“Alissa was the best cat watcher! She gave me updates everyday and made sure to find Ghost when she was hiding one visit. She was very responsive and so kind. Would highly recommend!”
“Brooklyn always takes the utmost care of my pets, is prompt with responses to any questions, and makes sure every one gets good care and lots of love! We adore having someone who is so kind and helpful to come by, and the animals all clearly enjoy her too! Will continue to use her for our pet care needs!”
“Ashley did a great job overall and arrived to my home every day that I needed her there for. Provided me with daily pictures of my pet and gave updates on how much food was eaten which was good to know. Would highly recommend.”
“Kennedy was absolutely amazing. When she came to meet the dogs she asked all the important questions, did not feel rushed at all. All the animals loved her (even the cats came out) and I loved the peace of mind knowing she was there. We will definitely be using her services again”
About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.
“Natalie was wonderful! She gave us frequent updates every day which helped us relax knowing Chief was well cared for. And she always responded quickly every time we contacted her. I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again in the future!”
“Evelyn watched our cats for 14 days while also giving medicine, playing with them and giving them lovings. We were so stressed about leaving our cats with a stranger, but she made the process so unbelievably easy, on top of the fact we have a diabetic cat and she went above and beyond ensuring nothing went wrong. So responsive to messages, sends noted and pictures daily and clearly made sure the litter didnt get out of hand -- absolutely no gross smells or messed by the time we came home. We will be looking for her on our next trip, especially considering how fast our cats took to her and how relaxed they were during the trip and when we came home. Thank you Evelyn so much for all that you do and for being you, you will be contacted again for our next trip, as said.”
About: Hi! My name is Marion. I have always loved dogs, and have one lovely pup of my own, Summit. She is the tan dog in the photos. She is 7 years old, and very dog friendly. She loves to play, but knows boundaries and is happy to cuddle on the couch as well. I have a very large, high-fenced yard that is great for the dogs, and I also walk my dogs 2x daily and take them to the dog park or open space 1-2x per week. I am a runner, so I could gladly run with your dog if you would like. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in my home! I grew up with Great Danes and am very comfortable around big dogs, and my house is very open so there is a lot of room. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! I am experience with senior and medical pets as well and am comfortable caring for your medically needing fur babies. Behavioral issues or nervous dogs don’t scare me, I have fostered 50+ dogs over the years and am happy to be accommodating. I work from home 90% of the time and am only gone from the home for 2-4 hours at a time to visit my clients. I have a furbo in my home to check in on dogs when I am not at home, and can make my schedule work for someone needing 24/7 observation as long as I have notice. I have multiple spaces in my home if our dogs need to be separated as well.
“Remi was so happy to see Apple! Apple and her daughter were playing with her when i came home and her tail was nonstop wagging. Apple came over and was very flexible with time which I appreciated beyond words. She was amazing! Will definitely book again in the future!”
“Amber was great! She went above and beyond coming over to help me trim the nails of my two dogs. She is a prompt communicator and arrived on time. She provided her own clippers which unfortunately broke. Amber was able to come back the same day with a new pair of clippers to finish the job without an additional charge. Thank you, Amber!”
About: I’m an after school Program Coordinator for Elementary aged kids in the BVSD looking to hang out and care for some pets while I’m not working. I’ve had two dogs my entire life growing up, and now have a little cat to keep me company. I don’t own a dog at the moment, and I’m having major dog withdrawals! I would really love to take more personal walks, and adding a few dogs would make it even better. I’ve helped my friends (and family) while they’re out of town by watching their pets, feeding them, giving them their medicine, and bathing them. I would love to take your dog for a jog around the park, or just take a nice leisurely stroll! I also adore cats and would love to give them some company when needed. I love hanging on the couch giving them some cuddles, playing with their favorite toys, and letting them do their own kitty thing while hanging around. I hope to meet you and your sweet fur baby soon. I’m currently working as an after school program coordinator with Fridays off- so I am able to watch your babies early mornings, evenings, any time on Fridays and weekends! I have a fenced yard for your pup to play in, a large house, one cat who is great with other animals, and some free time during the week/weekends to come and watch your fur babies when needed!
“Second time booking with Danielle and everything was great! Very accommodating and attentive to our needs. Thank you Danielle for taking good care of our babies and our home! Highly recommend!”
