“Catherine took such great care of my cat, Lupine! I had to book a couple drop-ins with her while I was already out of town since friends wouldn’t be available to feed him at those times, and I was a little nervous. She read all of the details I sent and made me feel at ease on my first long trip away from Lu. She fed and played with him, changed his litter, and sent great pictures. I’ll definitely book with her again!”
“Rachel was amazing and professional and I felt totally comfortable leaving my pet in her hands! Would definitely recommend and plan to rebook! Loved all the pics and updates I got and it helped me relax knowing she was taking care of him”
“Brianne was wonderful with drop-in visits for our three pups over a long weekend! She sent us pictures and hung out with them for the full time every single visit, and everyone looked calm and happy throughout. Communication was great, including arranging some schedule changes and medications to manage one of our dog's weather anxiety (but she was already on top of it anyway!). Really appreciate and recommend her!”
“Whitney has been an absolute blessing! I highly recommend her to watch your fur babies! She made everything stress free while we were on vacation because of her love & dedication for taking care of our animals. Also the explanations of each visit were so great we loved reading them. Not only did she take care of our animals she took care of our home! Best pet sitting experience we’ve ever had. Thank you so much again! ❤️”
“Olga has taken great care of our visually impaired cats every time. She is always reliable and is a great communicator. I would recommend her without any hesitation.”
“Sarah is great with my high energy dogs! It’s hard for me to find care for them because one of my dogs is scared of strangers, but Sarah made her feel comfortable and relaxed. Very thankful and looking forward to future appointments!”
About: I have spent most of my life caring for rescue animals. I grew up on a farm that rehabilitated race horses and have continued to adopt and love animals in need. I have dog grooming experience, training, basic first aid/medical care (old pets and special needs). I am also insured through PCI (Pet Care Insurance) on top of the Rover Garuntee. Pet care is my fulltime job, animals are what I love and care for. I have loads of trails and hikes around to take an adventurous pup or cuddle time from the home bodies. Following your instructions on how best to care for them. And of course, lots of attention, lots of cuddles! If they are in my home, I have no problem with them being on my furniture or sleeping in bed. I do have a young pup now but she loves everyone and is up to date on her shots.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs all my life from small spunky chihuahuas to heigh energy pointers. I’ve raised multiple puppies and have gone through puppy training classes with them so I am comfortable navigating the housetraining process if that’s where your pup is at. I’ve spent many years taking my dogs to dog parks where the behavior of other dogs can be unpredictable and I am comfortable managing difficult situations. I’ve also cared for diabetic dogs needing daily insulin injections. I love an excuse to spend time outdoors and don’t mind going for a hike, playing, and running around with higher energy dogs so they can get the exercise and stimulation they need outside of the house. I’ve raised puppies and lived with small to large dogs throughout my life. I’m extra mindful of the things that puppies and high energy breeds can get into. I am willing to follow whatever routine works best for your dog!
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life and enjoy spending time with them very much. Our home is spacious with a fenced yard on a cul de sac near the airport. My dog is very well behaved and loves company 🐾 I’m currently available for boarding 7 days a week for one to two dogs. I am usually home in the afternoon and evenings. That’s my schedule I have a fenced yard with a friendly dog. The house is spacious, dogs are allowed on the furniture. I am comfortable with crating dogs at night.
“Brandon was fantastic! This was the first time I had ever left my cat without a family member or friend watching her, but Brandon made me feel very comfortable! His updates and pictures were great, and I knew my fur baby was in perfect hands. Would definitely recommend Brandon!”
About: Hi! I’m Susie. I’ve always been an animal lover and know how much our pets mean to us. For years I’ve cared for my friends’ dogs whenever they traveled, and after realizing how much I enjoy it, I decided to join Rover. At home, I have a dachshund named Nugget and a cat named Cosmo, so caring for animals is already a big part of my everyday life. I live in a single-family home with my son, and we have a fully fenced backyard with a medium-sized doggy door, giving dogs plenty of room to safely play and explore. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, relaxed, and at home while they’re with us. I’ll follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible and send regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing while you’re away. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member! I work from home 4 days a week so I am available often. Thursday I go into the office 9-5, so animal would need to handle some alone time (crated/house trained) I follow instructions left by owner and if I need any further instructions I would contact owner. I am pretty laid back and animal would have full access to home and backyard.
About: I do not accept same day bookings I’d need Atleast a week in advance before a booking starts. I’m ready to dedicate my full time to the care of your dog I love being outside and exercising so there will never be a dull moment when your dog is my care. I’m passionate and dedicated to giving my best service to you and your dog. Some things me and you’re dog may do are long walks or hikes if your dog is able also I love to go to the park and would totally be willing to throw the ball around for them I will also be able to provide your dog with lots of love and pets and cuddles whatever they need I’m here to do it I’m also able to make sure all there dietary needs are met and if there’s any medication needed I’ll be sure to give it to them. I currently own a shiba inu so I’m very comfortable working with “advanced breeds” as my shiba is a known escape artist . I’m currently not working so I have full time and attention for your dogs. I’m okay with any kind of schedule you’d like for your pups to be on! I have a giant backyard with a pool everything closed in. currently it’s my shiba and my roomates cattle dog in the household both very dog friendly.

“Jennifer went above and beyond when checking in on my Sadie. She stayed extra time when she didn’t have to and also made sure Sadie felt extra loved while we were out of town! 😊”
About: When I was around 12, I started taking care of my neighbor’s chocolate lab whenever they went camping. Ever since, I’ve known that caring for animals was a passion of mine. When I was old enough, I worked at an animal daycare for a year. Right now, I work 8:30–5:00 for a travel design company, though twice a week i work from home. But I can do walks during my lunch break, as well as check-ins, boarding requests, and feeding appointments. These days, I mostly help take care of my family and friends’ pets, and I’d be so happy to help care for yours too! As a travel designer, a portion of my work is remote, which gives me a flexible and predictable schedule. Most of my planning, emails, and itinerary work can be done from my laptop, so I’m able to be present with pets throughout the day while still meeting my work responsibilities. I believe the most crucial aspect is the communication between the pet owner and the sitter. I am committed to meeting all expectations and going above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the pet.

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 .

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.
