“OMG Sarah is the best! She was wonderful at communicating with me and making sure my babies had everything they needed and I felt they were well looked after. She also sent pictures which I appreciated. I felt I could trust her with my babies and can't wait to book her again. I have a hard time trusting new people but I felt so comfortable with her. Thank you so much Sarah!”

About: Hello! I am a friendly dog loving sitter who has years of experience. I personally have two dogs and have done dog sitting for friends and family throughout the years. I’m respectful of owners rules and wishes also respectful of space. I’m currently a college student and have a lot of time to play, walk and give enough attention to a dog while sitting. I’m usually available when I don’t have class and have no other extracurriculars on. I’m pretty flexible! I make sure pets are comfortable in their own home but also follow owners instructions. If you need me to stick to crate training or medication schedule I will do so

About: Hi! I have been a Rover customer for years so I understand how nerve-wracking it could be to try to find a sitter for my dog. I have had amazing sitters and equally as bad ones. I have a small senior dog named Mickey. He is half miniature pinscher and half chihuahua. I love animals so much and I believe that pets are family. I treat my dog as if he is my baby and rest assured that I will treat your pet with the same amount of love and care. I live at home with my husband who is also a fantastic dad to my furbaby. We do not have kids currently. I have dog sat for my friends for years so I figured it is time to extend my services to others who need it as well. Your trust to watch your fur baby means a lot to me. Please let me know everything there is to know so I can provide the best care of your pet. I work from home so my schedule is quite flexible and I am home most of the time. Please communicate and let me know what your needs are and I will do my best to support them! I will care for your dog based on your specific instructions. Since I have a senior dog myself, I inject insulin for him twice a day and he is on a specific diet. I am no stranger to caring for special needs dogs and following instructions. I am also familiar with what to do in emergencies so please rest assured that your dog is in safe hands :)

About: I've been a dog owner my entire life. I love all animals and I am so happy to play and love your pet like it's my own! I’ve grown up with dogs ever since I can remember, my German shepherd mix as a child, 2 labradors and I had a wonderful sweet Shiba Inu named lady who passed a couple years ago from chronic kidney failure. So I have a range of caring for all ages of dogs. I have 10 years of experience with training and obedience. I'll make sure they get out their pent up energy and you will come home to a happy pup! I will pay close attention to your pet and make sure they are safe at all times. If they have special needs I am more than happy to take care of that as well. I'm enthusiastic and care very much for all animals. Thank you for the opportunity to take care of a part of your family! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop in visits, and quality time with your pets throughout the week. I’m especially available during weekday mornings and afternoons, and I can often accommodate evenings with advance notice. I enjoy staying active, so regular walks fit naturally into my routine, and I’m happy to work with pet parents who need dependable, recurring care. I always treat every pet like they’re my own and make their safety, comfort, and routine my priority. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, feeding instructions, medications, crate routine, and any house rules you have. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.

Ashley was prompt and posted pictures of Callie each and every visit. Was so nice to feel comfortable while I was away that she was well taken care of. Ashley was by far the best sitter I have ever had for Callie.”

About: I’ve cared for two huskies for several years, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs that need plenty of exercise and attention. I’m happy to take long walks, play with active dogs, and help them burn off energy while keeping them safe and happy. I understand the importance of sticking to feeding schedules, providing fresh water, and giving pets lots of care and affection. I’ll treat your pet like my own and make sure they’re well cared for while you’re away. I currently work full time but have every other Friday off. I am available weekdays after 5pm, every other Friday all day, and weekends all day. Your dog’s safety is my top priority on every walk. I’ll keep them securely leashed, stay alert around traffic, avoid unsafe situations, and follow any instructions you provide. Whether your dog enjoys a relaxing stroll or needs a long, energetic walk to burn off energy, I’ll make sure they get the exercise, attention, and care they deserve.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I grew up with chihuahuas who were low maintenance and one who was very high maintenance. I took care of my senior dog for 3 years until she passed. I have also pet sat friends dogs and cats over the years and loved every second of it! I would love to know how I can be of help for you and your pet! I have open availability right now. I do classes online and have no other job at the moment. I am a morning person so I can get up as early as you need me. I have 3 kittens who are all under the age of 6 months. They are okay with other cats but not dogs. They are all vaccinated and spayed/neutered. I have a balcony in my apartment where I can arrange space for your fur baby to have room to use the restroom, if not there are plenty of areas to take them in my complex. I have 2 litter boxes for your kitty to use the restroom and places they can spend that are away from the other cats if they don’t mesh well.

About: If you are looking for a safe, fun, and loving place for your dog to stay, look no further! I have always been passionate about animals and I have never lived without them. I currently have two dogs and a cat (all well trained). I have worked at animal shelters and have rescued, cared for, and adopted out upwards of 15 animals through my own home. When your dog stays with me, they will have a constant playmate through me, my husband and my other pets. We have a dog door with a fenced in backyard. We have toys and treats aplenty. I love to keep my families updated with pictures and videos of their animals having the time of their lives! Bring your fur baby over to play anytime! Most of my work happens at home and on my schedule. I regularly have foster animals so having extra pets in the home is already a part of my routine! We go on walks and play in the backyard! We have a dog door so there's always a bathroom for them if needed. However, we still walk however much you would like! Otherwise, they integrate into our lives as if they were our own.

