“We were so lucky to find Caitlin to watch our kitties over the July 4th holiday weekend. She did an excellent job with feeding directions, sending photos & talking to our cats while we were away. We felt very confident & comfortable with Caitlin’s kitty care & highly recommend her. Thanks so much & will use again. Bob & Fran W.”
“Amanda was wonderful checking in on our boy. She took him on a walk, gave him lots of loves, and provided a sweet update and photo on her drop in. Looking forward to booking her again in the future!”
“Emily was absolutely wonderful with my dogs! She was attentive, caring, and clearly took the time to make sure they were happy and comfortable. It gave me such peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. She was communicative, dependable, and treated my dogs like they were her own. I came home to happy, well-loved pups, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I would absolutely recommend Emily and would be thrilled to have her care for my dogs again! 5 Start sitter ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Susan took wonderful care of our Belgian Malinois, Lucy, while we were away. Anyone familiar with the breed knows they require an experienced, attentive, and caring person, and Susan gave us complete confidence that Lucy was in good hands. She kept us updated, made sure Lucy was well cared for, and gave us real peace of mind throughout our trip. Knowing Lucy was safe and happy allowed us to relax and enjoy being away. We couldn’t be happier with the care Susan provided. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet. Thank you, Susan, for taking such great care of Lucy!”
“Maddy is a caring and attentive sitter. She proactively clarified instructions and followed them to the letter. She gave detailed updates from the visits and always added several photos of the cats playing, eating, hanging out, and being petted. She successfully administered meds to our two senior cats who can be wiggly and hide before dosing. I would definitely book Maddy again to drop in and care for our cats!”
“Julia was so awesome and flexible!! I had some concerns with booking a pet sitter at an apartment complex, but Julia made things go incredibly smooth! Will definitely be using her again.”
About: I’ve been around all sorts of furry friends, flighty friends, and the scaley ones ect. The love and passion I have has always set me aside from most and I’ve also gathered many different experiences in the animal care field. In my growing path, I’ve worked for the Lorain County Metroparks multiple times and have been volunteering with animals since the age of 16! Pet care fits great into my daily routine due to my part-time career currently and my passion for the animal care field!! I also have 5+ years of animal handling experience/ dieting❤️ I have a fenced in yard all around and also pay attention to daily behaviors and movements. Also prioritize outdoor time and play time as well.
“Susana was great! We have a very elderly dog with a lot of issues and Susana did not hesitate to accept the booking and did a great job. She communicated well and problem solved when our pup was having some issues. Thank you for caring for Mitsi!”
About: As an animal lover, I know pets are family—not just animals. I take pride in giving them the same love and attention they get at home. Whether it’s playtime, walks, feeding, or just extra cuddles, I’m here to make sure your pet feels happy and stress-free while you’re gone. As an elementary teacher, I have a structured schedule that actually works really well for pet care. I’m available before and after school, in the evenings, and on weekends. During breaks and summers, I have even more flexibility, allowing me to provide extended care, walks, and drop-in visits. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on making them feel loved, safe, and comfortable—whether that’s sticking to their usual routine, giving them extra playtime, or just spending quality time with them. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing.
About: My family has had multiple dogs at all times since I was a kid. I currently have a miniature schnauzer that is 1 1/2 years old. She loves going on walks and meeting other dogs!! I am currently working from home, I often take my moms dogs to the park and for walks with us so the more the merrier! dogs can have their run of the house and backyard, i live close to a park to take them to run around or just long walks if preferred
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life. I think they make a home a home. I’m waiting to retire before I find my next friend, so I can devote all my attention to yours! I’m comfortable with all aspects of dog care, including giving medication. I currently work full-time, at a location just three blocks from my home. I go home every day for lunch, and I’m off at 4:30. Plenty of time for walks and care in the morning, at lunch and all evening☺️ I have a fenced yard, food and water bowls and other supplies. I can crate your dog or gate it in an area to keep it secure and cozy. It can also find its own spot if that’s what makes your pup happy.
About: Hey there! I am an animal lover who has 10 years of experience raising and caring for my family's tiny furry best friend; Mia (Dachshund/Pomeranian). When we are together we love to take daily walks, run around the yard, play tug of war in the living room, and snuggle on the couch. I make sure she is fed, groomed, and, of course, gets her morning and evening treats. I live with my sisters cat in our apartment and am comfortable caring for your feline friends, as well. My friends and family have entrusted me to take care of their pets, large and small, over the years. Whether it's going for a long walk or spending quality time at home, I'm here to make sure your furry friend feels safe and loved while you're away. I am currently between jobs so I have a flexible schedule to work with. Aside from errands and remote tasks I have plenty of time to give to your furry friends. I am here to adapt to your pets routine and environment to keep things as comfortable and normal as their usual day to day as possible.
About: I have had dogs in my house my whole life, and for the past few years, I have been dog-sitting for numerous families for long periods of time. I am equipped to walk, let out, feed, administer medications, play, and take care of any other needs your dog may have. I work as a caregiver on Saturdays and Sundays for 6 hours each day, but otherwise, I can spend the rest of my time with your pup. I make it a priority to get any instructions my clients may have regarding their pup and make sure to follow them. I also make sure that I am always in earshot when in the home with the dog so that if anything happens, I can quickly act.
“Bailey is so sweet and I am so happy I found her. This was my first time using Bailey and she most definitely met my expectations. She came MUCH earlier than I would have expected for the AM feeding as I usually go to work very early and feed the pets very early and she was indeed VERY early for the AM feeding of the pets. THANK YOU Bailey! I highly recommend her to anybody that is seeking a very reliable/honest person that would be in contact with you if need be which is important to me. I look forward to using Bailey again and appreciate her taking care of my pets. Lastly, I think Rover can be deceiving in part as the name leans toward caring for dogs. Bailey was taking care of my cats and it was perfect.”
“Sabrina did an excellent job and kept me informed on her visits. Even sent me pictures. I definitely recommend her and will use her again. Rover is very professional . I highly recommend them.”
About: I have always had a dog growing up. I am now an owner of my own. My dog is very well trained, loved, and cared for. I am patient, kind, active, and an animal lover. I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to provide reliable weekday daytime care when many other pet parents are at work. I’d love to give your pup some extra attention, exercise, and companionship while you’re away! Mon-Fri: 6:30AM-2:30 PM Sat-Sun: 12:00PM-2:00PM Especially available for reoccurring weekday drop-ins and walks! I will make sure your pup gets the care and attention they need while you’re away. Depending on their routine, our visit can include a potty break, walk, playtime, cuddles, fresh food and water, and lots of attention. I’m happy to follow your instructions and keep normal routine as consistent as possible.

Heather was amazing! She sent photos of my baby girl daily during her visit or on their daily walks. Heather was always on time and stayed the entire 30 minutes. It was a relief finding someone like Heather to take care of my dog while I was away. I would definitely recommend heather for your dog sitting 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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
