About: I have always loved dogs and believe that dogs are one of the greatest gifts on earth. My approach to pet care is paying close attention to the behaviors our pets tell us. I want to know everything about your dog; routines, personality, fears/stressors, ways to get them motivated (toys or food), and so much more! Knowing as much information to start helps me meet the dog where they are at and take care of them in a way that they might be more used to. Whatever energy level your dog might be, I'll match it! High energy and want to run around and play? A homebody sleepy senior dog? A puppy that wants to eat all the furniture legs? It doesn't matter the circumstances I am there and will help manage your dogs needs in the way you want me to. My husband and I adopted our wonderful Miss Coco. Miss Coco is an adult pup who loves meeting new pups, eating cucumbers, and cuddles! We absolutely are obsessed with Miss Coco, even if shes just sleeping. I am excited to meet your pup and getting to know them! I work a 9-5 so during the week days let me know what you need and we can discuss plans for care! I routinely work with my husband to take care of my pups needs and understand the full picture of how to make sure pups are well taken care of. I would be caring for your fur baby with care and patience. I am a firm believer in carefully paying attention to dogs body language and training and managing dogs with positive reinforcement.
“Cydney is absolutely awesome and incredibly reliable! She took such great care of our two cats for 3 days. Even our shy one became her best friend instantly! We came home to happy, well-fed kitties and a clean space. You can totally trust Cydney with your furry family – highly, highly recommend her!”
“Rachel watched our dogs while we were away for a wedding. We received regular updates and plenty of pictures She arrived on time for all of her drop ins and played with our dogs in the backyard. We have 3 active dogs and she handled them with no problem. Our dogs loved being with her. Highly recommend Rachel and will be our go to sitter when we are out of town.”
“Another fantastic sitting from Jolanda. She takes such great care of our Maisie and Nugget. It's such a relief to have someone you can completely trust to care for your babies when you need to leave town and want the best care for them. Thank you so much again Jolanda!”
“Faith is absolutely AMAZING!! I could not be more thrilled with the quality of care she has given to our pets. Our one cat has special needs and we haven’t been able to travel at all since he had been diagnosed because he is so scared of everyone but us, but he LOVES Faith and it brought me so much peace of mind to have her taking such good care of both of them while we were out of town. Faith truly went above and beyond with their care and left our house clean and the kitties happy. I would recommend her to anyone, I can’t believe our luck in finding her!!!”
“Lauren was great. She filled in last minute when the person we had booked over a month ago had a family emergency and wasn’t available for the whole booking. She sent photos and was great with our cats. Will definitely use her again.”
“Cecilia was amazing! She was super responsive, sent a ton of pics and was able to help me out last minute when my kennel shutdown. She left my place super clean and my dog seemed super happy when I got home.”
“Aqsa was wonderful. Dependable and conscientious with my two kitties. They can be a bit challenging but she excelled at winning them over. I was able to travel worry free which was so important to me. Aqsa, Thank you so much.”
“Lysandra has been phenomenal to work with. We will most definitely be booking her again. Her communication is superior!!! And she is so so sweet. Could not recommend more.”
“Rosemary was great with my boys, sat with them on every visit and sent me pictures of them while she was taking care of them. This was the second time that I have used Rover and both times I’ve been very pleased with the care of my animals.”
“Jess is professional and lovely to work with. She treated our fur babies to treats and love and even wiped their dirty paws when finished. Highly recommend Jess for you pet sitting needs!”
About: I’m dependable and genuinely care about making others feel comfortable and taken care of. My military experience has strengthened my sense of responsibility and discipline. I’m currently finishing my degree online, which gives me a flexible schedule that allows time for pet care. I’m able to plan my day around school since I have the flexibility of it being online. Making pets feel safe and comfortable is my priority. I follow normal routine and take on specific instructions from the owner. I also feel that asking questions is important and try to do so ahead of the owner’s time away.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 16+ years! 🐾 I grew up with both dogs and cats, lived with pets throughout college, and now have a cat of my own. I truly love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own fur baby! I’m reliable, attentive, and love getting to know each pet’s unique personality - whether that means a fun extra walk, lots of playtime, extra cuddles, or simply keeping them company. I’m happy to follow specific routines and instructions so you can feel completely comfortable while you’re away. 🐶🐱💗 Currently doing pet sitting full time. My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment, so I am available most days & times for drop-ins and/or walks! I prioritize safety, comfort, and keeping your pet’s normal routine. I’ll follow your instructions, keep pets secure during walks and visits, and treat your home with the same care and respect I would my own. 🐾💕
“Yaryna did a great job taking care of our 2 cats and 1 dog on short notice. She was prompt in her check-ins, did everything we asked of her, and gave us regular updates. Would definitely use her as our pet sitter again.”
“Andrei did an excellent job taking care of both of my dogs. I highly recommend him for any breed. I have a large mastiff, and he and Andre instantly bonded. Andrea is also very communicative and responsive when needed.”
“Kasey is the best! Every time we need her she is available and she is the most reliable and consistent person we’ve had watch our cats! She always goes above and beyond to make sure all of our cats needs are met. Thank you so much Kasey!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cary
Faith is always incredible with all of our pets (we have quite the crew with lots of personality and one cat with special needs and also normally scared of other people). All of our pets LOVE Faith and I always know they are in loving hands when we need to leave them behind. Our nervous cat who needs medication remembers her even after months and is so comfortable and outgoing with her, which just melts away all the scaries of leaving! I have booked Faith for taking care of our sweet pets several times over the last two years and have never considered having anyone other than Faith take care of our animals for us. We are so lucky and grateful to have met her and would highly highly highly recommend her to anyone needing care for their animal friends!
Rosemary is a fantastic pet sitter. She took incredible care of our cat and he loved every visit. She had excellent communication, gave us detailed updates on our cat, and went above and beyond to understand our and our cats needs, including feeding, supplement, toy, treat, litter and other needs. We would absolutely work with her again.
Kelly was fantastic! I appreciated that she asked me questions during our initial meeting so she was fully prepared to watch my two cats. This gave me a lot of peace of mind in leaving my babies alone. I will definitely ask her to watch them again, in the future.
Lindsay and Spencer were absolutely amazing! They were able to step in and help me on short notice, and I honestly couldn’t have asked for better sitters. They were reliable and punctual every single day, always kept me updated, and were incredibly responsive whenever we communicated. Most importantly, they were so patient, gentle, and loving with Oreo. You can really tell that they genuinely care about pets，and knowing Oreo was in such good hands gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. They are also just genuinely such nice, warm, and easygoing people. I enjoyed talking with them so much that I’d honestly love to be friends with them outside of Rover! I feel very lucky to have found them and would absolutely trust them with Oreo again. Highly, highly recommend Lindsay and Spencer! ❤️

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.

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.
