“Pamela is great! She is punctual and our kitty loves her! She communicates regularly. She even went the extra mile and replaced the batteries in our touch-activated faucet. Thanks Pamela!”
“Katie did a wonderful job taking care of our dog. Her communication was thorough and prompt. Katie took special care of our dog’s needs and I would not hesitate to recommend her to someone else.”
“Lilac Rain did an incredible job with my dog. I needed someone last minute and they were able to help take care of my dog. They did a great job of communicating and sending photos, so I was able to check in. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Savannah was great with our shy kitty. She had her eating out of her hand and let her pet her. Savannah arrived on time, cleaned her litter box, sent plenty of pics and stayed for the full time to give our kitty plenty of snuggles and human interaction. We would use her again.”
“Chris was wonderful with Vittles! We had the chance to meet him beforehand and immediately found him to be a very kind and gentle person. Vittles clearly felt the same way and was very comfortable with him. Chris kept to Vittles’ schedule, communicated well, and sent us regular updates and pictures while we were away. It gave us great peace of mind knowing Vittles was in such caring hands. We definitely recommend Chris as a pet sitter and plan to have him care for Vittles again!”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and cared for them for the last 4 years. I am 19 years old and extremely active, I love runs and long walks and playing with all types of pets. I’m responsible and will take very good care of your pets. Im currently working part time and have plenty of time to check in and stay over to care for pets. I work some nights and am usually back home before 8. I live and work by two simple rules, treat your house as if it were my own and to leave everything better than I found it.
“Mozart absolutely loves Thomas. Thomas was great taking care of Mozart. Spent time with him sent me pictures, and kept me up to date on how things were going. I was able to enjoy my time out of town with no worries. I will 100% use Thomas again, and highly recommend him.”
About: Hi! I’m Hannah. I live in Black Mountain with my 9-month old doodle Sunny. Since I work from home with a flexible schedule, I’m available for walks & drop-in visits. For dogs who love other dogs, I am also available for boarding and daycare! My dog, Sunny, loves every dog he meets and enjoys having other dogs in the home. We only take one dog at a time to ensure that everyone is safe and happy! I’ve had dogs all my life, and I am comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and breeds, and I feel very strongly about reinforcing good habits with the dogs I work with. If there any special commands or tricks you’d like me to work on during my walks/visits, just let me know! I’m also happy to work with senior dogs who might have less energy and just need some love. I’ll treat your pup as my own! Let me know if there’s anything else you would like to know about me. I look forward to taking care of your pup. I work from home with a flexible schedule, so I’m available for routine or one-off walks & drop-in visits. I’m available most days, so just let me know what you need. I am available for boarding and daycare in my home. I live in a cozy one-level townhome with a fenced-in yard. My dog Sunny is very friendly and loves to have doggy friends over to play with!
“Alex is an absolutely lovely human. Reliable, good-natured, understanding, and a natural with animals. My pups were happy and well taken care of while I was away. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much, Alex!”
“Cera is amazing! She is kind, very responsive, and flexible. My mind was at ease knowing my cat was in the best hands while I was gone. She kept me updated with lots of adorable pictures and was happy to accommodate a couple other household tasks I asked her to do. I’m so glad to have found her and look forward to using her services in the future.”
About: My friends tell me I treat their pets like my own when I watch them! People have told me that they appreciate that I pay attention to details and send lots of updates. I have an elderly dog myself with special needs, have taken dog training classes and genuinely love animals! I am excited to learn about what care your dog needs and help them feel safe and cared for! I can do recurring drop ins once we have had our first sitting to make sure it’s a good fit! I have my calendar blocked off Tuesdays and Thursdays but feel free to reach out about one-offs! I work remotely, so I’d like to make myself available to help you out during the day with quick drop ins, short walks and potty breaks! My currently availability says the morning but I do have some availability in the afternoons at times. My dog is trained with positive reinforcement based methods. She is an older dog with medication requirements and I understand the extra care and play restrictions they can have! Whether it’s creating a quick interactive puzzle game or playing gently in the backyard, happy to help your dog get some attention during the day!
“Sydney took care of our snake while we were out of town. She went above and beyond by watering plants and bringing in packages too. Excellent communication, we will absolutely reach out to book her again.”
“Indigo was absolutely amazing! I had daily updates about how my sweet bunny was doing and was sent multiple pictures each day. Indigo gave me updates about how my bunny was getting more comfortable and when I came home he did zoomies around the room letting me know how happy he was this week. I felt so safe and comforted knowing he was so well taken care of. Will definitely be rebooking in the future for my bunny as well as my dog if I leave her next time!!”
About: I can handle any dog (or cat!) big or small, high energy, timid, low energy, counter surfers, etc. I have 8 years of pet and house sitting experience, as well as 8 years with my adorable pittie, Mushu. I’m able to cater to a wide variety of pet needs, and I’m level-headed and competent in emergencies. I’m a college student with a pretty spread out schedule, so I never have more that 3 hours blocked out at a time. Most of all, I love playing with furry friends - and I’m quite adept with a frisbee. I’m a student, so my schedule is fixed but leaves plenty of time for some W-A-L-K action. Daily Availability: 8:30AM-9:30AM 12:00PM-1:00PM 4:00PM-8:30PM Additional Availability: Monday, Wednesday: 1:00PM-2:30PM Tuesday, Thursday: 2:30PM-4:00PM Friday: 1:00PM-4:00PM Weekends: All Day I have experience house and pet sitting for 6 different families. I always make sure to leave with laundry done and everything very clean, and I can take care of household tasks (watering plants, taking in mail, etc.). I have a car that is welcome to all varieties of furry friends, in case of a requested dog park visit or an emergency. I’m great at keeping routines in place and making sure that nothing is out of the ordinary while you’re away. Lots of cuddles, walks, scritches, treats, and playtime!
About: I've been pet sitting privately for over eight years and added energy healing (BioEnergetic Synchronization Technique) to my repertoire for animals and people in 2023. I'd be happy to direct you to my personal site for testimonials or share some of the 50+ five-star reviews I've amassed on other platforms. Animals take to me very quickly, and I absolutely adore them! I have many regulars who reach out to me before anyone else because they feel complete peace of mind when I am with their pets. I know how important that is and love to provide that with an abundance of photos and updates. BEST energy work helps heal physical issues, as well as emotional challenges, like separation anxiety. Please note that while I love and do B.E.S.T. with all animals, at this time I am generally only accepting live-in pet sitting requests with cats. I do much of my work remotely, and even my most food-forward feline regulars allow me to focus fully when I'm holding a session. Most of them even curl up right next to me. Due to the nature of my remote energy work, I am only accepting cat sits at this time. They tend to love my work as much as my play! I stick to whatever schedule and routines the animals are already used to, unless otherwise requested. I am very sensitive to animals' needs and catch on very quickly if they need anything.

I’ve had a great experience with Pam caring for Mona. From our very first meet-and-greet through her most recent visit, Pam has been wonderful about keeping me updated with detailed messages and plenty of pictures. It gives me a lot of peace of mind knowing Mona is in good hands.
Lilac Rain was absolutely amazing with my two cats! Communication was excellent from start to finish, and I loved all the pictures and updates she sent during each drop-in. You could really tell how much care, positive energy, and attention she gave them. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in such great hands. I would absolutely recommend Lilac Rain and will definitely book with her again!!
Shannon did a great job checking in on Peaches! She made sure Peaches got outside for a potty break and spent time playing with her before she left. I really appreciate knowing Peaches is getting some much needed attention while I’m away at work. I would definitely recommend Shannon and would be happily book with her again!

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.

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 use the 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.
