“Lyndsay provided 2 drop in visits for our dog. She was great! She gave us timely updates, and we knew he was in great hands with her while we were out of state for the day. Would highly recommend her and we will continue to request her when needed.”
“Lisa was so loving and attentive with our cats! She was immediately in tune with each of their (very) different personalities and understood the needs of both. We had been anxious about ensuring one of our cats got his newly prescribed medication but Lisa eased our fears and made sure to give us a thorough recap each evening. We would highly recommend Lisa to care for your pets and will book with her again for future needs.”
“Amanda was great. She did a meet and greet which was great. She communicated when she visited our kitty and provided pictures and a video. We would definitely use Amanda again.”
“Cade went above and beyond what I had asked. They cleaned up after my cats when they made a mess and updated me after every visit on if my asthmatic cat had any incidents. Also both of my cats absolutely loved them. Even my rescue who is very terrified of new people entering the apartment. Will be requesting services again. Thank you!”
“Kara is always the best with our golden Cam! He always looks so happy in the pictures she sends, and it makes me so glad that he is having fun while we are away! 😊🐾🦮♥️”
“Five stars! I’d double them if I could. First of all Brianna agreed to watch Sasha without even meeting her or us. We all took a leap of faith and I feel it paid off. Through consistent text messages and photos she managed to ease any apprehensions I may have had on this last minute booking. I can’t thank Brianna enough and have her in my contact list if I ever need another sitter. First round draft pick!”
About: I’ve always loved being around animals and have experience caring for dogs of different sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I’m comfortable with regular walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and making sure pets get plenty of attention while their people are away. I have a dog of my own, so I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person caring for your pet. I’m dependable, attentive to the little things, and happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and care instructions. My goal is simply to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m available for pet care on Wednesdays, when I work remotely, as well as on weekends. My weekday availability is more limited since I’m in the office Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, but I’m happy to work with your schedule when I can. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll take the time to get to know your pet, follow your care instructions, and keep their routine as consistent as possible. I’m attentive during walks and visits and will always be mindful of their surroundings and individual needs.
“I really appreciate you taking the time to do a meet and greet ahead of time and then all the photos while I was away. It was good peace of mind to know you were there taking care of them. Thanks, Nishat for looking after my fur babies :).”
“Dannelle deserves 10 stars. She was so helpful on such short notice, she sent pictures everyday, and also text me when she got to my house and left. Can't say enough good things about her!”
“Renee really cares about animals and was super sweet to our very needy and sometimes difficult dog. She helped us out so we could enjoy our wedding night :) Thank you so much Renee!!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets my whole life, so that’s 25 years of loving animals, but just 11 years as the sole caregiver of my own. From Labradors to Chihuahuas, to Police K-9s, I’ve loved them all, though I’m currently a cat lady. For the first time in my life, I don’t have any dogs at the moment, as I don’t feel like I have enough space for it to be fair to them. So this is how I get my dog fix, and my steps in at the same time 🤭. I currently have 2 cats and 1 hedgehog, I’m a sucker for an exotic pet. I’ve also had 4 snakes in the past (my husband is terrified or else I’d have some right now). One of my cats is leash trained, and one has some medical needs, so I’m familiar with oral medication administration as well. I do work full-time during the week, so I am only available after 5pm. Sometimes I’m able to step away for breaks as I work from home 3 days per week, but my work is pretty irregular, so afternoons and evenings are the best bet for my availability. I live in a relatively small condo, so I don’t have much space. As much as I would love to offer boarding, I don’t think it would be fair to your pet, as I also do not have a yard. BUT I’m more than happy to stop by your home and fulfill any requests!
About: I've always had a dog throughout my entire life. At this current moment, I have 28 pets which include 1 dog, 1 bunny, 1 goat, 2 goats, and 23 chickens. During some weeks throughout the year, I take of my neighbors' pigs and ducks An extremely ambitious individual who absolutely adores pets. I grew up on a farm with multiple animals. I have a massive dog named Benny who is full of energy. I was a college runner at Hofstra and can take on dogs of all sizes. I can take of your pet(s) walking needs and nutritional needs. If needed I can stay overnight with your pet to make sure he gets all of his bathroom breaks, water, and food!!
About: I’ve grew up with a dog, I have a cat now, and I’ve always loved animals. My neighbors, friends, and family have consistently relied on me for pet care. I’ve even helped animals with disabilities, such as blindness. I work a hybrid job, and I have more flexibility on Tuesdays and Fridays. Saturdays and Sundays I am completely open. I can do early mornings or evenings on the other days. I am comfortable with however you need me to care for your animals in your home. Whatever level of access given or expectations of care works for me.
About: I work at an emergency vet and have ample shelter experience, meaning that I love to take care of any type of animal. Have cats? Amazing! Have dogs? Also amazing! Have Chickens? Also also amazing! Whether your dog is super social or has stranger danger—I will gladly take care of any breed of dog. As previously mentioned I do love stranger danger pups—with my shelter experience, I’m incredibly skilled and patient with going at their pace. If you do have a stranger danger dog, I will gladly meet up as many times as needed for them to be comfortable with me free of charge before services are needed :) I work nights, so I have a pretty flexible schedule! If there’s any special care needed, I would be happy to accommodate and chat! I’m very respectful of other’s homes—I will cater to the animal’s needs! Doesn’t matter if they have a unique feeding routine or if they’re high energy. I’m also educated on resource guarding, so just let me know what’s needed! :)
“Danielle is amazing! She is highly dependable and responds in a short period of time giving us peace of mind. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter. She has gone the extra with us and are so thankful to have her care for our baby girl.”
About: Hi! I’m Morgan! I’m a mom of two living in Gorham and an animal lover. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets and treat them like their own while you’re away. I’m available for dog walking, drop-in visits, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company and giving them some extra love and attention! I have a pretty flexible daytime schedule, especially during the afternoons, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine as much as possible. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable with different personalities and energy levels. I also completely understand wanting updates while someone else is caring for your pet, so I’m always happy to send pictures and let you know how they’re doing! I’d love to meet you and your pets and hopefully become someone you can regularly count on when you need an extra hand! I’m a stay at home mom and my daughter is in preschool half days now, so I have a very flexible schedule and could easily fit this in. Whether caring for pets in my home or at a client’s, I always provide a safe, loving, and clean environment. In my home, pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and comfort. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow their routine closely to keep them relaxed and happy. I treat every pet like family, no matter where they are.

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 .

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 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.
