“Brooke took excellent care of our cats and house while we were gone. This was our first time using Rover after our regular cat sitter backed at the last minute. I was really nervous leaving them with a new person, but Brooke did a fantastic job, and our cats were so well cared for we would definitely hire her again.”
“We are so happy with Lorie's help! When we were gone our plans had changed the last minute and we we were in a pinch finding someone. Lorie has agreed to help us right away, and she did a wonderful job taking care of our pets. She had to learn what to do over the phone and did exactly what we had asked her. We have a turtle who needs to be fed in a separate water tank, and he tends to bite when someone sticks their hands in his water. However, that didn't seem to scare Lorie, and she took on the job very bravely. We were very pleased to return to a clean house and happy pets. We highly recommend Lorie to anyone who is looking for a trusted and caring pet sitter.”
“Alfonso is conscientious, caring, and very attentive to our dogs. We trust him completely - whether it’s dog walks, in home visits, feedings, training - you name it, he’s THE BEST. He also takes the most amazing pics of our pups - he could be a pro photographer on the side 😃! And bonus - our dogs absolutely adore him! If you want peace of mind with someone who genuinely cares for dogs, Alfonso is your guy! We’ve been using Alfonso for years and couldn’t be happier that we found him on Rover. If we could give him 10 stars, we would!!”
“Gypsie and Robby were great! My cat needed checked on once a day while I was on vacation. They were always on time, spent quality time with my kitty and sent multiple pictures!”
“I was really nervous to leave Lulu for the first time but callaway did an amazing job, kept me updated and sent pics and Lulu seemed to enjoy her time!”
About: I bring a lifetime of experience in caring for animals and live on 10 acres of wooded pastures with 3 horses, dogs, cats, and a house rabbit. My personal pack of four rescue dogs get along well with any new dog I introduce to the family. I have been fostering dogs for a local rescue organization for several years, gaining hands-on experience with many breeds and ages of dogs. I specialize in puppy care and training and have successfully provided basic training and care for numerous foster dogs. I have experience caring for elderly dogs and am skilled in giving medication and insulin. This is an all inclusive experience for dogs! Here your dog will enjoy plenty of supervised outdoor playtime in my private dog park which offers a peaceful setting away from any traffic noise. This is true farm privacy with a ten acre buffer and plenty of natural enrichment including a natural creek, pond, and wooded pastures. Dogs will have opportunities to participate in activities like sniff walks, barn exploring, and pack walks. For puppies I keep them on a schedule for potty training, socializing, and naps. Additionally, I have a dedicated small dog area and small dogs get to enjoy couch time in the evenings! All activities are included for the boarding price. If you desire an exit bath before your dog goes home please let me know. 🐾 I enjoy working on agility training with one of my dogs who is very athletic and to expand my training knowledge, I continue to work with local dog trainers. Beyond my work with animals, I raised two children and dedicated 18 years to volunteering in our local school district, where I passed multiple background checks and supported various programs and events in schools and classrooms. My property is quiet and away from any traffic yet located just a mile from a major highway making it easy to get to for drop off and pick up! I am home everyday and spend most of my time with the animals in my care. I am happy to be flexible on timing for drop off or pick up windows and can pop in for drop in visits to give you a helping hand. In my home pets will be fed twice a day and have off leash time to relax or play with friends. If they are crate trained they will have their own crate to retreat to and dog beds to rest on. My dogs enjoy meeting new friends and provide a comforting pack to show new dogs the ropes. Outside, I always work on name recall with new dogs on leash and when they get to know me they will have supervised off leash time. Additionally, your dog may enjoy a walk to our horse barn and discover a world of sensory enrichment for their nose! In your home I can play with and feed your kitty or your pups and provide any care they need and can feed on the schedule that you request.
About: Loving sitter with tons of pet experience, from chickens to cows, and everything in between. I’m able to board your dog as a family member in my home. Must be good with other dogs and cats. My two teenagers are here to ensure lots of snuggles and walks- and the occasional treat. As someone who has worked in rescue a long time, I cannot accept unaltered pets. Work from home with two teenagers here to help as needed so someone is always here. I have 5 cats of my own and a small dog. We are able to create a loving, family atmosphere for your fur baby. We have a big yard but make sure to always go out with the fur babies in a leash. We frequently walk the neighborhood with our dog and are aware of the natural environment we live in. We’d love to board your dog while you enjoy time away.
“Gary took care of my dog Artemis for dropping in care for seven days. He was on time followed instructions I left for him exactly and even sent me adorable pictures of my dog every day. Gary made me feel completely at ease, leaving my dog. He’s very personable and kind person who truly loves animals.”

