“Caroline does a great job with our cats. We have booked her multiple times now and will continue to do so in the future. Our one cat can be a little needy and all of her many needs get met each time.”
“We couldn't be happier with the care Candy provides for our dog Sophie. At 13 years old, Sophie has unique needs, and Candy handles them with remarkable patience, kindness, and attention to detail. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Knowing Sophie is safe, comfortable, and loved while we're at work is invaluable. Candy is truly wonderful, and we highly recommend her services.”
“Shannon is very kind with humans and pets. She took care of my dog while I was away for a week. She was extremely reliable, making each visit on time. Shannon gave my dog his daily medications and treated the diarrhea my dog usually gets when I am away. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of.”
“I have booked with Cori multiple times and she is lovely. She is very caring and communicative. I have a more difficult cat and he loves her. Will definitely be a returning as long as she will have me 🥰”
“Rachel took excellent care of Alfie and Mattie, sent us daily updates and photos, and gave us great peace of mind that “our boys” were very well taken care of. We highly recommend Rachel!”
“Mariah was amazing and gave us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were away! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares deeply about your dogs!”
“Shelby was amazing with my little maniacs. She made it a great first experience using Rover for both them & myself. Highly recommend & will be booking with her again! Thank you so much, Shelby, for taking such great care of my littles!”
“Elizabeth was absolutely AMAZING! She took such great care of my fur babies. I got to fully enjoy my vacation because I knew my cats were in good hands. We can't thank Elizabeth enough 😊😊😊”
“Daniel took amazing care of our two cats while we were away for a week. We really appreciated the great communication and detailed daily updates and photos. The cats seemed really well taken care of, their feeding areas were super clean, and it was clear that he took time to play with them and try to gain our shy one's trust. We felt really comfortable with Daniel and would definitely book him again. Thank you again!! 😺”
About: I've been around dogs since the day I was born, and have always been an animal lover. I currently care for two of my own mini aussiedoodles, and have done pet sitting and walking for neighbors, friends, and family for years. I know every animal has a different personality, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable and happy! Whether your pet loves long walks, playtime, belly rubs, or simply having someone to keep them company, I'm happy to match their needs. As a co-owner of a residential cleaning business, I understand the importance of reliability, professionalism, and respecting both your home and your routine. I'll always follow care instructions carefully and keep you updated with photos and messages! My schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week. I keep my Rover calendar updated and only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. Once we have confirmed a booking, you can count on me to be dependable and focused on giving your pet the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Before each booking, I will take the time to learn your pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so that I can provide the best possible experience. During walks, I ensure collars and harnesses are secure and always prioritize safe routes and positive interactions. For drop-in visits, I'll follow your pet's normal routine, provide love and attention, and treat your home with the same care and respect as I would my own.
About: I am a recent new graduate Physician Assistant and looking for employment. I have always adored animals and have pet sat for friends and families’ pets over the years. As a new graduate looking for a job, I have a lot of new free time on my hands and cannot think of a better way to fill the extra time that I have and to help make a little money than spending time and caring for animals! I am open to dog walking as well as drop in visits and overnight stays with you pet in your home! I will treat your pets with the same love, care, and attention that I give my own. Their safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and you can trust that they’ll be in kind and responsible hands. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family member(s)! My hours at the hospital very, however, they are typically four shifts per week during the weekdays at varying hours. I am usually free both weekend days. My availability changes quite often and I will keep my profile updated! I am open to walking or doing drop in visits before and after visits and overnight visits when available! Please reach out if you have specific questions regarding availability. I am comfortable handling pets with a variety of needs. I was lucky enough to foster a beagle with diabetes with my college roommates, and this required administering daily insulin shots along with several oral medications.
“Disha was perfect with Kaos - he’s a shy boy but he warmed up to her immediately and she did an excellent job watching him while I was away for the weekend!”
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals of all kinds, including cats, dogs, turtles, goats, chickens, and ducks. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and it’s something I’m genuinely passionate about. I’m definitely a cat person at heart, but I absolutely love dogs too! My boyfriend is allergic, so having a dog of our own isn’t really an option. Pet sitting gives me the perfect excuse to get my dog fix and give them all the attention, walks, playtime, and love I’d give one of my own. I’ve also volunteered as a dog walker at the Humane Society, where I gained experience walking and handling dogs with a variety of sizes, personalities, and energy levels. Recently, I rescued two separate litters of kittens and helped care for them, including bottle-feeding and providing the extra attention young kittens need. I also have more than 10 years of experience house-sitting and caring for pets for numerous families. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own, and I’d love the opportunity to give your pets that same care and affection! I work from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. on weekdays. Depending on the distance from my work, I may be able to stop in during my lunch break, and I’m available after work and throughout the evening. My weekends are completely open, giving me plenty of flexibility to spend time with your pets and work around their normal routine. My goal is to make your absence feel like as little has changed as possible for your pet. I’ll follow their normal feeding, walking, playtime, and care routines while giving them plenty of attention and affection. I’ll also treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show my own.
