“Lizeth did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She checked in daily, kept the areas clean and tidy, and followed our instructions beautifully. I highly recommend her for your future pet care needs.”
“Jo (Ninfa) went above and beyond taking care of our pup! She kept us updated daily with her drop-ins and sent pictures of our dog. Even taking care of several snags we had at the home! We will definitely call on her again. Thank you, Jo! You’re awesome!”
“Brittney is the BEST! She is reliable, communicates extremely well, and always takes the very best photos of my pup. Couldn’t recommend her more!!”
“Sara did an amazing job of taking care of our cats. She took the time to understand what special instructions we had. She spent the time to ensure that both cats were doing well and had what they needed. Our shy cat even came out while she was there.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals including dogs cats rabbits for friends throughout my military career. From kittens and puppies to senior animals. I’ve helped break bad habits such as jumping and potty accidents in the house. I’m currently a stay at home mom so I can take care of your fur baby anytime of the week. I’ll show them the love and care the fur babies babies deserve. I have a big fenced in backyard with dogs that can play or not with yours. I also have two cats that do their own things. I can crate as well if wanted.
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time caring for them. I’m patient, attentive, and responsible, and I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level. I have professional experience caring for horses, which taught me that taking care of an animal is about much more than simply providing food and water. I’ve been trusted with the responsibility of maintaining animals’ routines, paying close attention to their behavior and needs, and making sure they are safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I also understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets and your home. I’ll treat both with care and respect, communicate with you throughout the stay, and make sure you feel comfortable knowing your pets are in good hands. Personally, I have owned a German Shepherd taught me just how important mental stimulation, exercise, play, and having a structured routine can be for an energetic dog. My Shih Tzu mix, on the other hand, gave me experience caring for a smaller dog with very different needs and personality. I am currently a college student with all morning classes, so my afternoons would be fully dedicated to caring for your pet. Weekends are also mostly spent at home, which provides plenty of opportunity to go out to parks if you wish so and play with your furry friend. I do currently live in a small studio apartment with no other pets. But I can compensate for it by taking your pet out on plenty of walks and mental enrichment
“Ericka was a great pet sitter. I really appreciated the detailed notes of each drop in and how communicative she was. Will definitely book with her again.”
“Meeting with Bailey and Minnie Pearl went off without a hitch. She was so excited to meet Bailey and to share her favorite toys. As for me, it was instant trust, and I couldn’t be happier with Bailey. They played together and even took a brief walk while still learning the leash. Bailey was sweet and caring and has a positive energy and enthusiasm. I highly recommend her for your pet!”
“Absolutely wonderful. I was worried because my dog is elderly and takes multiple medication but Jessica welcomed all of my request. They declined my offers to short-cuts and exceeded my walking expectations. The cherry on top is my dog looked healthier than every when I came back.”
“Anne was very responsive and thorough during her drop in visits. This was our first time not having a family or friend check in on our pet for us, and Anne did a great job making sure we knew he was nice and taken care of. 10/10 amazing”
“Melisa was prompt and communicative, responded quickly to a last minute booking request that came up for unexpectedly - overall a great experience. I would book again when the opportunity arises.”
About: I have owned animals most of my life. I had my first horse when I was 10 and my first dog when I was 12. Since then I have always had 1 and up to 4 pets at a time. I have had both dogs and cats, and still do. I have raised several puppies, but now I only adopt older dogs. When I travel, I always prefer for someone to come to my house where my pets feel the most comfortable and safe. Therefor my services are to stay with your pet/pets at their home. I am semi retired and need to stay active and engaged. I strive to schedule everyone's needs, but will not over promise and under deliver. Currently I am open 7 days a week for walking, sitting or play dates. I currently have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I live in a condominium with a small yard for the dogs to enjoy. Nevertheless, they still need more activity and stimulation so they still get daily walks. Olive the cat, comes and goes as she pleases, but is well fed and knows her love is here. All of my animals come from a rescue organization or the Animal Defense League. They are well loved, fed 2x a day, sleep on furniture and my bed with me, and of course taken on walks daily. I also, have a groomer that comes to the casa to bath and manicure them as they feel most secure with her than going to a grooming location. All of my pets are female, and have regular visits to the vet for the necessities.
About: I love animals, have two kitties of my own, and grew up with dogs, rabbits, and birds. I’m a full time college student able to care for your pets when you’re away. I understand the importance of having someone reliable and trustworthy to care for your pets as much as you do. Rest assured that your furry friend is safe, comfortable, and happily awaiting your return :) I am a full time student so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet's needs. I am only unavailable from 4-6 and some weekends. I ensure a clean environment keeping anything harmful away from your fur babies. Double checking that cleaning supplies/other harmful substances are stored away and out of reach.
About: My flexible schedule ensures dedicated care in your home! With 10 years of sitting experience and a lifetime as a proud dog mom, I treat your pup like family. As a work from home professional with a flexible schedule, I integrate pet care seamlessly, giving your dog frequent potty breaks, loving attention, and daily walks. I strictly stick to their familiar routine, providing attentive in-home care, timely drop-ins, engaging walks, and endless affection to keep your dog comfortable and happy.
“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”

Ericka helped check after my babies last minute and was such a life saver while I was out of town! One of my dogs has slight anxiety and she took time to play with them which helps him a lot. So grateful for her and he help, will defiantly request her again! 🫶🏼
As always, Denigh went above and beyond in caring for our spoiled cats. She maintained great communication before, during, and after the booking to make sure everything went alright and that our cats needed for nothing. She is always so willing to adapt to each cat’s needs and make them as comfortable as possible. She also takes incredible pics of your pet that make traveling without them a little easier. Don’t hesitate to book with Denigh!
We had a wonderful experience with Katie! She took such great care of Ivy and Floki and kept us updated throughout each visit, which meant so much to us. It’s never easy leaving your pets behind, but Katie made us feel completely at ease. We came home to two happy pups and couldn’t be more grateful. We would absolutely recommend her and look forward to booking with her again in the future! 🤍🐾

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 .

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.
