“Mandi was the best! She took great care of my cats and was totally comfortable and willing to do insulin injections. She clearly cares a lot about animals and I felt very safe leaving mine with her!”
“Danielle was very attentive with my rabbit and provided excellent care. I was very pleased that she seemed respectful of my rabbit's territorial behaviors. She was reliable, thorough, and took the best pictures!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 15 years old. Over the years, multiple family members have trusted me to care for their dogs, which gave me the opportunity to learn how to work with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. In 2020, my mom and I welcomed our beautiful Goldendoodle into our family, and caring for her has brought me so much joy. I’ve also spent years helping care for my sister’s small Mini Poodle. I’m very comfortable with both high energy dogs and smaller, more laid-back pups. I understand that every dog is different and that some dogs need extra patience, attention, exercise, reassurance, and support. I’m comfortable keeping up with energetic dogs and making sure they receive the care, love, and attention they need. Most importantly, I believe patience is key. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. 🐾 I currently work full time, but pet care fits well into my routine. I’m primarily available Friday evenings and weekends, with occasional Thursday availability. Spending time with pups brings me joy and helps me recharge, and I take pride in getting to know each pet and their family. I’m very attentive to each pet and make sure their individual needs, routines, and comfort come first. I live in a spacious condo with an unfenced grassy area, and there are several parks close to my home, making it easy to get outside for walks, playtime, and fresh air. I’ll always provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment where your pup can feel relaxed, loved, and well cared for.
“Lauren and Ernest provided excellent care and love to our pets- we have a very temperamental cat who loves Lauren, an affectionate doggo who soaked up all the snuggles from Ernest and our lizard Rocky enjoyed a salad prepared by Lauren. The two of them have extensive pet experience and cared for our three pets like their own. Thank you!!”
About: I have experience with pets. I have been trained with basic canine through the international boarding and pet association. I have had my own pets and have trained them in general and basic pet knowledge. Teaching them to be caring and loving, and basic understanding of commands. Understanding the body language of the pet so that I know how to better care for them. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask questions upon meeting. I currently work part time at an animal shelter; I am mostly available any time of the week. I am pretty flexible and can work around your schedule and mine :) I come with great enthusiasm and is capable of appreciating and talking with your pet and having fun with them so that they feel loved
“Working with Cassandra was a great experience! She took some of the best photos of my cat I’ve ever seen and she was great with communication/updates. I would absolutely work with her again :)”
“Xiaotong was absolutely fantastic! She gave us lots of photos and updates and was great about giving meds to one of the cats that needed it. We would 100% use her again in the future :)”
“We appreciate Rose taking care of our cats while we were out of town. She was on time and made sure to lay eyes on each of them, even in their very difficult hiding spots, each visit.”
About: I have been walking dogs for several years now, and love running with dogs who need extra exercise! Love playing with and giving care to pups and cats at home also. Currently going to community college and hoping to spend time making sure animals are well taken care of in my free time! I’m currently going to school and have a lot of free time on Thursdays, Fridays, and weekends to spend time with pets! Other days I am able to stop by for shorter amounts of times but I am available most days for at least a short time. I will be able to watch your pets at your home according to their regular schedule so that they are not too thrown off by their owner being gone! Whatever your pets need to feel more normal and at ease during the time you are away, I am confident I can deliver.
“Isabel is amazing! I’m a repeat client and have booked her several times for drop-in visits. My dog absolutely loves her, and I always know he’s in great hands. She sends detailed updates and lots of pictures after every visit, which gives me great peace of mind. She’s reliable, caring, and I highly recommend her!”
“Marie took excellent care of our cats while we were away. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated throughout. It was clear our cats were happy and well cared for. We would gladly use her services again and highly recommend her to others.”
“Grace is amazing! She’s very kind, honest, hard working, on top of things and very trust worthy! She stayed all day for a few weeks with my girl because we couldn’t leave her alone. So grateful to her help! She’s a great pet sitter and an even greater person! :)”
“Lora is very patient with animals, thorough with directions, and easy to communicate with. We had never used a stranger as a sitter for our beloved animals before, and we found a keeper. Coming home to happy and healthy animals made our trip even better. She kept us in the loop while we were gone, and made sure to treat taking care of them seriously. Thank you Lora. We'll definitely recommend you and book with you for our future needs.”

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 .

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.
