“Really appreciate Lori's great care for my cats and help lugging in my subscribe and save when amazon moved my date up on me. They were heavy packages filled with cases of cat food!”
About: I’ve grown up around animals all my life! Taking good care of dogs and cats has become a second nature to me. Since I was 5 years old and I’ve been surrounded by animals and deeply care for all of them. I have prior experience working in pet grooming and helped friends and family look after their pets as well. I can do pet care any time of day, the end of august my availability will change because I start school as well as a part time job. I check up on pets often and make sure everything is ok with their health and mood. I love spending time with pets so being around them is very easy for me.
“Andrea was available on short notice and didn’t have a minimum visit number, she came at the time she promised and did all of the things I asked. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken care of a variety of animals throughout my life. I showed farm animals in my youth and always had plenty of dogs at home. I love the puppy and young adult stage in dogs, and have a major soft spot for the old timers. I currently have a two beagles and we spend lots of time playing and walking outside. I work a full time job, but work from home often. Depending on the week, I can be available for some combination of evening, lunch, and morning check ins/walks. Sundays are available as well for similar services. I am a big believer in the letter of the law when it comes to caring for a pet in your home or on a walk. I want to be able to deliver maximum peace of mind for you and your pooch. If you have any concerns about anxiety, let me know and I can make sure that we are on the same page about ways to combat it.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. I currently have a golden doodle and have never met a dog i did not like. I have taken care of cats and love all furry friends. I am a responsible and reliable adult and know your pets are family members I'm currently taking a break from my full time career and as a huge pet lover, i thought this would be a great way to fill my day. So I'm available all day for morning walks or afternoon drops in's . I'm super flexible I have a fenced in yard as well as a crate available for an overnight stay, or can come to your home to walk/care your pet
About: I currently have a 2 1/2 year old pug named Alfie. Love going for walks and playing with pups. Have spare time that I can dedicate to giving pets the attention and exercise that they need and deserve. Very attentive and enjoy being outside and living an active lifestyle. But if a dog doesn’t like activity as much I also enjoy cuddling and giving belly rubs inside the house as well. If you’re looking for someone to love your pet and care for them the way you personally would I am the right person for your dog walking or overnight stay needs. Feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have about your pet! Weekends are the best availability for me. I do have some availability in the mornings to check on animals and go for walks as well. I am willing to visit the pets home to care for them if they are more comfortable staying in their own space. Pets are also welcome in my home if they are good with another dog and comfortable being somewhere new.
“Robin always goes above and beyond to take care of our babies. This was our 5th booking with her and our cat was a bit rambunctious, knocking over our legos and humidifier and throwing up every few days. Robin sent us many pictures daily to update us and kept our apartment clean and orderly throughout the week. We trust her fully and feel so at ease during our trips. She is the best pet sitter and deserves all the stars! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
About: Dogs are tight, like one walked me down the stairs as a kid, they can sure be annoying sometimes but just gotta keep ‘em fed and comfy. I’m free most days except Wednesday though that’s negotiable, case by case. I’ll probably be free most of the summer unless something else is in the docket. It’s best not to rule them up, but keep very attentive. Pee and poop when needed, eat when needed, telling when by body language. Also good to snuggle if I’m not feeling too smothered LOL. And of course, you never know what these guys are capable of, so doors shut, fragile things put away.
“Amanda is the best. I trust her very much to always take care of my kitties. They love her. I come home to a happy, clean apartment every time. I will always book again!”
About: Hi! I grew up with family dogs. I always love caring for them and taking them on long walks. I rescued my dog Reagan. She is a 10 year old medium-sized friendly high-energy dog that would love a housemate to spend time and play with. I live in a house with a dog door and a fenced in yard. I am also able to take the dogs out on frequent walks easily. I also have a lot of green space near my place, to include the Mount Vernon Trail and Jones Point Park. When boarding, I will primarily be home with the dogs. Boarding pick-ups after 3pm will incur a daycare fee of $30. I can't wait to meet and spend time with your pup! I work from home full time and have flexibility with my daytime work schedule if the dog needs frequent walks or play through the day. Dogs are allowed on my furniture and have really all the freedom to roam as they please. I also have a dog door so they can go outside as they like. But I can also easily let them out and monitor them if they do not care for a dog door.
