“Thanks so much to Anna for checking in on our dogs this afternoon! This is our second time booking on Rover with Anna and it won’t be the last. Anna is communicative, on-time and very detail-oriented!”
“Ellen is my go-to Rover whenever I have to go out of town. My kitties love her and she always takes the time and effort to capture many great photos and leaves a thorough visit summary. Highly recommend!”
“When we needed someone to watch our dogs for a couple days when our friends were unavailable, Morgan saved the day! Our pups warmed up to her immediately and she cared for them like her own. Definitely recommend!”
“Great sitter that was able to come over for late notice visit! Did great with dog, great notes, ensured well stimulated, great communication, and dog had a great time. Will book again and would recommend.”
“Thanks so much! Glad she warmed up quickly and that will make the 5:00 visit even better. Are you available tomorrow for 3 visits? 11:30, 4:30, 8? Times can vary if needed.”
“Celeste was AMAZING! This was my first time using Rover, so I wasn’t sure what to expect..but Celeste’s bio really stood out to me. I really appreciate how much care she gave my dog, and I can tell that she really enjoys what she does. My dog usually has some separation anxiety at dog hotels, but Celeste went above and beyond to make sure my dog felt comfortable in my space during each check-in, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again soon.”
“Maimee is great, always responsive and self efficient which is very helpful when on work trips when I can’t get to my phone etc.! Our building can be confusing with parking and security but she does great with everything! Pets and all that comes with it! 😄”
“Annie (Stephanie) was so great and kind! She was very quick to respond to my messages and was always nice! She picked up on instructions quickly and followed them perfectly! I would totally recommend her and use her again!”
“Astrid was phenomenal. She took really good care of my baby while I was away two times in a row. She’s very gentle and sweet to her. She also does an amazing job with communication. 10/10 recommend.”
About: I grew up with 3 cats, and a rescue dog since I was a baby, and my grandfather was a veterinarian, so I have grown up around animals my whole life! I ran a bed and breakfast for 8 years with 10 cats, dogs, ducks, and chickens, and indoor finches. I cared for them all, especially when the owners were away. I have experience in senior cat care (one cat lived to be 24!) I have some experience in administering medication and pills. (Insulin shots, hiding pills in meals/treats, etc) During the weekdays, I am available to check in around lunch time, and again after I get off work (at 4:30) One the weekends, I do have more flexibility, so let’s chat and see what might work best for you and your pet! I want to make sure your pet is comfortable with me, a stranger, in their own home and recognize that some animals take longer to warm up than others. I would love to discuss beforehand how your pet reacts, and if a meet and greet with you present would be helpful and/or necessary! For the shy ones, I do my best to read their body language and give them space, until they feel more comfortable around me. For the ones that are excited right off the bat, love that!! I’ll make sure they get some outdoor time, quality time, lots of pets and a treat or two, if that’s allowed. :)
About: Howdy! I am Jenna. I love all dogs! I have an English Lab who is 5 years old. We live in East Nashville and have a fenced-in yard. I work from home full-time and would love to hang out with your pup all day.
“Sandra is so sweet and an amazing sitter! I felt at ease being away from home with her checking in on my baby and she sent lots of cute photos and videos of my little munchkin to ensure that he was well taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“Christina was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using Rover and to be honest I was a bit nervous, however Christina went above and beyond. She did drop-ins for my 5 year old rat terrier while I was out of town.Christina was great at communicating and providing pictures and updates. She was super thoughtful and adjusted the schedule we had set in order to meet my dog's needs (while of course communicating with me about it). One day it was raining and my dog refused to go to the bathroom (she is a little diva) and Christina went back to the house an extra time after the rain stopped to make sure she was able to use the bathroom. My dog was also not eating much while I was away and Christina hand fed her to make sure she ate. I will definitely be using her again in the future and I am so thankful to have found someone so wonderful to watch my dog!”
About: I grew up helping my uncle train and raise hunting dogs (around 15-20 at a time), raising pets of my own, and have a deep understanding with loving and respecting pets of all backgrounds. I have lived with dogs and cats my whole life and have a healthy respect for their individual boundaries. I love walking and spending time with animals. At the current moment I am free most days of the week! Very flexible - willing to drive and bend to owners expectations and pet's needs. I have spent most of my life around pets and service animals, I have plenty of experience house sitting, walking, and caring for dogs and cats. I also have experience house sitting and know how to respect one's space.
About: I have grown up with dogs my entire life and currently own a 9yo Great Dane and 4yo Golden Retriever. Growing up, we had horses, cows, pigs, goats, chickens, ducks, you name it! I’ve even watched a friend’s bunnies before. I’m comfortable with pets of all different levels of need. I work remote all days of the week and love to take a few walks throughout the day as brain breaks. I figured why not take someone’s pets with me?! My schedule is flexible and your fur babies will have my full attention. You can expect me to care for your pets like I would care for my own! I will look to personalize your pet’s care according to their needs.
“If you want to trust anyone with your animals trust maddie! She was a god sent while I was away and my pup got sick. She immediately called me and stayed with me on the phone calm as can be while she picked up his nightmare of a mess. She followed all the suggestions I gave her and my pup was feeling better the next morning. She also washed his bed and folded our towels that were in the dryer. I honestly couldnt recommend someone more she is the BEST!”
“Erin was a fantastic rover! Before my trip, she was flexible on timing to come over and meet my pet / learn his routine, and was extremely communicative during my time away! I got meaningful updates every visit and felt like my pet was in very capable hands🙂”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Avondale
Logan did a wonderful job taking care of Holly and my three cats, Dolly, Ted, and Logan! She was reliable, attentive, and kept me updated throughout each visit. I always received notifications through Rover when she started and finished her visits, along with pictures so I could see how everyone was doing. She made sure Holly was fed, spent time playing with her, and gave her plenty of attention. She also checked on the cats, making sure their automatic feeder and litter box were working properly and that they had plenty of food. It was great having the peace of mind knowing all four of my pets were being well cared for while I was away. I really appreciate Logan's help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter. I'll definitely use her again! Thank you, Logan! 😊
We usually have friends help us with the pups, but no one was available for our trip this time around. Gabe was very accommodating and helpful for a last minute booking. He is very thorough and updated us about the visits. Thankful for a service like Rover and for people who will take great care your fur-babies when you are way. Thank you so much, Gabe!
Emily is one of the best pet sitters I've had. She is very confident, well-organized, communicative and you can tell right away that she has an affinity for animals. It was such a blessing to establish a relationship with such a great sitter that made my time away peaceful and worry-free. I could tell that my pets had a very comforting experience!

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.
