“Sara was great with our dogs and we felt very comfortable having her watch them. We loved receiving photos of the dogs and knowing they were safe and happy! We would definitely recommend her and will use her again!”
“Karen was a lifesaver on a recent last minute spring vacation. I even messed up one full day when booking, and she was incredibly understanding and helpful. I’m new to Rover and have a pack of four dogs (a Yorkie Poo, English Retreiver, Chesapeake Bay Retriever, and a Pitt). Karen came by, met my babies, and agreed to take care of them. She is absolutely lovely. She updated me every time she stopped by and made sure I knew the dogs were doing well. She was always on time and even picked up after them when needed (kid lost a stuffy) Thank you Karen, for keeping my babies safe and well cared for.”
About: I have spent my entire life surrounded by animals and have developed deep, hands-on experience with specialized pet care. I am incredibly comfortable administering medications and managing complex health routines. My background includes bottle-feeding newborn kittens, managing delicate medical schedules, and providing the strict, attentive care required for rescue dogs undergoing intense heartworm treatments. Our large, two-story home and fully fenced backyard offer a highly secure, adaptable space for your pets. Whether your dog or cat needs a lively vacation or meticulous medical supervision, they will be safe, comfortable, and expertly cared for here. As a stay at home mom, I am full time at home and dedicated to our daily household and animal routines. Because I am here throughout the day, your pet will receive constant supervision, regular bathroom breaks, and plenty of attention. Pet care doesn't just fit into my schedul, it is a seamless part of my everyday life at home. Safety and structure are my top priorities. In our home, we maintain a highly secure environment featuring a large, fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor time. We keep a well-managed household where guest pets are integrated smoothly alongside our own crate-trained dogs. Whether your pet requires strict crate time, routine medical or medication management, or just a calm, supervised space to relax, I ensure their specific safety and emotional needs are met 24/7.
“Mary is the absolute best cat sitter, this is our third time booking with her and we will continue to do so in the future. She takes such good care of our two kitties and I can tell that our cats adore her. Thanks again Mary you’re the best!”
About: I’ve always had dogs in my life and helped friends and family take care of their pets. I house-sat throughout college. And growing up, neighbors would frequently trust me to take care of their pets while on vacation. I’ve looked after a variety of dogs, large dogs (Rottweiler and Goldens) and small (Yorkies and other terriers). I love them all. I’ve personally owned 2 boxers (one of which I rescued) and grew up with Dachshunds and a Scottish terrier. My husband has owned miniature Schnauzers. We are very knowledgeable in a variety of breeds. I work part-time during the week so there may be times where your pet will have to be alone for at least 8 hrs. We are both very active and outdoor lovers, so your pet won’t be cooped up inside all day, unless that is your preference. We have a fenced yard with security cameras. We pride ourselves on organization and paying attention to detail, so your baby will be prioritized and well taken of.
“I reached out to Stephanie in a pinch and she was extremely prompted in her reply. She was able to accommodate my last minute request… and I do mean last minute. I reached out to her to do a drop in within the hour, due to a scheduling conflict and she showed up AND sent photos to ease my mind. Communication with her was great and I will definitely be using her again in the future. Thank you!!!”
“Madison was absolutely amazing with our 11 year old pitbull! She truly went above and beyond to spend quality time with her and provided us with daily updates and pictures. I cant say enough great things about her service!”
“Trevor did an amazing job in taking care of my pup, making sure she had plenty of clean water and food everyday while we were away. He made sure to lock up every time he left ensuring our pup was secure in the yard. He also was kind enough to bring in our packages while away. We will definitely be using his services in the future. Thank you Trevor !”
“She was so great with my dog and I scheduled her very last minute and she was able to work me in! I appreciate her greatly and she took great care of my dog and my home! Thank you again!!!”
“The circumstances surrounding our need for a pet sitter were less than desirable: just moved to the area, unexpected 10 day trip, house still full of boxes. I usually board my dog but she is not a dog that benefits from traditional boarding confinement and daycare. She always has to be alone as she is not comfortable with other dogs in the play yards, so I decided to give Rover a try. Am I glad I did! Since the first time we met, Victoria was amazing and put me immediately at ease. I contacted several sitters and she was by far the most professional. She was quick to get the ball rolling and lead me through the steps of a rover sitting (which I needed!). I was so relieved to leave my dog in such good hands. She is clearly an animal lover and enjoys doing this. I could tell from all the photos she sent me on a daily basis and her general enthusiasm. Victoria even took home an bird that my dog injured. She provided Roxy with the most attentive care and went above and beyond her contractual duties to deliver a trustworthy and personable service to our dog and to us. I greatly appreciated her willingness to look beyond the dog and offer help wherever it was needed. We came home to a very happy dog that was relaxed and did not get sick frim exhaustion or stress. I am so thankful we found her.”
