“I was a little leery of having someone I did t know come in the house wile I was gone but Justine did a great job with Finn. I loved seeing her photos of him and her having such a good time. He loved seeing her everyday to play and walk with. I was able to relax and have fun on my vacation knowing he was safe & well cared for. I would definitely book her in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a responsible and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have been around dogs and cats for most of my life. Growing up in China, my family regularly had pets at home, so feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for animals has always been a natural and familiar part of my life. After retiring as the CEO of a well-established pharmaceutical company in China, my wife and I moved to the United States and began a new chapter of our lives here. Since then, I have enjoyed becoming more involved in our local community. I volunteer every week at my church’s food pantry, where we help people in need, and helping and caring for others has always been very meaningful to me. I am comfortable providing both dog walking and in-home pet care for dogs and cats. This can include walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, companionship, litter box care, and following each pet’s normal daily routine. I understand that every pet has a different personality, energy level, and comfort level, and I believe patience, consistency, and attention are very important. What sets me apart is the amount of time, care, and responsibility I can give each pet. I am retired, so I have a very flexible schedule and do not need to rush through walks or visits. I also exercise regularly and stay active, so I am comfortable with walks, outdoor time, playtime, and keeping energetic dogs engaged. Since moving to the United States, my wife and I have not had pets of our own, so I especially enjoy the opportunity to spend time with dogs and cats again while helping their families. I take the trust that pet owners place in me very seriously and will always treat each pet with patience, kindness, and respect. I am retired, so pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I do not have a fixed work schedule, which gives me a great deal of flexibility for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship throughout the week. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to rather than something I need to fit around a busy job. I am often available during weekdays as well as weekends, and I can usually be flexible with morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s routine. Because my schedule is flexible, I can give each pet attentive, unhurried care and do my best to keep their normal routine consistent while their owner is away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I believe safety, trust, and respect come first. I will carefully follow your instructions and do my best to keep your pet’s normal routine consistent, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, litter box care, and companionship. I am very careful with doors, gates, leashes, collars, and harnesses to help prevent pets from getting loose. Before every walk, I will make sure everything is secure, and I will stay attentive to your pet, other animals, traffic, weather, and the surrounding environment. I also understand that you are trusting me not only with your pet, but with your home. I will always treat your home respectfully, keep pet-related areas clean and tidy, and follow any household instructions you provide. Every pet is different, so I will take time to understand their personality, routine, comfort level, and any special needs. If I am ever unsure about an instruction or notice something unusual, I will contact you rather than make assumptions. I am happy to send photos and updates during or after each visit so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“We loved Reagan! She is very thorough and professional. Provides updates for literally everything and took such good care of our babies and home! Will 100% rebook and recommend everyone do the same!”
“Hannah and Dylan truly went the extra mile for our puppy, Scout. Their communication was exceptional, making the entire process seamless. Scout absolutely adored her time with them, and we felt at ease knowing she was in such caring hands. Highly recommend their services!”
“Our dog Snoopy absolutely loves Sheryl, and she dotes on him during her visits. Because I have a long commute, our dog is alone for several hours a day, but we know Sheryl’s visits are the highlight of his day and he gets much needed love and attention, not just potty breaks. Snoop has anxiety issues, but he’s so happy to see Sheryl that he sits on her, just like he sits on us. Sheryl is an absolute delight, so reliable, and so good with Snoop - I wish I could give her 10 stars!”
“Sarah always goes above and beyond for our cats. We are so fortunate to have her look after them. She takes the time to play with them and makes sure they receive lots of cuddles and attention. We never stress or worry about them when she looks after them. Thank you, Sarah!”
“Caroline was wonderful to our 2 cats! She was loving and played with them every visit! She did everything we asked her to do, including cleaning up after them. I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again!!!”
“Ashlen is the best hands down. She was in constant communication with me if there were changes that needed to be made even outside of the app. She took such great care of my boys and we will be using her in the future”
“We had Natalie come in a couple of times to check in on our cat while my husband and I were on a week vacay and she kept us updated and went above and beyond. Our cat is very timid and is not a people person but she still came out and greeted her. 100% would book again!!”
“This was our 2nd time using Sara and won’t be our last. She took WONDERFUL care of our kitties and kept us updated with pictures and daily updates. It’s obvious how much Sara loves animals and your pets will be in great care with her!”
About: I know how hard it can be to leave your pets behind, I also know how stressful it is trying to find someone you trust to watch your fur babies. Have you wanted to get away for the weekend, or planning a vacation but don't want to coordinate with multiple people to take care of your dog (s)? That's where I come in. Take the trip! Your search for a loving, reliable person is over. I will be your dog sitter. I also have access to McConnell AFB. I give extra cuddles and treat them like my own. I have lost both of my dogs, and I am not ready to get another one quite yet. I am available for stays in your home, potty breaks, and walking. I can't wait to meet you and your fur baby! After 20 years in corporate america, I decided to take a break from the office scene. I am currently available any time to dog/house sit. I am also available for potty breaks and walks. Your pet is my focus: whether it is specific feeding times or medications, I will follow your instructions to ensure your baby is taken care of.
“Jen did a great job taking care of our cat Phoebe while we were out of town! Jen sent great updates every day including photos of the happy cat, and did everything on the daily checkup list at every visit. We would definitely choose Jen again if we got the chance.”
About: I’ve helped care for a wide range of animals some being as young as a week old to being over 14 years old. I have loved caring for hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits and the average house cat and dog. I have some free time with college classes being over for the summer and my student worker position that doesn’t require much of my time. So I would love to fill that time doing something I would love. At home I have a friendly and energetic blue heeler that loves to play ball and a senior orange tabby cat that is sweet but on his own time. I love caring and playing with them and any of my family and friends animals.
About: I learned everything I know about pet-care at the vet I worked with many years ago. There my love and passion for animal…especially dogs… grew. It was also there that I learned cats are not my favorite. 🥴 Though I learned a lot from my time working at the vet, I realized that seeing animals suffering or in pain was not something I could do on a daily basis. That realization led me to this job. In my spare time I enjoy my community at Life.Church. Service there has taught me the importance of consistency and reliability. I was recently given a new mental diagnosis, and having my community, my family and my therapist surround me with love and support has been life-changing for me. I would love to get to know you and your furry family members! Because this is my full-time job, I have open availability, and would love to help with scheduled or drop-in visits. Please just leave written instructions that I can recall later, as your pup will not be my only furry client I will need to care for. I have loved dogs ever since I can remember. While I do enjoy my work as a house sitter, watching and caring for dogs is what brings me the most purpose. I have experience with big and little dogs, so whether you have a golden retriever or a Shih Tzu, rest assured, they will be well taken care of.
“Rachael was the most attentive sitter to our dogs. She was very reliable and on time each day. She helped our anxious dog feel at ease and gave them very much needed love and pets! We will definitely be using her services again!”
About: Ever since I was a little girl, I've taken care of all manner of pets. From cats and dogs, all the way down to small critters. I do vest with dogs, but no critter is too much work for me. I have experience in administering medication, preventing altercations, and handling emergencies like illness or injury. I'm currently looking for work as a whole. The road to getting jobs, part-time or full-time, has been very long. I've had good jobs in the past! But as of now, I'm free every day aside from Thursdays. Day, night, I'm happy to do whatever is necessary for your pet. Boarding will be a small challenge for me, as I do live in a duplex. I don't have a fenced in-yard, but there is a few parks that I'm more than willing to take dogs to, and my home is very clean

Justine was the absolute best! She went above and beyond for our pup and we couldn’t appreciate her more! She gave great updates and made sure our Louie was well loved while we were away!

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.

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 use the 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.
