About: Ever since I was a child, I have always been a pet sitter. For as long as I can remember, I have walked, dropped in, and boarded pets of neighbor, friend, and family member. I especially love working and specialize with high energy dogs that need their daily zoomies. Additionally, as a former dog owner myself, I am familiar with what’s needed to keep your pup happy! I’m currently a law student, but I am go-getter and will find the time to fit your pets with my current class schedule. My availability is as follows: Monday: 4-10pm Tuesday: 2-10pm Wednesday: 7am-1pm. Thursday 11:00am-10pm Friday 1pm-10pm Saturday and Sunday: All Day availability I will be comfortable with whatever tasks you require of me to ensure your pets are well-taken care of; whether it be dropping in just to feed them, playing with them, etc. For walks, I’m comfortable with any level of activity necessary. Whether it’s just around the block or entire neighborhood, I will have no issues keeping up with your pet!
“This is the second time we’ve booked drop in visits with Tara. She is flexible, attentive, and caring. She has great communication skills and keeps us updated with photos and messages. And our cats love her! Recommend her wholeheartedly!”
“Jalyne is wonderful. She was helpful and communicated on a regular basis. This is my 2nd time booking her to care for my cat while on an extended holiday. I highly recommend her.”
“Elizaveta was a great walker! She was communicative, able to accommodate a somewhat last-minute booking, and gave really nice updates, photos, and videos during her visit. We will definitely be repeat customers in the future!”
“Craig was amazing! He helped me out tremendously when I needed a dog sitter last minute for my 5 month old puppy. Not only did he provide me with pictures and details about his visits throughout the week, he also taught my puppy patience when it comes to feeding time and other ways to address her nipping. I would highly recommend Craig and would definitely use him again in the future!”
“Michael and Alyssa were great with my dogs, Tokyo and Milan. They followed everything exactly how I asked, which I really appreciated. It made me feel a lot more comfortable knowing my dogs were in good hands. Tokyo and Milan were well taken care of, stayed on their normal routine, and seemed really happy. I also liked getting updates while I was away , it helped me relax knowing everything was going smoothly. I’d definitely trust Michael and Alyssa again and would recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and attentive dog sitters.”
About: I am a just starting at Pace Law and missing my animals deeply. I have made a summer job the past few years dog sitting. I have a wide variety of experience, from caring for three 60lbs+ lap dogs for a week to three cats I would barely see. I love every animal like it is my own (smothered in love) and I make sure to take lots of pictures (I can’t help it!). I am starting my law school journey and I am looking to schedule in some animal time. I am completely free after 4 most days for walks or dinner time and have open weekends. I have lots of experience with animals of many different needs and can easily adapt to instruction. I will be sure to love your baby and provide care above and beyond.
About: I've had pets my whole life, both dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes. I am especially able to take care of animals with health issues. My current cat, Oliver has 3 legs and my dog, Chewy, has epilepsy. I'm currently a law student, so I have time to pet sit and take your pets for a walk after classes on weekdays and on weekends. I am able to take care of pets in your home. I have reliable transportation so I can be there when you and your pet need me. I am detail-oriented and will do my best to follow any schedules or instructions you have for your pet.
“Mikaela was an excellent sitter!! My kitties loved spending time with her and I felt very comfortable with her watching them! She went above and beyond taking care of them! 10/10 would recommend!!”
About: Hi! I’m Kelly, a lifelong animal lover, professional treat-giver, and former dog mom to my sweet girl, Princess, for 13.5 amazing years. From daily walks to medication routines, I’ve handled it all with love and care. Whether your fur baby needs a snuggle buddy, a midday walk, or someone to keep an eye on them while you’re away, I’ve got you covered! I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and have my own vehicle, so I’m reliable and flexible when it comes to pick-ups, drop-offs, or emergency needs. I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pet, and I treat every animal like my own. Let’s connect! I’d love to meet your pup and become their new favorite human! Pet care fits into my routine pretty seamlessly. Honestly, hanging out with animals is one of the best parts of my week! I have a flexible schedule, my own car, and I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. Whether it’s a quick drop-in, a walk around the block, or a weekend stay, I make the time because I truly love being around animals. After 13.5 years with my own dog, it just feels natural to keep giving that kind of love and care to other pets. I live in a pet-friendly community with lots of green space, so walks and visits are easy to work into my day. I'm also more than happy to pet sit in your own home if that's what you prefer.
““I can’t recommend her highly enough! She takes wonderful care of my cats whenever I’m away, and it gives me so much peace of mind knowing they’re in such good hands. She is easy, breezy, and incredibly kind—always reliable, communicative, and attentive to their needs. My cats are comfortable and happy with her, which says everything. It’s clear she genuinely cares for animals, and I’m very grateful to have found someone I trust completely. I will definitely continue using her services for future trips!””
“!!WOW!! We had such an amazing experience with Andrew and we are thrilled to know we can continue to rely on him to help us watch our little babies! We had last minute sitting changes and needed to find someone to watch our two dogs during a holiday weekend the night before. Andrew was quick to respond and worked magic with his schedule in order to help us on such short notice! His communication while we were away was fantastic, full of sweet messages and pictures!! We felt so comforted knowing Andrew was there to be with them and take care of them. We will absolutely be asking him to help us out for all of our future trips and sitting needs for them!”
About: I’m an experienced dog foster with SPDA, providing temporary care for dogs who need a safe, loving home while they wait for their next step. I also have experience caring for dogs for extended periods of time, including following their routines, feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and individual needs. I’m patient, responsible, and attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort. I treat every pet in my care like family and understand how important it is to give pet parents peace of mind while they’re away. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate pet care throughout the week, including occasional and short-term bookings. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and boarding depending on the dates and your pet’s needs. I’m happy to work with each owner’s schedule and provide consistent, reliable care. I provide a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where pets can feel safe and comfortable. I currently don’t have any other pets in my home, so your pet can have their own dedicated space if needed. As a foster with SPDA, I understand the importance of patience, supervision, and following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I’m also happy to follow specific instructions from pet parents to make their pets feel at home.
About: I’ve cared for dogs for family and friends over the years, including walks, feeding, playtime, and keeping pets comfortable while their owners are away. I’m calm, patient, and attentive, and I like sending photo updates so pet parents know their pets are safe and cared for. My schedule is flexible, and I can usually help with drop in visits, walks, and pet care during the week or on weekends. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine for feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I prefer clear instructions so your pet stays comfortable and on schedule. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding, leash rules, medication notes, litter cleanup, and home access details. I keep pets supervised, use secure leashes, and send updates/photos during visits. I do not currently have pets of my own, so I can give each pet my full attention.

