“Mariah is a wonderful caregiver to our pups!! Mariah is always on time and great at communicating throughout the visit. Will keep going back to her as a caregiver for them.”
“I cannot emphasize how amazing Wendy is. I trust her with my fur child 100%. If you need a great dog sitter/walker who is so kind and always available in a pinch, you need Wendy.”
“She was great with Jaxx and kept him good company. Nicole is so sweet, accommodating and caring. Very patient and takes her time with Jaxx to make sure he was doing good on each check in. Jaxx is already looking forward to the next time he gets to see Nicole 🤍”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond caring for our two dogs and our cat while our family was away for a week. She was incredibly reliable, kept us updated with messages and photos, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pets and a house that was just as we left it. We are so grateful for the extra care and attention she gave them and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Allison agreed on short notice to watch my cats this past week and did a super job. She did exactly what I asked her to and I am very pleased. I would hire her again anytime or recommend her to anyone.”
About: I grew up in a house where the dogs ran the show, so I’ve been living in their world my entire life. I’ve loved and lived with everything from massive, goofy Pitbulls who forgot how big they were, to spicy Miniature Schnauzers who thought they ruled the neighborhood (plus a whole bunch of chaotic, wonderful mutts who deserve all the trophies). I also have a massive soft spot for the "golden oldies" club. Having loved and cared for my own senior dogs, I know exactly what it takes to look after an aging pup. I’m totally comfortable with strict medication schedules, lifting them into the car, or just going at a snail's pace on a walk so they can sniff every single blade of grass. Whether your pup is a high-energy land shark who needs to burn off steam, or a sweet senior who just wants to snooze on my feet while I watch TV, they’ll be treated like absolute family. Because I primarily take online classes and have a minimal school schedule, my calendar is incredibly open! I have a ton of free time throughout the week and even more flexibility on the weekends, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, potty breaks, and companionship. The only time I am unavailable is for a few late-night classes three days a week. Other than those brief windows, I am completely free! Because my schedule is so open, I can easily adapt to your pet's specific routine. Whether they need a mid-day walk, morning medication, or just someone around to keep them company while you're away. When your pet is with me, their safety and comfort are my absolute top priorities. I treat every animal in my care exactly like a member of my own family, which means a secure environment, lots of supervision, and zero stress for you. My home is a pet-friendly, loving sanctuary. Because I have my own pets and have experience with fosters, my space is thoroughly pet-proofed (no loose cords, toxic plants, or easily reachable snacks!). Your pet will have plenty of room to lounge, explore, and find a cozy spot to nap. I am incredibly respectful of your space and will strictly follow whatever house rules you have in place. I make sure doors are locked, gates are secure, and routines are followed down to the letter. And I will NEVER assume anything about your pet!!
About: I’ve grown up around multiple animals, having dogs and cats and other exotic animals. I also used to watch neighbor’s pets if they needed me to. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.
“Brianna was amazing.. and always kept me informed. She dropped in on my 3 rambunctious cats and did extra duties like getting my mail and cleaning up where she didn't have to.. will definitely use her again if the need arises!”
About: I provide personalized, attentive care for pets, ensuring their comfort and happiness. With reliability, experience, and a genuine love for animals, I treat them like family. I currently work part time with flexible hours, I’m in school but can leave school at noon or anytime needed. I am very good at scheduling my time as needed and am very flexible I provide loving and attentive care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or the client’s. In my home, I create a safe, clean, and stimulating environment with regular feeding, playtime, grooming, and plenty of affection. In clients’ homes, I maintain their pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, litter or yard care, walks, and medications if needed, ensuring the pet feels secure and comfortable while their owner is away. My focus is on trust, reliability, and treating every pet like family.
“Austin kept in contact with me im every visit with Coco. And took great pictures of her and of our birds. He swept the dog hair from the floor. He does a great job. We will definitely use his services again for Coco.”
About: I have had animals of my own from my teenage years all the way through my adulthood that i cared for fulltime. My main experience is with dogs specifically. I work from 8 to 5 CST. I work from home so I am able to be there for potty breaks, dog walks, feeding ect. My pet right now is 1 dog. She's around 2 years old so my care routine consists of feeding, bathing, playing, & preventative care such as regular visits to the vet.
About: I have two dogs of my own and I promise to treat them like one of my own! For dogs, I can walk them, feed them, bathe them, and play with them! I’m a junior at Tennessee Tech University studying at the nursing school there! Even though my major relates to humans, I’ve always been dedicated to taking care of animals if they needed it. I have a dog of my own that I’ve done plenty of research for in order to take proper care of him! I’ve also had two more dogs and seven cats of my own back in my hometown! Safety is my biggest priority. In my client’s home, I will utilize every safety resource that is offered: fences, leashes, crates, and more. I will always make sure your fur baby is taken care of!
“Jennifer is a great pet sitter. I had her sit my 2 cats and 2 chickens. The cats were in the process of being toilet trained. Jennifer went beyond expectations and encouraged them like I do. They were so comfortable with her even my one picky cat that hides from strangers. I couldn't have lucked out any better than finding her to take care of my babies!”
About: I have always taken care of animals for people and I have used rover myself for my dogs. I love cats and dogs, and want to provide good quality care. I’ll treat your pets as if they were my own and you can expect lots of pictures. I currently do deliveries but your animals will be my priority. I have a flexible schedule and willing to take care of whatever you need. I have a huge yard to walk dogs, and they’ll get plenty of attention and play time. I also have two friendly dogs who love playing with other dogs. If I am in your home I’ll respect whatever rules and schedule you like to keep for your pets.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Baxter stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
