About: I have a dog and a cat of my own whom I adore and spend lots of time with. I have experience dog and cat sitting before I got married and had my own pets. I'm now looking to make a living out of spending time with your pets. I am a stay at home mom with plenty of time to care for your pets. I can do visits in the morning, noon and night. I will care for your pets as if they were my own and will be sure your home is left in the condition in which you left it when you get back.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies to senior dogs for all my family and friends. Let me know your dogs needs and I’ll be happy to accommodate. I have always cherished my visits with them. From playing fetch to walks and snuggling on the couch. Just let me know what activities your dog enjoys. I even have an in ground pool if your dog enjoys swimming. I’m currently working full time. I’m available on weekends and holidays. Either for walks or overnight stays. Your dog will be extremely happy. You’ll get to enjoy a well deserved vacation. Maybe you have local activities to attend. Either way your dog will be well taken care of and all needs met. I have lived in my home in Reading for 13 years. It has a fenced in yard. My neighborhood is very walkable and has easy access to the fells reservation. Your dog will get tons of love, attention and exercise from me.
“I would highly recommend Steven for your pet. He is conscientious and was wonderfully kind to my old girl. She needed meds, which he gave right on time everyday. And even let me know when I was running low. And best of all his "proof of lifr" photos we're a God send.”
“We booked Claudine for a last minute trip and she was very easy to communicate with through the app. We needed someone to come by and give our cat some attention while we were gone and she did just that! We received some updates after her visits and felt better knowing someone was checking in.”
“Our little boy was so happy to be in Elizabeth’s hands! Even after she left, he was still jumping up and down listening to her videos! HIGHLY RECOMMEND- she is so accommodating and diligent!! Thank you!”
“Rosemary is THE BEST. She gives great updates (and the cutest pictures!) while watching our cats and I feel at ease leaving town knowing she is taking amazing care of them. She truly goes above and beyond!”
About: Hi, my name is Erin. My husband, Brendan, and I have our own Goldendoodle, Finn. Our 2 year old daughter loves her big brother. We have a fenced in backyard. We live in close proximity to the middlesex fells for long walks and puppy play time. We usually take Finn there every weekend so if your pup loves exercise, we would be a great match. I can promise that we will give your four legged pup all the snuggles and attention needed and make sure they enjoy their stay and wanting to come back if their owner travels a lot! I work from home 3 days a week and my husband’s office is less than a mile from our house. I can be flexible on my work from home days. We have a fenced in yard, and will take great care of your pup. We already have a dog proofed home thanks to Finn and our daughter!
About: My experience with animals is 10+ years. I currently have six reptiles including a snake and I have a black lab named Raven and some bettas, too. Other experience includes veterinary internships with hands-on experience, I worked at a farm, I worked at a doggy daycare, and I have passed vet technology courses online. My business is called Mac’s Petcare through which I walk dogs and take care of pets. I really enjoy my career and I would love to work with cats too! I currently only work with dogs but am definitely open to caring for cats. I can do weekdays from around 2-5PM!! I also accept other requests. I walk dogs from 10 AM-2 PM currently, and I love it very much❤️ I try to make sure they feel safe at all times and I make sure they have a good time as well👍😊💜 I absolutely love working with the animals!!

Kind, intuitive, and easy to work with. Wen Shin, with no advanced noticed, was able to meet me for a key hand off and immediately cover a weekend of drop-ins with my little guy. They took great care of him and followed all instructions. Looking forward to booking again!
Tatiana was a great and caring pet sitter for our cat Ash over the Thanksgiving Holiday! She accepted our booking quickly, set up a meet and greet before our trip, and was a prompt and friendly communicator (we liked the photo updates while we were away). Would highly recommend and would love to use her pet sitting services again!

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.

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 .
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.
