“Marcy has WONDERFUL communication skills. She’s very thorough with all the details and makes sure your pet is comfortable. I appreciated all the extra details, like taking in packages and offering to take care of plants. She’s a fantastic hire and we’d be happy to have her watch Rosie again ❤️”
“Jessica puts so much love and care towards the animals she takes care of. She treats your pets as if they're her own. Usually I'm worried about my cats when I'm traveling but this time I felt like I could relax. I knew they were in good hands!”
“Jennifer was great. We booked her last mnute as our family member could no longer watch them. She came over early morning to do a quick meet and greet. She did everything we asked her to do. I loved the photos.”
About: I have extensive experience working with dogs and have trained over 300 dogs, as well as walked and cared for many more throughout my adult life. Before moving to the U.S., I completed certification in behavioral dog training in Canada. I've worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities, and I'm especially comfortable with dogs who are shy, skittish, stubborn, or slow to warm up. I love earning a dog's trust, and the hesitant ones often end up becoming some of my biggest fans! I'm also a dog owner myself. My dog is extremely social, well-mannered, and excellent on leash. When it's a good fit for both dogs, she can be a wonderful walking companion and can help model calm, confident behavior and good leash manners. Of course, I'm also completely comfortable caring for dogs individually when that's what they prefer. My training background means I pay close attention to canine body language and behavior, and I'm happy to reinforce the training, boundaries, and routines you already use at home. I also have experience caring for cats, birds, reptiles, fish, and other pets. Whether your pet is outgoing and ready to make a new friend or needs some extra patience and space, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I plan my schedule carefully so pets receive consistent attention, timely walks, feeding, and care without feeling rushed. I am currently a student online, so my schedule is flexible. I follow each pet’s routine closely and respect established walking, feeding, and training preferences. I can maintain structured routines or focus on play and enrichment, depending on what your pet responds to best. Safety, consistency, and clear communication are always my priorities.
“Daphne did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and cats while we were out of town! She and her daughter checked on them several times a day and went above and beyond to give them plenty of love, attention, and care. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such good hands and would absolutely trust them with our pets again. We highly recommend Daphne!”
“Allie went above and beyond during her drop in visits for our two cats. She gave us detailed descriptions of each visit and plenty of great photos. She even tidied up their litter areas and cleaned their wet food bowls after they were fed. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands while we were out of town.”
“Marissa was fantastic at working with us to accommodate a very busy couple of weeks. She was super helpful and flexible, feeding and treating our pup. Would definitely recommend!”
About: I do online school so very open schedule, I will be providing frequent updates, routine focused, and provide care directly in the clients home which ensures a stress free environment. Manage client drop offs, establish a set schedule and routine for the animal, and follow through with that routine. As well as keeping my clients happy. Stick strictly to the owners care plan, keep schedules such as feeding or walking exactly as requested, and double check all doors are locked before leaving.
“Sarah-Beth does daily drop-ins with my puppy, and it’s been wonderful. She leaves great notes (and hysterical photos of the puppy’s antics), and she is super responsive. So glad to have her there to check in on the pup while I’m at work.”
About: Lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, from energetic large breeds to tiny companions. As a current pet parent to a Siberian Husky and caregiver for a very small Siamese cat, there is daily practice managing different needs, temperaments, and energy levels under one roof. This background supports providing calm, confident care tailored to each pet’s size and personality. Pet care already is a part of my daily routine, so being able to extend that to other animals/families in the community is rewarding. I currently am in-between full time roles as I was a part of corporate layoffs in the past year, so my time is quite flexible. Consistency and intentionality are what I’ve always leaned on when working with animals, whether they be my own or others. Your home should be left better than when I arrived.
About: Family, friends and neighbors have relied on me for nearly 10 years to care for their pets. I offer peace of mind knowing your pet is in capable hands. I’m attentive to detail and happy to follow your pet’s regular routine to ensure consistency while you’re away and will gladly provide updates. Whether you need someone while you are at work, for a few weeks or last-minute, I can help. I am open to working with your schedule. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I give my own. I follow your pet’s routines closely to ensure consistency while you’re away, ensure your pet feels safe and loved and keep things neat and tidy. At this time, I don't have the space to care for pets at my home.
“Thanks, Andru, for watching Riley again and taking such good care of him. Appreciate the care and concern you provide for him and the peace of mind that affords us when we travel. Highly recommended Andru!”
“Janet was wonderful with our Bella. We received daily reports of her well-being, and she sent lots of pictures. When we arrived home, it was very apparent that Bella was well cared for. Thank you for your services.”
About: I have a pup of my own her name is Ellie she’s about 5 years old now and she’s just the sweetest and acts like a puppy still but I figured hey why not get paid to dog sit as well, animals normally love me and I’ve never had problems with them getting used to me either! I currently have a job at Dairy Queen and I work either 11-5 or 5-10:30, I am currently looking for another job so that could change soon but I’m more than willing to put in that extra effort to be at the house when needed! We give our Ellie plenty of love and affection feed her twice a day and play fetch with her a lot, she LOVES squeaky toys and tennis balls the most and she’s the most friendly loving dog ever! And I’m more than happy to share the love with your dog!

Beth is friendly and really knows cat personalities! Super helpful in my case with a young energetic large male and a tiny elderly female that do not do well together. She did not even blink an eye when I explained what needed to be done while I was gone. I have had trust issues with pet sitters in the past, but I think my trust has been regained!
Rebekah was so easy to work with. She did a fabulous job taking care iof our two kitties, Stuart and Cheech. I appreciated the time she spent with them, giving them their treats and playing with them with their rope and taking care of any mishaps that might have happened (hairballs). She showed great respect for our home and pets by asking if her son could come along, which was no problem, but I appreciated she asked first. We came home to happy relaxed cats. Rebekah was reliable, trustworthy and did a great job communicating . Would use Rebekah again and would recommend her to others.
Marcy has WONDERFUL communication skills. She’s very thorough with all the details and makes sure your pet is comfortable. I appreciated all the extra details, like taking in packages and offering to take care of plants. She’s a fantastic hire and we’d be happy to have her watch Rosie again ❤️

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.

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 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.
