“Another terrific job, Amy! I have had a lot of travel this fall and Amy has been so reliable for me. I come home to a happy boy and a neat house. I love the notes and pictures while I'm away. I know he's happy and well cared for every time I can't be here. Very glad I found Amy and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great sitter!”
“Lynda and her daughter Abigail were great! She came over a few weeks before for a meet and greet which was awesome. She followed all of my directions and my dogs had a blast. Looking forward to using them in the future.”
“Jiayao was great with my Saint Bernard and two cats. Always on time with her visits and she made connections with each of them and took extra good care of them! I definitely recommend her!”
“Heather did a great job caring for my cat. I would most definitely recommend her services for your pet. She was prompt and courteous. My cat is very shy and Heather had no problem getting the cat to warm up to her. Just an overall positive experience.”
“Emma is so friendly and a great cat sitter! She was very through in asking about their care and treated them well. My cats can be rambunctious but she did a good job at separating them for feedings and playing with them. She also sent great update photos with the rover cards throughout their care. Would highly recommend!”
“Hannah did a great job caring for our 2 cats. She followed instructions well and is super friendly. Our boys were well cared for. One of our cats has diabetes and needs insulin given subdermally via syringe, along with oral meds, and Hannah did well with administering those. Very reliable, kind sitter. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
About: A long time animal lover, I have 20 plus years of experience with dogs! I specialize in senior dogs. I can administer medication and am first aid certified! I am currently looking for long term employment, so my schedule during the week is very open. I care for my father every other Saturday. I have a fenced in yard, and a big comfy dog-friendly couch to lounge on! I have all the equipment necessary, including a crate that is sized for large dogs.
“Kim is awesome! Great availability, communication, and wonderful with our dog. This is her fourth time dog sitting for us and I will definitely book her again. Thanks Kim!”
“Stephanie was great. We had a family emergency right before we left and were a little disorganized with instructions. Stefanie managed everything beautifully and took good care of Charlie.”
About: I have had family dogs all growing up! In my senior year of college I adopted a dog of my own which allowed me to understand the importance of training, taking care of dogs, and showing them unconditional love! I currently work a part-time job that is pretty flexible, so I will be able to meet all of your pets needs this summer!! I have been an animal lover my whole life and I know how it feels to trust someone else with your fur baby, so I am able to accommodate any needs that you and your pet may have to make them feel comfortable!
“Amanda was amazing with our 2 pups. Both my dogs were so calm and took right to Amanda. Amanda sent pictures with every visit and communication was spot on. We needed someone at last minute and Amanda was very accommodating. Will definitely be using her services in the near future.”
About: Hi! I grew up with cats since I was a baby. I have experience from kitten to older cats. I also have experience with dogs. I have watched a family member’s dog when needed. I have experience with puppy to older dogs. Hi, I am currently working at a school in Dresher. I’m available during the week starting around 7pm. And, I’m available all day on the weekends! I cannot watch dogs at mine and can only go to you! I am more than happy to house sit and/or walk your pets!
“Shannon was great with our puppy Winston! She was super accommodating, easy to work with, and took Winston for a good walk. Definitely will use Shannon again and highly recommend her!!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Kelly! She was kind enough to accept our last-minute request, and from the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear that they were in great hands. Kelly took wonderful care of them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. We’ll certainly be reaching out to her again in the future!”
“I could never say enough about Delaney’s sense of responsibility, care for Bailey and Dabby, and her great pet sitting work ethic. Jen and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”
About: I’ve cared for multiple dogs, including my own senior dog that had passed. Family and friends have trusted me to board their dogs, and I’ve provided feeding, medication when needed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of care and attention to keep them happy and comfortable. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday until 4pm. If you are needing to drop off your pup on Friday before 4, my mom would be home to help until I get home. I would only be available in the evenings during the week if needed. I have a fenced backyard where they can play, and food/water bowls to help dogs feel comfortable during their stay. Whether I’m caring for dogs in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have everything they need and receive plenty of attention, care, and are comfortable with me.
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—cats at my mom’s and dogs at my dad’s—so caring for pets is second nature to me. As a kid, I became the neighborhood pet sitter, offering my services to families in need of a trusted hand. With years of hands-on experience, I offer more than just feeding and walks. Whether it’s training puppies, managing senior pets’ special needs, or providing a comforting routine for anxious animals, I bring patience, love, and expertise to every pet care situation. Now, I’m excited to get back into doing what I love—giving pets the care they deserve while you’re away! I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule and can give your pets the attention they deserve throughout the day. Whether it’s regular playtime, walks, or just some extra cuddle time, I’m always available to meet your pet’s needs. With my home-based routine, I can provide consistent care, ensuring your furry friends feel safe, loved, and well-cared for every day. I prioritize safety, trust, and comfort for every pet, whether they’re staying in my home or yours. If your pet stays with me, they’ll have access to a spacious yard and a peaceful walking trail right next door—perfect for daily walks and playtime. Inside, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where they can feel right at home. If I’m caring for your pet at your place, I make sure to follow your pet’s routine closely, respect your home, and create a safe, stress-free atmosphere. Whether at my home or yours, I treat each pet like family, providing love, attention, and careful supervision to ensure they’re always in good hands :)
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Acorn
I needed a drop in at the last minute because of a cancelled surgery in which my dog was home recovering from anesthesia. I was lucky that Amy was able to accomodate. Professional, a good listener, followed my directions, good w my dog, and gave me updates, I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. Thank you!

Si yeon was amazing. We have not been away more than 2 nights since pre-pandemic because our cats don’t do well without us, but we came home to 3 happy, well loved fur babies! We had such a great time knowing they were well loved and cared for. Needless to say, we’ll be taking more trips and booking with Si yeon again. We can’t thank her enough.
Emma was fabulous. I was away for 10 days and she did drop ins on my cat Mittens. She went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and watering my plants. She messaged me daily along with a photos. It is a relief to have met Emma and know that when I am away in future I can leave my pet without worry. You will not be disappointed if you book with Emma!

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.
