“She was great! She did an amazing job taking care of our girls, and was so good at communicating and keeping us updated! She went above and beyond, I’m so glad we found her! Thank you!!”
“Tina is an amazing sitter! My dog absolutely adores her and her daughter. She is always punctual, communicative, respectful of my home, and cares for my dog like he’s one of her own. I look forward to the pictures she sends every day and can see how happy he is with her. I HIGHLY recommend her!”
About: I’m a NICU nurse looking to turn my love for animals into something I can do on the side. While this is my first time offering pet-sitting services professionally, I have years of experience caring for animals and am very comfortable with both cats and dogs. I currently have four cats of my own, but my family has many dogs I deeply love. I’m used to volunteer at PETS until I had my son, because helping animals is something I’m truly passionate about. As a NICU nurse, I’m patient, responsible, attentive, and detail-oriented. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, and I would treat your cat/dog with the same love and care I give my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding, or just some extra company while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I work three 12-hour shifts per week as a NICU nurse, and my schedule varies, but this gives me flexibility on my days off to spend time caring for your pets! My husband is also involved and helps provide flexibility with our schedule. I can coordinate my availability around your pet’s needs and am happy to communicate ahead of time to make sure we find a schedule that works for everyone. I understand how important consistency and reliable care are for your pets, and I want to make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away! I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved, especially when their owners are away! I have four cats of my own and have grown up around dogs and other animals, so I’m comfortable caring for both cats and dogs with different personalities and needs. When caring for pets in their own homes, I will follow their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, fresh water, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I understand that pets are most comfortable in familiar surroundings, and I want to make their time away from their owners as stress-free as possible. As a NICU nurse, I’m patient, attentive, responsible, and detail-oriented. I will take the time to understand your pet’s individual needs and follow any specific instructions you provide. I also know how important communication is, so I’m happy to send updates and pictures to give you peace of mind while you’re away!
“Both of my cats have their quirks and health needs, but Dani was able to ease my worries about leaving them in her care. She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!”
About: Had pets my whole life. I walk all the time and know where to take them and have an SUV with enough room to fit them in. Have 2 children who adore all animals. I have a full time job, Tuesday through Saturday, but I’m usually home around 2-4 pm. I’m available every evening and can stop to let them out during the day because of my job flexibility. I love both ends of the spectrum. I love being active and taking dogs for walk/runs. I also love relaxing and cuddling with them and getting to know what their preferences. Will follow all strict diet rules and keep a very clean house to avoid unwanted eating restrictions.
About: I've owned and cared for pets of all sorts, as well as show and farm animals, since I was a small child. I love them all and they all usually love me, even the one's people say don't like men/people. I'm also big and boisterous, equating to perfect (but kind) dominance and control, as well as capabilities the average person might not be able to do, like separating dog fights or controlling unruly large animals. I'm currently self-employeed and can craft my schedule at will to fit any needs! Available for walks, sitting, overnight boarding, and pop in visits at all times. I have 3 dogs, 6 cats, and a frog. Large home and almost a half acre yard, fence coming soon. I am no stranger to all types of animals and animal care.
“Kathy did a wonderful job not only caring for my cats as if they were her own, but her communication with me was above and beyond. I felt very secure that my cats were well taken care of during our vacation and she made a sincere effort to befriend and nuture our pets when we couldn’t be there. I would highly recommend and will be booking Kathy again on our next trip!”
About: I've been a pet owner almost my entire life. I've cared for hamsters, cats, and dogs primarily. I have a certificate from Animal Behavior College in basic dog training and care, along with experience working with shelter dogs. I look forward to caring for your pet. I would love to be able to care for pets full time. I am currently available for scheduled dog walks and/or dog/cat drop-ins most times during the week and on weekends. I promise to treat your pet with the utmost care and respect with safety as a top priority. Feel free to speak with me about any of your concerns.
