“Absolutely comforting family to leave your pet with. As much as we missed Koda while we were away we knew he was in good hands. Samantha was great at keeping us posted on how things were going, with little messages and photos. Will definitely be contacting Samantha and her family for our next trip. Thanks again!”

About: I love dogs and can’t wait to take care of yours! I used to have a German shepherd that I trained and took care of. I’m a chief belly rubs administrator looking for my next furry friend 🐾 I work from home in my house and my schedule is very flexible to address any potty breaks and walks needs. I’m available all week long My yard is unfenced but we can use a stick and leash method. I love long walks on a leash in my picturesque neighbourhood. I can travel around to get to your pet
About: I have had dogs since I was 7, but I can say I have properly taken care of them since I was 12. I love dogs! I have a playful husky who will also help make feel your dog at home. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to walk your dog and I will also be able to give them cuddles, that won’t be like yours but that can make up for them on the mean time. I have a backyard but the dogs stay indoors to keep them safe. There’s plenty of space for them to play inside and outside; and they will go on walks around the neighborhood with me.
“Shannon a gardé Marley notre berger australien pendant 4 jours et cela s’est super bien passé. Elle est très sympathique et la communication a été super bonne. Nous avons eu plusieurs photos de notre chien pendant le séjour. Shannon dispose d’un grand terrain et d’une forêt proche de sa maison ce qui a été agréable pour promener notre chien. Nous referons appel à elle pour une prochaine fois et nous recommandons Shannon pour le gardiennage de chien ! :)”
“Brittany is the very definition of an animal lover. Her and her family treated our furry family member as one of her own and was extremely accommodating, attentive and responsive. Would recommend!”
“Nous avons laissé Skitz une semaine avec Linda et nous avons eu me bonheur d'avoir des nouvelles souvent, ainsi que des photos où on le voyait s'amuser avec tous ces autres amis chiens ;)”

- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you

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.

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 .
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 .
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.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.

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.
