“Carol was quick to get back to me when initially booking, asked great questions during our meet and greet and sent clear updates. We were happy to have our kitty in such good hands while we were away!”
About: I've spent the last 15 years caring for dogs of every size - from tiny lap dogs to larger breeds - while regularly sitting and walking my parents' pups. I know that a Great Dane and a Chihuahua need very different things, and I'm comfortable handling both with confidence and patience. I'm also experienced with cats: when my sister and her family spent 10 days in Italy, I came by twice a day to feed their two cats and keep their litter box clean, so their pets never missed a beat while they were away. For the last 4 years, I've owned Hiro, a Shiba Inu rescue from the SPCA; he's wonderful with other dogs, but is reactive and distrustful of strangers. Through consistent basic and behavioral training, I've learned firsthand how to read stress signals, manage triggers, and build trust with a dog who needs a little extra patience - skills I bring to every pet I care for, reactive or not. Living with Hiro has taught me a level of attentiveness and calm energy that I think any pet parent would want in a walker and drop-in. Whether your pup is a laid-back senior, a bouncy puppy, or has their own quirks and triggers, I'll treat them like family. I'm reliable, communicative, and happy to send photo/status updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands. Weekends (Fridays-Sundays): Available anytime. Weekdays (Mondays-Thursdays): - Mornings: 06:30 until 07:30 -Evenings: 19:30 until 21:30 Weekends (Fri-Sun) I am usually free all day with the exception of some personal appointments on Fridays. On weekdays (Mon-Thurs), I'm available for early morning visits (06:30-07:30) or evening visits (19:30-21:30) - great for shift workers, healthcare professions, or anyone with early/late schedules! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priority. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own - following your routines, feeding schedules, and any special instructions closely, and never leaving anything to guesswork. My approach is calm and structured, which comes naturally raising Hiro, my reactive Shiba Inu; I'm well practiced in reading stress signals, giving pets space when they need it, and creating a secure, low-stress environment for animals of all temperaments. I communicate openly and often, with photo and text updates so you always know how your pet is doing. Whether I'm in your home for a drop-in, or taking them for a walk, I make sure the environment is secure, hazard-free, and set up for your pet to feel relaxed. You can trust that your dog or cat will be safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for.
“Shirley did an amazing job caring for my 9 chickens and my dog, Lily. I have never left them in the care of someone new before and she spent the time getting to know them, and know the routine, followed all the steps everyday, and truly put my mind at ease with photos and notes about their day. She was flexible with time, great with communication, and above all else took great care of all my animals. Highly recommend and will book again. 💕”
“Can't say enough good things about Harry and Kerri! They are so thoughtful and really understand each pet and their quirkiness and needs. We are so fortunate to have found them to help take care of our dog Harry when needed!”
“Reina watched our dog and cat for 8 days. She showed up on time and never missed a check in with our animals. They were very happy with Reina and comfortable around her. We would definitely book Reina again!”
“Gianna is fantastic! She has stayed with our dogs multiple times now and we always have a great experience. She’s attentive, communicative, and caring. Would recommend her for your future dog care needs”
About: Our journey as a professional pet sitter began 3 years ago, and since then we loved it! We are experienced in providing care and love to a variety breeds, sizes and ages of the fur babies. Our furry guests will have the privileges of enjoying the gentle care along with the routine walks, bonding activities and musical entertainment in a clean and affectionate home. I am a stay-at-home mom so my schedule is pretty flexible for watching your fur babies. If I need to go out and run errands, I take the furry guests with me. We have 2 caged-in bunnies, and it's quite a surprise that they are not afraid of dogs! The bunnies can be relocated to upstairs if needed. Your fur babies will have supervised play in the backyard, and we always make sure to keep our house organized for safety reason. Please let us know your instructions from the vet for any special needs.
“Stephanie was excellent! I had to book last minute because my other Rover Sitter cancelled, and she was able to quickly make a stop in visit to meet my cat. I received pictures and updates about everything that was going on. It just made my vacation so much more relaxing knowing that I had someone as attentive as Stephanie watching my cat!”
“We were very happy with Heather’s services. In addition to our cats she was very comfortable taking care of our parrot. A kind and caring pet sitter. She was also able to give medication twice a day to one of our elderly cats.”
“Michael is the best! Our dog loves him and is always very happy when we come home. Michael helped us out in a pinch when we needed someone to drop in on our dog last minute. He’s quick to respond and very responsible. I’d recommend him to anyone. 10/10”
About: Hi! I’m Karen — a lifelong dog lover with a calm, reliable personality and flexible schedule. After 10+ years in the corporate pharmaceutical world, I’m taking time to focus on something that truly brings me joy — caring for dogs. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits so your pup can stay comfortable in their own home. I’m also a proud dog mom to Benny, my small rescued Morkie. Adopting him has taught me patience, gentleness, and how important it is to make dogs feel safe and secure. Although I’m new to Rover, I’ve cared for and walked friends’ dogs of different sizes and temperaments. I’m punctual, detail-oriented, respectful of your home, and I provide clear updates with photos after each visit. I’d love to care for your dog as if they were my own. 🐾 Since I’m not currently working in corporate anymore, my weekdays are fully available to care for all the neighborhood furries. I live in Yardley with my husband and Benny. Benny gets along wonderfully with small dogs, and I’d be more than happy to host your furry baby at our home for the day. We have a backyard and plenty of nature around us for safe, enjoyable time outdoors. If you prefer care in your home, just share all the instructions and routines, and I’ll gladly take loving care of your furry baby there as well.
