“Maria did a great job taking care of my cat. This was my first experience with her petting-sitting service but definitely won't be my last! She was consistent with her visit time, sent regular updates and even vacuumed the floor in the bedroom to clean up the litter! I so appreciated her attention to the details.”
About: I got my first puppy when I was 14 and and I’ve taken great care of him and my other pets since then! I’ve grown up with animals my whole life and I know how to take care of them. I will walk, clean, or spend time with your dog anytime you’d like! I’m always available to spend time with doggies and I’m mainly available in the mornings/afternoon but sometimes can fit in a night visit as well. I make sure to leave the clients home in as good condition as I found it. I try to not make any messes and entertain the dogs
“Bonnie was wonderful! She was incredibly consistent with her visits, and played and loved our puppies like they were her own! she sent us great pics to let us see our girls, as we missed them so much🌴. she also went above and beyond to bring in the mail each day. Bonnie will be our “go to” sitter from now on!”
“Kristi was really great! It was our first time using rover so we were alittle nervous. However,She was great at giving updates and sent pictures everyday 10/10 :)”
About: I am a Registered Veterinary Technician and long time dog sitter for family and friends. I love meeting new pets and giving them lots of scratches! I’m a Veterinary Technician and I work at a pretty flexible job where I work 4 days a week and get two hour lunch breaks. Having the extra time over lunch allows me to check on pets mid day and do walks/meds/lunch feedings etc. I usually do care in clients homes rather than my own. However, watching pets in my home can be worked as long as they get along with other dogs and cats. I have two very dog friendly dogs and a couple very happy and cuddly cats!
“Great communication and easy to talk through options with. Super flexible too — when we had a last-minute change in plans, she happily accommodated us and our dog. Our pup genuinely looks forward to her visits. Highly recommend!”
“Mackenzie was fabulous! Manny was well cared for and happy. I truly appreciate Mackenzie’s attention to detail with Manny’s senior care. I truly appreciated all the pictures and updates! Highly recommend!”
“Janel always does exactly what is needed. I have piece of mind at every drop in and overnight stay knowing that Oliver is well taken care of. She is always my first choice for a sitter!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs over the years. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and excited to give your pets the same love and attention I’d want for my own! I have a flexible schedule and will care for your pets anytime during the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care when you need it! I provide reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats and will tailor my visits or walks to each pet’s routine. Whether your pup needs exercise and playtime or your cat needs some extra company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, treats, medications, and potty breaks. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands!
About: I've been a dog owner for many years and love animals of all kinds. I have two dogs of my own who are my babies. I'm happy to help with walks, feeding, play time etc. I work in childcare and am looking to fill in some days off. Animals are my favorite so I thought this would be a great fit! I will only be caring for pets in your home and am happy to follow all instructions to keep your animals happy and safe at all times.
About: Hi! My name is Lucy, and I'm a current veterinary student at the University of Illinois. I have previously pet sat for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes and would love to care for your pet while you are away. I originally started pet sitting in high school (about 6 years ago) to gain animal care experience. Since then, I have worked at kennels and vet clinics and am learning new skills every day at school! I'm hoping to pet sit while I'm home during school breaks, so I am pretty flexible when it comes to my availability. I'll do my best to accommodate you and your pet's needs! Because of my family dog at home, I am currently only offering drop in visits, walks, care, etc. at your home. This is to guarantee the health and safety of all animals involved. While pet sitting, I love to keep you updated with photos and notes! If I notice anything at all, I will reach out to you so you can stay informed and make the best decision on how you would like me to proceed with the care of your pet.
About: I am an animal lover! I have a dog named piper she's a small little angel and my life hasn't been the same since I've had her. I want people to feel comfortable leaving their furry bundles of love with someone who can love and protect them! I take the dogs I am watching to the dog park at my apartment where they can run and play. Also, if interested I can bathe your dog before he or she comes home. Your dog will have a blast with many toys and walks and naps on the couch! I am a currently not working so I’ll be at home all day with my fur babies and hopefully yours. I have a very flexible schedule I always keep the dogs I am watching on a leash unless it is a fenced backyard. I’m always paying attention and capturing cute moments.
About: I’ve grown up around many animals (cats, dogs, bunnies, fish, hamsters, etc) and have gained much experience throughout the years. I am comfortable walking, feeding, playing and keeping your pet happy and safe while you’re away. I understand every pet is different so I am here to follow your instructions to give your pet the same love I give my own. I have a very flexible schedule at the moment. During the week I am able to come between the hours of 8:30am to 6:00pm. On the weekend I’m available between the hours of 11:00am to 4:00pm. I am happy to work with your pets routine and discuss specific scheduling needs in advance. When caring for your pet inside your home I will make sure to follow their normal routine and give them plenty of attention, affection, and playtime.

I’ll also treat your home with respect and keep you updated on your pets with messages and photos so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is safe and well cared for.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Arnold
Angela was probably the best decision we ever made to take care of our brand new puppies who had never been separated from us before and we’re both still under 20 weeks. They loved her right away and they were super receptive to her from the start. She was able to help us take care of them when one was sick while we were gone, and she kept us up-to-date every moment of the day and went above and beyond more than we can even say for our pups and our home while we were gone. We will absolutely use her again when we go on our next trip. 10 million stars because I’m only allowed giving five above!

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.
