“Rachael was awesome! From first meeting Rachael (and having a butterfly land her, which felt like a sign), we had a good feeling about leaving our two pups in her care. When it came time for the stay, our dogs loved her (even our shy/stand-offish one), and we came back to a neat house. Wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to her again. Thank you so much for taking great care of our pups!”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of the cats! I really appreciated all the pictures and the thorough updates. It made it so much easier to relax knowing they were doing well. So glad to already have you booked again soon!”
“Dear Makayla, thank you so much for taking wonderful care of Christy while we were away. I appreciate your dedication and compassion. I wish you and your family a wonderful new year.”
About: I grew up with German Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs. I currently have a small Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for a relaxing walk, an energetic run, or simply giving them plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your dog like one of my own! I work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the week, I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-ins, and care. On weekends, I’m available throughout the entire day and can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where every dog can feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs, and I always follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medication, and routines. I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care.
“Vu did exactly what I asked and provided thoughtful updates with photos included. He went above and beyond for my cats and left me feeling very comfortable that they received the best care while I was gone. Thank you Vu!”
About: 16 years of loving pet care | 5-star, personalized & reliable Me and my husband (Vikas) treat every pet like family—with love, patience, and personalized attention. Whether it’s caring for playful puppies, managing the special needs of senior pets, or following specific feeding and medication routines, I’m committed to providing safe, compassionate, and reliable care. I also have experience with crate training, leash manners, and anxiety-prone pets. You can count on me to keep your furry friend happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away. Me and my husband (Vikas) currently work part-time from home, which gives us the flexibility to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Whether it's regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding, or just some extra cuddles, We can easily integrate pet care into my daily routine. Our schedule allows us to be present and responsive to your pet’s needs—morning, afternoon, and evening. In our home, pets enjoy a safe, loving environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and rest. We follow their usual routines and never crate dogs unless it’s part of their training or requested by the owner.
About: With experience as a former veterinary technician, I have a strong background in providing safe, attentive, and compassionate care for dogs and cats. I’m experienced with administering medications, maintaining daily routines, and providing general pet care while paying close attention to each animal’s individual needs. I’ve worked in a variety of animal shelters and kennels, giving me experience with pets of different ages, personalities, and behavioral needs. I have a particular understanding of dog behavior and am comfortable working with shy, nervous, or anxious dogs and cats. My goal is always to help each pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own environment. I also previously fostered puppies through the Brandywine SPCA, where I helped prepare them for adoption by teaching basic commands, manners, and foundational training. Before each pet-sitting stay, I like to meet with you and your pets so I can learn their routines, preferences, personalities, and specific needs. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me. I look forward to meeting your pets and providing them with the same patience, attention, and care I would give my own. Your pets’ safety and well-being are always my top priorities I currently work full-time at a kennel with a consistent schedule, including the same days off each week. My typical shifts are six hours, with occasional 10-hour weekend shifts. I receive my schedule two weeks in advance, allowing me to plan ahead and maintain flexibility for additional work commitments While I’m currently unable to have pets in my own home, I’m happy to travel to your home to provide pet-sitting services. I like to meet both you and your pets beforehand so they can get comfortable with me in their own environment. This also gives me the opportunity to learn about their routines, personalities, and individual needs while getting to know you and building a trusting relationship. I love spending quality time with pets, whether that means playing with dogs and cats, giving them attention and companionship, or simply making sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. :::
About: As a kid growing up, I had my own “business” around the neighborhood where I would care for pets in their homes. Later I worked as a veterinary tech, and feel comfortable administering needed medications or providing bathing/nail clipping services. Other than kids, animals have always been a passion of mine. I currently am a stay at home mom to 3 year old twins. I will always make your beloved pets a priority and schedule into my day as needed. I prefer to keep pets in their home, this can be a safe space for them since they feel more comfortable there versus a new home with completely new people. I can stay there with the pets, and treat them as my own. Each has their own quirks and personalities, but catering to those needs is essential. I’ve watched a variety of animals from pigs to ferrets, bearded dragons and fish, and more! Ideally searching for a consistent dog that needs walking that is good with children. One of my twins is in early intervention school and the other is with me almost all of the time. Husband will be home in evenings for overnight needs. Stay at home mom to 3 year old twins, so quick drop ins during the day and boarding in the evening would be no problem. Would love to find a consistent dog to walk during the day while one of my kids is in early intervention preschool! I’ve worked in boarding and understand the importance of giving animals what they need. They all have quirks that we love about our own pets and require lots of love especially when their humans are away.
“Emma was great with Nemo and Aria! I’m always a little nervous leaving them, but she made it easy and stress free. She kept me posted the whole time and took excellent care of them both. I want to also call out how she was very accommodating with the short notice.”
