“Hollie is SO amazing! She cared for our two cats while we were away, and they enjoyed every minute! Hollie kept us very informed with photos and messages about our cats. We appreciate how communicative, kind and caring she is. We already are planning her next visit. Thank you, Hollie!”
“Ericka clearly loves animals and took great care of our girls. She didn't have to, but she brought them out for day trips beyond the minimum. She also took great pictures.”
“Jo (Ninfa) went above and beyond taking care of our pup! She kept us updated daily with her drop-ins and sent pictures of our dog. Even taking care of several snags we had at the home! We will definitely call on her again. Thank you, Jo! You’re awesome!”
“Lizeth did a wonderful job taking care of our pets! She checked in daily, kept the areas clean and tidy, and followed our instructions beautifully. I highly recommend her for your future pet care needs.”
“Alexandria was absolutely fantastic! I'm so grateful for her. My old baby takes medicine and has some extra care needs and she was in the best hands while I was gone. She looked so happy in the pictures Alexandria sent every day while I was away, I'm so glad she was there for her. My shy kitty loved her too!! I highly recommend choosing her to care for your babies too. ❤️”

“Brittney is the best! She has always taken great care of our dogs. And when we’ve had to pivot vacation plans, she has been flexible and willing to go the extra mile. We appreciate Brittney!!”
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”
“Kristin checked in on our cat while we were on vacation. Usually he hides when we are gone, but he came out and greeted her on a few occasions. Kristin's communication was excellent and she took good care of our cat. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!”
“Allison was great! I booked her very last minute, and she still made time to come over to do a greet and meet. She’s clearly a dog lover, and our pups instantly fell in love with her. And very affordable rates! 10/10 would rebook in the future!”
About: Whether it's feeding, refreshing water cleaning litter boxes, playtime or simply offering close companionship, I pay attention to each pets needs. I treat all fur babies like they were my own. Per care fits naturally into my daily and weekly schedule. I have a flexible routine that allows to provide dependable drop-in visits, ensuring pets receive timely care, attention, and excersise. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and have built pretty care into my routine. My flexible schedule shows me to provide consistent drop-in visits and give each pet the attention they deserve.
About: I have worked and volunteered at animal shelters so I know how to handle cats and dogs and tend to their needs. I have babysat dogs for my family, family friends and neighbors. I’ve gone to check in on their puppies. I am a full time student in school to be a Veterinarian. I have taken care of many different animals such as dogs, cats, ferrets, pigs, chickens, ducks, rabbits, sheep’s, goats and reptiles. I have my certification to give intramuscular, intravenous, and subcutaneous injections to fulfill your pets needs. I am a full time college student. I only go to school two days out of the week during the morning time. So I will be able to stay home the rest of the time to care for your babies. We wake up let the dogs outside, let them back in to eat and then go back outside sometimes we will play outside will the ball. Our older dogs like to stay inside.
About: I’ve been the resident dog sitter in my friend group for the last decade. I typically stay in their homes so the animals can stay in their own comfortable environment! I love taking them on walks or just laying around the house together! Looking forward to meeting your furry friends! I work from home so if I am sitting at yours, all I need is a WiFi connection and I can be present and attentive! I live in an apartment but have a schedule which allows for regular playtime and potty breaks! If I stay at your house you also may see some clean counters and organized fridge (bit of a tidy upper :))

“Valerie is such a friendly and trustworthy sitter for our two crazy beagles. She is always there when I need her, even if it is a little last minute. I can tell my dogs loved her instantly when they met her. We’ll continue to use her as long as we can!”
“Sarah took such great care of our cat Phoebe! Daily I received texts and pictures. I definitely would use Sarah’s services again if I need a responsible caregiver for our animals.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Balcones Heights
This is my second time booking with Olivia and she has been nothing but phenomenal. She takes care of Dexter as if he was her own. He has definitely been labeled as a spicy cat and to have someone who is so patient and loving towards him while I’m away gives me peace of mind.
Kristin was wonderful! She was so nice, communicative, and took great care of my dog Oakley. Oakley has some issues getting used to strangers so I’m always nervous leaving him with sitters but I felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and would definitely book with her again!
Karen was great with Reese! She was very attentive and kind upon meeting her and after the visit to return my key. She did a great job with taking care of him, sending me pics and lots of updates. She made sure he was eating when he was picky and gave him extra treats. She even left me a small gift for me! Thank you for all the help and taking care of him!
I highly recommend Violeta! She was excellent, reliable, and incredibly communicative throughout the entire time she cared for my dog. I received regular updates, photos, and quick responses whenever I had questions, which gave me complete peace of mind. It was clear that my dog was well cared for, loved, and comfortable while I was away. Her professionalism, dependability, and genuine care for animals truly stand out. I would not hesitate to book with Violeta again and would confidently recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
Sonia went above and beyond in watching our pets. When presented with several unforeseen difficulties, including leaving the wrong key and my cat not eating, Sonia went out of her way to communicate and brainstorm with me to find the best solutions and care for my fur babies. Sonia even made an extra trip out to my apartment to ensure my pets got fed, went potty, felt loved, and had good playtime. Sonia did an amazing job with my girls and I would highly recommend her to others!
Jeremiah has been taking care of my baby girl (cat) for a few years now. I have full confidence in him. Even as she has grown older and needed to take medications, Jeremiah has adapted to her feeding schedule and made sure she gets her medicine. I am so grateful I found a sitter I can trust and rely on.
Taylor was the absolute sweetest and best caretaker for my Sunnie! She made sure to track every walk with Sunnie, gave a detailed explanation for every trip made, and made sure to send pictures. She took the best care of Sunnie and gave her all the cuddles. Made my trip so stress-free not having to worry about my dog, or message her to make sure everything was going okay because she was doing that without me asking! Need a Rover sitter, book her!
Brenda was an absolute professional when taking care of my pets. She was on time, caring and went above and beyond my expectations. We will 100% ask for her help in the future. She was wonderful. Thank you for taking care of our babies! It takes sooooo much pressure off of leaving them knowing someone so kind is caring for them.

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.
