“She was the best and took amazing care of my golden while I was out of town. Sent lots of pictures and ensured Dolly was taken care of the whole time. Will definitely book again and highly recommend!”
“Brittany was great! My cat is very skittish and never came out of hiding but she did a great job of communicating with me and lessening my worries while thousands of miles away. Will be using her again in the future!”
“Henriette was wonderful with our 2 girls. I could tell from the first meeting that they liked her. The updates were a comfort knowing they were being fed and walked on time. I would definitely use her again.”
About: Neighbors have relied on us to take care of their dog for long periods of time! We’d love to have your pet join our family while you’re away! We both work full time on week days but have plenty of time in the day to take care of our own dog so adding yours to our day won’t be any trouble! We follow whatever routine the pet is used to. Walks, back yard play time, big couch for snuggles, and loving children for all the pets your pet needs!
“As always, Haley was wonderful. She took wonderful care of our two dogs! She was caring, reliable, and treated them like her own. We came home to two happy pups and would definitely have her watch them again. Highly recommend!”
About: My husband and I love dogs and grew up with dogs of our own! Now we have a 3 year old lovable olde English bulldogge who likes to play with friends! We have a dog door, fenced in yard, and good flexible work schedules. We spend lots of time at home and will give your pup the love and care they need while you’re away! I work 1-2 days hybrid a week and the rest in office. My husband works 8-3 and I work 8-4. We are home weekends. We have a dog door and spend our evening at home. We give lots of love and walks but your dog would have access to a safe outdoor area 24/7 with our tall wood shadow box fence. We have the most chill flexible dog so we can adapt our schedule to your pets needs. We treat every pet we meet like our own! We love dogs and spoil ours! We do train our pets and are good at working with others when needed. We do have a medium sized crate if needed for your dog but ours is not crate trained. We will follow whatever directions you leave us! We want your dog to feel at home whether in our home or yours.
“Kelsey made sure to take out doggy on an extra long walk this time! So very grateful to her for the way she takes such extra good care of our two babies! Can’t thank or express our appreciation enough!”
“Abby is a dog whisperer! She’s a kind human who was super easy to coordinate with. She followed all my instructions and my dogs were very comfortable with her. I’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Katie was marvelous with Princess and Gizmo! She truly understands the boxer breed because she is also a boxer mom. When we got home last night from the Green Day we could tell they had a great time with Katie! In a month and a half we will be going to Orlando, FL for a vacation and Katie will be called upon to care for Princess and Gizmo again ! Thank you Katie for taking such wonderful care of our fur-babies!”
“Always does a great job with Herschel and follows instructions perfectly. I can Herschel really likes him and Herschel doesn’t like many people. Would definitely recommend for anyone else.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 16, and I've trained my own pup from just a few weeks old into a well behaved companion. I often house-sit and watch the animals of friends and family, because they trust me to take good care of their things, and this has given me experience with all different types of breeds of dogs and many cats as well. I set my own work schedule and work from home when I want to, so I have plenty of flexibility! I’m also very active, walking or running around 5 miles a day, and love keeping the dogs active too! We have a spacious home with a fenced backyard, shared with our 1-year-old neutered pup, Bo! We can separate dogs if needed, and I love staying active with multiple walks and plenty of playtime throughout the day!
About: I’ve been pet sitting for many years and truly love caring for animals of all kinds. With plenty of experience, I understand how important it is to keep your pets safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I’m dependable, flexible with scheduling, and always willing to work with you to meet your pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, medication, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help! I work a full-time rotating schedule where I’m on for 7 days straight and then off for 7 days. My work week always starts on a Thursday and ends on a Wednesday. During those 7 workdays, I’m working full-time each day. After that, I get a full week off to rest and take care of personal things. It’s a repeating cycle—7 days on, 7 days off—so every other week I’m either working or completely off I pet sit because I genuinely love what I do — and animals love me back. Their comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. When pets stay with me in my home, they become part of the family. I make sure every animal is well-fed, always has fresh water, and most importantly — plenty of playtime and affection. They get a safe, loving environment where they can relax and feel right at home. When I care for pets in your home, I follow all instructions to the letter — from feeding and medication routines to special care details. I send regular photo updates so you always know how your furry friend is doing, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. Respecting your space and your pet’s routine is always a priority. Whether they’re staying with me or I’m staying with them, your pet gets the same thing: love, attention, and top-notch care.
About: A lifetime of loving animals—messy paws, big personalities, and all! 🐾❤️ I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, from tiny kittens and wild puppies to big dogs and senior pets who need a little extra patience and care. I’ve experienced it all—the zoomies, the accidents, the big messes, the little messes, and most importantly, all the love that comes with them! I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every animal in my care like family. Whether your pup needs a long walk and lots of playtime, your cat prefers some quiet companionship, or your senior pet needs a little extra TLC, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Big or small, young or old, energetic or a total couch potato—I love them all! 🐶🐱💕 I currently work as a chiropractor in Franklin: Monday: 8:30-5 Tuesday: 1-6:45 Wednesday: 8:30-1:30 Thursday: 9:30-6 Friday: 8:30-1:30 I am off on the weekends and major holidays. I provide care in your pet’s home, where they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment and routine. I’m respectful of your home and will follow your instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medications, walks,, and any house or pet-care preferences you have.

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.
