“Allie was wonderful!! She was able to check in on my cat, Tsarmina, over the weekend and I had a great experience working with her! She sent me detailed updates and lots of cute photos, and I had no doubts that my girl was in good hands while I was away. I'm looking forward to working with Allie again in the future!”

“Christy was absolutely amazing! We have 5 pets with wildly different feeding needs due to age, diet, and preference. Christy went above and beyond-ensuring that each member of our family was pampered in the exact way they have become accustomed. If I’m being honest, I think one kitty was a little sad at our return. We will definitely be booking in the future!!”

“Jerry’s care of our pets was outstanding as usual!! Upon returning home I was immediately pleased because all three cats we’re at the door as if they were waiting for him!! Everything was in order the place looked great and the pets were obviously well cared for by Jerry. The photos he sent us at each visit put a smile on our face and made us feel comfortable leaving him in charge of our four-legged family again this trip. Thank you so much Jerry!!”

About: I have taken care of and owned dogs and cats my whole life. I walk, feed, board, and care for my animals or when anyone else (family, friends, etc) need help.

It does vary by week but I'll make sure to keep it updated. I can do drop ins or walk your pup from your home. I am comfortable with all size of dogs. I currently own two dogs, no crated, and a large yard

She followed our instructions to a T - came in the right time window, made sure they were both OK, sending us pictures while we were gone, etc. She even managed to track down our elusive shy kitten for pictures.

About: Having owned pets since childhood, my journey of caring for animals has been lifelong. For the past five years, my focus had been on nurturing my special needs Corso, Bane, who bravely battled heart failure since he was 10 months old until his passing at the end of December. Presently, I'm cherishing the companionship of a sweet, socialized Corso puppy, Lilith, born in November 2024. My commitment to showering all animals with love and attention is unwavering. You can trust that your cherished pet will be in safe and loving hands with me. I am able to provide exceptional boarding services because I work part time at night but someone is ALWAYS home throughout the entire week in the house. Additionally, my location is ideal, situated next to a few dog parks as well as some beach locations, your pet will have access to ample outdoor space and constant companionship, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable stay. At my pet boarding facility, your furry companions' safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. Your fur babies have free range throughout the entire house. Regular outdoor excursions are part of our routine, as my dog and I frequently embark on walks to ensure plenty of exercise. Numerous walking trails, and an enclosed dog run within the near vicinity. Rest assured, your pets will be well-cared for, loved, and surrounded by a nurturing environment filled with space to roam and explore.

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a little kid. While I was in the Marine Corps I watched my superiors dogs and cat when they were away on leave. I have had dogs my whole life and I currently have two right now. They are both a year old and fully potty trained. I love taking my dogs outdoors to explore and I would do the same with yours. I am currently going to college but I only go twice a week so I have plenty of time for your pups and cats. I only go to school for about 2 hours a week, other than that k spend my time with my dogs and exploring outdoors. I live in a Apartment so I cannot watch dogs in my own home, but I can do drop-ins in your home, take your dogs one walks and little adventures if you allow. Definitely some pup cups every now and then!

About: Hi! My name is Taylor, and I’m a passionate animal lover with 5 years of hands-on pet care experience. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I currently have 3 dogs, 1 cat, and 5 chickens of my own! My experience goes far beyond caring for my own pets. I’ve worked at two dog daycares and as a groomer, where I gained experience caring for dogs with a wide variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I’ve cared for puppies, senior dogs, dogs with intense anxiety, and dogs who need a little extra patience, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. I’ve also administered medications and am comfortable following specific care instructions to make sure every pet gets exactly what they need. I have extensive experience with cats as well, including kittens, senior cats, cats requiring medication, and even feral cats. I’m FetchFind certified, which taught me a lot about animal behavior and communication, and I’m currently completing two animal behavior certifications through Washington State University, where I’m learning more about animal behavior, including both canine and feline behavior. I especially love working with animals who need a little extra love and understanding. Whether your pet is nervous, elderly, energetic, shy, independent, or simply takes some time to warm up, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the individualized care they deserve. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll treat your animals like they’re my own and make sure they receive plenty of attention, patience, enrichment, and care! 🐾❤️ I’ll be attending school part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule to dedicate time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work my school schedule around my pet-care bookings and make sure I have enough time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve. I’m looking forward to spending my free time with your babies, whether that means walks, playtime, cuddles, enrichment, or simply keeping them company! 🐾❤️ When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, enrichment, and any specific routines or preferences your pet has. I’ll give them plenty of attention and companionship while also respecting their space if they’re more independent or need time to warm up. I’m also very respectful of my clients’ homes. I’ll keep things clean and tidy, make sure doors and gates are secure, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. Since I’ll be attending school part-time, I’ll have plenty of flexibility to dedicate time to your pets and make sure they aren’t simply being checked on, but are receiving meaningful one-on-one care throughout my visits. 🐾❤️

About: I have always loved animals and dogs have a special place in my heart (I'm the girl that stops dead in her tracks to point out EVERY dog I see to whoever I am out with). My family had dogs and cats growing up, and I’ve always been the go to person for family and friends to help out with their babies. I'm a very active person, so your pup will get plenty of love and exercise while they are with me. I'm also very flexible so I am more than happy to satisfy any needs or special treatment! I’m currently a full-time student, taking classes online, so my schedule is extremely open! My days are very flexible and I am happy to make adjustments to fit the needs of my clients. I always follow any rules or requests you have when i am with your pet. You’ll get lots of pictures and i am always easy to reach for any questions

“Great sitters! Super responsive and communicative, warm, and friendly. As dog owners themselves, a lot of care needs come intuitively and naturally to them - which takes the pressure off to explain everything. They show up exactly on time, and provide fantastic photos and Rover card updates with fun details to know my pup is having a great day.”

I’m a busy beaver, but never too busy to give a little extra love! I have 4 cats and a dog. My cats all love to keep friends company. I have a fully fenced yard, a kennel outside and a crate inside just in case. Plenty of toys and activities to keep your friend occupied.

Samantha was courteous, polite and very consistent with daily updates on Rover without issue. Obie seemed to enjoy her visits and company as well!”

Russell was absolutely wonderful with our girl, Moose! From the beginning, we felt completely comfortable leaving her in his care. He was kind, attentive, dependable, and clearly has a love for dogs. Russell took Moose on walks and sent us photos and updates while we were away, which we really appreciated. Seeing her happy and comfortable gave us peace of mind and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worrying. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for Moose! We would absolutely trust Russell with her again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will genuinely care for their dog like their own.

Ross was an absolute Godsend!! He took such good care of my kitties, and they warmed up to him rather quickly, even my shy girl Rosie. He kept in touch promptly and made sure to leave detailed notes after each visit. He was extremely accommodating as well, as maintenance had to change my locks while I was away and I also had a package delivered early... I informed him of all of this and he graciously changed my keys on my key ring and made sure my package made it inside safely. He went above and beyond the call of duty and I felt my kitties were in great hands. I would 100% book with him again!

I booked Amber to watch my kitties over the Christmas holiday. I came home to my kitties healthy, and thus grateful for their care. We did have some communication issues (her phone didn’t have service/not on and a missed drop in which I had to reach out to her first (hours later) to understand what was going on). I do want to say that she did remedy the issue in the end. My only critique is that I would have wanted her to find a way to communicate with me first when things arise that affect my pets feeding schedule so I could find an alternative solution, that way she could focus on any personal emergencies that pop up. Overall Amber is nice and friendly and I know with more pet-sitting experience she will be a well-sought after Rover sitter.

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.
