“Daniel cared for my two cats today, and I am impressed! My cats are on two ends of the personality spectrum. One is young and friendly/affectionate, and one is older and, well, not that friendly. Daniel shared a photo of the older one sitting right next to him! She has actually never done that with a "new" person. He was prompt, communicative, responsible, and dependable. We would not hesitate for a moment to hire him again for any pet care needs. Meeting him has taken a later of stress off any future trips we book, and minimized the stress for our cats too, who clearly liked him better than they like us! Thanks Daniel!”
About: I've helped with pets big and small! I've watched family and friends' pets for many years. I'm happy to provide the best care for your pet so you don't have to worry! I'm dependable and caring. Although I don't have any pets at home, I'm hoping to adopt soon. I will treat your pet as if its my own with lots of cuddles and treats! My schedule is very flexible. I'm available most weekends and evenings. I can check in on your pet during the day as well to walk when needed. I have a nice yard and easily accessible sidewalk and trails to walk your pet frequently and when necessary. Your pet would be treated like family.
“We are so glad we found Diana! She took excellent care of our 2 year old VERY energetic lab. She is newly adopted so we were very nervous leaving her overnight for the first time. Diana was great meeting with us beforehand to discuss our dogs schedule and any special requests. She sent many updates and pictures which helped us feel at ease. She gave our dog plenty of playtime and exercise so that our absence wasn’t distressing to our pup and she was very flexible with our changing schedule. We would absolutely book with Diana again!!”
“Samantha is a great pet sitter. The only opinion that really matters is the pet's, and he took to her immediately on the first visit. He's usually skittish and hides at first if he doesn't know someone, but there he was on the first visit, coming right up to say hello. From the human standpoint, Samantha is a kind person and professional. She shows up and spends time with your pet. Highly recommended!”
“Laura is amazing! We had an incident with a bat in our house that she noticed when she came to check on our cat. She took action, called animal control, and brought our cat to the vet for a rabies shot. Being able to trust Laura to take care of him meant the world to me on my vacation. 6 out of 5 stars!! Haha”
“Kat was amazing! I would ask her to come take care of our cat again in a heartbeat — we got great photos and nice, detailed notes about her visits. She clearly knows how to take care of animals, from the minute she meets them it’s obvious that she’s not only good at it, she genuinely enjoys connecting with them. If you need a sitter or a pet visitor you could not get better care!”
“Madison took loving and meticulous care of my cat while I was away. She communicated very consistently and had great follow up. The pictures and details she sent were so good they it possible for us to relax knowing our kitty was in good hands.”
“Elise was very communicative and took great care of my kitty, Cleo, while I was on vacation for a weekend. Elise seems like she genuinely loved spending time with Cleo, gave her lots of attention, and played with her. I'd definitely rebook Elise!”
About: What sets me apart is that I don’t offer one-size-fits-all care—I tailor everything to your dog’s stage of life and personality. I have hands-on experience caring for both senior dogs and puppies, so I understand how different their needs really are. I’m available seven days a week with flexible hours and happy to work around your schedule. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just companionship, I make sure your pets get consistent, attentive care whenever they need it. treat every pet like my own—with patience, respect, and real attention to their unique needs. I stick closely to routines, communicate clearly, and make sure each pet feels safe, calm, and loved while you’re away. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely at ease.
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of various ages, sizes and breeds since I was a kid. I grew up with always at least 1 dog (usually 2) and 2 cats. I have watched pets for neighbors, friends and family consistently throughout the years and have been relied upon to walk, feed, pet and play with their pets. I am also a fur mom for my sweet 9-year old kitten, Pancakes and my 2.5 year old golden retriever, Stella. I take time to make other pets comfortable and give them not only the basic needs but companionship and playtime that is just as important! I am currently taking time away from the corporate world and have lots of time to take care of pets! I’m flexible for daytime and evening visits. I will always take great care to make sure that pets are safe while under my care. When walking I’ll always be sure dogs are leashed and when at home I’ll make sure windows & doors are closed.
“Robyn was very friendly and communicative throughout her drop-in visits to check on our cats. We received daily pics and updates — we will definitely have her back and we highly recommend Robyn!”
About: Donna and I started taking care of dogs when we lost our Chesapeake Bay Retriever, Dutchin. We got her when she was 3 months old and she was our baby. When she crossed the Rainbow Bridge, we couldn't bring ourselves to get another dog, but wanted to still experience the joy that dogs bring to our lives. We decided to provide both care and a safe, loving home for other people's pets while their humans are away or otherwise unable to care for them short-term. This way, we can give you peace of mind in knowing your best friend is safe and happy, and we get to interact with all kinds of dogs, which gives us great joy! Your friend will get all the love and attention you give them; and, well, if we spoil them a bit too much, sorry (not sorry)! We are both retired, so we have plenty of time to care for your pets whether in our home or yours. We are available for walks, drop in visits and overnight boarding in our home. When boarding with us, your fur baby will never be alone as someone is always home. We have a large fenced-in yard where your dog can run and play off leash safely. Are your pets used to making themselves at home on the couch? Not a problem! They are more than welcome to snuggle up on ours. If you wish to make your pet a little more at home, you may bring your pet's bed, toys and/or crate.
“Adele was great. Was there when I asked her to be. Took care of the dogs and fed the cats. And she came on Thanksgiving. Reliable and friendly. I would definitely recommend her!”

