“Savannah gave our two beagles great attention during her visit, getting them outside then giving both treats and lovies. She took extra care to ensure our finicky senior finished the rest of her breakfast and brought in a delivered package. I feel that Savannah really cares for the pets and their happiness.”
“Kyleigh was wonderful with our two pups over Thanksgiving. She was very communicative, reliable, on time and did exactly what we asked her to do. She took great care of our dogs and gave them some love and they really responded to her, which is not always the case for our little one. We absolutely recommend her, she is trust worthy, sends lots of pics and updates and makes traveling without the pups a much less stressful experience. 5 stars, we are very pleased and will hire her again!”
“Michelle was great! Came twice a day to feed & change litter boxes for my 2 “kids”…and she didn’t even get to see the “ghost” shy boys…. Would use again & recommend!”
“Ashley went above and beyond for my cats! I am so grateful for the care and attention to detail that she showed while visiting them. She was very communicative and put my mind at ease while I was away, sharing detailed status updates and photos from her visits. I knew my cats were in the hands of someone kind and responsible… that’s all I could have asked for!”
“Jessica was great with our two large dogs. She was on time and provided detailed information about the visits. We will definitely use her again in the future. Thanks again jessica.”
“Diana did a great job with my puppy! I’m so thankful to have found her when I did to care for my puppy while I was on a work trip. Highly recommend booking if you’re looking for a sitter that’s responsive and communicative!”
“We’ve had the pleasure of having Jean for drop in visits with our chihuahua for the past few months. So happy to have found her. These little dogs aren’t that easy but we feel very assured he is in good hands. Jean helps me navigate the rover app, is reliable and gets back to me promptly.”
“I couldn’t be more thrilled with the care Danielle provided for my 14-year-old cat, Emerson, over the New Year holiday. From the moment I met her, it was clear she’s kind, responsible, and truly loves animals. Emerson, who can be a bit shy with new people, warmed up to Danielle right away, and I knew she was in great hands. Danielle kept me updated with sweet photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away. I could tell Emerson was well-cared for, and I’ll absolutely be booking Danielle again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life. Growing up we always had a dog and I learned a lot about dog care from this experience. Now as an adult I take every opportunity to help out with my friends dogs and to even just meet strangers dogs. I studied wildlife conservation in college and I hope to soon have a career working with wildlife. While this is my passion and I have a very strong love of domesticated animals and I am simply biding my time until I can have a dog of my own. I am responsible, detail oriented, and I follow instructions well. I baby sat for many years and this also often included pet care. I consider my own pets my children and I would carry this mentality with my into dog sitting. I am friendly and energetic and I do not mind spending the day alone with only dogs for company. I am a dedicated and hard working employee and I can provide a list of references upon request. I also love cats and would be more than willing to watch/care for other pets in addition to dogs.
“I was in a bind and needed someone to watch my dogs on short notice of about 2 weeks it wasn't sure if I can find anybody. I was looking on Rover and came across Jennifer and all I can say is that my two pups Cosmo and Ginny absolutely loved her! Due to an illness though I had to cut her watching my dog short. She was helpful and took care of everything. I would highly recommend her to anyone and I am planning more trips in the future, so I know who I will be calling. Thank you again for all your help.”
“She followed directions and took excellent care of our two pups and baby bunnies. This is our 3rd family vacation using Zoe and she is always wonderful. Thank you Zoe for putting our mind at ease hundreds of miles away from our fur babies!”
“Zach is awesome! He's been dropping in on my dog Alf for months now, making me feel at ease while I'm at work. He is quick to respond to any questions and always keeps me updated throughout the evening. I couldn't recommend him more!”
“She’s incredible! So happy we reached out! Today was our first time leaving our pup alone all day & Renee sent pics and thorough updates. I wish Sasha could talk to tell me about her play dates like one of my kids would!”
“Liz is so great! She helped care for my dog Sassy while we were away for a weekend. She gave updates and sent cute photos. It gives me so much peace of mind to know Sassy is in good hands. 10/10.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years and have owned cats, parrots, and reptiles throughout that time. I currently have four cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with different personalities, routines, and the importance of making pets feel safe and comfortable in their own space. While I haven’t had a dog of my own, I’ve been lucky enough to be an honorary “Auntie” to a handful of very special dogs belonging to friends and family. I have plenty of experience spending time with dogs, walking them, caring for them, and—most importantly—spoiling them with lots of love and attention. For years, I traveled frequently for work, which always made me hesitant to get a dog of my own. I knew I’d feel guilty having to constantly arrange care while I was away. Now that my career has calmed down and I’m home much more often, I’d love the opportunity to meet some sweet pups, get to know their individual personalities, and have a few honorary nieces and nephews to dote on! I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you genuinely trust caring for your pets while you’re away. I’ll treat yours with the same patience, attention, and affection I’d want someone to give my own. **Daytime Availability:** Monday through Thursday **Overnight Availability:** Any night except Saturday nights Saturday night stays may be possible with advance notice, depending on my availability I prefer to provide overnight care in your pet’s home. I believe pets are generally happiest and most comfortable staying in their own familiar environment, surrounded by their usual routines, smells, and belongings. Since I have four cats of my own, overnight sitting at your home is also the best fit for me. My cats are friendly with dogs, but they are not comfortable with other cats, and I want to preserve the balance of our established little pack. I own a two story home with plenty of rooms and a fully enclosed patio, which my pets love. However, because of my cats’ needs, I’m generally unable to host other cats in my home. I’m happy to discuss care for dogs and other pets on a case by case basis, with safety, comfort, and individual needs as the top priorities. I take trust and safety seriously and will care for your pets and home with patience, respect, and attention to detail.

Kayla was absolutely amazing while I was away in Italy and the Canary Islands. Leaving my cat, Bleu, for such an extended trip was stressful, but Kayla made it so much easier. She took wonderful care of Bleu, kept me updated with photos and messages, and it was obvious how much she genuinely cared about him. When I came home, Bleu was happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was in such capable and caring hands while I was halfway around the world. I wholeheartedly recommend Kayla to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive pet sitter. Bleu and I are so grateful for everything she did, and I wouldn't hesitate to book her again. Bleu: "Five stars. Please have Kayla come back." 🐈💙
Phoebe was amazing. This was our first time using Rover and I am so fortunate to have found Phoebe. Our cats are like our children and she took such fantastic care of them. Her communication was incredible. We felt so comfortable having her check on our kitties and care for them. Would have her watch our cats again in a heartbeat. Thank you Phoebe!
Sara, did an outstanding job watching our girl Donut! she was extremely professional and caring of our girl. She provided updates and pictures, as well as questions as they arose. Donut took to her, and it made us feel at ease to leave for our business trip. My wife and I were very pleased and would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone! Thank you Sara for a job weel done!

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.
