“Kelly is the best! She has been so helpful and supportive. She’s great at communicating with me, flexible, and always willing to help when needed. She’s attentive to my animals needs and detail orientated. Both my dog and cat both love her! I’m so glad I found a reliable person to take care of my kiddos when needed.”
“Nalani was very friendly to me and my dogs. They liked her immediately. She always showed up on time and took great care of them, giving meds to my older dog. Both dogs were in good spirits when we got home.”
About: I have extensive experience with fostering and rescue work. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, temperaments, and special needs, helping them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Working with rescue animals has taught me patience, compassion, and how to understand each dog’s unique personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to provide a calm, caring environment where they can thrive while you’re away.” Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to provide attentive, personalized care for your pup. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or simply keeping them company, I enjoy making sure every dog feels safe, happy, and loved while their family is away. When boarding in my home, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervised care throughout the day. Dogs enjoy two daily walks of at least 20 minutes each, along with time to play, explore, and relax in my securely fenced yard.
About: I have training certificates for Pillars and Harmony from Victoria Stilwell Academy for Dog Training and Behavior. I walk, behavioral train, & do dog sitting. I am working on getting my home approved, but for now only at client’s home. I will be making schedule available to first come first serve. Same day cancellation will possibly give others a chance to book same day if still needed. I am happy to care for your pet as instructed and requested to. My phone line will be open for communication throughout the time of care. With client permission and/ or request, I could also take and send pictures to you throughout the time of care.
About: I’ve been watching dogs for 5+ years and I love them. I’m able to take care of them and provide what they need. I have my own dogs that I also take care of. I’m currently working full time from 6:30-3. I’m available in the mornings from 7:30am-5:30pm. I am also available all day on Tuesdays and Wednesdays as I do not work those days. I am able to walk and feed and clean dogs. I can do what you want me to do for your dog. As for my dogs they are well taken care of and are being fed and bathe regularly.
About: I focus on giving each dog consistent attention, patience, and a calm environment so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow care instructions exactly, keep routines consistent, and communicate clearly with daily updates and photos. I’m especially attentive to each dog’s behavior and energy level, making sure they get the right balance of play, rest, and care while you’re away. Pet care fits into my routine in a very consistent and flexible way. I naturally build my schedule around reliability and attention to detail, so I’m used to checking in on responsibilities throughout the day rather than letting things pile up. On a daily basis, I can dedicate time in the mornings, afternoons, and evenings for walks, feeding, playtime, and any needed check-ins on weekends. Evenings during the week. I’m good at adjusting my schedule to match the pet’s routine, whether that means early morning walks or evening drop-ins. On a weekly level, I plan ahead so I can make sure I’m available for longer care periods like overnights or multiple visits per day. I’m also comfortable being consistent with routines like medication schedules, exercise, and keeping the pet’s environment clean and safe. Overall, I treat pet care like a real responsibility, not something I “fit in” when convenient I structure my time around it to make sure the pet stays comfortable and cared for. In a client’s home, I focus on keeping the pet’s routine as normal and stress free as possible. I follow the instructions exactly as provided feeding schedule, portion sizes, walk times, medication (if any), and any specific behavior or care notes about the pet. For daily care, I make sure the pet gets attention, exercise, and interaction, not just basic needs. That can include walks, playtime, accidents if needed, refreshing water, and making sure the home is kept tidy and secure while I’m there. I’m also careful about safety double checking doors, gates, leashes, and making sure pets don’t get into anything they shouldn’t. I pay attention to how the pet is acting so I can notice any changes in mood, appetite, or behavior and communicate that right away if something seems off. I don’t just “stop by and do tasks” I treat it like I’m temporarily responsible for the pet’s wellbeing and comfort, and I make sure they feel calm and cared for while their owner is away.
“Glenda took phenomenal care of our Maya. She stopped by before the first visit just to get to know Maya a bit… we came home a few days later to a happy, calm and relaxed Belgian Malinois. This is a big deal! She’s a natural dog whisperer, trustworthy and prompt. Thank you, Glenda!”
“Faith is the best pet sitter! I needed someone to provide drop-in care for my four cats for three weeks while I was out of state. Whoever I hired had to be completely trustworthy and reliable. Faith not only scores FIVE STARS for trustworthiness and reliability, she genuinely loves animals and knows how to care for them! She is very conscientious and hard working and approaches challenges with intelligence and a good sense of humor. I highly recommend her and will not hesitate to hire her when I need a pet sitter again. Faith did an excellent job!”

