“Toni was great when she watched our dog over Thanksgiving. She was always on time and sent great photos and seemed to genuinely love watching our dog and walking her. We will definitely use Toni again for the future if she was happy with us too!”

“We had a great experience with Andrea! We have medically complex cats who need a combination of pills, injections, and supplements, and she did a wonderful job making sure everyone received everything they needed. She was very attentive and clearly took their care seriously, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Our travel plans also changed unexpectedly when our flight was canceled, and she was incredibly flexible and understanding when we had to adjust the booking at the last minute. We really appreciated both the quality of care she gave our cats and how easy she was to work with, and we would absolutely book with her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and absolutely love making them feel at home while their families are away. I provide a calm, home-based environment with lots of one-on-one attention, outdoor playtime, walks, and plenty of love throughout their stay. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and what makes them comfortable. My goal is for your pup to feel like they’re on their own little vacation rather than being stuck in a kennel! Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine! I work from home, so I’m able to give the dogs plenty of attention throughout the day with regular potty breaks, outdoor playtime, walks, meals, and lots of love. I enjoy spending time with the dogs throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods, so they get to be part of my normal routine while they’re here. Whether your pup is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In my home, they get plenty of attention, outdoor playtime, walks, regular meals and potty breaks, and lots of love. For visits in your home, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they get the care, exercise, attention, and companionship they need while you’re away.

We had a great meet and greet which made me confident about the care our cat needs. All went smoothly and perfectly at home while we were away. April sent pictures and comments at every visit 🙏”

About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having. Since I am currently building my dedicated client base, your pet will never be "just another stop" on a long list. They get my undivided attention, energy, and affection. I currently work from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available weekdays as well as weekends. We have a fenced area in our yard, and a safe neighborhood for walks. Additionally, we have a dog and two cats to keep your pet company.

About: I’ve grown up with different animals, from cats and dogs to rodents and fish. I have experience administering medication, simple training and of course tons of play time! I have experience with young to adult and senior animals. My schedule is open Friday nights to Sunday nights as I work full time during the week days until 2:30pm. Anytime after 2:30pm on a weekday is open as well! My yard is fenced though small but plenty of room to release the zoomies! Caring for animals is a passion and I take as seriously as if it was my own pet. My current dog has some health issues that require home cooked foods and daily medication, so I am no stranger to the extra but rewarding work that animals are!

About: Animals have always been a part of my life and my family. Horses, dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, fish and more have all been part of our lives! Just looking to offer care for other families out there that want to have their pet cared for as if they were family ☺️ I work full time weekdays, but am home in the afternoons/evenings and all weekends. I’m open to hosting in my home or making visits to yours! I have one friendly dog Australian Shepard who loves play dates! We also have one cat in the home who is friendly as well ☺️

FAQs for Pet Sitting - Wilderness Corner

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.
