“Sandy was absolutely amazing, and I will definitely book with her in the future! She took such wonderful care of our kitty Piper and provides thorough updates! Thank you Sandy!”
“The best Rover for any pet! My cat loves them. Communicates clearly at all times, answers diligently, follows instructions, remembers important facts about your animal.”
“Stephanie is a great cat sitter! She follows all our directions and is very communicative about timing & provides descriptive visit recaps. Not only does she do the required feedings & changing of the litter box, but she also plays with our cats and makes sure they get love while we’re away.”
“Melissa was incredible! Very communicative, sent the cutest pictures of my boys, and took care of everything very well. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies while they are away!”
“Sky was AMAZING with our dogs! She gave great updates, great communication and loved our dogs like her own! She suggested a meet & greet on her own time prior to us leaving, which really helped put me at ease. We'll be hiring her for all visits from here on out!”
“George and his wife were wonderful! They took great care of my cat and kept me up to date with anything going on. They even stopped by to bring packages in. Will be using them again.”
“Abigail did an outstanding job during her drop-in visit with our two pups. Since it was her first time caring for them, we especially appreciated how punctual, communicative, and attentive she was. She spent quality time with them, made sure they got some exercise, and ensured they took care of their potty break. It was clear she genuinely cared about their well-being. We were very pleased with her service and will definitely be using her again in the future. Highly recommended!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pups over the years. I grew up with dogs and don’t currently have any of my own so I will treat your furry friends as my own🐾 I have availability for day checks and stay-cations! I do work full time, but should be able to keep your furry family happy and healthy! Message me for more details and we can work something out! I do not offer in home care at my house, but I have experience both checking in and staying in others’ homes with their furry friends🐾
About: I have been taking care of dogs ever since I was a kid. I have tended to a total of six beloved family dogs from around age 7 to 19 when I moved. Some of my regular care for them included providing fresh food and water, regular potty breaks, going outside, playing, and brushing their coats. I have also administered some medication such as vet prescribed pills, sprays, or ear drops when needed. I helped to train them on basic commands and leash training. I am used to recognizing dog body language, following care instructions tailored to each pet, and sticking to a schedule. Since I am currently in-between jobs, my schedule is very flexible. I am most often available to provide pet care anytime on any day! I can also work for extended periods of time. Typically, my care for pets includes providing fresh food and water, playing, pets, and regular potty breaks. However, different pets have different needs and I am able to provide the care that suits your unique pet!
About: Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm a school teacher looking to spend my summer looking after pets. I have experience working with all types of dogs as I grew up in a home with three pugs with big personalities. I also have experience working with bigger dogs, senior/disabled dogs, and cat sitting. I would do anything for my dogs, so I would do anything for yours too. As a teacher, I'm free during the day to help your pet so they feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you're away. For active pets, I love going on walks! For easygoing and older pets , I'm happy to be someone to watch over them. :) My #1 priority is to keep your pets happy and healthy while you are away! I'll be sure to send you frequent updates on how your pet is doing. Never hesitate to ask me any questions. Feel free to let me know your pets regular schedule, so I can maximize your pets comfort.
About: I love animals and care about them more than anyone! I have had pets my whole life and I have become very good at reading dog body language as I have had moderately aggressive dogs in the past. Over the summer I was a nanny in charge of 2 young children, 2 large dogs and 1 cat. In the past I have been in charge of dispensing oral medication to multiple dogs on multiple different jobs, as well as walking dogs and playing with them and basic things of that nature. I am also good with cats and care deeply for them as well! I am currently a full time student but my schedule is fairly open! I would be available constantly after 4:30 every day and am able to check in multiple times prior to that throughout the day. I am usually free on the weekends as well as weeknights. I am comfortable walking dogs on a leash or I am happy to watch them while they play if there is a fenced in yard! I also am happy to follow whatever feeding schedule the animals are used to and I would obviously always make sure their water bowls are full! Every dog is a little different but I am usually very good at being to tell when a dog has to go outside or I will learn to recognize the signs very quickly! I would also just let them outside whenever they wake up from a nap or anything like that.
About: I’m a babysitter and have been for 10 years, so not only do I know how to care for a dog, I know how to care for a human. As a college student I constantly miss my dogs at home, and will find joy in any excuse to give a dog attention. I’ve had dogs my entire life. As a college student I am happy to spend the night at places near my school. During weekdays though, I will not always be there. I will and can visit between classes and give your dog all the love in the world in the afternoon or evening after class :) I will make sure your dogs get to keep the routine they have when their family is home the best I can. I love to watch a show or do homework near the dog so I can be available for snuggles. More than happy to take dogs on daily walks, I love the excuse to get outside and get to know your dog!
About: Hi! I'm currently a college student who's looking to have a decent side job while also dealing with missing her animals back home! I have eleven cats and four dogs back home, as well as three guinea pigs, a hermit crab and some exotic animals as well. My parents are the primary owners, but I am often the caretaker of all of our pets, especially when my parents are out of town! I have experience with senior dogs, young dogs, small, big, and medium sized dogs and dogs of varying temperament. I am used to the varying temperament of cats, too! Since we have exotic animals, I'm also used to a handful of different routines and dealing with different feeding preferences and rules. I have experience with watching some pets of my family members as well, so it's not just limited to my immediate family! I'm currently a student full time at BGSU, but my classes generally get done around 12:20PM on Mon/Wed/Fri, around 2:30PM on Tuesdays, and around 10:30AM on Thursdays! I'm more than willing to stop by after my classes to check up on your pets, and I'm generally up around 6:30AM so there's no issue in morning routines. In my home, things are ran a bit different since we have so many different animals. My main focus at home is usually keeping the dogs out for periods of time, watching them and playing with them if they're willing to play along! Whatever your usual routine is at home is what I'll be willing to adjust to, since the comfort of your pet is my priority!
