“Can not say enough positive things about Hillari! My dogs absolutely love her and are so well taken care of. She walks them and has checked on them for house visits. Super communicative, kind and responsive. One of our dogs is a little more particular and she is really great with him as well. We look forward to continuing to book with her 😊 Highly recommend!!!”
“Zanna loved her time with Mckenzie. I highly recommend her. Great response time and communication. I especially appreciate her availability and flexibility when I was in a pinch with having to schedule pet care last minute!”
“Payton did a wonderful job with the drop in visit for our kitty! He isn't usually fond of strangers but took right to Payton, which shows how much of an animal lover she is! She followed our directions perfectly and we would 100% book her again!”
About: Hi, I grew up on a farm with many dogs and cats. When I was younger it was commonplace that any dog that needed a home in our town my family would take in and care for. I have since moved out and have 2 cats but no dogs because of my living situation. I’m in school for psychology, headed to WVU college of Law next year. I love dogs and cats and would love to help out a fellow animal lover! I am empathetic, caring, responsible, and great at time management. I am doing this to make money to put towards Law School. My weekends are normally spent in my hometown visiting family as I have quite a few elderly relatives still living there. On Mondays and Wednesdays I have class from 3:30-4:15pm. Tuesday and Thursdays from 9:30-11:15am. Other than those times, I am available during the week for a pop in or a walk or just some quality time/a new face! I don’t intend to bring any of the animals to my home unless it would be just a walk by outside. Because as I’ve mentioned, I have 2 cats and wouldn’t want to risk anything by exposure of anything to them or your baby even though mine are fully vaxed.
“This was our first time using Rover. Savannah was very prompt, communicative and did a great job with our two cats. We got lots of photos & daily updates. I highly recommend Savannah & will definitely hire her again!”
“Juliana is great with my two dogs! She is communicative, punctual and easy to work with. She gives my dogs enough potty time and is winning over my anxious dog when she checks in on her and gives her treats. So happy to have her drop in throughout the week when I am at work!”
About: I have always had a love for dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities. I have two rescue dogs of my own, so I understand the importance of making your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have previously worked as a dog sitter for family, friends, and people in my neighborhood. I’m responsible, patient, and attentive, and I enjoy spending time playing with dogs, taking them on walks, and making sure they get the care and attention they need. I will treat your dog like they are my own!! I’m a college student and currently don’t have a job so I have a flexible schedule. I’m generally available Monday Wednesday and Fridays before 11AM and after 130PM. Tuesday Thursdays I am available before 930AM and after 1PM. I am apart of a sorority, so I occasionally have events at different times throughout the week, but I’m very flexible and happy to communicate ahead of time to work around my schedule and your pets needs! I currently live in an apartment, so unfortunately I’m unable to bring dogs into my home. I’m very comfortable caring for dogs in their own home and am used to working with dogs both on lease and in a fenced in yard. I will always prioritize your pets safety and follow your instructions for walks, outdoor time, feeding, and routines. I’m happy to maintain your dogs normal routine and provide plenty of attention and care!
“Skylar was excellent. She spent extra time with our Ki when he wasn’t feeling well and offered to take him wherever we needed him to go for medical care. Ki is an elderly pup and knowing that Skyler was visiting and caring for him helped us enjoy our family trip. We highly recommend Skylar, and we are beyond grateful for her caring personality.”
“Taylor was amazing! She provided great updates and pictures! I felt at peace knowing our babies were in good hands with her care. I will definitely be using her again in the future. 😊”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I have grown up with both cats and dogs. Neighbors and friends have trusted me to take care of their dogs for many years. I am willing to spend extra time with your furry friends as needed, along with sending updates and pictures. I am reliable and responsible. I am currently in graduate school and working, I have full days from 8am-8pm on Monday and Tuesdays, I am available Wednesdays before 9 am and after 12 pm. I am available Thursdays and Fridays before 8:30, from 12-1pm, and after 3:30 pm. My weekend schedule is flexible and am able to take care of your animals on both the weekdays and weekends. I am able and willing to stay at your home with your animal. I currently live in a small apartment with two cats and would be unable to house dogs. I am able to give medication/put on a harness/crate dogs as needed. I am super flexible and adaptable :-).
“Sidonie did a wonderful job with my cat Pepper! She communicated really well, played with and petted Pepper lots daily, and was thorough and organized. I would definitely book her again.”
“We booked xinyi last minute- she took the effort and time to come meet Maxwell the night before anyway and made both of our pets so comfortable right off the bat. We will definitely book again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and truly love caring for them. I currently have one cat but I’ve had pets of all kinds over the years. Whether it’s feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I understand the importance of giving pets the attention and care they deserve. You can count on me to treat your pets like my own! I have a full time job that is done at 3:00 PM. I will be able to complete tasks starting at 3:30 PM. On weekends I have full availability. Safety is always my top priority when caring for pets. I make sure each animal is in a secure, pet-friendly environment and take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs. I’m careful with feeding schedules, medication (if needed), and always keep an eye out for any signs of stress or discomfort. I’m also mindful of indoor/outdoor safety, keeping doors closed, leashes secure, and making sure they’re never left unattended in unsafe situations. Your pet’s well-being and comfort are always my main focus.
“Amber did a great job checking in on our cats and bunny while we were away for vacation. She made the effort to do a meet and greet beforehand, and followed all of our care instructions during her drop ins. We would recommend her to anyone who needs local pet care, and we will definitely check her availability the next time we need someone to care for our animals!”
“Arabella was great! She was conveniently close to where I lived and was amazing with my pup Leo. She also was helpful and willing to clean his crate out when he had accidents. I know that’s expected/part of the job but still can not be fun obviously.”
About: I have grown up taking care of many different breeds and ages over the past 19 years from puppies to seniors up to 16. I'm experienced with house training, obedience training, and medication administration (including insulin shots for diabetic dogs). I've had the privilege of pet sitting for many friends, family and neighbors, which has included potty breaks, baths, walks, feeding, and some grooming. All pets I look after always receive lots of attention and lots of lovins, as I treat other's pets I am looking after like they're my own. :) I am in between jobs at the moment, so I have a lot of free time on my hands that I would love to spend taking care of fur babies! -If boarded at my home, I live in a townhouse that is pet friendly and includes surrounding yard areas. I share it with my adopted 6 year old fur baby, Ellie, that is a red lab mix. She is caught up on all vaccines, neutered and sees the vet regularly. Ellie is an absolute sweetheart to all dogs and people she is around. If you or your pet prefer to not be around another animal, I can always crate my pet or keep her in a separate room if needed.😊 -If pet sitting at owner's home, I would be very respectful and follow any and all directions the best I can. If preferred, I can send updates with pictures of your fur baby/babies and how they're doing as much as you'd like.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for my neighborhood since middle school. I have watched all kinds of pets from birds to dogs! I love to go for walks and jogs, and am used to high energy pets. I am currently a student at WVU and have morning to afternoon classes with breaks in between. Other than class I am home and always willing to commute. I am very attentive and have taken care of puppies, dogs, kittens, and cats at different points. I have skills and knowledge of how to work with pets of all ages and sizes.
“She was so sweet and took amazing care of our furballs. She was super patient with our senior kitty who is spicy but ended up becoming friends. Will definitely be using her again”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cheat Lake
My cat, Puffin, was not eating well and not acting like herself. Megan reported changes in Puffin's eating, drinking and in her disposition in every visit and allowed me to enjoy my time away, knowing Megan was keeping up with her. I have used Megan several times, and she's always been very faithful about visiting Puffin and looking after her. Cindy

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.
