“This was Lisa's first drop-in visit with Bogey, who is a rescue , previously abused, and normally reserved around new people. He and Lisa got along very well. She took the time to meet Bogey in advance, arrived on time, and obviously cared about making him comfortable, something that is not easy to do. I was very pleased with the care Lisa gave him, and I will be scheduling her in the future. It is my hope that she will be my "go to" person when I need a dog sitter.”

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, and have over 10 years experience in petsitting! Every single animal I’ve gotten to know leaves a lasting impression on me. I have had dogs my entire life, and have been through every stage of life with them. As well as the extra care that comes with them — whether it be medicine, extra potty breaks, feeding routines, messes, or whatever they need. I know how important it is to show love and attention to our pets from puppy to senior. I carry that love and responsibility with me to new pets I meet and care for! I understand what a privilege it is to be trusted with them, and it’s something I really take to heart that clients have trusted me to do. Our “pets” are our family! My priority is making sure you and them feel comfortable and safe during the time I get to spend with them. Every pet has their own quirks and routines, and learning those things are one of the things I enjoy most about doing this. I have two dogs, Koda and Kavik! My sister takes over while I am away. They both have plenty of quirks, but it makes them who they are and I wouldn’t trade it for the world. I’ve spent time from a few days to a month with dogs and cats, ranging from a single pet to four of each! All different types, sizes, and ages. Each and every one of them were a pleasure and I appreciate the trust that comes with having someone look after them and stay in your home! Please reach out for any further details or questions! I’m happy to answer and want to make sure you are comfortable. I currently have plenty of open time to spend with your animals! I have my own dogs, but live with family who share the caretaking responsibilities. I keep a safe and clean environment for your pets to roam or crate them if needed. I have experience administering medication and taking care of dogs and cats that need special attention and care. I like to take detailed notes and pictures on how you prefer your pet to be taken care of to make sure I’m taking care of them and on top of your pets needs.

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 .

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.
