“Ariel was fantastic with Shelby. She gave our very active dog all the attention, exercise, and care she needed. It was clear she was happy and well looked after. We felt completely at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a child and owned a few so nothing really intimidates me about any dog or cat. But personally, I do love cats more. They’re just much more my personality. At the moment, I honestly do not have that much time but if I do have an open day, it’ll be on the weekends and I can move things around pretty flexibly Building trust with any living thing takes time and willingness to meet bumps in the road. I’m committed to making sure your pet and your space are well respected and taken care of.
“Katie was absolutely wonderful! She watched our dogs, Nico and Nora, while we were on vacation, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She was always punctual, incredibly patient, kind, and genuinely loving with both of our dogs. She also made such a great impression during our meet-and-greet by being so sweet and patient with my little girl, which meant a lot to us. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such caring hands while we were away. Katie is truly a wonderful person, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I'll provide exceptional care for your fur babies. Your fur babies will feel right at home when I'm caring for them. I'll treat them with the love and care that they deserve. I've had about a year of experience academically working with animals specifically dogs and cats in Florida. There In the Vet academy at my institution in Florida, we were taught various subjects from properly caring for animals to the internal properties of each kind of animal. That and among so much other things we've went over in regards to the animal anatomy. Also My availability is pretty much open so I'm free to spend some FUN time with your lovely pets! I so look forward to caring for your awesome pets soon n
About: Animals have always had a special place in my heart since childhood! 🐾 I have hands-on experience raising a puppy from 11 weeks old to one year old, which taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding a dog’s needs at different stages of development. I also regularly help care for my sister-in-law’s animals, including both dogs and cats. Having a veterinarian in the family has given me opportunities to be around animals and learn more about their care. I’m gentle, attentive, responsible, and careful with every animal I look after. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I always do my best to make them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Whether your pet is playful and energetic or shy and needs a little extra patience, I’ll treat them with the same love and care I would give my own. ❤️🐶🐱 I work full-time Monday through Friday until 2:30 PM, so I’m available for pet care during weekday afternoons and evenings, as well as weekends. I can plan my schedule around your pet’s needs and am happy to provide attentive, loving care, whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, or keeping your cats company while you’re away. I’m committed to being reliable, flexible, and making sure your pets feel safe and loved! 🐾❤️ I have a home with a half-acre fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy outdoor time, play, and explore safely under my supervision. 🐶🐾 I believe every pet deserves a safe, comfortable, and loving environment. When caring for pets in my home, I would follow their usual routines for feeding, playtime, exercise, and rest, while giving them plenty of attention and affection. In a client’s home, I would respect their space and carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, medications if needed, and any special care requirements. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’m gentle, responsible, and attentive, and I always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and individual needs. ❤️

“I give Iman 5 stars times 20. This is my first time using Rover and I selected Iman for home drop in visits for the week I was on work related travel. To say I was nervous is an understatement. However, from the time I met Iman I knew she was the right choice. I perceived her to be a gentle, compassionate and honest person. This was important to me considering the temperament of my fur babies. One is a rescue due to abuse and none have ever been border and I wanted them to stay in the comfort of their own home. Yes I got that vibe from just meeting her. Very positive ora and energy. Iman exceeded my expectation. My 4 fur babies took to her right away and she cared for them as I would. You can tell this is not just work for Iman it’s what she loves. She absolutely has a love for and way with animals.t antisocial cats were even drawn to her. She made sure the house was locked and secured each time and that the alarm was set. I will definitely continue to utilize her services for my fur babies. I can’t express my gratitude enough for having such an amazing and outstanding sitter. Also, they loved her dog food. ❤️”

About: With over 20 years of dedicated pet care experience, I provide compassionate and reliable services tailored to each pet’s unique needs. Whether it’s daily walks, administering medication, or offering overnight stays, I ensure your fur love bugs receive the utmost care and attention. My commitment to building trusting relationships with both pets and their owners has been the cornerstone of my long-standing career in pet sitting. As a dedicated pet sitter, I structure my daily and weekly schedule to ensure I am highly available and responsive to the needs of both pets and their owners. Caring for pets in their owners’ homes requires a combination of attentiveness, respect, and adherence to established routines to ensure the well-being of the animals and the security of the home.
About: I’ve had a family dog for 10 years that we walk everyday. I have been dog sitting for 7 years and love it every time. I’ve worked with all sorts of dogs from 4 week old puppies to a 160lb English mastiff. I will walk, feed, bathe, play, and love your dog while you can’t. I am an architecture student at Harvard. I love dogs and have a somewhat flexible class schedule to take care of yours! I can’t wait to have a dog of my own but shorter term stays with pets is the best I can manage at the moment. For services at your home, I’d treat your space with respect and courtesy. I’m thankful for your trust to let me into your home and would care for your pets however you see fit.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot recommend Maaliyah enough! She was absolutely wonderful with my French Bulldog, Chloe, and Boston Terrier, Celine! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, professional, and communicative. She made sure she understood everything about my girls and their routines, and even asked thoughtful questions to ensure they were comfortable and properly cared for. Maaliyah was kind enough to accommodate my last-minute booking, which I truly appreciated! She kept me updated throughout her visits, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my babies were in such caring and attentive hands. Both of my girls love attention, and I could tell Maaliyah treated them with the same love and patience I would. She was also extremely understanding and respectful of my home, especially since I had just moved in. It’s not always easy trusting someone new with your fur babies, but Maaliyah made the entire experience stress-free. I’m beyond grateful for her help and will absolutely be booking with her again! If you’re looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, attentive, and genuinely loves animals, Maaliyah is your girl! Thank you again for taking such wonderful care of Celine and Chloe! 🐾💕

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
