“Stephanie came and did drop in visits for my 2 kitties for 10 days!! Big trip and the whole time it was peaceful and easy to communicate with her. She is very loving to animals and seems to naturally understand them. I really would highly recommend her!”
“Chloe walked my dog for me and was great so I came back to her when I was out of town with my animals just to water my plants 😂 and she did! I asked her and she did it the next day. So helpful and flexible and nice!!!!”
About: i’ve taken care of animals for about 8 years now. i have also had at least 1 dog and cat for my entire life. i have 3 dogs and a cat myself (including a 16 year old beagle)!! i love animals soso much and think they deserve the absolute best from everyone. i often drive around handing out pet supplies to homeless with animals as well. im currently part time in school and work! i usually have class 8am-1pm but have an awkward break until work at 4pm-11pm. on my off days i am completely available and always looking for stuff to do! i have a fenced in yard for my 3 dogs and keep my cat inside. i often take one of the dogs to run errands with me and explore for some enrichment and fun! i don’t take my elderly dog (16) out too much due to his lipomas (fat tumors- typical for beagles) interfering with his hip/leg movement during long walks. he does get plenty of attention and fun at home though!
“Ariana took great care of our pups while we were out of town! They were tired when we came home from playing with her dogs 😊 she was responsive and sent updates, which we loved. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Heather did a meet & greet the day before we had her scheduled. She was a great fit for our two Golden Retrievers. She completed both visits including notes and pictures. We will definitely use Heather again!”
About: Hi! I'm Elaina. Most of my pet experience has been caring for my dog Bo, a sweet, goofy German Shepherd I adopted in 2016. We were best buddies for 10 years before he passed, and I miss him every day! He truly changed my life. I've also watched my friends' dogs for years, including mini poodles, beagles, Australian shepherds, pit bulls, multiple dogs at once, watching in my home and theirs. I also temporarily foster for a rescue sometimes. I have experience giving oral medications and subcutaneous injections to my dog, and oral meds to some of the rescue dogs I’ve temp fostered. I have multiple dog beds, bowls, and a large crate I can use if your dogs like a crate! I have a mostly fenced yard (open at the front, but I have a back section that closes and is fully fenced). I love walking every day, and I work a hybrid schedule, working from home three days a week. I live about 10 minutes from my office, so I can check in over lunch when I'm in the office. I love hanging out with dogs and I'm looking forward to making some new puppy friends! I'm a pretty easygoing and patient person. I understand dogs are different, some need different things, some might have accidents and might need to adjust to a new place. I'm here to help and make them feel safe and cared for and loved. My home can be their vacation home while you are away! I work from home three days a week and I'm in the office two days a week. I live 10 mins from my office so can come home over lunch. Currently the in-office days rotate each week, but I’m always home on Fridays. I take a good walk every morning, and maybe another in the afternoon or evening if the weather is nice! At my house I have a mostly fenced in yard (open at the front near the driveway, and fenced around the sides and back, with a section in the back that closes and is fully fenced, so there's an area they can run around). I have three dog beds I'll put out around the house, dog bowls, and a large crate I can put out if they use a crate. They're welcome on the couch and bed. I'll treat them like they're family! I'll stick to whatever feeding schedule and care instructions you provide.
About: Hi, I'm Agrima! I've spent plenty of time caring for my friends' pets and have worked at an animal shelter for a year. I absolutely love animals but a dog of my own isn't quite in the cards on a grad student budget just yet. That's exactly why I joined Rover, it gives me a doggo to walk, snuggle, and play with and it gives you someone who's genuinely excited to see your dog. I would love nothing more than to take care of your fur baby and give them all the love and attention they deserve! I'm also in a really dog-friendly, walkable neighborhood, a short walk from Centennial Park, so there's no shortage of green space, walking paths, and ways to keep your furry friend happy and entertained. I also love going for morning and evening jogs so your pet will get plenty of exercise. I'm a grad student, so my schedule is genuinely flexible. I can plan my days around your pup's routine. Midday walks, feeding times, or check-ins that a 9-to-5 can't cover are exactly where I can help. I live in a gated community with its own dog park, just minutes from Centennial Park, plenty of secure space for play and longer walks. Pups in my care are never left outside unsupervised and cared for exactly the way you'd do it yourself.
About: I love animals of all kinds! I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and have watched over family and friends’ pets. I am new to Nashville and looking to connect with some new furry friends! I work full time during the week, so my availability is primarily on the weekends and late evenings. I enjoy going on walks, visiting parks, and playing with dogs! I live in an apartment by myself and do not currently have any pets of my own. I prefer visits to your home to make sure your pet is safe and has what they need to be comfortable!
About: I have taken care of people dog and cats since i was 13 years old. I have house sat for two dogs and cats for 3 months while their owner was on a business trip! I love animals and I enjoy spoiling them. I work remote most of the time so I can take a break and visit your pet or home sit! I will walk them, take them on potty breaks, play with them. Whatever they need and if you need me to do something for them say less I will be there! I always make room for your babies! I provide care in the pet’s home or my home by keeping their routine as consistent and comfortable as possible. I will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific needs or preferences.
About: As a dedicated dog parent to a sweet, well-trained 2-year-old, GSP pup, I understand the importance of consistent care, positive reinforcement, and a loving environment. My dog is crate trained, obedient, high energy, and great with other dogs, so your pet will have a friendly companion during their stay. My hands-on experience raising and training my own dog has given me a strong understanding of canine behavior, routines, and needs. I’m confident handling feeding, exercise, and providing a safe, loving environment. Whether your dog is playful or prefers quiet companionship, I’ll make sure they feel at home. We are foster parents so there could potentially be a child in our home ranging from 0-10 years of age. I'm a real estate agent with a flexible schedule, which allows me to be home often and provide plenty of attention to the dogs in our care. We are foster parents so there are times where we will have a child in our home from the 0-10 range. I’m typically at the office Tuesday through Thursday from 8 AM to 12 PM and home by lunchtime. Each afternoon, I take our dog on a walk to a nearby soccer field for some fresh air and exercise. On other days, I may run an errand or have the occasional house showing, but I’m rarely away for long periods. Our dog is showered with love and attention every day, and your pup will be treated just like part of the family. We have a sweet, house-trained 2-year-old dog who no longer uses a crate during the day. She’s gentle, well-behaved, and gets along great with other dogs. If your pup is also house-trained, they’re welcome to be out and about with her. If your dog is more comfortable being crated when no one’s home, we’re happy to follow your routine—we’ve hosted plenty of crate-trained dogs and want them to feel safe and secure. We have a fully fenced backyard for safe playtime and also take daily walks to a nearby soccer field, so your dog will get plenty of exercise and fresh air.
“Dana was great! She checked in on our cats while we were on vacation, and she did a wonderful job taking care of them. We were afraid the cats would stay hidden, but they came out to greet her each time she stopped by and she was able to send us some VERY CUTE pictures while we were away!”
“We are repeat customers and always feel great leaving our senior cat in Amy’s care. She’s very reliable, goes above and beyond, and gives our boy the extra attention he needs with twice daily insulin shots.”

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.
