“Cade and Isabel are the best! I was so reassured having them care for Pico. They truly cared for him like he was their own! I highly recommend them to others and will be booking them again!”
“Thank you so so much for taking good care of our cats!! Desiree is the best. She is experienced, detailed and very communicated! Highly recommend and will definitely ask her to take care of our cats again:) Thank you!”
“Wow, what an amazing Sitter!!! Sadly I didn’t get to meet Alexandra but what a gem! She took care of my little baby as if she were her own, and she was so wonderful about keeping the lines of communication open while I was away. I can’t wait to book her again and I know that Babs is even more excited than I am! Thank you Alexandra!”
“My puppy came back in better shape than I left her. More mature and regulated, as well as freshly bathed. We both learned from the experience, care, and respect we received from these extremely competent sitters!”
“Anna-Kati is great! I can tell she is a true dog lover. She takes great care of my pups and is very respectful and responsive! Will definitely hire again (already have) 😊”
About: I have been a dog owner for the majority of my life and have provided reliable care to my friends’ pets for about 5 years. I have experience caring for puppies as well as multiple animals at once. I am a student at the University of Florida, but I have a mostly open schedule. I’m available all day on weekends, every weekday morning before 10 AM, after 11:30 AM every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and after 5 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I plan to maintain a safe environment for any animal, and I will cater the experience to each pet and their individual needs. It is important to me that your pet feels as comfortable as possible, whether that be in your home or mine. I will care for your pet according to your desired schedule to ensure they experience care and consistency even when away from their loving owner.
About: The loss of my very first cat (and best friend) happened because of a neglectful pet sitter. Ever since then, it is my goal to offer the safest and kindest care possible to all animals that I meet. Services Offered: -Tailored in-home pet sitting and visitations based on your pet’s individual needs and routines. -Playtime, interaction, and walkouts for dogs. -Feeding, provision of fresh water, and thorough maintenance of their cages/boxes/litters. -Professionally offering oral medication, treatment, and senior pet care. -Consistent photo and video updates at each visitation. Experience in Pet Care: Many years spent caring for the pets of my relatives, friends, and neighbors provided me with a vast and versatile experience. The experience includes the care of active large breeds, delicate small dogs, nursing vulnerable newborns of kittens, and medication schedules of senior cats. In my teens, people brought stray animals to my place for rehabilitation and treatment. Availability and Schedule: My flexible schedule is possible due to being a full-time student. My classes are carefully scheduled so that my pets will never be left alone for too long. I do not have a job outside of classes which allows for many free hours to see my clients midday, interact and give them personal care. I am a UF student who has class late morning/early afternoon. When I wake up I have a cuddle session with my cat and open the door for his little sister to join him. After I am done with classes I usually study, relax at my house with my cats and recently car train them and socialize them with unsocialized cats. This time is perfect for me to come visit or board a cat at home since I am generally home from 2-3pm until the rest of the day. I live in a cat/kitten proof apartment with a closed patio. There is a lot of toys, and two cat trees. I am very patient with cats and educated on ways to make them as comfortable as possible in a new/ stressful environnement.
About: I have had a dog since I was a kid and taken care of friends' dogs too. I love animals and will make your dog my own. I am not doing this to make money (that is why my prices are lower than most) but to teach my daughter responsibility. She loves dogs and all the money is going to her as she is my little assistant. I currently work full-time, but will take your dog on long walks (if desired) and give your little boy/girl lots of love and attention. If needed, I can come home during the day to let your dog out. We provide a warm, safe, and fun-filled home with lots of room, toys, and a kid to take care of and love your pup.
