“Amanda was a great sitter, and I really appreciate that she was available to sit for me pretty last minute when she'd never met us before. She was happy to arrange a meet and greet for the next day and she quickly impressed both the cat and dog and myself (impressing the cat was particularly noteworthy!). She was always quick to respond, very responsible, and happy to use the reference document she was given. I'd would absolutely be interested in having her sit for us again.”
“Allison was awesome with my two pups - a senior escape artist and an enormous, silly puppy. She took the cutest pictures of my girls and was so easy going and nice!”
“First time meeting Lisa for a drop in visit with our dogs and she is great . Asked great questions regarding dog care and she interacted well with my dogs . Would use her again !”
“Melanie was absolutely awesome. She was so helpful with all of my needs, and she had no problem at all helping me out with extra issues that came up! She was very responsive and asked great questions, and she did an amazing job engaging with my cats and playing with / taking care of them. I felt at ease knowing she was there to take care of them, and I can’t recommend her enough!”
About: I have taken care of dogs ranging from 10 pounds to 160 pounds my entire life. I have owned chihuahua dachshund mix, akitas, huskies, and German shepherds; so I understand big breeds as well as smaller ones. I have helped family members and neighbors with their dogs growing up with house sitting and dog walking. I know how important furbabies are to families, and treat each and every one as I would my own. I currently work full time with every other Monday off. I go to work about 7 am and get home about 430 pm. I do have volleyball leagues on Monday Wednesday and Friday nights that I am gone for 2 hours between 6-11pm as it varies based on game time. I love to hike and be outside so taking the dogs for walks a non issue. I treat all furbabies as if they were my own. I adjust my schedule accordingly to accommodate the animals as best as I can. I have given insulin shots and medication to animals and am comfortable with it.
“Michelle was great with my dog. We met ahead of time and I felt great about having her drop in while we were away. My dog got the break he needed and some playtime and treats as well. I would definitely recommend Michelle and would rebook next time I need someone.”
“Above and beyond. The experience was better than perfect. She went way above what was asked . We ran out of food for a pet and she went ahead and bought some . I did reimburse her but she still took time out to handle the issue. It’s so wonderful to know that someone would go above what was required and care for our pets as their own . I will request Jamie again and knowing how well she did and how she cares , makes it easier to go on vacation more frequently. Amazing job Jamie . Thank you again”
“Darnell is the absolute best. Has been great with my cat and sends tons of photos, including pictures of litter, food, and water so you feel extra reassured your pet is well taken care of.”
About: After recently relocating from Dallas, I’m excited to bring more than 30 years of pet-care experience to my new community. Back in Dallas, I ran an in-home pet-boarding business for a full decade, caring for pets of every breed, size, and personality. Over the years, I’ve also fostered countless dogs through local rescue programs, helping shy, senior, and special-needs pups find their confidence — and their forever homes. However, my experience goes far beyond cuddles and playtime. I’m skilled at administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to aging companions who need a little extra TLC. I believe every animal deserves calm, consistent care that keeps their routine — and their spirits — steady while their people are away. I'm a writer/editor that works remotely, and I have a stay-at-home dog dad to hang with my personal fur kids while I'm away. Point is, I have the a ton of flexibility. I care for your pets just as YOU care for your pets. That is, you set their schedule (feeding, bedtime, play, etc.), and I carry it out while you're away.
“We came into town from LA for a wedding and Rebecca took care of my sweet girl like she was her own! Best idea ever to book time with her! In unfamiliar settings it was great to know that my pup was in caring and good hands, if we come back Rebecca will be seeing Wynn again!”
About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.
“Kassandra is an amazing sitter - very dependable and prompt with communication! Cato loves her and we are very lucky to have her take care of our fur baby when we're away!”
“Lilliana was excellent and extremely professional. She was on time and went the extra mile to make sure our pets were taken care of. I will definitely be using her services again.”

About: I’ve always enjoyed caring for dogs and have experience taking care of my own as well as helping with others. In a effort to getting outside, staying active, and working toward my own fitness goals. I figured, why not accomplish two things at once?! Let me help you feel confident your pup or pups are cared for while getting some extra steps in myself! I’m dependable, attentive, and will treat your dog with the same care I’d want for my own. Please reach out if my schedule is blocked we maybe able to work something out. I currently work full time in Richmond however I am in the office 2-3 days a week. Depending on those days, I can do lunch drop ins, however morning and evenings I am absolutely available. I am also in school so most weekends I am in the area! I am happy to do whatever is needed to care for your pet. If there are additional needs outside walking and feeding the dog please let me know. I am happy to confirm what I am comfortable doing.
“Lauren was really great, especially given our cat is very skiddish/scared and runs under the sofa at the slightest noise. Thank you for being caring and compassionate. When we go out of town again, Lauren will definitely be our selection. We highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve cared for both dogs and cats for over 7 years, starting with my own dog who’s been with me since I adopted him when he was 1 yr old. While I haven’t done formal training or grooming, I’ve handled daily care routines like walking, feeding, playing, and making sure pets feel safe and loved. I care for every pet as if they were my own. Whether it’s companionship or daily care, I bring patience, affection, and a calm presence to every visit. I work full time but work Monday and Thursday’s from home so I can hang out with them all day! I can check in on your pet those days along with weekends! Would love to take them on a walk. I do my best to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I follow your instructions closely whether it’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication needs. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident they’re in good hands while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Chester
We had such a great experience! She came over ahead of time to meet Duke, Winnie, and Green Bean, and immediately made us feel comfortable leaving them in her care. She was so kind, patient, and attentive with all three of our dogs and treated them like they were her own. You can tell she genuinely loves animals and takes the responsibility seriously. We felt completely at ease knowing our pups were being well cared for. We would absolutely recommend her and will definitely use her again!
Sam is AMAZING!!!!!! I cannot say enough about how lucky we were to find Sam. Unexpectedly, just a few days before a lengthy trip, one of our senior pups suffered a seizure in the middle of the night. We couldn't cancel our trip, but we found ourselves with increased anxiety about leaving the dogs and unable to ask our usual housesitter to potentially administer his new emergency medications. We were immediately drawn to Sam's experience as an ER vet tech, but meeting her surpassed even our wildest hopes: she has such a deep wealth of experience in caring for animals and a real passion for ensuring animals live their best, most comfortable lives. As part of her daily visits, Sam did wellness checks on the dogs and sent us detailed, reassuring updates about how well our dog was adjusting to his new medication. Recognizing their limited mobility, she spent her visits loving on them and doing gentle stretches to help with their joints. We returned to healthy, happy pups, and the peace of mind we were able to find on the trip, especially knowing our medically complex dog was in such great hands, was invaluable. We will happily work with Sam again and cannot recommend her to others more highly!
Sabrina took great care of our 3 boys. I'm glad my boys got to stay cozy in our home while we were on vacation. Sabrina sent us pictures of each and they warmed up and were playful even excited Sabrina was there. I highly recommend Sabrina she took great care of our fur babies and will book in the future!
We had a great experience with Jessica and will definitely use her anytime we need a cat sitter. We were away for 5 days and she took excellent care of our 8 cats (including two 4 month old kittens). Jessica was very communicative and kept us informed if anything happened. After every visit, she sent photos of each cat and gave a summary of how the visit went. It was obvious that she genuinely cared about our babies and was attentive to their individual needs.

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.

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.
