“Stacy took such good care of our kitten, Kona, while we were away. It was our first time leaving her alone and Stacy made sure we felt as comfortable as possible, sending us multiple updates per day with details on how she was doing and photos. She made sure she got lots of playtime in and kept her food, water and litter fresh. She took care of our baby just as she would her own. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for about 15 years through my own pets and helping family and friends with theirs. I have experience training dogs in basic skills such as sit, down, stay, touch, recall, heel, leave it, and go to place. I also have a good understanding of dog behavior and body language, including how to redirect unwanted behaviors using reward-based training. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from small dogs to large and giant breeds, as well as cats and puppies. I have hands-on experience with walking, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, and basic obedience training. I especially enjoy working with puppies and practicing skills such as sit, down, stay, recall, leash manners, and impulse control using reward-based training. I understand that every pet has a different personality, routine, and comfort level. I’ll follow your care instructions closely and focus on keeping your pet safe, comfortable, and engaged while they’re in my care. I balance pet care with my school and work schedule, which gives me availability at different times throughout the week. I’m generally available mornings, with additional afternoon and evening availability on certain days. My schedule varies by day, so please include your preferred visit or walk time when sending a request. I’ll confirm that I can accommodate your pet’s schedule before booking. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priorities. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, potty routines, walking preferences, and household rules. I always make sure doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses are secure and will communicate with you during each visit. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, puppies, and cats.
“Cynthia was wonderful! She was friendly, professional, and very communicative throughout my holiday trip. I really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She even went above and beyond by bringing my packages inside for safekeeping. I’d happily book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”
“We are so glad Tracey was available to take care of our pups while we were visiting Simi Valley and had a day at the Reagan Library planned without them. Tracey quickly figured out our dogs' favorite activities (the old one is a cuddler and the youngster is fetching obsessed). She was also great with us people providing prompt communication, darling photos, and showing up dependably. Definitely recommend her!”
About: For 20+ years I have been a dog owner and have raised puppies, and adopted and fostered kittens. Now we have a cat and chickens, too. We are a pet-loving family and treat any pets we take care of as our own. I work full time from home with a very flexible schedule, so I am available for boarding and day care 7 days a week, including most holidays. When your pet is here, they are a part of the family. We have a large fenced/gated yard (we are on a half acre lot!) with plenty of room for your pet to play and explore! We have a 8 year old German Shepherd mix who loves other animals and would love to keep your dog company. Our home is smoke-free and we have it professionally cleaned weekly.
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was a kid and currently have two of my own. Our girls are husky mixes, Luna and Nova and they both have a really cool adoption story. I love animals and would love to give yours the time and attention they need. I work full time during the week but am available weeknights from 3:30pm-10pm and weekends anytime. I am really excited to get started on this app!! I walk my two dogs all the time, and I love it. I am well aware of my surroundings and make sure if any other dogs are close, to give them the needed space as we pass one another. I have leashes (Short and extended), doggy bags, treats (If allowed) and always carry water.
“Heather is absolutely great with cats. She did a great job taking care of Boris. I left for 5 days, and he wasn't at all stressed out when I got home. Heather is great at communication. I would definitely book her again.”
About: Hello! I have experience with senior dogs and special needs pups (my current pup has epilepsy). I understand the importance of being timely with meds, cleaning up messes, noticing if anything is off, providing structure, and showing so much love. I look forward to taking excellent care of your dog(s). I’m currently out of work and waiting for a new job to begin, so I have plenty of time to make sure your pet gets their food and meds at the right time, and to make sure they feel safe and loved with me. I am cognizant of dogs who try to escape, so I am careful when entering your home and meeting your pet(s). I don’t make loud noises or sudden movements, waiting for your pet(s) to sense my calm before I proceed. I am respectful of your space and your possessions whenever I am in your home.
About: I’ve been a huge animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, I helped my aunt foster and rehabilitate dogs and cats, which gave me experience caring for animals with all kinds of personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I learned early on that every pet is different and deserves patience, attention, and lots of love. I currently have two adorable cats and a pit bull/Lab mix who are my whole world, so I’m very comfortable caring for both cats and dogs, including larger breeds. I love getting to know each animal’s personality and figuring out what makes them happiest, whether that’s going for walks, playing, cuddling on the couch, or just having someone nearby to keep them company. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel comfortable while you’re away. I’ll treat your pets with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own, and I’m always happy to send plenty of pictures and updates so you know they’re safe and having a good time. I have a pretty flexible schedule that gives me plenty of time to care for your pets! I’m available Mondays and Wednesdays after 12 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays after 3 PM, and I’m available all day on Fridays and weekends. Whether your fur baby needs a walk, some playtime, or just some company while you’re away, I’m happy to work with their normal routine and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby and allowing them into your home is a big deal, and I take that responsibility seriously. During drop-ins, I’ll always respect your home, follow any instructions you leave, and make sure doors, gates, and anything else your pet could get into are secure before I leave. On walks, I’ll keep your dog safely leashed and pay close attention to our surroundings, other dogs, traffic, and anything that could make them uncomfortable. I’m also happy to send photos and updates during every visit so you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and being well cared for.

“I can’t recommend Christian enough. He’s been amazing with my dogs…so caring, patient, and genuinely attentive to their needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brandeis
Meghan has been great as a pet sitter for my cats! After I left for vacation, I realized it was going to be really hot out for a couple days so I contacted Meghan and explained I needed her to set up a couple Fans and open the sliding doors a bit for better air circulation and set out more water for my cats. Meghan did everything I asked and took great care of my kitties, for which I am grateful.
My rescue dog struggles with trusting people and when I contacted Emily about it she was so nice and gentle about her approach to meeting Shae. Ever since the meet and greet she was patient and loving and my dog ended up warming up to her in just a couple of visits. It is really hard to find someone who is truly caring and understanding of fearful dogs. She was also very accommodating to our needs, Thank you, Emily!
As usual, Daniel took great care of our cats while we were traveling, even going into our home which was under evacuation warning from nearby fires offering to do what was needed to make sure our pets were safe. Can’t say enough great things about his dedication and care.

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.
