“Sam did a great job with our babies. She is very prompt, dependable, and communicated very well, including pictures, to update us while we were out of town. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for care for their precious pets 😁.”
“We have three large dogs so it can be quite difficult to find a good dog sitter. She was great everyone got their potty breaks and play time, she was friendly and easy to communicate with. Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and know how important it is to feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I’m patient, dependable, and enjoy getting to know each pet and their individual personality. Whether they love walks and playtime, lots of cuddles, or just having someone nearby, I’m happy to give them the attention they need. I’ll follow their normal routine and care for them just as I would want someone to care for my own. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time for walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention throughout the day. I enjoy having animals around and love making them part of my everyday routine. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. I’ll follow their usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and any special instructions you provide. I’m happy to give lots of attention and affection, but I also understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. I’ll treat them with patience, kindness, and plenty of love.

“Kristy was amazing! My cat is shy, but Kristy knew exactly what to do to care for her. Kristy is trustworthy, reliable, and is an excellent communicator, giving me text updates at each visit. She was easy to reach. She also watered our flowers, got our mail, and looked after our house, as well as my sweet kitty. Would 100% recommend!”

“Gracie did, an outstanding job caring for Scout and providing me with information on her visit. Scout was a very happy girl when I got home and it appeared she was looking for Gracie to come in, also. I would not hesitate to have Gracie sit for Scout again.”

I am always available by text for any concerns you have and will make sure to keep the owner very update on the daily life of their pets.

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 .

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.
