“Jennifer was amazing! She spared no efforts to go check on our kitties even with snow and ice on the roads. She was super diligent with posting photos and logging info. I would definitely recommend her!”
“It’s my 3rd time using Caitlin. She is the best!! Communication..pictures…videos are fantastic and puts you at ease that your furbaby is just fine. I can’t give enough stars. Highly recommended!!”
“Mary does a fantastic job every time she watches our cats. One of our crew, Sylvie, is a former feral who hides when strangers come over - even my parents don’t see more than the occasional glimpse of this cat. Over the course of several times sitting for us, Mary has worked to make Sylvie comfortable while giving her lots of space. On our most recent time away, Sylvie let Mary pet her 🥹 Mary takes care of our pets like they’re her own and we are so grateful for her.”
“Helen was a God send. She was so loving, caring and interactive with our dog. She went above and beyond to make sure not only was our dog taken care of but also our house. This was my first time leaving my dog with a person other than a family member or friend of the family since moving from NY to NC. I will definitely use Helen again I highly recommend her. Helen made me feel comfortable from start to finish and that my dog was in good hands. Thank you Helen.”
About: Your pet deserves more than a quick potty break. They deserve loving care that makes their day brighter! I have 20+ years of experience in pet sitting, animal rescue, and dog ownership. I’ve cared for pets of all ages and needs, from puppies and kittens to seniors, including ones with medical conditions. When I visit your pet, they’ll be treated like one of my own. I’ll tailor each visit to their needs and what makes them happy, whether that means adjusting the pace of their walk, playing their favorite game, or comforting them during a storm. Ear scratches and belly rubs are always included! After every visit, you’ll get a detailed update and pictures so you can see the little moments that made their day extra special. 💕 I specialize in weekday drop-in visits and walks, typically between 9am-3pm. You’ll receive detailed updates and photos, so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and safe. 💕 I carefully follow instructions, pay close attention to your pet’s needs, and tailor visits accordingly. My top priority is to keep your pet safe, healthy, and happy.
“Nancy was extremely accommodating & a pleasure to deal with. We had lots of questions and she graciously answered every one of them without delay. Thank you Nancy for going above & beyond for us.”
“Joseph and Christine were wonderful. We have two small, rather standoffish dogs and they were able to win them over within just a few visits. It was so comforting to know that they were in great hands while we were away. They arrived for all of their visits exactly when they said they would and they sent lots of pics and updates - their communication was excellent. I would definitely recommend them!”
“Thankfully we found Michaela. Dependable and caring about our needs. Our boy is shy and she followed his lead to make him comfortable. We will be rebooking with her for sure.”
About: I have had both dogs and cats growing up so I know how to care for both. I currently have 2 cats and 1 German Shepard. I work hybrid so I have a good amount of flexibility and ability to take dogs out walking or stop in to play and/or give medication. If you have any questions about my experience please reach out! I am on a hybrid schedule in sales so I am able to take breaks from work whenever I need to in order to take care of fur babies I am able to travel anywhere in the area and spend good chunks of time with the pet(s) each time. I love playing with animals with toys or give lots of pets and cuddles. I take tons of photos and share any/all updates with you!
About: I have cared for and loved pets of all kinds all of my life. Cats, dogs, goats, rabbits, lizards and a bird. I am responsible and respectful. With age comes dependability and maturity. Plus, animals love me. I'm retired so everyday is a Saturday. I travel in a converted Sprinter van, but only a few times a year. I'm available unless already booked. I'll be happy to take care of your dog in your home and walk them in/around your neighborhood. Do they like dog parks? That can be arranged, too.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cornelius
Yet again, Renee made our trip a success by being such a caring, reliable pet sitter. She had to deal with a potential ear infection with one cat, workman doing a repair on the home, and the travellers needing help with paperwork. And is amazing and calming every single time!
Lily took great care of my dog! She arrived on time, communicated well throughout the visit, and was very flexible and accommodating when I made a mistake with my booking. I really appreciated her understanding and felt comfortable knowing my dog was in good hands. Overall, I was very happy with the experience and would definitely book with her again!
A great experience! My dog has limited vision and required several different medications including insulin injections with meals so I was a little nervous about using a dog sitter. Joe and Christine took care of all of it beautifully with daily visits to my home as well as some play and walk time. What peace of mind I now have knowing I can leave my precious dog’s care to them! I will definitely use them again!

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.
