“What a great sitter. Jeannine kept us informed about our little guy everyday. She came over a few weeks before to meet him and spend time with him (at no charge). She also brought our packages in so they didn’t sit out on the front porch. We will definitely rebook.”
“Sam is the best! I met with Sam before leaving for the week and saw how great she was with my cats. I received great feedback every day on her visit and the cats. She was consistent and super courteous, going above and beyond by keeping the kitchen swept, the cat dishes clean, and spending time with my cats. I highly recommend Sam to care for your fur babies!”
About: Hi I’m 26 years old! I have grown up around dogs all my life and I have always loved walking with them and getting to see what they find interesting. I promise that the walk will be focused on the dog not on just getting the walk over with. I have two dogs at my childhood home that I help take care of and walk whenever I am home, so I know the importance of a walk for a dog! I’m a teacher who has summers off! I’m hoping to fill my summer time with taking some great dogs for some nice walks. So my schedule is currently flexible and I am able to take your dog out during the work day! I’ll work during the school year but I’ll be more free during the summer for walks! I have a fenced in back yard at home that can allow dogs to run around without a leash. Something about dogs is that they can really benefit from a nice walk where they go at their own pace! That’s my goal for walking your dog, whether it’s slow walks or a light job, I’m here to help!
“We left our kitties with a pet sitter for the first time ever and Emily made us feel at ease about it! She was prompt, flexible and communicative! We are so happy we found her and will definitely be asking her to look after our cats again!”
About: I have been around pets my entire life! From dogs to cats to fish to hamsters, I love being around all animals. Growing up I've pet sat for friends and family countless of times. I have a sweet cat of my own and whenever I'm away I am always thinking and worrying about her. I understand the importance of leaving them with someone you trust and will care for them like their own. I would love to be that pet sitter for you! I am pretty available! I work from home majority of the week and am available early mornings, nights, and weekends. I am always willing to work with your schedule and will be up front and honest with what I can accommodate! I understand it can be intimidating to have someone new come into your home and care for your pet. My priority is to make sure both you and your pet are comfortable and following any instructions you leave me to a t.
About: Hi there! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for pups of all sizes and energy levels. My pet care journey began while working at a professional dog daycare/boarding kennel, where I gained experience with canine behavior, feeding schedules, and administering medication. That experience gave me a solid foundation in safety, structure, and understanding dogs’ unique needs. Outside of that, I’ve been the go-to dog sitter and walker for friends and family for years. Whether it’s overnight boarding or daily walks, I’m known for being reliable, punctual, and genuinely loving toward every dog I meet. I treat every pet like they’re my own—with lots of affection, attention, and tailored care. I pride myself on creating a safe, fun, and comforting environment whether your pup is boarding or just a walk around the block. You can count on me to communicate clearly, show up on time, and make sure your dog gets the love, exercise, and care they deserve. I’m currently a full time student & working part-time. I have open availability for dog walking Sunday-Thursday and after 3pm Friday & Saturday. Boarding availability can be discussed :) Whether I’m staying overnight or just spending the day, I’m committed to providing a calm, caring environment where your pup feels safe and loved. I treat every dog like family and always focus on their comfort, routine, and happiness.
About: As a dog owner myself, I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for someone’s pet. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable with dogs of different personalities and energy levels. I enjoy staying active and would love to help give your dog the exercise and attention they need throughout the day.😊 Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. I have a flexible schedule and am available throughout the week for walks and drop-in visits. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for. (Weekends: upon request) Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I’ll always pay close attention to your dog’s behavior, surroundings, and individual needs during walks and visits. I provide a calm, caring, and safe environment where your pup can feel comfortable and well cared for. I’ll also follow any specific instructions you provide so you can feel confident knowing your dog is in good hands.
“Lizzi was very helpful, did everything I asked for feeding and taking care of my two cats, and sent pictures daily. Made me feel very reassured while I was away. Thank you Lizzi!”
