About: My experience comes from owning not just dogs (XL-XS) and cats, but many animals in my lifetime. To me, living with these animals is the best way to gain experience. I have also done many house sitting jobs for people with lots of pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy doing. To me, the most important thing is establishing trust with your sitter, and I am a guaranteed safe person to trust any animal with. I’m great at reading animal body language and typically do well with all pets. I work at Panera, so my hours are not crazy, and never are usually longer than 4 hours, so pet sitting works great with my schedule. My college is also online so that doesn’t effect my schedule for the most part. In a clients home, it’s important to follow all of the instructions they provide, while also making their pets feel as if the owners never left.
“Lynn was a lifesaver! She was reliable, communicated every day with me, and noticed Rocky’s feeder was malfunctioning. She gave him the food he needed, and Iet me know so I was able to fix the feeder remotely. Rocky seemed very happy to see me, and was well taken care of. Definitely will use Lynn again!”
“I will definitely use Kelsee's services the next time we travel. She was always pleasant and flexible. I could not have asked for better. She gave us just enough contact with text and photos to keep us comfortable. We knew our 20-year-old cat was in good hands. She also kept the wild birds fed and potted plants watered. Thank you Kelsee!”
About: I have cared for and cherished so many animals my whole life, from puppies to senior fur-babies, big and small. Being a former mail carrier (*insert mailman being chased by dog punchline*), I befriended animals everyday on my routes, and with this I understand, and take seriously, the respect, safety, and awareness needed in becoming acquainted with new furry friends. Anything from Lhasa apso to cocker spaniel to labradoodle to pit bull and to Doberman, you name it, I’ve cared for them! I’ve spent many years administering, vet-approved, health/quality of life medications (anxiety, infections, fleas, etc.), bathing/brushing/drying, and exercising dogs. I love seniors and puppies all the same, all are welcome! It is my mission to provide ease and comfort for you, and your beloved fur-family, until you're back home with them again; all while doing something that I love :) My current schedule is open 7 days a week, from early morning, up until 8pm at night. Anything from a walk, a couple hours, or part of a day, I’ll take care of them! My home resides in a quiet suburb, and includes the following:. OUTDOOR: - Supervised backyard time (potty and play) - Tall fenced yard - Large grass area - Chlorinated swimming pool (parent permission mandatory-warm weather only-72°and up) INDOOR: - Baby gates for stair access (2 story home) - Flat or fluffy dog beds - Toys (tennis balls, soccer ball, football, frisbees, and unripped squeaky toys) - Medium and large indoor kennel - Food and water bowls - Potty pads - Treats (parent permission needed)
About: I’ve had dogs around me since I was a baby! Growing up I’d take our dogs on vacations regularly so I am well equip to know how to feed, walk, and care for any dog in any environment. I also have volunteered at our local animal shelter which has taught me how to care for dogs who may not be the best behaved. I am a full time college student with a very flexible schedule. I have classes throughout the week, but plenty of free time in between the classes to care for your pets. I am a kinesiology major, meaning I love being active! I will take your pets on long walks and ensure they get lots of outdoor time to get their energy out. I live in a house in Marina. I live in a quiet neighborhood with a fenced backyard. I have no pets of my own so your fur baby will have all the freedom it needs at my house!
About: With over 8 years of experience in caring for dogs and a lifetime of growing up with them, I have developed a deep understanding and love for these furry companions. When your fur baby stays with us, they become a part of our family. From puppies to seniors requiring medication, I have cared for dogs of all ages and health conditions, including diabetic dogs that need shots twice a day. I have also provided assistance to dogs with mobility issues, ensuring their comfort and safety. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am available throughout the day to provide constant care and attention to your beloved pet. Although I may need to run occasional errands or drop off my daughter at school, I prioritize being at home to cater to your dog's needs. My dedication stems from having a disabled son who thrives in the comfort of our home environment. Rest assured, your fur baby will have the freedom to roam in our fenced yard, enjoying in and out privileges. To ensure that each dog's unique requirements are met, I make it a point to gather as much information as possible about them. This allows me to tailor their care specifically to their needs, regardless of what they may be. Additionally, I feed each dog separately, carefully observing their eating habits. For the safety and peace of mind of both the dog and myself, I crate new dogs at night until we become acquainted with each other. This helps establish a sense of trust and familiarity, ensuring a calm and comfortable environment for everyone involved. When your fur baby stays with us, they can expect not only the utmost care but also an abundance of love. I take pride in treating every dog as if they were my own, creating a nurturing and welcoming home away from home for them. New customers please ask me for my promo discount of $20 off your first booking on Rover if you are new to Rover. I am a full time stay at home mom. Therefore, I am home all day unless I run errands of picking up and dropping off my daughter at school or doing shopping for the house. Other then that I am home all day since I have a son who is disabled and enjoys being home. I have a fenced yard. So they are allowed in and out privileges. I like to know as much as possible about your fur baby so I know how to make sure I'm caring for them properly, regardless of what there needs are. I do feed everyone separately to see what is or is not being eaten. I also crate at night new dogs always until them and I learn each other.