About: Caring for dogs has been a passion of mine since I was a little girl. My love for animals began with my first two dogs — a German Shepherd and a Retriever mix — who taught me the joy and responsibility that come with caring for pets. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and love their pets as if they were my own. Whether it’s keeping them active, giving them attention, or making sure they feel safe and happy, I take pride in providing dependable and affectionate care. I truly believe every dog deserves to be treated like family — and that’s exactly how I care for them. I work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! I’m available for boarding, walks, and drop-in visits on weekends and weekdays. I have a fenced yard and a friendly dog to keep your fur baby company. My dog is small and gentle with others as well.
“I cannot say enough good things about Haylee! She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs and cat were taken care of. She had great communication and always kept us updated. She really allowed us to have peace of mind while we were on vacation. Will definitely be hiring her again!”
“I was very grateful to have Angelina come out and take care of our new adopted cat Aria. She was accommodating, conscientious, patient and is a great communicator. She offered to housesit as well, which was a huge relief. I will definitely request her services again.”
About: I’ve had hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to gentle seniors who need a little extra patience. I’m reliable, detail-oriented, and I make it a priority to follow each pet parent’s instructions closely, so your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I go by routine Monday through Friday and am looking to fill all open hours with trustworthy care for your loved ones while you’re away even on weekends when openings are available. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or in yours, I create a calm, secure environment where they feel at ease. I carefully follow your pet’s routine — from feeding and walks to medications and bedtime rituals — so they feel consistency and immediate care even when you’re away.

It is also possible during the weekends and holidays if necessary It is important to exercise pets daily with a walk so they can stay happy and avoid stress.

About: I've worked with special needs animals all my life from tri-pawds, deaf, and blind animals to those with dietary restrictions, behavioral issues, anxiety, and sensitivity to stimuli. Currently I am also employed by a farm that has working breads for dogs and barn cats. I work with a changing and flexible schedule and three days off per week, leaving me plenty of time for checking in on your furry friend. My animals have special dietary needs along with special care for allergies and sensitive skin. They receive joint supplements, specially vetted foods, special bathing requirements, and seasonal medications. I'm well versed at the care special needs animals require because of this.
About: I’ve taken care of my dog for 13 years which helped me gain experience. My neighbors have also allowed me to babysit, walk, and feed their pets. I am currently playing for a local soccer team that allows me to have a flexible schedule. I am free most hours during the week and on the weekends. When visiting a pet at a clients home I make sure to let the dog get used to me first beforehand. If the yard is fenced, I would love to play outside with them. I would also give lots of pets and cuddles if they enjoy it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Venola
KATRINA was OUTSTANDING!! We were in Hawaii for 9 days and she cared for our precious little poodle. She always communicated with us every day about how she was doing and ALWAYS sent us pics and videos.. My husband and I were very grateful to have found her and I HIGHLY recommend her 100% !!! she really is SO CARING AND AMAZING… if you’re looking for someone to alleviate your worries while you’re out of town, KATRINA is the ONE!!! We appreciate her so much!!! Thank you for EVERYTHING!!
Paesha took great care of Penny while I was away in Curaçao. She made sure her water fountain stayed filled, pee pads were changed as needed, and gave her plenty of affection and attention. I especially appreciated the updates and the care she took checking for mushrooms in the yard since Penny is curious about everything. It really helped ease my travel anxiety knowing Penny was in good hands. I’d absolutely book with her again.

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.