About: I have owned pure-bred, rescues, fosters, disabled, and re-homed pets throughout my life (mostly large 40+lbs., but small as well.) I've provided training from puppy age into late-life comfort care. I also have a masters degree in behavior analysis and reinforcement training. I work from home as an artist, so I'm around most the day as well as my dad. There is a doggy door from outside into the garage (but not into the house). I trained Kizzy to push a button that says "outside" so I let her out as needed throughout the day and when one goes out, the rest tend to follow so plenty of potty breaks! Kizzy has a very flexible eating schedule and I am happy to accommodate feeding as needed for your pup. (Let me know about food aggression!) I tend to walk pups late in the evening when there's less distraction, less noise, and cooler, but we DO stop and smell the roses... and grass... and benches...and fire hydrants....etc. no rush here! Also, everyone gets a LED glow collar (if tolerated) because safety first! Safety is a priority! Behavior Analysis is my field of expertise, which is primarily the use of reinforcement procedures to change behavior (mostly for individuals with autism!) This means I do NOT implement punishment procedures (other than perhaps a firm "no") but rather "ignore" the undesired behavior. LED glow collars for nighttime walking. Can feed separately or together depending on your pup's needs! Will supervise feeding, especially initially! Also happy to accommodate medication administration if needed. I have a very social 6 year old boxer mix named Kizzy who is much less active than she used to be, but is tolerant, great with sharing and is great about correcting other dogs when they are being too "in her space". I have a 4ft fenced in yard, which backs up to a walking path with other dogs, bycliclists, runners, golf carts, etc. (so let me know about reactivity issues!) I prefer to have your babies here in my home as it allows me to work from home. I have multiple dog beds, a basket of toys, an extra large crate if needed, I keep water filled, yummy organic treats. I have lots of walking paths in my neighborhood, a nearby dog park, and Kizzy loves swimming in the river so water-loving dogs are welcome! I have cared for higher-needs pets including geriatric, blind, deaf, and even one which was paralyzed and used a wheelchair! I am very comfortable with administering meds, the "cone of shame", assisting with mobility up/down stairs, etc. However, I am also available to stop by your home for potty breaks/medications/water refill/etc. and am available to pick the pups up myself depending on time of day! I am very flexible, just let me know what ya need!
About: I don’t have pets of my own, but I’ve taken care of dogs and cats from other family members. I also work as a caregiver, so I’ve had clients with pets that needed help taking care of them. I have experience with large to medium dogs, but mostly small dogs from puppyhood and up. And if you have a pet that has a strict diet you’ll be happy to know I am immune to their deceptions. I do have some experience with dog sitting overnight and I used to volunteer at an animal shelter, working with both cats and dogs. I currently work part-time so I can work around my schedule and check on pets after a shift. I’m free two days straight on weekends l so I can stay overnight if needed if you want a weekend getaway without worrying about your fur babies. I’d just have to discuss scheduling details with you so everything goes smoothly. The first thing I’ll do is look for any possible ways your dog may get out and secure them so the won’t be able to get out. I’d also try to double secure a leash in the event of one clasp breaking, the other will keep your pet secure.
About: I was a veterinary technician for 8yrs. Willing to work with cats/dogs of any size or any age. I will also take pets that need medication. I am available Monday - Thursday any time after 1pm to 5pm. Friday - Sunday I can be a little more flexible. Message me what you need and we can figure something out. I have one German Shepherd in my home, she is 1yrs old. She goes to work with me and goes for a run every day. We do a lot of puzzle games and training to work her brain. Work the body and the brain for a happy puppy. She is very much loved and cared for in my home. Any fur baby I watch will be treated with the same love and respect that I give my own.
About: I’ve grown up with all kinds of animals. I’ve been trusted to walk, feed, and take care of family and friends fur babies while they’re away I am a full time employee in Johnstown but have time for pet care before and after work. Times will vary based on my schedule but I will always be available morning and night I have 6 cats and 1 dog that are the highlights of my days. I walk my dog twice a day and make sure our babies have fresh water, lots of toys, and all the space to run they could ever need. With a cat tower in every room they never tire
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wildcat
Alissa is AMAZING With our pup! Alissa took the time to get our chickens back into their run when she was there for a "drop-in" visit! I know first hand how tricky this can be! We appreciate all the "little" things she has done for us and Juniper! Like bringing our Amazon packages inside. Juniper loves her company while we are away! And we love the piece of mind knowing our fur baby is in good hands 💜

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.