About: I’m a lifelong dog owner with 6 years of hands on experience caring for my own dog, Marley. I understand how important it is to have someone dependable caring for your pet. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, keeping routines consistent, and giving lots of attention and affection. I’ll always follow your instructions and provide updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away. I’m especially patient with energetic dogs and happy to use basic cues or routines your dog already knows. I have a flexible schedule and will make sure your pet receives plenty of attention, exercise, potty breaks, and playtime. I’m available for scheduled walks, drop in visits, and pet sitting depending on your needs. I take pet safety very seriously and will follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, and house rules. I’ll keep your pet supervised, comfortable, and secure and will provide updates so you know how they’re doing.
About: I've grown up with dogs when I lived with my mom. When I moved out, my fiancé and I adopted our very own dog, JD. A year later, we rescued our Coco, and have had so much fun watching our pups grow together and giving them the best life as possible. My brother and sister each have their own dogs who I love just as much as my own and will always care for them and play for them. I have neighbors and family friends who have relied on me to either house sit while they are away or visit a few times a day to walk and feed their pets. My favorite thing is puppy snuggles! I would love to care for your animals when you are away and make their time away from you the best it can be for them. :) I am an elementary teacher. During the summers, I spend my time tutoring or working a summer school program which typically ends by 1pm at the latest. I am an early bird as well, so I am able to get in a quick walk with your pet prior to my work day starting, and am free in the afternoons during the summer to play with your dog! As a pet caretaker, I will do whatever is needed so as to not break your dogs structure and routines. I am flexible and only want what is best for your dog and family!

“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Diane to check in on our dog, Riley, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the moment we met, Diane demonstrated a genuine love for animals and a high level of professionalism. She was in tune with Riley’s needs and followed all the instructions we provided for feeding, watering and caring for Riley. Diane sent photos and an update from her check in visit which gave us peace of mind, knowing Riley was in good hands. I highly recommend Diane Hanna to anyone in need of a reliable, caring, and professional dog sitter. Thank you Diane for taking such good care of Riley!”
About: I am a foster mom for a rescue. I have always had multiple dogs. I’m the go to dog lady for many family friends and neighbors. I’ll probably forget your name but I’ll remember your dogs name. I currently work part time. I prefer to hang out with my dogs. I can also just make pop ins to give your baby some love! I have a very large fenced in yard. I have 3 children that help me with the dogs and have been taught to respect animals.
“First time using Rover and have been so glad Peggy has been able to take care of my older girls. They love having a break in their day while waiting for me to get home from work with her company. :)”
“Laura was incredibly responsive and communicative from the start, and she was willing to take care of my dog on very short notice. My dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I truly appreciate her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodbourne
Elizabeth was wonderful! She was able to help us out last minute when an unexpected home renovation led to a weekend away, and we really appreciated her flexibility! She took great care of all four of our pets, was fantastic with communication, and kept us updated throughout the weekend. Our pets seemed to really like her, which made us feel even better about leaving them in her care. We would absolutely recommend Elizabeth and would happily book her again!
Shirley was wonderful. She provided updates each day she was here. She came when Anne was going to and she provided us multiple pictures each day of our doggie and kitty cats. I knew they were in good hands with Shirley while we were away. Thanks so much. I definitely recommend using Shirley and would use her again for future trips.
This was our first time using Alexa and she was wonderful!! Our kitties really liked her and followed her around everywhere. I could tell by the many pictures that our cats were super comfortable with her and enjoyed play time. She also went her way to accommodate our picky eater cat 😻 We felt comfortable being away and will Definitely use her in the future!!
I have had several good Rover sitters. None compare to Kendyl. You will see when you meet her that she is a warm, genuine person who exudes love for pets. She was the only catsitter that my cat ran to when she came in. She showed up on time. She carried out my many directions. She gave my cat medicine. Her photos of my cat were reassuring. When I got home, after almost two weeks, everything looked exactly as it did when I left—clean! I have an unfathomable, indescribable love for my cat. He is at least 17, with vulnerable health. I hate leaving him. I worry about him. I had Kendyl come three times a day. Thanks to her, I had peace of mind that contributed a wonderful vacation with my son. If you need a sitter, reach out to her right away. She has high demand for her reasonably priced service. Thank you, Kendyl!

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.
