“Wonderful experience! She was great to work with—always prompt with communication and reliable. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands while I was away.”
“Our cat ran out of the bushes to great us upon arriving home. He was sooooo happy. This is an indication of Christin giving him the care and love he is accustom to. Thank you”
About: I have walked and dog-sat for 7 years now with great reviews. Taken care of small 15 pound dogs to 80 pound dogs. Able to care with full attention and provide the best support. Flexible schedule, with willingness to negotiate certain times. Own 1 dog of my own, and have always had a dog in the house. I do not have any prejudice against specific dog breeds. Friendly personality, easy-going, and willing to match any dogs energy levels. Any restrictions, such as food or physical, are able to be accommodated and discussed. Possibility of last-minute scheduling, but be mindful of possible conflicts. I would need to know if the dog has any history of violence or biting, as that is a key factor for me to plan. I am a freelancer and have no major commitments that require my attention so I am able to fit pet sitting into my schedule very easily. I am able to do walks short or long, play dates, travel, medications, crating, dietary challenges, and most requirements that would come up for a pets needs.
“Sarah was a life saver. She came through for us for our family vacation. She was so good with my 2 girls. Now they have a new friend. Thanks for being so punctual and for spending time with my dogs. I will surely be using you again in the future!!”
“Thank you so much for your wonderful care of our cat, Georgie! Delainey did a wonderful job taking care of him while we were gone. She kept us up-to-date with photos and details, which make traveling much easier. Thanks again!”
About: I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been a big part of my life. I’m a VetBloom Certified Veterinary Assistant, one of the few NAAVTA-approved programs, and I spent the summer working at a small animal hospital. I have experience with all kinds of animals and I’m comfortable handling everything from everyday care to the occasional high-maintenance personality. I’m reliable, experienced, and genuinely enjoy being around animals.! 🐶 Schedule I currently work part time from home, which gives me plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I love taking breaks to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and companionship! Oops 😂 then definitely don’t claim that. We can make it about your approach to safety and caring for pets in their home, which is probably even better for Rover. 🐾 Schedule I currently work part time from home, so I have plenty of flexibility throughout the day. I love taking breaks to give your pup attention, playtime, walks, and plenty of companionship! 🏡 Safety, trust & environment I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re with me. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, house rules, and any special instructions you provide. Or, if you want it to sound more personal and less professional: Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities! I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and needs so they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away.
About: I am a very picky cat owner myself and know the standards of care that I expect from someone when I’m away, so I am always sure to deliver that same care for others. “Pets” are often our closest companions, and they deserve to be treated like family! I have always said “the only person I would really trust is myself” - so it felt right to offer my care as a service. I have grown up around animals my entire life and have a particular affection for cats. My cat, Maizy, is so so important to me. She has asthma and other medical conditions that make her care tricky, but I have become very experienced in dealing with medical issues in cats. I hope I can offer other companion-owners the peace and comfort they need when they have to leave behind their beloved animals. You deserve peace and high standards of care! Not just a drop-in, but a real connection with your animal(s). I do work full time but I’m available for limited lunch time drop ins and various evening appointments. I am off work on Fridays and can typically do anytime Fri/Sat/Sun I have extremely high standards and expectations of how someone treats my home and my cat, so you will get the same! I am very cat-aware, no runaway cats will escape me, doors locks always double checked, blankets folded just how they like to cozy up on, and food/water stored away nice and clean. Cleanliness and safety are very important to me. Also important is making sure your animal feels well loved while you’re away!
“We had an amazing experience with Darian! She did a phenomenal job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. We felt reassured from the moment we left knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond—keeping us updated with photos and messages, ensuring they stuck to their routines, and showing them so much love and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared for our pups, and we returned to find them happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”
About: Hello! I am 23 years old and when I was 15-17 I helped train dogs including a service dog. I love all dogs and will always love your dog as well! I am looking for any opportunities that involve dog walking or dog sitting! I do not have my own dog but would love to have a golden retriever later in life! I am currently available all throughout June and July. August 3rd I will be unavailable because I start a nanny job that will be full time. I am just looking for specifically summer hours in June and July. I will help feed, get into crate, or “space”, if needed train, and go for walks with the dog. I will help in anyway I can.
“Megan was an amazing dog sitter! I would 100% recommend her and will be using her again in the future. She kept me well informed and took excellent care of my very old dog and 2 cats. She came through for us on very short notice and saved the day. Thank you Megan!!”
“I had an absolutely wonderful experience with Elyssa. I was nervous because a previous sitter experience, but Elyssa helped my anxiety and took perfect care of my two cats. One of my cats has allergies, asthma, and takes meds and Elyssa handled all without any issues. My boy was hive-free when we returned home after a week. The daily pics of playtime and cuddles were so wonderful to receive.”
About: I have had dogs all my life and have always had the responsibilities to look after them. I have been around bigger dogs as well as smaller dogs and very familiar with senior care. I work full time but with a flexible schedule and a husband who works odd hours so I can be very flexible with times and dates! I am willing to travel within reasonable distance to look after your animals with reasonable notice. I do understand last minute things can happen as well.
“Sherry was amazing! We decided to go on a last minute trip and she met with us the night before we left. She was so nice and a joy to be around so we knew Charlie would love her! This was our first time leaving him but we were reassured by her personality. She did everything we wanted and more. We can't thank her enough and we highly recommend her! We will definitely use her services in the future!”

“Nikita showed his skills as a dog handler from literally the moment he walked in, greeting the shy dog so skillfully that she happily went right up to him to say hi. He was great with rambunctious Duncan and my very energetic young puppy Holly, managing to keep them playing safely together until they were tired enough to give me a few hours of peace before they recharge their energy. I'll definitely book Nikita 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.
