“I chose Susan to watch our dogs while we were gone one night because she had great reviews. I'm happy to say she lived up to the previous reviews and took great care of our pups! I really liked her detailed updates and pictures she sent me whenever she dropped in. Would definitely recommend!”
“Sarah did a fantastic job watching our pups while my wife and I were out. She kept us updated the whole time and made sure they were well taken care of. It was clear she gave them plenty of attention and love, and we came home to two happy dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone reliable and caring.”
“Victoria did a great job checking in on Mellow. She was very communicative and we were glad to see Mellow was well taken care of. We’d be happy to contact Victoria again to watch Mellow in the future”
“Jess took wonderful care of our three pups in our home while we were away. One of our pups has special needs and she was very accommodating to all of his care. We loved receiving updates and photos from each visit. Would highly recommend Jess for your in-home pet sitter needs!”
“Alyssa was very thoughtful and took great care of our cats. They were immediately comfortable with her and it’s clear she has a lot of experience with animals. She also managed our older cat’s multiple medications very well!”
“Jacqueline is an awesome sitter. My kitties were so happy and healthy when we got home. She's great at making sure our cat got his medicine everyday and that they both felt loved. She also did a great job housesitting and making sure my garden survived our time away.”
“Abby was absolutely wonderful! I was in a pinch and needed someone to come over and check on my dog the same day. I blindly reached out to her, she responded quickly and was able to make it happen! We then had her come check on our dog the following 2 days as well. She let me know when she was on her way and gave me thorough updates throughout. I’ll absolutely be using her again and if highly recommend her!”
About: Hello, I’m SirJahad Harris! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working full time Monday through Friday. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, I’d just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Always free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
About: What sets me apart from other dog caregivers is my genuine love for dogs and the experience I’ve gained from being a dog owner for many years. I currently own a beautiful pit bull that is 11 years old ,her name is Blue. Before my dog Blue, , I owned a miniature pinscher for 14 years who passed away from old age and being ill.I understand that every dog has its own personality, needs, and routines. I enjoy spending time with dogs, making them feel safe, loved, comfortable, and happy while their owners are away. Especially knowing how important it is to me, when I am away, to know that my dog is cared for fed, and feels safe. Whether it’s a walk, playtime, or simply companionship, I treat every dog with the same care, patience, and affection that I would give my own. I do currently work full-time. Although I work full-time, I am done work at 2:30, and off in the summer. My husband has recently passed away. I have a lot more time on my hands to give your pet a lot of love. I am done work early enough that I can get to an owner‘s house for a dinner feeding for your pet, letting your pet out if you have a fenced yard , if not a walk. Playtime for your pet companionship whatever the case may be my weekends are free and my summer . It is then that I could provide overnight stays. Having a dog myself, I would not provide any services at my home, however, I would gladly come to your house, carefully come in, call your dog’s name and provide whatever services you would like. Those services would include a 15 minute visit or a 30 min visit In a 15 minute visit: *Let dog out/ short walk * Fresh water/ feeding *Lots of attention/ affection 20.00 30 min drop in * Walk/yard time *Feeding / water refresh * playtime/ companionship *Poop cleanup * photo text update- 30.00

About: Hi! I’m Olivia, a reliable and caring animal lover with experience around dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I grew up around many dogs with very different personalities and energy levels, which helped me become comfortable handling everything from playful, energetic pups to more shy or anxious dogs. I also have my own dog, Chunk, a 3-year-old black lab mix, who is incredibly loving with people, children, and other animals. Caring for him has taught me how important patience, consistency, and lots of love are when it comes to pets. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your dog, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, drop-in visit, or companionship while you’re away, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m responsible, communicative, and happy to follow any routines or special instructions your pet may need. I also love sending updates and photos during visits so owners can feel comfortable while away. At this time, I am only offering walks and drop-in visits, and I am not currently providing boarding, overnight stays, or doggy daycare services. As someone balancing graduate-level healthcare training, I’m attentive, dependable, patient, and used to caring for others. I’d love the opportunity to care for your furry family member! As a graduate student, my schedule varies week to week, but I currently have availability Mondays after 3 PM, Wednesdays before 1 PM, and Fridays after 3 PM. Weekend availability depends on my monthly schedule, but I will always communicate availability clearly and promptly! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are supervised, secure, and cared for according to their normal routines and any owner instructions provided. I pay close attention to behavior, body language, and surroundings to help pets feel safe and comfortable at all times. I understand that every animal has different needs and temperaments, and I always approach pets with patience, kindness, and respect. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while away.

Kristie was fantastic - came at the designated times, communicated and asked questions as needed, and kept the backyard clean; the dogs we happy and well taken care of while we were gone for the weekend. She made me feel so comfortable, especially with a snarky dog that is a challenge sometimes. Looking forward to having her watch the dogs again!
Donovan was an absolute pleasure to have! He cared for all three of my dogs at once, and trust me—they’re a handful with their different personalities. Somehow, he made it all look like a breeze while I was away on my trip. He went above and beyond, even sending me picture updates that gave me peace of mind. My dogs were clearly happy and comfortable in his care, which means the world to me. I’ll definitely be requesting him again for my future vacations. Thank you so much, Donovan!
Susan is amazing! My cat loves her and even though he’s shy, he’ll come out to see her while we’re gone. Such a nice service to have so your pet has a friendly face to check on them. Highly recommend her to anyone who needs drop-in visits while they’re away.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Blackwood stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
