About: I have grow up with all kinds of Pets. I live on a bunch of land and I love to go for walks. My family always have me go and pet/house sit for them when they go on vacations. Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine. I go to school online so I’m always home. My child loves to go on walks, so I’m always going on walks. I do not have any rules about animals on furniture because I love to cuddle them. I will let them out, feed them, take them on walks, make sure they have water, and love on them when I’m not doing anything
“Brittany took fantastic care of my cat, Remy, while I was away for a quick weekend trip! She was so helpful in accommodating our last minute request and sent us cute photos and videos of him. Our cat loves spending time with her!”
“If you're debating between using Lilianais and someone else, go with her! She’s incredibly punctual, reliable, and always super accommodating. My schedule has been unpredictable lately, but she’s consistently gone above and beyond to help with last-minute changes and additions to the schedule. My dog absolutely adores her, and it’s clear how much she cares for the pets she looks after. Lilianais is an absolute gem—I can’t recommend her enough”
“Olivia was fantabulous!! I was nervous about using a service to take care of my big old guy. I have always had family and friends available to take care of my fur babies until now. After meeting Olivia, I was able to rid my anxiety. She sent lots of pics. She loved on my fur baby at each of the visits she made while I was out of town. She sent updates and even gave him his meds. I will definitely be asking her to pet sit again.”
“Kristy did a wonderful job looking after my cat while I was away for a week. She was sure to sent me at least four pictures of my fur kitty which I appreciated and would tell me have sweet and loving he is. I plan on using her services again if ever I leave the Waco area.”
“Suzanne was very friendly and did an excellent job caring for and loving on my cat when I was away. I will definitely keep her in mind for the future and recommend her to others.”
About: We have had dogs our whole life and enjoy caring for and loving on them. We understand the attention dogs need to feel loved and cared for. Dogs are family! As a teacher, my availability is much more open during the summer months. I look forward to taking care of your pets as much as my schedule allows. Our Chiweenie, Tina is our inside pup. She loves to cuddle and go on walks. Our Labrador, Bear enjoys being with us outside to play or take it easy. Our Dalmatian/German short haired pointer, Chief Kenai is very active and enjoys running and playing fetch. In care of your pets, we will let them outside to go potty, clean up any accidents, play with them, take them on a walk if needed and feed and water them.
About: I'm a mental health counselor, but I provide pet-loving services, in my free time. I've raised 3 kids and lots of pets, over the years. I have a flexible work schedule, during the week, and I can provide full-time care on weekends. When I'm home, pets get lots of attention! I have a large fenced yard and 2 small dogs (dachshund & morkie). My dogs are neutered and very friendly. We have a doggie door for yard access, but can close off the door, if restricted access is preferred.
About: Hi, I’m Kaycee!! I have been an animal lover my entire life!! Growing up my family and I always owned multiple pets which lead the my love for animals! I have always loved caring and playing with dogs and showing them the endless love they continuously give us!! Let me be your puppies next best friend🩷 I am currently working PRN as an Occupational Therapist, however I am off most days out of the week to have tons of play time with your baby throughout the day! As a dog owner myself I know the high expectations I would have for someone caring for my pets. I plan to uphold my high standards for you and your loved ones! At my home I have a fenced yard where I spend most evenings sitting on the porch playing fetch with my babies. But, that never stops us from being a couch potatoe or going on a long walk! If your dog stays in a crate or is free to roam your home I can ensure they will be cared for in the best way possible!
About: I have 3 german shepherd that I have taken care of since they were puppies. I love the way dogs can interact with people and the love they are willing to offer. I am able to do CPR on dogs if ever needed. I am compassionate and caring because thats all they need. Each dog may be different but they all share a common feeling which is wanting love and care. I connect with them fast. If there are any special needs as far as the walks or when coming to check on them let me know. It will be my great pleasure to play and walk your dog because it's what I love doing. As my heading describes, they are the only ones that can see your true heart.
About: I have had animals my entire life and currently have 5 dogs, 5 cats and a horse. My full time job is on a farm taking care of horses so I have the ability to administer fist aid and medications and am comfortable with all sizes and shapes of animals. Also have experience with goats and pigs. I currently work part time and travel some for work so my schedule is flexible and easy to work around. I have the ability to work evenings and weekends when needed. I will make sure to follow all the instructions given to me to properly care for your pet. I have extreme attention to detail and am able to recognize if there might be a problem with an animal because my job has been to have an awareness about how an animal is acting for the past 10 years. I also have extensive experience with my own pets and different issues they have had through my life.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they’re part of my own family. I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had cats for the past 7 years. My home is currently filled with 7 animals of my own—2 dogs and 5 cats! They’re definitely my favorite part of home life (other than my husband, of course lol). I regularly care for the pets of my family and friends, including my brother-in-law’s dog, who I watch very frequently, as well as my family’s 2 dogs and cat. I also occasionally care for a close friend’s dog. One of my longer pet-sitting experiences was caring for my cousin’s dog for 3 months while she recovered from a broken leg. We are an extremely pet-friendly household and genuinely love having animals around. When friends come over, we’re always telling them to bring their pets! My schedule is currently completely open, and as an at-home wife, I’m able to be home with your pets for the majority of the day most days. I’m happy to provide plenty of attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles so your pets feel comfortable and loved while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for all kinds of animals and would love the opportunity to get to know your pets and their individual personalities and routines. I know how important it is to leave your pets with someone you trust, and I’ll treat them with the same care and attention I would want for my own. Our home is a very pet-friendly and welcoming environment, and our own pets are a huge part of our everyday life. We currently have 2 dogs and 5 cats, so we’re very comfortable with animals and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. Because I’m an at-home wife, I’m home the majority of the day and can provide frequent supervision, attention, and companionship. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, and any special instructions you provide. We have a large, fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. We also live right next to a park and creek, which gives us plenty of opportunities for walks and outdoor time for pets who enjoy exploring. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how hard it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me. I also understand that not every pet is comfortable around other animals. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s personality and needs beforehand and make sure we have a plan that keeps everyone comfortable and safe. For pets who need or are more comfortable with their own separate space, we also run available to set up kennel(s). I’m happy to accommodate individual needs and make sure every pet has a safe and comfortable environment. Safety and trust are extremely important to me. I know how difficult it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I want you to feel confident that they’re being cared for, supervised, loved, and treated like family while they’re with me.
“Dustin has made my first time experience with Rover amazing. He made sure to keep me updated with how Bella responded to him and took pictures on their walk. He definitely treated her like his own. He made her really happy during his visits. I would definitely use him again. 10/10”
About: Whitney Amanda but I go by Mandy!I am new to rover and looking to grow experience. My services are walks ( or even runs as I enjoy running!) and drop in visits. Since I work at the hospital during the day, I would drop in early in the morning, lunch break and/or evening visits. I’ve had pets of my own + I use to work in a pet care and spa for a bit. I would love too help you get great care for your fur babies!! I am currently full time at a hospital but looking to help with evening or overnight care. However, feel free to reach out as I do have off days here and there. Communication is the best form of care. You let me know what your pet needs and I am there! I am happy to provide a caring and nurturing environment for your pet.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
