“Jake took such great care of my pets! He was able to handle my cat, senior dog and our puppies, was such a lifesaver while I was out of town. The pictures he took are so cute too, would definitely recommend Jake watching your pets, he treated them with a lot of care.”
“Mallory was fantastic. I needed a last minute drop in and she was able to come do the meet/greet and two days of drop ins all within about 24 hours notice. Pictures were uploaded as requested and definitely will be using her on the future.”
“She was great! The animals are fed and happy. I have a cat as well as some less conventional pets, and all were well taken care of. Glad to find someone experienced with reptiles!”
“We have now booked Julia twice. We continue to be impressed with this young woman. We are so thankful for the way she cares for our two pets who are far more “fur children “ to us than animals! Thank you so much, Julia!”
“Keslie was so easy to work with and wonderful with our dog! We hired her to drop-in/walk/play with our dog four times when we were out of town and she was prompt, spent extra time, and sent the best pictures. I would love to continue using her!”
About: I've been pet sitting for four years, caring for 15+ animals ranging from dogs and cats to fish. Whether it's overnight stays at your home or multiple drop-in visits throughout the day, I make sure your pet stays comfortable, safe, and on their routine while you're away. Your home and your pet will be treated with the same care I'd give my own. As a student with a flexible schedule, pet care fits seamlessly into my day. I have plenty of availability for drop-in visits throughout the day, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings, including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. Your pet will never feel like a gap in someone's busy calendar. When caring for pets in your home, my priority is keeping their routine as normal as possible so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you're away. I'll follow your feeding schedule, walk and play with them on their usual schedule, keep their space clean and tidy, and give them plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you always know how they're doing. Your home will be treated with the same respect and care as my own.
“Annika was wonderful with my two fur babies. She kept abreast of their well being with pictures and comments. She even managed to get a picture of Lucy who is very shy with strangers. She’s the best!”
“Abby was absolutely amazing at caring for my kitty, who was recovering from an UTI, over the holiday break. I was gone multiple weeks and she made sure my kitty was well fed, spoiled with catnip, and given love. She also went absolutely above and beyond while maintaining our clean litter box and even vacuumed when my kitty tracked litter out. She sent adorable photos every visit and I truly felt my cat was in great hands. My baby didn't even have a stress UTI when I returned home, which I credit all to Abby dropping in and making my cat feel safe while I was away. I will definitely use her again when I travel and highly recommend her to anyone needing care.”
“Landon was amazing with my dog snoopy. He stayed with him the whole time and gave him that last minute playtime/potty break. I’m grateful for the care he gave snoopy and I’ll definitely book again and recommend him. He was the best with my energetic pup.”
“Madison attended to my lab as requested. She called asap when not finding her food that I accidentally left locked up. She promptly purchased her some food, in which I reimbursed her on, when I returned.”
“April once again did a great job. My little boy loves her! My shy girl actually came out of her kennel even though this was only her second visit. This is huge for my girl as she endured abuse before coming to live with us and does not trust people very well.”
About: I grew up on a farm. My mom raised puppies and kittens. Growing up I lived with at least eight dogs and eight cats at a time (in a small trailer). Now I live in a small house with room outside to walk a dog-- and can even take them to a trail or creek if you wish. I am not scared of aggressive animals. Some pets need more attention than others! I am a house cleaner from 7:30AM to about 11AM-3PM (it depends on the houses). However, I can make time to come home in between work for your pet. I am free all day on weekends. I have a small grass field, a safe neighborhood, and a cozy home. I make sure your pet always has water and food (unless otherwise specified) and attention.
About: I have taken care of my dogs and cats since I was physically able to. I have always had a strong love for pets and never had a hard time adjusting when my parents would get us new ones. There was a point in time where i had 7 pets in the house! I absolutely adore animals and have been hired by friends and family to house/pet sit while they are away since i was able to drive. Im currently student at the University of Alabama. So I have lots of free time to care for your pets. I’m free before 2 pm every weekday and every 5 pm every weekday. I care for pets in their own home where they feel most comfortable. I stick to their normal routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and lots of attention, so they feel safe and relaxed while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of primarily dogs and some cats for family members and friends since I was young. I love being able to help any furry friend, and I even volunteered at the humane society for a few months! I am currently a student at the university so I have early mornings, evenings, and the weekends available! I love to walk and run on the Black Warrior Riverwalk, as well as around campus. I have three shelties at home that I enjoy letting run around outside with an invisible fence and take on walks in the woods or greenways. They have a very active and calm lifestyle, with lots of cuddles and attention to go with their adventures on free days! They get fed twice a day and get a little bedtime treat each night :)
About: I’ve taken care of every kind of dog since I was around the age of 9. I’ve also been trusted by many family and friends to take care of their pets. I would love to care for your pet like my own! I’m a stay at home mom, so i’m free any day of any week to keep your animals! I have plenty of time to play with your pets! I have a okay sized yard for your pet to run and play, I can create if needed. I’m more than happy to travel to you to care for them!
About: I’ve had my own dogs my entire life, caring for them and others. Ultimately I decided to give my love to animals at shelters and boarding facilities, and now I hope to extend my love for animals to your sweet baby! Ive worked with 3 legged dogs, blind dogs, deaf dogs, and everything in between! I am currently a worker at a dog daycare, I am available for my services everyday but my job does cut the time available on those days much shorter. I love walking so me and your pup will get lots of exercise! Mental stimulation is a big thing for me, lots of lick mats and puzzles will be available! Potty breaks every 2 hours or as needed, and playing with them for as long as they want!
“Mallory is amazing. I have a very shy and fearful dog. She’s taken the time to get to know her and works at her speed ensuring that all her needs are met while I’m at work/away. She communicates very well with me. She even came by and picked up my dog while I was at work to keep her safe when there was a tornado watch. She knew my dog was alone and I don’t have family nearby. She was there within minutes to get her. Of course she checked with me first, but Mallory put my dog’s safety first and I can’t thank her enough for that. She’s very considerate and works hard to meet everyone’s needs. Even if she’s busy and I ask her to stop by she’ll figure out a way to fit my request in her schedule. She’s excellent and I highly recommend her.”

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
