“A huge thank you to Gina for taking such wonderful care of Auggie and Lucky! It means so much to know they were not only well cared for but also loved as if they were her own. Her kindness, attention to detail, and genuine care made all the difference. We truly appreciate her and wouldn’t hesitate to trust her again!”
“Abby is reliable, flexible, and someone I know I can count on to take great care of my cat. She was very accommodating with changing schedules and last-minute changes, which made things so much easier. She also goes above and beyond to keep me informed about how my cat is doing and treats him with so much care and attention. I always feel confident knowing he’s in good hands with her!”
About: As a cat mom of 3, I love all furry faces as my own! I don’t mind playing, walking, feeding or just offering companionship. I work as a teacher in the day! My availability would be evenings during the work week. Otherwise, I’d love to stop by on weekends or plan ahead to offer care during holiday breaks. I fully believe in following the owner’s requests and routine for their animals. I will make my care a priority during visits and be sure to reach out if anything happens or if I need clarification.
“Heidi was super helpful, she was available with fairly short notice to come check in on my crew while I was out for the day. She did all I asked and was great with my dogs. I look forward to using her again.”
“Kerry is awesome!!! You can tell she truly cares about animals and helping owners feel comfortable leaving their pets in her care. We are so happy we found someone experienced in our area!”
About: I've taken care of dogs and cats since I was a kid. I love dogs and cats of all kinds, breeds, and sizes. Neighbors, family, friends, and colleagues have trusted me to watch, feed, walk, and play with their furry family. I currently own two cats and have in the past owned small and medium-sized dogs. I have experience caring for senior and special needs fur babies. I am currently available from 10am-6pm Monday-Friday with negotiable availability on weekends. I recently graduated with my Master of Social Work and am looking to make supplemental income while searching for a full time job, however, I am looking to create and sustain lasting pet care relationships. I follow the rules of the person hiring me and ask questions when and if they come up. I appreciate heads up about any behaviors and temperaments of furry companions that I should be aware of.
“i loved the pictures that emily left of mocha while she visited her and the update on how she was! when i got back after she had visited, mocha was definitely annoyed with me but not panicked or upset. would definitely book with emily again! she took good care of my girl.”
“I was really pleased with Jasmine. She was very thorough and kept me updated with great notes and photos while I was gone. I felt comfortable with her as soon as I met her and will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: I have been working with dogs for 10 plus years. I worked for several years at an Animal Shelter, at a vet office, and have fostered many dogs and cats. If your pet has special needs, I am able to accommodate that as well, as I have personal experience providing medications and working with special needs pups. If you have any questions at all, please don't hesitate to let me know! I work Monday through Friday until 3:30PM. I am available for drop in visits on those days after 6PM, and all day on the weekends for drop ins and walks. Every pet and pet parent have different expectations and needs. Tell me what you need, and we will make sure your pet is getting the best care possible.
About: Hi there! My name is Andrea, AJ for short, she /her and my background includes working as a zookeeper and at a wild animal sanctuary. I've worked and have taken care of all types of animals including dogs, cats, birds, small animals, fish, reptiles, amphibians and many more. I also have veterinary experience. I have a rescue pup at home named Nova. She loves to play with other dogs! With my vast experience in animal care coupled with my passion for animals I know I would be a great fit to take care of your pets when you are unable to do so! I love all animals and always give every animal the best care possible. I truly am an animal care professional and would love to meet your furbabies! I currently do seasonal work where I do wildlife surveys for owls.🦉 I bring my dog with me to work and I take her with me pretty much everywhere I go. During the off-season of my job is when I have the most time for petsitting. Since my seasonal job is only half the year, I dedicate my time to helping others with pet care the other half. For active dogs I will take them out on an adventure each day. I am a daily hiker and hitting the trail with canine friends is one my favorite past times. I am very attentive to each individual animal and their needs.
About: We are a military family who had to leave their animals behind during the last move. We are hoping to warm up our days by taking care of others furry friends. We are an active family that live right by Medal of Honor park. We have a large home and fenced in back yard, lots of room for playing or relaxing by the pool. We are a loving family family with two little ones (3 and 5). My husband and I both work during the week, but we work opposite schedules so there is always someone home. We are animal lovers who are free to take care of your furry friend when it’s convenient for you. We have a large fenced in backyard with a pool and a large house, both with a lot of space for activities. If crate was provided we have the space for that. We are right by Medal of Honor park so we are easily able to go on walks and visit the park.
“Alicia is fantastic! Our full size active doggie had a great time with Alicia, and she warmly helped our cat out too. She's a real pro with animals, and helped us exactly during the time slot we needed to get our dog out on the beach for a long romp and great time. Her communication is excellent, and she went above and beyond on a number of little items to keep our pets fed, exercised and happy. Alicia is very nice and personable too. We are so happy to find Alicia as we can leave town happily knowing our pets are in awesome hands with her.”
About: Ive grown up constantly having dogs around me. I’ve taken care of all different kinds of breeds so I’m comfortable with all sizes and most temperaments! My schedule is pretty open. I work later in the day so I’m available 10:00am-1:30pm Thurs-sun and Mon-Wednesday are all available! Having my own dog, I understand how important it is that they are comfortable and taken care of! I have a chihuahua with a very impatient bladder and I’m very blessed to live so close to work so I walk home every two hours to let him outside. We go for walks on the beach, hang out in our fenced back yard, or snuggle on the couch:)

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.

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 use the 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.
