“Amanda did a wonderful job taking care of my kitties while I was out of town. She was prompt, followed all instructions for feeding, care and play and sent the best pictures! Communication was excellent as well. I will definitely be using Amanda again!”

“Being the 1st time in 12 years I had to find someone to care for our 12 yr old who is diabetic and blind. Finding Graham was a blessing. I was gone 5 days and received pictures and updates a couple of times daily. I could not have asked for any better, thank you Graham for what you do…”


About: I grew up around dogs and have always loved animals. When I came to college, I adopted a cat and later rescued another kitten I found in a car, so now I have two kitties of my own! I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs and understand how important pets are to their families. I’m currently very flexible and have plenty of time to give your pets attention, playtime, and care throughout the day. I’m available most weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and overnight care. I’m happy to work with your pet’s normal routine to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I pay close attention to routines, feeding schedules, potty breaks, and any special instructions. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they get lots of love, attention, and patience.

About: With 10 years working in the pet industry from trusted stores like PetSmart and grooming salons, I have gained the knowledge to understanding animal behavior, recognize stress, perform grooming services. I have an experience with all types of dog breeds, reptiles, fish, small animals, and cats. I am dependable, detailed orientated, passionate about animals. I am able to administer medicine, confident with socializing dogs with other dogs and unfamiliar people, and always reliable in communicating with pet parents and you can depend on me to be there on time every time. Currently I am a stay at home mom and I have an open schedule Monday through Sunday. I can offer drop-in visits up to four times a day for one hour starting at 9am-10pm. Whatever your pet needs, I am able to accommodate to a schedule that works for you. For all services, I am observant and make sure to communicate about subtle behaviors and changes. I can accommodate one dog in my home for boarding and doggy daycare. I do not have a fenced yard can offer a leash walk around the neighborhood and leash free yard play. I am strict on sticking to feeding, walking, and potty schedules. I believe in healthy pets make healthy people and will wash bowls, clean up pet waste, offer brush outs, mentally stimulate your baby with games, pet design shows, go over personalized trainings, and support socializing with dog parks, my own critters, and children. Building trust with not only your fur or scaly baby starts with building your trust. I will take pictures and videos and give updates on mood and appetite.
“Mason went above and beyond last night to take care of THREE dogs! A wreck in our area made the normal route not passable. Mason found another way to get to our home. She always takes the best care of our fur babies❤️”


About: I’ve been trusted to feed, walk, play with, and love on pets all my life! I grew up in a house with medium-large dogs (labs, Australian Sheppards, border collies), and got my own small dog 10 years ago. I also adopted multiple cats 2 years ago, and I can handle some reptiles, as I had a pet turtle for over 10 years. I’m an animal lover that will treat your fur baby as if it’s my own! I’m currently working on research this summer as I finish my doctoral degree, so I have a very flexible schedule for walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting stays! I will care for your pets as if they are my own while respecting your house rules. I can easily crate animals as needed, monitor their furniture use, make sure I abide by their potty schedule, refresh their water bowls regularly, etc.

