“Took the time to be patient with my very fearful dog. Reliable and did extra meet and greet to get both of my dogs used to her. Very flexible with availability. Would recommend!!”
“Josh has been amazing with our pups! We had an emergency and needed someone asap. Josh responded and accepted our request within minutes, for a next morning request. He took the time to learn each dog’s needs and is always very communicative during the visits. Our dogs are HUGEEEE, so it’s not easy to just trust anyone with them. I’d definitely recommend Josh to anyone and everyone. He’s our go to sitter!”
“Karlena took wonderful care of my older cat while I was away! I would get notes and pics everyday as well as a list of things she took care of daily for her. I felt she was reliable and trustworthy while she took great care of my baby!”
“Jennifer was a fabulous communicator and put my mind at easy during my weekend away. she was so sweet to my kitty and did everything i was hoping she would during her visit! Highly recommend”
“Laura is just the right person we were looking for to provide care for our new puppy during the work week afternoons. She is incredibly easy to get in touch with, always provides updates, is adaptable to schedule and requests, and has a genuine love for pets that are not even her own! Any worries we had with leaving Hugo for bits of the day have been relieved now that we have a reliable person there for him when we can't be. Can't thank you enough, Laura!”
“Brooke was so kind and attentive to my kitties. My babies were well cared for. It was nice to get daily updates and photos. Brooke is reliable, accommodating and flexible.”
About: I have owned dogs and cats my whole life. At one point we had 4 dogs in the house! I am a dog-lover above all, but I also LOVE cats and understand them and their boundaries. I look forward to making new furry friends :) I currently work part-time on Saturdays and am a grad student during the Fall and Spring. Pet care is an AWESOME addition to my open schedule! I have overnight “cat-sat” on and off for the last two years. I do not leave any messes and am respectful of others’ spaces. I keep to myself and read books or do homework online when I stay the night somewhere—as well as hanging with critters!! I am professional and respectful about the work I do🩷
“Thank you again for taking good care of my kitty! Kelly is great she plays with my cat and pets her. It puts my mind at ease knowing my cat is getting more than just food while I am gone. She is getting attention and hopefully feeling more secure about me being away. I think my kitty really likes Kelly because the next day after I return she looks out the glass door a number of times meowing around the time of day Kelly comes. So I think she is looking for her! Kelly is great I recommend her!”
“Brittney is absolutely amazing! She has taken care of our 16 year old cat several times and is always so loving with our fur baby. She communicates everything so we know exactly how our cat is doing. When our cat got sick she gave her meds, sent us videos, and even offered to go pick up her medication. She always goes above and beyond to make sure our cat is happy, healthy, and loved!”
About: Hi! My name is Mahalah, and I’ve cared for all kinds of pets—big and small—for most of my life. I genuinely love getting to know each animal’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I currently have a Miniature Pinscher who is quite the ball of energy! He also struggles with reactivity, so I have firsthand experience understanding a reactive dog’s needs, recognizing their triggers, respecting their boundaries, and helping them feel comfortable in new situations. If your dog is reactive, nervous, or takes a little time to warm up, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I’m happy to take things at their pace and work toward building trust. I also have experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs who needed help getting up and down stairs and those who required daily medication. I understand that older pets may need a little extra patience, gentleness, and attention, and I’m happy to provide that care. Since I’m currently working on Rover full-time, my schedule is flexible, and I’m able to give your pets plenty of attention and treats throughout the day. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, loved, and genuinely happy while they’re with me. I take the time to get to know each dog’s personality, routine, likes, dislikes, and individual needs so I can give them the best care possible. Whether they’re playful and full of energy, shy and nervous, reactive, elderly, or just looking for someone to cuddle with, I’m patient and always willing to meet them where they’re most comfortable. Caring for my own dog has taught me how important patience, understanding, and building trust can be, and I bring that same care and compassion to every pet I look after. I want you and your dog to feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in good hands.
“We are happy we tried Rover and found Jade. He has been a great communicator, reliable, prompt, and attentive to our Labrador, Mack. It gives us a new level of comfort knowing we can leave Mack with a caring dog sitter/walker.”
“Giselle was great with our two dogs. Very patient with our less social one and played fetch with our more active one. She communicated very well with us and followed all the instructions we left. Would recommend for sure.”
“It is commendable that Michelle was able to get my “feral” cat Madelyn out to sniff her hand!! And she relieved me from worry by caring for all my fur babies while I was gone over the holiday weekend including giving one of my cats his inhaler If anyone is looking for a pet sitter around East Hampton to drop in Michelle gets the job done. It was a perk to come home to a clean area as well.”
About: Hi! My name is Douglas, Doug for short. Currently a proud papa to a golden lab named Sunny, and a grey longhair cat named Remy. My best friend is a pug/chihuahua mix named Taz. I also had an old man chihuahua named Finn, and I’ll forever miss him. I feel like I speak dog, I know how to tailor my personality to meet the needs of any dog. Cliche to say but I am better with animals than with people. I am responsible, gentle, caring, and a big rule follower. I have pretty open availability throughout the week so I have lots of time to hang out with your dogs! Let me know what you need and I should be able to make it work! I have experience with crate training my dog so I am comfortable playing with your dog in the house or yard, and switching them to their crate if needed.
“Madison was so friendly, professional, and reliable. Our standoffish cat warmed up to her right away, which is a better review than anything I could write. We can't wait to book her for a longer stay!”
About: I grew up with dogs since I was 8. I have cared for my own pets since 18. My neighbors and friends trust me to care for their fur babies while they are away from home. I have experience with puppies, adult and senior dogs as well as cats. I can walk, play, feed, administer medication or just hang out with your pets as needed. I will follow your instructions and respect your home. You can trust me caring for your pets, making them happy and provide updates to you while you are away. I am currently available most of the day and night to provide the care your pup needs. I am available to stay at your place after 7pm if you require house sitting and will leave in the morning. I will provide visits and walks during the day. I will follow your instructions to provide the care and attention your pup needs in your home, during our walk or play time. I will provide updates as needed. My mission is to make your pup and you happy.
About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Cromwell
Brittney always does such a lovely job caring for my kitty! She clearly loves her, and the feeling is definitely mutual. I always feel completely comforted knowing Brittany is watching her. She’s professional, caring, responsible, and just an all-around wonderful person. I’m so grateful to have someone I trust so much with my kitty! ❤️
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kaitlin! My family will be moving out of state soon and we're so sad because we've never had a better pet sitter. The peace of mind we have when we leave our cats in her care is priceless. Can't recommend strongly enough!
Josh has watched my large crew of a dog, cats and chickens multiple times now and I always feel confident that they are in good hands. My dog loves him, he’s prompt at responding to messages, and is also open to last minute bookings. I’ll definitely continue using Josh in the future and would recommend him to other pet parents.

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 .

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 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.
