“Jen was very sweet, what can I say? We left our car hiding under the bed, as she had pretty stressful couple of weeks before our departure, and we came back to a very happy and relaxed cat. Thank you Jen for taking care of her and making sure she felt safe !”
“Dawn took great care of mitzu kitty while we were on vacation. Came every day and even helped with plants and packages. Will definetly be using Dawn next time we travel. Thanks!!!”
“Total life saver ! All the times we really needed someone reliable Dominique was there! 🥹 she’s so sweet with our animals and makes sure to ask questions to be able to provide the best care she can for the them. We were a little hesitant to try rover, but she has calmed our nerves. We really recommend her!”
“Excellent and so very responsive to scheduling. What a relief to have Dina take care of my pups. They love her visits and get a good run in the middle of the day. Highly recommend Dina.👍”
“everything went exceptionally well with Kevin taking care of Darla and River. Kevin was punctual, followed instructions that were left and interacted with the dogs extremely well. I give him 5 STARS and will use him when his services are required in the future.”
“Bianca is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter. She looked after my cat with so much care. From the very beginning, she was highly professional, reliable, and communicative, sending regular updates and pictures that gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely loves animals, and my cat warmed up to her immediately. I highly recommend Bianca to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter, and I will definitely be hiring her again in the future! Bianca, thank you very much!”
“Allison was absolutely fantastic! I have 2 cats, Lady and Casey. Casey needs medication twice a day for Hyperthyroidism and IBD. Lady is very timid around strangers. From the moment Allison came over to meet them, both Lady and Casey were comfortable with her. Allison sent pictures while I was away and I was amazed at how engaged Lady was with her. Allison gave Casey his medication while I was away. So happy ! When I came home, I came home to 2 happy cats. She even took in my packages that came while I was away. There are many different people to choose from on Rover and I am grateful I chose Allison! If you're looking for a pet sitter to truly care I highly recommend Allison!!”
“Kimberly was great with our dog. She came at the hours she said she would, took very good care of our dog, sent us pictures and was very professional. I would highly recommend her! I have used rover before and had a bad experience. I was nervous to use the site again but I'm glad I gave it another chance.”
About: I have over two years of professional experience working with dogs and have been a dog owner for more than 15 years. I believe in allowing dogs to approach at their own pace and building trust through patience and understanding. I have experience caring for puppies as well as dogs with behavioral challenges. I am the owner of Outreach Dog Walking LLC. I’m a college student with flexible availability. The only times I’m unavailable are Tuesdays before 1 PM and Thursdays. I live at home, so overnights at my home aren’t an option, but I’m happy to stay overnight at your home if needed. I am capable of handling multi-dog families. Due to my background, I'm used to seeing sibling sets of 2-3, despite never personally owning more than 2 dogs at 1 time
About: What sets me apart is the level of care, attention, and trust I bring to every pet I watch. I’ve cared for friends’, neighbors’, and clients’ pets both in my home and during overnight stays, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each pet’s routine and environment. I have experience with a wide range of needs, including administering medications and injections, and I’m attentive to any changes in behavior or health. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs structure and play, or a senior pet who requires a gentler, more patient approach, I tailor my care to what makes them feel safest and happiest. I also prioritize communication, making sure owners feel at ease with regular updates and photos. My goal is always to make pets feel comfortable, loved, and stress-free while their owners are away. Caring for pets is something I genuinely enjoy, so it’s not something I try to “fit in”, it’s something I intentionally make time for and build my routine around. My approach to pet care is always tailored to each pet’s routine, personality, and needs. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to keep things as stress-free as possible. This includes feeding, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions the owner provides. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise, while also keeping their environment clean and secure. I’m respectful of the home and aim to leave everything just as I found it. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment where they can feel relaxed and at ease. I keep a consistent routine for feeding, potty breaks, and playtime, and I make sure they get lots of supervision and affection throughout the day.
About: I’ve cared for cats and dogs most of my life and really enjoy connecting with each pet’s unique personality. Caring for my senior dog Benji during his later years taught me a lot about patience and paying attention to the little things that make a big difference in their comfort and happiness. I’m gentle and patient with shy or nervous pets and enjoy creating calm, low-stress environments. But I’m also happy to play and engage with energetic pets to help them burn off energy and feel satisfied by the end of our visit. I’m comfortable administering medications and always treat pets and their homes with respect and care. I work full time during the week, so most of my availability is in the early mornings (6-9 am), evenings (after 5:30 pm), and weekends. There can be some flexibility there if we work it out ahead of time :) I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine as much as possible, and I make sure they still get plenty of attention and care during the times I’m with them. If your pet needs a consistent schedule, just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. When I visit your home, I treat it with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable by following their routine closely, keeping their space clean, and paying attention to anything that might seem off. I always double check that doors and windows are secure before I leave. I know it’s a big deal to trust someone with your pet and your home, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Thank you so much! Nicholas went above and beyond for Harvey and even took him out to play with his favorite ball! Your attention to detail doesn’t go unnoticed! Thank you again!”
“Ella is the best sitter I have ever found!!! She gives my baby lots of cuddles and kisses, plays with her, and sends me so many photos and videos! She made communicating very easy and she’s just the sweetest girl! I’m excited to have her come back again!”
“Jamie has taken care of my 2 cats multiple times now and always does a great job! Whether it’s extras like making sure Cat TV is on for them, feeding, treats and playtime, the cats are always happy and well taken care of when I come back from trips :)”
About: I’ve taken care of 5 family dogs from puppyhood to later stages of life as well as dog sat for family friends and other family members. I currently work full time but I get home around 3pm most days. I normally get home and take my puppy Robin on a two mile walk and run. I care for Robin with a fenced in small yard and using the crate for when me and my fiancée are out. I would take care of your dog in whichever way you need.
“I would leave more stars if I could! Lily did a FANTASTIC job caring for my 2 cats while I was away. My cats eat only wet food, several times a day, so automatic feeders had to be set up daily. Lily did a great job following the instructions on how to feed them and it was nice returning from a long weekend away to a clean home- clean cat bowls, clean litter box, clean eating area, etc! I cannot thank Lily enough and I will be hiring her again soon!”
About: I'm a big dog owner for 20 + years. Had labs, pit bull mixes, rottweiler and a golden retriever, etc. Love dogs...they are so sweet and loving. Love to walk them and play with them. UPDATE- I now have a dog of my own. A lab/husky mix named Bo. He is about 3 and LOVES to play. He is dog friendly and LOVES people. He is 55 lbs. I work FT at home in Laurence Harbor (part of Old Bridge). I can board your dog(s) for you at my home. I have plenty of dog toys. I have a good sized fenced in yard with a 6ft vinyl fence. I love to walk dogs, play ball, cuddle and spoil all the dogs I watch. If you are looking for dog walking or dog sitting at your home, I can mostly only do that evenings or weekends. I can board your dog at my home 7 days a week. Drop in visits/dog walking or dog sitting at your home is evenings and weekends. I have a fenced in yard and live in a dog friendly neighborhood. Love to take dogs for walks and play fetch in the house and my yard.
“Paige, I can’t thank you enough for scheduling on short notice. I feel like Reef misses his walks with you already. The service and care was amazing. I would recommend Paige to anyone looking at a sitter! Will be requesting you every time I’m away! Thanks again”
About: Hi ☺️ my name is Dennisse and I have lots of experience taking care of pets, including my 11 year old cat Flame and my 10 year old Labrador mix Muff! I love all animals and promise to give them tons of love during my visits and walks! One of my favorite parts of the day is walking my dog Muff because we both get some much needed exercise and we walk a different route everyday because you know walking the same route and smelling the same things everyday can be boring so I gotta mix it up to keep him entertained. I want to spread the love and care to other pets so here I am creating a Rover profile because my boyfriend said I can’t have any more pets 😅. Thank you for reading and I hope you have a fantastic day! I work from home three times a week and my fiancé is home the other two so there is always someone here to watch the fur babies. I usually take my dog for a long walk once a day and we play in the yard as well. I like to maintain the pet’s routine as much as possible because that reduces anxiety and allows the pet to trust me and feel happy. I like to play with cats and dogs and take dogs out for walks or do a scavenger hunt in the backyard to tire them out so they can sleep peacefully at night.
About: I have taken care of neighbors dogs, our friends dogs, and our own dogs for as long as i can remember. I love animals. I grew up having all different animals in the house, so I have much experience with them, and would love to take care of other local fur friends. I currently work from home, so I’m super flexible! I am available any day of the week for drop ins, and walks. Whichever you prefer! I care for fur friends in others homes by always keeping their animals safe, fed, and loved as if their owner was there with them.

