“Kimberly did an amazing job when I went on vacation for a week! She checked on my girls 4 times and day and took such good care of them. It help me as a worrisome dog mom to trust that they were in excellent hands💖👏🏻”
“Kiersten was great with both my dogs! She communicates very well, sent pictures, and followed all of my directions for my dogs. One of my dogs can be reactive when he is not familiar with someone and Kiersten was willing to meet him multiple times before the actual date!! I am so thankful I found her to take care of my dogs. I cannot recommend her enough!! Thank you again and I look forward to working with you again!”
About: I have had a dog throughout my whole life. My friends and family have relied on me to watch, feed, bathe, and walk their pets. I currently work full time but I am off during the summer so I will plenty of time to spend with your dog. I am available though out the week for dog walking, during the weekends I am able to dog sit at my house. I have a fenced in yard and I currently don’t have a dog so you don’t have to worry about if your dog isn’t friendly.
About: Hello Hello! I’ve been caring for pets for 5 years - from energetic 10 week old puppies to 13 y/o senior dogs, (and many more in between!) - and I truly treat every animal like family. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to pets who need a little extra care or patience. Pet care is something I’m happy to incorporate into my routine! I’m currently in school, so I don’t have to work around a strict work schedule. I’m available for morning/ afternoon/ evening walks or visits, and I’m flexible with scheduling to fit your pet’s needs. Whether it’s a midday potty break and feeding or overnight care in your home, I’d be there to help make things easy and stress-free. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping things as familiar and safe as possible. I’ll stick close to your pet’s usual routine- with feeding, walks, playtime, or medication- so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away! I treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll be mindful of your space, follow your instructions, and make sure your pet has everything they need. Whether I’m doing a quick drop-in or staying overnight, you can count on updates and photos, so you always know how things are going!
“Christine answered my last minute request right away. She visited with my dog, Payton , who was recently injured while we were gone. She sent pictures and communicated with me during her visit with Payton helping me to relax and be sure she was well taken care of.”
About: I love to spend time with them , I like to play with them, I like to take them to the park. I will always keep them on a leash. I can teach them some tricks, sit , stay roll over. I can take them out every two hours, to go potty. I can keep them over night. I took care of a one eye cat, I took care of a blind dog. I have had dogs in diapers. I took care of a Yorkshire, who was pregnant, she went into labor at my house, and my mom and I delivered three little babies they came out every forty minutes. We help clean the babies, and my dog Chuckie helped to. Give them kisses, hugs.
“Bethanie was super responsive, professional and left no room for worry in the caretaking of our five four-legged kids while we attended our daughter's wedding in Michigan! She was also kind enough to help tech-challenged me with the Rover app as well as sending photos during our time away?. Very impressed and grateful!”
About: I love fur babies! Whether it’s running around and playing with a younger ball of energy, just talking and petting an older “pup” I’m your girl I’ve cared for neighborhood pets since I was 12 years old. I have had pets in my home my entire life. I’d love to give you a stress free time away knowing your beloved animals are in great care while you are unavailable. During the week I would like to schedule regular evening walks, drops ins, or boarding. And weekends I am completely available. I can accommodate weekday services as long as I have enough of an advanced notice. I have a large fenced in yard! I am a very adventurous, outdoors person so if your dog is energetic I will be out there finding out what your dog enjoys to do, whether it be being chased, catching a ball, or just being curious and walking the neighborhood if you’re baby plans on hanging out with me I would definitely keep he/she active! I am currently working Monday-Thursdays, with a very flexible schedule! I am able to do drop ins or walks anytime throughout the day, but I will be able to give more devoted time for boarding typically Thur thru Sunday. We have a fenced in yard and plenty of space for your fur babies to run around and feel at home! My family will live on your pets as if they are our own!
“Natasha did a great job watching my three cats while I was out of town recently. Communication was on point, she did as I asked in regards to feeding them, and genuinely seemed to care about my fur kids. Would definitely recommend.”
About: I am a registered veterinary technician in the state of Indiana. I graduated from Purdue university with my Bachelors in veterinary nursing and an associates in animal science. I have been caring for animals since I was little and have several of my own. I currently work fully time at a veterinary clinic. I am able to do general care and sitting before work and after. Depending on distance from work can stop by during mid-day for some extra attention during the days I work. On my days off I am at your pets full beck and call. I do a phone or in person consultation before pet sitting to get a full scope of what everyday care looks like for your pet to upset their daily schedule as little as possible while I’m staying/visiting with them.
About: Hi! I’m Kristina, a Registered Veterinary Technician with over 9 years of experience caring for animals in general practice, emergency medicine, and beyond. 🐾 I know how important it is to have someone you truly trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and needs, including seniors and pets who may need a little extra patience and attention. Your pets will be treated like family and cared for with the same compassion and attention I give my own. ❤️ Pet care is my full-time profession, which means your pets receive my dedicated time, attention, and reliability—not just care squeezed in around another job. As a Registered Veterinary Technician, I’ve built my career around caring for animals and understanding their individual needs. I’m able to provide dependable scheduling, attentive care, and the peace of mind that comes from leaving your pets with an experienced veterinary professional. 🐾 My home is set up with pet safety and supervision in mind. 🏡🐾 I have a gate separating the front and back areas of the house, which helps me safely manage pets and keep a close eye on everyone in my care. I have a small, unfenced yard, so pets are always supervised and leashed while outside. My neighborhood is quiet and safe, making it great for daily walks and outdoor enrichment. I also have crates available when needed or if your pet is most comfortable having their own secure space. There are other pets in my home, so I take introductions and individual personalities seriously. My veterinary background helps me closely monitor behavior, comfort, and interactions to create a safe and positive environment for every pet staying with me. ❤️

