“Maggie is seriously THE BEST!! We’ve had her watch our cats and garden twice now and she’s not only super caring and playful with them, but she totally goes the extra mile. While we were gone for two weeks she gave thorough updates and sent the cutest photos. Not to mention she kept our giant garden alive during a dry spell-lol. Would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who’s looking!!”
“Abigail is super responsive and did a great job with our puppy. Our dog is working through separation anxiety so it was so nice to get pic updates. She was on time and I cannot speak highly enough about how responsive she was. Would recommend!”
“I'm a repeat customer because Angela is the most thoughtful sitter I've ever had. My cat absolutely loves when she visits, and she goes above and beyond on her daily updates with pictures and status of the visit. I can't recommend her enough!”
“Andy was wonderful! She communicated with me throughout and took such great care of my cats. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She is kind, reliable, and truly loves animals. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter, and I will absolutely book with her again in the future.”
“Annette was great! She watched May for three weeks while I was on a business trip. She was very responsive and always sent lots of update photos. I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.”
“Genevieve was very prompt in her response and had great communication! My dogs were taken care of and I had no messes to clean up when I came home, which is always a plus! Would highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Jasmine was my first encounter with this app and hiring a sitter. She set my mind at ease. She is very nice and caring. Our bulldog Lola seems to really like her! I will be reaching out to her again in the future when we need it.”
About: I used to operate a rescue and shelter outside of Atlanta. I have experience with all types of animals in all types of conditions. Familiar with special needs, dietary restrictions, after surgery care, blind animals and more. I have always been an animal lover and I currently have 3 dogs I would like to make pet care my full time job. I currently do some side work in the construction field but would really enjoy spending all my time with the pets if possible I have a fenced in yard and two fully separated areas of the house and garage that open into the yard that can accommodate any animals who aren’t comfortable around other pets. I let my dogs on the couches and beds and they have free reign of the house
About: Growing up, we had three dogs and two cats in our household, plus, we fostered various rescue dogs. I have the most experience with Collies, Border Collies, Golden Retrievers, and Labs. My dog, Braden, was with me for 13 years. He had epilepsy, and was a rescue. I have experience with administering oral medication for cats and dogs. I have also provided care for turtles and fish! I currently work a full time job, and I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule. I can provide specialized care and walk/check in on pets at most times. I can generally work from anywhere as well. I would be caring for pets at the client's house, as I rent a small apartment. My only need is somewhere to work remotely with.
“This was the longest we've been away from our one cat since he was diagnosed with a heart issue and with Alyssa checking in on them it took away the stress/worry about if they were going to be ok.”
About: I genuinely do care for animals a lot. I love seeing their little personalities lol.

