About: My love of animals eventually became much more than just having pets of my own. I started pet sitting and fostering for a rescue, and that experience is what led me into veterinary medicine. For over a decade, I have been working in a veterinary hospital, where I gained years of experience caring for pets with all kinds of personalities and needs. My veterinary background taught me to pay attention to the little things. I’m comfortable caring for multiple-pet households, senior pets, puppies, giving medications, and pets who may need a little extra patience or attention. I also know the importance of noticing changes in behavior, appetite, mobility or just those little signs that something may not be quite right and communicating those concerns to the pet owner. When I visit your furbabies, I want their routine to stay as normal as possible while you’re away. Some want to play outside, some want a good game of fetch or a short walk and some would much rather spend our visit getting belly rubs and snuggles. I’m happy to follow their lead or the owners instructions. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s hands. I take that responsibility seriously and will care for your furbabies the way I would want someone to care for mine. I have a flexible schedule and I am available to offer drop in visits in the morning, mid afternoon and/or evenings. I can accommodate multiple visits per day if needed. Every pet and home is different, so I follow the routine and safety practices you already have in place. Whether your pet is crate trained, uses a fenced yard, needs to be on a lead or leash outside, or has other specific instructions, I’m comfortable adapting to what works best for them. I’ll make sure doors, gates, crates and leashes are secure, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and follow your feeding, medication and care instructions. My goal is to keep your furbabies safe, comfortable and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.
About: As a true animal lover, I've taken care of several different kinds of pets over the years. I worked as a vet tech for 8 years and still miss it to this day. I am extremely comfortable with administering medication and am happy to sit pets of all ages! I am a cat mom to a 16 year old spoiled rotten fur baby. I work from home and am available for drop in visits or walks anytime. I have a very calm demeanor and like to work with seniors and shy pets as well! I'm currently taking a break from healthcare and would like to make pet sitting my full time job. I am available anytime, any day. I have taken care of the pets of friends and family for years. I am willing to clean up any messes or accidents that may have occurred and I will treat your home like it is my own. I am a bit of a neat freak, detail oriented and I know that routines and time of day is of extreme importance to pets.
About: My history with dogs began when I got my first dog, a Bichon/poodle mix when she was a puppy and I was 4 years old. Muffy was a wonderful dog who happily played with everyone in our large family. Over the years I've had Lab mixes, Golden Retriever mixes, and stock dogs. My current family includes lots of dogs, cats, a few horses, a couple of goats, and a cow. Over the years I've taken care of friends and acquaintances places when needed. It is in my nature to help others. I really enjoy feeding, watering, and taking care of pets and livestock. I have a good understanding from the house dog, to the working dog, as I've been around both. Please feel free to contact me about caring for any of your pets. Exercise, along with food and clean water, are fundamental for your animal to perform and behave it's best. So daily walks/runs, playing ball, chasing a laser light, e.t.c. whatever your pet enjoys are key to maintaining a happy, healthy animal. Pet care is already a daily commitment for myself, with several dogs, two cats, a handful of horses, and a couple of pet goats the chores are daily. I’m comfortable around all domesticated animals. Adding additional animals to my routine is nothing new. Dogs Your dogs are welcome to be in and outside of the house. We have a large 3/4 fenced yard with a couple of welded wire kennels. Your dog can spend time with me getting chores done on or off a leash. If you’d prefer for your fur baby to be in a fenced yard they can spend time in a large kennel. If I’m at your place I’ll follow the routine they are use to. Cats I have a bedroom for your cat to wonder around in with a bed to lay on.
About: I’ve baby sat dogs since 12, I love animals and my family has had a dog since I was five. I trained our family beagle and while she has passed away she really gave me a love for dogs and all other animals. I wish I could really get my own dog but I don’t have the living situation right now. I would love to meet and take care of your animal. I’m currently working part time usually 27-30 hours a week. I’ll have time every day to check on and walk/spend at least an hour or two with your pet. I have a very flexible schedule and can work to accommodate your pet. I cannot have pets at my current place but I am happy to walk or babysit your pet from your place. I know some great dog parks and would love to take your pet out for some fun.

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.