About: Having experience with so many different dogs has taught me that every dog is different and has their own personality, energy level, and routine. I try to get to know each dog and understand what they’re comfortable with. When it comes to walking, I’m happy to adjust to their pace and needs. Some dogs love a long, active walk, while others enjoy a slower walk with plenty of time to sniff and explore. I’m patient, responsible, and always make safety a priority. I’m comfortable following specific instructions from owners and making sure their dog’s normal routine is kept as consistent as possible. I also pay attention to their behavior and will let the owner know if I notice anything unusual. I enjoy sending updates and photos during walks so owners know their dog is doing well. Most importantly, I genuinely love being around dogs and treat every dog like my own. I want each dog to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care, and I want their owners to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. As a sitter, I provide attentive care including feeding, walks, playtime, bathroom breaks, fresh water, treats, and companionship. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions for diets, medications, and daily routines, and I make sure each pet’s needs are followed carefully. I also pay close attention to their health, behavior, and safety, and will communicate with the owner if I notice anything unusual or concerning. I believe communication is an important part of being a great sitter, so I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos while you’re away. I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your dog is safe, happy, and being well cared for. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own. I take the time to learn what your pet likes, what they’re used to, and what makes them comfortable. Whether your dog is energetic and loves walks and playtime or prefers to relax and get lots of cuddles, I want them to feel loved, comfortable, and at home while they’re in my care. Building trust with both pets and their owners is very important to me, and I strive to be someone you can rely on. Hi! My name is Fayth 🐾 I love dogs because I truly believe they’re more than just pets—they’re our best friends and part of the family. I have two dogs of my own: a Havanese and a Malti-zu. Growing up, I was always around dogs, whether they belonged to my extended family or close friends. I’ve always loved playing with them, spending time with them, and taking care of them as if they were my own. I’m excited to provide dog walking and drop-in visits for your furry friends! Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a potty break, some playtime, fresh water, feeding, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to be there for them. During every visit, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, care, and love. I’ll also keep you updated so you know how your pup is doing while you’re away. My goal is to make every visit a positive experience for both you and your best friend. 🐶💛 I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾 For dog walking and drop-in visits, I’ll come to your home and follow your dog’s usual routine and any instructions you provide. I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they need, including walks, bathroom breaks, fresh water, meals, treats, and playtime. During walks, I’ll make sure your dog gets safe and appropriate exercise while paying attention to their behavior and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I’ll spend time with your dog so they have companionship and don’t feel alone while you’re away. I understand that every dog is different, so I’ll take the time to learn what makes your pup comfortable, especially if they’re shy or nervous around new people. I’ll also keep an eye out for anything unusual and let you know if I notice a concern. After each visit, I’ll make sure your dog is safe and comfortable and that I leave your home just as I found it. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can see how your pup is doing while you’re away. 🐾

About: I’ve been providing pet care services for nearly four years through Rover, originally under a different account. My love for animals goes back to childhood; I’ve been around and caring for pets since I was five years old. Over the years, I’ve gained extensive experience with puppies, senior dogs, and even pets with special needs such as blindness or deafness. Altogether, I’ve had the privilege of caring for well over 100 pets, and I approach each one with genuine attention, patience, and compassion. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine since I work from home. I typically only need to go into the office once a week, or sometimes every other week, which gives me the flexibility to be home and present with pets most of the day. This allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and consistency in their care, whether it’s walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s instructions. I make sure feeding schedules, exercise needs, medications (if any), and house rules are followed carefully so pets feel secure in their familiar space. I also provide updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and cared for.

About: I got my first dog at the age of 6 and have been in love with dogs ever since. Due to my obsession of dogs I'm vigilant of the things that differentiate the needs of all kinds of breeds. Show me a picture of your pup and I'll be able to identify the breed. I'm currently working part time and in the evenings which leaves me with tons of availability in the morning. Additionally I have open availability on Fridays and Sundays as well as evening availability on Mondays and Saturdays. I will always keep a careful eye on your pets to ensure they don't get into any sticky situations which includes the peanut butter jar

Sarah was AMAZING!! So communicative and eager to go above and beyond for my kitty. My cat doesn’t like new people and Sarah was extremely patient and understanding of her needs. She gave a play by play of what was going on, and offered to clean up the litter and hairball/vomit which happened while she was checking on my cat. Will absolutely book again, and I’d recommend Sarah to anyone needing a drop in sitter.

Lyndsay is so fantastic! She was able to stop in to check on my pets. My dog takes some time to warm up to people, and Lyndsay gave him the time and space he needed to get comfortable with her. She made sure he ate, got to go outside, and sent pictures and updates and followed his routine perfectly! My very shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello too - highly recommend and would absolutely have Lyndsay watch my pets again!

Chandler took excellent care of our senior cat Chonky. She was very attentive to Chonky's needs. She gave him amply play time, brushed him and pet him. She also took care of feeding, giving him water top ups, taking out the trash, cleaning the dishes and litter boxes. She also vacuumed the tracked litter off the floor.

My cats really warmed up to Ethan although they're typically very shy with strangers. The updates and photos were prompt and very thorough as well. Ethan also went above and beyond: my cats unfortunately threw up in three different places in the apartment and he unfortunately vomited in three different places in the apartment and he cleaned them up thoroughly, including the rug under the couch. I would definitely recommend Ethan as a pet sitter.

We had the best experience with Savannah! Our boys immediately adored her during our meet and greet. She’s experienced, attentive to detail, and communicative. One of our boys has a complicated medical routine and she was calm and cool as a cucumber when learning the routine and actually doing it. You could tell she truly cares for animals, especially *your* animal. We’re happy to have found Savannah as our boys’ new buddy!

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
