“Lindsay was able to come feed our cats and fix our auto-feeder on extremely short notice while we were away. The cats loved her, including our little black cat who is usually afraid of strangers. She was super nice and very communicative. Thank you Lindsay!”
“Jake is an outstanding pet sitter who consistently goes above and beyond. During his drop-in visits for my cats, he showed genuine care and concern when he couldn’t locate my shy kitty, patiently trying several approaches to make sure everything was okay. He was always courteous, professional, and highly communicative, providing thoughtful updates during each visit. I had complete peace of mind knowing my cats were in such capable hands. I highly recommend Jake and will continue to book him! — A Very Pleased Repeat Customer”
“Caitlyn was amazing! She cared for my two cats like they were her own! Her check ins were thorough and consistent, and she even went above and beyond by cleaning up a hair ball one of them left. I highly recommend Caitlyn and will be using her again next time I go out of town!”
“Shaina did an amazing job taking care of my two kitties while I was gone for three weeks. She gave them lots of attention, play time, and grooming, and kept them happy and well fed. I was also pleasantly surprised with how much she went above and beyond to keep the litter box area tidy and vacuum up the fur they were shedding everywhere. She gave me plenty of updates, photos, and videos, and was always super responsive to text messages. I will absolutely request her services next time and highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their fur babies!”
“Reagan was great! She did drop-in visits for our cats while we were on vacation and handled everything perfectly. She followed all of our instructions and sent quick replies to our messages. Our cats loved her. We would definitely book her again!”
“Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have a bit too much time on my hands and love animals. I've cared for dogs and cats for many years as a volunteer. I'm a complete pacifist and have too much love in my heart not to share it with more animals! I work part time in retail so my schedule is very variable. What's great about that is that I have availability all day some days! However, i don't have weekends off. I will treat your place with respect and cater to your pets' needs. They will be very loved and entertained. I don't offer my home for services.
“Maria and her husband came to our meet&greet/key handover and my dogs fell in love…. Visits went v well-on time/sent pix&texts… and doggies happy and content when I came back home”
“I am glad my cat Dorita is also making friends with Richard and coming around more when he goes check on her! Richard takes care of my dog and cat both and he has been great so helpful to us!”
“Eronda was such a caring and loving person whit my maxis, I’m sure they loved to spend this time whit her. She send me updates and pictures everyday after a walk and I can say they were calm, pampered and very happy. Thank you so much Eronda, there’s no better feeling than to know your furry babies are safe and having some love ❤️.”
About: Look no further for a responsible, loving companion for your pet. I love every animal as if it were my own. I have a senior small dog of my own, and before that I had experience walking and caring for my neighbors' dogs when I was younger. Outside of Rover, I have multiple clients I regularly house-sit for with pups of all ages/sizes. I've also volunteered with shelter dogs! I also have experience with other animals if required. In my home I have 3 wonderful cats as well as my dog! I've worked with rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, and am eager to learn about anything else. My top passion is pets. My availability is flexible, but I prefer a heads up at least a week in advance to coordinate accordingly. I am also a trained groomer, so I have experience in all grooming aspects, dog handling, and dog body language. My own pup is reactive, so I am incredibly comfortable and confident in handling your pet if they have behavioral issues as well. DISCLAIMER: I require a meet and greet prior to any daycare stays in my home, for everyone's comfort. Everyone's safety is of the utmost importance, including your pets' and mine. While one of my cats is very elusive, the other loves dogs and so does my dog! I am great about fitting some care into my day even on shorter notice. My routine is usually just hanging out at home and popping out to grab a coffee a few times, so I'm available to your pet nearly 24/7! Please let me know any special care instructions! Unless otherwise stated, I always let pups out every couple of hours, feed once a day and always give fresh water. Some dogs prefer to be leashed when outside but others will go on their own so please notify me of your preference! My main priority is keeping your pet happy and safe.
About: Caring for pets has always been part of my life, not just something I do, but something I truly love. I share my home with my big-hearted Golden Retriever Lucy Goose who brings joy, structure, and a lot of personality into my daily routine. Through her—and the many pets I’ve cared for—I’ve gained hands-on experience with feeding schedules, daily walks, playtime, enrichment, medications, and recognizing subtle changes in behavior or health. I’ve also had the joy of hosting pets with special needs, recently including a vivacious little pug puppy with epilepsy. Providing a calm, consistent, and loving environment is something I take pride in. Every pet in my care is treated with patience, respect, and genuine affection—just like one of my own. While away, your pet is my family and I am fiercely protective of my family. Hi, I’m Jess! I’m a lifelong animal lover and dog mom to a sweet Golden Retriever who’s very much part of my everyday life. Caring for pets is something that feels natural to me—it’s woven into my daily routine, not something squeezed in as an afterthought. My Lucy Goose is a large Golden Retriever with the sweetest, most gentle “little dog energy.” She’s very social, kind, and welcoming, and does wonderfully with dogs of all sizes. She has happily shared her space with smaller dogs and special-needs pets, and all interactions are always supervised to ensure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I work during the week for about 6–8 hours a day, and outside of that time my life revolves around walks, fresh air, playtime, and creating a calm, loving home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, and I’m intentional about making sure every pet in my care gets plenty of attention, affection, and consistency. I treat every pet like they’re my own—learning their quirks, honoring their routines, and making sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Whether your pet loves long walks, backyard playtime, or quiet companionship, I’m happy to meet them right where they are. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment where pets can truly relax. My home includes a fully fenced backyard for secure outdoor play, and I supervise pets closely throughout the day. I also have a few pup gates to ensure safe calm and private pet feedings or if quiet time is needed. I also use cameras for added peace of mind and awareness while I am out and about. Whether pets are in my home or yours, I follow routines carefully, respect boundaries, and keep a watchful eye on behavior, comfort, and wellbeing. I communicate openly and provide updates because I know how reassuring it is to see your pet happy and cared for.
