The (twice) daily notes and photos put us at ease and reassured us that Cody was in good hands. Not only do we highly recommend Chelsea, we will not hesitate to use her again and again. Thank you Chelsea!”

About: I offer pet walking and house sitting services. If you have an active dog, I will take them on adventures! I have taken care of dogs, cats, cockatiels, bearded dragons, rabbits, and fish. I have either boarded all of these animals or gone to their home to care for them. I've taken care of many breeds of dogs including 100+ breeds and pit bulls. I've taken care of both puppies and senior dogs. I also understand that you may have specific training instructions and I will make sure to adhere to these when walking and sitting. I cared for a family dog for 4 years during my mid-twenties. I put a lot of care into making sure every animal feels safe and loved while in my care. I typically take dogs on a walk in the morning, afternoon, and evening. Depending on the needs of the dog, I can do additional potty breaks and different walk lengths. I am open to house sitting and can bring your dog to nearby trails or nearby dog parks as needed. Depending on if you have a yard, I can spend time playing with them outside either within a fenced area or on leash. Your animal will receive loving attention and plenty of pets if they are into that. I can also do animal massage which is great for stressed pets, or simply those who exercise a lot and have tense muscles.

About: Hi! My name is Alexia, and I’m a lifelong animal lover currently based in Sarasota, Fl. I’ve grown up around a variety of pets my entire life and currently have two dogs of my own — a pitbull and a rescue — so I understand how important it is to find someone you can fully trust with your pets. I have experience dog walking and pet sitting for family, friends, neighbors, and through volunteering at animal shelters. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, senior dogs, large breeds, anxious pets, and administering medication when needed. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I’m very energetic, patient, organized, and reliable. As an athlete, I’m an active person who genuinely loves walking, running, and spending time outdoors, which makes me a great fit for energetic dogs who need exercise and attention. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, or just companionship and care during drop-in visits, I’ll make sure they feel loved and well cared for. I always make communication a priority. I’m happy to send photo and video updates so you can feel connected to your pet while you’re away. I also have reliable transportation. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and treat them like family! I’m working a part time job, attending classes, and playing sports. With that being said I am available on weekends and throughout the week, times will vary. I have a huge backyard with a pool and I only have one dog. She’s an American Bulldog and I have had her for almost 10 years now. I take her on walks all the time and try to do as many activities. She loves spending her days outside lounging around by the pool.

About: I've spent almost a lifetime taking care of cats and dogs, and I find the bond between animal and owner to be one of the most powerful things on earth. I've been called upon to care for friends and families to pet-sit for them many times throughout my life. I currently have an open weekday schedule so I'm fully available for any and all of your pets basic needs. Weekends are also fully available. Pet safety is a top priority for me, all feeding and walking instructions will be precisely followed. I like to spend a little extra time with pets during feedings just to observe and give them company.

About: *If you have cats please discuss this with me first* my dogs are not cat friendly! I’ve always loved animals. I’m in school right now so I’m home through the week most weeks. My dogs are very used to being around others. I have one roommate. We have a very quiet house. A large fenced in yard with a gazebo and a small pool for the dogs. I’m a nurse. I work one night shift for a kid doing home health on Fridays and then I work 8h shifts at a jail over the weekend. I may work some 12h shifts usually just once a week but I’m prn so it’s mainly the weekends that I’m working. For the summer I just have one class in person for 3h and one class online. My roommate is helpful to let out the dogs if I get stuck being away too long. When I’m at work my pets have a large caged area they stay in. When I’m home or only going to be gone a few hours they roam the house. If you chose to board your animals with me when I’m not home I’d prefer them to be a cage just to ensure safety but we can discuss this further.

About: I have always been an animal lover. Growing up, I always had at least two dogs in the house with me. My parents always instilled never ending love for the family pets into me and nothing make me more comfortable than a furry friend by my side. I also spent some time working for a dog boarding facility in my hometown of Wichita, Kansas. While loving every minute of it, I would like to pursue that feeling again by working for Rover and taking excellent care of your furry friend. I work full-time at a local high school as a coach. My schedule is open in various slots in the day for dog care, and my job allows me to take care of any tasks I need to throughout the day as long as my work is not affected. I am usually off work by 5:30 pm and live just minutes away from work. I also do not work on weekends, so those days are full of opportunity. In your home, I will make sure the pets are safe and getting as much love, attention, and playtime as they deserve! When on walks, I will ensure they are a safe distance from vehicles and that they are cleaned up after.

The key to an enjoyable vacation is knowing my dogs will be cared for as well as I would have. I knew from the updates that my boys were having fun. Christine is the best and ready and able to handle daily visits as well as anything that might come up like bad weather.

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.
