit job it will be prioritized over UberEats. My days and nights are pretty open. Im a single father of an almost 3 year old little girl. She loves animals too and if your fur baby is ok with kids she would love to play as well. I will follow all stipulations and requests for your pet to help keep their routine and keep them comfy and happy. I have a decent sized property. Some fenced. Most open. We are out in chattaroy so not much of the city by us. If your pets like other dogs/animals we do have 3 dogs that regularly visit the property. They all 3 are extremely friendly and playful. As I said above I will follow all regimens and requests by owner to keep your pets happy and comfortable in their routine.
“Brynn was awesome! She understands dogs and all their quirky behaviors. And she took and shared better pics of them than we have! It was so nice to get a break from puppy potty training and have some time to ourselves. We can't wait to have her back.”
About: I’ve been a pet sitter/house sitter for 3 years now and I absolutely love it! From feeding the animals, providing them daily exercise, and managing medications, I have it all! I also have a fur baby of my own who is 5 years old. I love to be able to pet sitting/house sit over the weekend. I work my primary job during the week, so I live to be able to spend some time with animals on the weekend and help other people enjoy there weekends away! I currently do not live in a fenced yard, so up only offer in home pet sitting services at the moment. But I hope to one day expand upon this.
“Leah was great! I was a little worried about our male cat because he gets stressed out and has to be on special medications (and is a little feisty). Leah was so patient with him! And was able to administer his meds with no issues. It definitely gave me a peace of mind. Our other cat seemingly warmed right up to Leah and was a sweetheart. Leah was super reliable, responsive, and sent us cute photos of our cats to ease our mind while on vacation.”
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of animals from dogs to cats, turtles and lizards. Neighbors and friends have found me to be a reliable and respectful sitter and I’ve enjoyed all my walks and park trips! I work part time and have a flexible schedule! I usually work early afternoon to five or nine and have off days during the week. I’m available to do walks or check ins the morning and then also in the afternoon/night as long as there’s still some daylight or good street light.
About: I’ve spent years around animals, A hippie horse camps as a kid, Some time on an equine rescue ranch in my early twenties nursing horses and dogs back to health, volunteering at local shelters, feeding my Mom's chickens and house sitting for countless friends. I know how to handle different animals and what they actually need. I believe that caring for animals isn't about running a tight ship; it’s about tuning in and going with the flow. My days have long been shaped by animals, I don’t believe in forcing energy on an animal. Instead, I focus on reading their cues, honoring their quirks, and offering a steady, grounded presence so they feel relaxed and safe. Because I work remotely in project coordination, my schedule is naturally fluid and presence driven. I have the flexibility to blend seamlessly into whatever rhythm your pet prefers, whether that means keeping quiet company while they snooze beside my workspace, adjusting meal timing when needed, or simply keeping communication easy and natural while you are away. I work remotely in nonprofit project coordination, so I have real flexibility to care for your pet properly, whether you need local sitting or someone reliable while you travel. I’m equally good with the laid back companion or the high maintenance pet who needs constant attention. You can trust me with your animal. I work remotely which means I show up for your pet with real attention instead of a quick check in. Whether it’s a local sit or you need someone for a road trip, I’m flexible and reliable. Your animal will actually be cared for, not just kept alive until you get back.

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.
