“Jennifer was really great - she sat for our dog and three cats while we were out of town and was very consistent for the drop-in visits, and communicated regularly. No issues, much appreciation. 😊”
About: I had my dog, Grace, for 13 years and have watched other dogs during that time and more frequently for the past 2 years since she passed. I don't want to have another dog and Rover gives me the opportunity to spoil them and become their bestie until their parents come home. I am available for boarding, drop in visits, walking, or just going to spending time with them. My preference for boarding is in my home. I don't have a fence but have a runner in my back yard that is anchored in the ground. I always go out with the dog, so they are not alone at any time. I live in a small neighborhood with very good neighbors and have no pets of my own.
“Lisa was a pleasure to work with. She came a few days ahead to meet our three cats. She engaged with them right away. Every day she checked on them twice a day and sent me updates. When we returned after two days the cats were happy and not stressed. We would love to work with her again.”
About: My husband and I have been doing Rover for over three years now! We previously lived in NC. I’ve owned dogs/cats until old age and have been around animals my whole life. I have a 9 year old lab, and adopted a 8 year old pug through dog sitting on this app. And finally we joined the Frenchie gang as well. I love animals and would love to help with your needs. If you are in need of care and it says I am not available, just message me and I will see what I can do, my preferences on here I have set just to avoid driving certain distances (gas prices) but we could possibly work something out, don’t hesitate to reach out! Also, for safety purposes we do not take in intact males or in heat females because my boy Remi is also intact. We apologize for the inconvenience but safety for everyone comes first! I do prefer pick ups/drop offs/meet and greets for my husband to be present for safety purposes, so if I ask if times can be modified I apologize, it’s to accommodate to when he will be home! Our pups occupy their end of the house, yours can occupy the rest! Safety comes first for me so let me know your preferences. However you care for your pet in your home, if applicable I will do the same if needed. I understand dogs need routine to avoid stress. *PLEASE NOTE!!! If you have a male dog that is not neutered, he will be kept SEPARATE. In some cases or most cases we still possibly will decline the sit if it will be difficult to keep separate. I understand it is hard to find care because our male is also not neutered so I want to make it easier for people like us! So please understand that it is for both of the dog’s safety and peace.

About: What sets me apart is that I really take the time to get to know each pet and their individual personality. I know that every dog has different needs, routines, and comfort levels, so I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I’m patient, attentive, and dependable, and I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. Whether your pup is energetic and loves long walks, a little shy and needs time to warm up, or simply wants some extra attention and cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also comfortable caring for dogs of different ages and energy levels and understand that puppies and senior dogs may need a little extra patience and attention. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and keep you updated so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾💕 I have lots of availability throughout the week to care for pets and can be flexible with different schedules and routines. I’m able to make plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, and giving each pet the attention and care they need. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to make pet care a regular part of my week! 🐾💕 I take great care of my own dog at home, so I understand how important it is to make sure pets are happy, comfortable, safe, and well cared for. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I’ll give them plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, fresh water, and any meals or treats they’re supposed to have. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions you leave for your pet and will take the time to get to know their personality and needs. I’ll also make sure everything is clean and secure before I leave and keep you updated on how your pet is doing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pet and your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾💕
About: I have been around dogs since I was 3 years old. I have always had family dogs and recently lost my German Shepherd. I have pet sat for friends and family since I was in middle school. I work from home so I will be able to drop in multiple times throughout the day. I currently do not have kids so am very flexible with my time. I can stay overnight in your house with your animals and drop in multiple times a day. I have a lot of experience with strong dogs and enjoy taking dogs on adventures or just walks around the neighborhood.
About: I have 5 years of experience working in the veterinary field, so I’m comfortable providing medications and administering shots as needed. I’m also able to recognize potential medical concerns or changes in your pet’s condition and know when something may need further attention.Beyond medical care, I genuinely love spending time with animals! I enjoy playing with pets, giving them plenty of attention, and I’m happy to prepare their food according to their specific needs or routines. Most importantly, I will care for your pet or pets as if they were my own—with patience, love, and plenty of attention to their individual needs. My schedule is completely open right now. Genuinely, any time of day works for me, so feel free to pick whatever time is most convenient for you! I’m able to do any at-home visits! I do have a double-fenced-in yard and two very friendly dogs. However, if anything were to take place at my home, my dogs can easily stay completely separated from your pet. I’m happy to accommodate whatever makes you and your pet most comfortable!
“Natali was excellent with our cat during drop-in visits! I could tell how much our cat loved her and when I got home he was much less immediately needy than usual, which means she was giving him plenty of playtime when she was here. Natali was also very accommodating when I made a mistake and accidentally switched an AM vs. PM in the booking. She was generous and flexible in her availability to cover the visit I had messed up. Overall excellent care for our cat. I would absolutely work with Natali again.”
“Jennifer was an absolute Godsend!! Our baby girl Shannon was given the best care by Jennifer and her family. Shannon was treated like a queen. Couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter than Jennifer. She kept us posted daily on how Shannon was doing and sent us daily photos. Will definitely be using Jennifer exclusively for all our pet sitting needs. We definitely were highly pleased with the love and care she offered our baby girl. Thank you Jennifer for taking such good care of Shannon!!”

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.