About: I am the owner of two rescue black labs, Lucy and Maggie, as well as the best little orange domestic shorthair named Soup. I’ve always had pets growing up, so caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love all cats and dogs and understand that they need love, attention, exercise, patience, and care just like we do. I’ll always do my best to make your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I am a part-time kennel technician at a local animal hospital as well so I have experience with a large range of cats and dogs and love learning their personality and the best way i can comfort them. I have a flexible schedule, so fitting in dog walks and pet visits is easier for you. Your pet’s comfort and well-being will always be my priority! I will follow your instructions first and foremost. My goal is to give you peace of mind and to make your pet comfortable and happy while you are away. I will treat your home with the same respect and care that I take in my own home (locking gates, doors, and returning things to where they belong). I am happy to send updates and photos of your furry friend as well :)
About: I’ve had a dog for as long as I can remember and family and friends have always relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while away. I’ve taken care of anywhere from small dogs for large dogs and even fish. I am currently a 4th year college student so I will have plenty of time on the weekdays and weekends. My schedule is very flexible all days of the week. I live at a safe apartment complex and I have no pets of my own so your pet will be safe and sound. I have a couple dog toys that I am more than happy to share.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I’ve been dog sitting for a few years for friends and decided to expand. I’ve always loved being around them no matter the breed, or size. They fill me with so much joy. With my new puppy she was a rescue, she wouldn’t come up to anyone but me and I ended up being the one to make her comfortable. I only work part time, so i’ll have plenty of time to hang around and take care of dogs! They will always have my undivided attention. I constantly take them outside to play, depending how energetic they are. I make sure they always have water, and I show them all the attention they need.
“Sam was amazing!! Came for an introduction before the house visits. Very good with her communication and kept us up to date with how our Kitties were while we were gone. 10/10 will book again!”
“Anas & Tate watched my 3 month old puppy for 3 days while I was away on a trip with prompt checkins. They were very attentive, caring and patient with my puppy who is teething. They took her on daily walks and even taught her a trick. We will definitely be using them again in the future!”
About: Throughout the past few years, I've sat for several of my neighbors and friend’s dogs, from yorkies to pit bulls. This includes both walks and visits to provide food, water, and fun. Caring for my own dog, Charlotte, in recent years has given me experience in caring for senior dogs. This includes accommodating for hearing loss, blindness, low energy, and stomach problems. I am a student at UF looking for a fun way to spend my free time. My current schedule somewhat flexible other than my classes. On Monday, Wednesday, Friday, I am free early mornings until 8:00 AM, around noon, and in the evenings. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available all morning until 11:30 and in the evenings after 5:00 PM. Weekends that are marked as available are flexible. This works around my classes schedule, volunteering, and other obligations. Safety is my number one priority when caring for your best friend(s). When walking dogs in Florida, I have found it extremely important to monitor the weather and your pets breathing. I will always ensure they have access to enough water and food at meal time. And if they’re allowed, I love giving them the occasional treat.

About: Grew up with two cats in Massachusetts and spent a lot of time taking care of dogs over the Summer in Alaska. Recently graduated with a Master's degree from UF. Currently living by myself and I have plenty of time and space to take care of animals. I can accommodate any time that is convenient for pet owners. Luckily I can make my own schedule since I work as a valet manager and sales manager. I make sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I take pride in ensuring the pets are safe, secure, and loved whenever I'm with them.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Hills
We had Vanessa watch our two dogs and couldn’t be happier! We did a meet and greet first, and both dogs took to her right away. Daisy, our high-energy almost 1-year-old 56 lb American Staffordshire/pit mix, warmed up to her instantly. Nanook, our 8 lb min pin/chihuahua mix who can be standoffish and needs a few minutes to warm up to new people, also came around quickly with Vanessa. She let them out twice during her visit, and it was clear the dogs were comfortable and happy with her. It’s such a relief to be able to leave our babies with someone and not feel stressed or worried — we know they’re in good hands. We’ll definitely be booking Vanessa again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, dog-friendly sitter!
Evelynn was very kind when I met her during our meet and greet, and she did a wonderful job with my dog Zoe who can be quite reactive and a bit nervous at times. She was very communicative with me and followed all of my directions perfectly! Overall, she did an amazing job with both my animals!

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.