“Amanda was amazing! She cared for our 2 dogs as if they were her own. She worked with us being first time users of the app. She went out of her way to ensure we as well as our dogs were comfortable and at ease! Thank you for the wonderful job you did for us!”
About: I’ve grown up in many households of pets - right now I have a great dane (Luna)! Past experience with puppies to older dogs including chihuahuas, doodles, labs, pitbulls, bulldogs, german shepherds, boxers, retrievers, great danes, etc! I’ve done any care including feeding, bathing, potty breaks, cleaning, walking, etc. Between May-August my schedule revolves around my part time job, but I am very flexible. During the school year, August-May, I am a full time nursing student, but still available most evenings and weekends! I will care for your pets in your home just as I would want a sitter to do in my own! Your pet’s comfort and keeping your space in good shape is my top priority.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for family & friends over the years, and I’m looking to pet-sit/house-sit more often by using Rover! I have experience with dogs and cats. I mostly stay in the home while the owner is away to maintain stability for the pet, while owners are away on trips. I love spending time with animals and snapping funny or cute photos of them to share with their owners while they’re away! I’ll take good care of your fur-baby and show them lots of love! I’m available for walks, feedings, potty breaks and play time for individual days or several days at a time! I work full time M-F but can work remotely from your home and take breaks! I believe that pets are most comfortable when we stick to their schedules, so I do my best to keep to them! I also enjoy texting photos and updates to their owner.
“Sophia was great! She came over to meet my cat before I left for my trip and to understand everything I needed done while away. She gave updates each stop in and some pictures too. 10/10!”
About: I have 4 cats at home! I love cats, I take care of them all the time. I had dogs while growing up, so I also have dog expeirence! I help neighbors out with their dogs as well, experience I had bunnies. So I can take care of all sorts of animals! I am completing my Masters Degree and Dietetic Internship right now. My schedule is a little flexible so best to just shoot me a message to let me know what you need! I will watch your pets at home, I will keep an eye on them and walk them on a leash if need or keep them in the fenced area. If its a cat, I will gladly feed it, ill play with it, and make sure it doesn’t get outside if its an indoor one! My schedule is flexible, best to shoot me a message to discuss details and we will figure out what is needed and best for you. Thanks! I make sure that the animals are always taken care of, they are fed, walked daily, played with and give lots of love and attention to them! I will make sure that they are on a leash when outside, if there is no fence. If there is a fence, I will make sure they are kept inside the fence!
“Kayla noticed that one of my cats was struggling to finish their food during her visits, which resulted in my other cat trying to eat it. Her response to this dilemma was truly above and beyond: Kayla would hide the leftover food and make a second trip over later in the day (even though only one daily visit was requested) to make sure my cat ate the remaining food and didn't go hungry!”
About: I have volunteered at animal rescues and done pet sitting, and I grew up with lots of animals, including cats and dogs. Through all of this, I find I continue to have a passion for caring for animals. I have several years of experience pet-sitting. I have done dog walking, drop in visits, and long term pet-sitting. I follow the individual routines of each animal I pet-sit. I also make sure to give the animals social interaction and play with them I currently have full availability for pet care. I create a well organized schedule and keep up to date with it. I fit pet care into my daily routine with written and online schedules. Putting time and attention into each pet. I care for pets in a clients home with patience and attention. Depending on the needs of each pet I will keep notes on what they need. And fully implement the care that they need. Giving each pet my full attention during my visit to ensure they are safe and happy.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Wintersville
Kristina has been helping with our puppy when we have to be out of the house for long work days. She is always on time, and he is always happy to see her. She provides updates and photos, and we are so grateful that he gets some fun and activity on those days. I highly recommend her for pet care.
Danielle has been a truly reliable, conscientious and helpful sitter. A year and a half ago, we adopted a rescue that was more challenging than I anticipated. She has been thoughtful and understanding with our senior female cat (who does not tolerate the dog) and our 4 year old male rescue shi/chi dog (who demands all the attention). We're very thankful for Danielle. 🙂

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
