“Kira did an amazing job with our extremely active golden doodle. She came over twice a day and not only fed him and cared for him, but also played with him and loved him. She sent pictures all week and I could really tell that our dog Ace felt comfortable around her.”
“Abigail did a great job taking care of Chewy, Allie, and Blue! She was dependable, took great care of all three of them, and gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and I really appreciate the care and attention she gave them. I would definitely recommend Abigail and would be happy to have her take care of them again!”
About: My earliest memories all include my furry sibling, a gigantic Doberman Pinscher named Wolf. In the four decades since my first faithful canine companion taught me unconditional love and the gentle responsibility of learning to read unspoken needs, my journey as a caregiver has been shaped by many interspecies instructors. Each experience has refined my natural intuition, molding me into a deeply responsible, proactive, and trustworthy in-home pet sitter. I understand that your pets are family, and I specialize in reading animal body language, maintaining exact routines, and providing the attentive, steady presence your pets need to feel safe while you are away. When you choose me, you can expect care beyond the minimum basics of keeping your pets safe and comforted in their familiar environment, adhering to feeding schedules, portion control, and exercise or play routines. You can rest assured I will make every effort to keep your pet happy and your home immaculate, following your established rules and routines. I will provide patient, gentle, and reliable delivery of medications, and safely transport your pets to playdates, grooming or training appointments as required. Additionally, I will maintain attentive home care tasks such as daily vacuuming, bringing in mail, watering plants, or cycling lights.Your peace of mind and satisfaction are my utmost priorities. As a pet parent and proud homeowner, I know trusting that your pet's comfort and your home's security will be maintained isn't always easy, so I like to keep you assured all is well by sharing text and photo updates as frequently as you request. I am semi retired from the film industry doing occasional freelance work or short term contract jobs. When I accept a pet care booking it is my top priority and I will only take concurrent bookings that maintain our agreed upon routine. Because I know how important consistency and routines are to happy, well-adjusted pets I focus exclusively on care within your home, centering my approach on maintaining routine. I make every effort to follow instructions for your pet and home to the letter.
“Maya is wonderful. Very professional and attentive. She was punctual for every visit and cared for my boys very well. Will request her for all future needs if she is available. I recommend you do as well.”
About: I currently have two spoiled well taken care of girls. They keep me going, I will give your dog the attention that I give my own. I am open to any schedule. I am able to adjust to meet your pet's and your needs. My schedule is very flexible as an Ideal caregiver should be. I can offer daily check in on your pet at your home. I also have the space for outdoor pets at my home. I also have space for indoor pets and they can have their own room if needed.
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 20 years old. Cousins, Neighbors, and family friends have all trusted me with taking care of their babies! With senior dogs, I tend to take my time with them as some may have mobility issues or cannot move around as much as a younger dog can. Nonetheless, all fur babies will be taken care of equally! I'm currently working part time, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your fur baby/babies! I am off Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday! My schedule will work around them no matter what! While dogs aren't allowed at my house due to my mother being afraid of dogs, I believe that the babies will be comfortable in their already known space. Your fur baby will have the time of their lives safely and happily while I am watching over them!
“Nicole makes leaving our two dogs a breeze. We used to board them at a kennel but love the peace of mind we have now knowing that Nicole will take amazing care of them. She’s proactive and treats the pups like they’re her own.”
About: I stay over night with pets, I have done month long stays, walking dogs, 5+ years experience, and am very flexible with care and specific needs I’m working part time and in school, but I am still able to take care of pets and spend the needed amount of time with them! I spend lots of time at others houses, stay the night, and follow the schedule given to me! I will walk/play and do whatever is needed for my clients
“I kept using Merit due to affordability and easy to work. She is punctual and easy to communicate. This time I missed her message about arrival time and she had to wait nearly 30 minutes because of my mistake. Instead of going back she called me and make sure she got in to feed my babies. She is the best and I use her service regularly without any hesitation. Thank you, Merit 😊”
“King and Mika had a good day on the drip in visits. He made a new friend. I got regular updates. And everything went smoothly! He’s looking forward to their next play date.”
About: 10+ Years of Passionate Pet Care Animals are my passion, and spending time with them is where I’m happiest! Over the last 10 years, I’ve cared for pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages. Pets I Have Experience With: -Dogs: All ages—from 8-week-old puppies to sweet seniors! -Cats: Playtime, snuggles, and everyday care. -Other Companions: Guinea pigs, fish, chickens, and lizards. I pride myself on giving every animal endless love, personalized attention, and a little extra spoiling so they stay happy and stress-free! I work from home and have a lot of flexibility in my schedule because of that. I can go to the clients house to check on animals as much as they need me to, or if they are staying at my home, they will be able to be supervised while they go throughout their day playing, napping, etc. I have a fenced in home and I have 1 dog who is very dog friendly. She is spayed and up to date on all her vaccines. In my clients home, I respect any boundaries or rules given. Wherever the client would like me to care for the animals is what I will do. I will treat them as if they are my own animals and make sure they are perfectly comfortable, as well as making sure they always get a good play session in.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. Which has lead me into the field of being a veterinarian technician. Which I have been doing going on 6 years now. Now looking for another aspect of the vet field of helping your fur baby or babies. I do work full time but have Friday-sunday off as my regular schedule.

I worked towards a career that focuses on caring for wildlife and animals as a whole. My experience includes volunteering at shelters and humane societies, where I walked, socialized, and bathed dogs, as well as cared for puppies and their mothers. I A unique part of my background includes working as a “goat whisperer” at a goat yoga farm, giving me experience with a variety of animals. So not only can I wrap your pup in loving energy, but I can take care of your Kid too! As a recent college graduate, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends, which allows me to be fully available for your pet’s needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adapt to whatever routine works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my household, I care for an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, which has given me experience with high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs. I tailor each pet’s care to their specific needs, ensuring their time spent is worthwhile.

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.
