“Maria was absolutely wonderful! She dropped by to check on my cats, cleaned out their litter boxes, and spent plenty of time giving them love and pets. She was super friendly, followed all care instructions, and kept me updated. Fantastic communication and care. I would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!”
“K Zin is simply amazing! She was communicative, attentive, on time and she genuinely cared about our cat. We looked forward to reading the Rover cards and looking at the pictures she took every day. Will definitely book again!”
About: I've been around animals my entire life and have always been comfortable caring for them. I grew up with cats and have experience feeding, playing with, and caring for them throughout my life. I've also helped neighbors by checking in on their pets while they were away. Although I don't have professional pet care experience yet, I'm responsible, patient, and committed to following each pet owner's instructions to make sure their pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I'm excited to provide loving care for both cats and dogs. I am currently a university student and have a very flexible schedule, especially during the summer months when I am not taking classes. This allows me plenty of availability throughout the week for pet care services. I can plan my day around visits, walks, check-ins, and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening care depending on the client's needs. Although I don't have formal professional experience in pet care, I've cared for cats my whole life and understand their behavior, needs, and comfort. I also helped a neighbor by checking in on her cat whenever she was away. I'm responsible, attentive, and genuinely love being around animals
“Sofia was great. She asked good questions, followed instructions, and filled in some gaps that I didn't think to write down. The animals clearly loved her and barely seemed to notice that we'd been gone when we got back. Very trustworthy and kind to our pets.”
About: My family had cockapoo named Dobby growing up, and I’ve been dogsitting since moving away from home to get my dog fix! I’m looking to find more four legged friends in the area :) I was a local dogsitter in Austin for two years with regular families before moving to Denver. For my previous dog sitting positions, I’ll typically live and stay the night at the family’s home for weekends while they’re gone. I take their dog on walks and adventures to local hiking areas. At the end of the day the dog and I cuddle on the couch together! I’ll treat your dog like they’re a part of my family! I have a wide variety of experience with dogs of many different ages and breeds: puppies to senior dogs!
“Rene did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! Based on the pictures, our cat really adored him. He was also easy to communicate with and very thoughtful, going above and beyond to see after some small thing in our home while we were gone. Highly recommend!”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover and proud dog parent who would love to care for your pup! 🐾 🐶 Experienced dog parent: I raised my own dog from 8 weeks old, and he’s now my happy and healthy 8-year-old bestie. I’ve been there through every stage of his life and understand the patience, attention, and care dogs need at different ages. ❤️ Years of hands-on experience: I also helped raise my family dog, who sadly passed away at age 10, and I regularly care for dogs belonging to friends and family when they travel—including stays lasting several weeks. 🐾 Comfortable with all kinds of dogs: I’ve cared for dogs ranging from 10-lb pups to 80-lb dogs and am happy to adapt to different breeds, personalities, energy levels, and routines. 🍼 Puppy experience: Comfortable with puppies who need frequent potty breaks, playtime, supervision, patience, and lots of attention. 🐕 Senior dog experience: I’m also comfortable caring for older dogs who may need shorter walks, more frequent bathroom breaks, a slower pace, or simply some extra love and companionship. 🏡 Flexible schedule: I have a very flexible schedule and can provide plenty of walks, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. I’m able to spend quality time with your pup. 💕 I genuinely love dogs! I want your pup to feel safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, a drop-in visit, some company while you’re away, or care in the comfort of their own home, I’d be happy to help! 🐾 I have a flexible schedule and can give your pup plenty of attention throughout the day! I’m able to accommodate regular walks, drop-in visits, and multiple potty breaks depending on your dog’s needs and routine. My goal is to make their day feel as comfortable and consistent as possible while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’m happy to provide potty breaks, meals, fresh water, playtime, walks, and plenty of attention and affection. I can also follow any specific instructions you have for your dog’s routine. For dog walks, I’ll make sure your pup gets the exercise and enrichment that’s right for them. Whether they prefer a relaxed neighborhood stroll or a more active walk with a trip to the park, I’ll adjust the pace and length based on their age, energy level, and comfort.
