She sent adorable pictures of him enjoying her visit both inside and outside and kept in contact with me for any questions she that came up. I would highly recommend her!”

“Whitney saved the day! We forgot to schedule our cat sitting until the last minute and Whitney was so flexible. We’ve worked with her before so we knew our cats would be in good hands, but we really appreciated her flexibility and quick response when we booked. As usual, she gave use lots of photos and details in her daily reports. We love having her as a cat sitter and will book with her again in the future.”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes. I’ve worked with puppies, special needs, and senior dogs. I would love to meet your pet! I’m currently doing some part time internship work during the week. But my schedule is flexible especially on Tuesday and Thursday. My weekends are free. I love spending time with animals. I am able to bathe, walk, crate, feed, and give medications. I would love to come meet your pets!

About: We have had pets in my family my entire life.. Started off with a cat, then two. My older sister begged for a dog and we finally got one. Now my parents have two dogs, and one cat. We've had birds, fish, guinea pigs, frogs, and a bearded dragon... I recently moved out of my parents house and am craving the love from pets. I used to help my aunt care for her cats when she got older. I would pet sit for friends and neighbors growing up and Rover is allowing me to get back into that. I take myself for walks because I'm not good at sitting still and they would be much more enjoyable with a pal! I am working remotely and part time. I am a social worker so I meet with clients via tele-health. I do have a set schedule, but it allows for flexibility and I am not currently accepting new clients so this won't change much. I am renting a house so cannot accept pets into it- as the home owners trusting me with their indoor and outdoor cats. I have always been very careful in other people's homes- trying not to leave a trace- unless it is a note about how things went!

“Great sitter! My dog is very timid and Daniel was very patient with her. He came for a drop in visit while I was at work for a longer shift. He took her outside, got her out of her cage after lots of prying, fed her, and kept her company! Will definitely be having him sit for her in the future (: thank you!”

About: Hi! 🐾❤️ Animals have always had a special place in my heart! I have over 9 years of experience caring for my own pets and 4 years of experience with Rover and fostering. From playful young ones to senior care who need a little extra patience and love, I’m comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, keeping them happy, and making sure they receive all the attention and affection they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’ll always do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your little one is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕 I am currently working full time Monday-Friday with fridays work from home and my hours are adjustable between 730-330 and will be available after 3 on week days and free all day Saturday and Sunday. I am also willing to accommodate if needed. I will do what I need to do to ensure yourself and your pet feel comfortable and do what your pet is used too in there routine and comfortable with.If this is a puppy I will help crate and potty train if needed. I do have experience with all sorts of dogs large or small. And cats as well!

About: As an RN (20+ years) and a Mom of 3 (ages 21, 11, and 8), I understand that pets are family members who deserve the utmost safety and care. With summer off from RN duties, I dedicate my time to making sure local pets stay happy, exercised, and loved. I’ve navigated the unique personalities of different breeds and temperaments, so I’m comfortable with everything from high-energy puppies to senior cats who just want a quiet nap. My partner may join for dog walking, and my 2 boys may join for doggy playtime if your pet would love the company! I can’t wait to meet your best friend! I have summers off from my RN role, with more time to dedicate to my family and pets. We love outdoor exercise, walks, and adventuring! I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood with woods behind our home, and are near some trails and parks. We have a large home for pets to play or rest inside. We have quiet space to crate pets as well.

“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”

Bri was amazing! She accepted check-ins on very short notice and even took the time to do a meet and greet with us beforehand. She was so sweet with Mila, followed all of my instructions, and was incredibly friendly and communicative throughout the whole process. I really appreciated her flexibility and how easy she made everything. I would absolutely recommend Bri and would happily book with her again!

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.