About: I have 3 dogs of varying sizes so I know how to handle many dogs and many temperaments.I have been trusted to look after friends dogs as well. I’m working part time in the mornings so I have plenty of time during the week and afternoons to take care of any dog! I let the dog get comfortable with me before I try anything. I love to take my dogs on long walks and play in my backyard with them till they are tired.
About: I have always felt a drawn to all different animals. Especially dogs and cats. I love being around them. I feel that every dog I have ever encountered has been drawn to me, even if they were resistant at first. Unfortunately I do not have many pictures of myself with dogs so I do not have a lot on my profile! I have taken care of more dogs than cats although it doesn’t look like it! I will take care of your animal like it is my own. I’m currently working full time at a school! I work 9-3 everyday and I am home on Fridays. I would have more than enough time before or after work to be able to take care of your fur baby. I love going on walks and would love to be active while having a friend to be with me! I care for pets like they are my own. I will care for each pet in the ways that they need. Each pet is different and likes different things. I will accommodate to their wants/needs and do what feels best for them!
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and have always been told I have a “way with animals.” I have cared for small, medium, and large dogs before. Whether it’s a tiny tea cup dog or a large lab with more energy that they can contain, I’ve seen it all. I’m currently a senior in high school and play club volleyball. I have a part time job but am looking to gain more experience before college. Being a pet sitter and walking fits great for me since it’s a flexible schedule. I already take care of my own dog and cat at home and would love to add more pets to that list. As an athlete I am able to match your pets energy. I’m able to run around with them and throw their toys for as long as they may need it. I’m always down to explore new places on walks in any weather.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for years! Being from a small town, lots of friends and neighbors have trusted me to look after their dogs and cats while away on vacations. On top of this, I currently work as a full time nanny, which has taught me so many things such as reliability and responsibility- characteristics that directly translate to pet care. I am available for pet care on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the early mornings (before 10:00 a.m.) and again after 6:00 p.m. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, I am available after 3:00 p.m. I also have open availability all day on weekends, which allows me to provide flexible care for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and other pet care needs. For the most part I can be pretty flexible, so don’t hesitate to message me with specifics. When caring for a pet in a clients home, I feel it is most important to treat their home with respect and prioritize pet happiness!!
About: I have spent my whole life around dogs and cats! I volunteer at a local shelter and have been around the shy, sick, and old of both dogs and cats. Im very brave and confident when handling them and will not fail in caring for even the unfriendliest of animals. One of my cats at home has special needs pertaining to hydration, so, your pets with specific medical care will be taken care of 100% adequately! As I understand the fear in being a parent to a sick furbaby. I’m currently an unemployed student, so, while I am home for the summer, I have infinite time to play with your fluffy loved ones :). All of my cats are indoor only, I have never and will never hit my pets, and my dogs were always entertained and well fed. I think providing your animals with love, attention, nutrition, and safety are the most important things going on in my home.
About: I have experience taking care of dogs, cats, reptiles, rodents, farm animals, and horses. I have 10+ years of horse experience training OTTB’s as well as 2+ years of reptile husbandry training working in BGSU’s herpetology lab. I have experience caring for special needs pets and have worked as a vet assistant which includes administering medication, monitoring patients, and responding quickly in emergency situations! As a student at BGSU, I live in an apartment and do not have pets currently. However, at home I have 2 dogs (one of which is special needs) as well as a cat and horses. I have always grown up treating pets as a part of the family. They have always come along on vacations when possible, been involved in family events, and given the absolute best care. I fully intend to carry this viewpoint into my client’s homes as well.
About: I currently have two dogs at home. One is a pitbull and the other is a corgi mix. I have taken care of dogs my entire life! Currently I only have a part time job that is only about 10 hours a week so I plenty of time to be with the animals! I love walking especially with a fur baby by my side to make the walk more enjoyable! I also enjoy being able to keep an animal company when need!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bowling Green
Sandy stepped in at the last minute when another sitter had to cancel. She was great to work with and took good care of my sixteen-year-old cat who is a picky eater. The peace of mind gained by knowing how good of care she was giving to him was very appreciated.
Sky was AMAZING with our dogs! She gave great updates, great communication and loved our dogs like her own! She suggested a meet & greet on her own time prior to us leaving, which really helped put me at ease. We'll be hiring her for all visits from here on out!
I could not recommend Melissa more. I just moved days prior and was so worried about leaving my boys, yet knowing Melissa was taking care of them eased so much worry. I came back and everything was neat, taken care of, and the boys were happy and healthy. Thank you so much!!
We’ve had great experiences with Christin doing drop-in visits for our dog. She is always quick to respond, shows up on time, and was flexible when we needed a significant schedule change. Most importantly, she is really caring and attentive with our dog, which gives us peace of mind. Communication is easy and consistent, and we feel confident knowing our dog is in good hands. We will definitely continue using Christin and highly recommend her.

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 .

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.