About: I absolutely have the biggest soft spot for the pups! My girl is my world. I can promise you your pup will be in the best hands and spoiled while under my care :) My dog is home during the week with family members. Has full range of outdoors and lots of love! She gets full spoiled treatment 24/7! I have a big fenced in backyard . The dogs have free range of indoor and outdoor. My house has lots of cameras so I can ensure your pet will be safe and supervised.
About: Hi! I’d love the opportunity to care for your dog. I’m dependable, experienced with many different breeds and personalities, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with pets. I also have a strong reputation from past clients who appreciate my reliability and care. Whether it’s walks, sitting, or just giving your dog attention and comfort, I always treat every pet like my own. I have over 5 years of experience caring for pets and I just joined Rover to continue doing what I love most. I’d be happy to help and make sure your dog is safe, happy, and well cared for! I work a hybrid schedule. I work from home Monday and Tuesday, but need to be in the office from 9-5pm on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursdays. I groom dogs on the weekends as my side hustle, but have lots of flexibility to take care of dogs. I have a patio, balcony, and lots of great sniffing spots to explore in our neighborhood. The neighborhood is safe and very dog friendly . I have a loving home with plenty of space for your dog to roam around and feel comfortable.
About: I have had dogs my entire life and understand the love, attention, and care they deserve as members of the family. In addition to my personal experience, I previously worked at a dog boarding facility, where I gained hands-on experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I also volunteered at Pets Unlimited in San Francisco, where I helped care for animals and gained additional experience working with pets in a professional setting. I currently have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey, who is well-socialized and enjoys the company of other dogs. I have also successfully boarded dogs in my home with Whiskey and always prioritize safe introductions and a comfortable environment for everyone. My goal is to provide your pet with the same level of care, attention, and affection that I give my own dog, so you can feel confident they are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. I work full-time during the week, but I’m available on weekends and can provide attentive care throughout the day. Whether your dog enjoys relaxing at home, playing, or getting out for adventure, I’m happy to accommodate their needs. I love spending time outdoors and can take dogs on walks, hikes, and other fun activities to help them stay active and engaged. I also have a friendly Golden Retriever named Whiskey who loves meeting other dogs. If your pup enjoys canine companionship, Whiskey is a great playmate and helps create a welcoming, social environment. My goal is to make sure every dog feels safe, comfortable, and has a great time while in my care. I live in a townhouse community with plenty of grassy areas for potty breaks and several nearby walking trails for exercise and enrichment. Dogs in my care receive regular outdoor time, walks, and attention based on their individual energy levels and needs. My home provides a safe, comfortable environment where pets can relax, play, and feel at home while you’re away.
“Rachel is a fantastic cat sitter. She is very dependable which allowed me to enjoy 2 weeks of a worry free vacation. And she was willing to make an extra visit when needed. The fact that my reluctant cat warmed up to Rachel is saying something… I can’t say enough good things about Rachel other than that hiring her is doing yourself ( and your pet) a tremendous favor.”
About: I've had pets since I was a kid and have been around dogs and cats almost my entire life. I currently live with my partner and our two cats, Latte (13) and Miko (6). I recently lost Latte's sister, Mocha, this past May — she's dearly missed. Beyond my own home, my parents have three large dogs (Bobby, Luna, and Charcoal) and four cats (Mango, Gugu, Blu, and Eggy), and I help with their care whenever I'm home. This lifelong, hands-on experience means I'm comfortable giving medications to both dogs and cats, including for chronic conditions, and I've helped train our family dogs. Whether your pet needs a calm hand with meds, basic obedience reinforcement, or just an experienced sitter who's seen it all, I've got you covered. I was recently laid off so I have plenty of time to do some drop-in visits for your dog and cats. I'm available for drop-in visits and dog walking. My cats are strictly indoor-only. My routine starts each morning by cleaning their litter boxes, feeding them breakfast, and giving medication to the one who needs it. Since I used to work from home, I got into the habit of cleaning the litter box right after they use it, so it stays as clean as possible throughout the day. In the evening, they get dinner and their nighttime medication. When it comes to our family dogs at my parents' house, I take them on individual walks of about 20–30 minutes each, since they can get a bit rowdy together and do better one-on-one. I bring this same level of consistency and attentiveness into a client's home — sticking to their pet's existing routine, keeping litter boxes and feeding areas clean, and administering medications exactly as directed.
