“We have been using Arianna for years now and would not consider anybody else! She's reliable, attentive and really cares about your loved one! Very courteous and respectful also. Highly recommend!”
“Ingrid was a huge help with our puppy, Bubba. She was available to watch him extremely last minute and even squeezed in a quick meet and greet in the AM! 10/10 stars. Thanks Ingrid 😀”
“Was able to come a check in on my baby last minute before the storm! I got stuck out of the country and was not going to be home when I thought and she made sure he was okay. Thank you so much. A life saver!”
About: I’ve had animals of all kind my entire life, from guinea pigs to pugs to rescue mixes, and everything in between. I’ve worked as a professional dog walker caring for up to 8 dogs at a time. I take great pride in treating all of the animals like my own! My goal is to work in pet care full time! I’m available Monday through Friday, any time between 8am and 5pm. I am also available on weekends if communicated in advance. I tailor my care to each pets individual routine to maintain consistency and minimize their stress. I am comfortable greeting dogs who have free rein of their home or dogs who are crated during the day. I would love to take your pet for walks, to play in a nearby park or yard, or just stop in for potty and snack breaks - whatever they need!
About: I’ve been raising dogs since i was a child. I’ve had 4 dogs throughout my life. Out of the most recent 2, one was a senior with heart problems so i have much experience with older dogs and giving medicine if necessary. My other dog is a rescue, i’ve raised since she was 3 months old. In addition to behavioral classes i took with her, i’ve potty trained, crate trained and trained her to have basic skills myself. I’ve raised most of my dogs (there was one adult rescue) from puppy to senior years so i hold much experience with dogs in these age ranges. I can care for dogs that are of all skill levels and ages. My dog and i are able to adapt to any energy level your pup may be at and will always care for them as if they are my own. I currently work full-time but luckily I am hybrid. I work in office Mon, Tues, and Thurs. Otherwise, I will normally always be with your pet unless i must go out and run errands. However, i also love to take my dog wherever i go as long as i know i’m making a quick stop, so if your dog loves car rides we will be together most of their stay. During 2025 holidays i will be at home full time until 1/4/26 I have one sweet puppy who loves other dogs and will gladly welcome them into the home. i tend to keep the house pretty tidy so my dogs can’t get into anything. If there’s anything specific your fur baby needs to avoid let me know. Lastly, i have a camera in my home to watch my puppy if i’m away and as my client i can provide footage of their stay to keep you at comfort.
About: I’ve been around dogs for most of my life, as my family has always had them. I love playing with dogs, taking them for walks, and helping them enjoy a beautiful day outdoors. I’m currently between jobs, which gives me plenty of flexibility and time to care for your dog. I’m available for walks, playtime, and giving your pet plenty of attention throughout the day. I will keep your dog safe by following your instructions, using a secure leash, staying aware of our surroundings, and providing plenty of exercise, playtime, attention, and affection.
“Andrea is amazing! I’m feel such a sense of relief knowing that she takes car of my babies. She always plays music for them and creates fun games to keep them active and engaged. She’s the best!”
“Brittany was so wonderful to work with! She took care of my cat for a weekend and sent a thoughtful update after each visit. I'm so grateful and would definitely choose her again!”
About: What sets me apart is the level of patience, attentiveness, and genuine care I bring to every pet. With 20 years of hands on experience, I understand that animals have individual personalities, routines, and comfort levels. I take time to earn their trust, notice the little things, and make them feel safe while their family is away. I’ll follow your instructions closely, provide plenty of love and attention, and send regular photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is being treated like family. My flexible schedule allows me to make pet care a natural part of my daily routine. I’m available throughout the week and can dedicate plenty of time to walks, feeding, playtime, check ins, and companionship. I’ll work with you to follow the schedule your pet already knows and feels comfortable with. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always come first. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, walking routines, house rules, and special care requests. I keep doors and leashes secure, pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, and make sure their environment stays clean and comfortable. I’ll also send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Vee was lovely to work with from start to finish. She took wonderful care of Louis and was so sweet and attentive with him, spending time playing with him and giving him lots of cuddles. It was clear he was comfortable and happy with her, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We’d happily have Vee care for him again and would definitely recommend her!”
“Highly recommend Brittany! She took such wonderful care of my dog, Petunia - checked in consistently throughout her time and sent lots of pics! She is so very kind with my girl, and she can be a bit stubborn at times!”
