“Marina is very trustworthy and excellent with dogs, cats, and all sorts of animals. She took care of my ferret, my bearded dragon, cats, dog and watched over my fish! She really is an animal person and was the utmost professional, can't speak well enough of her services!”
About: I have always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats. I had a dog for 10 years and currently have a young puppy and a senior cat. I’m comfortable with feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I’m responsible, patient, and happy to follow each pet’s individual routine and care instructions. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide pet care throughout the week. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime, and I can work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine. I’m happy to provide regular updates and give your pet plenty of attention while you’re away. I have a puppy and a senior cat at home who are both very loved and well cared for. I make sure they have fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, playtime, exercise, and plenty of attention. I keep their living areas clean and safe and make sure they get the care and supervision they need throughout the day.
About: I've grown up having dogs and cats. I love farm animals. I take care of others people's pets like my own. My husband and I have two dogs named Bonnie and Rufus. I am a stay at home wife. So pet care is the best fit for me. I also love animals so I really enjoy taking care of pets. I currently do not have a fence in yard. My dog Bonnie stays indoors. I can use a collar and leash. I can also use a crate if needed.
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have two of my own. Sadly I am allergic to cats so I can't watch them but I can stop by for feedings in the evenings. I am available on the weekends to dog-sit or take them for walks / play dates. I'd like to meet the dog(s) before dog sitting or walking them so we can get a feel for one another. Your dog will be treated like my own baby.... Spoiled rotten. I'll to give you updates and let you know when I'm in and out of your house and how your baby is doing. If your baby has an accident that's ok it'll be cleaned up before you get home. I want this to be an enjoyable experience for you and your pooch.
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Leona! She showed up right on time and, most importantly, she truly spent time with our dogs rather than simply letting them out and heading back out. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about them and wanted to make sure they were happy and well taken care of. We also loved getting regular updates and pictures while we were away—it gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Leona was great to work with, reliable, caring, and so easy to communicate with. We will definitely be using her again the next time we go out of town. We highly recommend Leona.”
About: I have grown up with dogs, and I have experience working at a veterinary clinic where I cared for dogs daily. Your animals will be in great hands! I have just moved to Florida and I am available mostly anytime any day. If anything changes I will update my availability as soon as possible. I am capable of caring for your animal in the ways you need, whether it is feeding, walking, playing, or anything else you might want!
“No need to click on any other provider! Meagan is the one for you. If I could give her 10 stars, I would. She took amazing care of our pups and our home, going above and beyond. We will definitely be booking with her again if we ever need care.”
“Hope was great, she was very professional and flexible with the house visit. She was also very sweet and kind with my pups and she sent photo updates while we were out. I will definitely reach out to her again in the future and will recommend her to others.”
“We really appreciated Abigail's help with taking care of our cat while we were gone over the holidays. She gave great updates every visit with pictures. We will definitely try to use her again when we need someone for our pets.”
“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”
“Ashton took great care of my 12 week old puppy! She was very flexible with the last minute booking, offered to meet up prior to leaving and attentive to all care instructions. Highly recommend Ashton. Also my pup enjoyed playing with her kiddos.”
“Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!”
About: I have had pets my whole life and have spent years house and pet sitting for friends and family. I am in the Army National Guard and have childcare experience, which has helped me become patient, reliable, and attentive. I am very loving and kind, and I naturally connect well with animals of all ages, including energetic puppies and senior pets. I work weekdays from 2 to 8, which allows me to be available for morning, midday, and overnight pet care. I have National Guard training one weekend each month, but I am available every other weekend to care for your pets. When caring for clients’ pets, I learn their routine and follow instructions closely to keep them comfortable and stress free. I provide plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, and exercise based on their needs. I am happy to walk or jog with dogs and always create a safe, calm, and loving environment while you are away.
About: My name is Alicia. I’ve been a teacher for 18 years. I have had pets for as long as I can remember. As far as “on my own” pets; I’ve owned five dogs, a cat, 4 gerbils, and 2 ferrets. I have experience in medication administration. I had a seizure baby as well so I’m familiar with them also. I have always been super close with my pets and they are allowed free roam of the house and love snuggling on the furniture. I wish I could provide in home services, but currently have a foster staying with me. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. I’m currently working flexible hours, so I have varying availability most days! When doing drop by visits to feed or give potty breaks, I make sure to spend a little extra time giving them attention. I’ve found animals can get their feelings hurt a bit when we rush in and rush out on a care visit. I want them to feel special and know that everything is good until your return. I love animals and am familiar with many different sizes/breeds. Just let me know what your specific pet needs/preferences are and I will make sure they are comfortable, cared for, and loved.
About: I have grown up on a farm and have been taking care of animals all my life. I have a passion for helping and love all dogs and cats. I have a medical background and don’t shy away from administering medicine, shots and pills. I have delivered many litters and am comfortable around older or sick dogs. I stay home right now and all of our kids are out of the house. So now I only have our furry babies at home. I provide safe and clean environment for my pets. Keep them all up to date on their health care. Give them lots of love and attention.
About: I am a current psychology student at GCSC , planning to apply my degree as an animal trainer. I have completed 2 marine mammal training internships and 1 seasonal aviculture position in a professional care setting. Growing up we had cats in the home but I grew up around dogs pet sitting for my childhood neighborhood. Additionally I have worked at a Pet Supplies Plus location gaining exposure to small mammals, reptiles and fish. Outside of school I currently volunteer with Ocean Connections , working with Labrador Retrievers , Macaws and observing California Sea Lions. As a mostly online student I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide services at your convenience! I currently have availability Monday + Wednesdays before 11 or after 12:15 , Tuesdays + Thursdays after 10:15 am & all day Saturday. Currently on Sundays I volunteer with a local animal rescue from 8-1 pm but am able to clear availability if given reasonable time to accommodate! I pride myself on being a diligent individual who takes the safety and integrity of the animals in my care as my upmost responsibility. With experience working in professional care environments checking even the most mundane things twice is second nature to me.

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.