“Julia was able to watch my dog Whiskey at the last minute. He can be anxious around new people and in a new situation, but Julia was able to take care of everything and he had a great time.”
“Mandy was wonderful! She took great care of my dog and cat, was very communicative, and made me feel very comfortable leaving them in her care! I would definitely recommend Mandy to anyone!”
About: I am full-time working from home now, so since I’ve got some extra time I would love to take care of your dog! We have a dog, cat, and 1 year old baby here but would love to have someone else over to play. We have a large fenced in back yard, perfect for running around or relaxing in the sun. I would also love to pick your dog up and take it on a walk. I am available all day at home. We love dogs, have relied on Rover sitters a lot, and would love to help you out! Please let me know if you would like to come for a meet and greet! Our lives have revolved around our pets for many years. Taking care of them is the first thing we do when we wake up and they are top of mind all day long. Our dog enjoys spending a lot of time outside, but if your dog wants to shadow me that’s great too! I am happy to accommodate any care requirements
About: Hi there! I’m Gabriel, and I’m excited to be your pet’s next favorite human while you’re away. For over 4 years, I’ve provided dedicated pet sitting for neighbors, friends, and family. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities—from high-energy pups who need long, active walks to sweet senior dogs who just want a quiet lap, and independent cats who need their routines kept just right. I prioritize clear communication, reliability, and peace of mind. When your pet is in my care, you can expect regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, breeds, and energy levels, as well as cats. I will make sure to follow your exact care instructions, feeding schedules, and medication routines to keep your pet’s environment consistent and stress-free. You’ll get plenty of daily photo updates and quick responses so you can keep your peace of mind. I’ll also be sure to match your pet’s energy level, whether they need an energetic run or a gentle stroll! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to schedule a Meet & Greet. Pet care fits right into my schedule! I’m currently making a career transition and will soon be working part-time, which leaves me with plenty of open time and flexibility. On days I work, my shifts will typically be from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, leaving me fully available for early mornings, evenings, and overnight care. During my open hours, your pup can get my undivided attention, plenty of exercise, and dedicated cozy time! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, calm, and comfortable. I stick strictly to your established feeding times, walk schedules, and house rules. During visits or house sits, I make sure your pet receives plenty of active play, cozy companionship, and undivided attention. I also respect your home, keeping everything clean and tidy while giving you full peace of mind with regular photo updates and clear communication.
About: If I’m lucky enough to take care of your dog for a little while, I want you to know I’ll look out for them like my own! I have two cats myself (one is a cute little blind nugget), but I’ve grown up with dogs all my life and have worked as a dog groomer and sitter. I can’t have dogs of my own at the moment, and will take care of your pup as if they were my own! I’m currently working from home and teach kids dance part time. I have lots of free time to take your dog on walks, or check in. When I’m boarding dogs at my home or having them for day care, they have a great yard to run around in and I’ll take them for walks in my neighborhood. They’ll get lots of love from me while I’m working at home :)

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wellington
Melissa did a few drop-in visits over the long weekend while we were out and the pups were in excellent hands! She took great care of them, sent us photos, and even sent videos of our slipper and sudoku book crime scenes! RIP slippers. 😁 We look forward to working with Melissa again soon!
Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and again!
Jordan was absolutely wonderful with both of our dogs! We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in her care, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about making sure they were both happy and well taken care of. She was reliable, attentive, and handled having two pups perfectly. We came home to two very happy dogs! We would absolutely book with Jordan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pups.
Lenny is great! She is my go to sitter for cats/dogs (5 total) every time we are out of town. This time it was just 2 cats as we took dogs with us but she did everything according to instructions and even went above and beyond when asked to water plants outside. Always, can rely on her for my animals to be well taken care off!
I couldn’t be happier with the care Kaitlyn provided! She did an absolutely amazing job and made the entire experience completely stress-free. She was reliable, attentive, communicative, and clearly put a lot of care into making sure everything was taken care of while I was away. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, dependable, and caring sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future. Thank you so much!

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.
