“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Kelli was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. She has experience with older dogs, which we appreciated. She came by for a meet and greet a few days before the appointment and our dog loved her. She took some time to get to know him and seemed to really enjoy doing it. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I’ve grown up around pets my whole life and have been taking care of my own pets for 11 years now. My family have relied on me to take care of their dogs while on vacation. I would love to extend my love for animals by helping you take care of your fur babies when you’re not able to. I’m currently working full time. I’m able care to for your pet’s needs before I go to work and after I get home from work. I always feed and water my pets in the morning and let my dog outside in our fence in yard to use the bathroom. Then when I get home from work I make sure my pets have water, will fed my dog again, and take him outside to use the bathroom. I try to take my dog on a daily walk every evening. On the weekends I don’t work so I’m able to tend to the pets more. I have a fenced in yard and a friendly dog to keep your pet company. I also have two cats that are very friendly as well. I know how it is to be away from your fur babies so I will make sure to send lots of pictures and updates.
“Riley was great with Harper B! Riley came by to meet Harper before the drop-in visit. It's clear she has experience with dogs and is easy-going. The day-of, she sent me many photos of Harper having a great time playing in the yard. And when I came home, Harper was relaxed and calm because she'd had such fun mid-day with Riley.”
“Carly and Kendric were wonderful! They were able to take our request pretty last minute which was nice. They were also super thorough, shared plenty of pictures, and kept us updated. Our cats can be kind of skiddish around new people but it seems like they did great with Carly and Kendric. It was an overall excellent experience!”
About: I have 17 years experience in the veterinary service field. I am skilled at giving both oral and injectable medications on a regular basis. I am trained in fear free handling and believe in positive reinforcement training. My work schedule is generally Tuesday 6:45a-2pm, Wed and Thursday 7am-7pm, Fri 12pm-7pm and every other Saturday 8am to 1pm. If you are looking for a person with a passion for animals and the experience to back it up please reach out. I would absolutely love to be your pets new best friend! Right now I am in between jobs so my availability is very open. The only real work around will be the puppy I currently have. My care of your pets will be solely dependent on you and your family’s requests. Every family has different wants for what they are working on with their dog so I am highly flexible to help with that.
About: I have had pets since I was a child. I have rescue cats and doggos. My dog and cat are seniors. Every pet deserves a healthy and loving home. I have experience administering medication as one of my rescues was epileptic and needed daily meds and eye drops. I do have professional experience working for a dog daycare!! I love animals and will always advocate for those precious innocent souls that don’t have a voice. I work part time at a doggy daycare, I’m also a part time RBT working with children and young adults. Due to an inconsistent schedule as an RBT, I’m looking forward to being able to help care for animals. There is a space for doggies to walk around. No fence so they will stay on a leash and always be attended to and watched. There is a large park across the street that is perfect for walks and large trees to provide plenty of shade.
About: I’m a retired professional who has cared for both dogs and cats when my kids were away at college. This included feeding, playing, and keeping up with training. Although I am new to professional pet-sitting, I’m reliable and committed to the happiness and wellbeing of your beloved pets. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week, 8am to 6pm. I am familiar with caring for both dogs and cats. My previous experience includes feeding, playing, walking, and training regimes like crate training and potty training.
About: I have been obsessed with dogs since I was little. Always wanting to have one, pet one, and just interact with one. I currently have a GSD, who is a handful, that I love dearly. I’m currently working 12 hour shifts with a rotating schedule. My available days change every week, but I know my schedule very far out in advance. I am very mindful of doors being closed all the way before and after taking your furry baby for a walk. Will provide them with water and treats before and after. I can also put them back into their crate before leaving if required.
About: I have always had dogs my whole life. I rescued my dog Mary from the shelter & trained her out of her bad habit of relieving herself wherever & whenever she wanted that she had learned from the shelter. I also trained her myself to sit, stay, lay down, & shake. I’m gentle with animals & love to share love with them all ❤️ treats? We gotta have them! I am currently not working and have been looking for ways to make some money while pregnant. I am available at all times, whenever you need me. I have a fenced in yard, a sweet puppy dog named Mary that loves to play & have company :) I will be intentional if you have special care requests. I always strive for above and beyond for cleanliness, care & love!
About: I have professional experience working in veterinary medicine and providing compassionate, attentive care to animals with a wide range of personalities and needs. Through my experience, I have developed skills in recognizing changes in behavior, safely handling pets, administering medications when directed, monitoring overall health and comfort, and helping reduce stress during care. I’m comfortable caring for energetic pets, senior pets, and animals that may need extra patience or attention. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important trust, communication, and consistency are. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are in experienced and caring hands. I work full-time Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM–6:00 PM, with Thursdays and weekends off, but I still make time to provide dependable pet care around my schedule. I’m available for morning drop-ins, evening visits, overnight care when planned in advance, and have greater flexibility on Thursdays and weekends for longer visits, walks, and quality time. I understand how important routines are for pets and will work with owners to make sure their pets receive consistent, attentive care that fits their needs. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. With my background in veterinary medicine and hands-on animal care experience, I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any signs that a pet may be stressed or uncomfortable. I believe trust is built through communication, consistency, and treating every animal with patience and respect. I work to create a calm, safe, and positive environment where pets can feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away, and I provide updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in caring and experienced hands.
