“Rachel is exceptional with providing detail about her visits. She is extremely knowledgeable about pet care and safety. My pup is high energy, and she does a wonderful job entertaining him and using up some of his energy! :-)”
About: I’ve helped care for pets since 2008 and have had my own sweet girl for 8 years now! I’m one of “those people” who prefer dogs to humans. Services include drop-in visits, dog walking, and house sitting at the owner’s location. I’m currently working an early shift so I’ve got plenty of extra afternoon and evening time for loving on my baby and yours too! Available most weekends as well. Willing to care for your pet in YOUR home! I will treat myself as a guest and provide the service as if they were my own. Keeping our four-legged friends comfortable and in their own environment/routine is most important to me.
“Ami was great with our 2 cats. She sent us pictures & videos so I could see how much they trusted & loved her. She played with them & would pet them which they love. The litter boxes were cleaned & they were fed on a daily basis. Highly recommend her & I will definitely reach out to her again. Thank you Ami for taking good care of our fur babies.”
“Anna is great with our animals! Our animals are like our kids so it's stressful working long shifts or going out of town but I never have to worry when we're not home. Anna always shows up on time and give the best care to our anunals. She's dependable and always willing to make it work so she can help us out. Our animals love her!”
“Emma was so responsive and reliable when I needed someone to drop in on my pup. I got lots of pictures and updates while I was away, which made the whole experience so much better. Emma put me at ease and I knew my pup was in great hands. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and caring for them isn't just my job—it's something I'm truly passionate about. With over 10 years of hands-on experience, I've had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. Whether you have a playful new puppy learning the ropes, a senior dog who needs extra patience and gentle care, or an energetic companion who loves long walks and adventures, I'm here to provide the love, attention, and care they deserve. I understand that every pet is different, and I take the time to get to know their unique routines, personalities, and needs. My experience doesn't stop with dogs. I've also cared for farm animals, including pigs, so I'm comfortable working with a variety of animals and their individual care requirements. When you trust me with your pets, you're trusting someone who will treat them like family. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pets are safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. Whether you're at work, on vacation, or simply need an extra helping hand, you can count on dependable, compassionate care every step of the way. I currently work full time as a baker so I’m usually up at the crack of dawn. However I’m available in the afternoon and evenings. I would care for your pet like they are my own. I have a fenced yard and I’m always alert of my surroundings. I know that’s it’s a being deal to trust a stranger with your fur baby so I would only want the best for them while you are gone.
“Raven has been absolutely fabulous! She looked after our kitty Sasha while we were gone and kept us updated. She’s a great communicator and lovely woman! Highly recommend and would 100% hire again.”
About: Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve owned English Bulldogs for most of my life, so I’m very familiar with the breed and all of their funny little personalities.🤣 I also have experience with smaller animals like guinea pigs and absolutely love caring for pets beyond just cats and dogs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and will always do my best to keep their normal routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. 🐾❤️ Hi, I’m Maddie! I’m a mom of two, a huge animal lover, and someone who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I work from home and run my own business, so I have a pretty flexible schedule and am usually available throughout the day and into the evening for drop-ins, walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention! I don’t currently offer overnight stays, but if you’re looking for someone who can stop by your home frequently throughout the day and evening while you’re away, I’d love to help! My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for- and that you can enjoy your time away without worrying about them. I care for your pets in their home where they feel most safe and comfortable, rather than in an unfamiliar area as I feel it makes it easier on them.
“I was trying to find the best sitter for my 2 cats while I was on vacation. After scrolling thru Rover's listing, I came across Angela and I knew she was the perfect person for the job. She sent me updates and photos each time she checked in on them so I knew they were doing well. She also interacted with me the entire time so if I had a question or concern outside of her checking on my cats, she promptly replied. She was on top of everything, making the entire experience seamless. Angela, thanks again for taking SUCH care of my cats. As soon as I book my next vacation, you'll be the first person I contact.”

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.
