About: I’ve loved dogs my entire life! I grew up helping raise puppies and spent the past 12 years caring for my own dogs. I’ve also enjoyed looking after my friends’ dogs along the way. These experiences have taught me that every dog has their own personality and unique needs. Having a reactive dog myself has taught me the importance of patience, kindness, and respecting boundaries. I value the insight you share about your dog and will always respect their routines, needs, and boundaries. I’ll enter your home with a calm, loving presence to help your dog feel safe and comfortable. From there, it’s all about what brings them joy! Weather that’s extra pets, belly rubs, sniff-filled walks, or a little playtime, I’ll make sure they get the love and attention they need to brighten their day while waiting for their favorite person or people to come home. After 17 years of teaching, I’ve transitioned into a more flexible, part-time work schedule that allows me to make pet care a priority. I love being able to plan my days around walks and visits, giving each dog the time, attention, and care they deserve! Dogs bring so much joy to our lives, and I love having the opportunity to bring a little extra joy to theirs! I understand the trust it takes to welcome someone into your home to care for such an important part of your family. I believe every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their space. I’ll always respect the routines, boundaries, and instructions you share because you know your dog best and following your expectations creates trust. Whether I’m stopping by for a visit or heading out for a walk, I’ll prioritize your dog’s safety while making sure they have opportunities for affection, playtime, exploring, and whatever brings them joy. My hope is that every visit leaves your dog feeling happy, loved, and cared for.
About: Hi there, my name is Savannah! Growing up, I had my two dogs, a Cocker Spaniel named Charlie, and a Shih Tzu named Rocky. Some of my best memories are hanging out with those lovely puppies. I’ve have taken care of my friends and family’s fur babies over the years and have always loved it. I take care and love them as if they’re my own. Additionally to playing and giving love to your fur baby, I can also administer medications to ensure your pet is happy and healthy. I am currently working part time remotely, giving me plenty of time to spend some quality time with your fur baby when you can’t. I have open availability for drop ins and house sitting for when you see fit. I am here to keep your fur baby happy and healthy while you’re out. I make sure that you know how your dog or cat is doing while also being attentive and making sure they are happy.
“Jillian was very attentive with our cats. She is adaptable to unexpected situations. She’s good with cats who are shy. Our cats love her, even our shy little one. She’s very responsive and sends lots of updates/pictures. The cats look forward to seeing her . I highly recommend anybody to book Jillian .”
About: I have cared for all kinds of dogs since I was young. Many of my family members and friends have relied on me with their furry family members. I am currently a full time student at CU Denver and run a youth volleyball program but in my free time I love to spend it out doors or at home with my own doggie. I have a large home and a friendly pup of my own so they'll never be bored. I can easily crate my dog or yours if need be. I am very protective of not just my own pup but as well others when in my care.
“Happy that Nathan was able to schedule a last minute check-in on our good boy. He was very communicative and was able to win over our Husky/Shepherd on a first meeting no problem. He sent plenty of pictures and provided plenty of scratches, would recommend!”
“So glad we found Gisselle. From the moment my dogs met her, they warmed up immediately — which says a lot. She was incredibly responsive to all of our communication and kept us updated the whole time. I've already planned to rebook with her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring sitter!”
About: When I was 8 years old and got my first dog—a medium-sized Poodle—I came to understand the true, unconditional love they offer; that is why I am so passionate about caring for them, being by their side, and joining them on their adventures. Also I’m a dog groomer so I can groom your dog, too 🐶🐕 I’m currently working during night, so I have all day to share, taking care and play with your dog. I’m available Monday and Tuesday from 7am to 6pm I have owned dogs for several years and I’m familiar with their daily needs, including walks, feeding, maintaining basic routines, and general supervision. Additionally, I have cared for dogs belonging to family and friends when needed, ensuring they receive attention, exercise, and companionship. I am comfortable interacting with dogs of differents sizes and personalities, paying close attention to their behavior and well-being. I am a responsible, patient person committed to providing safe and reliable care for every pet.

“Sheila is by far the most amazing sitter I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with! She was such a great help to my cat, who absolutely adored her. Sheila treated my cat with the utmost love and care, as if she were a family member, and her deep compassion really showed. You can tell she has a true passion for animals, and I feel incredibly fortunate to have found her. This was my first experience with Rover, and I’m so glad it led me to such a wonderful sitter. Sheila is everything you could ask for—punctual, passionate, professional, and incredibly kind.”

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.