“Jenna took great care of my cat! She was punctual, communicative, responsible, and I felt safe leaving my cat in her care. I came back home to a happy and healthy cat. Thanks Jenna! ☺️”
“Ryan was an excellent find! Pleasant, dependable, and responsive, he did a fantastic job of taking care of my three cats while we were away for almost two weeks. Not only did he take care of my boys, he also brought in all the packages that we received while we were gone. He will be my first call when I need a pet care from here on out. Thanks Ryan!!”
About: Hello! I recently joined back on Rover. During Covid, my husband and I became parents to a little boy and it was time to take a break. Now I'm back! I work remotely and my schedule is pretty flexible during the day. I'm available for walks, check-in, and doggy daycare (in your home, sorry I don't like to stress my cat out with new animal friends). A little background: I have always grown up with medium to large dogs and have dog sat for family/friends for over 10 plus years. I have a cat named Cali (6 years old) and have had dogs and many types of fish growing up. I love all types of animals so I am happy to take care of any other family members you may have. I am very responsible and will always be punctual to any appointments, as well as be easy to contact. You can contact me by email, text, or call. I'm happy to play, walk, and care for your pets and of course, am very willing to put forth the patience and time needed to get to know your dog. I also love the outdoors, and will happily run/walk with your more energetic dogs. Thank you! As a stay-at-home mom, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide daytime walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I enjoy spending time outdoors, staying active, and giving pets the attention, exercise, and companionship they need. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to keep their routine as normal as possible. I'll follow all feeding, walking, medication, and care instructions while making sure your pet receives plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel comfortable while you're away. At this time, I am primarily offering dog walks and drop-in visits for all animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
About: I have been taking care of and training my own dogs for the last 20 years. With my love of dogs and desire to be active I am excited to get to know some new furry friends and give them some extra love & attention and get outside! I like to stay active and have a flexible schedule that allows me to be available at different times throughout the week and possibly weekends. My goal is to safely greet and get to know your pet and get them outside for a nice long walk or short leisurely stroll depending on their needs.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Brookside
We couldn't be happier with the care Candy provides for our dog Sophie. At 13 years old, Sophie has unique needs, and Candy handles them with remarkable patience, kindness, and attention to detail. She is reliable, caring, and clearly loves animals. Knowing Sophie is safe, comfortable, and loved while we're at work is invaluable. Candy is truly wonderful, and we highly recommend her services.
Luke is so sweet, trustworthy and his communication skills are spot on! We needed to find someone to replace our former dog sitter and my bestie recommended using Rover. We have never used an outside source and I was somewhat anxious wondering how I was going to find the right person. My anxious was swept away as soon as I started communicating with Luke. He even went out of his way to come to our house prior to our event date to introduce himself and meet our dogs and as soon as I met him, I knew I had picked the right guy. He's a Godwink and according to our dogs, he's their guy now ;o) I highly recommend him - he's a beautiful human and I can't say enough about his communication - it's very important to me and he does it very well.
Lillian did a great job with our dog. We had Lillian stop by while we were at work for the day to let our dog out and to play. Our dog is high energy, and gets over excited sometimes, but Lillian was perfect with her. We also received pictures and an update afterwards. Highly recommend!
Kennedy was very flexible and picked up my booking on very short notice! She was extremely kind, respectful, and responsive. She was attentive to all my cats needs, asked questions on how to care for him best, and listened to all my requests. I had extra tasks I didn’t expect to get accomplished(because I do give my cat princess treatment) but she accomplished them all!!! 100000/10! Would recommend.
Shannon is very kind with humans and pets. She took care of my dog while I was away for a week. She was extremely reliable, making each visit on time. Shannon gave my dog his daily medications and treated the diarrhea my dog usually gets when I am away. I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing my dog was well taken care of.
I asked for a visit as I went out of town and needed someone for the last day as I had no idea what time I was coming home. I gave instructions and told him that he can leave after doing what was asked since I knew my cat was going to come out. I appreciate the stop by and making sure my cat had food as I was super worried that she was going to go hungry. Thank you for visiting and taking my request last minute.
Erika was kind enough to accept a drop in visit with our two pups while we were visiting PA from out of town and had a sitter cancel on us last minute! Erika even found the time to stop over for a short meet and greet prior to coming back later to feed and take care of our dogs! Erika was incredibly kind and easy to communicate with. I would highly recommend her to anyone! :)
We have used Tessa previously and were so happy that she was available to drop in on our cat while we were away. She communicates well and sent us some great feedback about how our guy was doing, as well as pictures. We plan on using 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 .
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.
