“Aubrey was amazing with our dog! He looked so happy in all of the picture updates we got from every drop in, and she was very communicative throughout the stay. Would highly recommend her care for your needs!”

About: I've worked with dogs and cats of all ages. From a few weeks old until their beautiful golden years. I can give oral medication and am willing to learn to give other types of meds. I can do baths, brushing and nails trims on small and medium dogs. Whether your fur baby is shy or a super cuddle bug, I look forward to meeting them. I am available for long weekends or weeks for pet sitting in your home. I'm also available throughout the week and weekends for drop ins! I am able to easily adapt to your pets schedule in your home. I want to maintain stability while your away to make your furry friends as comfortable as possible. So if they have special requests, let me know so I can keep that going.
“This was Stephanie's second time sitting for our cat. She is still as dedicated, kind, and thoughtful as ever, going above and beyond in her care. It was wonderful working with you again, Stephanie, thank you so much!”

“Stephanie was an absolute ROCKSTAR! She provided an extremely high level of care to our two cats, who are suspicious of people. By the end, they were cuddling in her lap. The cats were provided with daily clean food, water, litter, treats and play time/snuggles. I’m pretty sure they were more disappointed to see her go vs us be home again. :) Thank you again Stephanie for the daily updates and photo slideshows to brighten our day. You eased my nerves, I had never left on vacation yet with our kitties, and it was the best time for kitties and myself!”


About: In the course of over 10 years I've cared for multiple breeds and sizes of dogs, from mini Aussies, rottweilers, Pitbull mix, small dogs breeds etc., I'm currently very flexible with my schedule and can fit in morning, afternoon, evenings and weekends with advanced notice. This free time allows for me to house sit, check in on your pet/s and take them on long walks! I do have a fenced yard and safe surroundings, however for consideration of others who live in the same residence, I'd much prefer care for your pet elsewhere.
“Heather helped out on short notice for a drop-in visit to let my puppy out and give her a walk. I have used Heather multiple times and she is always dependable. I trust her with the care of my puppy and my cat who needs insulin shots and some snuggles. The house always looks great after she house sits which is fantastic to find after a long trip.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was younger than 10, with experience ranging from playful puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and provide companionship for their pets. I’m comfortable with multiple breeds, different energy levels, and unique routines. My priority is keeping pets safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. Whether it’s exercise, cuddles, or special care, I treat every pet like they’re my own. Hi, I’m Madeline! 🐾 I’m a stay-at-home mom to my sweet son, who recently started school, and I’m looking forward to filling my extra time with something I truly love: animals! I’ve always had a big heart for furry friends and believe every pet deserves patience, love, attention, and plenty of cuddles. 🐶🐱💕 As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets. Whether your pup needs a walk, a potty break, playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and cared for while giving you peace of mind. 🐾💗
About: Hi! I’m Lauren! This is my first time using rover but not my first time loving pets! My sweet dog loves with parents in AL and I really miss that special connection that comes with having a furry friend around. Rover gives me the chance to get some extra animal love while helping other pet parents feel comfortable knowing their pets are cared for! ❤️ I’d love to help with drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, some playtime and attention, or just someone to stop by and make sure they’re doing okay, I’d love to help. I’ll treat your pets like they’re part of our family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. 🐶🐱🐾 Can’t wait to meet you and your furry family members! I’d love to help with drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and walks. I work full-time in the Plaza area, so most weekday check-ins would be before 7:30 AM or after 5:30 PM. I’m also available on weekends and can be more flexible with scheduling then. Alternatively, if you’re located near the plaza I could drop in before work, during lunch, and after work! I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide potty breaks, walks, meals, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’ll also send updates and photos so you know how your furry friend is doing! I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you leave for your pet, including their feeding schedule, medications, favorite activities, and routines. My goal is to make their time without you as stress-free and enjoyable as possible. 🐾❤️

“She is very reliable and communicative when she watched my 2 dogs for the 4th of July weekend. I am very appreciative to have found her and definitely recommend her to anyone needing a great dog sitter. Thank you Hannah!”