About: I’ve grown up in an animal-filled home and currently have three dogs of my own. For the past two years, I’ve been a dog sitter/dog walker, and have provided services such as; drop-in visits, doggy daycare, overnight house sitting, bathing, and walks. I love being around animals and want to make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for! I’m available 6 days a week, excluding Mondays, from 11 AM to 10 PM. I’m currently looking for part-time work and would love to help fill my schedule by caring for animals! I have a fenced backyard, a bunch of toys and treats, and two friendly dogs who love to play. I can separate dogs if needed.
About: I have several years of hands-on experience caring for my own Beagle, who is friendly, well-socialized, and accustomed to living with people. Through daily walks, feeding, training reinforcement, grooming, and routine health care, I’ve learned how to provide a safe, structured, and loving environment for dogs. My home is a clean, smoke-free single-family house with a secure fenced backyard where dogs can safely play and relax. I only accept a limited number of dogs at a time so that every guest receives plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine. Whether your dog enjoys playtime, quiet naps, or extra cuddles, I’ll follow your care instructions carefully and provide regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I have a PhD in Pharmaceutical Sciences, so my background is closely connected to health, medications, biology, and careful observation. My training has made me very attentive to details such as changes in appetite, energy level, behavior, hydration, and daily routine, and I am comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medication schedules when needed. This scientific background naturally carries over into how I care for pets—I tend to notice small changes, keep routines consistent, and take safety and wellbeing seriously. I have a flexible schedule and spend plenty of time at home, so pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I already care for my own friendly Beagle and provide regular walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and supervision throughout the day. I am available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends, with flexible drop-off and pick-up times. My home is clean, quiet, and dog-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard that I specifically designed with my dog in mind. I wanted him to have a safe and comfortable outdoor space for potty breaks, playtime, exploring, and relaxing, so the backyard was planned to be both secure and easy for dogs to enjoy under supervision. I understand how important routine and a comfortable environment are, especially when a dog is staying somewhere unfamiliar. Dogs are never left outside unattended and always have access to fresh water, cozy indoor spaces, and plenty of attention. I treat every dog like part of the family and communicate regularly with owners through updates, photos, and videos. Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, potty schedule, energy level, personality, and any medical needs or behavioral concerns. For everyone’s safety and comfort, I prefer dogs that are friendly with other dogs since I have a male Beagle at home. My home is clean, quiet, and pet-friendly, with a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely enjoy supervised outdoor time. I have a friendly, well-socialized Beagle, so I understand the importance of keeping pets comfortable and maintaining a consistent routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Youngstown
Diana was wonderful! She has such a warm, natural energy that immediately put my pets and I at ease. The dogs were instantly obsessed with her wanting attention, and even my two normally shy cats came out to greet her! She was attentive, thoughtful, and detail oriented throughout her visit, it is clear she has a natural connection with animals. She’s very knowledgeable and asks all the right questions, I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I would wholeheartedly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a caring, attentive, and trustworthy pet sitter!
Chloe took great care of my cat and was amazing with communication! She made sure to update me with photos of my cat while I was gone and how she was behaving and if there were any issues that I should be made aware of, and I could tell from the photos she sent that my cat enjoyed the time she spent with her. Highly recommend!!
This is the second time Megan took care of Lilo & Stitch for us and she was wonderful! She sent lots of pictures and gave us a summary of the drop in visit. Best of all she was able to drop in on a short notice. We look forward to booking her again in the future!

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.
