“Anna was great! The animals instantly knew she was a friend. She was prompt, kind, and communicative. Would highly recommend and we will be rebooking her in the future. A++”
“April provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. She was very timely and attentive to the needs of my dog. April always communicated with photos and a visit summary which gave me such peace of mind knowing she was in good hands and happy. Thank you April for your exceptional service!”
“Kim is a wonderful pet sitter! She is reliable and genuinely cares about our senior dogs. I love getting the daily pictures and visit reports from her. When we travel without our fur babies we know they are excellent care with Kim.”
“Highly recommend Sophia! She took the time to note down Kizzy's routine and feeding schedule, and kept me updated with photos and messages throughout every visit. It was clear she genuinely cared about Kizzy's wellbeing, and she was always ready to help with anything extra that came up. Will definitely book again!”
“Very accommodating and took amazing care of my cat. For a cat with separation anxiety and will pee on things when left alone too long as well as scream at you when you come back home, she was pretty calm and very happy upon my arrival. Thank you so much Isabel!”
“Shannon you are so good with our dogs. We had our daughter’s wedding to go to out of the country and I didn’t worry about the dogs one bit! Thank you for everything!!”
“Lauren was super sweet, attentive and punctual! She left great notes and always snapped a pic of our guy to share. We never had to worry about our boy while out of country which was priceless for us. We will absolutely be using her again in the future! 🙂 thanks Lauren!”
“Have booked with Carole for multiple trips now, and she is great! She even suggested timing her drop-ins to better line up with the time zone we were in while away. Highly recommend!”
“Luna loves Sophia. I can tell thru the pics that Luna is well taken care. I see them playing together, sitting in the sun. This is our second time with Sophia and no doubt it will not be our last. I don’t worry about Luna when I’m gone. I get great notes telling me all of what’s going on. We will definitely call her again next time!!!”
“Jessica was amazing to work with. We had a last minute get away and we were nervous about what the dogs would do while we weee gone. Jessica was kind enough to come meet the dogs with us home before we left. Within seconds it was easy to see how she loves animals and our dogs were at complete ease with her. We also had no concerns letting her into our home to play with the dogs while we were away. She had a very flexible schedule and was on time and punctual morning, afternoon or at night. She will be our go to dog helper and she should be yours too.”
“So glad we found Katie! From the start, she was communicative and attentive. The care and attention she gave our pets was outstanding — we felt completely at ease knowing our fur babies were in great hands. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, and that says it all. Couldn’t be happier and will absolutely be booking again!”
“Took excellent care of our 2 cats while on our first vacation together. Took lots of pictures which was great and played with them. Was very responsive and thoughtful. 10/10 will try to book again for next vacation.”
“Shiru has watched my cat (who is very shy, and a little spicy) several times now and has been excellent every time! This past time, a leak appeared in my home and maintenance had to drop by unexpectedly while I was out of town. Shiru was so helpful in coming over to make sure my cat was safe and separated from the maintenance crew who were cutting open my walls. Thank you Shiru!!”
“Was willing to meet Cléo before booking which I really appreciate! Frequent and consistent updates at the requested times with plenty of photos for my mind and heart's ease. Thank you Jackson! 🥰🐱🐾🧶”
“Sarah was flexible and very accommodating for my pups. She communicated if she was running late and took cute pictures reassuring me that everything was okay with my babies. I will definitely rebook with her if our schedules align.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Carter
As always, Emma did a great job with Winifred and Vee. Great communication, punctual arrival, awesome check in, and picked up after them as well. It means a lot, especially with Vee, as she is a special rescue who is still learning and looked so happy. Thanks so much and highly recommended, even on short notice.
Luna loves Sophia. I can tell thru the pics that Luna is well taken care. I see them playing together, sitting in the sun. This is our second time with Sophia and no doubt it will not be our last. I don’t worry about Luna when I’m gone. I get great notes telling me all of what’s going on. We will definitely call her again next time!!!
We had such a great experience with Isabel watching our cats while we were away! She completed 19 visits for us and was incredibly reliable and thorough every single day. She took care of their wet food, cleaned up their dishes, handled the litter, and gave Chloe her medication and nose drops. She also made sure to spend time with them, play with them, and give them attention, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were gone. One of my favorite things was how detailed her daily updates were. She always left a really thorough recount of what she did during each visit and how the cats were doing, so we never had to wonder what was going on at home. She also takes such great pictures! We looked forward to seeing the photos she sent every day. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our cats and took the responsibility seriously. Being away from them for that long can be stressful, but knowing they were being so well cared for made our trip much easier. We would absolutely book with Isabel again and highly recommend her!
Libby the Cat takes time to warm up to people, but Kim won her over with patience and persistence. She found a way to give Libby her medicine and get her to like it. Her photos of Libby show the relationship warming visit by visit. I will definitely ask Kim to take care of Libby the next time I go out of town.
Ana was super sweet to my cat. She sent so many pictures and videos while we were away and he seems to have loved her. She was super communicative and let me know about his eating and using the litter box all week which was super nice and put us more at ease. Overall, she did a great job and I would definitely book with her again.
Tori was wonderful with my dog! I booked drop in visits and couldn’t schedule a meet and greet beforehand, so I gave her a heads up that my Shorkie would be very anxious with a stranger coming in. Her first update put me completely at ease. She said he was too nervous to even take treats at first, but she was patient with him, and once she mentioned going for a walk he warmed up. After the walk she tried playing with his toys, but he just wanted belly rubs from her, so she gave him lots of belly rubs and he gave her lots of kisses. By her second visit, he was excited to see her! I booked her for 4 drop in visits in one week and it was excellent for my dog and my peace of mind Communication was excellent — detailed updates, quick responses. She was accommodating to everything my dog needed and so easy to work with. She went above and beyond, and I’d absolutely book her again. Highly recommend!
Jessica did a wonderful job during our second booking with her. Her communication was excellent, and she paid great attention to detail throughout our trip. We truly appreciated knowing that our cats were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while we were on vacation. It gave us peace of mind to be away knowing they were in such good hands. We would gladly book with Jessica again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
We absolutely loved Phoebe and will be booking again in the future! Phoebe was communicative, sweet, and clearly takes her role as pet sitter seriously with the attention given to our 2 cats. She followed all directions given and went above and beyond with things we didn't even know to ask for, like cleaning the water fountain and food bowls regularly. Knowing my cats were well-cared for put me at ease. 10/10 would recommend and will be telling all my friends and family about Phoebe 🙂

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
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.
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.
