“Leo took such good care of my Bonzo. I loved seeing the photos from his visits. Bonzo’s big eyes and smile says it all. Leo was punctual and really good about keeping Bonzo’s feeding schedule. He was also tentative to notes that I left for him.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life and come from a very animal-loving family. We’ve cared for dogs, cats, bunnies, guinea pigs, and fish. I also have 5+ years of fostering experience, helping care for over 20 dogs and cats of all sizes and ages. I’ve never lived without a pet, and currently I have one dog and an outside cat. I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and caring for your pets, and I would treat them like family. I work from home, which gives me plenty of time and flexibility to care for your pets throughout the day. I also enjoy going on multiple walks daily, so having a dog to join me would be wonderful. Your pet would receive lots of attention, exercise, and care. I provide a safe and loving environment for pets in my care. I live in a nice, walkable neighborhood that’s great for daily walks. I also enjoy taking dogs on walks to the beach boardwalk. I’m experienced with giving medication to pets, since I give medicine to my own dog daily. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, cared for, and safe.
About: I’ve had several dogs as I grew up. Pitbulls mostly. I love playing, walking, talking and being around dogs. I know what to do and what not to do when it comes to dogs. It fits into my routine because everyday I walk my dog missy around our neighborhood. I feed her around a certain time, give the food time to digest then take her for a walk let her get everything out her system and let her enjoy leaving her scent and seeing the other dogs in our neighborhood. I have a fence/gate around my house in case a clients pet isn’t friendly or good around other animals. I have a personal area that their pet can be able to enjoy.

I especially appreciated how detailed her notes were — she really took the time to communicate and keep me updated, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. It was clear Saber was very well cared for, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.”

About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my entire life. I grew up with both a dog and a cat, and as an adult, I’ve had cats of my own and have cared for both dogs and cats for friends, neighbors, and families while they were traveling or needed extra help. I also have hands-on experience fostering cats, volunteering with a cat rescue, and feeding community cats in my neighborhood. Because of that, I’m very comfortable with different pet personalities, from playful and social to shy, cautious, or independent. I understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, reliable, and attentive, especially when pets are in their own home, and their people are away. I’ll treat your pets with the same care and kindness I would want for my own. I work from home as a freelance grant writer and consultant, which gives me a flexible schedule and makes it easier for me to fit pet care into my day. I’m usually able to work around your pet’s needs, whether that means drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, walks, or giving them some company while you’re away. I also have one teenager at home who is very independent, so my schedule is not tied up with young children or a rigid routine. Because I’m local and have flexibility during the week, I can be dependable and responsive when your pets need care. I’m happy to come to your home to care for your pets where they feel most comfortable and secure. At this time, I’m not able to board pets in my own home. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to follow your instructions closely and keep your pet’s routine as normal as possible. I’ll make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or potty breaks, walks or playtime as needed, and plenty of attention based on their personality and comfort level. I’m also respectful of your home and will be careful with keys, doors, gates, feeding instructions, medications if needed, and any safety rules you provide. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, cared for, and loved while you’re away, and for you to feel confident that they’re in responsible hands.

About: I have two dogs of my own that I’ve cared for over the past five years, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, training, and keeping pets happy and healthy. Being a dog owner myself I understand how important it is to have someone reliable and attentive looking after your pets. I take pride and being a patient, loving and responsible caretaker, who treats every dog like family. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine since I already spent a lot of time walking, playing with, and caring for my own two dogs. I make sure to build time into my mornings and evenings for exercise and attention, and I’m flexible throughout the week to accommodate walks, drop ins, or sitting as needed. Because pet care is already part of my lifestyle, adding more furry friends into my routine, feels natural and exciting, I truly love it. I make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable whether they’re in my home or yours. With my own two dogs, I’ve created a clean, secure, and playful environment, and I bring that same care to every pet. I look after. I follow routines closely, pay attention to details, and treat each pet like family.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bay Harbor Islands
Andrea is always very professional and communicative. I appreciate being able to go away and not worry about my cat because I know she is in good hands. I have referred Andrea to my friends and neighbors without hesitation and I will definitely book with her again. Thank you for taking such good care of Penelope!
Leo took wonderful care of Socrates while I was away. Everything went smoothly, and it was such a relief to know he was in good hands. When I came home, Socrates looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for. Leo was kind, reliable, and clearly gave him lots of attention and care. I truly appreciated the updates and pictures received and would absolutely trust Leo to watch Socrates again. Highly recommend! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would do so without hesitation.
Marianna was absolutely wonderful with Thor. She was communicative, sent detailed updates with photos after every visit, and clearly went above and beyond — even navigating flooding from a storm to make sure she got to him on time. She noticed small details, like mixing his leftovers with fresh food and topping off his water fountain, and made sure he felt safe and comfortable the whole time I was away. Thor was clearly relaxed and well cared for by the end of the trip. I’d trust her with him again in a heartbeat and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.
Michelle is absolutely amazing! She gave me such peace of mind and my fur babies could not have been taken better care of. She's very responsive, took the time to get my one sick baby to eat when he was NOT into it, and she sent me frame worthy pictures daily. Michelle, you're a freaking ROCK STAR 😻
Any is amazing!!! She took such great care of our two cats and managed to administer the medicine like a champ to one of them. She was always sending us videos and photos so we could see how well they were doing. Any, thank you again for taking such wonderful care of our cats!
Jaylan is calm, kind and patient. One of my cats loved her and the other (who only loves me😂) seemed to take to her also. She did just as I had requested for the time I was away, which I appreciate- as the biggest part was just spend some time with them so they wouldn’t get lonely or stressed. I would definitely recommend her.
I can’t say enough great things about Marcy. She took care of my dogs like they were her own. This was the best pet sitting experience I’ve ever had. She was attentive, thoughtful, and my dogs loved her. Marcy went above and beyond and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. If you want someone you can trust who will treat your pets like family, Marcy is it. Thank you for making my trip stress free.

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.

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.

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.
