“Alexis did a great job taking care of Bear, I received photos and feedback from every visit and she cleaned up any debris around his area. I returned to a clean environment, it was kept as if I had been home and not left. Bear really enjoyed her visits, she cared for him as though he was her personal pet. If she is available, I would book her again for house visits for my Bear.”
“Danielle was a really big help. I reached out to her last second and she was available for me right away. She was extremely communicative and very flexible with my schedule. It was clear that the dogs were always excited to be around her highly recommend using her for all your dog walking and sitting needs”
“She is super sweet and keeps me updated with my puppy. She even tells me how my cats are doing! She is very flexible and helps me last minute with my crazy schedule.”
“Such a sweet person to take care of my fur babies while I was gone. She was very communicative on everything and our dogs were well taken care of. Highly recommend her!”
“Mia was AMAZING!!! I had a kitty with anxiety hiding and she was able to give him his medication and get him to relax. She went the extra mile to sit on the floor and watch him eat it. She also was concerned and that made me very happy. Mia is a wonderful, caring person and we will b using her every time I need a pet sitter.”
“Jordan is the BEST doggo sitter! We exchanged information via email, and she made (is still making) it happen for our sweet girl who would otherwise have a very long day in her crate. Jordan is quick to respond, takes her care-giving seriously, and treats our space with respect. I'd say everyone should hire her, but if they did, I would have to elbow our way back into her schedule.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life! I’ve cared for multiple family and friends dogs and will make sure your dog is treated like family! I administer medications, take them on walks, feed them their meals at the appropriate time and make sure they get enough exercise! I always make sure my schedule can accommodate the pets schedule so they are properly cared for. I work 4 hours during weekdays and 6 hours during weekends. I have a very flexible schedule so I am able to care for your pets needs appropriately. I will go outside with your dog every potty break to ensure they are safe. On walks, I always make sure I have a dog whistle on me to make sure myself and the dogs are safe. I also enjoy giving treats and cuddles to make sure they feel loved!
“Courtney took care of our dog this weekend and wow! She was so communicative and took care of our dog so well 😊 We will absolutely be using her every time we need someone to watch our dog!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life ever since I was a little girl, and I've been caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. I'm currently the proud "mother" of two guinea pigs! I genuinely love taking dogs on walks, feeding them, and taking the time to learn and adapt to their unique personalities. Noisy pups? No problem—barking doesn't bother me at all. I am also fully comfortable administering medications if your pet needs extra medical care, and I'm happy to transport dogs in my car for walks or adventures. I would love to meet you and your furry friend! I work Monday–Thursday from 8 AM–5 PM and Friday from 8 AM–12:30 PM. I have an hour lunch break during the week that I’d be happy to spend with your pet! My evenings and weekends are also completely free, so I have plenty of time to give your pets attention, play with them, or just hang out with them while you’re away. I live in a quiet military community with plenty of friendly neighbors and a calm environment. I’m also in a spacious apartment that’s over 1,400 sq. ft., so there’s plenty of room for your pet to get comfortable and move around. If your pet stays at my home, they’ll always be taken outside on a leash, and there’s plenty of room for them to walk around and get some energy out. I also love walking at the lake, so I’d be more than happy to bring your dog along for a walk!
“I had used Abbie once before and for this second visit, my two girls remembered her and got the zoomies asap due to excitement seeing her. I prefer stay at home visits for my dogs and have the upmost trust in her/she is very timely with her check ins.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years now and have 4 dogs of my own!

Available whenever and wherever I have a fenced in yard, 4 friendly dogs and a lot of toys and treats to spoil your loved ones! I treat every animal that comes into my home just like they’re my own 🤍
About: I've always had an animal, whether it be a dog, or a cat or even a gerbil. I get that their family, and I love them all. Just moved to the area, my husband is working full time and I’m doing my masters online. I’m available any time! I have a 4 yr old Persian cream puff cat named Yeti who loves everyone, human and not! I love all animals! I have cared for Yorkies to Great Danes and every size in between. I understand the hard work it takes to make pets feel comfortable. Whatever accommodations need to be made in your home to ensure your pets feel safe & comfortable, I am happy to abide by.
