“Can not say enough positive things about Hillari! My dogs absolutely love her and are so well taken care of. She walks them and has checked on them for house visits. Super communicative, kind and responsive. One of our dogs is a little more particular and she is really great with him as well. We look forward to continuing to book with her 😊 Highly recommend!!!”
“Juliana is great with my two dogs! She is communicative, punctual and easy to work with. She gives my dogs enough potty time and is winning over my anxious dog when she checks in on her and gives her treats. So happy to have her drop in throughout the week when I am at work!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for my neighborhood since middle school. I have watched all kinds of pets from birds to dogs! I love to go for walks and jogs, and am used to high energy pets. I am currently a student at WVU and have morning to afternoon classes with breaks in between. Other than class I am home and always willing to commute. I am very attentive and have taken care of puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats at different points. I have skills and knowledge of how to work with pets of all ages and sizes.
About: With over 12 years of pet care experience, I provide reliable, compassionate care tailored to each pet's unique needs. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and small pets of all ages. I have hands-on experience training puppies, reinforcing basic commands, and helping establish good habits through positive reinforcement. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications to both dogs and cats and providing attentive care for senior pets or those with special needs. Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply a consistent routine, I'll make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. I treat every pet as if they were my own and understand how important it is to give owners peace of mind through dependable, attentive care and regular updates. I am a graduate student with a flexible schedule, especially during the summer months, which allows me to provide attentive and reliable care for your pets. My schedule gives me the ability to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including regular walks, drop-in visits, and extended time with pets who need extra attention. I understand the importance of consistency and routine for animals, and I am happy to work with your pet’s individual schedule to help them feel comfortable and cared for while you are away. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes, where pets are able to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I understand that being in a familiar space can help reduce stress, especially for pets who may be anxious or prefer the comfort of their own home. During each visit, I prioritize safety, trust, and attentive care by following your pet’s established routines, respecting your home, and paying close attention to your pet’s behavior and needs. I am happy to provide updates, photos, and communication throughout my time with your pet so you can have peace of mind while you are away. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for in the place where they feel most comfortable.
“Melissa did a great job caring for our dogs and cat, doing several drops-ins over a weekend. She was reliable, giving us frequent updates which helped make our time away worry-free. The dogs were a little suspicious at first, but she won them over with lots of treats and pets. We will definitely book with Melissa again.”
About: Hi! I’m a 30-year-old nurse and proud beagle mom to my sweet 5-year-old girl. As someone who works long shifts in healthcare, I truly understand how important it is to have reliable, loving care for your pets when life gets busy. That’s why I’m offering drop-in visits for pets in the nearby area, helping give fellow pet parents peace of mind. My schedule can vary, so I kindly ask for 1–2 weeks’ notice to coordinate visits around my work shifts. I’m also open to overnight house sitting depending on availability—we can chat to see what works best! On my days off, I love getting outside and would be happy to take your pup for a walk on a nearby trail—possibly even alongside my own friendly beagle, if you’re comfortable with that. She’s great with other dogs and would love the company! Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a relaxing walk, or some extra love while you’re away, I’m here to help care for them like one of my own. my schedule changes weekly, so my availability is variable. I’m primarily available for drop-in visits close to home on my days off, and I kindly ask for 1 to 2 weeks’ advance notice whenever possible to help me plan ahead. I’m open to overnight stays after building trust and familiarity with clients, but those will depend on my work schedule. I also occasionally travel, so consistent communication is appreciated for long term planning. I do not provide in-home boarding or care at my own home, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own environment. I’ll follow your instructions closely to maintain their routine. Safety and trust are very important to me, and I’m always respectful of your space and your pet’s needs.

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.
