“Rachel was great. She kept us well-informed with both photos & messages, and we came home to a happy, healthy, and thoroughly spoiled kitty. Will absolutely use her again.”
“Clara was wonderful! I met her beforehand to show the feeding for my cat (diff wet foods mixed together). It was a lot more work than just a single can and she was great about it! I told her she can just put the dirty dishes and empty cans in the sink. But she went out of her way to wash the dishes and dispose of the cans. I also have a weird litter system (pine pellets so it doesn’t clump) but she was great about cleaning it out and disposing of it properly. My cat was a rescue that gets really scared and lonely. But he did warm up to her and was so affectionate! It made me feel so relieved that he was well taken care of. He has separation anxiety and she made me feel at ease. Really appreciate everything she did!!”
“He is the bestest cat sitter ever! My cat absolutely adores him. Goes above and beyond. Had an issue with the litter robot and he came over on an unscheduled day to help resolve it! Would recommend to anyone!”
“I have a very annoying dog that has made using any services super scary to me. Nevaeh listened to the whole situation, came over for a meet and greet ahead of time, was extremely understanding and sweet. She was on time and she stayed with them a little extra to get to know them too. She even washed their food bowls which I didn’t even ask her to do. 10/10 recommend! I will be a repeat customer!”
“Audrey was amazing in every way! I didn’t worry about my pups not once. She played with them and hung out with them, that means so much to me. We will most definitely be using Audrey again.”
“Shirel is super dependable and great with my boys! She communicates any changes and is great at following up with anything needed! I receive daily reports and photos of my boys and that eases my mind knowing they were taken care of. Highly recommend her :)”
“Amanda does a wonderful job of taking care of my pups. I have used her drop-in visits so far. She went above and beyond and cleaned up a mess in the crate when she came for a walk. I trust her completely and highly recommend!”
“Michelle was excellent with our 3 goldens. She took very good care of them. She was reliable and on time. Sent pictures and made the whole process very easy. Thank you”
“Jin was great with our two dogs! She carried our elderly dog outside because of our two steps and she gave both of them their enrichment activities mid day to work their brains. She spent time cuddling with them too. ❤️❤️ one of our dogs is sensitive to new people and she is patient and slow with him and he loves her!”
“Sophia was such a pleasure to work with! She was thorough, detailed, communicative but most importantly, so loving with my three cats. I wholeheartedly trust Sophia to take care of our fur babies in the future! Thank you for everything, Sophia!”
“Mya was great! Will be having her back for whenever we need our kitties watched. All the cats loved her and she left a cute note and stickers of the cats :). She was amazing and I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Cindy was great with my dog Snow. She took lots of pictures and kept sent me updates through her time watching her. Thank you so much for taking such good care of my baby.”
“She was awesome and was able to help with last minute timing. She was in constant communication and sending me pictures and updates. Really sweet and responds back quickly! I had a few requests of stuff to do to leave my dog comfy and she was able to assist. She was great definitely re-booking. Thank you Dayanne!”
About: I’ve had pets for years and have grown up with animals. Ever since I was born I was joined by a grumpy maincoon and once I turned 8 I got a siberian husky. Now, years later, I have taken care of many babies, both mine and belonging to others. Along with this I also have experience working at a veterinary clinic so I know how to deal with stressed animals who simply need patience. I am available to walk your babies or come by and feed them while you are on a much needed vacation on any day that’s not Wednesday after 2 pm. I have experience taking care of cats, dogs, birds, rats, and many more I understand that animals all have different personalities and often times need an abundance of patience. I know each pet routine varies depending on their breed, needs, likes, and dislikes. I have worked with animals with medical issues so I am experienced in administering shots, giving pills, or any other medications that may be necessary for the safety and comfort of your fur baby.
“Kayla went above and beyond to care for my Chloe while I was away. She asked for specifics on what the visit should entail, and made sure to deliver on that to a T. Her detailed recaps of their time together was so nice, and she is also a great photographer! She’s punctual, dependable, and so caring. It allowed me great peace of mind to know my baby was well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Kayla for next time. Thank you!”
About: Reliable and outgoing, I love animals of all sizes and shapes. From volunteering at shelters, to helping friends walk their dogs or caring for cats. I currently have a full time job, although I am available during the week days after 6pm and all weekend to play and care for your loved pets! I follow instructions very well and am detailed oriented. I like to send picture updates for extended care, or even after a one time daily walk! I’d like to make the most comfortable, easy and fun experience for owners and their pets.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, and everyone in my family has a dog as well. I have experience caring for my own pets which has included walks, play time, and administering oral medication! As well as helping take care of friends’ and family members’ dogs, this has spanned for the last 10 years. I currently help my roommate care for her dog, including walks, feeding, and keeping her company. I’m comfortable with dogs of different sizes and personalities and enjoy spending time with them! I’m currently a part-time student at UCF which gives me plenty of time for fun and caring for your dogs! I am available Monday-Friday 9:00am-8:00pm! I am also available to board your dogs or hang out with them during the day. We currently have a 2 year old doodle, Lilo, who loves other dogs. We have a dog park in the neighborhood and are located by UCF which offers trails for walking. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Whether we’re out on a walk or spending time at home, I stay attentive to their surroundings and needs while following the owner’s instructions and routines.
“Very caring and communicative. She sent a couple of videos checking up on my dog which made me so glad to see how he’s doing my while I’m away 🥰🥰 def would reach out again”

Rachel was great, she went above and beyond to make sure our cats were taken care of. She followed all of our instructions and suggestions perfectly, and even helped with other things like bringing in mail and packages. We got photo updates every day, and the cats loved her. We will absolutely be booking with her again.
Seriously the best sitter ever!! This is our first time leaving our kitty with a sitter we were so nervous. Yicheng was super amazing understanding and kind to our baby. Our kitty loves playing with him so much. We really recommend him as a sitter and we will be using him in the future.
Jin was great with our two dogs! She carried our elderly dog outside because of our two steps and she gave both of them their enrichment activities mid day to work their brains. She spent time cuddling with them too. ❤️❤️ one of our dogs is sensitive to new people and she is patient and slow with him and he loves her!

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.

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.