“Caralyn is an amazing petsitter!! She is super kind and caring. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my cats are happy while I’m gone, taking lots of time to play with them and give them treats. It’s a huge relief knowing that my kitties are in good hands while I’m away!!”
“I booked last minute and Madelyn did such a great job with my boy! She was so accommodating to my few extra requests and the pictures show my boy felt safe and comfortable with her. Luca would love to see her again!”
“Great care for my sick kitty cat! MK make a point to come over before I left so we could connect and she could meet Mari. MK made sure Mari took her medicine, which was very much appreciated.”
About: **My Dog Care Experience 🐶🐾** Dogs have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember! My love for dogs began in second grade when I got my first dog, and that love has continued to grow ever since. I’m now the proud pet parent of my own dog of 7 years, who is very loved, spoiled, and pampered! I know firsthand that dogs are family, and they deserve to be treated with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. Over the years, I’ve gained experience caring for and watching multiple dogs at a time. I’m comfortable providing attentive, reliable, and timely care while making sure each dog receives the attention they need. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, companionship, or sticking to a specific routine, I understand how important consistency and individualized care are for keeping dogs happy and comfortable. I know that leaving your furry family member with someone else requires trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. Whether your pup loves long walks, playing with their favorite toys, getting endless belly rubs, or simply relaxing with some company, I’m happy to make their time with me as enjoyable as possible! Your dog will be treated like family, with plenty of love, attention, and care! ❤️🐕 **Pet Care That Fits My Schedule 🐾** I currently have a busy weekday schedule, but I’m happy to dedicate my available time to caring for your furry family members! I’m available on weekends, Tuesdays after 6:00 PM, and Fridays after 5:00 PM. I strive to be reliable, punctual, and attentive to your pet’s needs, and I’m happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for both of us. My goal is to provide loving, dependable care while ensuring your pet’s routine and comfort remain a priority! I provide attentive, loving, and dependable care tailored to each pet’s individual needs, personality, and routine. In my clients’ homes, I follow their instructions closely to maintain consistency with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and any other agreed-upon care needs. I want pets to feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their familiar environment while their owners are away. As a pet parent myself, I understand that pets are family! I have my own dog of seven years who is very loved and pampered, and I treat every pet in my care with that same level of attention and affection. I prioritize safety, patience, and communication with pet parents, including updates and photos so they can feel comfortable knowing their pets are in good hands. My goal is to make sure every pet receives reliable, individualized care and plenty of love while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ben Avon
With my usual pet sitter unavailable, I needed to find another to do drop-in visits for my two cats while I was on vacation for a week. Makala was quick to respond and graciously accommodated my request on shorter notice! She kept me well-informed throughout the week and went above and beyond to make sure my kitties were cared for while I was away. I highly recommend her!
Letting a stranger into your home is always unnerving, and trusting them with your fur babies can be genuinely scary. When you combine the two, it can feel like a recipe for disaster. However, Cara completely put our minds at ease. She provided daily drop-in visits for our two senior boys, Ezekiel and Garoche, and our young girl, Molly. Cara was meticulous, she kept Ezekiel’s medication on a strict schedule and ensured the litter boxes were scooped daily. The highlight for us, though, were the daily photos; seeing those happy faces was the perfect reassurance while we were away. When we returned from our two-week cruise, we were greeted by happy cats rather than 'grumpy' ones who felt neglected! We knew from our initial meet-and-greet that Cara was the right choice for our little treasures. We highly recommend her and will definitely be booking her again!
We booked Alexis for drop in visits for our 13 year old cat Chloe for a week. This is the first time we’ve booked outside of family or friends so we were a little nervous. After meeting Alexis I immediately felt comfortable. Her daily updates with pictures were great! And looking at the pictures, I could tell Chloe was happy and well taken care of. We would definitely book with Alexis again,
Taylor has walked Rocco for about two years while I’ve had work assignments in downtown Pittsburgh. He loves her. She always goes above and beyond and has helped us find alternate walkers if she’s away. Unfortunately we’re moving north, but would continue using her without reservation.
It was so nice to have Jennifer looking after our cat. She showed up every day with pictures and commentary on hour things were going at home. This was our first time using Rover but we'll be using it again in the future. It provided us so much peace of mind during our travels.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