Allison was wonderful with our cat! She set up a meet-and-greet beforehand and was so friendly and easy to talk to. Once we booked, she was extremely communicative and gave us updates with every visit, which really helped put our minds at ease while we were away. Our cat can be very finicky and is definitely a scaredy cat, but Allison was patient and gentle with him. We felt completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands and would absolutely recommend Allison to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
We are so happy to have found Allison. This is our second year having her during our family vacation. We have a 13 y/o dog and of course it’s always nerve wracking leaving him, but I know he’s in good hands with Allison. She is so patient with him and writes the best summaries of their time together. A few times she came and he was asleep, or wouldn’t eat, and she was able to adjust and still get him fed, walked and loved on each visit. Highly recommend!
We couldn’t be more grateful for Lisa! She is kind, reliable, caring, and truly treats our dog like her own. We appreciate all of her help more than words can say and feel so lucky to have found someone we trust completely. Thank you for everything you do!
Maria is outstanding and truly goes above and beyond. She is reliable, caring, and clearly takes great pride in what she does. She will definitely be my go-to person whenever we need someone to watch our dog. I would highly recommend Maria and her services to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pet.
Dina is wonderful, was very accommodating to our needs, even changed dates for me last minute when I made an error in booking. She is kind and we felt very comfortable with our furry sons in her care ❤️ we loved getting pics of them! Would absolutely use Dina again and recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
Jenniffer was absolutely wonderful! She kept in constant communication, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I felt completely comfortable leaving my dog, Gracie, in her care, and it was such a relief knowing my baby was safe, happy, and well taken care of during my vacation. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
Elizabeth has been caring for my puppy and doing an amazing job, she is reliable and professional and has demonstrated a lot of patience for my me English bulldog who is very stubborn breed. Elizabeth is very good with her and just a nice person. Thank you Elizabeth.

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.

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 use the 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.