With Craig (and his wife) you are in absolutely the best hands. I can't thank them enough for taking care of Buddy while I went away for a week. My dog is a lg hair mini dachshund who is a very sensitive, loving, affectionate dog but he has trouble warming up at first to brand new people. Craig understood the situation right away and in no time Buddy was happily playing with him, walking and even giving kisses. My neighbors all remarked how Buddy seemed to handle my absence like a champ this time without the saddness/depression he had shown other times before. Such a relief to have found someone that I can totally trust and depend on to take care of my lil guy. Thanks again Craig you are a life saver.
I cannot speak highly enough of Brandon. My shy boys have really warmed to him over 4 engagements across a couple of years. He is very attentive, takes good care of the boys, and respectful of my house (very important to me when someone is in my house when I'm away). On this trip I had to extend my travels by a couple of days and fortunately Brandon was flexible and stayed on an extra 2 days which helped massively in a very stressful situation. I feel lucky to have found Brandon and know I can safely go away knowing my cats are in such safe hands
Heather was so caring and responsive! As a new and slightly anxious fur mom, I really appreciated the pics and updates. She took great care of my baby while I was out of town, and it made it so much easier to relax and enjoy my time away knowing Princess was eating, getting some playtime, and in such good hands. I definitely recommend Heather!
Youjin is the best in the neighborhood! My dog was so well taken care of, and I could tell he was happy and comfortable with her. She was caring, reliable, and kept me updated during each visit. I’m so glad I found her and would definitely book with her again!
I’ve only had one experience with Janelle so far but I know/hope there will be more. I reached out very last minute (two days before needing help) and she responded right away, was able to make a FaceTime meet & greet and my puppy loved her. She was lovely to work with and I felt like my little 3 month old guy was in great loving hands.
Cynthia did an amazing job taking care of our cats! Both of them were very well cared for and happy when we got back. She was attentive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cared about them. We really appreciated the updates and knowing they were in such good hands. We would absolutely recommend Cynthia and would love to have her take care of our cats again!
Amy did an incredible job taking care of our cat Ash! He was well taken care of and enjoyed spending time with her – Amy was incredibly communicative in letting us know constant updates on how Ash was doing. She even made time to get to know us, Ash, and our home better before our trip. We're incredibly thankful for her help over the holidays!

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.

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 use the 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.
