“Erin was very nice! You can tell she loves pets. She took very good care of my 2 dogs and I appreciate she was able to do it last minute! Very recommended! I would definitely work with her again!”
“Sahara was literally an angel who stepped in when a previously hired sitter no showed after I had already left town. She has been patient with my very shy and skittish senior cat who is now enjoying being petted by Sahara. I highly recommend her.”
“Elizabeth took phenomenal care of Theo! He often takes a while to warm up to new people, but was immediately at ease with her. She provided frequent updates and even brought our packages in. She was truly a wonderful sitter and made our time away from home stress free.”
About: In addition to owning dogs and cats myself over the years, I am a veterinarian. I worked in small animal practice before joining the Army Veterinary Corps, from which I retired in 2021. In addition to standard care, I can also administer medications and treatments prescribed by your pet’s veterinarian. I am retired with a very flexible schedule. I would be able do take the time needed to ensure your pet gets the attention and care they need. Regardless of the type of care requested, you provide the instructions for how you want your pet cared for and I will follow them. If for some reason I cannot accommodate a specific request, I will work with you to find a satisfactory solution.
“Jennifer was an amazing dog sitter. She did everything I asked and more. She was kind and gentle with my fur baby and he simply loved her. She always kept me updated and sent pictures of him when they were out and about. I would recommend her to anyone wanting a kind and loving sitter.”
About: Bilingual: English & Español Hi! I’m Cindy, and I absolutely love animals. I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, birds, and chickens for over 10 years, and nothing makes me happier than providing a safe, loving, and fun environment for every pet. I believe every pet deserves to feel comfortable, loved, and treated like family. Whether we’re going for walks, playing games, exploring outdoors, relaxing inside, or enjoying plenty of cuddles, I’ll make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care, frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, drop-in visits. I treat every pet as if they were my own and always strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay so you can have peace of mind.
“This was my first time using Rover so I didn’t know what to expect. Mariah was very professional and a great communicator. I loved getting pictures after the visits. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Rachelle was amazing; checked in on Janus 3 times while I was out of town last minute. Janus is a very timid dog who requires a lot of reassurance after spending over a year bouncing around shelters and homes. Rachelle was willing to wait for Janus to feel comfortable and made sure she was well loved for while I was gone.”
“Amanda is absolutely wonderful! She’s incredibly fast to respond, professional, and so personable , you can tell she genuinely loves what she does. My dogs took to her right away, which says a lot! It was clear from the moment she walked in that she has a natural connection with animals. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in her care. I would absolutely recommend Amanda to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate pet care, and I’ll definitely be using her again!”
“Rosemary was a blessing to have as a sitter for our fur family. By the pictures and videos we were able to see (she sent several...) the pups just loved her time and attention. We look forward to having her visit again and again.... Dave & Stephanie... and of course Barkley, Belo, and Blue (who missed her this trip...)”
About: After a 40+ year as an IT professional, I am retired from and would love to care for your dog. Work resume and references provided upon request. I have a 40lb. Border Collie/Lab mix (10 years old) and he is a sweetheart. I have had dogs my entire life. I am available 7 days a week.

I am in excellent health and would enjoy the company and so would my dog Tanner. I am retired and have a pretty open schedule. I love to do anything where I can get some exercise and I have a passion for animals. I have a fenced in yard and have a friendly and sweet dog at home. I have toys and balls to play with them in my big back yard.
About: Ever since I was a little girl I have always loved animals. I have always had a family pet and I currently have a sweet puppy of my own, his name is Ollie. In high school I volunteered at local animal shelters and started dog/ farm sitting for friends and family. It is one of my lifetime dreams to open up a doggy cafe and maybe even a doggy day camp. So if you ever need anyone to dog sit, walk your pups, or even just hang out with them for a little while… I am super flexible and more than willing!! I have a very flexible and remote job, so I can always find time to escape to go play with some pups! I’m available more often than not for dog/housesitting, walks, and check ins throughout the week!! My biggest concern is that your fur baby is happy and healthy. Every family is different and every dog may require different needs, I understand that and know that all too well. I am pretty flexible and up for anything to ensure your pup is living their best life. I am a big fan of communication so I will always ask questions if any situation arises. And I will keep you updated with tons of cute photos of your sweet babies.
“For me using Rover for the first time, I was pretty nervous about having someone else watch my dog. However, Colleen made it very easy to communicate and setup a good system for my dog. With her having a half hour per visit, I can tell she filled that time productively, and gave Maggie the positive energy she needed while I was gone. Colleen also sends photos confirming that Maggie ate or walked, and that allowed me to still see Maggie in action. I’m very happy with her service and how easy she was able to pull it off for Maggie.”
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I grew up with pets and have been caring for animals most of my life. My family has a farm, so I’m very comfortable around all kinds of animals and understand the love, patience, and attention they deserve. I’ll treat your fur babies like family while they’re in my care! I work full-time, but I’m fortunate to have a flexible schedule and live just 5 minutes from work. This allows me to easily fit pet care into my daily routine and provide plenty of attention, potty breaks, walks, and check-ins throughout the day. I’m happy to work with your pet’s routine and make sure they receive consistent, loving care while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first! I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and specific needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. I provide a clean, calm, and loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles when they’re wanted. I’ll also keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy and safe while you’re away. I do have a fenced in yard. I currently do not have any pets of my own so it will be a free comfortable space for your fur babies
About: For several years I took care of my friends dog Koda while living with my friend. My friend was busy in graduate school and working part time, so she asked me take care of Koda in the mornings and evenings when she could not make it home in time. That included walking Koda and feeding Koda. Those responsibilities grew to taking Koda to the vet when necessary. I learned a lot about dogs, and I am able to handle taking care of dogs. Safety is the most important thing when taking care of a dog. My schedule is flexible. I would prefer at least 2 days notice for scheduling purposes. I am available throughout the day seven days a week. I would ask the client what is important when taking care of a pet in their home. Does the pet have any allergies? Do they have any health problems I should be aware of?
About: I've had dogs and cats and been taking care of them since I was a a kid. Recently had to put my dog down due to cancer, and my grandmother is allergic to pet hair so I'm looking for another way to connect to pets until I can get my own again. Currently not working so unless I'm on vacation and out of state, I have a pretty open schedule. Willing to spend nights or extended stays if discussed and I can make it work. Willing to do whatever works for your pet and their routine, previously had a dog with stomach and skin issues so I have experience with different responsibilities.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of on a daily basis ranging from 2 months old to 2 years old. I have an American Eskimo, Border Collie/Shih Tzu Mix, and Miniature Goldendoodle. I love playing with my dogs as well as taking them on walks throughout the neighborhood! I currently work in office and am available to drop by twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening. I am typically at home enjoying my evening if I’m not at work! I can take your dog(s) on walks and/or dog parks. I can visit often to let them out to play in the backyard and to feed him/her.

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.
