“Scott was extremely professional and took amazing care of Tucker(my dog) for a long week while I was on vacation. It means the world to me for my dog to be safe and happy at home while I’m away! Scott was diligent with the pictures and description of the care he gave to Tucker. I hope he has availability next time I leave town! Thank you Scott!!!”
“Kelly always comes in clutch. Incredibly responsive, fantastic with the cats. I travel a lot for work and really couldn't do it without her. Couldn't recommend her enough.”
“Roxanna's communication and photos were amazing! Made me feel super comfortable during the initial meeting and kept me up to date on each drop-in visit. I would definitely recommend Roxanna and if I need another sitter in the future, I would definitely see if she has the availability!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets on and off since high school. In the summer of 2023, I helped my neighbor walk two dogs regularly—an older Golden Retriever and a young Pomeranian. I’ve also walked a large Standard Poodle and have experience with dogs of different sizes and energy levels. Some friends have trusted me with pet-sitting at my home; the longest stay was nine days, caring for a medium-sized Poodle and a small mixed breed dog. I always make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable in a new environment. In the past, I also raised a rescued orange tabby cat from kittenhood. He was with us for many years and remains a very special part of my life. I currently work part-time on weekdays and have flexible availability after 5 PM. Right now, I offer dog walking or cat care—this includes feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving your pets plenty of love and attention. I’m not offering boarding services at the moment, but I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their space and routines. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality, energy level, and preferences. Whether it’s a shy cat or an energetic dog, I make sure they feel safe and loved while their humans are away. I’m also happy to hear about any special notes or things I should be aware of regarding your pet.
About: Huge animal lover here! I’m the live-in aunt of two sweet Golden Doodles (Winston and Winslow), as well as the cat mom to two Siamese (Boots and Kiwi) - all of which I’m totally obsessed with. Having taken full time care of all of them for 4 years, as well as many family and friends’ pet sitting opportunities, I’m excited to expand and offer the same attentive, loving care to your pets. Whether it’s daily walks or cozy drop-in visits, I treat every animal like my own with reliable updates and personalized attention. I work later afternoons at 3:30 so I’m available for morning and afternoon walks before 2pm! My schedule is very consistent so I’m available for recurring visits. I’ve gone to many homes to pet sit for multiple days at a time. I help keep the animals calm and feel comfortable even with separation anxieties.
“Wendy is the best cat sitter we've had. She communicates professionally and is flexible with key pickup and drop offs. She is reasonable with her pricing, even on holidays. She did drop-ins with our cat for 10 days over Christmas and we never had to worry about him. She sent a note and photos every day which brightened our days when we'd see them. Thanks Wendy!”
“Detail oriented. Asked relevant questions and followed instructions well. Sent lots of great pictures and updates. Was very understanding when we were required to make a schedule change. Definitely would book again.”
“Ella was so wonderful with Tortellini. My cat had her eyes removed as a kitten and is weary of new people. I’ve never left her before but Ella came to take care of her and give her love and companionship while we were on vacation. I’ll definitely use Ella again in the future!”
About: I love animals of all kinds. big to small. I have one dog of my own named Kody. He's a very good boy. I've trained him well but he's a good boy even without the commands (: I have worked as a vet assistant- assisting with pet care and cleaning. I have been a doggy daycare manager. That gave so much knowledge in dog training and behavior. I def learned the language of dogs. It's so interesting to watch them after you know what they're telling each other with their body language. I have done a ton of research in dog and cat nutrition as well. I've learned a lot of health issues can be caused from their diet. I feed my dog the best I can (: Please reach out with any questions 💕 I have a child, so thats my only schedule to work around. I have pretty open availability otherwise!! just reach out and we can find a schedule that works. I plan on making sure your dog or cat feels the most comfortable they can. I know they dont always understand whats going on with mom or dad being gone but i'll make sure they feel safe and secure.
“Sabrina was very communicative. She was great to my boy, Pablo, and she even brought in my packages for me. Will definitely be asking her first to watch him again in the future”
“Karen did a great job taking care of my cat Reedy for the week. During orientation, she was present and prepared—having read Reedy’s care instructions well. During the booking, she communicated well and was flexible to resolve an initial hiccup. Highly recommended.”
“Caroline went above and beyond when taking care of my kitties while I was away. I loved her attention to detail, genuine care and follow ups. I would recommend her to anyone and will definitely be rebooking again in the future”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Apex
Courtney is our trusted sitter every time we travel and she continues to find new ways to go above and beyond. This trip she continued her scheduled visits even through thunderstorm and tornado warnings! We are so grateful we can always rely on her when we are out of town.
Kelly is the ABSOLUTE BEST! My fiancé and I have never used a dog sitting service and we were a bit anxious to have someone come to our home to take care of our 2 dogs. Kelly and Scott were beyond understanding, super accommodating, and all around amazing with dogs! My pups have some separation issues and my border collie mix, while happy to see me, didn’t show any signs of distress or anxiety. I can’t thank them enough and if you use them for watching your pups, you are in phenomenal hands!
Jamie has helped me before she signed up for Rover, and has been doing an amazing job. Goes out of her way to make sure my cat was taken care of properly. Followed all the instructions, and would ask good questions for anything she is unsure about so my cat could live his best life. Best sitter here!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Jade was wonderful with Prince! She took great care of him, communicated well throughout, and followed all of our care instructions. It was reassuring knowing Prince was in good hands. We would absolutely recommend Jade and would be happy to have her care for Prince again!
Sarah was absolutely amazing with our two ridgebacks! I can honestly say they have never seemed happier while we’ve been away. From the moment we left, I knew they were getting so much love and attention and being cared for as if they were her own dogs. She kept me updated with the cutest pictures and thoughtful details about how they were doing, which gave me so much peace of mind and made it so much easier to relax while we were away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and took the time to make sure they felt comfortable, loved, and happy. The nicknames were spot on and kept us laughing! Sarah is reliable, attentive, trustworthy, and truly has a special way with animals. We came home to two very happy, well-loved dogs, and I couldn’t ask for more from a dog sitter. We feel so lucky to have found her and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone who will truly love and care for their pets like family! Sarah will always be our first call 💗
Wendy is absolutely a wonderful person. I met her just for 10 minutes before giving her the keys of my house and the care of my two dogs. I just moved to the area and had an emergency that was going to take me out of the state. She kept me informed of everything, she took them for walks but more than anything she gave me peace of mind during one of the most difficult times of my life, the loss of my mother. I highly recommend her services and absolutely will put in her hands my fur babies.
Jessica is the best!!! She has watched our cats a few times now and I feel so at ease with her caring for our cats. She handles the medications, food, litter, and even offers to do some cleaning up after our very messy kitties. Shes a great communicator and sends wonderful pictures of our pets. She even brings toys from home sometimes! We really appreciate her.
Sriya always takes such good care of my two cats! She is highly detail-oriented, punctual, and an animal-lover to her core. She gives us great peace of mind with plenty of pictures and thorough updates. Whether it’s daily drop-in visits, or a multi-day overnight stay, she has been incredibly respectful of our home and the boundaries of our (admittedly difficult) cats. I highly recommend her services!!

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 .

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 .
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.