About: I've cared for several senior dogs with medical issues, such as seizures, and assisted in the recovery of a torn CCL. I also have 20+ years administering medicine that were prescribed by vets. One of my all time special skills would be the advanced training in the art of cuddling and snuggling. I am self employed which allows me great flexibility for taking care of your fur babies. I'm available week days and weekends with advanced notice. I have a medium sized crate if need be depending on individual fur baby needs. Whenever dropping in on a pet I'm very respectful of their property and follow instructions well. Whether it's my home or yours I take great care in providing comfort to your fur baby and make sure to give all the love they deserve as if they were my own.
About: I’ve loved and cared for dogs my whole life, growing up with Bernese Mountain Dogs, and now with two rescues! I've worked in an animal shelter with dogs of many sizes, breeds, and temperaments, so I'm skilled at socializing, walking, and playing with dogs with all kinds of personalities. I've also cared for a reactive dog of my own, which has taught me even more about canine body language and how to respond safely. With experience ranging from puppies to seniors, including medical and special needs care, I give every dog the patience, and love they deserve, as if they were my own! I currently have a hybrid position, and hoping to care for animals with my extra time! Due to remote work, my schedule is quite flexible and I'm available for boarding or check ins most days. When I’m caring for pets in your home, my goal is to make things feel as normal and comfortable for them as possible. I stick to your usual routines so they feel safe and loved while you’re away. I’m attentive to their moods and body language, and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing they’re happy and cared for. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect I’d want for my own, leaving it just as you left it. Happy to align with your needs!
About: I absolutely adore animals, especially dogs and cats. I began pet sitting when I was around 17 years old. My love grew as I got older and more established in my care. My experience ranges from kittens and puppies to seniors. Despite the age I've worked with, I've worked with many temperaments. Shy, energetic, anxious, you name it! I'll always be sure to provide the right attention to your pet. I will also provide playtime, affection, and keep their water bowls full. Rest assured that your pet will be in the right hands. I am a part-time student and employee. Despite that, I will work around my schedule to deliver your pet the best care they can have. My availability is open Monday, Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday. Morning through night. I can provide morning walks and feedings, mid-day drop ins around lunchtime, and nightly checks as well. I know how stressful it can be putting your pet into the hands of someone else, so I'm always okay with meeting first to put any stressors you may have to rest. I will send consistent messages, photos, and location updates to you regarding your pet and their safety. I understand maintaining cleanliness and building routines, and I will cater to your pet's needs, whether that be a simple drop-in, dog walk, or house sitting.
About: I’ve had experience with taking care of and training my families dogs. I’ve mostly worked with younger dogs. I can walk fairly large dogs as well, my families dogs are a golden lab and pit mix. I’m currently working part-time and I am a full time college student so my schedule is a little hectic. However, I always have time to squeeze in for pets. I am able to take dogs to parks and trails to get them more excitement in their walks. I am also able to spend a lot of time with the dogs during drop in visits as well.
“Nicole was awesome while we were away for the holidays. She sent me pictures of my kitty everyday, letting me know he was okay and well cared for. She also gave him lots of love and played with him daily. Nicole even brought packages (not in her job description) into the apartment for us. Thank you Nicole!”
“Aina was so responsive when dropping in to care for my corgi. It was nice to receive pictures to ease my anxieties about leaving my dog at home while I was away since it was the first time I’ve hired a dog sitter. My dog seemed to be very comfortable and taken care of when I returned home.”
“Jacob took wonderful care of Gino! He had a lot of patience with the sweet and scared guy. Jacob was an excellent communicator and reliable. We truly appreciate all your care and help. We had peace of mind knowing he was well looked after. We are very appreciative!”
“Jeany was so great! My cat seemed to love her! She took a good amount of photos, cleaned up any messes, and had plenty of cuddle time with our gal. Next time we are away she will be my go to, if she is available that is. Thank you for giving us peace of mind Jeany.”

I cannot recommend Brooke enough! With my husband going out of town I needed someone to take our girl out for a midday walk and feeding. Our dog got sick the last day Brooke came and she went the extra mile and cleaned up her sick mess. I could not be more grateful for her love to my dog! She was so helpful, kind, and understanding. Thank you Brooke!!!
We recently went on vacation and had Stephanie take care of our pets. It was our first time working with Stephanie, and we felt so happy that we chose her. She is very nice, responsible, and easy to communicate with. We received daily updates about the pets, and she provided the extra help we asked for during our booking. We look forward to our next vacation as we can trust Stephanie to care for our pets.
Ethan was fantastic for our dogs first day care! At the meet-and-greet he took time to get to know both dogs on a short stroll around the neighborhood and paid careful attention to the instructions. After the first visit Ethan sent a photo of both dogs in the backyard - happy and ready to play. Really appreciate the punctuality and care he put into the details.
Lorie is fabulous and our pets love her! She is extra communicative and truly cares for the pets she’s sitting. She went above and beyond cleaning bowls, vacuuming, and picking up after the pets—truly a dream to come home to after a vacation. We typically board our deaf dog, but are so glad we didn’t. Biscuit got the extra love, care, and attention she deserved while we were away. We highly recommend Lorie!
Amy took care of my 20 year old cat for 9 days and was wonderful! Amy loves animals and it shows in her caring nature and attention to details. Annie needs medication twice a day and lots of love and Amy provided this and more. She kept me up to date with pictures and texts and even a video with a speaking part for Annie. Annie looked great and no signs of stress when we returned. I will use Amy for any future travel plans as she is the best!

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.
