“Susan did a fantastic job caring for my 2 kitties! They got lots of attention and were super comfortable with her. She went above and beyond , cleaning their water fountain and the water they drink from on the deck as well. I would definitely recommend her!! 👏👏👏”
“She is amazing with my dog! She went above and beyond and took such great care of my old man! I came home from my trip early and he didn't want her to leave. He wanted to go with her! I received tons of pictures and let me know how he was doing and made me feel so much better about him being at home while I was away. She will definitely be watching him every time I'm out of town”
“Alexandria was very good with my pups, she made sure to ask questions to learn a little more about my pups situation, and gave a feeling like she treats your dogs like her own!”
“My pup, Maxwell, is still running to the front door looking for Susie when he hears a rattle. I think he made a new best friend in her. She showed up on time, gave me an update including pictures every visit, and kept his routines the same as if we were home. I highly recommend Susan and will use her every time she is available.”
“I booked Anna for drop in visits for my 2 cats and she was fantastic! She came to meet in person before the booking and was very patient with getting the cats to warm up to her. She also brought in my trash can and cleaned up a mess on my carpet which was unnecessary but so appreciated. She even got really sick the last day and she sent her partner to do the drop in even after I told her to not worry about coming at all! So nice and will definitely be rebooking the next time I go out of town.”
“Absolutely love having Samantha take care of our kitties while we are on vacation. It’s nice not having to worry about them and knowing that they are being spoiled makes it easier being away.”
“Roxanna was very helpful with my pups, she made sure to communicate, ask question, and provide feedback on how scout did during the visit. You will be in good hands, as she has a feeling of treating your pets like her own!”
About: I've had 3 golden retrievers while I was growing up and helped taking care of them everyday. Our one golden had puppies and I helped out a lot with them. Now, me and my husband love to watch and care for other dogs in our free time! I work a 9-5 during the week but I am not usually very busy on weekends and would love to meet and take care of some new pups! My husband can usually take breaks from his work during the day to do a drop in or walk if needed! I love to go on walks with dogs and make sure they are well exercised everyday. I will make sure to keep your pet on the correct feeding/potty schedule.
About: I have years of experience caring for both dogs and cats, including feeding, walking, playtime, basic cleaning, and making sure pets feel safe and comfortable. I have grown up around animals and understand how important it is to be patient, gentle, and reliable. I enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and following the owner’s instructions closely so their routine stays consistent. Pet care fits well into my weekly routine, and I’m looking to help with walks, drop-ins, and pet care when I’m available. I’m dependable, communicate clearly, and will always do my best to keep pet parents updated. My availability may vary by day, but I will only accept bookings that I know I can fully commit to. I always put safety first by following the pet parent’s instructions, keeping dogs secure on walks, watching doors and gates carefully, and paying attention to each pet’s behavior. I will make sure pets have fresh water, food if needed, and a clean, comfortable space. I understand that every pet is different, so I will be patient and respectful of their routine, comfort level, and needs.
“We recently had Victoria take care of our dog, Ramona, for a few days, and we couldn’t be happier with her service. She was wonderful and always attentive and caring. We loved how she sent us pictures every day, which really put our minds at ease since we don’t like being away from Ramona. Ramona looked happy and comfortable in every update and had lots of fun. It’s clear that Victoria truly loves animals and treats them like her own. We highly recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable and loving dog sitter!”
“They did an amazing job with Bonney and were extremely thorough in keeping me updated. I’m already trying to book with them again! Would 100% recommend them to anyone and everyone.”
“Very helpful and professional! Reasonable prices and great work with our pups. She even brought a package in off our porch! I would definitely recommend her and will book with her again.”
“Kaysee watched our two English bulldogs during our wedding and was there for three separate drop ins. The boys were well cared for and we will definitely use her again!”
About: We have had dogs and cats our entire lives and helped with many friends and family pets when needed. We love walks and have a large fenced in backyard. Your furry friend is sure to be comfortable and loved on in our home. I am a stay at home mom and homeschool two of my children who LOVE animals! We have a flexible schedule and can sit in our home weekends and weekdays or come to yours for a walk or feeding. We have a large fenced in yard which is great for dogs! We have 3 cats in our home which has a basement and second story so plenty of space to spread out.
“This was my first experience using Rover, and Emily was the best! She was very communicative, send updates and pictures, and helped ease any fear or anxiety surrounding leaving my little kitties alone. 10000/10 stars for Emily!!”
About: I have had a major role in caring for and training pets since I was 11 years old. I have experience with potty training, and in the training of both obedience and basic tricks for dogs from puppy to adult. On the other end of the spectrum I have some experience in taking care of senior and pets with medical conditions. My current kitty has hyperthyroidism at almost 20 years old which requires daily medication and care. I currently only work part time, so I have plenty of time in my afternoons and evenings for providing pet care and services! I am typically off work by 2pm on weekdays which leaves my afternoon and evening open for care. As far as the weekend goes I am open all day Saturday and afternoons/evenings on Sundays. I am both cat and dog first aid certified, which includes basic wound care, administrating proper CPR, and knowing the signs of illness or injury in pets. I have a first aid kit with basic wound care necessities that I keep with me during visits. upon taking new clients I ensure I get at least 1 emergency contact's information, a list of allergies or medical information, the location of the nearest emergency vet, and any specific needs of the pet. I will always move at a pace comfortable for your pet when meeting for the first time, and will never rush or make them uncomfortable.
About: 20 years of experience as a personal trainer and mom has made me patient, attentive, and physically active. I’m skilled at handling different energy levels and treat every doggie with the same care I give my own. I am currently working part time training clients based on one hour sessions. I have flexibility and make my own schedule. So I’ll have many available options throughout the day. I am available for walks and to come let your fur baby out to play and or go for a walk or if they just need some tummy scratches
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs since I was 10. I’ve worked in dog boarding for 4 years and I love dogs and caring for them. When I worked in dog boarding I was in charge of feeding, walking, playing, bathing, and much more! I have experience working will young and old dogs, I have no problem giving medicine to pets either! Currently my schedule is very flexible. I’m looking to find a part time job and in the mean time, but will continue using Rover to care for pets. I have one dog, a cat, and a lizard that I care for at home. I am willing to go to others house to care for their pets! I walk my dog daily and clean up after my pets, feed them on time.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Craig
Amanda was very sweet with Phoenix and updated me every visit how it was going. She provided lots of play and checked on her food and water for me. I asked her to come back before the end of the visit as she kind and caring and all we could hope for in a sitter.
Stacy took car of my 3 large dogs while I traveled for a day. She took them to the dog park, walked them, and sat with them and loved on them outside during the day. They had a great day even though “mom” was off having her own fun. Good communication and pictures. Would definitely have her watch them again :)
Angelica was super communicative and offered a meet and greet prior to my last minute request (one of three I reached out to and the only I heard back from). She let me know her availability so I could adjust my needs around her schedule, which was not outside of my request and much appreciated. She took pictures and sent during the visit as well as after and made sure everything I needed was handled before her departure each day. Would have her back again for my only child I mean kitten.

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.
