“LuLu seemed very happy and well cared for. It was very easy to communicate with Ashley while we were away, Thank you for a great first experience with our senior dog. We will be using you again soon!”
“Cherri is fantastic! She is reliable, friendly, and clearly love dogs. I could tell my dogs really liked her. Her communication was excellent, and I felt great knowing that my dogs were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Victoria is exactly what you're looking for out of a dog walker. She's been extremely flexible, always on time, and provides a ton of love to our dogs. We're very thankful we found her and appreciate everything she does during her Daphne midday hangouts!”
About: I've been around dogs my whole life and currently care for two of my own with ongoing health needs: one with hip dysplasia, who needs walks with breaks, physical therapy, and swimming sessions, and one with IBD, who needs a strict diet and daily medication. I'm comfortable giving medication, managing special diets, and following care instructions exactly as given. I also spent a year pet-sitting a neighbor's puppy and cat, including daily visits and boarding. I'm a parent to a toddler and available every weekday morning, roughly 8:30am to 12pm, for visits and walks. Caring for pets is part of my daily rhythm already, so your pet gets my full attention during our time together, not a rushed in-between. I follow each pet's routine and instructions closely, whether that's medication, a specific diet, or a particular walking pace. I'm attentive to small changes in behavior or appetite, since I manage similar things with my own dogs at home. I send photo updates during visits so you always know how things went.
About: Hi! I’m Karilyn! Dogs have always been important members of my family. I have experience managing daily pet care, safety, and offering attention. I am most experienced with larger dog breeds, but am familiar with breeds of all sizes and shapes. I prefer to not be out after dark, but am pretty flexible walk-by-walk. Otherwise my availability is as marked. If we’ve established a good relationship, I’m happy to be flexible! On walks, safety is my number one priority. This means secure leashes, alertness to both the environment and the individual dog. This also means catering to sensitivities and preferences of the owner AND the dog. I love to interact with animals, and understand their signals and boundaries. It also important that the pets in my care are hydrated and feeling well after spending time with me.
About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.
“I’ve had a great experience with Catherine, and I feel confident that my kitty is taken care of when I am gone for a few days. I love the photos and updates she sends, and I’m so glad I found her.”
“Jordan gives us so much peace of mind when we're out of town! Her attentive care for our kitties always comes through in her detailed and enthusiastic updates :) Definitely our preferred pet sitter when she has the availability for our kitties!”
About: I own a weenie dog named George. I love this guy to the moon and back. My husband won’t let me get another one, so I’ll love on yours! I used to dog sit in my home, I had 8 dogs at once, a few summers ago. I am happy to walk them, hang with them, and spoil. One of my favorite clients was a one eyed pitbull named Jack, and his boxer brother named Claude. I have always had Dogs growing up, I am such an animal lover. We have also had pet rats, birds, bunnies, and hermit crabs! I can provide excellent references. George the Wiener is my biggest supporter. Just don’t tell him I am leaving him for the day for your pup! We also have an adorable Dutch Bun, named Bun, a gold fish we won at a carnival 6 years, named Carnival Fish, and a bearded dragon named Harold! I work remotely, so I can work from YOUR home while I get to cuddle with your pets.I have reliable transportation and excellent work ethic! I am definitely a cuddler when it comes to pets. I promise yours will be just as spoiled as mine while you are away for the day or week!
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, so taking care of animals has always been a big part of my life. I currently have two cats and a bearded dragon of my own, and I understand how much our pets mean to our family. I’m comfortable caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs, and I’m attentive to making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I give my own pets. I work primarily as a server and bartender in the evenings, which gives me plenty of availability during the day to care for your pets! I am always off on Tuesdays and Sundays, so I have full availability those days for walks, drop-in visits, and extended stays. On the days I work, I’m generally available throughout the morning and afternoon, and can work with you to find a time that fits your pet’s routine. I’m flexible and happy to accommodate different schedules whenever possible! My top priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and make sure to follow their pet’s normal routine, including feeding, walks, medications if needed, and plenty of attention and playtime. I’m also very attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that could affect a pet’s safety. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home, so I treat both with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I’ll always keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you’re away.
“Lynda came through for us in with a last-minute request, and we learned that she lives nearby. She communicated with me during the visit for clarification and allowed us to enjoy our time away knowing that Willow was in good hands.”
“Joan took beautiful care of our pup again. He’s so happy when we come home. Joan plays with him and gives him the attention he needs to cope with the anxiety of his people not being home. For us being able to go away for a weekend and not stress about our boy has been a game changer. We are so grateful.”
“Annika is so wonderful! I could not have asked for better care for my girl. I’m so thankful for her help and I know Wink was happy to see her everyday!”
“We had just gotten a new puppy and I had to be gone a large part of the day due to work. Alex responded right away and spent an hour with the dog playing and trying to get him to go for a walk. I got a progress report and details on everything that happened within the hour, along with some great pictures too. So grateful for the help!”

About: I love dogs! I enjoy walking dogs and meeting new dogs. They are such sweet animals and I love to be able to help them see and explore the world on walks.

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I have experience with dogs, cats, and rabbits, and I understand that every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, love, and plenty of attention. Whether your pet loves playtime, enjoys relaxing and cuddling, or needs a little extra time to feel comfortable around someone new, I will always do my best to make them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I know how important it is to trust someone with your beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will follow your instructions carefully, respect your pet’s routine, and keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

I provide gentle, attentive care by following your instructions, maintaining feeding and exercise routines, keeping their environment clean, and making sure they have fresh food and water. Whether your dog enjoys walks and playtime or your cat prefers cuddles and a quiet space, I’ll respect their individual personality and comfort level. I’ll also send regular photo updates so you can feel confident that your beloved companion is in caring hands while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wheaton
Sarah did a wonderful job! She made three scheduled visits, checked in with us each time, and all five kitties came out to see her, which is a miracle. She has that intuitive connection to the cats. Plus, we really enjoyed seeing the pictures she saved for us.
I just can’t praise enough of this lady. She has been watching over my babies for a while and I never ever had issues with Joan. She was with us as we lost one of our dogs and gave extra care to the ones left. She came through again for us and I am so grateful to her for her love and care for our babies. She is truly the best I’ve ever had. No worries whatsoever with Joan!!
Kathryn was such a wonderful sitter for my dog. She was punctual and very thoughtful of my dog needs. My dog had such a great time with her. She sent me so many cute pics and videos of their time together. I was so happy she was able to take care of him and that she made him feel loved as I was away. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely will contact again!

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.

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 .

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.
