“Mike immediately was one of Freddy’s favorite humans. He had a natural positive energy when he met Freddy for the first time and it’s still like that. He’s communicative and shows up on time. It’s great to have someone reliable to take care of our furry family member while we’re working.”

About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals. Growing up with a dog, and later having both my sisters adopt cats. Pets were my first best friends. They taught me love, responsibility, and how much joy animals bring into a home. Now that I’m taking a break from school, I’m leaning into something that’s always come naturally to me: caring for animals. I also have my EMT certification, which helps me stay calm, attentive, and safety‑minded while looking after pups. Making sure they feel safe, happy, and understood is genuinely one of my favorite things in the world. I’m free during the week and occasionally on weekends. Feel free to message me anytime. Things change often, so don’t hesitate to reach out. My schedule is easy to move around, and I’m usually able to make things work with a little heads up. I respond quickly too, so you won’t be waiting long to hear back from me. I’m always happy to help and make things as smooth and easy as possible. Right now I’m focusing on dog walking and stop‑ins since I’m getting started again on the app. I used it for about a month before taking a long break, and now I’m back and excited to build things up. I’ve always loved working with pups, so easing in with walks and quick visits feels like the perfect way to start. Eventually I’ll be offering doggy day care too, but for now I’m all about great walks, reliable check‑ins, and making sure your dog feels cared for every time I show up. If you ever want to talk through what you need, I’m always happy to chat.

“Alondra took wonderful care of my two dogs and bunny while we were away. She was always punctual with her check-ins, made sure the dogs got outside to use the bathroom each visit, and kept us updated along the way. It was clear that all of our pets loved her and were comfortable in her care. We had complete peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book Alondra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”

About: I have experience caring for both cats and dogs with a wide range of personalities and needs, from energetic and playful to shy, senior, or more independent pets. I’m comfortable caring for pets of all ages, including those who may need extra attention, routine, or patience. I’ve also cared for a variety of animals beyond cats and dogs, which has helped me develop a calm, adaptable approach to pet care. My focus is always on making sure each pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I primarily provide care in clients’ homes to keep pets comfortable in their own environment and maintain their usual routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe experience by following each pet’s established habits, routines, and care instructions closely.

“Nicole did an amazing job with our 15-year old grandpa cat while we were out of town. She's friendly and attentive and was very persistent with getting our cat to eat his pill (a tough job even for us). Her Rover comments were detailed and always came with nice pics so we felt comfortable knowing he was being well taken cared of. He loves attention and usually is a little stressed when we return from trips after being without us, but this time he was the most chill we've ever seen him, thanks to the great care he got from Nicole. We look forward to having her catsit again!”

About: I’m a reliable and caring college student who genuinely enjoys being around animals. I’ve had my two cats for the past two years, so I’m used to feeding them, cleaning litter boxes, playing with them, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable every day. I’ve also helped friends care for their dogs by feeding them, taking them on walks, playing with them, and keeping them company while they were away. Outside of pet care, I’ve worked as a private caregiver and in customer service, which has taught me how to be responsible, patient, and dependable. I know how important it is to trust someone with a loved one, whether it’s a person or a pet, and I’ll always treat your pets with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m currently a college student and work part time so I make sure to plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. I’m available on many weekdays and weekends and will always make time to give your pet the attention, exercise and care they deserve. I’ll keep you updated while you’re away so you know your pet is in good hands. I know every pet has their own routine, and I always do my best to stick to it. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or stopping by for visits, I’ll follow your instructions carefully and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ve cared for my own two cats for the past two years and have also helped friends care for their dogs through feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. My experience as a private caregiver has taught me to be patient, dependable, respectful of other people’s homes, and attentive to small details, so you can feel confident that your pet will be treated like one of my own.

About: I’ve always been a huge dog lover and dogs have always been a big part of my life. I recently lost my Beagle and while I’m not quite ready to have another dog of my own, I truly miss having a dog around. Caring for your pup feels like the perfect way to have some extra four legged company while giving your dog lots of love and attention! I’m responsible, patient, and dependable and I’ll treat your dog like they are my own. I’m happy to provide walks, potty breaks, playtime, feeding and plenty of cuddles. I’ll also make sure to follow your dog’s normal routine and give them a safe and loving atmosphere! I work during the school day Monday-Friday, but I’m available after work and have much more flexibility on weekends. I’m available for boarding on weekends. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that works for both you and your pup! Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll provide a clean, calm and loving home environment where your pup can feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, potty routines, and any special needs or preferences. I’ll also keep a close eye on your dog throughout the time I’m in charge of them. I know how important it is to trust someone with your pet and I’ll treat your dog like they are part of my family.

About: Hello! I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals. From a young age, I've been surrounded by pet bunnies, cats, dogs and lizards. I would like to keep taking care of your furry family members and, my number 1 priority is to make sure they're happy, healthy, and loved. It's not just me though, my boyfriend, Gill A. also joins me on these sits, so your furry friend gets double the love! As dedicated pet caregivers, we understand certain pets unique needs and preferences. Whether providing nourishing meals, engaging in interactive play sessions, or offering gentle companionship and cuddles! If your pet happens to be a lizard, maybe no cuddling, but we will make sure they are well fed and happy! In addition to essential care tasks, we both offer various fun activities, specifically to cats and dogs so that they are entertained and mentally stimulated. This may include interactive toy play, puzzle feeders, and laser point games. For dogs, this would include playing some tug of war, fetch, or frisbee! Every pet deserves the best care possible, and we are here to provide just that. If you need caring and responsible sitters who will treat your furry friend like family, please don't hesitate to reach out. We would be honored to care for your beloved furry family member!

This allows me to dedicate focused time and attention to pets, ensuring they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve For in-home pet care, we prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment for pets.

We also offer personalized attention and follow the owner's specific care instructions to ensure their pet's well-being and happiness.

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.
