“Kim was friendly and enthusiastic and I feel like she genuinely made "friends" with my dog, she took as good care of her as I do myself! Thorough reports, responsive, and trustworthy.”
“Ginna was a life saver agreeing to come over same day and visit my stinky man while myself and my roommate were away. They were very professional, and I loved the pictures they took of my sweet boy!”
“Mackenzie checked in multiple times when watching my puppy. He was super responsive and sent photos which was amazing! My puppy absolutely loved seeing Mackenzie. During the first visit he stayed longer than needed so that my puppy could get more use to him being around. Each update was thorough as well. I strongly recommend Mackenzie!!”
“Juliana was a great help when it came time to find a cat sitter over the holiday! It was a last minute booking but her quick communication and welcoming persona was reassuring that I was leaving my pet in good hands. She’s hardworking, exceptionally punctual, and was wonderful with keeping me up to date and letting me know what my cat was up to during the day. Thanks Juliana!”
“Brittany was great with my two cats during a recent trip. Her daily updates and pics put my mind at ease, and the cats seemed happy when I got home showing they received plenty of love and playtime Brittany will be the first person I check with next time I need a sitter”
“Glory was a life-saver! I had last-minute long workdays, so I needed to find someone to come and hang with my dog who has a touch of separation anxiety. From Glory’s communication and pictures, I could tell that Huck warmed right up to her! And usually it takes him a little time to embrace new people. He was so excited to see her when she came over for their midday walk. Glory is reliable, communicative, and, of course, very good with animals! She will definitely be my go-to if I ever need help with Huck again.”
“Brianna is great, she follows the instructions given and is dependable and responds promptly to any questions. She is very responsible and knowledgeable regarding pets needs”
“I couldn’t recommend Abigail enough! She helped us out by watching our pup over Thanksgiving with only a few days notice, and really made us feel comfortable during our first Rover experience. Abigail was proactive in anticipating Bug’s and our needs, like offering to meet Bug beforehand so they could get acquainted and so we could walk her through instructions and generally get to know her. She was very diligent with instructions, playful and caring with Bug, and extremely respectful of our home. We look forward to keeping in touch and will be reaching out again! 😊”
“Kelly did so well with our dog! She sent many updates and pictures and went above and beyond to make sure our girl’s needs were all taken care of before leaving. Our dog is sometimes weary around new people, but warmed up very quickly to Kelly. Will definitely be booking again!!”
“Casey checked on Franklin for me late as I work overnight. She was super sweet and very informative even going out of her way to clean up a possible accident from him!!! I’d 100% recommend Casey and use her again!”

“Bryce was awesome. I left out of town for 2 days, he dropped in to check on my pup a few times a day and he was so respectful and kind to my pup. My pup loved going on walks with him. He was very responsive and followed directions very carefully.”
About: I have about two years of hands-on pet care experience. For a year and a half, I volunteered at the Humane Society, where I learned how to read dog body language, handle different temperaments, and keep dogs safe and calm on walks. I also spent two years helping my parents raise and train our family dog, so I am very comfortable with basic training, positive reinforcement, and keeping routines consistent. Because of my shelter background, I am patient with shy or high-energy dogs, and I always prioritize safety on walks by avoiding stressful situations or unknown off-leash dogs. I am currently a freshman online student at CSU. Since I am adjusting to my first year of college, I treat pet care like structured, scheduled appointments rather than trying to do everything at once. I am already used to balancing my time because I regularly look after my aunt's dogs around my schoolwork. Because my classes are online, I don't have to commute, which gives me specific windows during the day for walks and check-ins. Because I complete most of my coursework on Mondays and Tuesdays, I have limited time that I can spend with housesitting those days, I will have to return home for about 3-6 hours to study on Mondays and Tuesdays if I am housesitting. Safety is my main focus because of my background volunteering at the Humane Society. That experience taught me to always be alert, double-check leash attachments, and watch for warning signs in a dog's body language before any issues happen. On walks, I keep a tight grip on the leash, look out for hazards, and never let strange dogs approach or interact with your pup on the street. For house sitting, I respect your home completely and follow all your instructions regarding security and locked doors. I stick strictly to your dog's regular feeding and bathroom schedules to keep their stress levels low while you are away, and I will always send you quick photo updates so you know everything is going smoothly.
“Gabriella has taken excellent care of our two cats. She keeps their litter clean, easily follows care instructions, including the administration of supplements and our cats clearly lover her looking after them. She is super communicative and remains flexible when last minute things come up. We will definitely continue to utilize her as other trips and needs come up!”

Victoria did an absolutely incredible job taking care of our three cats! She gave incredible updates and photos the entire time. She made sure to give all of our cats tons of love, play time, and attention. I couldn’t be more grateful for her service. Highly recommend!
Ryan is amazing!! He agreed to do a meet and greet with our little guy before a drop-in visit and it helped make both us, and our dog feel super comfortable! He was very responsive, prompt, and so sweet to our little guy! We would absolutely recommend Ryan and can’t wait to work with him on the future.
Mackenzie checked in multiple times when watching my puppy. He was super responsive and sent photos which was amazing! My puppy absolutely loved seeing Mackenzie. During the first visit he stayed longer than needed so that my puppy could get more use to him being around. Each update was thorough as well. I strongly recommend Mackenzie!!

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.
