“Kayla was amazing. Took care of my little friend while I was away with great communication and very professional. Took all the stress away of missing him!! Thank you so much and hope to work with her again soon :)”
“This was our third time using Bailey for our very skittish rescue cat when we have to be gone more than overnight. She has always been punctual, polite, and communicative which I appreciate. He hides when she (or anyone) comes over, but Bailey always takes the time to physically find him at every visit to make sure he's okay. This time was no different. Gulliver was well cared for and we came home to an organized water and food station and clean litter box area.”
“Kenzie did a great job providing in-home care for our 1 year old German Shepherd while we were away for the day. I would recommend her to anyone seeking the same service.”
“She was phenomenal! Lady looked like she was enjoying herself and had some good exercise around the block. She took the time and care to pet and love on lady while looking after her. The walks were about 20 minutes and perfect for my dog. She followed everything to a T. Would love to have her again!”
“Faith has quickly become one of our dogs’ best friends. She is reliable and responsible, which is very important to us. She is so friendly and makes the walks engaging and fun for our dogs who are really not that easy to walk. We are very grateful for her help.”
“Kenzie was incredible with our dog Kash! We got great updates every visit and she went above and beyond to make sure he was eating his food (which he typically doesn't do when we are out of town). Thankful she was able to watch our pup and would recommend her to anyone!!”
“Irelane was a prompt communicator and even dropped by for a meet and greet before the requested dates which was greatly appreciated. She took care of all of our cat's needs and we came home to a very happy cat. Thank you!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and absolutely love spending time with them. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals that need a little extra love. I regularly foster animals and believe in adopting rather than shopping. I love teaching my dogs new tricks and keeping them happy, active, and entertained. I’m very caring, patient, and attentive, and I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone, so I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, love, playtime, and care while they’re with me. My schedule is pretty flexible, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits, and I can give your pets plenty of attention while you’re away. I’ll make sure they’re fed, have fresh water, get some playtime and attention, and are comfortable before I leave. I don’t offer care in my own home because I have two dogs and a cat, and bringing unfamiliar animals into their space wouldn’t be the best or safest situation for everyone. Instead, I’m happy to care for your pets in their own home, where they’re comfortable and familiar with their surroundings. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep everything secure, and make sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away.
“Ellie was fantastic with my kitty. All visits were done timely and well. She’s a great caregiver and my kitty liked her. She sent photos and videos each visit. I’ll re-book Ellie again.”
“I had a last minute request and Megan rose to the occasion beautifully. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my fur children were being looked after. I really appreciated the photos of my cats that she sent. I will definitely use her again all schedules permitting.”
About: Hi, I’m Jordan. I’m a true animal lover at heart and I’ve owned pets my entire life! In the past 5 years I’ve started caring for other animals in addition to my own. I have cared for all different breeds and sizes. It’s important to me that your fur babies feel safe, loved, and part of our family while in our care. At our house we allow your friends on our furniture and we allow them to sleep with us in our bed. We always include all furry friends in our plans- if we are taking our dogs on a walk, we will ask permission to also bring your pet. If we are taking our dogs on a drive, we will ask for permission for your pet to come with us. If our dogs are getting treats, we will ask permission to also give your friend treats. Etc. We will always do our best to accommodate any of your pets needs. We love walkies, giving treats, cuddles, pup cups, and head pats! We own a home in Newburgh that has a fenced in back yard that we use for lots of supervised playtime! I live with my husband Collin and our two Mini Australian Shepherd’s Atlas and Charli. We truly enjoy the time we are given with your animals! The animals we care for will receive our attention and our love while with us. I have tons of time for your animals! I am a kindergarten teacher’s assistant who has many days off throughout the year including: summer break, spring break, fall break, Christmas break, weekends, and many days off during the year! I also have an extremely flexible schedule for potty breaks, eating schedules, walk times, or possible medical needs. A normal work day in my life would be from 7am-4pm. I am a truly detail oriented person which comes in handy while caring for the safety and happiness of your pet(s) which is always my number one priority! I have a fenced in yard and I have two extremely friendly pups to keep your furry friends company. We allow our animals on all furniture including the bed, which will be no different for your animals. We want your animals to feel as at home as possible. We keep our home environment very clean as well as making sure it is safe. I value communication! I love taking pictures to help pet parents feel more at ease. We can accommodate your animals by sticking to a routine schedule.
