“Beth had been wonderful! She sends lots of pictures and has taken great care of my two dogs over the past couple of months while we have been in and out of town. She is super responsive and very flexible. 100% would book again.”
“Hannah did a great job checking in on Arlo while we were out of town. She provided great updates and made sure to give him attention and affection. She was also very communicative and provided helpful updates after each visit. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi, I’m Hannah! I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and can’t remember a time when I didn’t have a furry companion by my side. Since my teenage years, I’ve been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family, and I still love helping out whenever I can. I also foster dogs, so I’m experienced with pups of all sizes, temperaments, and needs. Your dog will be in caring, capable hands with me! I am currently working remotely, so I am free most of the day to care for your dog and be there as a friend and make sure they are not left alone. I have a fenced in backyard that your pup can run around in. I also have two sweet and loving dogs of my own that will keep your pup company! If coming to your house, I will respect your space, and let you tell me how to manage your pet and home.
“Shelby is amazing! While we were out of town, she stepped in promptly when an unexpected issue arose with our original sitter. She eased our anxiety and took great care of our dogs. She is trustworthy, kind, and communicative; all traits you want your sitter to have. We are excited to work with her again in the future!”
About: I get a lot of pleasure assisting busy professionals with their pet sitting needs. I provide a nurturing and loving environment for your special pets in a very tranquil setting. Your pets will be treated as if they were my own. My husband and I will treat your pet with the utmost care and attention. References available upon request.
“Laura is fantastic! Laura sent pictures and wrote out detailed notes on what she did every day! Very communicative, respectful, follows care instructions to a tea and always on time! She is great and we will definitely be asking her to watch our 2 fur babies in the future!!”
“Kathryn went above and beyond caring for our senior dog Jackson! We were a bit nervous about using a dog sitter we didn’t know, but Kathryn put us at ease with her kindness and expertise. We’re so grateful for her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog sitter.”
“Alexia is a Great Pet Sitter, she helped Rako out for 9 days, with our return He was Given Food and Water, and there was no mess. I love how she took care of his pads. Great Young Lady to hire.”
“Allison took great care of our cat Peep and made me feel totally comfortable while I was away with her pictures and updates. She even signed for an unexpected package for us!”
“Ellie was absolutely amazing! She took marvelous care of our cats and provided detailed notes as to how the cats were doing during each visit. The pictures she provided were adorable. We would gladly re-book her and recommend her for pet sitting.”
“Pros: - Fed them - gave them meds - took them for potty - First time they came they stayed the fully scheduled amount of time - Willing to come to our house before scheduling so the dogs could meet them. Cons: - Only stayed between 12 and 17 minutes for three of the four drop ins - On the second night they didn’t get to our house until two hours after their scheduled time (we have security cameras in our house so we could see). I messaged them and tried calling but they never responded and the call went straight to voicemail.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anchorage
Katie was wonderful to work with. She was very communicative, responsive and was great at getting to know and work with our sensitive cats. Even our grouchy cat opened up to her. She was also flexible in accommodating medication routines, the needs of a senior cat, and kind details like putting squirrel and bird food out to keep our cats entertained while we were away. We will definitely book with her again!
Thomas was EXCELLENT with Sheena!! He is very attentive and conscientious in his care. Communication is superb and timely, and he was consistent with the times of his visits. Our old girl did well with Thomas in charge. We will be contacting you again when we need care for Sheena. Thank you!
Margriet is fabulous. She is always punctual, reliable, and responsible, which gives me great peace of mind when I’m away. Most importantly, I can tell that she really cares about my dog and treats her with kindness and affection. I feel very blessed knowing my dog is safely in her care. Highly recommend!
Leigh was very attentive with Karen! She played with her, spent time with her, wrote thorough reports on their time together, and was overall very communicative. She even left Karen a toy (which she loves, thank you!!!) Leigh went above and beyond and I would absolutely book her again.
Megan was absolutely amazing with Oreo! She was incredibly kind, reliable, and made us feel completely comfortable leaving Oreo in her care. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent plenty of pictures, which we really appreciated. Oreo looked happy, relaxed, and right at home with her. It was clear that Megan genuinely cared about her and treated her like one of her own. We would absolutely book with Megan again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!
Halsey was amazing! She took great care of our big, but sweet dog, Camden and provided lots of pictures and details of all their walks. She was very communicative and I knew our boy was in great care with her! We would love to have Halsey come back and care for Cam!

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.
