“My two cats received excellent care and attention they needed. They were fed twice daily, replenished their water bowls and fountains, played with them and cleaned their litter box. Each visit I got an update text, which calmed my separation anxiety. Kathy R. is very friendly, trustworthy and dependable. Highly recommend, you will not be disappointed! I will schedule again.”
“Charis was absolutely incredible!! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our kitties for the first time. She was so quick to reply and sent so many pictures of the cats during her drop in visits and i could tell they felt safe and comfortable around her! She took very great care of our pets and I will absolutely book her again!”
“Molly took great care of our boys. She left detailed notes and documented with lots of photos. It was nice to not worry about them while we were away. Molly went above and beyond for our fur babies and we are so grateful.”
About: I want to take care of peoples pets like they are my own. I’ve had my own pets (cat and dog) my whole life. I also take care of dogs and cats for other people all the time. When I am home from college. I am usually very free all the time and I love taking care of you guys dogs and cats! I will make sure to follow all the clients rules and watch them like the pets are my own. I will always make sure to leave everything clean and treat the houses like my own.
“Shelby did a great job with our pups. We will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her for anyone else looking for someone to take care of and love their pups.”
About: I’ve had animals all my life! When I was 9 we had 3 cats, 4 dogs, a parrot and an aviary of small birds. Over the years I’ve taken care of all sorts of breeds from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Currently I have a semi-reactive pitbull rescue so I’m very sensitive to any special interaction needs. I work from home so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can pop in pretty much anytime for walks or visits, and overnight care on weeknights is no problem. I can be in your home with your furry one as much or as little as you’d like. Whether they’re couch potatoes or avid walkers, I’m there to keep them occupied, loved and fed (occasionally with some homemade treats).
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life but especially since i was 12. The past 3 years I worked as a Veterinary technician and got to learn how take care of and treat all pups. When dogs boarded at my old clinic I would feed, medicate (if needed), water, potty, and especially love on the pups. I’m currently unemployed so my schedule is very open for dog walks, pet sitting, etc. I do have one dog of my own who i take care of everyday! I personally would not board or pet sit at my house but can come over and walk/ pet sit your pups no problem! I can come over and feed, walk, play, and of course love on your pups.
“Candie came by to let the dogs out, made sure they had plenty of fresh water, and even spent extra time with them beyond what was scheduled. It's clear they genuinely care about the animals they look after. Knowing my dogs were well cared for and getting extra attention gave me great peace of mind. She even followed all speciality instructions. I highly recommend Candie and will definitely use her services again!”
“Unity was wonderful and gave us updates and pictures with every visit. We even had a little ant problem and Unity took care of it for us. It really shows that Unity loves animals and they love her.”
About: I have been around dogs my entire life and I certainly enjoy being around them and making sure they are loved and cared for. I am extremely comfortable around dogs as well having a knack for quick training. I have had the responsibility of caring for my family pup for the time that I was living with my mother. I miss taking care of my dog greatly, and I think this opportunity to walk other pups is a great way to fill that void. I am currently a student and a part time worker at whole foods, but I do have availability during the week and some times during the weekend, I can make special arrangements if needed. Im excited to meet you and your fur baby!?
About: When looking for a sitter, trusting and learning the human that cares for you is all that your pets know how to do. My skills include dog behavior techniques and relaxed mental discipline. Finding a pets strength and weakness takes time and it is prominent that the caretaker ensure proper, sustainable care for your babies. I have not worked with many animals but I assure that over time I will become a great friend to your furry best friend. My flexibility is fully open currently. Finding a full time position with your pet is very important. Growing and learning your furry friends is most important to me. My two dogs Lokey and Sky are usually independent when it comes to what they need and when it is needed. Potty breaks are usually every 2 to 4 hours, as well as outside play time. We usually stay out for 15 to 30 minutes. Walks are solely for my pets. I allow them to sniff, play and take breaks when needed. Evenings are usually the best times for a walk, it’s not too cool nor hot, it’s just right.
