“Brianna went above and beyond taking amazing care of our kitties. She was a very last minute booking and was not only understanding but extremely supportive in accommodating all our pets needs. We swear we came home to a cleaner house than we left it to! I would recommend Brianna to anyone needing a caretaker for their pet and will definitely rebook in the future 🫶”
“Ella was fantastic!! Loved getting to see a pic of our girls every day, quick to respond, and she was always on time ❤️ would have her watch our girls again in a heartbeat!”
“Natalie was great with the cats and taking care of them while we were gone. There’s not too many people outside of family we trust taking care of our pets. Natalie made sure to administer Harley’s medicine as needed and took time to interact with them. Would highly recommend Natalie to anyone and would use her in the future”
“Paige is a very kind and compassionate sitter, we had her taking care of our cat for a week and she was always super communicative and helpful! We will definitely hire her again!”
“My cats loved Tristan! My male cat is usually very shy and a bit nervous, but with Tristan he was always around, comfortable, and very affectionate. I really enjoyed every update he sent during each visit, it made my trip much more enjoyable, knowing that they were in good hands.”
About: Hi there, I’m Angelina! I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for pets both at home and through my past work at a pet store, and I now work as an Animal Care Technician professionally. I’m used to working with many animals at once and take pride in my ability to recognize changes in behavior or injuries. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, their quirks, and how they respond best to care. I can administer medications/topicals, handle puppies, kittens, seniors, or anxious pets, follow any specific care needs or funny rituals your pet may be used to, and am quick to react in case of an emergency. I’ve handled all sorts of pets (small animals, birds, dogs, and cats) as well, so if you have any other animals that you’d like watched as well, I’m your girl! More specifically, I’ve worked with high energy, demanding dog breeds like Border Collies and Blue Heelers, to guarding breeds like Rottweilers, Akitas, and Cane Corsos, and more docile breeds like Newfoundlands, Basset Hounds, and Great Danes just to name a few! I’m big on communication, so you will always get updates on how your pet is doing and cute photos to go along with them. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your babies! I work full-time from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM, so I’m available any time after 4! I’m always open to stopping by after work and overnight if needed. I’ll make sure your pet maintains their normal routine and feels as comfortable as possible, almost as though you never left! If staying overnight, your home will be well-taken care of as well. I don’t mind doing a meet-and-greet so I can get idea of what to expect from both you and your pet.
“Jess is great and so kind! She was available last minute and quickly set up a meet and greet with my girls Layla and Phoebe. They instantly took to her, thanks to the treats she brought them! Jess took great care of the dogs while I was away and sent me pics of them bonding. I certainly recommend her as a pet sitter and I will be using her in the future!!”
“Makinzie was amazing!! She was able to help us last minute which was extremely helpful. She sent lots of photos and her communication was great. She even went out of her way to clean up after our dogs and bring a package in for us. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Can't thank Elizabeth enough! We needed a drop in visit last minute. Elizabeth responded quickly and came over for a meet and greet within an hour. Elizabeth quickly bonded with Luna our 1 year old pitbull mix. We received updates and pictures during her visit. We will definitely be using Elizabeth in the future.”
“Kristin was wonderful to work with. She took care of my 2 dogs and birds for a week. She visited 3 times a day and gave me a summary of the visit and photos of my puppies. She went above and beyond when my senior dog had some tummy issues, she took great care of him and did everything I would have done. By the end of the week, the dogs became very fond of her. My house was tidy and she brought in packages and mail. I would not hesitate having her back as my regular pet sitter. She is very responsive to texts and emails.”
“Molly is a such an amazing person! She loves our fur baby as much as we do and I couldn't be happier or feel more comfortable knowing he's in her great caring hands!”

About: I used to foster dogs & now i just volunteer to walk them at Main Line Animal Rescue. I have my own 6 month old dog that loves to play. I have taken care & pet sat for as long as I can remember. I currently have a flexible 9-5 job that I work from home 90% of the week. I am off on the weekends & enjoy walking, taking dogs to parks, playing & snuggling! I have experience with all breeds & sizes. I have a friendly male dog that enjoys playing with all dogs & is very social. He is extremely spoiled. We go on walks daily, do daily enrichment along with constant playing.
About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Abbey Downs
Daphne was absolutely wonderful with our cat! She was so kind, attentive, and reliable, and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. She clearly cares about animals and went above and beyond to make sure Barfi was happy and well taken care of. We came home to a very happy kitty! We would absolutely recommend Daphne and will definitely be booking her again!
Pam watched our dog during the holidays with a last minute booking. She was accommodating of our schedule and requests. She spoiled our dog like she was her own, and our dog just loved the time spent with her. We will be using her again in the future. Pam was a pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend her to others!

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.
