“Laura was amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure our kitties were happy. Laura also helped us with our trash cans and grabbed our mail. Will definitely request her the next time we are on vacation.”
About: I often joke that I like animals more than people and with that being said, I can promise that I will love on your furbaby as if they were my own. My Chihuahua-Jack Russell recently crossed over the rainbow bridge and my house has been too quiet. This opportunity with Rover will bring some joy back to my life, hopefully with a side of snuggles. I’ve been watching cats & dogs since I was a pre-teen. I grew up in a house with 2 cats, as well. I work Monday-Friday, but I have plenty of time on the weekends to walk and play with your dog. I am open to house-sitting at your residence if that is better for the animals. I'm available 24/7 for boarding at my house, as long as your pup is crate-trained and okay being home alone for 6-8 hours as I do work full time Monday-Friday. Same hours go for housesitting at the pet's home. I have lots of space to roam in the house. Couch and bed are free spaces. If your pet prefers to be crated at night, I am happy to do so. At your house, I am happy to follow all rules set in place.
About: I have years of experience caring for animals, from dogs to cats & rabbits. Pet care is an area that I am thrilled to be now pursuing on a higher level. Animals have captured my heart for years, and this is something that will not change now or in the future. I am someone who pays attention to details and always has animal welfare at the forefront of my mind. I do not doubt that I am someone to be trusted with your animals. I look forward to potentially working with you! I am fortunate in that I have a fairly flexible routine currently. This allows for pet care jobs and responsibilities to be easier to take on. I am happy to watch your animals in your home if all checks out. What might it look like? I could stop by once or twice a day (‘depending) to make sure your pet(s) are well and everything is running smoothly. For example, I just wrapped up pet sitting for someone I know in the area & she gave me a spare key for her place. This is just what made sense & what she was comfortable with at the time. She left some realistic instructions for me & all went well. It was a win-win situation. You just need help with dog walking? I am happy to consider that as well!
“Aaron was fantastic! He was prompt, reliable, and took the time to come by beforehand to meet my dogs and go over their routine. While I was away, he spent quality time with my two fur babies and even sent me photos during his visits, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was reassuring to know they were so well cared for while I was out of town. I highly recommend Aaron and will definitely be booking him again!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and have a soft spot for them. I have a four year old very high energy, playful but docile GSP. I will walk, watch, feed and create a stimulating environment for them! I work from home and have flexibility during the week to help out. I am also open most weekends for dog sitting or boarding . I will make sure pets are handled with love and care and will treat them as if they were my own. This might mean lots of belly rubs, snuggles and treats. My home has a fenced backyard and many dog beds and toys. I am happy to stay with your dog at his or her home if that is most comfortable for them and if my schedule allows.
About: I may be new to Rover, but I am not new to caring for others. I am a lifelong dog owner and currently have a dog of my own, so I understand daily routines like feeding, walks, playtime, and providing a safe, loving environment. I am also a parent and work in childcare, which has given me extensive experience with responsibility, patience, and following specific instructions. I’m comfortable sticking to routines, recognizing needs, and providing attentive care. I understand how important it is to trust someone in your home and with a loved one. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I give my own family, and I’m happy to follow any instructions to keep your pet comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, especially long-term and weekend care. I’m available Thursday nights through Sundays, which allows me to provide consistent, attentive care without rushing or overbooking. As a dog mom, I understand the importance of routines, exercise, feeding schedules, and recognizing pets’ needs. I’m used to planning my days around caregiving and making sure everyone feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I have a large yard for supervised outdoor time. Since it’s not fenced, dogs are always closely monitored and leashed as needed. I have a friendly dog who enjoys company, and two children who love animals and are taught to be gentle and respectful. Pets are never left unattended. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine are always my priority.
About: I have a lot of experience taking care of my family’s dogs (Bernese Mountain Dogs) and dogsitting for friends and neighbors. I have a lot of energy, so I am willing to walk, run, and play with your dog. I am also willing to take your dog to a dog park to get out some more energy. I also offer house sitting. I am a middle school teacher, so during the week I am only available for drop-ins and walks after 3:40. If I am dogsitting for you during the week, there will be times that I am gone for 8-9 hours at work. But on most weekends, I wouldn’t be gone for more than 3-4 hours at a time, and would spend the rest of the time home with your pet making them feel safe and loved! I work full time from 7:30-3:30 on weekdays, but have a lot of afternoon and evening availability for drop-ins and walks. I am also available for early morning drop-ins before 7:00 am. I follow all of the routines, procedures, and feeding instructions left by the pet’s family in order to provide great care for the pet and to ensure the home is safe and secure.
About: I am a life long dog lover, raising dogs for the entirety of my first 18 years of life. While we live in a home where we can't keep dogs. At home we care for a menagerie of pets, including 1 cat, 2 rabbits, 3 degus, 2 budgies, 1 cockatiel, 1 painted turtle and keep 5 freshwater aquariums! I am self employed with a very flexible schedule. I try to fit in 3-5 dog walks per week. Sometimes more if my schedule allows. I am always very mindful of any pets in my care. We have a cockatiel who we allow to fly around the house, so I am always very watching and aware, ensure doors and windows are treated with care to ensure the safety of my pets.

