“Cassondra did such a great job helping with our dogs when we had a long day away from home! She did great with all their quirky personalities and spent time playing with them outside! 10/10 would use her for our dogs again.”
“Maria was so sweet to our cat, Luna. Luna will miss her till they meet again. She took very good care of Luna, fed, petted, combed, cleaned the litter box and played with Luna. I got a detailed report cards every day. She watered my plants too to keep them alive. I am immensely satisfied and grateful for her help while we were gone for the vacation.”
About: We love dogs! Added to our family over the years are dogs, birds, rats, guinea pigs and even chickens. Currently we have two fur babies that are calm and have many dog friends that come to visit. My husband, myself and our children play and walk our dogs everyday. We have watched family members dogs/chickens for years and welcome the opportunity to help other pets too. Our yard is large and fenced in (four foot fence). Your pet will be loved well! Our work schedule has our pets home kenneled for five hours daily. We come home and let them out during that time frame. During the summer we are home all day. I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can crate your dog if needed. I am comfortable with medications and schedules that are important to you. I look forward to meeting your family members!
“Mikayla was so great with our cats, even when they got into trouble and made a mess. She sent us great photos and I'm confident that our cats were well cared for while we were gone!”
About: I have two fur babies of my own, and know the importance of not only loving them like family, but keeping them healthy like family as well. My own dogs have very specific feeding and health routines, and you can rest assured that any specifications you have will be followed the entire time you are away from your pups. I will make sure any food, treat, and exercise guidelines are followed completely. I am a very dedicated person, and give my all to anything I am involved in. You can bet that I will love your pups like they are my own while I am with them, and probably after too! I would love some more dog families in my life. I work from home Thursdays and Fridays, so alone time is limited. I do have a 4 year old and 1 year old, so comfort around children is preferred. My kids are very good with dogs and giving them space and using soft touches. If you are boarding with me, kenneling is required to keep safe during unsupervised times. Please let me help take care of your babies! I work from home on Thursdays and Fridays, so alone time is limited. Outside potty breaks are frequent, and walks are able to be taken daily. I have a fenced in yard and two dogs of my own. Kenneling is required when boarding with me to keep my own dogs and your dog safe during unsupervised times. I have a 4 year old and 1 year old, who are good with dogs and respecting their space.
“We have been taking our large doodle to Amber since we moved to South Dakota from out of town. Our pup always comes home exhausted, a certain sign at a good time! We love Amber and her family, they treat our dog like he’s theirs. Thank you so much Amber! See you next time!”
“Miss Madison is amazing! She took such great care of both my babies. She boarded my senior dog and did drop in visits on my cat. Madison also has a senior dog so it was nice for him to have a companion he could keep up with! She sent lots of pictures and updates during my trip that gave me the warm and fuzzies that my animals were in great care. I plan to book with her again soon! Thank you again Miss Madison!”

“Had a great experience with Madison, she did 3x daily drop in visits for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She was a clear communicator, easy to get ahold of, and sent pics every visit showing the pets playing and getting treats. She also collected our mail and put it on the table. Would recommend!”
“Chressie did a wonderful job checking in on our pups on Saturday and Sunday when we were gone for most of the day. Even though it was a last-minute request she was very flexible & gave several options for a meet & greet. She did great with all our quirky dogs. She sent updates & pictures & was professional & prompt! She even brought our packages inside!”
“I booked Melisa to take care of my dog on a last minute need, she did a great job! She communicated well, took pics, and did everything I asked. This is my first time using Rover and I would absolutely book her again !”

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 .
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.
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 .
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.