About: Prior to college I worked Noah's Caring Hands on Sunnyside Road as a pet care specialist. I worked there for almost 4 years, and I am experienced in all ranges of dog/cat ages and needs. Additionally, I have experience administering medication to animals and following specific dietary needs. I am experienced with daycare and boarding animals, and would be more than happy to care for your furry friend! I am available to cat/dog sit and walk for a majority of the weekends or evenings! I am pretty flexible after 4 pm on weekdays and anytime on weekends. I had a 17 year old dog whom I administered medications and treatments for throughout his long lifespan. Additionally I have a kitten. While my dog was alive he enjoyed hugs and kisses especially after medication time! After working with him for years and the other animals at the veterinary hospital I have become used to all age ranges and medical needs of each animal (cat and dog).
About: Animals are my life and I believe they deserve nothing but the best. I've had 2 years of boarding experience with Indiana's top boarding facility as a team lead. I've had lots of experience with several cats and dogs of varying needs and temperaments. I am very practiced with specific medication administration (including injections and nebulizers), specific dietary needs/restrictions, and animals with a wide variety of special needs (blindness, deafness, mobility issues, diabetes, epilepsy, and senior needs). My dedication to providing animals with the care and attention they deserve knows no bounds. Most of my day right now is spent with my miniature schnauzer, Cocoa. For about 2 years I have devoted a large amount of my time to dog and cat care in a professional facility, from boarding to daycare. I only stepped away because I wanted to pursue an education as a vet tech. Animal care is, in every sense, my passion and career. I like to tailor my care to what will fit both the owner's needs and the pet's needs. Taking time to really get to know an animal and build that trust with them is a MUST. I believe communication is of the utmost importance and something I pride myself on when it comes to owners and their comfort and peace of mind while away from their furry family member. At the end of the day, they aren't just leaving a pet, they're leaving a family member in the care of a stranger. It's my duty to make myself someone you can feel your baby is safe and happy with.
About: Growing up alongside German Shepherds, Labs, cats, and even hermit crabs taught me early on that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy learning the ropes or a sweet senior dog soaking up gentle, relaxing golden years, I meet them right at their pace. When your pet is in my care, they're treated like family—complete with consistent routines, plenty of attention, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your pet to make sure we’re a great match! I am currently getting my master's degree and able to drop in before and after my clinical work day! Checking in on your pet will be a great brain break for me, and you pet will get some love and attention! I currently have two cats of my own and observe great caution when opening doors to ensure they don't escape. With your cats, I will do the same and more! With your dog, I will double check gates before letting them into the yard, or triple check their leash if they prefer to do their business on a walk.
About: Book early for Fall and Winter Holidays! 🍁🎄 Boarding, daycare, walking, grooming etc! Message me to book a test day to make sure it’s a good fit! Can’t wait to meet your pup! Your pet is not just “Watched” here they are understood! I’ve been in the pet care industry for over 8 years now- working in boarding, walking, daycare, grooming… I am comfortable and experienced with all breeds and sizes! Always home, and if not it is for short periods of time! Clients are never left unsupervised around other pets! Saftey is the priority here!
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! I have looked after and cared for pets since childhood, and would love to add your pet to my roster! I am a massage therapist working 4 days a week. I am available all day on Wednesdays, and Friday afternoons to take your dog for a walk, feed your cat, or hang out with your furry friend! I am flexible to work with you and your pet to best suit their needs. I can walk your dog in your neighborhood, hang out with them at your house, or take them to my fenced in yard where they can run either by themselves or with my dog.
“So glad I found Jessica! She is very attentive and good with even the most detailed requests. I was so grateful for her check ins and her willing to message me to make sure she is doing what is best for your babies🤍”
About: As long as I can remember I’ve always had a passion for all animals. Growing up and still to this day I have always brought stray animals home to love on and care for. I recently started promoting myself as a pet sitter/dog walker and now I have a few clients that have hired me. My availability is very flexible. I am looking for long-term set schedules but I am willing and able to do short-term as well if need be. I have a house which is in a subdivision which makes it nice for long walks. We also have a fenced in backyard for a running around.
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a baby, especially growing up around dogs and cats. I’ve got cats of my own and plenty of experience around dogs from volunteering at shelters to going to friends houses just to visit their dog. I want to help make sure your pet feels happy and safe even when their parents are away! Your pet will be part of my daily routine with meals, treats, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll make sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I follow their usual routines including feeding, walks, playtime, and exercise. I make sure they are comfortable, safe, and feel as though nothing has changed in their environment.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Newton
Tess did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. One of our cats has diabetes and she did great administering his insulin. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures that we very much looked forward to. There were a few things that came up at the house that I needed help with, and she went above and beyond to help out. I was able to relax knowing my kiddos were in great hands. Will 110% book with Tess again!

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.
