“Valerie exceeded our expectations caring for our 13 year old dachshund. She spent ample time with him outside and ensured he ate. We enjoyed the updates with pictures which gave us confidence he was in good hands. We highly recommend Valerie and will request she care for our dog the next time we go out of town.”
“We were a pleased with the care and attention Jaclyn gave our cat while we were on vacation. She did daily drop in visits and sent pics of our cat everyday. We could see how much our kitty appreciated her visits by how she was snuggling or rolling over for Jaclyn. We will definitely hire her again! As a bonus Jaclyn even brought in our packages and mail!”
“Sarah and her husband were great! We got lots of pictures and they had no issues dealing with our two high energy corgis. Will definitely book again with Sarah when we need a sitter!”
About: I had a small dog growing up, I lived with my roommates small dog for a year, and I pet sit (overnight at my house) for my friend’s Yorkie often. I am an active walker and have a yard. I live alone with no kids or other pets. I am looking to bring some reliability and loving care for your pet! I work full time Monday-Friday 15 minutes from my home, so I can come home during my lunch hour, but I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays usually. I am available for daily walks after 5pm, sitting/boarding Thursdays-Sundays. I have a clean and pet friendly 3 bedroom home and neighborhood. I have a backyard and walk daily. I can crate if needed. I will take care of all needs instructed by owners.
“Savanna did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation with my family. She fed and pampered Sasha and sent me updates and pictures everyday. I highly recommend Savanna!”
“Kelli was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. She has experience with older dogs, which we appreciated. She came by for a meet and greet a few days before the appointment and our dog loved her. She took some time to get to know him and seemed to really enjoy doing it. Will definitely book her again!”
“Mercedes did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. She was able to accommodate the times we needed her to come to the house, which was so helpful. I would book with Mercedes again!”
“Crystal replied to a very short notice request as a result of a bailout from a neighbor who had said they would be my evening cat caregiver. She has impressed me with her willingness to spend time with my two very different cats and tend to their personalities and particular needs. She came every evening for six days and spent quality time with them. I highly recommended her and hope she will be available to us again in the near future.”
About: I’m a retired professional who has cared for both dogs and cats when my kids were away at college. This included feeding, playing, and keeping up with training. Although I am new to professional pet-sitting, I’m reliable and committed to the happiness and wellbeing of your beloved pets. I am retired, so I have plenty of time to care for your pets! I am available any day of the week, 8am to 6pm. I am familiar with caring for both dogs and cats. My previous experience includes feeding, playing, walking, and training regimes like crate training and potty training.
“Sarah did an excellent job with our girls Molly and Chloe. Molly is very picky about who she "likes". I was happy to see her playing and coming out when Sarah was there. I will definitely book Sarah again when we need someone in the future.”
“They did a great job with my two puppies DarbyJoe and Tracy. Have to find out what they did so they can take pictures of Tracy. She's very camera shy. Both my dogs were very vocal when they came to the house and when they left. I believe they enjoyed their time with these two.”
“Kaitlyn helped me to take care of my kitty during the holiday season. One of the hardest seasons to find a sitter. Yet, she accepted my request. Not only that. She even helped me out to check on my kitty during the winter storm while I was stuck in Dallas. Overall great availability. She takes pet sitting seriously. Ensuring that your pet will eat its meals, as well as ensuring to play with your pet.”
“Absolutely wonderful! Victoria communicated well, provided lots of photos and my cat adores her! I was nervous as this was my first time using Rover, but Victoria put me at ease and made sure my fur baby was well cared for. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Brianna did a great job taking care of (and cleaning up after) my messy cat while I was away! She was extremely prompt in replying to queries and providing updates, and willing to go beyond the call of duty in checking in on the cat. Highly recommended sitter!”
“Ben was awesome, very nice, caring and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable letting Ben into our home to care for our animals while we were away. We will forsure be using him again in the future.”
About: Hi! I’m Janet. I provide a quiet, home-based boarding experience for dogs who do best in a relaxed environment rather than a busy kennel setting. I work from home full-time, so your dog receives plenty of supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Dogs become part of the household and are welcome to relax on the furniture, follow me from room to room, or sleep wherever they are most comfortable, including the bed if that’s their normal routine at home. My home features a fully fenced yard with dog-door access, allowing dogs to move freely between indoors and outdoors throughout the day. My Home Is Best Suited For Dogs Who: • Are friendly, well-socialized, and non-aggressive • Have a calm to moderate energy level • Enjoy a quieter home environment • Are comfortable with free access to a fenced yard 🚫 Dogs I Do Not Accept For safety and compatibility reasons, I do not accept: • Dogs with a history of aggression toward people or animals • Dogs that jump fences, climb, dig out, or otherwise attempt to escape • High-drive or high-energy dogs that require constant activity • Pit Bulls, Pit Bull-type breeds, American Bullies, Staffordshire Terriers, Cane Corsos, Presa Canarios, Rottweilers, Dobermans, Akitas, Wolf Hybrids, or mixes of these breeds I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. Just provide instructions and I’ll be happy to help. If you’re looking for a peaceful, home-based boarding experience where your dog can relax and receive individualized attention, I’d love to meet you and your pup. I maintain a consistent daily routine and try to keep each dog’s schedule as close as possible to what they’re accustomed to at home, including feeding times, medications, sleeping arrangements, and any special care instructions. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, and preferences before their stay. I also provide updates and photos during boarding so owners know how their dog is doing while they’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Clayton
Morgan was so great with Jax and Lewy. She was able to get Jax to warm up to her which is a task in itself. He’s a grumpy guy. She even went out of her way to bring packages in for me and noticed their water was low and filled it up. I definitely would recommend her.

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 .

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.

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.
