“Kelsey is caring and competent. She took great care of our two 60lb dogs and when we came home everything was spick and span. She overcame two challenges with ease. I highly recommend her services.”
“Deborah took care of my pets for 4 days while we were out of town. We received notifications on her arrival and when she left along with pictures of our pets. Deborah communicated with us and let us know how they were doing and responding with her. This gave us great peace of mind and we knew they were happy and being well taken care of. Deborah was a true gift to us and we appreciate her! Thank you Deborah!! This was our first experience using Rover and feel it is set up very well with communication between the petsitter and us, verifying our pets care and ease in payment too.”
“Kyra checked in on my two shy cats, and they actually came out to see her! She did a wonderful job and even cleaned up when one of the cats threw up. Thank you Kyra! I will definitely be booking again!”
“We have been working with Meghan since we moved to Hoboken and can’t imagine leaving our three cats with anyone more caring. Meghan also takes care of a 50 gallon fish tank for us. On our last time away, she contacted us to let us know it was making strange sounds and fixed it for us with our help, saving the fish! You can tell she cares deeply for all animals, and our cats love her.”
“Anthony was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior Golden Retriever! He went above and beyond to make sure our sweet boy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He took him on walks, gave him extra attention, and truly treated him like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Anthony was thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with our dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him! We are so grateful for everything Anthony did and will absolutely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their pets! ❤️🐾”
About: I have a true genuine passion for pet sitting. I have always loved and never bored with wanting to care for others pets. I understand that each pet is a part of a family and should be treated as such. I have a few years of experience working in a pet hospital and many references, many including coworkers that understand I would love their pets as if they were my own. I have a full time 8-5 job however, my job is flexible with me taking longer lunch breaks if your pet requires frequent potty breaks and the distance is not far. I will also check on them before and after in addition to overnight if needed. N/A, I don't pet sit at my own place because I rent and they charge extra for that as well as I believe most pets feel comfortable in the safety of their own home.
About: I’m a nurse, wife, mom, and lifelong dog lover! We have three dogs of our own: a 65-pound Vizsla, a 6-pound Maltipoo, and a 9-pound Yorkie, so I’m pretty familiar with everything from big personalities to little attitudes! I’ve always been the person friends and family call when they need someone to watch their dogs, and I genuinely enjoy it. I know how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pets, and I’ll make sure yours feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’m a nurse working remote with a flexible schedule, which allows me to make time for drop-in visits throughout the week. I’m happy to stop by to feed your pets, let them outside, play with them, or just give them some attention while you’re away. I know how important it is to keep pets on their normal routine! House Sitting (Non-Overnight): I provide extended daytime care in your home rather than overnight stays. A typical day includes an extended daytime stay (approximately 9 AM–2 PM) plus an evening check-in around 7 PM. I work remotely, so I’m able to spend several hours keeping your pets company while I work. I return to my own home overnight. Exact timing can be discussed at the meet & greet. Having three dogs of my own, I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I’ll follow your instructions, respect your home, and make sure your pets are comfortable and well cared for during every visit. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know how everyone is doing while you’re away!
“Karen is great and our cat loves her. Karen takes pics and is super responsive. We’ve used her multiple times. She also lives in our same apartment which works out great. Would very much recommend her A+++++”
“Taylor is wonderful with our pet family. She won over my very shy and scared Sheltie in an instant. She is very caring and helpful if we needed anything. I highly recommend Taylor!”
“Paislee took good care of my pups during both drop-in visits. She communicated any issues or concerns very well and promptly. She even visited the day before to come meet the dogs and learn where things were and such!”
About: I will show your animal the General love and care as I give my own! I love dogs and cats and would love to care for them when you’re unable to! I love giving lovings and napping with the animals they love cuddling in the bed together! I work full time Monday through Friday typically but am very willing to work around those hours to care for your loves! I typically am free in the evenings and can wake up earlier to take care of your babies if needed before work. I treat everyone’s home with respect. I know it is sometimes uneasy trusting someone new as some people have no respect for others and their belongings rest assured with me your house will be in the same condition you left it in!
