“Third time having Stephanie 'babysit' for us, and already rebooked for next trip! The kids really love her interaction, and her photos look like a professional took them in the wild❣️”
“Alexis responded promptly to my request on Rover for drop-in visits for my 8-month-old lab. Her calm and pleasant demeanor instantly put me at ease, and my lab took to her instantly. She kept me in the loop daily with texts and pics (of a very happy puppy!). Thank you, Alexis!”
“Ronny was very professional and thorough when I needed him to come over and take out my 15 month old Brittany, Nova. She can definitely be hyper, but he was patient and went above and beyond what I would have expected. I will definitely contact Ronny the next time I need someone to check on Nova.”
“I can highly recommend Carley as a pet sitter. She is very detailed and professional. Our cat, Raja was in good hands with Carley. She is experienced with medication administration and her updates were prompt. I will definitely book with Carley again in the future.”

“This was my first time since moving and having my cat alone so I was nervous to hire someone to check in on her. Tai was communicative, caring, friendly and sweet! She closely followed the instructions I left. I am so grateful for the last minute drop-in visit. I will definitely reach out again and would recommend her for anyone’s pet!”
About: I have 4 years of experience caring for my family pets and truly enjoy spending time with animals.

I’m patient, responsible, and always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away.

I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, boarding depending on my class schedule, and weekend stays so you can have your weekend getaways knowing your pet is safe. I’m happy to work with you to find a schedule that fits your pet’s routine and needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I will follow your instructions carefully, keep a close eye on your pet, and make sure they receive plenty of attention and care. I’m responsible, patient, and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and pictures so you know your pet is doing well.
About: I’ve grown up around both dogs and cats, so caring for pets has always been a big part of my life. I’m comfortable with pets of all ages and personalities, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away! As a graduate student, my schedule varies throughout the week, but I have the most flexibility during evenings and weekends. I enjoy fitting pet care into my routine and am happy to work with owners to make sure their pets get the care and attention they need! I care for each pet based on their normal routine and individual needs. In a client’s home, I’ll follow their instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any other care they may need.

About: I’ve had dogs and cats in my family all of my life. Along the way I’ve also shared space with birds, fish, reptiles, rodents, and even a horse and some cattle when I was a ranch hand. Right now, I’m getting into dog behavior and training. I’m pro Mother Nature in all things! I currently have three days off a week, so I will have plenty of time for visits and walks, to get some exercise, and be fed. For dogs, I offer walks and play time, along with feeding if necessary. For cats, I offer feeding, box cleaning, and play time. I have no problem feeding and caring for exotic pets or giving medication to any pets
About: I’ve had cats all of my life, and have dog-sat for friends, neighbors, and coworkers since becoming an adult. My own little orange kitty has many medical adventures—so I’m also very used to administering medicine to cats. I have flexibility in my work hours and can work around routine meetings - allowing for flexibility when caring for our loved ones! I know some furballs need more together time than others so also have a job where I can work virtually too! I love working under instruction—every pet is different and needs different attention and affection! I love to give cuddles and have playtime, and am very detail-oriented when taking care of pets.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brandywine
Our dog loves Alexis! He is a very sensitive but sweet boy and she did amazing with him. The photo updates she sent on his breaks were so cute and funny. We are so lucky we found Alexis- she was able to accommodate our schedule and did a wonderful job. We look forward to using Alexis in the future!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gaby was absolutely amazing with our dogs, and I truly cannot recommend her enough. I had to book with her very last minute because of my work schedule, and she didn’t hesitate to help. She was incredibly accommodating and made the entire process completely stress-free. From the moment we met her, she was kind, professional, and clearly cared deeply about animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Our dogs were happy, comfortable, and very well cared for. Gaby went above and beyond to make sure they stayed on their normal routine and received plenty of attention, love, and care. It was obvious that she treated them like they were her own. Another huge plus is that her prices are very reasonable, especially considering the exceptional level of care she provides. Finding someone who is affordable, reliable, and truly loves animals is rare, and Gaby exceeded every expectation we had. We will absolutely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and amazing dog sitter!
Alexa agreed to help us last minute after our original sitter had to cancel due to a personal emergency. She provided great care for our two dogs during her drop in visits. She played ball and sent several pictures of them throughout the weekend. She went above and beyond by reaching out after our duck was locked out of the chicken coop after dark, even though she was not responsible for our chickens and ducks care. We highly recommend Alexa for any pet sitting needs.
Lisa was amazing! We left our cats for over a week which was a long time for them, they can be a little upset with us when we get home, but they were happy and curious, so I know Lisa spent some time each day with them playing and talking to them. She sent pictures everyday and was very quick to respond to any of our questions. She was absolutely wonderful and would highly recommend her! We'll definitely use her again in the future!

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 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.
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 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.
