“Emily was very reliable and responsive, and great with my cats. She went out of her way to spend time getting to know them and making sure they were happy. I really enjoyed the updates and photos every day.”
“Tracie, thank you so much! We came home to a neat and clean home and you took such good care of Jinx. Thank you for going above and beyond! I hope we can rely on your again in the future!”
“I recently went out of town for a week, and as always, Emma did a fantastic job with my cat Lilo. Li can be a little shy, but Emma has been great at making her feel comfortable and helping her come out of her shell. Thanks Emma!”
“Nicole took great care of my kitties while I was away out of the country. She was super responsive and consistent and I was comfortable that they were in good hands. She appreciated their individual personalities and sent great daily updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to ask Nicole to watch my animals or home next trip.”
“Jason was very punctual and responsible with taking care of our two cats. He always sent us pictures and this was reassuring as we were so far away! We will definitely be using Jason again!”
“Riley was great!! I recommend her to help you with your pet needs! She was great with feeding and medication administration and everything else with my Schweet babe needed!”
“Mina was caring and attentive to Otto, making us feel comfortable being away. She sent pictures of Otto from her visits. She did everything we requested to care for our cat and our house in our absence. I would feel completely comfortable hiring her again during our travel!”
About: I’m taking a break from work to pass an exam. I now have all day availability and I adore dogs! I have grown up with dogs my entire life and now I have two of my own! I’ve helped out with Lab Rescue and I’m currently looking to help out with BARCS. I love dogs so much and I will treat them as part of my family! I have all day availability 8am through 10 pm. I’m very flexible and willing to work together to do what I can to make anything work! I will follow anything asked! If there are specific harnesses used, your dog is muzzle trained, etc.. I am willing to learn whatever I need to to keep your pet and everyone safe.
“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”
“Brian really came through for us at the last minute! Our usual house sitter had an emergency and had to leave two days before the end of our trip, and Brian jumped in to help even though he had never cat sit for us before. He was attentive to detail and kept us updated with pictures. Thanks again Brian you really saved our vacation!”
“Molly was fantastic through the whole process and arrived when she said she would. My cats are super sweet, but due to moving have been a little extra skittish around people. They immediately took to Molly and she took great care of them. I highly recommend her for all your pet care needs!”
“Margaret was wonderful! She visited us to meet Riley and learn her routine before we officially booked her. She kept us up-to-date on her visits and I could tell Riley took to her so easily. I felt so comfortable getting away and knowing our pup was happy and taken care of. I will definitely book Margaret again!”
About: I have six years of hands on experience with dogs, including volunteering at the Baltimore SPCA, where I handled intake, socialization, and daily care for dogs of all temperatures. I have also trained the dogs that I have had. I work full-time, but my schedule rotates every three weeks — so I always have afternoons free after four, plus two full days off each week. That means I’m available for midday walks, evening visits, and weekend coverage without any gaps. My dogs get a set daily rhythm in the morning and evening walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of rest so I know firsthand what a consistent routine looks like from the inside. Also I follow the owner’s routine exactly feeding times, meds, play, potty breaks and send photo updates after each visit so they always know how their pet’s doing.
About: Ive had my first dog since i was 4 he was my preschool graduation present and is still with me today! i also have an 8 year old chihuahua and 2 cats. ive pet sit for my friends and family many times when they go on vacation Im currently a college student and im taking a few classes this summer im available to stop in during the day whenever needed or in the afternoon I set picture updates and make sure they always seem happy and comfortable as well as give them a lot of attention and love. .
About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
About: I am very attentive to my fur babies I have a 11 year old and a 1 year old their names are Milo and King. King needs a little more TLC he has congestive heart failure and has to take heart meds for the rest of his life. Milo is a ball of energy he keeps me on my feet he love to play run and belly rubs. Dog grooming is also available if needed for your furry fur baby. Pet care is very important to me. Proper pet care is the basis of responsible pet ownership. Caring for an animal can help make you feel needed and wanted, and take the focus away from your problems. I have 2 small dogs who loves company King is old and set in his ways so he doesn’t play much just bark and Milo is the social one he gets along with all dogs. There is a dog bark near by that I take him to so he can run jump and play with other fur babies

Nicole took great care of my kitties while I was away out of the country. She was super responsive and consistent and I was comfortable that they were in good hands. She appreciated their individual personalities and sent great daily updates and pictures. I would not hesitate to ask Nicole to watch my animals or home next trip.
Emily is a gem. She has watched our 3 cats (1 a diabetic who requires insulin twice a day) several times and has always done a terrific job. Our last trip, Emily visited faithfully despite having to blaze a trail to the house following a raging snowstorm. I cannot praise her enough.
This was our first booking with Emily and the first time we've left our crew of 3 kitties with anyone new. One of ours is a newly diagnosed diabetic with the need for 2x/daily insulin. Given that she was new to her and I was gone, our pouting sassy little girl was not exactly cooperative especially the first night, despite the terrific freindly meet and greet ahead of booking. Emily was very patient and creatively worked through things for the two days. We will definately use her again and with familiarity, my sassy clingy cat will be way easier...we hope. Thank you Emily!

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.