“Again, Perry did an amazing job walking my 2.5 year old American Eskimo. Ocean has a handful of special monitoring needs due to a chronic GI condition and his playful interest in exploring, if not trying to consume, anything. Perry is extremely conscienscious and is very alert to Ocean's behaviors. Perry is also wonderful at making sure my dog is properly back in his kennel area when he drops off and leaves. Ocean is also over the top happy and excited the moment he realizes Perry is coming to walk and play with him. Its been really wonderful and a relief to know I have Perry onboard to walk and care for my boy.”
About: Hello! My name is Andi, I own a German Shepherd/Husky mix with lots of energy! I have experience walking, bathing, feeding, and training pets. I also have experience in de escalating situations and assessing when a pet is over stimulated. I am comfortable with dogs & cats of all sizes and more than willing to care for pets with special needs. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! My schedule is currently very flexible. I have an SUV which can comfortably fit up to 3 dogs, making commute very easy. I prefer house sitting requests to be a few days in advance. I love spending time with animals and volunteering at shelters, I have taken care of many pets through the years. Not every animal is comfortable with strangers upon first meeting, which is absolutely something I have encountered and worked through. It is a joy to see pets come out of their shell as they become more comfortable around a new person. In addition to patience, I have experience in high stress situations and am a quick thinker due to this. I value strong communication and practice it daily.
About: I am an animal lover with two cats of my own. Currently, I work at a vet hospital and have experience with both cats and dogs. Additionally, I’m a pre-veterinary student so I’ll take any chance to hang out with animals as I can! I work at a vet hospital from Wed - Sat but I am free for bookings Sunday - Tues all day! Drop-ins before 11am could be made possible for Wed-Sat I do not offer pet care in my own home but I am able to do drop-ins or walks wherever the animal is located! I have my drivers license as well.

K Zin did a great job updating me on my cats while I was away. Jupie and Jasper seem to be comfortable and liked her when they met. This was a reassuring feeling leaving my cats to be in good care. Would definitely book again in the future whenever I need someone to look after my cats 😄
Lydia was a fantastic sitter! She gave me daily updates with multiple photos. I see my bunny Alistair was well taken care of and so were my plants! She even restocked my buns romaine lettuce when he ran out. It was very much appreciated! I would book with Lydia again when I need care for my bun!
Rachel is a fantastic cat sitter. She is very dependable which allowed me to enjoy 2 weeks of a worry free vacation. And she was willing to make an extra visit when needed. The fact that my reluctant cat warmed up to Rachel is saying something… I can’t say enough good things about Rachel other than that hiring her is doing yourself ( and your pet) a tremendous favor.
Maria was absolutely wonderful! She dropped by to check on my cats, cleaned out their litter boxes, and spent plenty of time giving them love and pets. She was super friendly, followed all care instructions, and kept me updated. Fantastic communication and care. I would love to hire her again and highly recommend her!
Rachel completed 2 drop in visits for us for EZ, our cat while we were out of town. She came over before the visits to meet EZ and get the lay of the land. Her communication was great and followed all of our instructions and needs. We really appreciated all of the pictures and thorough updates. We would definitely trust her to take care of our baby again!
Katrina is beyond amazing!!! She is so good to my fur babies and my chickens like her own babies. She updated me with pictures and staying longer beyond the required time to play with them. I feel so relieved and able to enjoy my time away without worry. I will definitely recommend her and will use her service again in the future. Thanks, Katrina!
Ben has been extremely communicative and flexible leading up to and through out our scheduled drop-in visits for my Labrador retriever. He asked great questions. He was reliable so that I trusted my dog in his care for multiple days in a row. I am very happy to have Ben as our dog 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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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.
