“I believe this is the 3rd time using Bonnie.... but as always my pets were taken care of. Apparently my cat is warming up to her very well because he gets the zoomies and was playing with her. Lol! She just does exactly what is needed and gives them a lot of attention.”
“This was the longest we’ve ever been away from our dogs, and honestly—I wasn’t worried for a second. Emily is just that good. Her communication is always on point, and I can count on her without hesitation. My dogs absolutely love her, and it shows in every photo she sends—big smiles, happy corgi tails, and all the good vibes. She truly goes above and beyond every time, and we’re so grateful for the care and love she gives our pets. Highly, highly recommend.”
About: I am home full time , available through the week and weekends. I am ready to care for your baby as much as you need. Being raised around animals my whole life, my experience with them are remarkable. Animals easily bond to me. My special skills require recognizing behavioral Signals, recognizing basic health problems, dog handling, and basic training skills. Knowledge of proper grooming (baths, brushing, and pampering needed). . I will provide your dog with a lot of exercise and socializing opportunities thought out the day and as well as love and TONS of fun time. We will enjoy walks, playing fetch, or just lots of belly rubs. I am home most of the time as in right now. I have no pets . . . . . . . . . . Must provide leashes for walks. Must be snug and safe, must fit appropriately. . . . . . . . . . . . .
“Jurnee did an amazing job checking in on our two pups while we were away for the weekend. She was extremely accommodating and understanding of our wild pups that are full of personality. She didn’t skip a beat and went above and beyond! Will definitely utilize her services again!”
About: I grew up owning dogs so I know the basics for them. I more recently have gotten a cat. I have previously fostered 7 kittens at a time so I know I can handle whatever comes my way! I work full time on the weekdays so I have time on the weekends to check up and help out with your pets then! I can’t wait to meet your pets! I have watched and sat many pets for friends and families so it has given me plenty of experience. As a pet owner myself I know how to react incase of emergencies.
“We went on a cruise and hired our first pet sitter. We were so nervous about it but Breanna went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and informed. She came and met our dog beforehand, and explained how things work and met Maverick and made me feel very comfortable with the whole thing. She did an amazing job caring for our pets and sent photos with updates everyday. She even vacuumed up my dogs hair!!! Can’t recommend her enough.”
About: I have had pets since I was 8 years old including cats, dogs, rats, mice, fish, and horses. I absolutely love animals and enjoy spending time with them over anything else. I have trained 4 of my own dogs and have assisted in training two others. I have dog and cat-sit for multiple people and have even taken care of a rabbit on multiple occasions. I am always happy to work with animals. I also have experience bathing animals, including those with fleas. I am also familiar with administrating various medications. I am currently in medical school full-time but usually have afternoons/evenings and most weekends free! I’d love to make use of my open time caring for animals. I keep a diligent eye on pets and ensure they are properly fed, have clean water, get their play time/exercise, and ensure that their behavior is normal for them. I also love to send updates on how your pets are doing!
About: I LOVE all dogs! I have had a dog in my life since I was 4, with large and medium sizes being my bread and butter. I know the little dogs can be timid but I can snuggle them until they tolerate me 😬. I am a millennial dog/cat mom, so you know I love scritches, belly rubs, snuggles, and giving treat-o’s. My dog doesn’t fetch but I’ll play with yours til the cows come home! I worked for a dog groomer as the bathing attendant for two summers as a kid, so if your babies need a quick bath while I’m there, depending on how they can handle it with a new person, I am available. I’m versed in giving pets medication, so no need to worry if your pupper needs a little something to help them stay healthy! I work from home full time currently, but if I need to leave during the day to go check on your fur baby/they’re on a bathroom/medication schedule, my boss is very lenient and lets me make up time. Walks would primarily only be available in the afternoons/evenings to avoid the heat around here. I am very organized and like to write down any rules/quirks/schedules that your pet needs to be on. I’m also not afraid to ask/answer questions, so if you’re open to conversations via the app, I’m your girl!
About: I like animals and have always been wanting to watch over them during my free time. I also enjoy spending time with them either from petting them, walking them or playing around with them. I currently work 2 part time jobs which allows me to have more free time in the afternoon and evening to check up on your animals I have an indoor cat which allows her to freely run around without having to be outside and with this experience I am able to watch other indoor cats and I can take care of indoor/ outdoor dogs as well
About: I’ve taken care of older dogs and young pups ever since I was 8 family dogs and guard dogs and family friends trust me with there fur babies I’d love to get out there a see the world a little more with a four legged friend I’m normally streaming or gaming in general if not I’m outside with my fur baby and if I’m not doing that I’ll hopefully be doing this I plan on getting a barndominium built and then start a business taking care of dogs with my wife. Then I’ll have separate caged areas where its climate controlled and an outdoor environment where fights can’t happen and they can go in or out as they please

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.
