“We have a very difficult older cat who needs daily medication. We had already been through two cat sitters who were not able to administer her meds, after the first time, so we were concerned fo try again. Jared had great instincts with how to deal with the situation. He took the time to let the cat get to know him first. He was reliable and had good communication. We would definitely use him again.”
“We are so lucky to have found Jenna. She was so kind and thoughtful, and took amazing care of our Casper over the Thanksgiving holiday. She was reliable in giving him his twice daily medication and provided detailed updates of how he was doing. Jenna really took the time to get to know our kitty and spend time with him so that he became comfortable with her. Usually when we have sitters there’s some negotiation or trouble with taking medication at points, and the fact that this never happened is true testament to how Jenna has a real way with furry companions. She even brought him some toys! We are grateful to have found her and we look forward to booking her again on our next trip!”
“Danielle was great! She came by for a meet and greet beforehand and met my cat Reggie. She was punctual and thorough. She took pictures so I'd know my little fella was alright. I will certainly hire her again in the future!”

I have many years of experience with having my own dog as well as taking care of family members dogs☺️ I live in a house in Buzzards Bay with a large yard and a quiet neighborhood for great long walks that I love to go on! I also live right across from the canal and it’s my favorite walking area to do. I love dogs and see them as if they were a child and love them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to fully attend to your dogs every need- plenty of exercise and attention! I have lots of availability to fit in all the needs of your dog that they may need! Morning, afternoon or nightly walks, play or over night care. My pets are greatly cared for in my home, I would also treat your fur baby as one of my own in your home or mine
“Maggie was great with our goldendoodle. She helped us last minute with a drop-in visit and was very communicative and put our mind at ease. Would highly recommend Maggie!!”
About: I have 45 years experience training and caring for dogs and other animals. I worked 17 years in animal control. I owned a pet store for 8 years. I have cpr training for dogs. I am a retired animal control officer who loves spending time with all animals. I also run, hike and walk daily if your dog is energetic.I visit my mother in a memory care facility and would gladly bring a well behaved pup for lots of love if you are comfortable with this. I have a fenced yard. I will play, walk and spend quality time with your dog. I can hike or run with your dog too if they enjoy this.
“Julie was great! She was able to work with two mostly untrained dogs (but very sweet!) at a house without a fence. The dogs were happy, tired, and had no accidents in the house. We loved the photos we received along with the updates. I didn't worry at all while we were away. We would definitely recommend!!”
“I have 2 large very energetic dogs ! Julia was very comfortable with them when she first met them. Dogs are very intuitive and they loved her. We returned from a 3 day trip to 2 very happy dogs. Julia sent several photos at each drop in visit which we truly appreciated.”
About: I have had dogs my entire life and they are truly the best thing to ever happen to me. I am often called upon to dogsit when family & friends go out of town, I have lots of experience house/dog sitting and when the owners return they always are impressed with how their dog and home were taken care of. I have a rescue dog named Finley who is my whole world so you can rest assured I will treat your dog as my own and spoil them with lots of cuddles and belly rubs. I’m a teacher so weekends I’m always free and am usually always with my dog. I’m available most afternoons for drop in visits or to take your dog for a walk. Summers are also a time when I am completely free and would love to be able to care for your dog(s) while you enjoy a summer vacation! I have a fenced in backyard and a very friendly hound mix dog to keep your dog company. She loves to play and wants to be friends with every dog we meet. I can also easily crate your dog if needed.
“Alison was great checking in on my cat while I was away for a few days. She was excellent in her communication and giving me updates on how he was doing, and I felt like he was in great hands. I will definitely be using her again next time he needs watching.”
“Justine was an amazing find for us on Rover! She is a natural with animals as a vet tech, and she quickly built rapport with our two dogs. She is professional, prompt, and very easy to work with. Strongly recommend with 5 stars!”
About: I have been taking care of all different kinds of animals all my life. From dogs, cats, fish, hamster, etc.... I am now a military spouse following my husband around with our cat daughter. I do have a military id so don't worry if you live on a base I have access. I do stop by for a quick hello and check on your babies make sure they are good and don't need anything to staying and playing with them for at least 30 mins. or if you are just needing someone to get them out of the house for a little walk during the day. I currently do not have any children so any and all fur babies I will love like they are my own child. I am currently a stay-at-home wife, so I am generally available anytime during the weekday. So, I am going to use this in my free time to be able to get me out of the house for a little bit during the day. When I come to your house to check in on your baby/babies or even to take them for a walk as long as you tell me what they can and can't do for the most part (sitting on the furniture) or an idea of their schedule that will help me make them feel the less stressed out the best.
About: I’ve had dog(s) since before I was born and I try to make sure that they receive adequate back rubs, treats, and outfits in addition to their basic care. As a kid I watched many neighbors dogs while they were on vacation and I am always the first one to fill a food or water bowl At this time I have a wide range of availability to care for dogs in my schedule. I am open to different care options to best meet the dog’s needs I have a fenced in area where my three dogs are able to let themselves in and out via doggy door. They can have as much food as they want as they are feeder fed.

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.