“Brooklynn was great! She took care of my Holly girl, gave her lovings, fed her and gave her water, gave her treats, and took her out to potty. Also sent pictures of my girl while I was gone. Everything that I asked for. I’m impressed and will use her the next time.”
About: With over 2 years of hands-on experience at a doggie daycare, boarding, and grooming facility, I've developed a deep understanding of dogs' needs at every stage of life. Growing up with pets and working with them professionally has made me a reliable, patient, and compassionate caregiver. Whether it's a walk, drop-in visit, or overnight stay, I tailor my care to each dog’s unique personality and requirements. Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine, as I mostly work during the week from 7 AM to 12 PM, leaving me plenty of time to make drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays before or after my work hours. I’m flexible and can adjust to accommodate early morning or evening visits for your pets. On weekends, I typically work a short window from 8 AM to 9 AM and then from 4 PM to 5 PM, which still allows me to provide pet care during the rest of the day. My schedule gives me the ability to give your pets the attention they deserve, whether it's during weekdays or weekends. In my home, I’m happy to care for smaller dogs (under 25 lbs) as I have two friendly dogs of my own that get along well with others. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I take my dogs and any guests out on a leash for walks and bathroom breaks with ease, ensuring they’re safe and secure at all times. In your home, I treat your pets like my own—providing them with attention, playtime, and regular walks, and making sure they’re comfortable and happy. Whether it’s a drop-in visit, walk, or overnight stay, safety, trust, and a calm environment are my top priorities!
About: I bathe the dogs, water/feed, play/go on walk or running, take them outside to use the bathroom after they get done eating there supper. If they need medicine before or after eating there meal, I can do that because I had to do it with my German Shepherd once. Animals give me pride, joy, and make me feel special inside and stress is gone. Animals should be treated like a family member in your home. Someone will always be home that you meet during the meet n greet to ensure your animals are taken care of. It fits my schedule Tuesday through Friday I work 7:30am to 2pm sometimes done before that. Daughters are at school during the day. I will make sure that fences are shut, doors are shut as well as making sure theres no holes in the fences for them to squeeze through.
About: I’ve had dogs, guinea pigs, cats, turtles etc, you name it and I’ve probably taken care of it! Dogs are my passion however, I love cuddles and playing with them! I’m free any day , anytime! As long as it is a day in advance I’m perfectly fine with anything! Whatever you are wanting done , I can do! I have 10+ years of any animal handling. I feel comfortable doing anything you need! From small dogs to big dogs I feel very confident and working with them
About: I have had a dog ever since I was a little girl! I have had a lab, yorkie, mini golden doodle and a maltese. I have helped family members/ friends take care of their animals when they need it! Taking care of dogs is my favorite thing to do. I love being able to play with them and spend time with them! I am currently a nurse at deaconess gateway and I work 3 12 hour shifts. So the rest of the week I am off and have plenty of free time! When I am not at work, I am at home playing with my corgi. Me and my fiancee are also homebodies and love to stay home on the weekends! I have a spacious apartment that has a dog park right next door that we can go play at! I can do feedings, play time, and walks for your pet!
About: I have watched all kinds of breeds of dogs for about 7 years now for friends and family when they go out of town or on vacation. I currently work 7:30 to 4 during the week and work from home, I am available after work during the week, and on nights and weekends. I prefer to watch dogs at their owners houses rather than mine because it is easier on the animals to be in their own environment.
About: I am quite comfortable with all sizes of dogs, from small to big. I have a special love for the big guys! I would be comfortable with giving ear or eye medication, but would want to make sure your pet feels safe enough with me to give oral medication. I love to go for walks, and would be thrilled to have your loved one join me! I am a full time nursing student and would love to fit your pet into my schedule! I would be able to stop in to check on your loved one or take them on a walk primarily on the weekends. If you need care during the week, it would be late afternoon/evening when I can be with them. If you need a early morning check in, let me know! I'd be happy to try and work something out with you. Comfortability for you and your pet are my main priority. I would love to meet and learn more about them prior to our first service! This is to ease not only your pet but also make sure I am a good fit for you both. I am happy to hang out at your home and play with their favorite toys and give them their favorite treats.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Center
Bethany is wonderful the dogs love her and she takes great care of them. We recently had two flight delays and at a moments notice she stepped right in and took care of the dogs until we were able to get home. We were two days late and Bethany was our savior she stepped right up. We recommend her to everyone.

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.
