About: I've always loved dogs, and they seem to love me. 🤗 I'm an experienced pet sitter, and I began my pet care jouney as a child, helping to take care of our family's dog. We had a mini schnauzer and later we got a pitt bull. 6 years ago, I adopted my own dog, Rosie, and she's my best friend. 🥰 She still struggles with anxiety due to her past, and I'm sensitive to that, making sure she is as comfortable and calm as possible. I have been pet sitting for 3 years now, and have had a variety of experiences with homes with 5 or 7 dogs, and others with 1 or 2. I’ve also administered medications. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible. But I do have a husband and a 6 year old daughter who’s schedules I need to coordinate with. I will follow any instructions provided, as you know your pet better than anyone, and take care of your home with the same respect I'd take care of my own.

About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!
“Kimberly really took a load off my mind while I was away. I was traveling with my Mother and I was able to concentrate on making her experience great instead of worrying about my pup back home. I would recommend Kimberly to anyone who needs a compassionate, trustworthy care taker for their pets. I was very pleased with her service... A+++++ ;-))”

About: Hi! My name is Ramona. I grew up in Clinton, Oklahoma, and my first job was on an alpaca farm while I was in high school, where I fed them three times a week. I graduated from Cameron University in Lawton, Oklahoma, in May 2025 with a bachelor’s degree in public relations and a minor in foreign languages. Feel free to ask me anything! I ran two half marathons in 2025: the Taylor Swift Fun Run and the Spooky Sprint in Lee’s Summit. I love going on long walks, and unfortunately, because of my lifestyle, I can’t have a dog right now. I’d love the opportunity to watch your fur baby’s though! I would be consistently responsible, highly respectful, and proactively communicative with your space. I truly appreciate very clear communication when it comes to understanding and meeting my clients’ preferences.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Yorkville
Katherine did a great job taking care of Zeus while I was away. She was very caring and sent pictures at every drop-in visit, which I really appreciated and gave me peace of mind throughout my trip. She was reliable, communicated well, and I could tell Zeus was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her.
We love Ashley so much and so do our cats! The peace of mind that comes with a trustworthy pet sitter like Ashley is nearly priceless. We were recently on a cruise with extremely limited WiFi when we got a direct text from Ashley instead of the usual message in the Rover app. There was a minor issue with one of the cats getting into the cabinet where the cat food is kept, and the cats made a huge mess. Everyone was fine and Ashley cleaned up the mess. We really appreciated that she tried every method available to reach out to us to let us know about the incident. And she even went back over to our house to make sure all the cat food was in a better hiding spot!! TL;DR don’t hesitate to book with Ashley!
Miesha was wonderful with my big babies. They loved her immediately from the start of our meet and greet. She made sure to play with my hyper active baby and get a wonderful photo of the lazy one in one of her favorite spots lol. She was definitely a great choice to watch my babies.
Emily is dependable and trustworthy. We are very pleased with how she cared for our dog while we were away. She arrived on time and followed instructions we gave her, ensuring our dog getting her medicine, food and outdoor time. Our dog experienced separation anxiety that she won’t eat meals, Emily communicated honestly what is exactly happening at home, instead of just reporting good news. This allowed us to give the right kind of feedback/tip to her so that our dog started eating. Emily truly care for the wellbeing of dogs under her supervision. I would highly recommend Emily to care for your dogs.
This was my first time utilizing ROVER! I had a last minute trip come up. I came across Samantha, and I can’t say enough positive things about her. She is responsive, patient, sweet, kind and loving.. I have four dogs she took care of, and she always kept me updated. I highly recommend Samantha 🤗🐕🐾🦴🐶

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.
