“Isabelle s’est occupée de mes deux chats et mes deux poissons lorsque j’étais parti en vacances en Irlande. Ma chatte Lexie est asthmatique et Isabelle lui a donné sa pompe et elle étais confortable avec ça. Même avec le décalage d’horaire Isabelle répondait à mes messages très vite. J’ai aussi apprécié les photos à tout les jours. Merci Isabelle !”

“Tori did a wonderful job looking after our three cats. She was consistently on time and genuinely attentive, taking the extra moments to pet them and spend real quality time with each of them. She also cleaned up any messes they made, keeping everything neat and stress-free for us. She is definitely our go-to person for pet care, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, thoughtful, and dedicated.”

“Christine was our first catsitter, from Rover, with Mario and Luigi. I felt really good leaving for 5 days, knowing that we had an established schedule and a list of extra info for Christine. She did amazing! I had news/pics daily. I am so pleased with Christine’s care. I especially appreciated the daily entries in a journal left for me 🤩. It was fun to read! Thank you so so much Christine 😻😻”

About: Depuis mon enfance, j’ai toujours été entourée de chiens. Ayant grandi avec des huskys et d’autres grands chiens, j’ai acquis une solide expérience et une aisance naturelle pour les promenades et les soins quotidiens. J’ai également eu la chance de partager ma vie avec mon propre chien pendant douze années, ce qui a renforcé mon attachement profond aux animaux. De plus, je suis famille d’accueil pour la SPCA, où j’ai pris soin d’animaux ayant parfois des besoins particuliers. Cette expérience m’a permis de développer de grandes compétences en matière de suivi de consignes, d’observation attentive et de surveillance de l’état de santé . Je vous remercie de l’attention portée à ma candidature et demeure disponible pour toute rencontre ou échange à votre convenance. Je suis disponible du lundi au vendredi et la fin de semaine selon les besoins . La fréquence et la durée de mes visites seront planifier selon vos attentes et besoins Je suis une personne de confiance , respectueuse, mature et discrète. Je prendrais soin de vos animaux et serais disponible à suivre vos indications .

“Emily took amazing care of my cat. My cat is a little nervous around new people and quickly spent a lot of time on the couch beside Emily and played with her. I am very happy with her service.”

About: I grew up with dogs and have always considered them family. Our first dog, Sasha, was adopted four months before I was born and had significant behavioural needs. She was my best friend for thirteen wonderful years, and caring for her taught me patience, attentiveness, and how important it is to meet each dog where they are. Since then, my family has had two more dogs, and I’ve gained experience caring for seniors, managing specialized diets, preparing food, and handling unexpected veterinary concerns. Our current dog, Zyler, has canine megaesophagus and requires specialized food preparation and feeding techniques. He’s a lot of work, but he’s also the absolute love of my life! I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and taking the time to make sure each dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I am a full time student. I have 3-5 hours of non-negotiable commitments during the week, but I am a homebody and I can be around constantly outside of synchronous in-person classes. I am free Tuesdays. Saturday’s and Sunday’s without restrictions I care for pets by taking my cues from your animal. Having been a foster volunteer, I am aware of signals and cues and how to respect an animal’s boundaries while caring for their needs. I am the cleanest, most respectful house guest and will leave the place immaculate. I will respect homeowners predefined boundaries while providing as much play and cuddles possible.

About: I’ve had animals in my life for as long as I can remember—from my family’s childhood terrier and lab, to cats who were part of our family for 16 years, to our sweet labradoodle Lyekka whom we cherished for 15 years. Today, we share our home with Chester, our energetic 3-year-old. Having cared for pets through every stage of life, I treat every animal with the same patience, love, and attention I give my own. Working a standard 9-to-5 office schedule means I provide a wonderfully predictable and structured routine during the work week—quiet downtime while I'm out, followed by high-energy focus the moment I'm back. Evenings and weekends are dedicated to active play, long walks, and burning off pet energy. Because I genuinely thrive on the vitality and playfulness that pets bring, weekends are wide open for outdoor adventures, fetch sessions, and keeping them thoroughly engaged and happy. Whether hosting in my home alongside my friendly orange tabby Chester or visiting a client's place, safety and engagement are my top priorities. I utilize my evenings, and weekends to channel pets' natural energy through fun walks, play sessions, and attentive care in a calm, secure setting

Yes, you can find sitters who can care for your pet within 24 hours. Many sitters can respond to messages in under an hour.

To find the fastest available match, message multiple sitters with a recent "calendar last updated" notice on their profiles.

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.

Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Ribot choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!

Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they do not have any disqualifying offences.

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.

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.

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.

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.
