“Isabel did an excellent job with my German shepherds. My dogs felt comfortable around her, she was very attentive and communicative throughout each drop in visit. Would highly recommend her!”
“Kaylee was great!! She took amazing care of my 2 cats while I was away for 2 weeks, getting them plenty of play time and sending pictures of them every morning with little write ups of their moods and activities. She also went above and beyond when obstacles arose with their food supply and my changed schedule. It was a huge relief knowing my cats were being well cared for by someone that clearly loves animals. She’ll be their go-to sitter from now on”
“Natalie is fantastic! Very communicative and I could tell from the questions she asked that she was going to provide great care to my cats on her drop-in visit. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely rebook!”
“Adriana was fantastic! We have two dogs, and one is still working through some fear of new people from her time before us. We had a long time sitter that recently moved away and we're very nervous about introducing someone new. Adriana took the time to come meet us and our dogs prior to the requested service and was very patient with both of our dogs. She spent the entire visit outside playing ball and letting our dogs run even on a cold, rainy day. We will be booking with her again!”

“Abigail is wonderful! She takes excellent care of pets and is detailed, communicative and awesome to work with. Highly recommend to anyone who wants their pets in the best of hands.”
About: I never had a dog of my own growing up, but I always had a blast watching animals for my family and friends! Taking dogs on walks and simply playing with them is so much fun. I love to be able to bond with pets and really get to know them. I’m not a professional dog trainer, however I’ve attempted to crate train and teach other simple tricks to dogs and was successful. I have experience with senior dogs as well as high energy puppies. I am able to adapt to any dogs personality to ensure they have a great time while their owner is away! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I am currently available full time, Monday-Sunday. I make sure to set aside time for walks, feeding, and playtime with the pets I care for. I also ensure they have regular check-ins and any necessary medication or grooming is done on time. I prioritize their needs around my other commitments, and I’m always flexible to adjust my schedule to accommodate their care. I am not currently able to have pets in my home, however I can travel to your home if dog sitting or an overnight stay is needed!
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats. We do tend to spoil them. I have lots of room for them to run and play in our fenced in yard. We walk them on a leash through our nearby cemetery. I currently work part time with Amazon flex. I will always be available if I have any pet jobs as Amazon flex is very flexible. I’m available for home and pet sitting. I have a fenced in back yard and currently own 1 miniature Daschund female 2 years old to help keep your furry friends playing or if needed I can use a crate with permission only.
About: I have been dog sitting since I was in high school and just loving being around dogs because of their unconditional love. I love all dogs and the energy of puppies! I grew up with 2 chocolate labs and a weiner dog. I currently do not live with any pets and miss being around dogs! I am able to check in on your pup anytime as my schedule is completely open! Let me know how I can help you and your pup! I can follow any directions given. I understand signs of pups needing to go outside and potty. I love playing with pups and also relaxing with them.
About: I've been taking care of pets for about 6 years now, including my own dogs, cat, and horses! I have experience working at a horse stable for several years and farm-sitting, so I'm used to being very hands-on and involved when caring for animals. I'm currently taking classes online, so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I'm looking forward to some study breaks together with a new doggy friend! I supervise pets carefully and stay attentive to their needs, whether they're at home or visiting somewhere new. At my home, I have two dogs ready to make a new friend, lawns and a field perfect for leashed walks, and a cottage separate from the main house (and my dogs) for some quiet time.
About: People that know me best would tell you I'm the person at a party who's hanging with the family dog. I've had dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have two fur babies (Nala and Kovu). I work from home full time & have a flexible schedule, reliable transportation and a desire to help others give their pets more schedule freedom. I own two large breed dogs and care for a family members GSD regularly as well. I am well versed in dog breeds big and small.
About: I've always been around animals. Whether it was family pets or animals I showed in FFA, I've always had animals near and dear to my heart. Currently I'm working part time and have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I'm available for house sitting, drop in visits, or dog walking (they can help me get my 10,000 steps in) I understand all things routine involving fur babies, I can walk them when needed, play and take care of them so you have peace of mind while you're out.
“Caylene came every day as scheduled & took her time trying to find my shy kitties!! Was even able to send a couple pictures. It was a big relief to know we had her to rely on & didn’t have to worry while we were away.”
About: Need to board your fur baby before travel or place them in doggy/kitty daycare? I can help! As a pet owner myself, I know how frustrating it can be to find a good, safe place to leave my babies. That's why you can be rest assured that your doggy or kitty will be happy, comfortable, and surrounded by people who will love them and treat them and just like their own. Your fur babies will have a large space indoors to play and snuggle. They will have an even larger outdoor, fenced-in space to run and play as they wish. I have 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I work from home, so I am available all day to care for your pets, walk them and be there for them. They will feel right at home! I like to follow the schedule that the client has set for their pets at home so that pets can feel a sense of continuity in their new environment. I customize my care depending on each pet and their unique needs.
About: I have had pets my whole life. I currently have 2 boxers and a cat. I love spending time with animals and have helped several families throughout my life. I work full time so I am only available evenings and weekends unless schools are closed. In the summer I have much more availability !! My own pets are spoiled. I will care for your pets as if they are my own. With love and respect and never put them in harms way.
About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and a lifetime of hands-on experience caring for pets. As a proud dog owner of two, I understand that every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. I'll treat your furry family member like one of my own, providing a safe, loving, and dependable experience while you're away. Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. As a dog owner of two, my days revolve around feeding, walks, playtime, exercise, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Caring for my dogs has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and understanding each pet's unique needs. Providing a safe, happy, and loving environment is something I enjoy every day, and I'll give your pet the same level of care and attention. I care for my pets by taking them on nice long walks and providing them love and affection that they deserve. My place unfortunately does not have a fence, but my dogs love to roam free and play with the ball out back; If we are not outback we are in the field across from my house throwing the ball and having a good time!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cress
Katie was absolutely amazing! She had great communication throughout her stay, followed all of my instructions perfectly, and quickly became someone I felt completely comfortable and confident trusting with my animals. Most importantly, my girls absolutely loved her! 🐾💜 Katie has such great energy—she’s personable, kind, and incredibly easy to talk to. During her sit with Opal and Rory, the Rover app was being a little challenging, but Katie went above and beyond to make sure I knew she was there and that my girls were happy and okay despite the technical difficulties. That extra communication meant so much to me! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and I will absolutely be booking with Katie again in the very near future! I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, communicative, and genuinely wonderful with animals. 🐶🐱💜

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