“We just moved here last week and were gone over Christmas so we had to find someone reliable to take care of our cat, Pancakes, on very short notice. Laney was extremely reliable, communicative, and helped relieve an area of stress for us over this holiday season. We will definitely continue to use her for cat care and also to take care of our pup in the future.”

“Hannah was great with our pup while we were away for the weekend. She showed up on time for each check-in and spent time with him in addition to following all of the feeding and watering instructions. We highly recommend her she really made our time away stress free. Thanks Hannah!”
About: I've been around animals my whole life. I grew up with dogs, and these days I'm often the person friends and family call when they need someone to look after their pets. I've spent plenty of time walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they're well cared for while their owners are away. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes, including larger, high-energy breeds. I enjoy getting to know each animal's personality and building trust with them. I've even trained my own cats to do tricks and respond to commands using positive reinforcement. Taking care of animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and I take the responsibility seriously because I know how much people's pets mean to them. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I work from home on Mondays and Fridays, which gives me the flexibility to provide walks, drop-in visits, and pet care throughout the day. Outside of work, taking care of animals has always been a regular part of my life, whether that's spending time with my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. Because I work a consistent schedule and plan my time carefully, I can be reliable and punctual when it comes to pet care. I enjoy getting outside for walks and spending time with animals, so it's something I genuinely look forward to rather than trying to squeeze into a busy schedule. I try to keep things as close to the pet's normal routine as possible. When I'm caring for a pet in their home, I follow the owner's instructions and make sure they're getting everything they need, whether that's walks, meals, playtime, medications, or just some company while their owner is away. I pay attention to each animal's personality and body language and adjust my approach accordingly. Some pets want lots of attention and activity, while others are happier with a quieter approach and a little extra patience. I'm comfortable with both. Safety is always important to me. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, and I keep an eye out for anything that seems out of the ordinary. My goal is to make sure pets are comfortable, well cared for, and as stress-free as possible while their owners are away. I make sure that I'm always available, and communication is a huge priority for me

Caroline was so attentive and took excellent care of our cat Skye. She communicated every step of the way and even with a northeater to deal with during the week she still arrived as planned and provided care and reassurance throughout the week. Thank you for everything Caroline…really appreciate you!

Janine was so great with my pups. My one dog can be iffy on new people and she was so comforting to him that he absolutely loved her. She handled them both so well and was very good at communicating throughout the entire visit. Will definitely book with her again!

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 .

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.
