“Morgan was so sweet with our little pup, Rosie! She scheduled a meet and greet where she and Rosie got acquainted. Morgan was on time for the meet and greet and her afternoon visit with Rosie. Morgan played with Rosie, fed her and played in the backyard during a potty break. We will definitely hire Morgan again to check on Rosie for us!!!”
“Emily did a fantastic job taking care of our two particular fur babies! She was prompt in responses, reached out with any questions she had, and most importantly our cats loved her (based on the great photos she sent us)!! I would 100 percent recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who clearly loves animals!”
“Amber did amazing taking care of my boys! Even with a last minute booking, she was quick to respond and sent regular photo updates. I would definitely book again and recommend her to anyone!”
“Meaghan was extremely attentive to my cats behavior and needs, and was extremely responsive and communicative via the Rover app. I truly appreciated her thoroughness, care and love she gave my kitties!”
About: I’ve always had a passion for animals of all kinds since I was young. I cared for all manner of pets growing up, and even worked on a farm with cattle and herding dogs. I eventually grew up to attend NC state and graduated with a zoology degree. And while I do work with large exotic animals, I have over 4 years of experience working with dogs as a lead kennel attendant at camp BowWow. That experience includes feeding, medicating, behavioral assessment and response, first aid, enrichment, and basic training for dogs of all breeds and ages. I work with animals full time right now, so Tuesday-Saturday I typically am busy until about 5pm. I am open to helping out with your furry friend in the evenings though! Sunday and Monday are typically my days off, and I’d be happy to help most anytime during either of those days as long as I have a bit of notice. I have been a pet-sitter on several occasions in the past, and every single time I get the opportunity I do my best to leave the clients house and pet looking and feeling better than when I arrived. If there is a routine established, I’m happy to follow it, and if not I’m happy to go with the flow. I of course can transport myself, and am happy to stay and play or do quick check-ins. I’ve worked with all types of dogs with varying temperaments and energy levels, so I have no problem matching whatever level is needed.
“Otis enjoyed his drop in visit with Makena. She was on time and spent time playing with him. I got an update and she messaged me when she had trouble with lock--which I appreciated. He seemed happy to see her and the time she spent with him. Will definitely book again!”
“Phillip did a fantastic job of taking care of my sweet girl! Given I have an anxious pitbull that loves people, finding someone who can give her the loving she needs while putting up with her overstimulated moments is hard, so I'm thankful that Phillip not only took care of her but genuinely enjoyed his time with her! I will be booking Phillip again for sure!”
About: Caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up pet sitting for families in my neighborhood, and that early experience turned into a lifelong passion. Today, I foster dogs and puppies through a local rescue, giving me extensive experience with all ages, temperaments, and training levels. I also have a dog of my own, so I know how important it is to find someone you trust completely. Whether your pup needs structured routines, extra patience, or just tons of love and playtime, I’m here to make them feel safe, happy, and at home. I am currently a full time graduate student with a flexible schedule. I am out of the house for a few hours every morning, but home most afternoons and evenings. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, and walking or playing with a dog is my ideal way to decompress. My house has easy access to the outdoors and is located in a neighborhood with extensive walking paths, making walks and potty breaks easy and convenient. My own dog, Birdie, loves having friends around and will be here to keep your pet company.
“Sarah was great! She was very quick to respond and was willing to change plans last minute when I needed additional help for my pup. She did 2 drop-in visits and my dog was well cared for.”
About: I've grown up with dogs my whole life and have years of experience dog-sitting for neighbors and friends, caring for a wide range of breeds, ages, and personalities. I work Monday through Thursday until 4:30 PM and am available for evening visits on those days. I'm fully available all day Friday through Sunday for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays. I live in an townhome without a fenced yard, but I have easy access to a dog park right in town for safe, fun outdoor playtime.
