“Elaine was easy to communicate and very punctual. She sent photos of my dog on his walk and had no issues with my slightly tedious entry instructions to my house. I will definitely book her again!”
“Jocelyn was amazing with our boy! Seriously went above and beyond for us! Great communication, such sweet pictures of them playing together, and she even spoiled him with his daily treats, some physical activity, and affection. I would love for her to come back any time.”
“Lexi was great! She helped us take very good care of Imo while we were traveling during the holidays. She was on time and great with our instructions and communications. Our cat Imo really liked her and enjoyed playing with her. She also took many cute photos of Imo :) Really appreciate your help last minute. Thank you!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life! Currently have two dogs and a cat. I specialize in active breeds that love exercise and being outside. Drop-Ins I am flexible for times on days when I am available. As long as you leave instructions I am comfortable with whatever they need. Feeding, walks or just spending time with them! Walking Whatever your dog needs for activity I can provide for them. If they just need a little walk around the park or a long hike I can do it. I have two active breed dogs who love companions on adventures! I am currently working part time and am available sporadically throughout the week. I will try and update my schedule as frequently as possible to keep it up to date. I have a fully fenced yard and two very friendly dogs. They love other dogs and want nothing more than to have a friend around to play with!
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She was caring, attentive, kind, understanding, and very flexible. I especially appreciated that she kept me updated and sent me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared and made sure everything was going well. I would absolutely recommend Laura and would be very happy to book with her again!”
“Alura is totally worth the 5 stars! I hate leaving my little guy, but it’s such a relief knowing that he’s in such good hands when I have to be away. I can’t thank Alura enough, and I definitely hope she is able to watch after my fur kid again when needed in the future.”
“This is the second time we’ve used Rebecca and she’s just great. She’s so good with our cats and is great at communicating with us. She’s willing to go above and beyond.”
About: I’ve had pets of all kinds including dogs, cats, reptiles, small animals, birds, and invertebrates. I’ve also worked at a pet store for the last year and a half so I have some knowledge on freshwater fish as well as experience administering medications to animals. I’m currently only working part time, about 12-18 hours a week, so I have more than enough time to check on and play with your pets! I’m super flexible and want to do anything I can to make sure your pets are as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while their humans aren’t home!
“Jenny provides great care for my dog. She is very reliable and prompt in responding. She has gone above and beyond in helping out in difficult situations. I really appreciate her help.”
“Francisca is amazing! She cared for my two cats, one of which is mostly feral and requires daily medication, with ease. I got daily updates and felt confident that my kitties were well cared for. If you're looking for a reliable and loving cat sitter, book with her!”
“Caitlyn was great with Cooper and did the little things for him that we really appreciated. The updates and photos help us with knowing he was in good hands. We had never used Caitlyn before but will definitely contact her again.”
“Sierra was responsive, friendly and arrived on time for each of 3 walks we booked. She took good care of our senior dog, sent pictures and was in good communication. Much appreciated!”
About: On my mother’s farm I have cared for dogs, cats, fish, ducks, horses, and a donkey! I have fostered multiple puppies and helped with their potty training. I currently own two dogs myself, a 2 yr old Great Dane and a 12 yr old Blue Heeler who has dementia. I understand the patience furry family members need, as well has routine. I do my best to make every pet and person feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m currently working on my Master’s degree and as a para at a local school. I am available during the week before 7am and after 3pm. Weekends have varied availability so be sure to check my calendar! I am a certified teacher so I have completed background checks and can promise I will treat your home better than my own during drop-in visits. I am also comfortable providing medication if needed.
About: I grew up having three different dogs ever until I was about 13. Over the last couple years, I’ve watched, walked, and overall taken care of several dogs for friends and family. I genuinely love to be around dogs and to play. I work from home full-time so I can give your dog a good amount of attention throughout the day with breaks to play and take a necessary potty or walk. I can watch dogs currently anytime during the work week! I live in an apartment so I don’t have a yard, but the area I live in has grass near by to go to when needed. Otherwise, we do go on walks throughout the day in our apartment community to get some exercise. We hold the safety of the dogs at highest priority so making sure they don’t get into anything they aren’t suppose to and making sure that they have what they need!
About: I’m no animal expert, but I've had pets all my life, and put a lot of heart & effort into taking care of someone's pet just like I would my own any day! I work 4 hours in the evening, Mon-Thurs every week, but other than that, I have a lot of free time to take care of a family’s pet, & make sure their needs are met! I don’t have my dog with me anymore because my family moved to Idaho, but I have a dog with my dad; a black lab, Captain Jack (but we call him Cap for short) who I absolutely adore, and took care of when we were living together. Lots of walks, playtime, belly rubs, booty scratches, love & kisses, grooming, necessary discipline, feeding, etc. I also had my cat, Maybelle, at my mother's who is still with her because she kind of became the family cat. But I took care of her as she was originally my cat. I have had dogs & cats growing up so definitely familiar with both! For other people's pets, your pets, your rules. Your house, your rules. Anything you need me to do for your pet, I can do. If I haven't done something before, I will happily learn from you & do as you tell me.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Walnut Grove
Brittany took such good care our cats of Ethel and Max while we were away that we really couldn’t ask for a better sitter. Our cats need medication, and Brittany made sure they were comfortable and cared for and kept us at ease while we were away. I would highly recommend her :)
This is the second time we have used Mandi and I would use her again in a heartbeat. She is incredibly reliable and took amazing care of our cat. Additionally our cat needed pill medication twice a day and she was amazing with making sure our cat got his meds. Can’t recommend Mandi enough!!
Cassie was recommended to me by a friend! She was so great with my senior cat who needs daily meds. Cassie had excellent communication, gave great updates, and overall put me at so much ease knowing Kitty was so well taken care of. I will definitely be using her again!
Alura was very attentive to my cat, Romeo. She paid attention to detail, and asked questions if things were not clear. Romeo was very happy and seemed content and comfortable when I came home. I loved the photos she sent. I also asked Alura to water my garden and flowers, and she did a great job with that. It was very hot the week I was gone, and everything looked great when I returned.

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.