“Even last-minute, Gabriela was able to go the extra mile to stop in & visit our pups while my husband & I are stuck working all day! We so appreciate her!!! Our dogs were so happy to get to play with her for an hour & enjoy the sunshine 🤗”

“Kaitlyn did a few drop in visits with our Golden boys while we were gone overnight. Everything went great! Kaitlyn was very prompt and communication was excellent. She sent a few pics from each visit and kept us updated on how they were doing. We will definitely recommend Kaitlyn as a pet sitter!”

About: Growing up I do not remember a moment that my family did not have an animal in our household. I used to always want to spend my time with animals and always had that option. My mom was just as obsessed with animals as I was. There was a point in time that we had two cats and five dogs in the household. I love the connection that people can build with animals and the care that there is for each other. With all of these animals in our house, I got pretty accustomed to washing, feeding, walking, playing, etc with them. My stepdad bought a Rottweiler puppy when I was a teenager, so I was able to watch how he trained the dog and the phases they go through as puppies. Although, I do not own an animal of my own at the moment, I always enjoyed the times when my life had an animal in it. I would greatly enjoy to help others contribute to taking care of their animals with the extra time I have. I currently work part-time as a server with a flexible, open schedule. I would love to spend my free time giving love to all animals. I have a schedule that would allow me to be available to give care to your animals with walks, attention, feeding, and much more! Currently, I live in an apartment complex that does allow pets, but do not have any of my own at the moment. I have dog sat my family's animals for over the past few years, dealing with multiple dogs at once, cats, senior dogs. I would love to expand beyond my family's animals.
About: I’ve been the go to pet sitter for family members and friends. Whether it’s keeping them company for a couple hours to just stopping by to let them out and check their food/water to watching them for multiple days. I work full time and don’t have the ability to work from home. On weekdays after 5pm I’m free to hang out with your pups! During the weekend I have more flexibility to watch or check on your pets. I don’t have any pets and currently live in an apartment complex. There is a lot of open grass space around my apartment complex and is in a good area to walk in. If you prefer your pup be in a crate if I have to leave that will need to be provided, but as long as they are house trained I have no problem with your dog free-roaming my apartment.
“WOW! LAURA was amazing! First of all, I booked with a different Rover person who had to cancel last minute and Laura stepped up without hesitation. That took a ton of stress off of me. Second, she was so sweet with my babies and took amazing pictures while we were away which made me feel better while we were gone. She went above and beyond and even printed them out and had them waiting for us when we came home! IT WAS THE SWEETEST TOUCH EVER! I hate to leave my babies at home but when I do I will absolutely get in touch with Laura again! She was the best!”

About: One of the things that sets me apart is my firsthand experience caring for high-energy, intelligent breeds. I have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m very familiar with the exercise, structure, and attention these dogs need to thrive. I understand that active breeds aren’t just looking for a quick potty break—they need engagement, mental stimulation, and plenty of activity. Because I care for three dogs every day, I’m comfortable managing multiple pets, maintaining routines, and recognizing when a dog needs extra attention or a little more space. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing with company, I’ll make sure they receive personalized care based on their personality and your preferences. I’m dependable, organized, and know how important communication is when you’re away from your pet. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being treated like one of my own. My goal is simple: to provide the same level of care, patience, and attention that I give my own Huskies and Samoyed every single day. Pet care is my full time focus, so your pet will receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I’m available for boarding, daycare, drop-in visits, and walks on both weekdays and weekends, and I can accommodate early mornings, evenings, and many last-minute requests. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing. Your pet will be welcomed into a home with years of experience caring for active, large-breed dogs. I currently have two Huskies and a Samoyed, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs, different personalities, and maintaining consistent routines. I have a securely fenced yard, closely supervise all playtime, and can separate dogs if needed to ensure everyone stays safe and comfortable. I follow each pet’s feeding schedule, medication instructions, and any special care requests, treating every dog like one of my own.

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.