“Bobby did a fantastic job dropping in to take care of our two German Shepherds. We used him for 3 days total and he dropped in as requested. He came an extra time just to make sure they were well taken care of and were able to use the bathroom. We will be using Bobby going forward for all our needs as long as he is available and will have us. When he came to drop off the garage door opener, the two of them went sprinting for him. They were barking in a high playful pitch because they loved him so much. Highly recommend!!!”
“I’m so grateful for the care Kanese gave my dog while we were away for a week. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pup’s well being. I loved getting photo updates and could tell my dog was happy, comfortable, and well taken care of. It gave me real peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my background in healthcare and my natural attention to detail. As a nursing student and soon-to-be hospital worker, I’m very experienced in providing attentive, compassionate care — which easily carries over to how I care for pets. I’m patient, reliable, and comfortable following detailed care instructions, including administering medications if needed. I also have experience with both young, energetic pets and senior pets who may need a little extra gentleness and support. I genuinely love building a bond with every animal I care for, treating them like family while keeping their safety, happiness, and well-being my top priority. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I truly enjoy spending time with animals. I am a nursing student who will be starting a hospital job on May 12, working from 3 PM to 11:30 PM. Until then, I have open availability to care for pets. Even after I begin work, I’ll be available during mornings, early afternoons, and late nights for check-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I start classes on May 27, but I only have one in-person class from 12–1 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays, leaving plenty of time to dedicate to caring for pets. I’m responsible, nurturing, and attentive—qualities that come naturally from my healthcare background—and I will treat your pets like they are my own. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I make sure to follow any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication administration, and any special routines or preferences. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior to make sure they are happy, comfortable, and safe. I also love giving pets plenty of playtime, affection, and exercise based on their energy level. Cleanliness and safety are important to me, so I always make sure their space stays clean, and I update owners regularly with messages and photos for peace of mind. With my nursing background, I’m very detail-oriented and comfortable providing extra care if needed.
About: I have been a pet owner since I was 14 years old. Family members have also allowed me to pet sit their fur babies with regular walks, feedings, and required medication needs. I have two senior dogs myself and understand the dynamics of the extra care and needs they require. I am currently seeking a career change for something that brings me joy, which is ofcourse fur babies. I am willing to discuss any clients times/days that work for both of our needs With effective communication of your pups needs I can provide a safe and happy environment while you are away. This can vary from food, medications, walks, temperament concerns, and etc.
About: Right off of 72 if heading this way! Stay at home mom that has a house on a half acre with plenty of land for running around living in the country. We love having new dog friends, come over and play . My schedule is very flexible. I’m a stay at home mother of two. Home all week plus weekends all day. Super reliable. Last minute availability always. I have animals myself that are super friendly, and would love some playmates to keep them company. Also have two dog parks near me. Dog friendly home.
“Allison did such a great job caring for our 2 dogs and cat while we were away! She was reliable, trustworthy, and communicated very effectively. We got lots of pictures and updates, so we never had to worry and we knew our girls were in great hands. We highly recommend Allison and will definitely use her again in the future!”
About: have owned and cared for dogs throughout my entire adult life, giving me hands-on experience with training, behavior, exercise, and daily care needs. I have also taken animal nutrition courses and am currently pursuing my master’s degree in animal behavior, which enhances my understanding of how dogs learn, communicate, and thrive. Available weekdays. 7a to 7p some weekends and holidays. For over night needs I can make multiple visits as needed. Concierge service. More hours as needed. I am able to come to your home and take care of any of your pets needs like walking or feeding. I am willing to help however I am needed.

Kayla was wonderful to check in on our pup while we were away! She really put our minds at ease by making sure to become familiar with her personality and patterns. She went above and beyond to consistently communicate how she was doing and really went the extra mile to take extra great care of her!
Cynthia is an absolutely wonderful sitter! She is respectful, kind, and genuinely caring. She sent daily photos and videos of our cat, which gave us so much peace of mind. Thanks to her, our vacation was completely worry-free. We will definitely book with her again—highly recommend! 💖

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.
