About: I’ve grown up caring for both dogs and cats and have years of experience with animals. I currently have cats of my own and understand how important it is to keep pets happy, safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m responsible, patient, and love giving pets plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I’m flexible and open to requests that fit within my schedule! My main focus is Rover and providing the best care possible for your pets. I’m happy to work with your needs and find a schedule that works well for both you and your pets. I’m not able to have dogs stay in my home because I have cats. I prefer to care for dogs in their own home, where they can stay comfortable and in their familiar environment. If your dog just needs a walk, some exercise, or time outside, I’d also be happy to take them to a local park or on a hike! 🐶🐾💕
“Abigail was wonderful! She came to our house twice a day to take care of our dogs. We have a Labradoodle and a Lab. They are both high energy big dogs. She took them for walks every morning and spent pool time with them in the evening. They loved her and we are so grateful that she was able to help us out! This was our first time trying Rover and we highly recommend Abi!”
About: I have cared for dogs for many years. I can walk, feed, and play with dogs of different sizes and personalities. I will treat your pet like my own and make sure they feel safe and loved. It's a large part of my daily routine. I have three dogs, all different breeds, which means I take care of them differently because of their different personalities. I have a part-time job; however I work a maximum of 6 hours and I am free before and after work. Right now, I don't offer in-home care at my residence; however, when caring for a client's pet, their safety is my priority. I make sure fences and doors are secure and pay close attention to any illnesses or special needs.
About: I’ve had many pets over the years, and have experience with both dogs and cats. I enjoy caring for and interacting with animals of all kinds. We are available during weekdays before and after the school day, and most weekends as needed. We are looking to build pet sitting and friendships with animals within our neighborhood. We are happy to travel to pets in your home to care for them while you are in need. We love our community and want to work within our neighborhood.
“Patty was very good at communicating and responds very fast! She took very good care of my kitten! This was the first time I was leaving him and she made me feel very confident that he was taken care of!”
“Vanessa was excellent and my doggies loved her!! She was extremely communicative and reliable, she took care of all my pets’ needs, and she rolled with some unforeseen challenges during the visit very graciously. She sent so many cute photos! I would highly recommend her, and I do plan to book again.”
“Susie was great. She did drop-ins for my dog, Peanut, and always made sure to send pictures and video updates, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. She also followed all the instructions I gave her for Peanut. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need a sitter for Peanut.”
About: I’ve loved dogs my whole life. I have 19 years experience caring for dogs including higher needs dogs. I am happy to spend the time to provide any special needs your sweet baby has. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to provide excellent care for your fur babies. I am free most weekends and some holidays. I have a fenced in yard a clean home and fur babies to keep your company. If they don’t fancy fur friends we can hang out somewhere my animals don’t have access to such as the guest bedroom.
About: I have been a dog mom most of my life. More recently I’ve worked with a rescue and have experience fostering dogs . All 3 of my dogs are rescues and they are all very different so I’ve learned that they all their own individualized plan I currently work full time so I am available most weekends for boarding. Sometimes I’m off over the summer so my availability opens up then I have a really big fenced yard and a cozy pet friendly home. I have 3 small dogs who I love very much. My heeler mix is a bit fear aggressive towards new people and large dogs but he is obedient and I am working on socializing him more and I know exactly to manage. I’ve fostered a variety of dogs the last year and he just needs time to warm up to new dogs and people. My other 2 are terrier mixes and have been socialized since they were pups.
“Five stars!! Rebecca was just fabulous ? She gave the most excellent care to my kitty while I was out of town and I couldn’t be more appreciative of her help. She shared lots of cute photos during her check ins and I was so happy to know my little fuzzball was in such good hands. Thank you, Rebecca!”
About: Ive been watching dogs for several years now. I enjoy helping others and making things convenient when it comes to watching their furry loved ones. It feels like the least someone can do. I do work full time, 3 days a week 12 hrs shifts in a hospital so I do have several days off. If you work with me, I'll work with you (: I have experience with numerous breeds of dogs. Big dogs, smaller dogs, active puppies. Teach me their routine and any good-to-know tricks and they'll have my best interest.
“Arianna was a great communicator and did an amazing job with our two cats! She shared not only photos but videos with us and kept us up to date with how they were doing. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”

Susie was great. She did drop-ins for my dog, Peanut, and always made sure to send pictures and video updates, so I didn’t have to worry about anything. She also followed all the instructions I gave her for Peanut. I will definitely be reaching out to her again the next time I need a sitter for Peanut.
This was my first time using a care giver from Rover, and I couldn't have been more pleased! Brittany did a fantastic job of caring for Gracie, giving me constant updates on Gracie's day, and photos of the activities that she and Brittany participated in. I would recommend Brittany to anyone needing pet care services. Especially if it's your first time leaving your pet's care to someone outside of your family.
Abigail was wonderful! She came to our house twice a day to take care of our dogs. We have a Labradoodle and a Lab. They are both high energy big dogs. She took them for walks every morning and spent pool time with them in the evening. They loved her and we are so grateful that she was able to help us out! This was our first time trying Rover and we highly recommend Abi!
Kailyn did a great job watching our cat while we were away! She was very responsive, sent us pictures and updates during each visit, and took care of everything exactly as we asked. We also really appreciated that she left our house clean and tidy. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cat was in good hands, and we would definitely book with her again!
Patty was amazing! I reached out to her just over a week before my trip and she was very quick to respond. We scheduled an in-person meet and greet and she was on board to take care of my cat. During the 11 days of my booking, Patty was either always on time or early, sent me tons of pictures of my cat, changed his litter, and made sure the food/water levels weren’t running too low. Very responsive if I had any questions/concerns. I’ve used other cat sitters before but my cat has never warmed up to anyone as easily as he did with Patty. I will be referring Patty to all my friends/family/neighbours/colleagues who need a reliable and dependable cat sitter and will personally only be rebooking with Patty in the future.
This was our third time booking with Vanessa, and we couldn't be happier. Our cat absolutely adores her, and seeing how well she treats our 'little man' gives us so much peace of mind while we're away. She consistently goes above and beyond to ensure everything is handled, and her 100% professional approach makes the whole process seamless. We trust her implicitly with our little dude!
Diana was so great with my senior husky. I had a short notice request to drop in and check on my husky while I was going to out for the day. It was a great comfort knowing Cali was in caring and experienced hands. Diana also sent great updates and I’d highly recommend her to care for anyone’s fur babies.

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.

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 use the 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.
