“Gemma took great care of Kitty, our cat while we travelled. She faces us detailed reports of her well-being and was dutiful in her arrival times and checking in. Would definitely recommend her.”
“She is amazing! She did everything and even more of what I asked her, my pets love her they are always exited when they see her and she is an amazing person! Thank you!!”
“Mae was amazing with my dog! She really went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable about leaving our puppy with her. She made sure to send lots of pictures everyday and even walked him without us asking. She is amazing and I will most definitely be asking her to watch my puppy again!”
“Liana took great care of our kitties and consistently communicated with us whenever she visited. She sent us pictures and informed us on whether they were eating and she bonded with them in a short time. We are very grateful for Liana's work and will definitely request her again the next time we travel.”
“Juliann really helped me out. I contacted her the one day before I needed a sitter to give my diabetic cat his evening meal and insulin shot. She was very accommodating and helpful. I felt relieved to know my cat was in the hands of someone experienced in injection medications. She even checked the medication before administering it to him.”
About: I’ve taken care of many animals for years! I’ve done short term and long term jobs with younger and older animals. I’ve also learned to administer certain medications when needed. I’m a full time student but I have a flexible schedule outside of class. I have multiple days a week that I am able to drop in multiple times a day! Safety and trust are my upmost priority while caring for your fluffy friends. I will devote my attention and responsibility to your pets. While I am caring for pets in the client’s home I provide a clean, welcoming and comfortable environment for your pets.
“London was absolutely amazing! She made sure our dogs were happy and safe while we were gone and provided several updates. She even helped clam the pool and brought in our mail! We will def. be using her again in the future! 💛”
“super up to date about all changes with pets and also very fast to reply, she also was amazingly flexible about changing around my schedule and unexpected switches in my booking. thanks!”
About: I have loved dogs since I was old enough to learn what they are. I have been around dogs since I was a kid. I helped my parents raise a puppy for my grandmother when I was younger. During COVID I spent my time raising my family dog. During my adult life I have volunteered at the Aggieland Humane Society and enjoyed my time there. I love meeting new dogs, taking care of animals and helping people with their pets. For this summer I am only focusing on my online college courses, so I have an empty schedule that I am hoping to fill with meeting dogs. I approach dogs gently, and let them set the tone for our meeting. If the dog does not want me to pet them, I will only do what I need to so that I can take them on a walk. If a dog is energetic, I will play with them in the backyard or a large area. I also am good at following directions and will enjoy completing the directions the owner has left.
“We were very thankful to have been able to book Amelia fairly last minute. She handled our dog’s full body welcomes when she got into the house like a champ and provided an excellent rover card when her visit was over!”
About: Hi! My name is Addison and I am currently a student at Texas A&M University. I have been around animals my whole life and have been pet sitting for roughly 6 years. I provide drop-in visits and dog walking based on your needs. I am very comfortable with any size dogs and adore cats. My goal is to make you and your furbabies comfortable while you are away, and I will love them as my own! I recently joined Rover as I am missing my own animals at home and it is a great way to help support myself through school. I have been an animal lover my whole life and have a dog and two cats back home that are my everything. I have been pet sitting for family friends and people in my community for many years and have experience with administering medication and special needs dogs. I am more than happy to send updates and photos of your fur babies and can't wait to get started! I’m currently a student full time but I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking after classes, in between classes, and on weekends! I am comfortable with all sizes of animals, as well as special needs or medication administration. I will send updates and have open communication while your fur baby is in my care.
“I had such a great experience working with Gino! From the start, he was incredibly accommodating and flexible with my schedule, which made the whole process stress free. He kept me updated with messages and photos, and it was clear my dog was well cared for and happy the entire time. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but he truly went above and beyond. I came home to a relaxed, well-cared-for pup, and I couldn’t be more grateful. Highly recommend to anyone looking for reliable and attentive care!”
“I contacted Joy on short notice and she was happy to come care for my sweet girl! I'm always a little nervous having new people care for my kitty, but she got everything right on and communicated with me really clearly. I couldn't have asked for better and I'm so grateful! Thank you!”
“Elizabeth was very communicative and took care of our dog (and cats) very well! We can back to a clean house and happy pets! She even left some treats behind for them! A perfect petsitter!”
About: I’ve always loved animals. I’ve had pets since I was ten. I started my pet journey with two parakeets and a beautiful Burmese cat named Isabel. Eventually, we got a dog named Lucy. After graduating from university I adopted my two cats, Dionysus and Bacchus. I pet sit for my friends often and treat their pets with the same love and attention I would my own. ⚠️ Please Read! Rover doesn’t allow me to specify availability by day/hour so I had to add a general schedule to my calendar and add the details here. I am available all day on the weekends, from 12 PM - 1 PM Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays, and after 6 PM Tuesday through Friday. Broader availability during holidays as I am off work, then. In a pinch I can usually also squeeze in visits or walks before 7:30 AM on all days of the week if needed! I follow care instructions strictly and, given the opportunity, observe your pet’s habits to recognize abnormal behaviors that may need urgent attention. I do my best to listen to and interpret your pet’s needs whenever and however they choose to communicate with me.

Christina makes me feel so comfortable leaving my babies! I always am so so paranoid that they’ll run out the door, but she does a headcount before she leaves to make sure they’re both inside, and checks the hallway after she’s closed the door to make sure they didn’t slip out! She takes great care of them :)
Lailah did such a wonderful job taking care of my two senior dogs. They had several potty issues and she still cared for them and cleaned up messes, being mindful of my home as well as my pups. She communicated with me the whole time to keep me updated, and used sound judgment to make decisions when I wasn’t able to be responsive to messages right away. For a difficult pet sitting experience, she went above and beyond to ensure me and my pups were still taken care of!! Hands down probably one of the best Rover sitters I’ve used!
Absolutely — here’s a polished but warm version: Emilie is absolutely wonderful! She is so helpful, communicative, and reliable, and she is always incredibly sweet and caring with my cat. I always feel comfortable knowing he’s in her care. I will definitely continue to recommend Emilie and will always book with her!
Mia took great care of my cat Felicity! She was super responsive and punctual and sent updates on Felicity along with pictures of her food, water, and clean litter box immediately after every visit. I would definitely book with her again next time I need a cat sitter and would highly recommend her to others looking for a sitter!

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.

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.
