“Rachel was so attentive and caring while watching my cats. She really went the extra mile to provide enrichment! She provided detailed updates and I felt that my pets were in completely safe hands.”
“We needed someone to keep an eye on our kitties on sort of last minute notice and Olivia was so accommodating to meet us just as we were departing for the airport. She sent very cute daily photos and notes about her drop-in visits with them. Definitely felt they were in good care under Olivia’s watch!”
“Our pups were clearly well loved and taken care of! Sarah was very responsive, shared many updates & photos and was the best Rover experience we have had so far! Thank you Sarah, we will definitely be using you again! ❤️”
“Kimberly was punctual. She sent pics of our fur babies smiling and playing! And she even checked for a package delivery we were expecting! We’ve already booked her for another drop in visit!!”
“Kyla always does a great service when she sits for us. The cats love her and it`s always easy to communicate with her. She treats the pets wonderfully well and she is the person we reach out to whenever we need a sitter. Highly recommended!”
“Elizabeth has been at my home 2X a day to take care of my baby girls, Jolene and Savannah, for 5 days. I always got wonderful pics of them and she answered any questions I asked about them!! The shy one Jolene, warmed up to her! She is wonderful! I highly recommend her and I will definitely request her the next time I go out of town!!”
“Patti is absolutely amazing! I'm writing this review to show my appreciation for her dedication and consistency throughout the past few months. Otherwise, I want to keep her away from everyone else, so our dog Miso can have Patti all to herself. Joking aside, she is very prompt with her responses, and she is very detailed in her rover reports after the drop-in visits. Despite the requested service being only the "drop-in visits," she went out of her way to take our dog for a short walk, which we really appreciated. It's very clear that our dog is much calmer on the days that Patti stops by (Importance of walking your dog). For anyone who's looking for an excellent dog sitter, look no further (but please do walk away because we need her for our dog :P).”
“I highly recommend her, she is very responsible, she arrives on time and takes good care of your pet, she sends you photos of the moment, which I thought was very nice of her”
“Gretta was great! She agreed to do a check-in on such a late notice. Super thankful for that! Communication was good and she was on time. She followed all instructions. I would definitely recommend her and will use her in the future. My Yogi Bear and I thank you! 🫶🏼”

When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure they are fed on schedule, have fresh water, and get plenty of exercise and attention throughout the day. I also monitor their behavior to make sure they are happy, healthy, and not feeling stressed while their owner is away. As well as in a clients home, I respect your space and specific instructions on pet care! Ensuring your pets and home’s safety is never an issue.

Whether it’s going for walks, playing, extra health needs or just giving lots of cuddles, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels loved and cared for. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon! I have a flexible schedule and can be made available if allocated enough time to arrange my schedule! Please try and give 3 days in advance if possible! I do live in an apartment complex, I have access to Dog parks and lots of grass and free space for them to wander and go on walks! I am a relaxed dog sitter, they are allowed to sit on my couch and bed with me! I have hardwood floors and puppies or seniors who are not pee trained are not an issue.
About: I’ve always had a love for animals and currently have two dogs of my own. I also have experience volunteering at an animal shelter, where I cared for and spent time with animals of different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, and genuinely enjoy being around animals. Your pets will be treated with the same love, kindness, and care that I give my own! In my photos you will be my two dogs and many other dogs I have helped care for. I am currently a college student and am looking for ways to help out in my free time! I will mainly be available on the weekends and some weekends. I promise to treat your animals just a well as I treat my own. I have two dogs and two cats so I have lots of experience caring for animals. I know how stressful it can be to trust others with your animals so any list given will be followed exactly.
About: I've had many pets all my life, multiple dogs and cats. I've dealt with all different personalities with our cats. I love animals and have always had a soft spot for them. I'm currently a Sophomore at UT Tyler, and have two classes in person and the rest online. My week is pretty clear, my cat is self sufficient with her automatic feeder and litter box. I would take the dogs on walks, care for them throughout the day, feed when needed. For cats, I would make sure they are drinking enough water and well stimulated.
About: Ever since I was a toddler, I always been surrounded by animals. Whether is a dog, cat, bunnies, chickens, and so forth. I always had compassion for animals, so I’m trying to save up to become a vet tech. I currently own 4 dogs, Pekingese, Peke-zu, and 2 Chows , so I’m pretty used to the chaos. I know some basic commands such as sit, down,and leave it, so if you need help with that I’ll gladly teach your pet. I also don’t mind if your pet needs a bath and blow dry, just let me know ahead of time, so that I can bring my dog dryer and brushes. Thank you for your time and I’m looking forward in meeting you and taking care of your fur babies. I’m currently unemployed, so I definitely will have time in looking after your pet. I normally wake up as early as 5:30 am since my dogs are my alarm clock since they’re ready for food by 6am. I will prefer at home dog sitting since I have 4 dogs at my house and depending on your dog it might be overwhelming for them. I have slip leashes if you need help with corrections if your pet tends to pull when going on walks.
About: I’ve always had a love for taking care of animals and I got to pursue my passion in high school by taking the Whitehouse Vet Med program to become a certified Vet assistant. I’m currently working on getting into the tjc Vet program they have as well. I have plenty of animals at home as well as many of my friends. They would sometimes ask me questions about their pets regarding their health or they would ask me to care for them while they’re gone. I’m almost always surrounded by pets. For house sitting services: Text me for pricing arrangements! I am negotiable depending on where you live, your ideal budget, and all! I have two dogs at home so if they were coming to my home with me, I’d first put them up or take them somewhere else so the pet I’m caring for can get comfortable and used to the new setting. Then I will do all that is instructed by the owner whether that be following their food schedule, walking, or letting them use the restroom outside.
About: I have had dogs my whole life until I got horses at 13. At one point in my life, I was taking care of 4 dogs (almost 6), a bunny, and 6 horses. Over the years, I have lost some of my animals, so now I care for 1 dog and 4 horses. I love animals; I honestly can't imagine my life without them. Also, I worked at a vet's office as a kennel tech for 3 years. So I am very comfortable with anything that your pet might need within reason. I'm currently doing online classes in college. My schedule is flexible, and I will communicate if it changes. Weekends can be free, but I love spending time with my family and having my own time to do whatever I need to do. When I go to someone's home, I like to ask questions that will help me better understand their pet. I am very patient, willing to go at their pace. I am good at following instructions. I will be there on time, make sure they have everything they might need, and communicate if I can't find it, if your pet may need something, or if I have questions. Also, I will tell you if I see anything out of the ordinary
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bascom
10/10!!! Best sitter I could ask for! I’ve always worried about leaving my babies with someone else, but not with Jessica! She ensure my babies received some love when she came by, fed and gave them water, noted their litter boxes were being used, and even sent photos of how they were doing. The ease I felt to be able to be okay knowing they were well taken care of was much needed and secured Jessica as my sitter for all future needs! Thank you so much for caring for my littles!!!

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.
