“Two weeks ago I moved into town with my dogs. Unfortunately I had not been able to come up with a good solution to the dogs being alone for my extended work shifts. Rover, and Donna, were the answer. Donna was able to come out to my house and let the dogs get outside and stretch their legs. Donna sent pictures and updates as she made her first few visits. The peace of mind that I had from Donna's visits cannot be understated. She treated my dogs and our home with respect. Her professionalism is unparalleled. Thank you so much for taking care of Martha and Vinnie.”
About: Ive taken care of a variety of animals ranging from all sizes & ages of dogs, cats, horses, chickens, rabbits, & guinea pigs. I currently have 2 of my own dogs, that are like my children! I’m able to feed, walk, daily visits, give any necessary medication. I am currently working part time, so I have plenty of free time to care for your animals! I am available both days and nights. Will treat your animals like family, I treat my own dogs like they are my kids. Will follow any rules you have for your pet.
“Madison showed up even prior to the visits to meet our dogs and learn their routine. She provided great updates on our dogs. She was reliable and showed up on time for her visits. Our dogs seemed to really like her. We will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Murphy was so happy to have Madison take care of him today! The day before Murphy strained his shoulder and I was worried about leaving him but Madison made sure he had lots of love and his needs were met. We very much appreciated her service and look forward to future bookings!”
About: I adore animals and I volunteer at the Fulton County Humane Society and have been for two years! During my work there I have helped with very skittish dogs from puppy mills to puppies who make quite the mess! I even have a few of my own pets i have two pitbulls and a rotweiller, one being a rescue so I understand some dogs having struggles with change of routine. I work part time in a restaurant but would be able to house sit on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and saturdays! I work shorter hours so i would be able to fit a stop in most days.’ I understand how this might confuse your dog having someone new come in and help them but because of my experience in the rescue world I know tips and tricks that will allow me to ensure their safety along with your houses!
About: Hi, I’m Ariel! I’m a former nurse and now a stay-at-home mom with a lifelong love for animals. Caring for others has always been a big part of who I am, and that same compassion extends to every pet I meet. I understand that pets are family, and I treat each one with the same love, patience, and attention I would want for my own. Whether your furry friend needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication administration, or simply a comforting presence while you’re away, I’m committed to providing safe, reliable, and personalized care. As someone who is home throughout the day, I have a flexible schedule and can give your pet plenty of attention and companionship. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my day. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention are things I genuinely look forward to. I plan my schedule carefully to make sure each pet gets the time, consistency, and care they deserve while they’re with me I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure. Every pet has different needs, and I’m happy to tailor my care to their personality, energy level, and routine
About: I have 30 years of hands-on experience with dogs, including breeding and raising puppies, professional training, and working with rescue dogs needing behavioral rehabilitation. I have experience with many breeds, temperaments and behavioral challenges, along with numerous references from clients and families who have trusted me with the care and training of their dogs. Drop-in visits are available for potty breaks, feeding, medication, playtime and check-ins for dogs of all ages. Because I’m also a professional dog trainer, I can incorporate basic obedience training, manners and mental stimulation into our time together. Your dog gets the care they need, plus productive one-on-one attention while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate both regular and occasional drop-in visits throughout the week. Whether you need ongoing visits, occasional help, or care while you’re away, I’m happy to work with your dog’s normal routine and schedule. I care for each dog according to their established routine, household rules and individual needs. As an experienced trainer, I’m comfortable reading canine body language and handling different temperaments. I respect your home, your dog’s boundaries and the training or structure you already have in place while providing safe, attentive care.
