“Suzie was awesome! She took very good care of our cat while we were out of town. My cat loved seeing her when she visited. I will definitely use Suzie again and highly recommend her.”
“This was our first time ever using Rover and let me just say..Lura was absolutely fantastic and took the BEST care of our little Roxy girl. She sent lots of photos and sent detailed messages after each visit. We couldn’t be happier with the service we received! We will absolutely be booking Lura again when we need at home visits!”
“Jen made this so easy. She came to meet my dog (Zelda) before I left for my trip, and I felt very comfortable leaving Zelda knowing that Jen was going to take great care of her. Jen sent picks of walking adventures and fetch. It really was helpful and easy! She took excellent care of Zelda (and me).”
“Bethany was amazing! We had to book her last minute to care for our cat while we were away for the weekend because she was recently hospitalized and needed someone to administer her medicine and she came through in a pinch and took great care of our girl. She provides lots of updates and truly cares for your pets like her own! I will definitely rebook with her in the future, and I’m sure our cat will be happy about that too!”
“Leah did an amazing job watching our fur babies! Our dog struggles with meeting strangers, and she was willing to book several different drop ins with us beforehand to make sure he would be comfortable. He quickly was super cuddly with her and loved having her there! Will definitely be booking with her again 😊”
About: I’ve take care of all kinds of animals (dogs, cats, reptiles) since I was 10 years old. I have always been a trustworthy person to take care of your beloved family member. I am a teacher, a dog and cat owner myself. I am reliable, honest and kind to every person and animal big or small. I’m a teacher who has open summers. I can come morning, afternoon, or night. I have my own dog and cats that I care for on a daily basis and I would treat your animals just like I would my own. I have a fenced yard with a very friendly, spayed Dalmatian named Blue. I also have 2 very friendly rescue cats, Graham and Mellow. I have a lot of space and experience.
“Ashley is a mature and caring person; she is easy going with people & pets, but sticks to her set schedule. She has learned our quirky dog's behavior and been able to take care of 4 of our pets at once without trouble. I'm a pet sitter, as well, and we have worked jobs together at alternating times and we have similar standards of care for the pets we care for, which I appreciate.”
About: I had always enjoyed take care of dogs. I have a rescued dog and he is my best friend. I had always had dog throughout my life and they become part of my family. I am retired so I’m always available. My home is always open for dogs that need a home when you are away. They will be safe with me. I treat all of my pets with love. A lot of attention and give them everything they need. They are always well taken care of.
“Ashley was amazing! She watched our dogs while we were out of the country and was very communicative. She was consistent with visit times and sent pictures each time. We felt super comfortable and were able to relax on vacation knowing our dogs were taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“Adrienne is great with my cats. One is super shy and unsure of life, she has warmed up to her during the second time Adrienne has watched her. Marco is also a bit unsure, but seems to also like her. I’m grateful for how responsive she is and that she is patient with me as an overprotective cat parent.”
About: I’ve been around dogs of all sizes and personalities my whole life — from tiny pups to giant gentle giants. I treat every dog like they’re my own, with lots of love, attention, and care. Whether your pup is playful, shy, energetic, or laid-back, I make sure they feel safe, happy, and right at home. I work very close to home which means your pup gets plenty of love, attention, and playtime! My husband and I are both off on weekends, holidays, and several breaks throughout the year. My husband also works locally. So there’s usually someone home for extra belly rubs and company. We’re a dog-loving household ready to make your pup feel right at home! Safety is always my number one priority. I treat them like family — with lots of love and attention. At home, I have a friendly black lab mix who loves to play with new pals! She’s crate trained and well-socialized. You can trust that your furry friend will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.
“Erin was incredible! Very communicative and clearly cares about animals. She watched my cat while I was out of town for a week and provided great updates/photos the entire time I was away. It felt great being on vacation knowing that my cat was being so well taken care of. Could not recommend Erin highly enough! Will absolutely be using her again in the future.”

I know the care, effort and responsibility that comes with looking after them. I love taking care of family/ friends dogs. It would be such an honor to love on and take care of your baby.

About: I’ve previously been a dog trainer, and have worked at several daycare/pet-centered places. Dogs are my absolute joy, and I can’t wait to meet yours! My work schedule is a bit up in the air right now, but I’ll do everything I can to ensure your pup is comfortable while you’re away. I make sure dogs go out frequently to potty, whether that be a quick walk on the leash, or letting them out in the backyard. Meals are given per instructions left for me, and playtime will definitely happen, if that’s something they enjoy. Otherwise, we can snuggle up.
About: I've been around and cared for animals my entire life, growing up with both dogs and cats. I still help care for my family's pets and also have a cat of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life. I also grew up near neighbors who fostered dogs and puppies, and I loved spending time helping socialize and play with their foster puppies. This gave me experience being around puppies of different breeds, sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I'm comfortable with walks, feeding, playtime, litter box care, puppy care, and keeping pets company while their owners are away. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and understand that every pet has their own personality and routine. I'll always follow your care instructions closely and treat your pets with the same kindness and attention I'd want for my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time and attention to pet care throughout the week. I'm available for weekday walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting, as well as many evenings and weekends. I enjoy being active and spending time outdoors, so incorporating walks and pet care into my routine is something I'd genuinely enjoy! Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine will always be my priority. When caring for pets in a client's home, I'll carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medications, routines, and household rules. I understand that every pet is different, so I'll take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable with me. I'll also keep you updated (with lots of pictures if needed!) while you're away so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Rodrigo is a caring animal owner himself. He shows much love for all animals. Rodrigo is very reliable and trust worthy. He has come into our lives at the most needed time. We have already rebooked him! Our rescue baby girl loves him! She is an American pitbull terrier who doesn’t like all, but Rodrigo stole her heart!”

I cannot say enough wonderful things about the care Bailey received! Finding someone you can genuinely trust with your dog means everything, especially when your dog is such an important part of your life. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Bailey was in such caring and attentive hands. The kindness, patience, and genuine love for animals really stood out to me. I’m so grateful to have found someone who treats Bailey like family rather than just another dog to watch. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving to care for their fur baby! I will be using her services in the future.
Larry was great! He hung out with our needy cat, and she warmed up to him so quickly. They were fast friends, and he provided updates on her eating habits (which was something I told him I worry about). I will definitely be rebooking and referring my friends.
Jessica was amazing! Super friendly, easy to work with, and my cat warmed right up to her as well! I felt relieved knowing my cat was getting great care and love while I was on vacation! Definitely recommend and will be contacting again for future pet sitting needs :)
Bethany is wonderful! She takes amazing care of my pups who love to be rotten when I’m out of town. She is very communicative goes the extra mile and cleans up messes. Cannot express how great she is and how comfortable I feel knowing that she is taking care of my babies when I’m gone.
Courtney has taken care of my dog, Kala, several times, and every experience has been amazing. She always keeps me updated with messages and photos, goes above and beyond, and truly treats Kala like her own. I always come home to a happy dog and a spotless house. I completely trust Courtney and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
I was a little nervous to use a new dog sitter for my 2 big dogs but right away Cody stood out from the rest. He came over to meet Zuko and Krypto and I was immediately was at ease. It was obvious Cody was a natural fit for them. Cody dropped in while we were on vacation, gave me daily report cards and pictures of the dogs which I really appreciated. I know the dogs loved him! It was nice to not worry about them while we were gone! We will definitely be using Cody again, thank you!

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.

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.

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 .