About: With over 35 years experience, I have been honored to be a mom to a number of medium and large sized pups. Additionally, I have fostered and helped train dogs of all sizes. Currently I dog sit and cat sit for families across the country. Listening to body language is important with both dogs and cats, and I love watching for those subtle cues that mean so much. My work schedule is highly flexible allowing me the ability to put your pets’ needs first. Keying on your pets’ vibe, I am happy to do what is needed from snuggly on the couch to playing fetch to going for a walk. I am happy to meet your pets’ needs based on their trust, energy level and wants. Whether dog or cat, I wait for them to tell me what they want and guide our interactions. I am a mature woman who will care for your house and your pets while you are away as if they are my own. I love playing with both dogs and cats and find my happy placing while out for a walk with pups.
“Dana is my favorite for drop in visits! She is always on time and takes her time with my dog. She is very kind and considerate. She also does an amazing job at keeping you in the loop with your pet.”
“Rachelle took excellent care of my cat, she followed all of my instructions and was on time for all of her visits. She also made sure to send great photos and play and bond with my cat who is a bit shy with new people. Overall, I highly recommend Rachelle for anyone!”
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life. I have had every animal you can imagine. Closest to my heart were two yorkies that lived a grand life of 16 and 19 years old! I’m not the proud mama of 4 frenchies! (Yes it’s an obsession mixed with a mental disorder) lollll! I have had pets with special needs and I love the baby them and love them just as much if not more than you! I’ve used this app myself and found life long care takers for my babies and thought why not give back! I work from home and I have a very flexible schedule so I am available to walk ur babies or spend time with them on a schedule that works for you! My dogs have the life of luxury! Some people have even said when they pass away their second life would be to be my pets! They have a nice two acre fenced in yard to run around in and blankets and toys galore for snuggling in when they r inside. I talk to animals like they are humans and I love to see all their personalities!
About: As a healthcare professional, I understand the importance of patience, reliability, and paying close attention to individual needs. I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, including my own senior dog, so I'm comfortable following detailed routines, administering medications when needed, and giving extra attention to older pets or those with special needs. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or simply wants a calm companion, I'll tailor my care to their personality and routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet. I'll treat your furry family member like my own and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy peace of mind while you're away. I intentionally schedule my days to provide dependable pet care. Whether it's walks, drop-in visits, or sitting, I make sure every pet receives personalized attention, exercise, companionship, and plenty of love while their owner is away. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding, medication, exercise, and household instructions, provide plenty of attention and affection, and keep a close eye on your pet's well-being. I also send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
About: Being extremely attached to my own dog and cats, I understand how hard it is to be away from them! You can rest easy, I will care for your animals as if they were my own. Big and small, cat and dog, I love them all! Please note: I only accept dogs in my home for boarding that have been around cats and are known to be cat-friendly. I work a flexible schedule, and come check on your pets morning, evening and possibly also mid-day. Let me know what you need and I will make it work. I can either come to your house to let your pet stay in his/her own environment or if they come to my house to stay, they will join my menagerie for their visit. I have kitties, so they must be cat-friendly. At my house, the day starts with a potty break in my fenced yard, followed by a 20-minute walk either in the morning or at lunch time. There is a second walk of a at least 20-minutes after work around 7 and potty breaks, pets and treats on my work breaks. There are pet beds all over the house, kitties to play with and my dog Sadie (a mix, around 50lbs). My pets range at night but guest pets have to be crated at bedtime. I can put the crate in my bedroom if it will make your pet more comfortable.
“Amanda was absolutely incredible! She went the extra mile sharing lots of photos and updates! I will definitely be booking with her again and recommending her to my friends!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Blands
Amber was wonderful with our dog! She’s friendly, dependable, and clearly very comfortable with animals. We especially appreciated how patient she was with our dog and how flexible she was when our plans changed. She was always on time, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We will definitely have Amber care for our dog again!
Emily did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away for work! My younger cat is very outgoing/pushy, and my senior cat (Snickers) is more reserved but also gets really offended if she feels left out/ignored. Emily made sure both cats got their portion of wet food and gave them both attention. When I got back, the cats were happy and the house looked great.
Julia is fantastic with our 2 dogs. She makes sure each receives dedicated time and attention during her visits/stay. Julia is also very communicative, follows care instructions to a T, and sends great pics! Would highly recommend booking Julia to help care for your pups.

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.
