“Great communication! Saved my little guy from being locked in a cage all day. Hurriedly accepted a last minute booking. Extremely prompt. Happy to have been able to get her assistance.”
“Alexandra was reliable and took great care in making sure the cats were taken care of as we discussed. She cleaned everything up nicely very communicative and again in a heartbeat! Thank you!”
“Ace is an incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and caring sitter. We booked her to care for our two older cats and she was so communicative and kind to the little guys. One of our cats needs a subcutaneous injection daily, and she did a wonderful job delivering it - even when he was being difficult. I couldn’t recommend Ace enough, and am definitely going to book her again in the future.”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter on Rover so we were a little nervous about it going in, but Jess was fantastic! She took amazing care of our pets while we were gone, kept great communication with us, sent us good pictures of the pets that my kids loved to see. She was attentive to detail in any changes that she noticed on our pets while we were away, she followed all instructions for feeds and care. Jess is awesome. We would love to have her care for our pets again in the future.”
“Kylie is simply amazing. She was quick to respond and willing to help me when my usual dog sitter canceled last minute. We have an outdoor camera at my house and when I looked in, I saw her playing with my dogs in the yard the entire time she was there. It lifted a huge weight off my shoulders having her there. I appreciate her so much and definitely recommend her!”
“Kira was a star sitter! All 3 visits were accomplished on time and above and beyond our standards! Her picture updates kept our mind at ease that our babies were in good hands! Handled the puppies mess with quickness and professionalism, again above our expectations! She was on time, attentive, trustworthy, and honest! Very knowledgeable on all types and walks of pups! We cant wait to book her again! 10/10”
About: I grew up with cats, dogs, turtles and fish. I would dogsit for my neighbor from a young age, this included when they got old and had special food needs and the need for frequent bathroom visits, which I also cleaned up when needed. With my own dogs, I grew up caring for them and taking them for walks throughout the day. I enjoy playing with both cats and dogs, and getting the extra exercise! I am mainly interested in providing boarding and walks. I work full-time during the week but in the evenings and on weekends, I have the ability to provide plenty of attention, frequent walks and feed on a timely basis. I have a fenced yard with space for them to roam or run, crate and toys available for your pets. Smoke free home. Safe neighborhood. Close to parks and walkable areas.
“Breighanna is very thorough & keeps in good contact which we loved-it's great to get updates on your cats while you're away. Our cats required meds in the a.m. & p.m. and she handled it seamlessly! She really went above & beyond by taking time to play and making sure each cat was engaged! Would recommend her to anyone booking, this is someone with a true passion for detail and care with animals!”
About: I am an elementary physical education teacher who plays a lot of sports and loves to hang out with friends and family. I love playing and taking care of dogs. When I was younger I first started to dog sit for a few friends when they go out of town for the week/weekend, but now I enjoy giving all of my free time an attention to dogs. I love to run with dogs and play with them in the yard or at parks and see the smile on their face when they are playing with their toys! I am flexible with cancellations and any specific requests you have. Reach out if you have any questions! I would love to give your dog a mini vacation!!!! I am a very active person who likes to keep busy. I work during the week and are free in the early morning and afternoon. I am comfortable in new settings and can keep routines and rules that are had in the house. I can slowly build trust with the dog and have them find their comfort with me!
About: I have been walking and caring for my own personal animals - 2 dogs, cat, bird, hamsters since I was 5 years old. I also have been dog sitting and walking for numerous neighbors and friends in the area. I work during the day a full-time job. I am available early in the morning and after 4:00pm during the week. I am available on the weekends anytime of the day. I have a fenced in backyard that my 4 year old Brittany Spaniel, Maggie loves to run around and play ball. It is completely fenced in so she can't get out. I love to be outside playing with my dog and bring her on 3+ walks a day around town and at the local park.
“Lunah is fantastic! She is punctual, polite, and super loving with our dog Zeus. She went above and beyond to make sure he didn’t have ticks on him from playing in the backyard. We will definitely ask her to watch Zeus again and highly recommend her!”