About: I have been helping take care of dogs since I was in high school. I have many years experience with home and pet sitting. I can also administer medications including vaccines. I am currently looking to do pet sitting full time and have a very open schedule, so I am very flexible in what days I can sit. I will no longer be accepting clients if it is within a week of booking, as that does not give me time to properly look into who I accept as a client. I am also requiring a meet and greet at least a week in advance to see if your dogs are properly trained and will listen to basic commands, and to make sure the house is clean and liveable for the time I will be there. I plan on utilizing what is available at your house, but I also plan on taking your pet for car rides or to parks to enjoy the outdoors, if that is something they are allowed. I can’t stay at a house or get dogs out of a house with cats. I am highly allergic to them, so it has to be a dog only household. I am currently only able to stay at your home as an option, as my household has dog unfriendly dogs.
About: I went to FCCC and had worked with dogs for as long as I can remember. I love animals and will take good care of your pets! I am currently not doing anything for work so I am free any week day and some weekends. I am on a travel softball team so some weekends I will be busy. I live in the country down a long lane so we don’t have a fence, we just let our dogs run free. They are pretty trained but if you are not comfortable with this I can put your dogs on a lease or just watch them at your house.
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, I have dog sat for my sisters and friends. I can feed, walk, and bath them. I care for my pets as if there my children and I would do the same for any pet! I got to college online and work a full time job Monday through Friday, when I’m not working I’m home with my pets! They enjoy relaxing with me and my Niko loves car rides! I can do drop in visits and dog walking on weekends any times! Message me and we can definitely work something out! I live in an apartment so I don’t have much of a yard so when it’s not super hot I take Niko on walks let him run around, he enjoys laying outside and chillin. He has so much fluff the heat gets to him ☺️
“Natasha was wonderful! She was very thorough and communicative, and we never had to worry about our cats while we were away because she was so on top of everything. She spent plenty of time with them on each visit, and also kept us updated with lots of photos. Our cats are senior citizens and need medications, so they're not the easiest to take care of, but Natasha handled everything incredibly well. We would happily have her watch our cats again.”
About: I've worked professionally in the pet industry since the age of 17 (currently 27) and have had personal pets all my life as well as volunteered prior to working. I was a professional groomer in California before moving to Ohio and becoming a stay at home mom. I worked at Fort Defiance Humane Society as a Kennel Tech for a few months before deciding to part ways. I'm currently a stay at home mom, my son is 4 and absolutely adores dogs. He would have to accompany my to any walking or drop ins. We are both very aware of saftey and how to handle dogs. I believe in providing proper mental and physical enrichment for the animals in the home. In my home my cats are brushed daily, and we give them plenty of play time.
“Celene was an absolute life saver. My dog sitter cancelled a few days before my vacation and I was very worried about not just finding someone, but someone that my dogs would enjoy being with. As soon as I met her and my dogs welcomed her I could tell they were in good hands. She was very informative with her 3 visits a day and sent pictures as well as updated if something seemed off with them or if they were extra happy to see her. I truly appreciate her more than words can explain and I’m so deeply grateful that my fur babies were well taken care of and appreciated. Thank you again Celene.”
About: I have walked family member’s dogs since I was a kid and have owned dogs since I was in my 20s. I have experience with all types of dogs! I work in Maumee during the week until 5:00 so available after that to check in on your pets and/ or walk your dog! I have 2 dogs named Lilly and Koda and a cat named Puff! I have experience with many types of dogs and cats. I would love to stop into your home to check on any of your fur babies!
About: I’ve taken care of many pups over the years. I grew up with dogs and don’t currently have any of my own so I will treat your furry friends as my own🐾 I have availability for day checks and stay-cations! I do work full time, but should be able to keep your furry family happy and healthy! Message me for more details and we can work something out! I do not offer in home care at my house, but I have experience both checking in and staying in others’ homes with their furry friends🐾

Two weeks ago I moved into town with my dogs. Unfortunately I had not been able to come up with a good solution to the dogs being alone for my extended work shifts. Rover, and Donna, were the answer. Donna was able to come out to my house and let the dogs get outside and stretch their legs. Donna sent pictures and updates as she made her first few visits. The peace of mind that I had from Donna's visits cannot be understated. She treated my dogs and our home with respect. Her professionalism is unparalleled. Thank you so much for taking care of Martha and Vinnie.

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.
