“This was my first time using Rover and I was very hesitant and nervous! But Sabrin made me feel so much better! We did a meet and greet beforehand and she was very sweet and personable! She also communicated with me very well and I felt confident that she would keep me posted! She sent a bunch of pictures of my baby and took very good care of her! 10/10 recommend!”

About: Hi, I'm Allie. I have loved and cared for animals since I was 12. I have always dog-sat and walked dogs. In addition, I worked at a local dog store in my hometown called Just Dog People. We sold dog toys, products, food, etc., and clipped and washed dogs. I have worked professionally with dogs for years, and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I am currently enrolled at ECU but have a pretty open schedule. I am available to walk dogs mornings, afternoons, and evenings Monday through Sunday! I have 4 dogs myself and they are my pride and joy. I am very respectful and have worked and cared for animals in my own home and others and have always done well. I seek to make the best experience for the pups and get all their energy out.
“Dia took great care of our cats while we were away. She communicated frequently and we had peace of mind that they were in good hands. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have been dog sitting for 4 years. I have taken care of anything from small to big dogs. I love what I do and believe that animals deserve the best care! I have a pretty open schedule and incorporating pets into that schedule makes me very happy!! I love watching animals and having play time with them! I have 2 dogs. One French bulldog and one English bulldog. These dogs get top tier canine life (much deserved) and make me very very happy!
About: In my 5 years of watching animals, I have found a passion in taking the best care of them and making them feel comfortable in their own homes. I have dealt with stressful dogs all the way to the outgoing kinds and know how to comfort them in anyways I can. I also have experience with training puppies and keeping up with them! Along with watching the animals, I am also there for you so if you have any plants that need watered or trash taken out I will happily do that for you! I am a Sophomore at East Carolina University and I do have classes Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday! I only have 1-2 classes a day that are not longer than an hour! My top priority is making sure they are comfortable and not stressed with their owners being gone. I ask the owners if they have any ways of calming them down and what their daily routine is. I mold my schedule to what the animals are used to so they aren’t dealing with a big change.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs since I was 12 years old! I’ve had experience with both mini poodles and toy poodles, and I currently have both a toy poodle and a mini poodle of my own. Having dogs throughout my life has taught me how important patience, attention, exercise, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet. I’m currently a college student, so my schedule varies depending on the day, but I have plenty of availability for pet sitting and dog walking. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, I’m usually finished with classes around 1 PM. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I’m usually finished around 5 PM. My weekends are completely open, and I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible. Since I live in a dorm, I’m unable to have pets stay inside with me, but I’d be more than happy to spend the day outside with your pet, take them on walks, play with them, visit a dog park, or give them lots of attention and exercise. I’m also available for house sitting when my schedule allows! I take your pet’s safety and comfort very seriously. Since I live in a college dorm, I’m unable to provide overnight boarding in my own home, but I’m happy to provide dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting at your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine, make sure they get plenty of exercise and attention, and follow any specific instructions you leave for me. I’m also happy to keep you updated with pictures and messages while you’re away so you know your pet is doing well.

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life. Mostly dogs (of all sizes) and cats. I’m reliable and ready to help your pet live their best lives! I’m currently a full time stay at home dog mom and available full time for your pet care needs. My best availability is during the day between 7am-7pm. At my home, I have a small/medium size fenced in yard with a privacy fence where dogs can freely run around and play. I have two 4 year old Boston terriers who loves to play and 2 cats. In your home, I leave it up to the owner to let me know what interaction is best with your pet.
About: I've owned animals my entire life, and began dog / cat sitting around the age of 10. Now I get the pleasure of owning my own furbaby, Link- as well as working at a grooming facility. I was previously working at a boarding facility for a little over three years and it has given me an amazing insight on not only what goes into caring for the furbaby, but helping them thrive. It has also given me the opportunity to learn how to handle a variety of dogs and cats, and their temperament. I am available for whatever days or times best align with your schedule and your furbabies needs! I have reliable transportation and can be readily available. Working at the facilities has given me hands on experience when it comes to anxious animals, administering medication, handling animals, and assessing a situation to decide if the animal will need medical care. I am more than willing to offer walks, cuddles, playtime, or whatever your furbaby(ies) enjoy most!

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.
