“Caring for our amazing herd of cats is no easy feat, but Elle really rose to the occasion! She is so great with them and took time to see everybody and report back on how they were each doing. I can't express how good it feels to have someone we can really trust to take care of our babies. Elle gave the best updates with lots of pics and made being away from home so much less stressful. You can tell that she genuinely enjoys being with the cats and is just a joy to work with. THANK YOU SO MUCH!”
“Monica did an outstanding job taking care of my senior dog and cat. Some special handling was necessary. Monica kept me updated twice a day with updates and lots of pictures. This was our first experience with Rover, and I couldn't be happier! Highly recommend! Thank you for taking such good care of them, Monica!”
“Sam was so fabulous with our shy girl! Sam was patient and our Mabel really seemed to warm up to her. Sam was detailed and we loved getting photos and videos. Highly recommend!”
“It was so nice to go on a trip and know that our cats would be well taken care of while we were gone! Gwen took great care of them and gave them the attention they needed (or would accept).”
About: I have grown up with and lived with pets (dogs and cats) my entire life. For over a decade I have volunteered and fostered animals through a local animal rescue. I have passed on my love for animals to my 15-year-old daughter, Piper. She started sitting for neighboring pets three years ago. Together we would love to meet you and your furry family and provide you with outstanding pet-sitting services. Pets are not just animals, they are family. And many times, we love them more than our human family and they should be treated as such. Thank you for your consideration of our services. I work from home full time and have a fenced in yard. Working from home allows me nearly constant access to care for your dog's every need during their stay with us. Also, my schedule flexibility is perfect for midday drop-in visits and walks as needed. Piper also has availability during evenings and weekends to provide extra snuggles and play time with your furry family members. Our backyard fence is a 4' aluminum fence with custom picket spacing of 2.25" which is perfect for accommodating smaller dogs and puppies. We also have a variety of crates available if your pup prefers their own safe space. We own two small dogs (Yorkie mix and a Maltese) that are very accustomed to strange dogs (fosters and occasional overnight guests) coming through our home. And Piper, who has her own neighborhood pet/house/child sitting service, is usually available to give your fur baby extra snuggles and attention as well.
“Jordan was amazing with my cats! She took great care of them and played with them as if they were her own. I would absolutely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive cat sitter.”
“Christy was amazing with my 2 cats, as usual. She was able to give oral meds and an inhaler with no issues. She is dependable and goes the extra mile when needed. Highly recommend!”
“Andy was great!! He and his partner did a great job looking after our dogs and staying in contact with us! Our dogs had a blast and they were even given a very kind thanksgiving treat from Andy! We will definitely reach out to him again in the future.”
About: I have 17 years experience in the veterinary service field. With working in clinic and having adopted countless senior and special needs kiddos, I am skilled at giving both oral and injectable medications on a regular basis. I am trained in fear free handling and believe in positive reinforcement training. If you are looking for a person with a passion for animals and the experience to back it up please reach out. I would absolutely love to be your pets new best friend! Right now I am in between jobs so my availability is very open. The only real work around will be the puppy I currently have. My care of your pets will be solely dependent on you and your family’s requests. Every family has different wants for what they are working on with their dog so I am highly flexible to help with that.
About: Hi! I have been taking care of dogs and cats my entire life. I have hands on, work experience at a dog hotel managing all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I have pet sat for family, friends, and neighbors throughout my life with no issues. Personally, in my family we have had terriers, labs, and Irish wolfhounds. I love each and every dog like they are my own and provide only the best of care. I am experienced in handling medications and other medical needs as well. I am work by 2pm every week day which leaves me with afternoons/evenings free! I am also able to work weekends as it fits my schedule. I am experienced in handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I will work with you to do everything I can to keep your pet happy and calm as I take care of them.
About: I’m observant, communicative and respectful. I notice changes within behavior and will send check in photos so you know your pet is in good hands. I’ve been taking care of pets for some time now. If not my own I take care of my families pets. My first time I ever got a pet and experienced real care is when I was 13, I made sure it was bathe, walked and ate. I’d always just talk to them too about random things but it was wholesome and let me not forget play with them with all the different toys I got for them. Needless to say I’ve been taking care of my dog for 3 years and I promise you when I say I pay close attention I do! I’d love your pets like my very own and take them to enjoy new experiences while also being safe. I’m not a rookie to this. I’m very experienced. Weekdays: Available after 3 PM Weekends: Available anytime before 9 PM I'm also happy to work with your schedule and can be flexible if you need something outside those windows. Your trust is the most important thing, and I treat your pet and your home with the same care & respect I'd want for my own.
“I just had Will stay with my dog for the first time and he did great! Mabel is pretty high energy and she was very happy and relaxed when I got home. I will definitely use Will again :)”
About: I have taken care of animals all my life, from cats to dogs. I have helped take care of my dogs at home by feeding them, bathing them, cleaning up after them, and administering their medicine. I am a graduate student here and hope to help out on weekends. My schedule can be busy, but I am willing to work around my schedule to best suit you and your pet! I would ensure that it is a safe environment, where dangers such as glass shattering or heavy objects are moved to safe places. I also want to ensure they feel comfortable, so taking the time for the animal to get to know me is important.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chapel Hill
Cassie was always on time and so patient with our nervous pups. I appreciate the extra attention she gave to each of our dogs. I love the pictures she sent, and her communication was top notch! I will definitely be keeping Cassie in mind the next time we need someone to watch our dogs.
Brittany was amazing with our new kitten!! I was nervous to leave her since we had just adopted her, but Brittany made us feel completely comfortable knowing she was in great hands. She was very communicative and sent us adorable pictures and updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind! We’re so grateful we found her on such short notice and would absolutely book with her again!
Robin was amazing with Misty! She was reliable, attentive, and made us feel completely comfortable while we were away. Most importantly, Misty was comfortable with her, which means a lot to us. We loved the updates and photos, and it was clear she was well cared for. We will absolutely book Robin again. Highly recommend! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

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.
