“Theresa was great at adapting to circumstances beyond our control. There was so much ice and snow outside that playing outside was not an option. She spent time playing inside with our high energy dog.”
“Megan was great with my cats. Updates every day along with pics. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a genuine caring person to look after their animals!!”
“This was just a trial and all went very well! Tina was even able to make friends with my one foster who likes NO one. We booked her for a weeks stay to care for our 4 seniors while we’re away.”
“Thank you Courtney for helping us out last minute so we could enjoy some family time at great wolf lodge. I’m sure Beau loved the belly rubs, walks and treats. You were so trustworthy and kind. We’ll definitely be reaching out for our future dog visit/walking & cat sitting needs. Thank you again!”
“Cassandra took excellent care of our 17 month old yellow lab 3 times a day for almost two weeks. We received updates and photos after each visit, which we really appreciated. Emily looks great and was very happy to see us when we came home, but we think that she will miss Cassandra’s visits.”
“Glenna confirmed the booking on short notice and kept me posted every step of the way on her visit. Slugger has a lot of energy but she knows how to navigate it and keep him on track while on his walks. I know he’s always in good hands when Glenna comes to check him.”
“What an amazing gem! Lila was just what we needed! She is always early, ambitious and communication was impeccable! My home was happy when I returned all the fur babies seemed happy and relaxed! My pups told me she’s the one and they want her back in October!”
“Dog whisperer. Very upbeat, energetic. Provided details on visits and seems to love her job. Was always on time and stayed for the entire durations. Everything you’d want in a sitter for your pet. This was our first time using the service. We will definitely select her next time we need sitter services.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, so caring for them has always been a natural part of who I am. I genuinely love being outside, exploring new areas, and having a furry companion along for the adventure. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, and I’m happy to meet each pup where they’re at, whether they’re energetic and ready to explore or prefer a slower, more relaxed walk. I’ll treat your dog with the same care and attention I’d want for my own. I’m available Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays before 4 PM. I’m happy to spend time hanging out with your pup, giving them plenty of attention, or taking them on a long walk and exploring together. I’m currently working part-time while in nursing school, so these days work best with my schedule! I treat every pet like they’re my own! I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and individual needs so they feel comfortable and cared for. Whether I’m in your home or taking your pup out for a walk, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. I’m also happy to follow any specific instructions you have, from feeding routines to favorite walking spots and everything in between.
About: I was born and raised in Chester County on a horse farm, where caring for animals was part of everyday life. With over 15 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for a wide variety of animals, including horses, goats, sheep, dogs, and cats. I’ve bottle-fed kittens and baby goats, administered medications, cared for senior pets, and looked after animals with special needs. Over the years, I’ve provided pet care for friends, neighbors, and clients throughout the community, many of whom have trusted me with their pets for multiple years. I understand that every animal has unique needs, routines, and personalities, and I take pride in providing dependable, compassionate care that helps both pets and owners feel at ease. I’m currently a college student taking online classes, so I spend most of my time at home. My flexible schedule means I can give your pets plenty of attention throughout the day! I’m available for walks and drop-ins most weekdays and weekends, open for boarding or extended stays. For boarding, I currently accept cats only and provide them with a quiet, comfortable space where they can feel safe and relaxed. For house sitting and drop-in visits, I welcome pets of all sizes and breeds. I always follow your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, care, and love while you’re away.
“This was our first time using Maria for a drop in and she was fantastic! She has great communication, followed instructions perfectly and my dogs seemed to love her! We will definitely rebook with her!”
About: I've been a passionate animal caretaker most of my life. At a young age I began pet sitting for family, friends and neighbors. I raised several litters of bunnies, was the whelping helper for my Scottish Terrier twice, and rescued an African Grey Parrot 27 years ago. He is happily living with my Shih Tzu and Great Pyrenees. My husband and I have two adult college students, so our pets are extra spoiled these days! I'm currently an Elementary School Teacher, so I am available after 3pm during the weekdays. I am available and flexible on the weekends and during the summer. I would like to know your rules and procedures that are expected in your home, so I can provide that same care to keep your pets happy and safe.
“At first we were apprehensive about choosing a new individual to care for our pets. Our first interaction with Brady was that he was a typical uninterested young man who would be ok, but be nothing special. We couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised and wrong in our initial assessment. Our assumption that he was disinterested was really him easily and fully understanding our needs the first time we explained them. He only asked intentional and poinient questions to get exactly the information he needed to provide an exceptional service; he didn't need additional clarification which made us think, wrongly, he was not fully engaged. Don't let his approach and directness fool you; he is fully committed to the job at hand and able to accommodate your and your pets' needs. Brady was excellent with our dog and cat while we were away. He took extra time to play with them daily even though it wasn't required. He was also easily willing to check on the house, find a missing mail package, and ensure the dog (who has storm anxiety) was her usual self after a major storm. He was very responsive to texts through the app even at odd times of day. We appreciate his willingness to be flexible with our delayed and changing flights and his anticipation of our needs. We will definitely use his services again and recommend him to others.”
About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.
About: Currently in training with my own dog for her to become a certified therapy dog. I will care for your dog like a family member I am flexible Monday through Friday though mid morning to late afternoon will work best to give your dog the attention it deserves for proper exercise, play time and providing good company for your pup. In our home, we have always treated our dogs like the family they are, providing a safe, calm and healthy environment with lots of love. I will provide this same level of care & love with the dogs I visit as we get to know each other.
About: I am a dedicated and experienced animal care provider with a strong background in both personal pet ownership and professional veterinary support. Having cared for my own animals over the years, I understand the importance of patience, attention, and compassion when it comes to their well-being. In addition, my experience working in a veterinary hospital has given me valuable hands-on knowledge in animal health, behavior, and safety. This combination allows me to provide reliable, attentive, and informed care, ensuring that every pet I watch is treated with the same level of love and responsibility as my own. I’m not just an animal lover, but I also love and adore kids which is where I spend my days working in a therapy clinic for kids Monday through Friday from 8-4. I’m available before 8 on weekdays and after 4 on weekdays. On Saturdays and Sundays I’m available anytime of the day. I am committed to maintaining a safe, secure, and trustworthy environment for every animal in my care. I prioritize following each pet’s routine, dietary needs, and any medical instructions to ensure their health and comfort at all times. My experience in a veterinary setting has equipped me to recognize signs of stress or illness early and respond appropriately. I maintain a clean, hazard-free space, use secure handling practices, and provide constant supervision to prevent accidents. Open communication with pet owners is also a top priority, offering regular updates for peace of mind. My goal is to create a calm, reliable, and nurturing environment where pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for.

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.