About: Hello, my name’s Anna. I have been taking care of dogs since I was 16. My family got a golden doodle several years ago and he has definitely been a joy and a task. Having a dog such as mine has made me more comfortable in my dog caring skills and fairly knowledgeable about what needs dogs have. I’m also very well equipped to handle puppies as I recently got a cocker spaniel several months ago. But given that, my passion for dogs continues to grow. I now as an independent adult have 2 dogs who I’ve had the pleasure of raising as puppies to where they are at now. I work full time but like to stay active and adding furry friends to the mix on my days off is no big task. I would love to see more dog friends and help them socialize and make someone’s life easier. I don’t have a fenced in back yard, but I am capable of taking dogs on as many walks as needed. I am also capable of putting dogs in a crate and preparing them for crating as long as needed.
“Janette was amazing, 10/10 recommend her! She accepted my last minute booking on a very busy weekend, communicating quickly and kindly to coordinate the drop-in. She did an amazing job of communicating before, during, & after the drop-in even when I wasn't able to promptly answer her. Janette even went above & beyond - going out on a limb to greet my very scared cats with treats!”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and dogs have always had a special place in my heart! Growing up, my family had dogs, horses, goats, chickens, cats, birds, fish—you name it. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me, and over the years I’ve become the go-to pet sitter for friends and family whenever they go on vacation. I understand that every dog is unique, whether they’re full of energy and love long walks or prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My goal is to make your pup feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away by keeping their routine as normal as possible. You can expect plenty of playtime, belly rubs, potty breaks, and lots of love and attention. I treat every dog as if they were my own and will keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind, knowing your furry family member is in good hands! I currently work full-time from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM and have an hour commute each way. Because of this, I offer boarding for pets who are comfortable being alone for an extended period during the workday. I am fully available on weekends and can dedicate plenty of time to your furry family members! I also offer evening dog walks and drop-in visits after work. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my schedule or your pet’s specific needs—I’m happy to accommodate whenever possible! Your pet will be welcomed into a safe, loving home away from home! I live in a top-floor apartment with carpeted stairs and plenty of windows, perfect for curious pups who love to look outside and watch the world go by. There’s also a private dog park directly across the street from my complex, giving your dog a great place to play and burn off some energy. My neighborhood is quiet and pet-friendly, making it ideal for long walks and plenty of sniffing adventures. I make sure every pet gets lots of attention, playtime, potty breaks, and, of course, treats (with owner approval!). My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you’re away, treating them like part of my own family.
About: Ive always had pets growing up my whole life, I started watching other people’s pets my last year of high school. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pet behind when going on vacation, work calls, etc. which is why I keep all owners updated and informed on how their fur babies are doing. I currently work a 9-5, M-F. However my boyfriend gets off work at 3. Which is why I have my availability set to the weekends. I am not opposed to weekdays I just want to be up front about my schedule. I live on a half acre but we are out in the country surrounded by open fields. Therefore we have plenty of room to run, walk, and play, I also have two dogs myself to keep yours company and play! I do crate my own dogs when I leave the house because we have an open pantry and we’ve had trips to the vet because of things being eaten that should not have been… Therefore I prefer to crate dogs when I leave the house.

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 .

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.
