“Desiree completed multiple drop-in visits (2x daily) during a week-long vacation for my two senior cats. Mr. Twix is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day. Desiree was happy to stop over ahead of the trip to go over insulin and daily routines. I asked for photo updates and Desiree was happy to share! She graciously cleaned one poo mess and even helped reset the fuse box when the cat fountain stopped working. Twix and Butters were calm and happy when I arrived home. I felt comfortable on my trip knowing the kids were getting love in my absence!”

“I booked Kimberly for two drop in visits while we were away for a night. She took the time to meet our dog prior to booking day, very friendly. I appreciated the picture/video updates! Will book again!”

“Kathy did a great job looking in on our cat for a week. We had a very nice meet-and-greet, and while we were away she sent multiple photos and gave informative reports for each visit. I would not hesitate to book her again.”

About: I have had both cats and dogs for as long as I can remember! I have had both through all stages of their lives, puppy/kitten - senior. I also have experience with administering medications. I am a college student who misses my own pets, and I would love to help care for yours so they do not get lonely! I am currently a college student and I do not have another job at the moment. This semester I am in class from 12pm-3pm M/W/F, and 8am-1:30pm on T/Th. Outside of that, I am a student leader so I have meetings on Monday’s from 3:30-5pm and events on some Friday's. However, I make sure to find time on my lunch breaks and before and after class to make sure pups can get outside and get a little love in between the times I have to be away. At my home, I have a fenced in yard for my dog, who is generally very well behaved, but I do not leave him unattended for long. He loves to wrestle and be brushed, so we do that often. He gets food once daily, per vet recommendations. In the past when I have had cats, they loved to cuddle and were pretty lazy. I cleaned out their litter box’s every 1-2 days, and they were grazers so I kept their food and water full daily.
About: Hi everyone, My names Ellana! Im currently 20 years old and absolutely adore animals! I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 7 years old and currently have a frenchie of my own back in MN! Being away from home can be tough at times but spending time with animals is really an escape for me. I love all dogs from big to small, I do have a little bias for all breeds of bulldogs though, they are my fav! I am currently looking into going into canine physical therapy as a full time role for my future:) I’d love to help out as needed so please send me a message! I am a very active student so I love being able to give dogs the time outside that they need. That being said I am always willing to stay in for some cuddles. I have weekends off from all class and job requirements so I like to fill those times with some furry friends! I have my own room and plenty of space and capacity to take dogs on adventures via car or walk! I love spoiling pups when they are with me.
About: I’ve had either a family pet or a pet of my own for 10+ years now. I’ve pet sit for multiple friends, neighbors, and family. I’m comfortable walking, feeding, playing, bathing, administering medication, etc! I currently work from home 5 days a week so I have a very flexible schedule. I’m able to stop by anytime of day, any day of the week! Koda and I are huge walkers so adding your dog to the pack, would be a joy! Please let me know if you prefer your dog to be walked alone and I can leave Koda at home. Having a dog myself, I understand how hard it is to leave your baby with a stranger. I am a double or triple checker when it comes to my dogs health and well being. I will care for your dog as if he/she was my own. Please leave detailed instructions if there is something specific needed and I will follow those.
About: I treat every pet like family—because they are. Reliable, detail-oriented, and full of love, I tailor care to your pet’s unique needs, from energetic play to gentle walks and extra snuggles. You’ll always get clear updates and a happy, cared-for best friend when you return. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I work with a flexible schedule that allows me to plan walks, drop-ins, and cuddle sessions around your pet’s needs—morning, midday, or evening. You can count on me to be consistent and reliable, so your pets get care right when they expect it. Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. In my home or yours, I create a calm, secure environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. I follow your pet’s normal routines to reduce stress, keep a close eye on their behavior, and make sure they’re never left in unsafe situations. I use secure leashes and harnesses for walks, double-check gates and doors, and ensure fresh water and clean spaces at all times. You can trust that I’ll treat your home with the same care and respect I give my own—and treat your pets like family.
About: I have owned and cared for many dogs all throughout my life. From smaller dogs to Great Danes and even helping birth, care for, and train multiple litters of puppies. I have helped my family in training hunting dogs. I have also trained my own dog with good manners, basic commands, and some fun tricks. I prioritize good behavior while being outside and exercising. I have a soft spot for older dogs. I have had many dogs live up to 15 years old. I have learned gentleness with them and maintaining their needs. I am home/available most of the day. I am often up early in the morning and I come home for the day before lunch time. I try to spend a lot of time outside and being active. I am a part time CNA. I mainly work a couple evenings during the week and occasional weekends. I have a good sized yard with a pond for bathroom and play. My yard does not have a fence but my dog enjoys being outside on a long leash and roaming around our yard. My dog has a very large crate fit for 2 dogs and I also have another separate (1 dog) crate.
About: I have grown up with a dog and cats. I am very familiar with how to successfully care for pets because I don’t remember my life without pets. Growing up, I had both a dog and cats that I helped take care of. I was involved in feeding them, bathing them, and making sure they felt loved and cared for. I also spent a lot of time walking my dog, which I really enjoyed. take care of pets by making sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting lots of attention. I meet their basic needs like feeding, walks, and playtime, while also adjusting to their unique personality. My goal is to make every pet feel happy and loved, just like they would with their owner.
About: As a lifelong dog lover, I've shared my home with furry companions for over twenty years. Growing up with rescue dogs taught me patience and how every dog has their own story, while my current yellow lab keeps me active and reminds me daily of the joy that comes from a dog's unconditional love. I understand how much pets mean to their families and the importance of maintaining their comfort when you're away. From energetic pups who need lots of exercise to gentle seniors who prefer quiet companionship, I approach each dog with genuine affection and the same care I give my own. You can trust that your beloved companion will be treated like family. I'm available to pet sit from Friday through Monday and would love to help care for your pet during this time. I work from home on both Fridays and Mondays, so I'll be around throughout those days to provide plenty of attention, companionship, and care. This means your pet won't be left alone for extended periods on those days. Over the weekend (Saturday and Sunday), I'm also fully available to maintain their regular routine, take them for walks, provide meals on schedule, and give them all the love and attention they need. I’m also available Tuesdays - Thursday before 8am & after 4:30pm I'd be happy to discuss your pet's specific needs, routine, and any special care instructions. Please let me know if you'd like to set up a time to meet beforehand so your pet can get comfortable with me. I’ll visit the house at scheduled times to let the dog outside for bathroom breaks and provide meals according to the feeding schedule. If the dog needs exercise beyond the yard time, I’ll take them for a walk around the neighborhood. Each visit lasting 30 minutes, focusing on the dog's immediate needs - relieving themselves, eating, and getting a bit of attention. I’ll secure the house when leaving and may send an update about how the dog is doing
“Kiaira is an angel and a Godsend!! I don’t know what we would’ve done without her. Our dogs loved her. I will be booking her every time I need someone and she is available. Kiaira and her fiancé are truly a gift! We’re so grateful for them!”

“Natalie is absolutely incredible with my girls! I have one puppy and one senior dog, so they come with a lot of quirks! She is quick to respond and connects with me about any questions or concerns. I cannot recommended her enough! We are so lucky to have found you 💕”

“Rose was so kind. I’d forgotten to set up the door code for her and after failed attempts to reach me she went back later in the day once we connected. Thanks for going the extra mile.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Cologne stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
