“Emily was a great sitter for our boy! We were out of town during the 4th of July and all the fireworks, as well as some strong storms. She was so reassuring that Hudson was doing well, and it was so comforting for us.”
“Taylor was prompt, friendly, and my cat liked her immediately! She did a wonderful job with pet care, ensured our cat got his medication on time and kept him happy and safe while we were away. Would happily hire her again.”
“Kailyn was awesome! She was very attentive and loving with my two cats. She sent pictures every day and was very prompt and thorough. She was easy to work with and responded quickly to every message. I will definitely be using her again. Highly recommend.”
“Abigail did a wonderful job with my pup, Maple, and my two cats! She catered to their every need. Would definitely recommend Abigail! Cannot thank her enough for covering over the 4th of July weekend!”
“I would highly recommend Alexandra for your fur baby. She had dropped in to visit my Chihuahua Jack Russell mix who's 11 years old several times nowwhile I'm at work. He's always happy and Alexandra makes sure his needs are meet at each visit.”
“Willow was fantastic, being extremely attentive and patient with my skittish kitty. She additionally kept me updated throughout the time and delt with surprises with grace (sorry again about the poop)! I'll definitely look to Willow again for future sitting.”
About: I've taken care of dogs, horses, and cattle since I was very little! I am currently in vet school learning how to take care of them even more I am currently in vet school, so my time is unfortunately limited, I would be able to walk and tend to your pet after my class hours! My plan is to be able to tend to your pet at your home! This will allow me to go and walk them around and feed/water them as needed
About: I am a freshman majoring in Pre-Vet so I am very familiar with animals especially dogs. I grew up with dogs, have a dog of my own at home, sitting, walking, training, puppies, etc. I am currently a freshman student at Auburn but my school schedule is very flexible and I have many gaps throughout my days. My busiest day this semester is Wednesday. I always treat the house like it’s my own. I am a very clean, responsible, trustworthy person who cares about how my home feels, looks, and making sure it is comfortable for everyone. I prefer pets staying in my house.
“Lily had a great first visit with Punk'n. He was a little shy but she worked with him and they became friends fast. She took him out sure for a potty break and adjusting played i week finely continue to book with Lilly.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 15 and have cared for everything from playful puppies to pets with medical needs. I also spent three years caring for a senior dog, giving me experience with medication routines, mobility support, and gentle, attentive care. Growing up with both cats and dogs taught me patience, confidence, and how to make every pet feel safe, loved, and understood. As a part‑time fifth‑year architecture student, I have a flexible weekly schedule that allows me to reliably incorporate pet care into my days. I balance studio work with plenty of time at home, which makes it easy for me to provide consistent attention, walks, feedings, and companionship. Pet sitting has been part of my life since I was 15, so building it into my routine feels natural, it’s a job I genuinely enjoy and make space for every week. In a client’s home, I follow their established routines closely, from feeding and walks to medication schedules and preferred play styles. I keep the home tidy, respect all instructions, and make sure pets feel secure while their owners are away. Because I’ve cared for pets with medical needs, puppies, and seniors, I’m comfortable adapting to whatever level of support each pet requires.
About: *exotics welcome (please message so we can work out details)* I have had a variety of pets throughout my life and have watched many neighbors pets through High school and college. For the last 3 years I have been an Emergency and critical Care Veterinary assistant overnight in a veterinary emergency hospital. I am directly responsible for patient care of critically sick or injured or post-op pets. I am very comfortable caring for chronic conditions such as diabetes, chronic kidney disease, congestive heart failure, etc and will seek care if needed. I am comfortable with cats, dogs and a variety of other pets such as reptiles or birds, I have had them all as patients in the CCW. If your pets are under my care they are treated the same as my pets, whether I am dropping in for visits or they are staying at my house! I currently am in school during the week, I am able to go home for lunch if needed so most pets would not be left alone for longer than 4-5 hours, if not less. Weeknights and weekends I am generally home or in the area so they would not be left alone long on those days either In my home, I have a separate room for pets to stay so that they can be separated from my other pets if needed . I have a fenced in yard and my neighborhood is entirely walkable. If I am doing drop in visits, I will ensure your pets are happy and safe on each visit and give them some attention (if they want it ! )
About: I have many years of experience in pet ownership and caring for other’s pets! I also have experience in caring for rabbits and other small animals! I am currently a college student with another part time job (in animal care), so every day’s schedule differs. Please contact me to see where I can help! I offer drop-in pet care, so that could include me taking your pet on a walk, cleaning your pet’s litter box, feeding and watering them (of course!), or any other everyday activities!
About: I’ve grown up caring for animals all my life; cattle, dogs, cats, hedgehogs, and many more. I have experience in small dogs and large, specifically dachshunds and Siberian huskies/Malamutes, as I’ve grown up with those breeds since I was a toddler! My home is very assessable to those prone to IVDD as I currently have my Mini-Dachshund living with me. I know how to administer limited medications, pills and solution/liquid medications. I am also able to provide nail trimmings for dogs only, no additional charge; I can provide my own clean dremel/nail clippers. I’m also a very patient person, so new pets won’t be a problem. I have experience with dogs who experience anxiety/are skittish. And I am experienced with elderly pets! I’m currently working part-time as a pharmacy technician (1-3 days a week) and I am in school full-time. I am able to make time after and between classes to fit all the love and attention into the needs of pets. I live on the 3rd floor of an apartment complex, I’m happy to carry the smaller pets up stairs if they have trouble with stairs! I don’t necessarily have a fenced in yard, but we do have a fenced in area specifically for dogs, most people in the complex don’t use! I enjoy taking the dogs on walks either around campus or shorter walks around the complex/home, I’m very active if your pet needs mental stimulation I am perfect for that; if your pet is more of a calm and lazy animal I can also provide for them as well! I’ve been know to be a very organized person, so if your pet is on a specific schedule I can usually adapt to that schedule very quickly and efficiently whether that’s feeding, walking or medications.
About: I grew up training puppy’s and always having a dog/cat in the home. I am a loving dog sitter and will give your dog the care they need! I am an early riser and love to go on walks so your furry friend will get great exercise!! I like schedules and routines, and my house is always very clean! I do not have any animals so there is no issue worrying if they will get along! I live in a very spacious apartment and absolutely love to go on walks!
About: I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and my first job was walking my neighbor's dogs! Since I am in college I can't have a dog of my own, but I am ready to make fast friends with yours! I am a student and work nights as a server so I have most mornings and afternoons to spend wherever is needed to care for your pet. I also am good at staying the night and making a quality connection with your pets. Although I cannot house your pets in my apartment, I am comfortable staying at your house and taking them to a local park. I will give your pets detailed and attentive care, as often as possible.
“Brooke was an excellent caretaker to my cats while I was away at the beach. She sent pics and videos and really made being away completely worry free. My cats warmed up to her quickly, which is something they don't normally do, which is a testament to her kind nature and natural instincs when watching someone's pets. She is as good as it gets. Cat Sitter Extraordinaire!! Highly recommend.”

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
