“Lauren is amazing! She is so thorough in her visit updates, and sends plenty of pictures. She takes the time to sit with our dogs and make sure they are comfortable with her. We could not ask for a better drop-in sitter!”
“Jennifer came for a meet and greet with Angus, and I was so impressed! It was apparrent immediately that she is a true animal lover, Angus warmed to her right away. She's also professional and a great communicator!”

About: I have had dogs, one or two, and a cat since I was born. I firmly believe that dogs that get outside for exercise and play will have a happier, healthier life. I'm currently finishing graduate school and happy to help out with animals of all sizes. I love to be outside and walking dogs is always a great way to spend some time. I'm happy to help walk dogs in the morning or evening and willing to provide house care as well! I work at a PT clinic close by, 8 hours a day so happy to care for your pets if this fits the need! I have 2 dogs who are very good with other dogs, we have a fenced yard and a big deck and a forest behind for exercise
“Katie was wonderful. It was our first time to have someone do drop-in visits for our cat, Moscato. We were away for a few days and Katie kept us posted with photos and how my cat was doing. We are grateful for Katie. She is very caring, attentive and most of all trustworthy. My Moscato was well taken cared of just like her own. I feel comfortable knowing that I have Katie to contact when something comes up and need care for my cat. I highly recommend Katie!! Truly a Star sitter!!”
About: Hi! I am Teena. I reside in Kintnersville, Pa (near Lake Nockamixon). I’ve spent years caring for a wide variety of pets, including small & medium dogs, cats, ferrets, hamsters, guinea pigs, birds & parrots, all of which I’ve personally owned and loved at different points in my life. Small dogs especially hold a huge place in my heart, and I proudly admit to being a total Chihuahua addict! I currently share my home with four Chihuahuas (two hairless) and one Pomeranian, so I’m very comfortable with the unique personalities, quirks, and care needs that come with tiny breeds. Because my home is already full of furry little personalities, I’m unable to offer boarding services. However, I’m more than happy to provide drop-in visits where I can spend quality time with your pet, offer companionship, playtime, feeding, walks, and general care while you’re away. I also have extensive experience administering oral medications, including pills and tablet forms, but I do not offer injectable medications or shots, as I do not have professional training in that area. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for like they’re part of the family. As a business owner of a catering & cooking school, I work mostly from home during the week with a flexible schedule. Weekends are filled with caterings, events and other food-industry gigs, so I am available Mon-Fri at this time. Drop-in visits will be centered around potty breaks for dogs, feedings if necessary or simple companionship in half hour blocks of time. In my home, my pups love just being near humans and love the togetherness. I mimic this when dropping in for clients. Drop-ins for cats and other small pets will depend on the wants & needs of the pet and if they are comfortable with human interaction or if they simple require feedings and check-ins.
“Elizabeth was great. First visit with my fur family of a dog and 3 cats. Liz was timely and sent pics, which I always look forward to. She was conscientious and flexible when my old dog didn't want to cooperate. Appreciate the extra effort. Will definitely use Liz again.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and Rover for years and am excited by every opportunity I get to spend with them! I've been a dog owner myself for over 5 years. I can easily adjust my sitting style for dogs with a lot of energy or ones that are a little more relaxed. I am happy to sit in and give belly rubs or take them out on a long walk with me! My home has a fenced in backyard and there are plenty of places to walk near me. I typically work full time during the week at a non-profit theatre, I'm always happy to meet in person before we make final arrangements. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be happy to spend some time with the dog in your life!
“Came for a meet and greet on short notice before Xmas and then came by to watch our dog while we were away for the holiday. Lynn was very thorough and sent us lots of photos and updates. We will definitely ask her back! Thank you very much Lynn!”
About: I’ve loved animals my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and personalities!! At home I’ve got a sweet tabby cat, a very energetic 90 lb Labrador, and two small but loud and cuddly Chiweenies🤣🤣so I’m used to everything from high energy dogs to relaxed cats, and both big and small breeds. I’m patient, attentive, and really treat every pet like they’re my own. I genuinely love being around animals and caring for them is something I take seriously and enjoy a lot. I also have experience with special needs pets and am comfortable administering medication if needed. Whether your pet needs extra playtime, gentle senior care, help staying on a routine, or just a reliable and loving presence, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.👍🥰 I just graduated college and I’m really looking forward to taking things a little slower right now. Pet care is something I genuinely enjoy, so it fits perfectly into my life right now. I’d love the chance to spend my time taking care of and keeping company with your pets while you’re away. I currently work part-time, which leaves me with a lot of flexibility and open availability. I’m available for overnight pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I’m also happy to house sit and help with small things like taking out the trash, bringing in mail, and keeping things tidy while you’re gone. I’m reliable, calm, and easygoing, and I really do enjoy being around animals, it doesn’t feel like a job to me so much as something I like to do:) I am very cautious, patient, and detail-oriented when caring for pets. I always follow your instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable. I treat every home with respect, keep doors secured, monitor pets carefully, and do my best to provide a clean, calm environment where they can relax and feel completely at ease.
“Jessie is a wonderful care taker for my dogs. I have one old boy Rosco and a 5 year old girl Delta. Jessie has watched my dogs and when I can home there were in perfect shape. Sometimes Delta is a little difficult to walk but Jessie handles it with kindness and compassion. Since Rosco is an older dog his bladder is not as good as it once was so I have pee pads out. Jessie replaced them when Rosco had an accident. She came in twice a day at times that were very close to the dogs normal schedule. Based on my experience I'd recommend her. I plan to engage her in the future. You cannot go wrong.”
About: I had a dog as a child. I have had dogs for over 35 years. They are great company and a great addition to any family. I am retired. My time would be totally devoted to spending time with your pet(s). I look forward to giving you the comfort that your pets are well-cared for while you are not home. My pets at home are pretty spoiled. They are not crated and we play inside and outside. Whatever the owners require is what I will do. Unfortunately, my most recent dog died of cancer. I miss her; but look forward to taking good care of other people’s pets.
About: I’m in school to become a certified veterinary technician. Last year I started working in a kennel, but now i’m currently at an animal hospital as a technician assistant I’m a part time student while maintaining a job in the animal field. I have my own pets as well, a hamster, and soon to be rabbit. I have also had dogs and cats. When your companion is in my care I will treat them as my own. I am very compassionate and observant. With my medical knowledge and experience your furry friend will always have my full attention and the best care.
About: I have experience with a wide range of dogs, including Belgian Malinois, German Shepards, Pugs, Boxers, Chihuahuas, etc. I also have experience with senior dogs and dogs with medications, so I have no problem spending time with more high-need babies. I am a sophomore at Lehigh studying Public Health and would love to be your new sitter!! I have two cats and one dog at home in Michigan. I'm a full-time college student but my schedule is flexible, with weekend, evening, and Friday all day availability. Please message me to see my availability and I'd love to work something out! I am more than willing to come to your home to keep your pets happy and healthy, so let me know of any concerns you may have with your babies health and happiness and I'll be sure to take great care!
“Caroline is AMAZING!! I truly cannot say enough good things about how wonderful of a pet sitter she is! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away and I could feel all the love he was getting from her!! She gave me updates and pictures daily that made me so happy!

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