About: We always loved caring for pets, especially getting to go on long summer walks! My fiance and I have been a pet sitter for many families in Boston for years. We work full time but mostly remote so we’d love a fun excuse to get out of the house on weekdays! We can also do weekends. 😊 We love listening to pet owners and hearing exactly how they like to take care of their pets because everyone (and every pet) is different!
“Amanda is fantastic! She was so attentive and caring for my 2 kitties while I was out of town. She’s very responsive, sent lots of pics and I can tell she truly cares about their well being. Def recommend & I will book her again in the future! Thanks Amanda!”
“I had the pleasure of having Lynn to look after my cats while I was away, and I couldn't be more pleased with the service provided. Lynn was incredibly professional, attentive, and caring. Each visit was accompanied by detailed updates and photos, which gave me great peace of mind knowing my cat was in good hands.”
“Cat was so great with our two cats while we were away. She followed the instructions and gave detailed updates & visit summaries. It was a relief to know they were in such good hands.”
About: I have always had my own dogs and cats throughout my life. I now find myself without a pet and really miss my own pups! Also, I have been working with a Service Dog Trainer in order to train those hard-working dogs! It has been very rewarding, and I also would like to help you with anything that you need help with to allow your dog be the best dog they can be. I am currently working on my training certification full time but since my schedule is flexible, I can meet the time needs of your pet. I am working towards my Training Certification which has been really exciting for me. I will always walk your dog on his/her leash unless I am advised otherwise. I live near a few parks but also enjoy dog walking at the Beach. Dog socialization is important, but your pet's safety and happiness is paramount to me. I live alone so I can devote all of my attention to your pet
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life and truly understand how important it is to provide attentive, compassionate care. I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I also have experience caring for multiple pets at once, as I currently have two cats, so I’m comfortable managing different personalities, routines, and needs at the same time. I currently care for one of my pets who has asthma, which has given me hands-on experience administering medication multiple times a day and closely monitoring health needs. This experience has made me especially attentive to changes in behavior and routine, and comfortable supporting pets with ongoing medical needs. I also adopted a cat who came from a very difficult past and was initially fearful and withdrawn. Through patience, consistency, and a lot of love, I’ve helped him build trust and grow into a more confident, comfortable companion. That experience deepened my understanding of how to work with anxious or sensitive animals at their own pace. Through all of this, I’ve developed a strong understanding of animal behavior along with gentle, effective training techniques, allowing me to provide care that’s both nurturing and responsive to each pet’s unique personality. It is an every day piece of my routine as a primary carer for two pets of my own. I will give your loved ones the same level of care and attention that I am able to give to mine! I have indoor animals of my own, but am fully comfortable in a number of settings. Ive been surrounded by my own pets as well as those of friends and family. I know how much my boys mean to me and I will always approach care for your best friends the same way I would care for mine
“I’m very happy with Lisa. She checked in on my cat Kika while I was out of town. Refilled her food and water. Thank you Lisa! I’m very sure I will contact you again. :)”
“Brittany is awesome! She had great communication with us throughout and sent us so many pictures. Our dog and cat absolutely loved her. She gave them so much attention and played a lot with them. I highly recommend Brittany. It’s great to have such peace of mind while away knowing that our pets were receiving such great care. I look forward to Brittany watching our boys the next time we go somewhere. Thank you Brittany!”

Jenin was amazing! She was so communicative and went out of her way to make me feel comfortable leaving Eloise in her care. I loved all the pictures!! This was Eloise’s first time with a sitter and Jenin was so understanding and kind about her taking a while to warm up. Highly recommend!
Chassity took amazing care of our two cats while we were on vacation. She was great with both cats, followed our instructions to a t, and kept us consistently updated with photos and the rover card for every visit. It allowed us to enjoy our vacation more knowing that Louie and Vuitton were well taken care of.
Felicia was wonderful! She listened to my recommendations of how to approach the first meeting with my dog, as he is nervous with new people. She goes at his pace and isn’t in his face but gives him lots of pets when he wants them. She is also very communicative and goes above and beyond- even trying help us with the crate he broke out of 😅 Felicia provided great peace of mind and I knew Lincoln was in good hands.

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 .

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.
