“This is the second booking that I’ve had with Kari and will continue to book if she’s available. She’s fantastic, has great communication and is proactive. I refer to her as Aunt Kari to the cats. ♥️”
“Jeanette was absolutely wonderful! She was very easy to communicate with and went well beyond than just taking care of our pets. This was my fist time hiring a pet sitter and I definitely made the right choice trusting Jeanette with my home and pets. I will definitely hire her again when away on vacation. Highly satisfied and highly recommend!”
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
“Sydney was great with our cat, he was happy and well cared for while we were away. Also good communication during visits so we knew he was doing well. Happy to recommend her to anyone!”
“Shelby tool care of our two cats while we were gone on vacation and she did a great job. She sent updates for everyday she checked in with our cats and she's very responsive and polite. Can't recommend her enough.”
“Nicole was fantastic!! My cat adored her and she made sure to keep him fed and play with him 🥹 She was very communicative and kept in touch with me the entire time! She was also very respectful of the apt and turned on our faucets during a freeze warning. I could not recommend her more, she is amazing!!”
“JaNiya did an awesome job checking in on my Diesel! She was always on time and communicated very well! I loved the pictures and video she sent me to reassure my Diesel was in good hands! I will definitely use JaNiya again! Thx JaNiya! Great job!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals of all kinds for over a decade. I have cared for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, bearded dragons, parrots, bunnies, and fish. I love animals and have a very open schedule, so I am looking to spend my time doing something i love- caring for animals! I have cared for animals of all personalities and types, and have experience handling medications and fixing invisible fences as well! Im currently a fresh grad and job searching so I can very flexible. I want to keep working while i search for my next move in life! I live in an apartment downtown, so I do not have a yard. That being said, it is better for me to house-sit than board, but I am open to boarding as i live near several parks like Marion square!
About: I have a dog and a cat. I foster animals from McKamey Animal Shelter. I have worked as a farm hand on a horse farm in Colorado and volunteered on farms in England. I just finished eight months of travel in Europe being an Au Pair, and working on farms. I am starting a part-time job soon, but I would still love to continue pet sitting. My whole focas is to make your pet feel loved and cared for while you are gone. You can trust your home and pet with me.
“Arianna went above and beyond to make sure our cat was taken care of-even after realizing our home was out of her usual radius of service. She was very communicative and responsive. 10/10 would recommend. :)”
About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life. I’ve also been trained at Mckamey and know how to lovingly care for your fur baby! I’m currently working some from home but have a lot of free time :) I can come with not much notice and will love cuddle your fur friend or keep them entertained if they don’t like to be snuggled! You can trust me in or outside of your home! Your pet will be my first priority and I’m happy yo do walks and frequently take outside
“Rocio was a fantastic cat sitter! She was incredibly thorough, responsive, and professional. I will definitely book with her again! She went above and beyond. My cats liked her a lot.”
About: I don't know that I have any special skills to offer as I'm just starting out as a professional pet sitter, but I've spent my life caring for our family pets. From rescues to pure breds, from bottle feeding babies to slow moving incontinent old seniors, we've loved too many cats or dogs for me to count. We've also had cockatiels, a parrot, a rat, hamsters, (also bred them,) a turtle, chickens and ducks, tropical and salt water fish. Most importantly, I am peaceful, mellow and can earn your pets trust and I can follow your directions. I work on Signal Mountain and I live in Pikeville. I'm a school bus driver so that leaves me 5 hours of free time to visit with your pets. I can do over-nights with preplanning and acceptable accommodation, if we can make it fit with my work schedule. I like to get the work done first and then sit and rest and spend time with pets but of course I will first build trust with your pets before I barge in their home. I have some mobility challenges so long walks or hard pulls on a leash are best suited for another sitter but if you have a baby who just wants to be close, be held, not be alone, they will love me. Pets have a way of gravitating to my side or lap. Something about my demeanor tells them I am safe.