“Amy is amazing with Oscar! She is always on time, sends lots of pictures and updates, and spends quality time playing with him. It's clear she genuinely cares about him, and I always have peace of mind knowing he's in such good hands.”
“Immediately upon meeting Avary, all 4 of our dogs were completely comfortable with her which speaks volumes. She was flexible and followed all directions for our pups. When she had a question, she asked instead of guessing. Avary gave our dogs love and checked in regularly. I was so nervous leaving them in the care of someone new but Avary did not disappoint. She showed that the wellbeing of our dogs were her top priority.”
About: Ever since i was a little girl, i've had a special compassion for all animals. Caring for them for friends, family, neighbors and coworkers. From playful puppies and kittens bursting with energy to wise old seniors, i've loved them all! Whether it's sticking to medication routine or helping a young one learn the ropes, i'm all in. No matter their age or needs, im genuinely happy to brighten their day and make them feel loved! Hi! I am currently working a part time job, which allows me to have more flexibility throughout the week! I'd love to spend my time taking care of some precious furry friends. I am available throughout the week at any time, for house sitting, overnight sitting or walks through out the day! I live in a small suburban neighborhood, with a fenced in backyard, and a sweet cat who keeps to herself. Im open to crate training dogs for overnight stays.
“Chloe is always so wonderful to have do drop in visits for my cats while I’m out of town. She’s extremely reliable and very communicative. I appreciate her every time she stops in and always look to her first to rebook.”
About: I am a multi dog owner who has 20+ years of care giving experience with all sorts of animals. Currently I spend my days with my 2 pups taking walks, playing, and cuddling. I am extremely blessed to have a very flexible and open schedule that I would love to fill caring for your dogs & puppies! I love spending time with pets and look forward to hanging out with your furry friends very soon!
About: Hello, pet lovers and owners! I have grown up with a variety of animals all my life and have always had a passionate love for them. I was a dog groomer for about 2 years. This allowed my knowledge of animals to grow, I am very familiar with dogs body language and the way they communicate with it. I have worked with all kinds of dogs, different dog breeds, dogs with behavioral challenges, dogs with health issues, and am knowledgeable on the ways to adapt to their needs. I would be happy to take care of any grooming needs for your animals as well. I have also worked at a veterinary hospital as a receptionist and a kennel tech at a humane society . I have a worked with animals for years and have never met one I didn’t love. I currently work 4 days a week, 8 hour shifts. On those days I can stop by before and after work to hang out with your pups. I am able to stay overnight on those days as well. The other 3 days of the week my availability is open! I don’t offer my home up for pets because I am in an apartment. However, when at a clients home I respect their space and privacy. I listen to their boundaries and do not cross them. If staying over night I always clean up after myself and the dogs of course.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life, and I currently have one amazing pup of my own! My love for dogs naturally turned into a career—I started out doing dog- and housesitting for years, eventually moving into a kennel role handling boarding and basic grooming. Now, as a Veterinary Technician, I get to combine my lifelong hands-on experience with professional clinical knowledge to make sure every dog I meet is happy, healthy, and well-cared for. As a veterinary technician, animal care is my full-time passion. I work manageable 7-hour shifts, meaning your pets will never be alone for extended periods. My daily routine involves early morning care and walks before my shift, and my evenings are completely dedicated to pet enrichment, feeding routines, and house-sitting. Having managed kennel boarding and cared for dogs my entire life, integrating new pets into a safe, reliable, and structured daily routine is second nature to me. Whether at my place or yours, I prioritize safety and a stress-free routine. In your home, I have years of house-sitting experience and know how to make pets feel secure when their family is absent, all while treating your home with the utmost respect. If hosting at my house, I draw on my professional boarding experience to safely manage introductions with my own pets and maintain a peaceful environment. From administering complex medications to basic grooming, I bring a veterinary technician's eye to everyday pet 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.
