“Donnis is incredible! My yorkie, Halo absolutely loved and adored her. Donnis was really sweet to my girl, took her on walks, played with her, fed her, and made sure she feels loved even though I was away for a really long time. Donnis was also super flexible with my hectic schedule. I would book Donnis again every time!”
“Taylor was great with our pups and left the house as she found it. She sent me pics of the pups and was easy to communicate with. Our vacation was unfortunately cut short because of a Hurricane and she helped me immensely with changing the reservation.”
“Once again Amber took great care of our fur babies and our home. She kept us updated and sent pictures frequently. She will be our first choice anytime we need a sitter. Thank you for the piece of mind we have when away.”
“Daniel is a rock star dog and house sitter! He took great care of our two dogs over the Christmas holiday and sent us updates with photos twice a day. When we returned, the house looked just like we left it and our dogs were happy and looked well cared for. We definitely plan to contact him for any future dog sitting needs.”
“Jody was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our 4 dogs and cat with such care and attention to detail. She was reliable, communicated well, and made our first experience with Rover a breeze. We will definitely be booking her services again in the future. Highly recommend Jody for all your pet sitting needs! 5 stars all the way!”
“Having Kim stay with our pup was truly a wonderful experience for us. We've boarded him several times and not been convinced he received the best of care. But, being able to leave him with Kim, such a caring sitter, in familar surroundings worked out beautifully. Kim kept us informed of his routine, his eating and his exercise and sent us pictures daily. We highly recommend Kim and so appreciate her care.”
“They were very kind and attentive to all of the care instructions for our three pups! All of our dogs loved them and seemed very happy and well cared for when we got home. They left our home nice and clean as well. Would definitely rebook with them :)”
“I highly recommend Eric! As a pet sitter myself, it’s tough leaving your beloved animals with someone else, but Eric took wonderful care of our two rescue dogs and one rescue cat. He provided daily updates with pictures … and we came back to happy animals and a clean home😊 Do yourself a favor and book him!”
About: Growing up on a farm I learned to care for animals ranging from big to small. I’ve had dogs in my family since I was around 6 years old, I currently have 3 dogs . I’m currently working from home which leads me to have plenty of time to stop in and take care of your pets whenever you need. Whenever I will be sitting for you , your dogs safety will be my top priority. I’m experienced in dog walking and dog sitting .
“Taryn was really sweet throughout the whole process and our two dogs seemed to respond well to her. Her photos of the dogs during her stay were endearing and showed that she formed a great relationship with them.”
“If you are looking for a sitter who can handle a literal zoo with grace, look no further! We threw a lot at Barbara—dogs, cats, mini donkeys, and even a goat—and she handled them all like a pro. But the real test was our pig. To be fair, she had zero 'swine experience' going in, and our pig definitely knew it. He made it his mission to drive her absolutely bananas, but she didn’t crack! She was patient, attentive, and somehow managed to keep everyone happy and fed. It’s not every day you find someone willing to referee a pig while making sure the donkeys get their ear scratches. We came home to a very calm farm and happy animals. We’ll definitely be booking her again—if the pig hasn't scared her off for good”
“I was very nervous about going on vacation for five days leaving my animals, but I found Abigail on Rover and she was absolutely amazing. I’ve told my friends about her. She took very good care of my animals. I would definitely recommend her. She gave me detailed information and updates on my babies. Thank you Abigail. You are the best.”
About: As a devoted pet owner, I share my life with two amazing dogs: a sweet senior pup named Cookie, who is 12 years old and has a calm, gentle spirit, and a playful, energetic puppy named Roscoe, my lively puppy who keeps me on my toes with his boundless energy. Together, they’ve taught me so much about patience, playfulness, and unconditional love—and they’re my inspiration for becoming a trusted dog walker and sitter. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I make sure to wake up early to give my dogs their morning walk and some playtime. Throughout the day, I set aside breaks for feeding, training, and cuddles. By the evening, we have a wind-down routine—more gentle walks and lots of bonding time—so they fit in seamlessly with my schedule. At home, I care for my pets by making sure they have a structured routine. I provide them with regular meals, fresh water, and daily exercise. It’s all about balance, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and stimulated every day.
“I am someone who is very anxious to leave my dogs with other people. I trusted them with Laura and I cannot recommend her enough. She house sat, my dogs were so well taken care of, she is very communicative, sent pictures multiple times a day and gave constant updates. It put me at ease. I will be reaching out to her again in the future for dog care.”
“Morgan was amazing with our pet family members! Her attention to detail and sending us pictures and videos of how well our dogs were adjusting in our absence gave us great peace of mind. I highly recommend Morgan’s expertise and pet sitting. We will be using her services again when needed in the future.”
“After my regular sitter cancelled because of family issues I was lucky to find Ariel. She came before the days I needed for a meet n greet. Both of my Boys were fighting over her attention as soon as she got here. I will definitely use her again. My boys are spoiled and love cuddle time. One is a “talker” and she sis great with both.”
“Savannah is an absolute gem! She recently took care of our 3 pups and our home while we spent a week at the beach, and she went above and beyond! She made sure we were updated on how the pups were doing and actively looked for ways to help us around our home to make our return so much easier. Our pups were so happy when we came home, we could tell they received so much TLC. Highly recommend!”
“Overall, Alexis did great with Stormee. From the pictures, Stormee seemed well taken care of and very comfortable. Alexis played with Stormee and cuddled with her. I also appreciate her communication about anything that came up, either with Stormee or the apartment. She also dealt with Stormee’s heart condition well.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Between
This was my first experience hiring a pet sitter and I was going to away for over a week and had four pets being watched in my home. Well let me say that Donnis completely blew it outta the water!!! 20/10 best pet sitter!! I will never going to anyone else!! Donnis is extremely communicative and accommodating, especially when last minute I had an addition to the booking. Donnis checked in every single day with an update and pictures! She kept to their routine well and I know my fur babies felt comfortable and loved having Donnis here. My scaredy-cat even came out of hiding early on! Donnis is the absolute best! I’m so grateful this was such a wonderful first experience! 💐💐💐
Addison did a great job with our three dogs! She stayed at our house and took care of them for 6 nights. She made sure our older dog took his meds and took our younger dogs for walks daily to provide them with the exercise they're used to. She also left the house in good shape.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Between walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Between maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
<b>Tip:</b> Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Between choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
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.