So this is a great way to help some people and animals out. Also a way to make extra money. I will treat each pet with love and care. Your pet will be cared for as if it were my own animal. Can't wait to see you
About: Volunteered and then worked full-time at an animal shelter, fell in love with our fluffy friends, and can't wait to make more! I was a long-time volunteer (2+ years) at the Ausable Valley Animal Shelter. Then I transitioned into a full-time position there as an animal technician and learned so much about general animal care, medication procedures, and sanitation requirements to meet state health codes. I truly miss being able to visit with new animals every day and look forward to bringing the bark (and meow) back into my life! I'm a student, which means class times are often at odd hours, leaving many mornings open to check in on pets, keep them company, or get in some doggy exercise! I am also available almost all Fridays-Sundays, making me the perfect option for pet sitting during your weekend plans. See below for more detailed availability (updated for Sept-Dec)! Monday : not available Tuesday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Wednesday : 7am-11am and 5pm-10pm Thursday : 7am-2pm & 6pm-10pm Friday-Sunday : all day availability I am an incredibly clean and organized person. I always try to leave the homes I pet-sit in just as they were when I entered, even if that means a bit extra clean-up!
About: I have about 6 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve worked with high‑energy pups, shy dogs, seniors, and everything in between. I’m reliable, patient, and always focused on making sure each dog feels safe, happy, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just keeping them company, I’m here to give your pup the attention they deserve. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to spend lots of time with the dogs in my care. Availability: Monday 7 am - 5 pm Tuesday 7 am - 7 pm Wednesday 7 am - 5 pm Thursday 7 am - 7 pm Friday 7 am - 4 pm Saturday All day Sunday 12pm - 8 pm I've grown up with dogs and being around them feels natural to me. I understand that every dog is different and I enjoy getting to know their personalities and what makes them comfortable
About: I have cared for a dog for most of my life, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I will treat your animal with the same love, patience, and attention that I gave my own. As a social worker, caring for others is a big part of who I am, and that naturally extends to animals too. I am dependable, gentle, and attentive, and I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am comfortable with walks, feeding routines, playtime, giving lots of attention, and keeping owners updated while they are away. I work Tuesday through Thursday from 8-3:30. I also have 2 daughters, which is a full time job on its' own! With that being said, my availability would typically be M,F,S,Su 11am-3pm and after 8pm most days. I will care for pets in their own home, where they are already comfortable with their normal routine and environment. I will follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box or potty needs, walks, playtime, and any other specific care requests. I will also make sure doors are secure, pets are safe before I leave, and the home is treated with respect. I am happy to provide updates so owners know their pet is safe, cared for, and doing well while they are away.
About: With 12 years of experience, I provide daily dog care for all ages, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication routines, and house sitting. I grew up with a dog and volunteered at a humane society supporting daily checkups and adoptions. From Monday to Friday I am available to care for a dog or cat after 5:30pm On Saturday and Sunday I am available from 9am to 8pm I treat every pet as if they were my own. I focus on safety, consistency, and comfort by following routines, maintaining a clean environment, and giving lots of attention. I respect your homes, provide regular updates, and make sure pets feel secure, loved, and stress-free while in my care.
About: I believe the best pet care starts with getting to know each pet and their individual routine. I’ll follow your instructions closely, whether that means walks, feeding schedules, playtime, medications, potty breaks, or simply giving your pet some extra love and attention. I’m happy to send regular updates and pictures so you can feel comfortable knowing your furry friend is doing well while you’re away. I’ll also make sure to keep their space clean, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable in my care. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own! I work from home every day as a full-time remote employee, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can easily accommodate walks, potty breaks, feeding schedules, and playtime, and I can even care for pets while their owners are at work. I live in a clean, comfortable apartment and have plenty of experience having my family dog come stay with me. I’m also a very active person who loves walking and running, so I’m happy to bring an energetic pup along for some exercise and adventure! When your pet stays with me, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and at home! I’ll follow their normal feeding, potty, walking, and sleep routine as closely as possible and give them plenty of attention and playtime throughout the day. Since I work from home, your pet won’t be left alone for long periods of time. I’m also happy to take dogs on walks or runs if that fits their normal routine and energy level. My apartment is clean, comfortable, and pet-friendly, and I’ll make sure your pet has a calm space to relax. I’ll send regular updates and pictures so you can see how your furry friend is doing while they’re staying with me! Because I live in an apartment, I do require dogs staying in my home to be fully potty trained. 🤍
About: I can work with dogs that have anxiety and aggressive. And cats too and any other animals. As I love animals of any size big or small Saturday-Sunday I can do anytime Monday-Friday after 2:30pm unless I'm staying in the house sitting and petsitting. Then time doesn't really matter as much then. Environment would be your home as I rent and they don't allow petsitting. Depends if yard is fence area if it is then I will play ball with them.

Morgen took care of our large furpup during a family wedding away from home. Our furpup is large and requires medication every 8 hrs. Morgen was excellent, on time, responsive and such a great person. Felt 100% comfortable leaving our pup in her care. She provided drop in visits and was awesome!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Walker choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

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 .
