“Lauren took great care of our cats, hamster, and fish and took great pictures during her stay. The cats look like they had a great time with her and we could rest easy during our vacation (:”
“Julie was really everything we wanted in a pet sitter. She was reliable, friendly, responsible & trustworthy. She became an instant friend to our dogs Rosie & Louie. If there is another opportunity in the near future to hire Julie we will not hesitate! Thank you. Jeff”
About: I am incredibly reliable, trustworthy, and flexible. I wish I could have a dog of my own, but due to where I'm currently living my landlord doesn't allow dogs. I have grown up with a dog and it is hard not having one around. My childhood dog was Bruno who was a Boston Terrier. When he passed away it was devastating, but we had the opportunity to adopt Gizmo who was Pug and lived with me up until the middle of high school. After Gizmo passed away, we adopted Odie who was another Boston Terrier. We rescued him from California, and he brought so much love and joy. Years later due to his health issues and age, he eventually went to doggy heaven. I love having the opportunity through Rover to be around dogs. All instructions you leave for me will be followed with the utmost care to keep your fur buddy happy! My schedule is flexible when it comes to fitting pet care into my daily/weekly routine. I can accommodate to make sure the pets routines are consistent with having a similar schedule in place. During the meet and greet is when I like to find more about the pet, when they are to be fed, bathroom breaks, playtime, exercise, and sleep. It is important to have a schedule in place, so nothing is forgotten about and helps to keep everything structured. Whether the service being drop-in visits, or dog walking. I will be transparent, always verifying with the client's first, and asking for all necessary information. For example, care instructions, owner contact information, and emergency contact information for every stay.
“Bill was able to take care of our adopted outdoor kitty when we had to leave suddenly to go out of town. It was reassuring to know that Lloyd wasn't going hungry. He made sure the water dish was clean, too.”
About: Hello! Thank you for your interest! When income to your house your pet will be greeted with a smile and open arms or structure and confidence depending on what they need, I understand all pets are unique in their own way. I have 4 years vet tech experience behind me and 2 years into owning my own farm currently. Let me know where I can help out with your pet! I currently own a farm. I absolutely love taking care of animals. I find it very rewarding to be around not only my animals but to also know I'm helping out others. I Am a very aware person. I'm constantly thinking and looking for anything that an animal could get into, harm itself in any way etc.- if you think you thought of it... I've thought of 100 other ways or what-ifs?
“Jennifer was amazing, she went above and beyond. I had her look after my kitten for the week while I was on vacation, I had no problem leaving him in her hands. She would always send plenty of pictures and made sure he had plenty of play time. I would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone!”
“Brianna was a huge help for me and my pup! He was in a cone during her visits and she took care of him with ease! He loved having her care for him and we can’t wait to use her in the future. She was great with communication and very reliable.”

“Isis did a great job caring for my 15 y/o dog. She was on top of his medicines and took great care of him in our absence. She provided us with great updates too. I will definitely be booking with her in the future.”
About: I care for every dog like my own pets. I pay close attention to detail. I love to always give my best service to any and every client. I'm currently working part-time at a carwash. I usually work opening or closing shifts on weekdays and weekends. But if I know ahead of time, I can do the job. I keep my pets safe and secure in my home especially outside. I'm very loving and treat every pet I interact with as my own.

“Bria went above and beyond our expectations taking care of our kitties while we were away. She came more than we had requested just to make sure they had a clean litter box and enough food and water. She also went to the store for supplies after we ran out. She was very sweet and communicated well and responded quickly. I’m a rover sitter so it was interesting being on the other end but I’m so glad we chose her.10/10 (:”
“Mary Kay was wonderful with my service dog Sunshine and his many “rules.” She was personable and kind, and he took to her instantly. I will definitely be having her back with Sunshine soon!”
About: Hey! My name is Addy and I’m 19! I’ve been taking care of all sorts of dogs since I was a kid, including my own. I have helped out neighbors, friends, and family by pet sitting, checking in on them a few times a day, and even just taking them for walks.

About: I’ve been surrounded by various dog breeds and ages my entire life and learned to love senior dogs as my childhood dog grew older. I have experience with infant puppies to the late stages in life. I love to spend time with other people’s dogs because I 1) enjoy helping other people out but 2) can’t have a dog of my own right now and need somewhere to give all my love!!! I see clients throughout the week at various times, usually virtually, so my availability is pretty open! Fridays work a little differently, but I will also make sure to update you on that! I am free for check-ins, but also LOVE sitting at home with the dogs when I can - especially since I can use remote platforms! I will mostly stay overnight for people in their homes and take care of their dogs + give lots of snuggles while families are on vacation. I will feed the dogs, give them medications if needed, make sure water is kept clean and full, play in the yard (if available), take on walks, snuggles, etc :)

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.