About: Ever since I was young, I’ve had an overwhelming love for dogs. Because my mom was allergic, I couldn't have one in my house growing up, so around age 10 I started going to my neighbor's house daily just to spend time with their Golden Retriever, Ginger. I played with her, trained her, and we even entered a local dog show together. That early experience gave me a lifelong passion for giving dogs the active, fulfilling lives they deserve. For years, neighbors, friends, and coworkers have trusted me to care for, walk, and sit their dogs. I have hands-on experience with all kinds of routines, from multi-day home sitting to daily drop-ins, and I genuinely enjoy every moment of it. When your dog is with me, they will receive undivided attention, patience, and love just like they're my own family. What I feel sets me apart: • Built for high-energy & athletic dogs: I live a very active outdoor lifestyle and love spending time in nature. If your dog needs long walks, runs, hikes, or never wants any downtime, I’m the walker for you. • Attentive and reliable: I will follow your home, feeding, and leash instructions very thoroughly, and I always prioritize safety and situational awareness on walks. • Detailed updates: You’ll receive prompt communication and great photo updates all the time so you know your dog is having a blast. One more thing to add, I don’t care if your dog isn’t trained, or if they're the craziest dog in the world, or if they jump, or if they weigh 140 pounds of pure muscle, I can guarantee we will get along and have a good time. As a college student with in-person classes only on Tuesdays and Thursdays, I have wide-open, dedicated availability throughout Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and full weekends. On my class days and during the couple of weekday evenings when I teach tennis clinics, I plan my dog walks and drop-in visits around those specific blocks. This setup gives me substantial, predictable chunks of free time throughout the week for morning outings, midday check-ins, and extended weekend care. I’m punctual, organized with my calendar, and happy to coordinate a routine that aligns with your dog’s needs. Safety for your pet is obviously every pet owner’s number one priority, which makes it mine as well when your pet is in my care. All instructions for anything whether it be for your household or for your pet that are given to me will always be followed through with. Also, when your dog is on a walk with me, I can guarantee their safety. I have walked so many dogs in my life, and I know that there is never a moment during a walk where safety isn’t the number one priority, with fun being second of course. Lastly, if I am caring for your pet in at your place of residence, I will always be respectful and safe.
About: I’ve grown up with Great Pyrenees and Bernese Mountain Dogs, from puppies to seniors, and I love being a part of their growth. I’m all about giving dogs the care they deserve. I have friends with every breed, from pit mixes to mutts, and treat every dog with the same love and respect. I’m also an outdoor enthusiast and love taking dogs on walks to explore! I am work from home a few days a week and typically local on the weekends. I am available to pop by before my day starts, during my lunch, or after the working day! I am happy to block some time as well for walks when necessary. I am very flexible and happy to discuss schedules! I have a lot of experience with different dogs and happy to engage with your dog as instructed/needed for their personality type. I can be there for a quick potty break, or a nice walk - long or short, whatever they need!
“Excellent care and very professional. Sofia was wonderful, our very timid cat even came out for her on the first visit. She is excellent at administering injections. Will use again.”
About: I love animals and have always loved taking care of them. I have had 3 cats in my life. All of which had different needs, like administering medication and after surgery care. One of my first jobs was regularly walking an American Bulldog, Elvis. He was the sweetest! I’ve dog sat multiple times for a variety of breeds, from golden doodles to bull terriers. I work from home, so my schedule is pretty flexible. I am able to make visits earlier in the morning, during lunch hours, and late afternoon. I plan to keep in communication with you in order to maintain safety & trust while I care for your pets! Maintaining a safe environment is important to me, I plan to make sure my care mimics yours to reduce stress on you pets!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Anselma
I was away for 10 days and was a little nervous leaving my cat, but Rachael A. made it easy. I got regular updates and photos, which honestly made my trip so much more relaxing. My cat was happy, healthy, and clearly well cared for the whole time. Rachael A. was reliable, communicative, and so kind with my cat. I came home to a calm, content kitty and a tidy house. You can tell that she truly love animals. Thank you so much! I’ll absolutely be booking again and recommending to everyone I know.
Himal was amazing with my two pretty untrained medium-sized dogs who are wholly unused to having a sitter and very attached to me. She watched them upstairs in my house while I hosted a large party downstairs. She was incredibly patient with them and clearly was closely observing their behaviors and changes over time throughout the time the party lasted, learning what worked for them and analyzing why. I can see now that it was a very challenging assignment because they dogs knew I was in the house; nevertheless, she made the very best of it and when I went upstairs to check on everyone at one point, I was very impressed to see the one who is most wary of people-who-are-not-me lying on the bed accepting pets as Himal sat next to her. Himal is exceptionally thoughtful and kind and I highly recommend her!

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.
