“Rachael was so wonderful! She took such great care of Barley and left very detailed notes about her visit which we appreciated. We look forward to Rachel coming to care for our pup again!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs and cats growing up and now own a dog myself. I have many years of experience taking care of animals. Pet care is apart of my everyday life. I have my own dog so she fits into my schedule before and after work and on the weekends! When caring for pets during drop in visits, I do my best to follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable, safe, and secure while you’re not there. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of attention, and the care they need during each visit. For dogs, I offer walks, potty breaks, playtime, and lots of affection. For cats, I provide feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, and a little playtime. I am also comfortable administering medications. I love keeping pet parents updated, so I provide photos and messages after visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and provide reliable, loving care whenever you can’t be there.
About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.
“Stephen is kind, prompt and really seemed to care about my aging dog Max. He had to give him an injection and several medication’s each visit. As long as you give him good instructions he’ll follow them to the “T”. Highly recommended.”
About: I grew up with German Shepherds and have always loved being around dogs. I currently have a small Pomeranian, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs, whether it’s going for a relaxing walk, an energetic run, or simply giving them plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, caring, and will treat your dog like one of my own! I work full-time from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. During the week, I’m available before and after work for walks, drop-ins, and care. On weekends, I’m available throughout the entire day and can be flexible to accommodate your dog’s routine and needs. Your dog’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. I provide a calm, caring, and secure environment where every dog can feel comfortable and loved. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, energy level, and individual needs, and I always follow your instructions regarding walks, feeding, medication, and routines. I believe trust is built through clear communication, reliability, and treating every pet with patience, respect, and genuine care.
“Betty watched our cats while we were out of town and took such good care of them- we really appreciate her attention to detail and consideration- she even brought in a few Amazon packages which were left outside. We’re thankful to have found such a good pet sitter- thank you Betty!”
“We are glad we found Tristan, he is very nice, but most importantly he is very good with our pups, he made them feel very comfortable from the day we did our meet and greet, i knew right away i wont have to worry about our pups while we were away, Tristan took very good care of our pups and we would definitely use him again.”
About: Hi there, I’m Angelina! I’ve had pets my entire life and have always loved being around animals. I have experience caring for pets both at home and through my past work at a pet store, and I now work as an Animal Care Technician professionally. I’m used to working with many animals at once and take pride in my ability to recognize changes in behavior or injuries. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet, their quirks, and how they respond best to care. I can administer medications/topicals, handle puppies, kittens, seniors, or anxious pets, follow any specific care needs or funny rituals your pet may be used to, and am quick to react in case of an emergency. I’ve handled all sorts of pets (small animals, birds, dogs, and cats) as well, so if you have any other animals that you’d like watched as well, I’m your girl! More specifically, I’ve worked with high energy, demanding dog breeds like Border Collies and Blue Heelers, to guarding breeds like Rottweilers, Akitas, and Cane Corsos, and more docile breeds like Newfoundlands, Basset Hounds, and Great Danes just to name a few! I’m big on communication, so you will always get updates on how your pet is doing and cute photos to go along with them. I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your babies! I work full-time from 6:30 AM to 3:00 PM, so I’m available any time after 4! I’m always open to stopping by after work and overnight if needed. I’ll make sure your pet maintains their normal routine and feels as comfortable as possible, almost as though you never left! If staying overnight, your home will be well-taken care of as well. I don’t mind doing a meet-and-greet so I can get idea of what to expect from both you and your pet.
“Paige was amazing with my dog! Arrived on time and went above and beyond giving her fresh water and making sure she was loved! Would 100% recommend to anyone needing care for their pets!”
About: I have been around dogs and have taken care of dogs for 10+ years. I have been around all different breeds and sizes of dogs as well. I am not ready to have my own dog but I am a dog lover who is willing to take care of other dogs and make some cash while doing so. I do work an office job, Monday - Friday (8:00am - 4:30pm). I am a genuine, trustworthy, and reliable person. I respect others and their belongings. I offer transparency and commitment to do what someone else expects.
“Katie was amazing while we were out of the country for a week. She is attentive to detail and great at keeping good communication with us. Our kitties felt comfortable with her from day one. We would definitely recommend Katie.”
“I am so happy that I chose Grace to take care of Puck. He is 14, blind and quite shy, used to being with just me. I could tell from the pictures that Grace made friends quickly with him and provided lots of cuddles and “pets”. I will definitely book her again as she is a 10 out of 10!! Thanks Grace.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Birchrunville
Himal was amazing with my two pretty untrained medium-sized dogs who are wholly unused to having a sitter and very attached to me. She watched them upstairs in my house while I hosted a large party downstairs. She was incredibly patient with them and clearly was closely observing their behaviors and changes over time throughout the time the party lasted, learning what worked for them and analyzing why. I can see now that it was a very challenging assignment because they dogs knew I was in the house; nevertheless, she made the very best of it and when I went upstairs to check on everyone at one point, I was very impressed to see the one who is most wary of people-who-are-not-me lying on the bed accepting pets as Himal sat next to her. Himal is exceptionally thoughtful and kind and I highly recommend her!

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 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.
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 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.