“Sara was awesome; did everything we asked of her and more. She was not intimidated by our protective cats and we look forward to using her again in the future. I'm sure they will remember her (:”
About: I have owned dogs since I was 8 years old and have dog sat off and on over the last 10 years. I am very reliable caregiver who is intuitive to dogs needs. I strive to treat both you and your dog with kindness and respect. I live in a duplex with a large fenced in backyard. There are a couple of trails within walking distance of my house as well that are perfect for long walks. I will gladly follow any special requests by clients to ensure the pet is taken care of the way they prefer. I will treat not only the pet with love and respect but your home as well. I am currently working Monday - Friday 8am - 4pm. I am available Monday - Thursday 5pm until 9pm. Fridays 5pm until 12:00am. I am available most weekends after 10am until but I am flexible with my weekend hours. I currently work from 8am - 4pm Monday - Friday. I am able to let your dogs out during the work week prior to going to work and after. My boyfriend lives close to our house and he can also come home on his lunch break to let the dog outside. When I have a pet in my home, I spend all my time (besides my working hours) at my home with your pet. Since I do not work weekends, I will be at home with your pet the entire time. I have a large fenced in back yard with plenty of space for your pup to run around. If you prefer me to watch the dog in your home, I am happy to do so. If I am watching your pet at your home I will treat your home with respect. I am happy to get your mail, water your plants, and complete any other household chores you need while you are away. I like to learn your pets schedule so they are as comfortable as possible whether I watch your pet in my home or yours.
About: Pet Sitting Profile I’ve been around animals my entire life, and I’m always happiest when I get the chance to care for them! I’m moving back to Grand Rapids, Michigan on September 15, and I’m hoping to buy a home in the summer of 2027. In the meantime, I’ll be staying with relatives, so pet sitting and house sitting feel like a great way for us to help each other. I can earn some extra money toward my future home while getting to spend time with some amazing animals, and you can have peace of mind knowing your pets and home are in caring, responsible hands. A little about me: I’m 35, gay, and a friendly, responsible professional who works in hotel sales. I’ll be working fully remote, which gives me plenty of flexibility to be available and give your pets the attention and care they deserve. I currently have a 3-year-old large dog will be getting to vacation at his grandparents. Thankfully, my parents will be helping care for him. which allows me to take on pet sitting and house sitting opportunities. My experience with animals goes well beyond dogs and cats. I’ve had two saltwater aquariums with fish, corals, anemones, and more, as well as a large freshwater aquarium that I maintained for years. Growing up, I also owned several reptiles and have experience helping care for chickens, ducks, and other animals. Whether your pets need walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, aquarium care, or simply someone trustworthy around while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help. I genuinely enjoy animals and will treat your pets like they’re my own! I am relocating back home to Grand Rapids on September 15 and I will be working in a fully remote capacity from 10:30am-6pm. I will have a very flexible schedule and no commitments outside of work so last minute needs are easy to accommodate. I do travel for work periodically but that will get communicated well in advance. I have my travels through April on my availability already. I am most comfortable caring for the pets in their own environment. I will be living with relatives upon my return so cannot care for animals in my home unless there is a specific situation that is discussed in advance. I’ve watched relatives and friends pets for years and I am comfortable in many different housing situations!
“Katrina agreed to care for Coco last minute. Her usual caretaker could not do the job any longer. I had given the job to another person on Rover and they cancelled. Katrina came over for a meet n greet and walk to get to know Coco. She followed the directions given very well and I loved the pictures. Coco seemed to really love her and she was well taken care of. When coco was having problems sleeping Katrina added an additional daily walk and it really helped her. I would definitely tell others to use Katrina.”
“Kaitlin goes above and beyond to take care of our pets. She is extremely communicative and trustworthy, and she does an amazing job. We feel so comfortable having her come take care of our pets for us while we are away and she makes the process so smooth and easy. Would highly recommend her to anyone.”
About: I’ve helped dog-sit my neighbor’s pups over the last 10 years and have loved every encounter with them. I recently lost my best friend (border collie mutt) of 13 years, and am looking to help any other owners out!! I love running with dogs, so if you have an energetic one that needs exercise I am happy to help! I am also comfortable walking, playing, stopping in, feeding, conducting potty breaks, and spending the night with all pets! I have a full time job (8-4) that has flexible hours and sometimes I work from home. I am available on the weekends to house sit and stay the night with your pup. I am available to pet-sit in your home and replicate your pet’s typical schedules and trainings, and whatever you need that is communicated to me!
“Rikki watched our fur babies, Cash and Josie last week and did an amazing job! She sent us pictures every day, which really helped us get through until we got home, since we missed them so very much. She really seemed to care about them and did a great job in making them feel comfortable and safe while we were away. She didn't get to see very much of Josie, our cat, as she isn't really into hanging out with people. But Cash, our dog, absolutely loved her and I'm sure he looked forward to her coming and playing with him every day. I would definitely recommend her as a pet sitting and will be using her in the future when we take our next trip away from home.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitneyville
We recently had the pleasure of having Ariel take care of our cat and we could not have had a better pet sitter! She is reliable and caring and her dedication went above and beyond our expectations. We deeply appreciated her willingness to stay longer than scheduled to ensure our cat was safe before she left. Communication was fantastic - we loved the updates and photos after each visit. We highly recommend Ariel for anyone looking for a responsible, caring pet sitter!
Laura was an exceptional care taker of our older cat while we were away. She kept us updated regularly, sent the sweetest photos, and even checked on our property after we lost power during a storm. Knowing everything was taken care of gave us so much peace of mind. We are incredibly grateful for her care and kindness.
Thank you so much Kristopher! We have struggled to find good care for our Aussie when we go away and I am so thankful to have found Kristopher. The communication was great, he is undaunted by my dog and willing to go with what the dog is used to at our home. In just this one interaction, I felt our families had similar values and this made leaving Jesse in his care very comfortable. There were some fun extras to the visit and Jesse was very well cared for. Thankful and hopeful for get-aways to come. Great experience all the way around.

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.
