Why Become a Dog Sitter?

You can choose your own schedule and have the flexibility of deciding what types of dogs you want to watch - their size, age, breed, and more! Even better, Rover helps you put together a dog sitting profile so that you can successfully attract clients to your page.

After being approved by Rover, you set up your own profile with the services you want to provide, your dog sitting experience, and the days that you are available. Rover connects you with educational opportunities and continually advertises to bring you more clients.
