“Autumn is lovely and did a great job! She was punctual, the dogs were very comfortable with her, and she made sure they got plenty of time on their walks! Will definitely book with her again”
About: Mr. Chips was my first four legged client, I was 10 years old and he was an energetic cocker spaniel. It was my job to walk Mr. Chips every day after school and then safely return him home. I loved him and he loved me. Since then I have pet sat all over the country as well over seas! I have experience with various types of animals; cats, dogs, birds, reptiles, rodents and fish. I had the joy of having my very own hobby farm, where I raised cows, goats, sheep, ducks, turkeys and chickens! My experience includes; feeding, bathing, administering medications and supplements, helping during birth, and other various medical situations. I have experience caring for show dogs. If you need someone to not only care for your pets but also your home/property, I can do this. I can water your plants, flush toilets, monitor the temperature and humidity of your home. Bring in your mail and deliveries. Turn lights off and on. I can also be available to take your pet to the groomer or vet as needed. My availability is completely open. I am flexible for long term or short term schedules. What ever works best for my clients, I am here to make your life less complicated! I have a lovely little home in a safe and quiet neighborhood. I am within walking distance to the beach which is perfect for long walks! My home has a fenced backyard where your dog can run and have fun. I will keep your dog on a leash when ever we are outside of my property. If you have cats there is plenty of room for them to hide and find solitude if need be, as well plenty of windows for them to soak up the sun! Other critters can be placed in warm open areas or away in quite darker spaces. There is a space for any type of animal! Or I can come to your home! I am a full-time stay at home mom with a 13-year-old son who is homeschooled. So we will be home to interact with your pet at all times. Your pet never has to worry about being alone in a strange new environment. We both are compassionate and empathetic people with a love of all animals! My home has a fenced in yard, we are home all day and night, so your pet will have our undivided attention. Can provide as many walks as needed, and there is a doggie door that can be used or completely shut off depending on your pets needs. Safety and love are our top priorities!
“Holly was super helpful and communicative. She was even able to do an emergency visit when an automatic feeder malfunctioned. My cat was happy and healthy in all the pics and videos.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wakonda Beach
Melanie was awesome. She had to show up twice a day for 7 days to take care of my seven birds. I had complete peace of mind with everything! I love how she checked in every time and then in between if she had any questions or concerns. Made my vacation stress-free! I'm so grateful to Rover but especially to Melanie for all her hard work, patience and dedication!!

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.
