“Dorothy did her usual fantastic job of taking care of our 14 year old "curmudgeon" cat! Dorothy has gotten him to accept her which is no small fete! She is the best!”
“Amanda was wonderful! We had a very short trip over thanksgiving and she stopped in multiple times to check on our babies and make sure they were well taken care of. She is well versed in caring for all animals with varying levels of needs. She had a very warm and welcoming disposition and our cats enjoyed her company. We will absolutely book her again in the future!”
“Elana is very professional and caring. We were very fortunate to have booked her last minute before a holiday weekend. She was promt with all her visits, sent us loads of pictures of her snuggling and playing with our babies each time, and we had no concerns they were in good hands. Elana kept great communication as well. We won't hesitate to ask her to sit for us again. Highly recommend!!”
“Carter did an AMAZING job watching Tocko on our mini vacation! He truly went above and beyond making sure we had peace of mind that our boy was well taken care of. He always sent pictures and made sure to include little details when writing us that made my wife the happiest! He should have more 5 star reviews and we will be more than happy to book with him again in the future!”
“Valerie is awesome, she’s very attentive and knowledgeable about dogs. Highly recommend her. She sent us pictures and even went so far as to observe their bowl movements to see how their health was while we were gone. I will be using her in the future whenever we travel!”
“DeAndre provides A+ service! Excellent communication, followed care instructions, provided updates and pictures, and I felt like my pet was safe and well cared for. I will definitely book services with him again, and recommend him to other pet owners.”
“Morgan did a fantastic job! Our puppy is a bit of a handful and she took the time to let her warm up to her by playing with her and giving her treats before taking both dogs for a walk so my husband and I could enjoy a night out. She was kind, considerate, and really put my mind at ease even though I was far from home. Thank you Morgan! ❤️”
“Our old cat is grumpy and doesn’t like strangers. He runs under the bed whenever someone even comes knocking. But he loved Samantha and obviously was comfortable with her. We even have photo proof! Our weekend at Atlanta was stressful, but not because we were worried about our old boy. I will absolutely be asking for repeat visits if he’s schedule permits!”
“Sally communicated very well throughout our time away from home. She made sure our kitten, Izzy was taken care of and even took the time to show her love and attention during her visit. We really appreciated the daily updates and pictures! I would recommend Sally to anyone who needs their fur baby taken care of!”
About: I adore all animals, but I especially love dogs! I have a 6-year old mini chipin back at home! My next door neighbors are professional trainers and boarders so I’ve had some good experiences. I’m a full time student at AU. I’m done every day by 2 p.m. I’m looking to decompress and take a brain break all while making furry friends happy with lots of love and walks! I live on campus, so services will always be at your home! I aim to maintain the routines set in place and keep your fur babies comfortable and happy!
About: - 15+ years experience with medium and large breed dogs and rabbits - doggy play dates at the canal or greenway - walk OR run! - will treat your pet like it’s my own - dog walks and check-ins any day of the week - boarding overnight and doggy daycare at my home any day of the week - message me for special requests and to see if we’re a good fit! Your dog will be comfortable in my home with the option to stay in or go outside in my long and flat fully fenced in backyard. My husky mix will need to get along with your pet, in addition to your dog being kid-friendly.
About: I love caring for my friends' pets when they're away for the weekend! I'm equally a dog and cat person and have experience looking after both. I'd love to give your pets the same care and attention while you're away! I have a really flexible schedule on the weekends, so I'm happy to work around your plans! I also enjoy getting some movement in the morning, so if your pup loves an early adventure, I'm more than happy to take them along. I can easily crate your animal if needed. I do not have a backyard area or balcony. Animals are free to roam around wherever they please.
“Lisa is awesome! The Shih’s love it when she comes for her visits and I can count on her to treat the babies as if they were her own babies! I highly recommend Lisa to ensure your babies are well taken care of! Thanks Lisa, the Shih’s love you!”
About: I've been around dogs of all shapes, sizes, and temperaments, pretty much my entire life. I can handle all aspects of a dog's care, from feeding and routine excercise to bonus hang out time or other extra special attention as needed. I've always felt a special connection with dogs, and they've always responded well to my calm, but firm energy. I will treat your dog with the utmost care, providing a sense of security and familiarity as we build a bond. I am currently proud parent to my 3 year "dog"ter, Eevee, who is a happy-go-lucky American Pit Bull Terrier with a heart of gold. Eevee and I, along with my wife, enjoy taking trips to go fishing, visiting the North Augusta Bark Park, and exploring Elijah Cove Dog Beach. We're excited to have your dog be a bonus member of our pack! I currently work part time, so I have plenty of time to accommodate your pets' schedules and needs. I'm happy to arrange "Doggie Day Out" for adventures/external stimulation (hello, naptime!) or simple potty breaks/mini hang outs - whatever works best for you! I have a fenced backyard, as well as the ability to separate dogs in my home, as needed. I do have one small/medium dog crate that can be used if needed/requested, though I prefer to have everyone together for maximum good times! My dog, Eevee, has a variety of toys and cozy blankets on hand that she is more than happy to share. I also offer a variety of dog treats should extra love be required: usually some form of organic cookies or fresh fruit (bananas, blueberries, and strawberries). Your dog will be in safe and happy hands.
About: I’ve taken care of my family’s cats and friends’ pups for years. I always offer plenty of snuggles, diligently take care of basic needs, and love to partake in house hangs or walks around the neighborhood! I’m currently in between finishing graduate school and my career in the medical field. I have much free time to care for and love on your fur babies! I greatly prioritize the safety of all precious animals! I always check for closed fences and safe streets before bringing a pup out to walk or play. I am highly aware of any open doors that could pose a risk to indoor kitties. Safety first!

He was great with Haymitch! Haymitch was happy and well cared for, and I felt really comfortable knowing he was in good hands. We loved getting pictures and a detailed review of the visit! Carter is professional and very attentive to or pup! Would definitely use him again!
Amanda accepted my last minute booking and was great!! She always sent daily pics of my babies and let me know if anything was off or wrong. She did great with my kitties…she even got my shy kitty to let her give him pets by the time she was done. Will definitely reach out to her again for future visits 💜

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 .

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.
