“Amy was AMAZING! Our puppies LOVED her, and she was so friendly and loving with them. She was very punctual and took care of them perfectly! Would definitely recommend her!”
“Teresa was great! She took excellent care of our dog Kira and sent us a bunch of updates and pictures. We have very shy cats, one of our cats came out of hiding and let her pet them. We would love to book with her again! <3”
About: My name is Heather and I have volunteered at animal shelters for the past couple of years and I am looking to find more ways to give back to some fun and cute dogs! I would be honored to walk or sit your pet and I would treat them as if they were my own. I believe that dogs are special and should be highly cared for. I would like to thank you in advance for trusting me with your pet and I look forward to meeting you and your dog very soon. Now, let’s go on a fun walk and enjoy the day! I have availability to care for your pets in the mornings in evenings. Perfect schedule to drop-in after you leave for work and when you return home. I provide a safe, comfortable and loving environment for pets. I have my own home with a fenced in backyard and walking trails in the area.
“This was our first time using Rover and we had a terrific experience! Chelsea took great care of our fur babies. She was timely, caring and communicative. We’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Cristal took great care of our two cats while we were away. She’s consistent and compassionate, and we particularly liked the level of detail she included in the check-in cards. She clearly has a lot of experience with and love for animals!”
“Anna was great- so communicative and took great care of June with drop in visits at our home. It was so helpful to have someone who was proactive with communication, letting me know exactly how each visit went so I didn’t have to ask or worry! We will definitely use her again.”
“Thank you beyond words, Step & Bradley are beyond amazing. I needed a last minute drop in ( with in 5 hours request sent at 5:30am) Step and Bradley responded quickly and saved the day. Book them dependable and flexible and my fur babies love them from the 1st meeting.”
“Sage is a great pet sitter! Our two cats took to her quickly during the meeting, and she provided great updates each visit. Sage was also very communicative while cat sitting during a bad thunderstorm, helping make sure the babies were okay if power went out. Our home and cat areas were clean and well-kept when we returned. Thank you, Sage!!”
“Gabrielle cared for our 14 year old, diabetic cat for 2 weeks while we were away on a cruise. My husband and I feel so fortunate to have found Gabrielle…she is amazing! The first thing we noticed is how professional and detail oriented she is. I immediately felt like I was placing the care of my “fur baby” in very capable hands. Gabrielle was able to administer necessary medication and kept our baby happy and healthy while we were away. Gabrielle exceeded our expectations and alleviated our anxieties about having to leave our pet behind while we travel….we will be requesting her services for a long time to come. Thank you so much Gabrielle!!!”
“Nadezhda was an absolute angel! She has watched my little Sebastian a few times and everytime she has been so amazing. Great communication- always sends pics of my sweet boy and his food. She even went by my apt to check and see if my wet food had been delivered and unboxed and put in my fridge! She is so easy to work with and so kind. I would recommend her 10/10 to anyone!”
About: I’ve taken care of a dog ever since I’ve got my first one when I was eight, and now that I’m older and living on my own I have my own dog who is almost 3, who still acts just like a puppy. Since joining Rover, I have taken care of a variety of different dogs of all breeds, and sizes with all kinds of different needs. I'm currently doing Rover full time so I can be with your fur baby just about all the time! The only catch is I'm pregnant (due March 13th,2027) so I will be gone periodically, to doctor's appointments. For stays longer than 2 nights (depending on how close your home is to mine), I will need to go home every other night to get proper rest, but your baby will still be well taken care of!! No matter what neighborhood you may live in, I promise your pets will always be safe with me, I am very observant and watchful of pets and I always do my best to make sure that they are very well taken care of as if they are my own.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs big and small since I was 10 years old. Family, friends, and neighbors have relied on me to fed, walk, and keep their pets company. I’m currently working full time from home, so if I’m in your area I’ll be able to get to your pet quickly. I’m available for walks weekdays after 3pm and weekends from 8am-3pm I have a fenced yard so my own dog and yours can play freely and safely. While my dog has a crate we do not force her to go in for bed time or breaks, however I will abide by your rules with your pets.
“I'm so glad I found Mary Lindsay! She was sir e responsive and left great feedback every time she did her check ins. I felt so comfortable leaving my animals in her care ?”
“First time with Casilya. Meet and greet went well and I immediately felt the compassion she has for animals. She took care of my senior blind dog so well. Love her attentiveness. She is excellent!”
About: A lifelong cat lover, I got my pet-sitting start with greyhounds — basically giant cats that can hit 40 mph and then lounge for 20 hours straight. If there's a dog bed, a couch, or a sunny patch of floor, these couch potatoes will find it! I love working with all breeds and sizes, from small dogs to big mixed breeds. It's through greyhounds that I first learned every pet has its own personality; even within one breed, and I pay attention to what each one actually needs. Walks or sprints (within fences of course), cozy downtime, and feeding and dietary needs — raw diets, allergies, or just keeping mealtime on schedule — are all part of care. I always keep a close eye on leash handling. Sighthounds especially can sometimes get distracted by everything from a rustling leaf to a squirrel three yards away. Since every dog pulls, weaves, or settles differently, I read each one and adapt. When I'm not on pet duty, I'm an artist and researcher. I grew up in this area and recently moved back after 25 years in New York City. I'm still getting reacquainted with the area, and always up for local recommendations! I generally work from home on my laptop computer, with occasional trips to my studio. Making your pet a priority and arranging my schedule around theirs is not a problem. I make sure all house rules stay intact! From feeding time to bathroom breaks. My flexible schedule allows me to put your pets needs first!
About: I’m a caring and responsible dog lover who will treat your pets with patience, attention, and lots of love! I understand that every dog has a different personality and routine, and I’ll make sure they feel safe and comfortable while in my care. Whether it’s going on walks, playing, or simply keeping them company, I’ll give your pup the attention they deserve Friday-Sunday I am very flexible with the times. On Tuesdays I am flexible after 2 pm. Wednesdays I will be available after 12 pm! And Mondays I am free mornings and nights. I have two fury dogs to keep your dog some company, I have a backyard for them to enjoy. I still walk my own dogs twice a day so they get some energy out regardless.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have always been an animal lover. I have 2 dogs myself.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Allen
We were in a bind and so grateful Kim stepped in at the last minute for Barry and Drake! She is a wonderful communicator—she let us know about a schedule delay right away and even offered to grab more of the dogs' favorite treats. Plus, seeing the photos she sent daily kept me so calm while I was away. It is rare to find someone so thoughtful, reliable, and reassuring. Thank you, Kim!
Claire was wonderful with our cat! We booked her last minute and she was more than accommodating and connected with our cat right away. She was communicative about when she would come by our house and handled everything perfectly. She also got some great pictures. We are so grateful to have found her!

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.
