“Robin was soooo good. I couldn't have asked for more. My typically shy cat warmed up to her quickly. She kept me informed eyery day. If you choose her I'm sure you won't be disappointed.”
“Erin did a fantastic job taking car of our cat Esther once again, giving her everything she needed, even her shots. It has been a joy to have Erin take car of Esther and we have been able to relax knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Ella was great to work with and I would highly recommend her to care for your fur babies! She was punctual and flexible when we needed to add on an extra walk to our reservation. My Scooby thought she was the sweetest!”
“Annie was fantastic! She came over to meet my cat and get care instructions prior to her drop-ins and took wonderful care of my baby while I was gone? Great communication, great pricing, and she sent lots of pictures! Will definitely book with her again next time!”
About: I am a dog trainer who has worked many different types of dog breeds. I am also a pet mom and have been surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals my whole life. I am currently out of school for the summer, and I am available for all your pet sitting or dog training needs. It's my pleasure. As a professional pet sitter and trainer, I ensure your beloved pets receive the best care. I feed them on schedule, engage in playtime, provide ample cuddles, and take them on regular walks. I treat each pet with the same love and attention I give my own. Your pets' well-being and happiness are my top priorities.
“You can tell that Brian is obviously a lover of dogs, and he is very skilled at interacting with them. I would happily use his services again. His communication was outstanding throughout the duration of his visit.”
“We are so thankful to Mackenzie for the wonderful care she gave Pebbles and Bear! It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands while we were away. We were especially happy to hear that they finally got more comfortable and used to Mackenzie. We also really appreciated getting to know Mackenzie along the way. We got back home yesterday, and both Pebbles and Bear were happy to see us—which made us happy too! I always hate having to leave them for that long, so knowing they were well cared for made the trip much easier. Thank you again, Mackenzie, for taking such great care of our fur babies. We truly appreciate you and look forward to staying in touch!”
“Kristin was wonderful! She treated my cats like her own. Great communication and consistency gave me peace of mind while I was out of the country. My cats were happy and my home was well cared for when I returned.”
About: i’ve been taking care of dogs of my own, family members and friends for a long time now. this includes potty training younger dogs and giving special care for elderly dogs or dogs that have special dietary restrictions i am available typically at most times except for the occasions when i am spending time with family on the weekends but that is neither here nor there i have a fenced in yard with lots of space. there are a dog and a puppy living here right now but they can be separated from your dog(s) if need be
About: I grew up taking care of three dogs at home while my parents were away at work. I’ve always been great at keeping the dogs entertained. I always volunteered at the cat shelter, Good Mews, for a number of years. I am jobless for the summer other than rover so I can take care of dogs anytime all the time. My schedule is very flexible. I make sure to always keep my eye on my pets to make sure they don’t go anywhere they aren’t supposed to or get into anything they shouldn’t.
About: I have over 10 years of experience with taking care of pets! I’m experienced in pet sitting, housesitting, and everything in-between! I’ve taken care of pets of all ages, from puppies and kittens to seniors. I’m currently working part-time so I am able to be with your pet almost all day, keeping them company while you’re gone! I would also be able to give frequent walks and potty breaks, if needed. If your pet enjoys walks, I would love to take them on an adventure, and if not, I love relaxing at home too! I have experience with crate-trained dogs as well, if needed. My number one priority is making sure your pet is safe and relaxed while you’re away.
“We are so grateful for the wonderful care Caylen provided for our old man. She handled his shyness with such patience and kindness, and it was clear she genuinely cared about his well being. She was extremely punctual, dependable, and consistently went above and beyond. Her communication was excellent throughout our time away, keeping us updated and giving us peace of mind that he was in great hands. We came home to a happy, well cared for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend! 🐾❤️”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for 20 years, starting with dogs and cats growing up, and later managing a household of up to 5 dogs and 2-3 cats at a time as an adult. In college I even helped bottle-raise baby animals alongside a close friend who’s now a veterinarian. I have hands-on experience with senior pet care, including managing diabetes with insulin injections for both a dog and a cat, and administering subcutaneous fluids to an elderly cat. I’m comfortable with pets who need extra medical attention or a gentler pace, as well as high-energy pups who need a good long walk. As a homeowner and mom of three, I understand how much trust it takes to hand over your keys and your pet. I treat every home and every animal like it’s my own. My schedule varies day to day, so before I confirm any booking, I check my calendar to make sure I can fully commit — once I say yes, you can count on me. I’m generally available for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting throughout the week, and I’ll always give you a clear answer up front about what I can take on. When I care for pets in your home, I follow your instructions closely: feeding schedules, medication routines, favorite toys, and any house rules you have. I’m experienced with medication administration, including insulin injections and subcutaneous fluids for pets with medical needs, so I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions for seniors or pets with health conditions. I treat your home with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. As a homeowner with three kids myself, I understand the trust it takes to let someone into your space, and I take that seriously
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Applewood
We love Stephanie!!…she makes it easy for us to go out of town. I ask if she is available and she answers yes. I make sure my cats food, treat and toys are available, o g ok out of town confident knowing she is on the job taking care of my sweet cats. She is A++.
I had a great experience with Mark ! My dog can be a little sleepy during the day due to her medication, but she seemed very comfortable and well cared for. I appreciated the updates and attention she received. It was clear she was relaxed and in good hands. Communication was excellent, and I felt confident knowing she was being looked after with kindness and patience. I would definitely book again and highly recommend Mark's services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of my little Lulu ! 🐾

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.
