“Lawton took such amazing care of my fur babies and my home while I was away on business. She was a wonderful communicator throughout, sending pictures, videos, and daily report cards that gave me peace of mind and reassurance that everyone was happy and well cared for. This was my first time using Rover, and Lawton made it such a great experience. I will definitely be a repeat customer and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Alli was everything I hoped for in a petsitter. I felt comfortable leaving my three big dogs in her care. She was on time with her visits and did everything I requested. I will be asking for her help again in a month or two.”
“Elisabeth is a pet whisperer. Our shy cats came up to her immediately and knew they were safe. Unfortunately she had to handle an emergency and stayed with our pet the pet hospital until we could get there. She’s terrific.”
“Alicia was not only available last minute but connected with our two dogs the second they met. She provided updates with each visits and wonderful pictures. It was apparent when we returned that the dogs had been loved. Thank you!”
“Patricia has been a lifesaver for our family. With a change in our working schedule (one spouse no longer working remotely) and traveling, we needed a person to let our dog out mid-day. She is responsive to our needs and our dog enjoys his breaks with her.”
“Cleo was absolutely amazing! She was so patient with my pup and really took the time to make her feel like family while I was away. I would DEFINITELY recommend!!”
“I have a senior cat with some health issues requiring medications, so it was a relief to find Brooklyn with her experience in administering medications, and understanding my cat's symptoms and her care. She sent a great update, including pictures from her visit. I really appreciate her support on short notice. Would book again! Thank you, Brooklyn!”
“This was our first time looking for a sitter in MO and picked well! She addressed my main concern while gone which was locating the hiding cat-not an easy feat! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Cammie was super sweet to my little dogs which made me feel better leaving them at home!! I felt totally comfortable with her in the house! Would highly recommend her!”
“Emma was great with my boys! They really enjoyed her company, and the snuggles. They were well taken care of and it was very nice to not have to worry about them. Thank you for a great experience!”
“Barbara was great! Timely and compassionate, she sent great updates with multiple pictures and was patient with our senior dog. We will absolutely be utilizing her again in the future.”
“Jessica was amazing! She took such great care of our two boys. We could see how excited they were to see her when she sent us the daily videos. We are so grateful to her and highly recommend her (except when we need her help) to everyone. Thank you J!”
“This was our very first experience with Rover.com - and we are very pleased. Working with Natalie has been such a great experience! We love to vacation but hate leaving our two cats behind. We used to board them at a very nice kenneling center, but found the experience to be too stressful for our Himalayans who strongly prefer to stay at home. Natalie met with us before our first booking, and really took the time to get to know our cats' schedules, preferences, etc. We appreciate her swift and thorough communication, the photos she took of our cats and the nicely detailed write-ups of her visits. Finally, we can now travel with peace of mind knowing that Natalie is watching over our furbabies. We've already booked her for our upcoming honeymoon to Mexico, and look forward to booking her again for future vacations. Thank you Natalie!”
“Visits with messages and pics were thorough and appreciated! Both cats seemed to do just fine without us. LOL Will definitely book again if Callie is available. Thank you, Callie!”
About: Through my life I have experienced taking care of family pets, from the puppy stage to crossing the rainbow bridge. I often think I love animals more than people. I am currently working from home part time with flexible hours, so I can play with and cuddle your fur babies as much as they want. I can board, pet sit or just walk your dog weekdays or weekends day or night. I have a fenced in yard with one senior dog. I can crate a dog up to 40lbs. We can go for walks if desired.
About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.
About: Ive been an emergency vet tech and helping hand for 6+ years. Ive had animals my entire life & adore them so much I made a living off keeping them safe & healthy. Your loved ones will be loved in my home & heart. I work long hours but that means I have more days off to help you out. 3 days out if the week i have off & can accommodate your oets here in my home or stop by your house for potty breaks/walks. My yard is fenced in, my animals are very friendly, my teenage son loves animals & hopes to follow in mom's footsteps in vet med.

I felt very comfortable having Beth care for Willow. They seemed to form a friendly bond immediately. Beth adhered to my suggested schedule of visits and prompted forwarded me information about those visits. Please compliment Beth and apply a $10 tip. Thank you!
Cleo was fantastic with Lumi! She was reliable, communicative and sent us great updates and plenty of photos after every visit. She made sure Lumi got her walks and potty breaks, had fresh water and food, and spent extra time playing with her and giving her some attention and cuddles. It gave us a lot of peace of mind being away knowing Lumi was comfortable and well cared for. Cleo clearly took the time to actually engage with her rather than just stopping by to check the boxes. We would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Ashley was great!! I got pictures & a report card every check-in. She was very attuned to my senior kitty. She is on some medication that can come with side effects and Ashley made sure to let me know what she was noticing! Definitely will hire again. She has a great attitude & even watered my plant while I was away! Thank you so much, Ashley!!

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.

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 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.