About: Hi there! I'm Sara and I am a fierce lover of animals. I am highly inclined towards gentle caregiving of all animals and I would be a great supporter of your pet's care needs! I have life-long experience caring for dogs of various sizes, and I am skilled at handling a bigger dog on a leash. I have a lot of patience for animals with special needs and more complex feeding and/or grooming routines. I also have a deep love for cats and have a lot of experience caring for a variety of breeds. I am skilled at grooming and medicating cats as well, and I have experience in helping to raise kittens. My schedule is currently very open and flexible. I am looking for a regular position as an animal caregiver, and I am willing to be flexible in maintaining the care schedule if I acquire any additional employment opportunities in the future. I am available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and some weekends! I am all about open communication when it comes to scheduling needs and conflicts, so please do not hesitate to reach out for a chat. When it comes to caring for pets in a client's home, I demonstrate the utmost respect in caring for the physical space in whatever ways requested by the client. I am happy to submit to any background check and can provide reliable references to attest to my commitment and trustworthiness. I have two cats and one of them is very afraid of dogs, however my house allows for a good deal of separation, so a discussion with the owner to establish boundaries for care within my own home is a priority. I have a fenced-in backyard and I am happy to bring clients' dogs over to play out in the yard, weather-permitting. Overall, I am very flexible and I look forward to discussing your needs in further detail!
“Jen has been incredibly helpful with drop-in visits/dog walking for our Yorki-poo, Bella. She is super sweet, is completely engaged with Bella the full visit, send me pictures and communicates after each visit. We feel very comfortable with having her in our home and helping us with our stubborn little girl! Bella is so happy when Jen comes to visit her!”
“This is my second time having Heather check in on my pup! She is so amazing! Always brings my pup, Kerby, little toys and treats! Kerby seems to love her too!! So thankful for her help!!”
“Lavina was great! She took care of our two cats while we were out of the country for our wedding. She provided regular updates and photos So we didn’t have to worry at all. Our cats really enjoyed having her stop by. We would definitely use her services again.”
“Carla did a great job watching our three cats. We had a tougher situation needing to separate one from the others but she did an excellent job communicating with us how they were doing and spending time with them!”
About: I have 1 cat at home and my partner has 1 dog who basically acts like a cat, so I am looking for an excuse to be around dogs (preferably <25 lbs) who may need some company. Friends and family have entrusted me with their pets for years (both for walks and overnight stays) and I take that responsibility incredibly seriously. I have a full-time hybrid position that has me at home on Mondays and Fridays with some flexibility from Tuesday - Thursday. On days when I am in the office, I will be home before 4:30pm for any afternoon feeding times. I am also available on weekends with advanced notice. I have a large unfenced yard and live less than a block away from a dedicated dog park. I have one small dog (15 lbs) and one cat who are happy to keep your pet company or can be kept in a different part of the house depending on your needs.
About: I have had pets my entire life. I currently have two rescue dogs and two rescue cats of my own. I will spoil your pet as if they were mine and I’m happy to provide photos and or videos during my visit. I work full-time, but with enough notice I can also work remotely and stay with your pet if needed during the day. I am also available for drop ins as needed. I currently am unable to care for pets in my own home due to my pets personalities but am happy to watch them in their home environment.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Berkley
We’ve had Hadley take care of Nini several times now, and we couldn’t be happier! She’s reliable, caring, and always takes great care of her. Nini already recognizes her before she even comes through the door and runs over to greet her, which says it all. We’re very happy to have found her and would absolutely recommend her!
She’s just outstanding! I have dogs with various medical needs and she makes sure that medications are given in time, helps with ambulation, makes sure both dogs have done their business and gives lots of attention and affection while I’m away. And is also seeing to the needs of my three cats, too! She’s got a lot to take care of every time she comes over to my house and I know everything will be taken care of. I highly recommend her! 😀
Camile did a great job with my three boys (dogs) while I was away on a work trip. She was very communicative and I could tell by her pictures that she was actually interacting and playing with them. I told her she could leave my reactive, shy boy locked up but she removed the gate and gave him a chance to come out on his own. On the second day he did!
Jessica was fantastic with our pup Nigel. He’s a nervous boy and usually takes a while to warm up to new people, but immediately liked her at the meet and greet! Jessica is always quick to respond, a great communicator, and sent detailed notes with cute pictures for each visit. Nigel also has a few special needs/requirements and she was more than accommodating, including giving him multiple medications and keeping an eye out for accidents. We felt super comfortable leaving Nigel in her care. She truly does care for each animal like they’re her own! We would definitely recommend her and will for sure book with her for future trips :)
Kylie did such an amazing job taking care of my boy. I was so worried to leave him because I hadn’t left him alone before but as soon as I met Kylie I knew he would be in good hands. She provided updates and photos of him and it made me feel better and able to enjoy my vacation. I would highly recommend her!

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.

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 .

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.
