“Autumn did a great job! She gave attention to all 5 cats, fed them and played with them. One cat needed a pill and the other an insulin injection. She did great and we would have her sit for us again!”
“Liz is an amazing person. Very polite and easy going. She is truly amazing with my puppy, and I can tell how much passion she has towards animals. I'm so grateful for meeting her. I would highly recommend her for any needs you might have in assistance with any of your loved ones!!!”
“Jenna communicates so well! Inga is a rescue who had a rough 2 years as a pup. It has taken Inga 14 years of TLC from us to get to where she is - lovable and sweet. Jenna is experienced and knows how to approach Inga and win her over her affection. Kudos to Jenna❣️”
About: If your pet could choose their sitter, I’m hoping they’d pick the person who is already excited to meet them! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the furry members of the family. I haven’t been able to have pets of my own for a while, so I’ve happily adopted my friends’ cats and dogs instead—affectionately calling them my **“furry nieces and nephews.”** I’m the person who wants to hear all about their personality, remembers their favorite treats, and is perfectly happy spending an unreasonable amount of time giving them attention. Last year, I took that love a step further and volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I spent my time walking and caring for dogs. I absolutely loved it and realized that getting to know different animals—and figuring out what makes each one comfortable and happy—is something I genuinely enjoy. What I think sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as simply stopping by to feed a pet and check a box. **I want your pet to actually have a good time while you’re away.** Whether that means a long sniff-filled walk, an energetic game of fetch, a cozy afternoon of cuddles, or simply sitting nearby for a nervous pet who needs some company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Every animal has their own personality, quirks, routines, and preferences, and I love getting to know them. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled—and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’m looking for a flexible way to spend more time doing something I genuinely love, and I’d be thrilled to add your pets to my ever-growing list of furry nieces and nephews. ❤️🐶🐱 One of the best things about my schedule is that I work two part-time jobs, and both are very flexible. This allows me to build pet care into my day and offer visits at different times rather than being tied to a traditional 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, with even more flexibility on the weekends. I can also make multiple visits throughout the day when your pet needs a little extra attention. My typical availability looks like: Mondays & Wednesdays: I have the most flexibility and can usually stop by up to three times throughout the day. Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays: These days are a little busier, but I can still provide a morning visit and an evening visit after 4 PM. Weekends: I have more flexibility and can make multiple visits throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and location. I know every pet has a different routine, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat needs a quick morning check-in, some evening playtime, or multiple visits throughout the day, I have the flexibility to make it work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for a pet in their home, I treat their space and routine with the same respect I would want for my own home and animals. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, litter box or potty routines, favorite toys, hiding spots, and any quirks or behaviors I should know about. I know that cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m also very mindful of home security. I make sure doors are securely closed, follow any instructions regarding alarms or entry, and am careful with windows, doors, and anything else your pet might get into. I’ll never leave a pet in an unsafe situation or do anything outside of the care instructions you’ve provided. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that someone trustworthy is looking after your pet and your home. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi there! Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have two Catahoula/Pitbull mixes and 4 cats. I also have been fostering for a local rescue since 2019. I have a flexible schedule and will go out of my way to accommodate your needs. I have experience with administering medications and treatments and handling special needs animals. I have worked through years of training with my dogs and have experience dealing with fearful and reactive dogs. In my spare time I enjoy walking our dogs and continuing training with them. I strongly believe animals should be treated with the same amount of love, respect and compassion as a person. In my home, our pets are family! I will go to great lengths to ensure your pet is as comfortable and happy as possible and treated as part of the family! Any questions, please feel free to reach out! I can be available for last minutes needs whether it’s stopping by for potty breaks and feeding or boarding over a long period of time. I have a fenced in yard and have fur babies to keep yours company! I have experience administering medications and understand how hard it can be leaving your pets while on vacation or while at work. All pets have different needs and I’m willing to work with you to ensure their happiness.
“Miah is fantastic! We can trust our pets are well taken care of. She is reliable and responsive and we can recommend her for a drop by or overnight sit. She will be our go-to sitter when we need to be gone.”
“Casey was wonderful with our two dogs! She was not just helpful but also extremely caring and respectful. Our older dachshund requires a bit more attention and Casey was so patient with him. She sent us timely updates and lots of photos during her visits and we could tell how comfortable they both were with her. She was great to communicate with and really put our minds at ease while being away from our dogs. We cannot recommend Casey enough and would love to have her come see the boys again soon!”
“Darlene was a perfect match for our pup Daphne. Darlene is down-to-earth and it’s clear she’s worked around animals for a long time, and knows what to do. Daphne is a 14-week old puppy and Darlene knew exactly the kind of attention she needed. Darlene kept us updated with photos and explained each visit.”

Pups come first and I always ask the client if they need anything additional done around the house. I don’t mind cleaning or helping out. I can take care of other animals such as hamsters, Guinea pigs, reptiles, birds, fish, etc. before leaving a clients house I make sure all doors are locked, the pups are good & settled and the home is secure before heading out. For clients to feel comfortable I do take lots of pictures and videos of their pup and if they want to FaceTime their pup I’m fine with that too.
About: Hi, I'm Emma. I have had animals of all different sizes since I was born. From big and small dogs, bunnies, horses, and fish. I've helped take care of my neighbors pets since I can remember, and I've even helped a few with training them as well! I'm currently in school to become a veterinarian, and I work at one during the weekdays. I would love to meet your fur baby and treat him/her just like my own! I'm currently working part- time at a veterinarian hospital so I can do early morning, mid afternoon, or after 7 pm walks or drop ins. I love keeping pets both physically and mentally stimulated, I think it's very important to keep their brains just as healthy as their bodies. I love going on runs so for those more high energy fur babies I'm able to go on runs from 1-2 miles. And for our not as high energy fur babies I can go up to 3 mile walks. For your senior babies I'll go nice and slow with them, and we can just stroll at their own pace!

Cassandra was spectacular with our Bonnie. We met before her first drop in visit to give Bonnie and Cassandra an opportunity to meet before we were away. Cassandra was SO attentive when she would visit and Bonnie appreciated it more than ever. She’s a very social cat so people are important even on a short trip. Cassandra provided that love and attention while also making sure Bonnie’s needs were met- litter box change, water/food refill, etc.

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.
