“Thank you Courtney for helping us out last minute so we could enjoy some family time at great wolf lodge. I’m sure Beau loved the belly rubs, walks and treats. You were so trustworthy and kind. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our future dog visit/walking & cat sitting needs. Thank you again!”
“Megan has been amazing since she came on board with us. She is great with our precious pup and she is very knowledgeable about dogs. Megan is very professional and quick to respond. Her flexibility has been a savor.”
“Cassandra was a wonderful sitter who is motivated to connect with any pet and make them as comfortable as possible. Her communication is excellent, and always provided detailed updates on how our pet was doing without us. She also provided photos with every visit which was extremely helpful. We would definitely reach out to Cassandra to watch our dog again!”
“Dog whisperer. Very upbeat, energetic. Provided details on visits and seems to love her job. Was always on time and stayed for the entire durations. Everything you’d want in a sitter for your pet. This was our first time using the service. We will definitely select her next time we need sitter services.”
About: I’ve had pets (dogs and cats) since I was young and as a teen to adult have taken care of them well into their old age. Some of my pets have required extra care as they aged, and I was able to keep them comfortable while having all of their needs met. As a teen, neighbors would trust me for house drop-ins and dog walking regularly when they went on vacation or even had a sudden event that made them late to give their pets dinner. I’m capable of taking care of all needs including giving medications to stubborn dogs and cats, accident clean-up, litter box maintenance, walking, brushing, and bathing. **Years of experience ~4 collectively in which I was paid for pet-sitting services, owned and cared for pets my whole life. I am full time work from home, so I can easily schedule throughout the day to drop by for your pet, or I can bring my computer to your home and spend the day with your pets if you’d prefer! Additionally, I am available most weekends and weekday evenings after 5pm. I do occasionally travel for work, so booking at least a week in advance is preferred so that I can be sure of my availability. I have one dog (black lab, 7 y/o) and one cat (13 y/o). Both are very friendly, but my cat will most likely keep to herself. I have a fenced in yard where the dogs can roam, and live near a park with a walking trail so a long walk is also an option. My lawn has been treated for ticks and fleas.
“Tina came for a meet and greet and my husband and I instantly knew she would be great because our dog, who is afraid of everyone and everything, started loving on her instantly. She has never done that with strangers in her 3 1/2 years so right away that spoke volumes to us. We are looking forward to our babies getting to know Tina. Thank you Tina for spending some of your time meeting all of us.”
“This is my first time using Rover and I think I found the right person! I was worried at first but Lili was awesome and my dog liked her. Lili sent me all the update during her visit and I was greatly appreciated :)”
“Christie does drop in visits with my dog Kato on some weekends. She’s very easy to work with and Kato always seems comfortable and happy when I get home! Will continue to book with her!”
About: Currently in training with my own dog for her to become a certified therapy dog. I will care for your dog like a family member I am flexible Monday through Friday though mid morning to late afternoon will work best to give your dog the attention it deserves for proper exercise, play time and providing good company for your pup. In our home, we have always treated our dogs like the family they are, providing a safe, calm and healthy environment with lots of love. I will provide this same level of care & love with the dogs I visit as we get to know each other.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life, and I’ve raised my Labrador from a tiny puppy to the sweet senior she is today. Caring for her through every stage—training, high energy years, and now her slower senior days has given me hands on experience with all kinds of needs and personalities. I’ve also cared for multiple dogs at once and have handled overnight stays with up to six dogs for several days at a time. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, playtime, or just keeping everyone calm and happy, I’m comfortable managing a busy, furry household. I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I would love to be able to help people out in my free time, whether that be just letting a dog out or taking them for a walk. I am completely available Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays until four. Even outside of these three days I have a lot of flexibility! I care for other people’s animals as if they are my own. I am a huge dog lover and always have enjoyed caring for them and spending time with them. I am more than happy to accommodate to any animals needs and would go out of my way to follow people’s requests for their fur babies!
About: I am a dedicated and experienced animal care provider with a strong background in both personal pet ownership and professional veterinary support. Having cared for my own animals over the years, I understand the importance of patience, attention, and compassion when it comes to their well-being. In addition, my experience working in a veterinary hospital has given me valuable hands-on knowledge in animal health, behavior, and safety. This combination allows me to provide reliable, attentive, and informed care, ensuring that every pet I watch is treated with the same level of love and responsibility as my own. I’m not just an animal lover, but I also love and adore kids which is where I spend my days working in a therapy clinic for kids Monday through Friday from 8-4. I’m available before 8 on weekdays and after 4 on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays I’m available anytime of the day. I am committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and trustworthy environment for every animal in my care. I prioritize following each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions to ensure their health and comfort at all times. My experience in a veterinary setting has equipped me to recognize signs of stress or illness early and respond appropriately. I maintain a clean, hazard-free space, use secure handling practices, and provide constant supervision to prevent accidents. Open communication with pet owners is also a top priority, offering regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, reliable, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I've been a passionate animal caretaker most of my life. At a young age I began pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I raised several litters of bunnies, was the whelping helper for my Scottish Terrier twice, and rescued an African Grey Parrot 27 years ago. He is happily living with my Shih Tzu and Great Pyrenees. My husband and I have two adult college students, so our pets are extra spoiled these days! I'm currently an Elementary School Teacher, so I am available after 3pm during the weekdays. I am available and flexible on the weekends and during the summer. I would like to know your rules and procedures that are expected in your home, so I can provide that same care to keep your pets happy and safe.
“What an amazing gem! Lila was just what we needed! She is always early, ambitious and communication was impeccable! My home was happy when I returned all the fur babies seemed happy and relaxed! My pups told me she’s the one and they want her back in October!”
“Great to meet and excellent with all 3 of my animals! I have 2 senior dogs and a 1 year old cat who is very nervous around new people but he walked right up to her easily. I’m very nervous about leaving my 2 senior dogs with anyone considering one is fully blind, the other has a messed up leg along with other major health concerns but she has gained my trust in caring for my boys while I’m away. Will be hiring again and keeping as their main sitter!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Avondale stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
