“Hollie was amazing! I had her drop in on my cat a few times during the week when I was gone, and she did such a good job! She made sure he had food, water, and a clean litter box according to the instructions I gave. My cat can be a little skittish around new people, especially when I’m not there, but she was patient with him and won him over so that he was his affectionate self to her by the second visit! I really appreciated the time she took to let my cat come to her on his own terms and didn’t force anything. She sent multiple pictures and videos during the visit so I could see how he was doing and reacting to her. I highly recommend her and will book again in the future when I need another cat sitter!”
“Thank you so much for looking out for our sweet girl. We loved the bandana and the photo op you did for her as well lol. You truly went above and beyond for Iv and us. We will definitely be contacting you again the next time we need a stop by. Thank you again!!”
“Belem was great with my boy kitty. He is still young and usually takes a while to warm up to people but she got him to come out of his shell. She followed directions and sent me lots of updates. I would trust her with my baby again.”
“Karen is our go-to cat sitter:) She always takes great care of our babies and they love playing with her. Would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Samuel has been sitting for both our dog and cat for over a year and has been wonderful. We have used him for home boarding and drop in visits at our home in the west side and he is always great with communication, reliable, and does great with our pets. We have been very satisfied!”
“We couldn’t be happier with our experience! Jessica took such wonderful care of our cat during drop-in visits and truly went above and beyond what we expected. Her communication was exceptional she sent updates and photos that gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. You could tell she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring pet sitter.”
“April went above and beyond and best of all my pets just love her! Highly professional with fantastic check in videos. I will certainly have April at the top of my list next time I need pet care.”
“I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Anissa! She took care of my two Great Danes, Staffordshire Terrier, and two cats for an entire week, checking on them three times a day. With five pets—and three big dogs—that’s a lot to take on, and she handled everything amazingly. From the very beginning, Anissa made me feel completely comfortable leaving my babies in her care. She sent me pictures at every single visit, and being able to see their happy faces and know they were being loved and well cared for gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She cleaned the litter boxes and backyard every day and even went above and beyond by vacuuming daily—which was definitely not something I expected her to do! Coming home to happy, well-cared-for pets AND a clean house was such a wonderful feeling. What meant the most to me was knowing that Anissa wasn’t just stopping by to check things off a list. I could tell she genuinely cared about my animals and treated them like they were her own. When you have five fur babies, finding someone you truly trust with them is priceless. I will absolutely be using Anissa again and, as long as she’s available, she will be the person I call whenever I need someone to care for my pets. I wouldn’t hesitate for a second to recommend her. Thank you, Anissa, for taking such amazing care of my crew! ❤️🐾”
“Vivian was phenomenal! This was our first time hiring a cat sitter and she completely put our minds at ease while we were away. And she’s a great photo taker! I look forward to booking her again and again :)”
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: Hi! I’ve been caring for small dogs (under 40 lbs) for years—originally for friends and family, and more recently for clients through Rover. I also had the honor of caring for my own senior dog during the final stage of his life, an experience that deepened my understanding of the needs of aging pets and taught me the value of patience, empathy, and attentive care. I currently share my home with my energetic senior English Springer Spaniel/Blue Heeler mix—equal parts cuddlebug and goofball. Living with a disability has never limited my ability to provide a full, enriching life for her or for the dogs I care for. I’ve developed safe, effective strategies for training and daily care that prioritize the comfort and happiness of each pup. I offer in-home visits only, allowing your dog to stay in their familiar environment and routine—ideal for pets who thrive on stability. My flexible, open schedule means I’m available when you need me: weekdays, evenings, and weekends. I’m experienced with administering medications (including pills and eye drops) and love keeping dogs engaged with enrichment activities like puzzle feeders, sniff walks, and tug-of-war. Your dog’s happiness and well-being are always my top priorities! I currently don't work so I have a very flexible schedule to come to your home and feed, walk and play with your fur babies My open schedule will ensure that your dog gets properly exercised. I can do separate walks for multiple dog households. Crating can also be done.
“Truly the best sitter!! Hera absolutely loved her and I felt confident my sweet dog was in great hands. She gave detailed recaps of each visit which was so appreciated and I enjoyed reading those when I would have service! Will absolutely book again and recommend to anyone who is nervous of leaving their fur babies in new hands.”
“We had a great experience with Anna dropping in to take care of our dogs. Excellent communication. She even stopped by beforehand to meet our pups. We would highly recommend Anna and plan to use her pet sitting services in the future.”
“Sofia was extremely helpful with taking care of my dogs when I was away on vacation. I will definitely use her services again in the future. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a quality dog sitter!”
“Mel was great! Very attentive to my baby’s care instructions and sent lots of pictures. She’s a shy kitty but warmed up to him so quickly. Definitely recommend!”
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for years! I have experience with puppies to senior puppies, small babies to large babies. I have a blue heeler, a frenchie, and a cat at home. I’m an EMT so I get almost a week off every other week. In my off time, I love doing anything that has to do with animals! I will treat your baby like my own! We can play with toys or do some training or go to a dog park with permission.
“Paige was wonderful with Maisie, she’s a rescue dog and very nervous. Paige was very patient. We will be booking Paige again so that Maisie can get to know her better in order for her to house sit when we need to be away over night.”
About: This is my first time pet sitting professionally. I had a medium schnauzer-mix for 17 years, he crossed the rainbow bridge 2.5 years ago and I miss him dearly. I love animals and often wish I had one of my own but I feel I am still grieving my furever love. I'm seeking PT work and figured pet sitting could be very fulfilling in more ways than financially. I am an independent contractor, licensed massage therapist by day. I'm looking to sit evenings, check in and walks during the day. My schedule can be flexible depending on the week. Please leave detailed instructions as to your pets routine and needs in your space and I can accommodate them. I do not offer services in my own home.

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.
I honestly can’t say enough wonderful things about Anissa! She took care of my two Great Danes, Staffordshire Terrier, and two cats for an entire week, checking on them three times a day.

Thank you, Anissa, for taking such amazing care of my crew! ❤️🐾
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!

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
