“100% recommend Dollie. She took great care of our two cats. I had never left the cats alone for a week so I was appreciative of the time she spent with them and the daily photos which were very reassuring. One cat hid during the meet and greet but he made an appearance during the first visit. Both cats warmed up to Dollie quickly.”

“Kelly did a fantastic job of taking care of my cats while we were away! She took great pictures of everything while she was visiting, contacted me right away when she had questions about some things, which I greatly appreciated, and even pulled packages and mail inside so it wouldn't pile up while we were away. She's super reliable, very friendly, and so easy to communicate with! Highly recommend!”

About: I have been pet sitting for 3 years and love all animals! I have a perfect setup for animal care, including a walking trail behind my house. I’m home during the week-I have 2 middle school aged boys that are in school and my husband works long hours. I am able to get up early for morning walks or feedings. I have a fenced in yard, with stairs leading to a deck, walk out basement with kitchenette for food storage, play area, and a resting bedroom.

About: All my life I’ve grown up around dogs, rabbits, fish, and most recently cats! So I’m no stranger to the cuddly, silly, and sometimes unpredictable behaviors pets can throw your way. I have experience volunteering at the Carroll County Humane Society working in the cat room to socialize kitties, and in the dog area providing them with enrichment activities! As a longtime pet lover and owner I understand that every animal is unique and has their own quirks and personalities, and I’m capable of learning your pet and giving them the best care I can! I always treat my clients homes and pets with care and respect. I’m sure to clean up after myself and the pets. I’m not just a pet sitter I’m also a house sitter so I’m willing to get the mail, take trash out, etc…

About: Not only have I been a pet owner for my whole life I have also been put in charge of taking care of family member's pets, former bosses pets, and friends pets. I have taken care of dogs, cats, lizards, and more. I can feed, walk, play, do some minor grooming(brushing and bathing) for your pets. I am a proud owner of a horse, dog, and 2 cats. I also work at a farm with dogs and bigger farm animals, my whole routine focuses around them and how well they are doing. I am used to walking dogs in many environments from fields to parks and even in the more bustling parts of town, I can crate them if needed and can adapt to any style of care you or your pet needs.

About: I’m a 32 year old who loves animals! I have owned and cared for dogs pretty much my entire life. (Mostly border collies). My wife, Bela, and I currently have two dogs of our own which you can see in our photos. I currently work from home and have a lot of flexibility to help care for your pups. I am willing to take your dogs for runs as well as walks if requested. Your dog will get all of the love, care and attention in the world. We just recently moved to the Westminster area. Any question? Shoot me a message! I’m currently working full time from home. I have a ton of flexibility in my schedule which allows me to care for your dogs during the day as well and the morning/evening/afternoon. My wife and I are always around on the weekend as we do not have kids. I am able to walk or run with your dogs depending on your preference. I will treat your pet as if they were my own and give them all of the love and attention they desire.

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, so I’ve always been around them and know how to care for them. I’m really good with dogs and genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m comfortable with dogs of all different sizes and personalities, and I treat every dog like they’re my own. I’m responsible, caring, and will make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, love, and exercise while they’re with me. I work full time Monday through Friday, but I’m fully available on the weekends. During the week, I’m available for drop-ins and walks in the mornings and later in the day after work. I’ll do my best to work around your schedule and make sure your pets get the care and attention they need. I want every pet in my care to feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I’ll always make sure they are supervised and treated with patience and respect. I understand that every dog and cat is different, so I’ll take the time to learn their routine, personality, and anything they need while they’re with me. I’ll also keep you updated so you can feel comfortable knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to provide a calm, safe, and welcoming environment where your pet can feel right at home.

This is the second time we have booked with Courtney, this time adding a very anxious but loving dog to the mix. Our boys were cared for and it was really nice to see our pup’s guardedness soften in each report picture. We highly recommend Courtney’s care if you are in the area!

Kelly did a great job, we have used her a couple of times now to check in on our two chocolate labs while we are away on vacation. She sends detailed descriptions, lots of pictures and always keeps us updated. She even replaced a ball for us that went over the fence. We highly recommend her and will definitely use her in the future!

Shaelin took wonderful care of our four cats, fish, and chickens while we were away for the weekend! She had great communication throughout our trip, sent lots of pictures and updates, and gave us complete peace of mind. It was clear from the photos that our cats were comfortable and happy with her. We came home to well-cared-for pets and couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would absolutely book Shaelin again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter!

OH MY GOSH!!! Even though I have extensive experience caring for animals, I have never hired anyone to take care of mine. I had a unique situation and was desperate for help. If I was not able to find care, my daughters and I would not have been able to attend my brother's wedding. I found Sam's profile pretty quickly and didn't need to look any further. I see why she has all 5 stars and numerous repeat clients. She was timely with communication, thorough, considerate, compassionate, on time, responsible, trustworthy, and reasonably priced. If I ever hire through Rover again, Sam will be the person all others will stack up against. My brother's wedding was wonderful, and Sam made our trip possible. THANK YOU, SAM!!!! :)

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 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.

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 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.
