“Kayla on short notice agreed to look after my 2 large girls after a short meet & greet. She wanted to genuinely make sure her care was good fit. Prior to watching the dogs she asked a lot of good questions which pointed to her experience and thoughtfulness. Both of my girls enjoyed time with her and Kayla delivered as promised. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a "dog lover" looking after their babies!”
About: I've been around animals big and small my whole life and have always had a soft spot for them! I've dog-sat for friends and family and have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages. I've also bred dogs, so I'm comfortable with the extra time, patience, and attention that young animals need. I work in healthcare and love to give back to people and their furry friends! I currently live in an apartment where I'm not able to have pets of my own, so Rover gives me the perfect excuse to spend time with animals while giving them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I'd love to treat your pets like my own while you're away! I currently work until 3:30 in the afternoon leaving plenty of time in the evenings to care for your pets! I am also available weekends! I am willing to work around my schedule to make the most of my time when caring for your pets! I have house, animal, and baby sat for many families in their homes. I will respect your animals and your home with the same care as my own. I will abide by any request to make the most of my visits. I am easy going, and will work with you to make this the best experience possible!
“Gracie could not possibly have done a better job. She went above and beyond for our pets and our home while we were on vacation for a week. She's kind, responsible, has great communication skills, manners and most importantly, she's wonderful with our beloved pets. We will be booking her again.”
About: I myself do not have a pet yet, because of my living situation (my landlord does not allow pets) but I have loved animals my entire life and have years of experience caring for pets of all kinds. From, dogs, cats, bunnies, chickens, to even turtles. I love them all. Starting from when I was younger, my neighbor would often ask me to wash and look after her dog named "bear". So I learned early on how much I enjoy caring for animals. Recently a friend of a friend trusted me to watch their sweet, 8 month old white lab overnight, we had so much fun, and I made sure she felt right at home with plenty of playtime, walks, and snuggles! I also regularly stop by to care for my boyfriends Great Danes, Ellie and Molly whenever I have the chance! Whether it's daily walks, drop ins, or overnight stays, I'm here to make sure your pets are happy, comfortable, and safe. I can't wait to meet your furry friends and give them the same care and attention id want for my own! :) I'm a bookstore manager with a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care. I work Tuesdays through Thursdays from 10AM to 5PM, and Fridays and Saturdays from 2PM to 6PM. My Mondays are mostly free, though I do have a commitment after 6PM. Sundays are always booked, but I have lots of availability during mornings and evenings the rest of the week. With my afternoons free on most weekdays and mornings free on weekends, I can provide regular walks, drop ins, and overnight care! When caring for pets in their own homes, I make it my priority to keep them comfortable, safe, and secure in the environment they know best. I respect each pets routines and unique needs, making sure they feel at ease when you're away. I follow any specific instructions you provide, whether its feeding schedules, preferred walking routes, or favorite toys, so your pet stays as close to their normal routine as possible! I take pet and house safety seriously, and always keep an eye on things, like door locks, gates, and anything your pet may get into. With my experience and attention to detail, I'm committed to earning your trust and ensuring you =r pets are happy, safe, and well cared for!
About: I have had dogs my whole life. I frequently watch dogs for family, friends and co workers. Any dog I meet instantly becomes an extended part of my family and is treated with love, care and respect. Safety of the animal is a priority for me above all. I am currently in the military and work as a healthcare provider. I have 2 hour lunches between 11-1pm and leave fro work at approximately 7 am returning at 5 pm. I can be flexible on some of those hours as needed. I have a fenced patio with a potty area. There is also a walkway through the housing area that has grass available. Plenty of toys. There are cameras in the house and outside as well as a safety gate in front of the back gate to ensure no accidental escapes! Dogs are always monitored. If I am not home my personal pets are placed in my bedroom and any visitors get free reign of the living room. I have a kennel should a dog require kenneling when I am not home or if they kennel at night. Food times are 7 am and 5 pm. I do not do free feeding due to my dog having allergies. Water bowl is checked daily. Plenty of toys for everyone!
About: I have been raising and caring for dogs for as long as I can remember. From birthing puppies to senior dog care. Who doesn’t love a furry friend! I am a teacher who is off for summer break and would love to fill my summer free time helping your special furry family members! I am currently living in an apartment living so I understand the need for dog walks. I will visit and provide lots of love and attention.
“Chuck was wonderful! It was our first time using a dog walker since we got our puppy. Chuck volunteered to come and meet our dog prior to his first drop-in free of charge which was wonderful for the dog and his parents! :) We will be using him again in the future 100%!”
“Loralei did drop in visits 2 x day for 5 days for my 3 pups . Charlie is not particularly fond of people and I was a little nervous about how he’d react but by the end of the second day she had won him over and he followed her outside along with the other 2. She also fed my fish and put bird seed in my feeder every morning. She communicated concerns and reassured me all was well . I recommend her and I will use her again in the future !”
“Mitchell was the perfect choice. He kept us updated of every detail with our pups. I highly recommend Mitchell for booking and will for sure share his service with my peers. Thanks again.”
About: I've taken care of dogs for family and friends for weekends and overnight stays when they went out town. I've walked , fed, played, and bathed them when needed. Mostly big dogs and cats but I am comfortable with small dogs as well :) I work remote so I am available all day to watch your fur children :) I am flexible with my schedule as long as I know in advance I am needed . I will have your fur children in my home or backyard (depending on your requests). They are allowed to sleep and be on my furniture .
About: I love being engaged and active with each and every fur baby I’m blessed to watch. I love seeing their individual personalities blossom and grow! I can travel if needed. I create my schedule around my clients wants and needs. I try my best to be as flexible as possible because life happens to all of us. I am very willing to travel beyond the 60 mile radius allowed. I make sure to stay on any established schedule they may have and make sure that each and every one has the love and affection they so deserve.

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.
