“Adam and Amanda helped with my last minute pet sitting request! They were quick to respond, fed my puppers on time, sent me photos of them enjoying cuddles which made me feel like they actually cared 😊. I will definitely use them next time I need some doggy care!”
“Hannah was amazing. We were in town staying in an RV park and had to travel all day to a wedding. We worked it out that Hannah would drop by twice and let our fur baby out. She was prompt in arriving giving a check in and check out notice when she arrived and left and a report including pictures of the visit. My mind was completely at ease so I could enjoy the day. Thank you so much!!”
“We've used Laura twice now to watch our two cats and she is the best! She's friendly, reliable, thoughtful, and takes the time to locate our scaredy cat that is usually hiding. I highly highly recommend Laura!”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of animals since I was 16. Dogs, cats, fish, birds, lizards and a rabbit. I have experience in older animals who need medication multiple times a day. I'm currently working part-time with few hours so I have a very flexible schedule and will have plenty of time to meet the need of you and your pet! I stick to a strict schedule if any kind of medicine is involved. Aside from that I am more laid back in my approach to pet-sitting. I love giving treats and extended play times!
“Brian did a great job with our 2 dogs. Always on time, always providing feedback. My dogs love seeing the Brain and are well cared for. We use Brian all the time. Great job Brian!”
“Katie is an exceptional animal caretaker. I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking proper care for their pets. We’ll definitely be using her services every time we can in the future.”
About: Growing up, I have always found it easy and rewarding to take care of animals I have learned to be very attentive and receptive to the needs of furry friends and just find them to be such nice listeners in return 😂 We used to have a house full of dogs and cats and it was more a pleasure, than a chore, to get to interact and take care of them. All that to say, I am completely confident and comfortable in my ability to assist in any way when it comes to our four (or 1,2, and 3) legged pals! I just moved to the Richmond/Midlothian area so I’m looking for some good chances to earn some savings doing what I love!! I have pretty open availability! I don’t sit at my house only for the fact of my two French and English bulldog babies! They tend to get tense and wouldn’t want any discomfort for any other pet! I am very respectful to the needs of the client and their furry companions!!
“Amy is great. She obviously loves animals, and she spends time with them during her visits. We felt godo knowing we had someone such as Amy caring for our doggie while we were away.”
About: I’ve raised 4 dogs and currently have a golden retriever and cocker spaniel that would like some new friends to play with. I have trained three dogs from the time they were puppies. I have worked as a human healthcare provider and am not averse to administering medications. I’m currently a homemaker and rarely leave home, usually just to run an errand if need be, or attend church. Currently no children in the home. I have a large approximately 1/2 acre semi wooded fenced yard and let the dogs out every 2 hours or so. We live in a quiet neighborhood near Woodlake. We do have a couple crates for our animals that could be utilized to keep your dogs on a routine if necessary.
“Cassy was fantastic! She gave my dogs so much attention and sent me lots of pictures at each visit. I knew they were being well taken care of. I highly recommend her, and of course would have her take care of my dogs again.”
“Wesley is so wonderful. I have a very skittish Mastiff and Wesley went out of his way to bond with him. He took the best care of both my dogs. He was prompt and accommodating. I would recommend him to anyone.”
About: I’ve had about 5 years of personal experience taking care of doggies from puppies to full grown dogs! Ive also helped take care of my bestfriends dog while she was out of town, feeding her, loving on her, playing with her, going on walks! Im looking forward to creating a bond with your furbabies and taking great care of them :) Im unemployed at the moment so I have lots of free time during the day in between the hours of 10am-4pm. Id love to be able to assist in anyway I can to help take care of your pets, whether it be just a little check up, playtime, walking, or refilling water bowls while youre away at work. I love giving time and love to my aunts dogs they are hounds. From going on walks to playing inside with a good toy or even just interacting with them outside and allowing them to run around to get their energy out. Physical activity is very important for dogs health as it is for humans so combining the 2 is definitely something I look forward to. Both getting in good exercise and not being stuck in the house all day! Adventure awaits !
About: I have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I currently have a seven-month-old Golden Retriever puppy named Archie, so I’m very familiar with puppy routines, training, potty breaks, and high-energy playtime. I also raised two of my mom's Pomeranians, Flynn and Pepper, from puppyhood and lived with and cared for them daily for years. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with both small and large breeds, as well as the patience, consistency, and attention that dogs need to feel safe and comfortable. Caring for animals fits very naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely love spending time with pets and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved! I’m currently working toward my teaching license this summer, which gives me a flexible schedule and lots of availability for walks, drop-ins, playtime, cuddles, and keeping pets company throughout the day. I can handle nearly any issue that concerns dogs, whether that be giving medicine to your pup or cleaning up vomit, I can do it all! I also have no issue training new puppies for certain tasks, so feel free to ask me.
“Very pleased with Katie's service, posted plenty of pictures and interacted with me when I had questions and requests. The cats looked like they enjoyed play time and were just as happy when I came back as when I left.”

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.
