“Kennedy took great care of our cats while we were away. I appreciated that she could give medication! She spent time with the cats and made sure all their needs were met. We would for sure book with Kennedy again!”

“Wonderful and thorough care. I never worried about my boy while gone for a week. She anticipated needs even I did not (full litter box change) and went above and beyond in other ways as well. She sends lots of updates which was a comfort while away. She cared for my boy cat Zissou as if her own. 1000% recommend! She will be who I use for any future needs.”

“Jamie has been so patient and kind dropping in on our very shy cat while we’ve been away. Jamie is excellent at communicating and always responds quickly. We wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jamie again!”

About: At an early age, I started walking the neighborhood dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and treat them as my own. Friends and family often rely on me to watch their pets and take them out when needed. I’m very attentive and will treat every animal with the kindness they deserve. I work from home three days a week, and have the weekends off. I have a pretty flexible schedule and can take my work with me anywhere I go. Caring for your pets in your home will be my main priority. I will make sure they are well taken care of, loved, and feel safe.
About: I've had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember as I have helped care for my parents and a variety of friend's dogs throughout the years and enjoyed every second of it. Weekend appts work best for me but am willing to work with you if you need help on the weekdays with any of my listed services. I work eight hour days, five days a week Mon-Fri, so your fur baby will be without a potty break until I get home on those days. I am available all day Saturday and Sunday. I do not have a large backyard but will make sure they get plenty of stimulation outdoors with long walks and play. I would prefer it if your dog is crate trained and would need to be either crated or separated using my dog gates while I am at work. I have a shih tzu of my own who is very friendly and submissive. Ultimately, whatever the client needs for their dog will be made possible so long as it is feasible.
About: Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer. There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out. In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

About: I’ve been dog sitting for about 5 years and have experience with puppies as well as older dogs. I love cats as well and would love to help you out with whatever animal care needs you have. I have worked at a veterinary clinic for almost 3 years now and have gained lots of experience. I am mainly looking for dog walking gigs, but am always happy to consult on other needs. My schedule is pretty open for the most part. I am taking college classes part time, so I do have class for a few hours on Tuesday’s and Thursdays. Other than that I am usually free. My dogs have access to a fenced in area outside that is connected to a doggy door, but I am used to taking dogs out frequently when I am dog sitting.
“Makayla is super reliable, I loved working with her!! She’s super responsive, responsible and she will look after your pet with love and care. I highly recommend her services!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my calm, patient energy. Animals tend to feel comfortable with me quickly, and I focus on creating a safe, low-stress environment for them. I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I understand how important it is to treat them like family. I take the time to get to know each pet’s personality and routine so they feel as comfortable and cared for as possible. I’m very reliable and attentive, and I make sure each pet gets not just the care they need, but extra love and attention too. As a teacher, I have a more flexible schedule during the summer and love staying busy. Pet care fits perfectly into my routine I enjoy getting outside for walks, spending time with animals, and making sure they feel cared for and comfortable throughout the day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep things as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I follow their usual routine for feeding, walks, and playtime, and make sure they’re getting plenty of attention while I’m there. I’m very attentive and make sure pets are safe, secure, and well cared for during each visit. I also respect your home and keep everything just as I found it. Right now, I’m focusing on walks and drop-in visits, so I’m not currently offering overnight stays or having pets in my home.
“Cody did a Great job, our dog just Loved him from the very first moment! As a pet owner, all we want is our dog to be safe and happy when we are not there, and we could not be any happier with Cody’s pawfessionalism!! Thank you ?”

“Colleen did a great job! She sent pictures and updates as requested, and went above and beyond in her level of care for my cat. She was very friendly and professional, and my cat really likes her. I will gladly work with her again if I go out of town.”
About: I grew up around dogs my entire life! My dad used to breed rottweiler puppies! I also have a puppy of my own (she’s 1.5 now so not so puppy) but I am experienced! I got her all on my own so all of her training was with me. She earned her good citizens certificate! I know that every dog has a routine and when I come into a home I try to mimic that routine as best as i can so that the dogs feel completely comfortable I currently work from 7am to about 2pm. But I am available to let them out before work and then once I am out of work my full attention is on your pets! I also have weekends off and when pet sitting I stay home aside from a quick trip to get food or something I do not offer at my home services. I unfortunately have 4 dogs in my home and it is already so chaotic! But I will absolutely take care of your pet in your home and respect your home like my own! At a meet and greet I try to get the dogs exact routine memorized so that while your away he feels more comfortable and hopefully safe with me. I love to play fetch with dogs or tug o war. i’m also all for snuggles!

About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and cats through pet sitting, two doggy daycares jobs, and Mayfair Veterinary Clinic, where I worked as a kennel attendant. I’m experienced with feeding, cleaning, monitoring behavior, and keeping pets safe, comfortable, and happy. I’ve also cared for cats both professionally and in their homes and understand the importance of giving every pet attentive, dependable care. I currently have a flexible schedule and can work pet care into my daily routine. I’m comfortable with regular walks, feeding schedules, playtime, check-ins, and overnight care. I’m happy to communicate with owners about their pet’s usual routine and make sure it stays consistent while they’re away :) I have a dog and cat of my own, so I’m used to maintaining daily routines and creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets. I’m attentive to their individual personalities and needs, and I love giving them plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’m also respectful of each pet’s space and their owner’s home, and I always make sure pets are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I grew up in a dog oriented family and dog sit regularly. I love all dogs and enjoy spending my time with them. Going for walks, playing fetch or just snuggling. I currently work full time but I do work from home and have my evenings and weekends free. I can also work in other locations if needed. My own pets are well taken care of and loved. I own a large dog you thinks he’s a lap dog. I pay attention to the attitude and behaviors for anything wrong.
About: I've taken care of cats for years and I love taking care of dogs as well. My most recent pet is my bunny named Boo! I am a part time online student and work mostly on weekends. My schedule is pretty flexible depending on the level of care your pet needs. I cant currently care for pets in my home, so I would come to your house to visit your pet! We would workout what kind of schedule he/she needs.

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.
