“Hayley was such a huge help in checking on our dogs and cats! She sent daily pictures of all of them and was communicative of anything going on with them! As first time users of pet-sitters my husband and I were nervous but after meeting Hayley a lot of our concerns were forgotten. We'll definitely be asking for her help again in the future!”
“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 🤍”
“Mariah is truly incredible! My dogs absolutely adore her and get so excited for her visits. We use her every week, and she’s been so flexible and accommodating—even with last-minute schedule changes. It gives me such peace of mind knowing they’re in such loving and reliable hands. I’m beyond grateful for Mariah and couldn’t imagine a better pet sitter to trust with my pups!”
“Wendy was amazing with our 3 kiddos! She was able to step in for a last minute booking and “saved the day!” She sent pics of our kiddos and kept us updated on who ate all of their food, who went out to potty and who was being a bit finicky each night We would recommend her to anyone who uses the app!!! 10/10”
“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.”
“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’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.
About: I have had dogs and cats since I can remember. I enjoy taking care of other peoples pets as well and getting to see their personalities shine! I have experience from puppies/kittens to elder dogs and cats! I work a 3rd shift, I work 4 days and am off 4 days. I have plenty of time on my hands to properly and efficiently take care of pets. I care for pets in other people's home well by listening to the parents detail about the environment and take into account the animals behaviors and reading their body language. It is important to make sure the animals feel safe and comfortable no matter what.
About: I have been privileged to take care of multiple species throughout my life! I am able to take excellent care and to be a friend! My current availability is wide open. I am looking for a part-time job as well, but would like to keep pet care as a top priority. I currently do not have a proper fenced in area and would prefer not to have larger breeds until then. I am able to house smaller breeds as long as they are comfortable with two younger dogs. I am fully comfortable with at home visits/house sitting.
“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 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!
About: I have always had an affinity towards taking care of animals, specifically dogs! I have walked and taken care of many of my friend's pups and I had a beautiful German Shepherd named Tavi for many years whom I loved dearly. Now that I live alone and do online school full-time, I am looking to spend more time around dogs since I unfortunately can't have a pet in my own apartment. I love to hike and spend most of my time outdoors when I'm not doing school! I love taking care of animals and although I am a full-time online student, I am also human and require lots of outdoor breaks myself (just like our pups). I am available most days usually after 10am until around sunset. I am very organized and will stick to/adapt to you and your pet's needs. I love to play with dogs and will also make sure any medication is taken if need be.
About: I have worked with dogs for around 2 years now, from working with rescue dogs, having my own, and doing doggy daycare in the Nashville area I am a college student at TTU, My classes end early afternoon so I have my whole afternoons free, I do not have a job but I'm currently looking for a part-time serving job. I will not be able to care for dogs in my home because I am living in a college dorm at TTU but in I am able to stay overnight with pets in you're home

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.