About: I’ve cared for my own, family and friends pets of all kinds since I was just a kid! I volunteer at an animal shelter in my spare time. I’m available to pet sit all days of the week. I understand life can happen on the fly so short notice booking is okay with me! My focus is to respect and care for your pet and home as you would! Any special need or request is top priority and I’m open to any questions you have.
About: With over five years of professional experience working in dog training, boarding, and grooming facilities, I have developed a strong understanding of canine care and behavior. I have also volunteered extensively with animal shelters, where I gained valuable experience working with dogs and cats from a wide variety of backgrounds and personalities. I truly enjoy getting to know each animal and learning their unique personality, routines, and preferences. I believe that by providing personalized care I can help your pets feel comfortable, happy, and secure while you’re away. Throughout my life, I have cared for and pet sat a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, livestock, birds, and reptiles. I am comfortable caring for animals with different needs and personalities, and I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, compassion, and attention I would give my own. I would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and provide them with reliable, loving care! As a stay at home dog mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to caring for your pets. My husband is currently stationed at Dyess, so we’re still fairly new to the area and I’m excited to get to know the community and meet some new furry friends along the way! I’m currently taking online classes, which gives me the flexibility to plan my days around pet sitting visits, walks, playtime, and whatever care your pets need. Since I’m home most of the day, I’m able to give your pets plenty of companionship, attention, and care while you’re away. I truly enjoy spending time with animals and would love the opportunity to make them feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. Since we already have two dogs of our own, we are currently at our home’s pet limit and unfortunately aren’t able to accommodate overnight stays for additional pets. I would be more than happy to provide drop in visits and care for your pets in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. I’m happy to stop by for feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, medication, or simply some extra companionship and attention while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for in their own environment.
About: Hello! My name is Jira. I do my best to give pets the best care and experience I can provide. I value safety, enrichment, exercise and most of all, fun! I employ what I describe as the perfect balance of a dog being in a home setting it's used to while also having the security on the individual dog level of a kennel boarding facility. I have been with pets all throught our lives. I can administer oral medications if it’s needed and will be willing to give baths if asked. I would love to walk your fur baby and shower them with love. I treat the clients pet like they are my own. I am a Registered Nurse, i work 3 night shifts per week but will be at home whenever I’m not working. I will make sure that your fur babies will be well taken care. I am living in an apartment with a decent backyard. I love taking our pet for a walk during mornings and evenings for potty and playtime. I will make sure that your pets will have enough water and food for the rest of their stay. I have lots of dog beds and a crate that your pet can crash in whenever they want.
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was nine years old! I have pretty good understanding of how to best care for dogs and cats from small to big. I’ve also always been the “can you wash the dogs” person in my family, so if you need your dog to get a wash when I go see them, I can definitely do that too! Since I just graduated from college, I do have a more open day time schedule during the week, and my weekends have opened up a lot more. There will absolutely be no trouble with taking care of your doggos and cats week days from 11am-4pm and weekends from 12-5pm! At my house I do have a fenced in backyard, and a big neighborhood to walk the dogs through so they get thorough walk time! I also can crate your dog before I leave so they don’t run wild in the house, if you needed that!
About: Ive taken care of dogs and cats my entire life. I adore my pets and any dog/cat I meet. I love taking my dog on a walk and making sure she’s bathed frequently. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I prioritize consistency with feeding, bathroom breaks, and walks. I understand how important routine is for animals, so I make sure their needs are met on time every day. I also plan ahead and arrive early to ensure I have enough time to get them settled, give them attention, and stick to their regular schedule without rushing. Whether in my own home or a client’s, I care for pets by following a consistent routine to each animal’s specific needs. This includes feeding them on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, and providing regular bathroom breaks.

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.
