“Linh did a great job caring for our cat Josie. She was easy to communicate with and even helped us troubleshoot an autofeeder when it stopped working. Would be happy to work with Linh again.”
“Sara came to our rescue at the last minute. We were grateful that she could accommodate our requests. Daisy seemed to enjoy her time with Sara and the new ball. We will have her back another time.”
About: My family began taking care of different dogs at the beginning of 2024. Our licensed home kennel is a single large house with a fenced yard where the dogs can play. I work mostly from home, and my mom is a housewife, so we’re both able to spend plenty of time caring for the dogs. We’ll also share photos and videos with you to make sure you feel confident that they’re having a great stay with us! We would like to schedule a meet-and-greet (a one-night trial is preferred) before the actual stay to ensure everyone feels comfortable. To follow state regulations, we require that your pets have an up-to-date rabies vaccination and that you provide the records for us to keep on file. We also need your pets to wear a collar with their current license attached. My parents and I love dogs and cats very much. We know they are part of your family, and we will treat them as part of ours as well. Thank you for trusting us! Since I work mostly from home and my mom is a housewife, we’re both home throughout the day. This gives us plenty of time to care for the pets, supervise them, and play with them as part of our daily and weekly routine. I have a clean, dedicated bedroom that can be used as a private space for pets if they need their own room. I also have a backyard that is partially fenced where pets can safely play. Whenever they are outside, I stay with them to provide supervision and ensure they are safe and comfortable.
“Aga came and did a meet and greet a few days before we went out of town. She was on-time, kind, and communicative. She sent photos of all our animals when she came for a drop-in. Will definitely hire Aga again!”
“Claudia has been great w our new puppy (10 weeks old) sending photos!!! She lets herself in and out of the house no problem ... excited to keep using her as an on going dog walker !!!”
“Juyeon was great with our cats, and our shy cat opened up to her almost right away. We appreciate her communication regarding updates for the cats and coordinating timing of the visits. Overall, highly recommended!”
About: I have owned dog my whole life and trained dogs for about 5 years. I will always treat your pet as if they were my own. I get out of work between 10 am-12 pm Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. I am off Thursdays and Fridays. I am very flexible, reliable, and am willing to work with you to figure things out. I have an open door policy for all pets as long as they can get along with other animals. But I do have the space and room to keep your pet separated if needed.
“Ari was on-time and did a great job with Lou. The pictures indicated she was very happy with the visit, and we were happy to return to a clean litter box and healthy cat.”
“Ana is the absolute best!! She is truly phenomenal with our high energy, large dog. She is extremely loving with our pup and she treats him like her own. She is also reliable, trustworthy, and punctual. It’s great to know that our dog is in such capable and loving hands while we are away! I cannot recommend Ana highly enough.”
About: I absolutely love all animals! While I often sit for dogs and cats I love our small critters as well! I have a bunny that is fully house trained and uses a litter box! I love training animals and seeing just how intelligent they truly are! I have a special place in my heart for senior animals as I used to be a nursing assistant for geriatrics. I recently lost my old man dog last month so I definitely have a special place for senior animals as well as experience in administering insulin after meals as my brother chocolate lab is diabetic. I look forward to working with all kinds of animals and families! I am currently a server and a high end restaurant and have flexible hours. I really love this about both of my jobs because it gives me the ability that do both of the things I love most! I have a dog park and my complex backs up to cochituate state park. I am also happy to come to my clients home if that is desired! In that case I would follow any and all instructions left by my clients and of course maintain the upmost respect for both them and their homes.
About: We can provide a fun structured space for your dog. We both have experience with younger hyper dogs as well as the slower older dogs and we love walks just as much as they do. I drive a truck that is very used to having dogs in it and Daisy comes with us most everywhere if she has any say! Sasha is a 45lb rescue brindle hound mix that is very friendly and loves playing with other dogs. Daisy is the newest addition and just turned 1yr old in July! She's very friendly and loves making new friends. My fiancé and I both have experience dealing with a wide array of dogs. We have a large clean crate and large collapsible pen. We are very adaptable to most needs for our furry friends! We do work full time (9-5) but assuming they can wait the work day we will have a great time! Otherwise weekends are usually wide open for doggytime! We Do prefer to use crates for the dogs during the workday, but plenty of walks and playtime after 5pm and all weekend! We use our crate and large pen when needed but we also have a spare room and basement area for the dogs when we have multiple visitors. Daisy is friendly and doesn't mind sharing her space/toys etc.
About: We are a husband and wife team, raising our own Vizsla, Bella. Between the two of us, we are always looking after our own dog and it's easy for us to provide doggy day care or overnight care in our home. We welcome well trained, friendly dogs as well as puppies. We have flexible schedules and spend a lot of time exercising our own dog. Our dog requires a lot of exercise so we often run her in our fenced in yard as well as the park near our house. We never leave our dog alone for more than 3 hours at the most. We have a very dog friendly home, and pets are free to roam about, provided they're trained and won't be destructive to furniture. We like our dogs to feel comfortable always, so they are allowed on couches, etc and we have a lot of comfy areas for them to hang.

“Madeleine is absolutely amazing! I have a very shy but super sweet cat who is usually wary of strangers, but she loved Madeleine from her very first visit. I was so impressed! Madeleine sent me adorable pictures every day, was incredibly responsive, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I will 100% hire her again and feel so lucky to have found such a wonderful, trustworthy pet sitter. I highly recommend her!”
“Salina took excellent care of my kitty! She was very punctual and attentive for all drop in visits. She was respectful of our home, and always provided informative updates and cute pictures. Thank you Salina!”

Tingting took great care of my cat Nami for 5 nights, two visits per day. Even though Nami is shy, Tingting took the right approach to gain her trust and keep her happy and engaged. The daily photos and videos were a great touch. I came home to a happy, healthy cat and couldn't be more satisfied. Will definitely book with her again.
We were incredibly grateful to be able to book Tom--someone who clearly cares a lot about kitties--for a long weekend series of twice-daily visits with our elderly cat. Tom was very thorough in sending detailed updates on the visit and great photos from his time caring for Harlan. Thank you, Tom!
Livia did a great job visiting our cuddly cat while we were away for a few days! She did a wonderful job getting him out of his shell and giving him attention at each visit. Livia was on time, ensured a clean environment, and was really respectful of our property. I will definitely be booking again! :)
Charlene took care of our shy cat during our recent 12-day trip, and she was phenomenal. Our guy can take a while to warm up to new people, but Charlene was patient and consistent with him, and it really paid off - he’s now comfortable and even chatty with her. Beyond the basics like keeping his litter box clean, she paid close attention to his hydration and emphasized for us the importance of making sure he is getting enough water, which we really appreciate. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after, not just the routine tasks. We came home to a relaxed, happy cat and total peace of mind. Charlene is our go-to sitter, and we can’t recommend her enough!
Sally was wonderful. She kept the litter box clean and played with our friendly cat. She also was wonderful with our hostile cat, understanding of his anxiety and not afraid to tend to the house completely. She brought in our mail and made a key drop off and pick up plan on her own. We were so happy with 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.
