“Maricarmen did an amazing job on coming over and hanging out with my fur babies. The last few times I requested her she was able to come at last minute notice to hang out with the boys. 🐶🐶 She is always quick to respond and I will definitely be using her again. 🙏🏻”
“This was our first time to use Wendy and she is wonderful. She is so sweet with our cats. She sent several great pictures and went beyond to put our mail and packages on the porch. She's a keeper.”
“Ashlynn has been an absolute Godsend for my unexpected trip out of town. I felt comfortable knowing she has been coming in to check on my furbabies while allowing them to remain at home. She keeps me informed with pictures at every visit. I highly recommend her.”
“Spectacular service! I just moved here but had to go back to California for a funeral. Was beginning to despair about finding someone to feed and give insulin to the cats. So so grateful Madeline cheerfully agreed on such short notice to drive from out of my area and then kept in touch with me by phone while I was gone and concerned about the feedings. Furthermore the code did not work at the auto gate to the complex so she parked outside and used the pedestrian one both times. She was very patient to make sure Tyson got fed even though he was hiding both times. I can't thank her enough for her service and will use her again!”
About: I’ve had a dog for many years. Since he was 8 weeks old and is about to turn 12. We’ve been through many adventures together. I also grew up having a dog and love to see and play with my friends dogs. Among having my own dog, I’ve dog sat for my friends and family ranging from small 12 pound dogs to a larger 75 pound dog. I will be leaving my full time job soon and hope to make dog walking and drop in visits a regular part of my weekly schedule I have been a teacher for 18 years and will follow whatever detailed instructions you leave for me to care for your dog as I have cared for my students.
“Mia is absolutely great. She is my first sitter and the only one I will use. Her patients with my two pups was great and when I say pups to me they are. However one 136lb CORSO and 56lb PIT TERRIER MIX. She just fit in with them without any issues. Mia. Thank you again. I will be calling you again soon”

Stacey is great! She is extremely responsive and reliable. She was available last minute to care for my dogs when I had to go out of town. She clearly has a lot of experience with animals and knows how to interact and care for them. My dogs require some extra steps in their care routine and she made sure that everything was completed for them. We look forward to using her again soon!

- 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 .

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.