“Kurstyn has been amazing! She always shows up right on time and keeps me updated throughout the visit, which I really appreciate. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing Zoe is in good hands.”
“Very good dog sitter. Did really good with our big dogs. Very communicative and really cares about them. Very trust worthy. We did not have to worry about her during our time away from home.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for many years for family & friends. I love dogs and know they are more than a pet they are family with the biggest hearts and unconditional love. I enjoy spending time with dogs and taking care of their needs. I currently have a traditional day job. I am available to walk/sit for dogs on the weekends. I can pet sit during the week if your dog is crate trained. I have a little dog, Prince, who can be sassy but is a big mama’s boy. I live on several acres with lots of woods to run around in. The yard is not fenced.
About: I love to hang out with animals and be of use! I know what it’s like to be stressed about leaving your fur babies and would love to grant some people more peace of mind! I am typically available on weekends and am happy to accommodate on weekdays with proper notice! I have two dogs and a cat and have plenty of experience with animal care! I have two big dogs and a little cat and we have tons of fun playing in the yard! We try to spoil them as much as we can and they always have good treats!
About: I have been around dogs all my life. All of the dogs and cats that my family and I had/have were found as strays and made part of the family. I would always help my parents take care of my neighbor’s dogs when they are away on vacation. This past fall, I dog sat and dog walked for a family before, during, and after they went on a cruise. I am good with young and old dogs, all sizes!! I grew up loving animals and have been fortunate enough to have cared for many different animals. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, fish, guinea pig, squirrels, and a few birds. In the fall of 2025, I fostered a bunny for 2 weeks and took it to adoption events. If I have the funds, I would have definitely kept it. 😂 I currently have 2 green anoles that I care for and love. Hi! I am Ami Masler. I’m from Memphis, TN and currently finishing up my undergraduate at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I am majoring in Exercise and Health Science and hope to become an athletic trainer. Fun fact: I love playing volleyball. Like the information described under the “Pet Care Experience” prompt, I grew up with a variety of pets. Think of it like having an out-of-country farm if you will. I love being around animals, so obviously zoos and aquariums are my favorite places to visit apart from my parents’ house. Classes start up late August, so all dates up until then are open until booked. Once college classes start up again, my schedule will mostly stay the same, open. During the semester, I will have a tutoring job, but it shouldn’t have any effect on scheduling or anything like that. If there is a conflict, tutoring sessions can be moved. I always meet clients before I start any service to make sure that I am compatible with the cat or dog. After that, I make sure to follow what the client needs and wants for their pets. I give lots of attention when I’m not at work and make sure that they get all that they need.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walden
This is the first time we used Katie to watch our cat, and she did great! Our cat is still adjusting to her new home, but Katie made her feel at ease in our absence and offered plenty of comfort towards our cat. Katie came twice a day to feed the cat and tidy up, and she did more than expected! Highly recommend! A+
Emma did an amazing job caring for our dog, Fable, while we were away. She followed every instruction, sent updates after each visit, and included lots of photos so we always knew how Fable was doing. We came home to a very happy girl, and we’d happily book with Emma again and recommend her to others!
Sarah took such great care of our dogs and cats while we were out of town! She clearly took her time and was very thorough in ensuring that each pet was cared for and happy. The pictures she sent were so reassuring and showed us just how comfortable everyone was with her. We will absolutely be asking Sarah for help with pet-sitting whenever we need it in the future! Thank you!
I asked Sara to help me socialize my adopted, shelter dog. So, instead of a typical drop in, I was present for the visit. Sara was very patient and friendly with my dog and she knew exactly how to interact with her (get down low, avoid eye contact, continously give her treats, and let my dog approach her while telling her what a good girl she is). I was so relieved that I didnt have to explain all of that to her. My dog is so loving and affectionate but is super slow to trust people, but she was taking treats out of Sara's hand immediately. I have asked her to come back, so my dog can get to know the same person before introducing her to more people. I am confident that her and my dog will become great friends.

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.
