“Courtney is absolutely fabulous!! We adore her. Teddy, our golden doodle puppy, was quite a handful at 4 months old when she started with us. He loved her from the start and she has been so patient with all of his puppy antics and sharp little teeth! It has given us so much peace of mind to have her caring as much about our little guy as we do. Wait until you hear about her foster work at home as well! She is just an all-around great person and animal lover. 6 out of 5 stars! We highly recommend!!!”
“Wow- Lauren was amazing with our tuxedo cat, Neko. She checked on him twice per day , fed him, played with him and petted him. Her communication was excellent and she sent pictures every visit! We are very thankful for her top notch care, will use her again and we highly recommend her to others!! THANKS AGAIN, Lauren!!”
“Reliable, kind, gentle, loving and wonderful! The dogs (and ducks) were in great hands! Shared updates and pictures so I could see how comfortable and confident my dogs were with her. It can be hard to find someone to trust with your pets and Rebecca is an absolute gem.”
“Bailey was absolutely amazing!! We felt so at ease and not worried about our dog while traveling for a week. She loved on him like he was her own and ensured he had lots of play time. She followed all of our care instructions to the letter. We so appreciated all the picture updates as well. We will absolutely hire her any time she is available! Cannot recommend Bailey enough!”
“Just incredible! Andrea sends detailed updates on every visit and my girls love the individual attention and daily walks and scratches Andrea gives. I’ve been a repeat customer 4 times now, and satisfied with every experience!”
“She sent us pictures and updates from every visit and made a concentrated effort to befriend them. It made it possible for us to take a much needed vacation and not worry about our how our kitties are doing! Would definitely hire her again!”
“Crystal is a wonderful cat sitter—reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. She followed instructions carefully, sent regular updates, and our cat was calm and happy when we returned. Highly recommend.”
“Colby was great. He was able to help us out at the last second with two drop in visits. Colby was prompt, friendly, and took great care of our pup. She was a happy doggo when we arrived home. The play pics let us know Dottie was in good hands. Definitely recommend.”
About: Growing up I was always the person my neighbors, teachers, and aunts went to when they needed a dog sitter. I always enjoyed doing this and even at a young age I knew I was responsible for someone’s whole world! Now having my own puppy, a one year old Plotthound, I understand even more how important it is to be an attentive and caring pet sitter! I am currently beginning my first semester at law school at Lincoln Memorial! Even with I still have plenty of time in the mornings and evenings to to stop by for a quick visit or walk, especially on the weekends! While I am unable to have dogs in my home, I will be very attentive to all pets while watching them whether that be in a clients home, yard, or on a walk. Being a pet sitter my service is providing as much care and attention to pets as possible during a visit.
About: I have professional pet-sitting experience with dogs of different breeds, temperaments, socialization, and behavior. I have worked with puppies, senior dogs, and all in between! At this time, my schedule is mostly open and I am accepting new clients. I am available during the week and weekends as well. Let me know if you have any questions! I have 2 dogs myself, a pit mix and beagle. They are truly the beat companions. I can do drop-in visits, doggy daycare (can be customized to your dog’s needs / wants), overnight boarding in our home, and dog walks!
About: I make friends everywhere I go , not just humans! Dogs and cats too. I am detail oriented and love animals! I am easy going with requests. I work at FedEx through the night and I would to help families through the evening! I am available for dog walking and dog sitting. I would diligently play with them, give them attention but also train them to be obedient. I would take great care of them when walking them. Keep my eyes on them.
About: I’ve worked in dog daycare and boarding for six years as well as taking care of my pets. I also have some experience taking care of horses and sheep. I’m generally available weekdays from 11 AM–2 PM, with evening flexibility from 4–6 PM as needed. I’m also available on weekends. I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds, beginning in childhood, and I’m committed to providing your pet with attentive, dependable, and compassionate care.
About: I have hands-on experience from interning at a veterinarian clinic and working for a local pet care company similar to Rover. As a pet owner myself (dog and epileptic kitten), I know how to handle walks, feeding, bathing, medications, and more. Your pet will be in caring and capable hands! I am available most weekends. I also work from home often, which provides me more flexibility. However, days I am in the office, I am available mornings, lunch time, and evenings. I provide attentive, personalized care by ensuring pets are fed, walked, and given plenty of affection. I follow routines, administer medications if needed, and maintain a safe, comfortable environment in both my home and clients’ homes. I have an epileptic kitten, so am no stranger to anything pet related.

Reliable, kind, gentle, loving and wonderful! The dogs (and ducks) were in great hands! Shared updates and pictures so I could see how comfortable and confident my dogs were with her. It can be hard to find someone to trust with your pets and Rebecca is an absolute gem.
Terrigan was very communicative during the process. She took great care of our 12 year boxer/pit boy, Kodi! She has been our best sitter we have had. She respected our home and my many sticky notes and went above and beyond to show Kodi love while we were away. We would love to have Terrigan care for our pets moving forward!

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.