About: Ive been around animals my whole life and have had and cared for all types of dogs and cats. I’ve helped out friends, family, and neighbors with everything from walks and feeding to overnight stays. I’m good with puppies, high-energy dogs, and older pets that need a little extra care. I’m super reliable and will make sure your pet feels comfortable and taken care of while you’re gone. I’m currently doing online school and working at the country club once or twice a week for a few hours so I’m home the majority of the day and have a super flexible schedule. My boyfriend who I live with is also always in and out regardless of his schedule so one of us is pretty much always home! I have two supper friendly and well trained dogs I consider my children. I crate trained my dogs as puppies but don’t use them anymore and let them on the couch and sleep in the bed, but would follow whatever rules you have for your pets in your home.
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and patience I have for every dog. I’m attentive to details like medication schedules, potty training consistency, and providing calm companionship for older pets who need extra reassurance and care. Im currently a student at The University of Mississippi and have a pretty lenient schedule. I do not work any other job so I am mainly free other than when I am in class. My home offers plenty of space for your fur babies to run around, I have dog food, treats, and toys in my house if needed. I also have a spacious yard for your puppy to run around in and play. I can promise you that your dog will feel right at home in mine!
About: Hey yall, my name is Livy Ray and I have been a dog lover since ‘06. I am available 24/7 and can guarantee perfect pet service! Feel reach to reach out for letters or reference! I am a college student home for my summer break. I currently do not have another job, so I am available 7 days a week. I am able to walk and size or age dogs, as well as care for them. I also am very skilled in taming dogs of all varieties.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care, knowledge, and attention I bring to every pet. I’ve been pet sitting consistently since 2018 and have built lasting relationships with many repeat clients who trust me with their pets year after year. I have experience administering medications, working extensively with senior pets, and providing individualized care based on each animal’s unique needs and personality. I also have some experience reinforcing training and maintaining consistency with established commands and routines. My background includes a degree in Biological Sciences, where I studied subjects such as animal behavior and physiology. This education, combined with years of hands-on experience, has made me highly observant and attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and overall well-being. Whether your pet needs extra patience, specialized care, plenty of exercise, or simply lots of affection, I prioritize their health, comfort, and happiness while treating them like a member of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. During the week, I work from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM and have a lunch break that allows me to come home for midday potty breaks, walks, and check-ins. I typically walk in the mornings before work, return home at lunch, and then spend additional time walking, playing, and relaxing with pets after work. On weekends, my schedule is even more flexible. Whether I’m spending time around the house, visiting a local park, or enjoying time around town, I love having dogs join me when appropriate. I intentionally plan my weekends around the pets in my care, and activities are always tailored to each animal’s age, energy level, personality, and needs. Whether your pet prefers long walks, playtime, quiet companionship, or extra support as a senior, they’ll receive plenty of attention, affection, and individualized care. When caring for pets in their own home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and any other care preferences provided by the owner. I understand that pets are often most comfortable in their familiar environment, so I focus on providing consistent care, companionship, and attention while you’re away. I am highly observant and attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, or overall well-being, and I communicate regularly with owners through updates and photos. Whether your pet needs a brisk walk, playtime, cuddles on the couch, medication administration, or extra patience as a senior pet, I strive to make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you return home.
About: I’ve had a lifelong love of animals, and over the years I’ve gained hands-on experience in many areas of pet care. I’ve house sat, walked dogs of all sizes, and done regular check-ins for meal times and pee breaks. When I’m home, I’m often trusted to care for my mom’s colleagues’ pets—many of whom are doctors with busy schedules—which has taught me to be responsible, reliable, and flexible. Now that I’m away at school, I’m excited to bring that same level of care to your pets. What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with cats, my comfort with dogs, and my genuine desire to make every pet feel safe, happy, and loved as if they were my own. I’m a student, so whenever I’m not in class, I’m home and available to care for pets. That means I have plenty of time throughout the day for walks, check-ins, playtime, and cuddles. My flexible schedule makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my daily routine and give your pets the attention they deserve. In my townhome, pets have access to a safe, comfortable space with lots of attention and love. My complex has fenced-in play areas perfect for letting dogs run and play, as well as nice trails nearby for daily walks and exercise. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routines closely—whether that’s meal times, walks, play, or just giving them company—so they feel secure and cared for in their own environment.

About: I have grown up with and around animals my whole entire life. I have pet sat since I was 16 and I have loved it. I am currently a student at Ole Miss and have classes for about 3 hours a day. I also babysit around 3 hours a day but apart from that I am very flexible I currently have no pets, so if your pet has issues with other animals it will be no problem!

Hannah was wonderful with my cats and gave me real peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable, thoughtful, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I really appreciated the updates and her attention to detail. I would absolutely recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a kind and trustworthy sitter.

I hesitate to review Mason because I’m worried she will become so popular that I won’t be able to book her in the future. She is a great communicator and very dependable. I know that my cats will be just as loved and cared for when she visits as if I were home to do so myself! Mason also takes the best pictures (like straight up glamour shots) to send - clearly my cats love her too. I can’t say enough good things about her.

Stephanie was genuinely attentive and adaptable to my needs. She responded well to my cat’s unique personality, and it was heartwarming to see my usually shy male cat begin to open up to her so quickly—she treated her with real love and kindness. I am truly grateful!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a University stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
