“Jess is fantastic. She has such a true passion for animals. For those with a timid cat, Jess will work so hard to gain the trust of your kitty and is truly thrilled when she has a breakthrough. She has been our pet/house sitter for a couple of years and she has simply made our travels stress free.”
“Linda is absolutely fantastic. She took amazing care of my older cat Marina, and was so kind and patient with her even when Marina was standoffish in the beginning. Linda sent pictures every day and kept me up-to-date on Marina’s mood and health, and she was incredibly respectful of our home. Cannot recommend Linda enough, she is the best of the best!!!”
About: I have been pet sitting/dog walking for many years. My youngest has just graduated high school so I have a very free schedule. I have owned dogs and cats most of my life. I currently have an Irish Wolfhound and a small Pit Bull. I have spent many hours volunteering at the Humane Society and fostering. I am a stay at home mom in Cave Creek. My youngest has just graduated from high school so my schedule is quite free. I am available for drops in’s, walks/hikes, and overnights. I own an Irish Wolfhound and a pitbull mix. I am very active and run daily with my dogs. I am able to take dogs on long walks or hikes. I am comfortable with any size breed. I am respectful of any pet rules/schedules and follow accordingly.
“Annette did a wonderful job sitting our cat, Jinxy. She showed up as contracted and kept him happy while we were away. I would definitely hire her again!”
“Brenda did an amazing job with our Sr dog, Suki. She is very kind and Suki loved her right away! We got pictures every visit, which was great. Brenda was even flexible and added a visit for us. We would highly recommend Brenda!”
“First time using Rover Katelyn who took care of my cat Sherbet sent pictures/videos, she was there every day to feed and even play with him. I was so relieved to know he was being taken such good care of! On Christmas, she even brought him some catnip and toys!! Katelyn went above and beyond our expectations, will for sure use again we highly recommend! Thank you !”
“Jordan was fantastic and took such great care of our dogs. Her updates and communication were great and all care instructions were followed for our two dogs (including our older dog with health issues). I’d recommend her any time!”
“Krista was wonderful with our two tabby’s. They both are usually shy around new people, however her loving energy won them both over immediately. I highly recommend Krista, she went above and beyond caring for our cats.”
“I searched for the right dog sitter for my English Bulldog Gigi and my little rescue mix Petey. I found Nicholas and was not disappointed! He has a calm, confident demeanor that works well with being a caretaker of dogs. In my instance it helped that he has English Bulldogs himself so he knows that they can be nippy, protective and scrappy. He demonstrated a keen sense of how to interact with Gigi and each visit he made progress with her. His detailed recaps of his visits gave me a great peace of mind while I was away. He is thorough, caring, responsive and trustworthy. He takes care of my dogs as if they were his own. I truly appreciate his ability to take care of my two and am looking forward to continued use of his services. I highly recommend Nicholas to take of your pets!”

“Dallas and I had a great experience with Bianca! When I first reached out she was very easy to communicate with. She did a meet and greet first and Dallas was immediately comfortable with her. She did drop-in visits with him and sent a detailed report and lots of pictures each time. Definitely would book again!”
“Lyla is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She went above and beyond to take very good care of my cat Alexia for 30 days. My cat is 18 years old, she previously had two seizures about seven months ago, and she had another episode while we were out of town. Lyla, acted very professional and cared really for Alexia. She called me to inform me, she called the Vet clinic, and the emergency pet hospital. She stayed longer with Alexia to make sure she was feeling better after the episode, and she helped her recover and calm down. Lyla, treated my cat and my house with a great respect, Alexia looked cleaned and happy and the house was tidy and clean. I will hire Lyla again and again, she is very nice, professional and reliable. She could literally handle any issues and she is willing to do anything to make your babies happy. Thank you very much Lyla for being such a great person.”

“Addyson took care of our 2 chihuahuas while we were away. She did a great job of making sure they had everything they needed. She kept us updated every visit and was always quick to respond. When we got home we had two adorable drawings of each dog and detailed puppy report cards. Thank you Addyson for all the help and love given to our little ones!”
“Ashley & Benjamin were incredible care takers while I was on vacation!! I’m new to Rover and it was very reassuring to know that Kota was being cared for. Ashley was super easy to communicate with and she consistently provided updates, with photos and videos which was great to see! We couldn’t more thankful for the care provided. Thank you!!”
About: Hi! I’m Kristy, a reliable and caring dog lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. I’m looking to care for some wonderful pups in my local area during the evenings. My availability is primarily in the evenings, and I’m especially happy to help with evening walks and drop-in visits. My schedule varies every other week, so I keep my Rover calendar updated with the specific evenings I’m available. I’m flexible when I have availability and will always make sure I can give your pup the time and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m dependable, attentive, and will follow your care instructions closely. I’ll make sure your pup is safe, comfortable, and getting plenty of attention during every visit. I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. 🐾

About: I’ve been around dogs all my life! I love to be active and give lots of love to all animals. I have experience in dog sitting (at their house), daycare for dogs and boarding dogs in my home. I ensure your dogs safety, comfortably, and access to food, water, and occasional treats (unless directed otherwise). I have a senior (shnoodle) dog, and have had him since he was a puppy and I was 10 years old. He’s my emotional support animal and has moved across country with me a few times! He’s my boy. At the moment, my full-time job is spending time with my dog! I have plenty of time to care for, play with or check in on your dog or animals! I know how hard it is to trust someone with your dog. I want to provide a safe place where you can feel comfortable leaving your pet. We have a fenced yard, with a pool (for those water dogs!) There will be access to food and water at all times, unless directed otherwise. I walk everyday, and will go on walks with my dog or yours, as long as the weather permits! I will keep you in the loop while your pet is in my care, sending occasional updates and potentially lots of photos!

I am a full time virtual student so I am very flexible with making time for all your furry friends! I can stop by any time to check in on and help your little friend!

Krista always does a fantastic job taking care of our cat while we are away. She also goes above and beyond when we need special help (while we were way on our last trip, she actually dropped something off for us). She is very pleasant to work with, responsible, responsive, and dependable! We could not ask for a better person to provide care in our absence!

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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
