“Cassandra was an excellent sitter for my two cats while I was away on vacation! I would absolutely recommend her for anyone who needs someone to watch their pets while they are away!”
About: I have had pets all my life. Mainly dogs. I have trained some of my personal pets in the past. I also love seeing animals personalities, and learning to work with them from there. I work 8a-4p Tuesday - Friday, and some Mondays (same hours). I never work weekends or evenings. I have an hour for lunch on the days I work, so I am able to run by for a potty break if needed. I have a big fenced in backyard just waiting for your dog to come roam! I do not currently have any pets, so I do not have a cage, water bowl, leash, etc. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.
About: I have been a dog lover since I was a young child playing with them holding them. Let them show me there joys and if sad hold them for awhile. They are wonderful friends. I am currently not working as summer school jobs are slim. I am available any day at anytime I am needed use me if needed I will care for your dogs by giving them structure and a routine so they can’t miss you as much and anxious behavior is minimized.
“Gidget was great with my two cats. She showed up consistently and took care of them while I was on vacation. She sent pictures every day to let me know how things were going. I will definitely use again.”
“Riley loves his time with Thomas. He is so kind and is taking great care of him on his visits! I love the midday photos and look forward to having his continued help. And he even brings in the garbage can from the road! A small thing but so thoughtful. Thomas is the best.”
About: I am new to rover. I thought this would be a fun experience, and so loving. Dogs are such good therapy. I have two golden retrievers. Ages 8 and 4. I know what it is like to have to leave your dog and always hope that they will get just as much love from the sitter as they do at home. I promise to give your animals just as much love as they get at home and make sure he is comfortable while you are away. I work full time Monday thru Friday and im home weekends. I currently work full time. But I work from home. I’m able to go to your home on my lunch break and when I get off work to care for them. I have a fenced yard and two dogs to keep your dog company. I can crate your dog if needed. Mine are not crated anymore.
About: I’ve volunteered for Young Williams for the past 4 years. Neighbours and family have relied on me to walk, feed, water, play with and train their dogs. I have experience with all sizes of dogs. I currently have full open availability. I’ve available 7 days a week anytime. I have updated my availability on my calendar. Please reach out with any questions. When I walk your dog, they will always be on a leash and watched carefully especially around cars and other dogs. I usually do a run/walk combo to tire the dogs out.
About: I have had pets for all of my life. I am available to take care of most pet and have experiences with elderly dog to young dog. I am at home right now and have a large fenced in back yard.

About: From an early age, we have cared for, rescued, and loved animals of all types. Into adulthood, we have been blessed to be trusted to provide care for several fur babies, small to large. Developing and maintaining ongoing friendships with both the pets, and the owners is important to us. Earning trust and getting invited back is what drives us. We will be honored to meet you, and your four-legged family. Thank you for your consideration! Brita is currently working part time and has plenty of time to care for your pets! We are passionate about the well being of animals and will be available rain or shine. We believe the safety of your four-legged family member is very important. At our home, our cats are never without. Simply walking, feeding, and providing clean water is not what pet-sitting is all about. Our furry friends also need love and companionship. That, I believe, sets us apart.
About: I love hanging out with animals, playing with them and loving on them! I dog sit and cat sit regularly throughout the week for friends, family and neighbors. I have multiple references if ever needed. I’ve done multiple overnight and week stays in clients houses. I’ve also done multiple drop ins for first time meet with the pet.

I make sure your animals will be treated with love and respect. I also will make sure to clean up any mess that has been made.
“Jessica is absolute amazing! When our regular sitter had to back out at the last minute, Jessica was able to step in and make sure our pups were well taken care of. Our fur babies absolutely loved spending time with her!”
About: Hello! Thanks for checking in! I would be glad to help care for your furry family member 🐶❤️🐈. A little about me--I have had a love for animals since I was young, and I find that I have always felt most at home surrounded by our furry, four-footed family over the years. We have had animals all my life, and we have raised several breeds of dogs including Dalmatian, Cocker Spaniel, Blue and Red Heelers, Australian Shepherd, Border Collie, Boxer, Standard Poodles, Great Pyranees, and many more loveable mixed breeds. I have taken care of dogs and puppies since I was 5 years old. They were always like family to me, and I have many years of experience of their care and basic command training for puppies using positive reinforcement. I have experience caring for sick and senior dogs as well as every canine that has come into our family has found their forever home and lived out their fullest lives possible. If your pup needs some freshening up, a haircut, or a pedicure, I can help with that. I am a professional pet stylist and member of the NDGAA. I have continued education through NDGAA workshops and worked full-time at a pet salon for a few years while also grooming my own dogs, Standard Poodles, their whole lives (14 years.) I can bathe or groom your dog or trim their nails if needed. I currently work part-time, and I have quite a bit of extra time to care for your pups and kitties. Wednesdays and Sundays are our busiest days, so I will not be able to offer pickup on those days, but the other days are open. I have a fenced yard, and I will leash your dog on walks for extra care. They are free to be downstairs in my home with me and our family, and I will kennel for their safety when and if we leave the home for short errands. For pet care in their home, I can take on walks, let outside into fenced yard, feed, water, and bathe/groom the dogs or trim nails if needed. I also have trained several puppies basic commands using clicker-training and positive reinforcement.

“My cats were happy and relaxed when I returned, a sure sign they received the care they know they deserve! Haley went well above and beyond to care for my group of cats, including medications. We (the cats and I) couldn't be more pleased. I look forward to worry-free travel now that I know I have found a dependable carer for my fur kids. Cannot recommend Haley highly enough!”
About: Growing up I've always had a special place in my heart for dogs. I’ve got experience of 10 months at an open play facility specifically for dogs. I also have experience in senior care and more temperamental dogs who need a little more time to trust. I have a Pembroke welsh corgi who is 3 and is completely spoiled and knows it. My goal here is to make sure your dog is happy and stress free while you’re away!🐾 I currently work part time. I have every weekend off. And 1 day thru out the week off. I usually get off right before the sunset so perfect timing for night walks when it’s not so hot on the pups. (Please note I can only edit my availability out so far due to my schedule at my part time job. I update my availability as soon as I get my schedule.) 😊I would be more then happy to meet ur pup! As I do drop in visits, I will always make sure your dog has clean water and exercise. I can feed any kind of food/medication as I do understand every dog has a different diet.
“Sandy was great! She did check ins with our big dogs and an overnight boarding with our baby dog. Sandy's dog cupcake got along so well with my dog. I would definitely recommend her to be anyone's dog sitter!”
“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!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Alnwick
After having years of failed attempts on my own, I finally decided to use Rover to find a sitter for my two dogs for a quick overnight out of town. Matthew was the perfect choice to check in on them! He was timely, friendly, asked all the questions a dog mom would need to answer before leaving and left my mind perfectly at ease. I would definitely recommend Matthew to anyone, and plan to use him again, schedules permitting. Thank you so much, Matthew!
This is the first time I've used Rover and I was a bit nervous about having a pet sitter I didn't know. But, Cassandra did a great job taking care of the kitties. She sent me pictures and updates every day so that I would know everything was ok. I would highly recommend 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 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.