“Alissa has now had a few drop in visits for my two poodles. Everything has been great with her service. She has been friendly with prompt communication and detailed reports. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her for your pet sitting needs!”
About: As a dedicated dog sitter with over 6 years of experience, I pride myself on offering personalized and attentive care that goes above and beyond the standard. My passion for animals and commitment to their well-being is evident in every aspect of my service. Pet care isn’t just a job for me; it’s an integral part of my daily routine and a true passion. Despite working from 6 AM to 3 PM, I have seamlessly integrated pet care into my schedule, ensuring each furry client receives the attention and love they deserve. My day starts early, and before I begin my workday, I make time for morning walks, ensuring each dog gets the exercise and stimulation they need to start their day off right. During my work hours, I ensure that any pet in my care is comfortable and attended to, with regular breaks to provide quick check-ins, snacks, and affection. Once my workday ends at 3 PM, I dedicate the rest of my afternoon and evening to pet care. This includes longer walks, play sessions, and any specialized attention a pet might need. Whether it’s a game of fetch, a grooming session, or some cuddle time, I ensure each pet feels happy and engaged. Balancing pet care with my work schedule has taught me the importance of organization, reliability, and, most importantly, the joy that comes from spending time with animals. My dedication to this routine ensures that every pet in my care feels loved, secure, and well-taken care of, no matter the time of day. Each walk is personalized, taking into account the dog’s temperament, energy level, and specific requirements. I prioritize safety and enjoyment, ensuring that each walk is a positive and enriching experience for your furry friend.
About: I have loved and cared for dogs and cats my entire life, and I’m especially drawn to shy, timid, or nervous pets who may need extra patience. I have a calm, non-intimidating approach and enjoy earning an animal’s trust through kindness, affection, and consistency. I’m comfortable walking, bathing, brushing and grooming pets, and animals in my care are treated like family and welcome throughout my home. I’m also very comfortable with senior pets and understand that they may need a slower pace, extra attention, and lots of reassurance. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, and caring for animals is something I truly enjoy. I love spending time with them, whether we’re walking, playing, relaxing together, or just keeping each other company. I’m happy to give each pet the time and attention they need and will follow their normal routine as closely as possible. I can he as active as you want me to be, including hiking, going to parks, anywhere you like! I can also stay at home if your dog has low energy or special needs. Pets are welcome throughout my home and are treated like part of the family. I especially enjoy caring for shy, timid, or nervous pets who may need extra patience. I have a calm, non-intimidating approach and give them the time and space they need to feel safe and learn to trust me. I’m comfortable walking dogs and helping with bathing and basic grooming, and I always follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, exercise, medications, routines, and house rules. I do have a fenced yard and would never leave them alone.
“Kaylee has just finished a week of visits to take care of my two cats. This is her second stint for me. Very happy at the attention to detail. She even left food for the squirrels! (if I forget they find the bag themselves!) Thank you Kaylee above and beyond.”
About: I’m such a animal lover as I have animals myself! I enjoy spending time with my dog outside on walks and hikes and bringing her out to run around the yard! Most of my time spent is caring for animals as I help others out with their pets as well! I’m currently in school but I have a very open schedule! On weekends I’m available all day, and throughout the week I’m available early morning and late afternoon. I love spending time with my dog as well as meeting other animals and spending time with them as well. I will bring the animals on walks or even just to play around in the yard if asked for! I usually like to follow with what the owner asks of me for their animals walk.

Erin was absolutely amazing! She took such wonderful care of my cat, Tinky, and my elderly Chihuahua, Sasha, for five days while I was away in Puerto Rico. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such caring hands. She was incredibly kind, patient, and gentle with Sasha, making sure my senior pup was comfortable and well cared for. She also handled Tinky's persistent attempts to convince her to let him outside with so much patience and good humor! Eryn went above and beyond, and it was clear she genuinely cared about both of my pets. I came home to two happy, well-loved animals, and I couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. I highly recommend Eryn to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and reliable. Thank you so much, Eryn! We will hope to use her again and 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 .
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.
