“Ciara was awesome. I felt comfortable overseas knowing Freya was in good hands. Ciara took care of everything and even developed a bond with Freya. I'd be excited to use Ciara again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs of all ages and stages. I have delivered puppies and taken care of them through their first 8 weeks of life. I have cared for older dogs giving them medication in various ways. I am a typical home body so overnight stays will ensure that your pet is seen, cuddled and cared for extended periods of time throughout the week. Daily I am home by 5:00. In my home pets are apart of the family. My only boundary is that pets are not allowed on the furniture, me and my kids have allergies and need the sheets to be clean!
“Eleanor really saved the day when we had a family emergency and had to leave town. She was professional and punctual. She was a good communicator and we really appreciated all the photos!”
“Rachael was great. She was on-time, loving to my Annie and easy to work with. I will certainly use her as a cat sitter again and recommend her to others.”
“Laura did a great job caring for our cat, Benny, on our first trip without him. She even learned how to feed our bearded dragon and kept an eye on her as well!”
About: Caring for other is my passion. Whether it's people or pets. I love animals and treat them like another member of the family. I grew up with pets and I've cared for them my entire life. I also have a nack for training dogs as well. I potty trained my dog and taught her to open doors and take items to others. I can provide play data as well with family members who have pets as well with other rover customers if desired. I live in a safe and clean environment that will foster a great experience for all parties. I'm looking to build long lasting relationships with all pets and their owners. Choosing me will be a great choice. Have a great day. Thank you for your consideration.
About: What truly sets me apart is my nine years of comprehensive, hands-on experience caring for my family's pets, consistently since 2016. My reliable background is further proven by my time dog sitting and walking for several friends, demonstrating comfort and expertise with pets outside my own home. I'm proficient in managing both large and small breeds, having cared for a Pitbull and a Yorkie, giving me confidence with all energy and handling needs. My experience also extends to cats. I rescued a cat that I found on the street, which highlights my patience and skill in providing gentle care for nervous or shy animals. I am reliable, versatile, and deeply committed to recognizing and meeting the individual needs of both dogs and cats. Pet care fits easily into my current schedule, ensuring your pets receive focused attention without being rushed. I work part-time as a Paraoptometric Technician and dedicate other free time to volunteering, but I intentionally keep large, consistent blocks open for pet care. My reliable availability includes Tuesday afternoons, Thursday mornings and afternoons, and full availability on weekends. This structure guarantees I can provide reliable, high-quality care, whether your pet needs a mid-day walk, or regular drop-in visits. My main goal is to create a stress-free and loving experience for your pet right in their familiar environment. When I care for your dog or cat, I focus entirely on their comfort and routine. I'm meticulous about following your exact instructions for feeding, medication, and walks, making sure their schedule feels perfectly normal. I also know that security is important, so you can trust me to be mindful of your home while I provide care. I'm skilled at providing gentle companionship—like I do for my own rescue cat—which is especially helpful for nervous or shy pets. You can count on me for excellent care, a tidy pet area, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how happy they are!
“Toria has dropped-in for us on multiple occassions. She is always prompt with her communication and we can tell that Hank, our cat, is always pleased to see her!”
“Mary was the absolute best!! I felt so relieved on my trip knowing that my baby was in good hands. She genuinely cared about my pet and was so thoughtful!! I loved how much time she spent with him and the pictures and updates that I got. She is fantastic!! 10/10 recommend! 💙”
“Emmalea did a wonderful job checking in on our two cats while we were away for a short trip. Her communication with us was top notch, and I would definitely recommend Emmalea. Our cats were relaxed and happy when we returned home, and we knew that they were cared for well while we were away.”
About: Hi. I'm Malcolm, I have been a pet care extraordinaire for over 5 years. My love for animals has been ignited for longer than i can remember and I never get enough of loving all the uniquely named fur babies. Hope to meet yours soon! I currently work a full time until 4pm Monday-Friday. I am available for drop-ins, overnights, evening visits, pet sitting, 1 animal boarding. Flexibility is my specialty. I have a fenced in backyard and am located near multiple parks within walking distance for the pups. I am happy to provide company for the occasional friendly cat as well.
About: I'm just here to make as many canine friends as possible! I love going for walks and would be thrilled to have a puppy companion. For me this isn't a chore, it's a passion! I have experience walking large dogs and senior dogs. I'm happy to walk any breed of dog. While I love bringing my canine friends treats, I respect any special dietary restrictions. My goal is to take as great care of your dog as you would. Please let me know if your dog has any restrictions. I'm currently available for walks and drop-ins throughout the week during the day and the evening. I'm also available for house sitting with 24 hours notice. Thank you and I look forward to hearing from you!
About: I’ve dog sat and house sat for friends before and they have trusted me with their house and animals, generally for 1 week but sometimes for longer or shorter. I take very good care of the home and animals, listen to instructions careful and apply those instructions in order to be helpful. I will always be upfront and honest with everyone and I always communicate well. I currently work as a full time server at Texas Roadhouse and live by myself. I am not married nor have any kids yet so it’s just me. My schedule is pretty flexible in the morning to early afternoon due to having to serve at night generally. I don’t mind coming in to help before and after work. I don’t have any pets in my own home because I can’t due to landlord rules but I grew up with animals throughout my whole life. I play with the animals if they want to play, pet them, feed them when they need to be fed, take them on walks (dogs), just have fun with them!
About: I have two dogs of my own, and have lived in households with dogs for most of my life. I am currently living with and caring for two senior dogs, and have experience with younger pups as well. I have also lived with and have been a pet sitter for cats regularly. Through my 5 years working as a pet-sitter I have become well versed in medication administration such as insulin, tablets, and eye drops. I am a full time dogsitter and will be able to check on/stay with your dog for most of the day. I schedule myself so I have plenty of time dedicated each day to play with your dog, take them on walks, and make sure their every need is met. I typically only schedule with one family at a time so I can ensure your dog's every need is met! I co-care for my own dogs with my boyfriend full time (he will ensure my pups are taken care of while I care for clients' dogs). I can clean and change puppy pads as needed; hiking, parks, and walks are no problem!
“Michael looked after our dog and cats while we were out of town. He provided the best updates on how they were doing each visit, and sent plenty of photos and videos. They were happy and well looked after the whole time we were away, and we were so glad to have such reliable help!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Watterson Park
Mera is absolutely wonderful! She is always dependable, reliable, and so easy to communicate with. Most importantly, my dogs absolutely love her and are always excited to see her, which gives me such peace of mind when I’m away. She is caring, attentive, and treats them like they are her own. I never have to worry when they are in her care. I highly recommend Mera to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their pets. We feel very lucky to have found her! Happy she is back on Rover!
Rhonda is an absolute gem! She followed our care instructions to a T, and every visit came with thoughtful updates and sweet little descriptions of what my baby girl was up to. The photos she sent were seriously amazing, I looked forward to every single one. It’s clear she genuinely loves the fur babies she cares for. I’d rebook with Rhonda in a heartbeat and recommend her without hesitation!
Catherine is absolutely fantastic! She takes the time to truly care for your dog and goes above and beyond. She really helped us out with handling our new puppy! She even was able to teach him a few basic commands during her drop in visits. I couldn’t recommend her enough!!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