“Whitney did a wonderful job caring for Cher, my 17-year-old cat, while I was out of town. My cat is very shy and nervous around people she does not know, but Cher felt comfortable enough around Whitney to let her pet her and play with her. That was a big win! I will definitely be calling on Whitney in the future!”
“I can't recommend Morgan enough! She took amazing care of my 2 dogs while I was away and followed every instruction perfectly. She made sure they got plenty of attention and even played fetch with my golden during every visit, which she absolutely loved. After it rained and the dogs tracked mud through the house, she even went above and beyond by mopping my floors without being asked. It's clear she truly cares about the pets she watches, and takes pride in doing a good job. I felt completely at ease 200 miles away knowing they were in such great hands, and I'll absolutely be booking with her again!”
About: I am an experienced animal lover with a lifetime of caring for dogs, cats, and farm animals. I have raised two puppies and owned dogs most of my life. I also used to live on a hobby farm where I fed and cared for chickens, turkeys, goats, cows and horses. Living on a hobby farm taught me a deep respect for animal behavior, routines, and safety. I bring that same level of vigilance and care to every dog that I watch. Over the years, I have provided daily care for my dogs in my household,, including feeding, walking, administered routine care, provided companionship, and keeping them safe and comfortable. I also provided care for my pet Amazon parrot, because I understand that birds have daily routines, needs and personality. ~ I’m patient, attentive, and committed to keeping pets happy and comfortable while their owners are away. Your dogs are family, and I will treat them like family. ☺️❤️☺️❤️ I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for pets. I'm available for walks and drop-ins. I enjoy making pets part of my daily routine. I provide a comfortable and loving environment where pets can feel at home. I follow their normal routines, give them plenty of attention and exercise, and make sure they receive individulaized care.
“As always Alyssa is wonderful. Our cat trusts her and she knows our cat well. Thank you for calming our anxiety when we go on vacation or leave town.”
About: Hi, I’m Isabella! I have over 4 years of professional pet sitting experience and genuinely love caring for animals of all kinds. Pet sitting gives me the opportunity to step away from the fast pace of my day job and spend time doing something that brings me so much joy—caring for pets and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their families are away. I’m currently the proud owner of a rescue Chihuahua named Stitch, a Velveteen rabbit, and a parakeet. Caring for multiple species has given me hands-on experience with dogs, small mammals, and birds, allowing me to confidently meet a variety of pets’ unique needs. Stitch has shown me just how healing and comforting our pets can be after a long day, and my goal is to give every pet owner that same peace of mind by providing dependable, compassionate care. For your confidence and your pet’s safety, I am certified in Pet First Aid and CPR. I’m also committed to continuing my education through PetSit Pro training, including: * Cat & Dog Poop 101 * Cat Body Language * Dog Body Language * Aggressive Cats and How to Handle Them * Safe Pet Sitting in Hot Weather * Enrichment for Small Mammals * Indoor Activities for Dogs * Bird-Care Basics for Pet-Care Professionals * Fish-Care Basics for Pet-Care Professionals Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply sticking to their regular routine, I’ll provide personalized care tailored to their individual needs. I treat every pet as if they were my own and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry, feathered, or small animal family member is in caring hands. I am mostly an open book and am free throughout the day. Feel free to message me and ask before booking or take a look at my posted calendar. I have great experience especially with cats and dogs. I will take them on long walks or potty breaks/ feed them for you. Whatever you need :)

Katelyn is fantastic!! She has been so kind, patient, and caring with my nervous older kitty. Her notes about visits are so detailed and she consistently goes above and beyond in her care. It really puts my mind at ease to know she is taking such good care of my kitty while i’m away. I cannot recommend her enough!
Mackenzie is so amazing, and I can not say enough how happy I am that I found her! She took care of my dogs so well, dropping in at exactly the right times, taking them on walks, feeding them, and giving them the attention they needed while we were away! She also sent plenty of cute photos of my dogs and what they were doing through the weekend! Trustworthy, kind, sweet, and punctual, and I can't recommend her enough! A million thanks to Mackenzie!

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.
