“Kasch did an amazing job taking care of my kitties: He was very communicative about what happened during the visits. I have shy cats, but they warmed up to him very fast! I recommend him to anyone!”
“I have a new rescue cat, 13 years old, a bit skittish. This was the first time leaving her. Lily took her usual wonderful care of her, and the photos show how much my cat loves her!”
“Awesome! Clarice can be reserved when she first meets a new person, but she warmed right up to Rose! I loved getting the dozen or so photos Rose sent every day, and her updates showed how thorough she was each visit. I will definitely book her again when I go away again!”
“Words cannot adequately capture how superb James was. I had so much anxiety leaving my babies to take a vacation, but it’s clear I had nothing to worry about with James. He was kind, caring, and attentive to the intricacies of managing my four pets. I’ve had a lot of people pet sit in the past, including friends and family, but nobody has done it better than James. I cannot recommend him highly enough!”
About: I have many years of experience caring for both dogs and cats for friends and clients. I have also fostered a dog for a span of a couple weeks. Although I don't currently have any pets of my own, I therefore have plenty of love and attention to give to every animal I care for. I enjoy keeping pets active with walks and outdoor play, spending quality time with them indoors, maintaining a clean environment, and, of course, rewarding them with treats when appropriate. I am a calm, dependable, and positive person who values routine and consistency. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away :) I love routine and live by my planner to stay organized. I enjoy haveing animals apart of that rontine as well, while also understanding that every pet has unique needs and that some require more time and attention than others. I consistently have Wednesdays and Thursdays free all day. I'm also available for early morning visits and evening appointments, allowing me to provide flexible and dependable care. Your pet's safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that every dog and cat has different needs, and I adjust my care to match their energy level, preferences, and routine. When caring for pets in your home, I treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I follow feeding schedules, administer medications if needed, keep water bowls full, clean up after pets, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, playtime, companionship, and affection. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away.
“Amy truly went above and beyond for our dog, Finn. He can be a little shy at first and she took the time to gain his trust and meet him where he was at. She was very communicative and kept us in the loop about everything. I felt comfortable knowing that my dog was in good hands and will happily have Amy come for future visits.”
About: I grew up with big dogs and many cats and have a lot of experience with them! Family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and play with their pets while they are out of town or if they are behind on time. I am an animal lover and would love to keep your pet company while you’re away. I currently work full time so my schedule varies weekly! I would’ve to hep get your pups outside when I get home from work or before depending on my shift. Please reach out to coordinate! Not only will I walk you dog but I’ll make sure to give them lots of love and more than just a bathroom break! I’ll make sure to get the energy they’ve been saving all day out.
“Kelly went above and beyond to make sure our dogs were taken excellent care of. We were able to really relax knowing Kelly knows what to do. She was very thoughtful and made two new furry bff's. Lucky to have found Kelly!!”
“Tova is the best cat/house sitter ever! So attentive to detail, conscientious, thoughtful and sweet. She lovingly cared for our 17-year-old quirky cat and rolled with a last-minute unanticipated need to feed her daily pills. She sent wonderful photos and detailed updates every day. She did everything we asked and more; for example, watering a plant that she noticed was drooping and organizing our mail and boxes into neat piles. Maine is a "dog state," and we have a beloved dog ourselves, but it is harder to find someone who vibes with beloved cats, especially needier old ones. Tova was just the right purr-son!”
“Marna was reliable and took great care of our kitties while we were away. She also went out of her way to open a plant delivery that arrived late and watered it for me, which was really appreciated. We would definitely recommend her.”
“Amazing to our girl Rosie. Never had an issue. Easy to work with and an incredible animal person. We’ll be rebooking with Nicolette as soon as we move back to the area”
About: I’ve grown up with as many pets as you can imagine (cats, dogs, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, frogs, hermit crabs, etc). I have an immense love for all animals and have been lucky enough to recently adopt a sweet and cuddly puppy with my boyfriend Jack. I have always lot of experience looking after pets of all shapes and sizes (from bunnies to dogs and cats), and have been a pet sitter for friends and family for as long as I can remember. I will love your furry companion like my own pet! Booking a session with me means your pet will get all the cuddles and walkies and attention their heart desires :) I am currently in dental school so my week day schedule is pretty busy as I am seeing patients 8am-5pm during the week. However, my Friday, Saturday and Sunday availability is much more flexible as I am often home relaxing with my own puppy and taking him on walks! If you’re looking for a weekend sitter or some more physical exercise for your furry friend on the weekends, I’m your gal :) I do not have a fenced in yard but the townhouse style apartment I live in has a private entrance making potty breaks a breeze as well as a dog park located right in the complex! It is usually empty so if you’re okay with it, our pups could go run and play together! My boyfriend Jack and I absolutely love animals and especially dogs and are so excited to meet your companion :))
About: I frequently petsit my friend dogs and cats when they are out of town. I grew up with dogs and really miss having one at home. I work full time and I would be a great fit if your critter is ok with being left alone while I work for about 8 hours. I'm available most days and if I have a blocked off day you really need petsitting, please let me know and mostly I probably adjust my schedule. Let me know if you have any questions! Thanks! I typically enjoy spending as much time as possible with your pet! I love going on long walks and quick runs with pets. Please let me know if you have any particular care needs for your pets!
“Yesenia was wonderful with our dog. We used her for check ins. She made the time to come over prior for a meet and greet, and gave thorough updates (and asked appropriate questions) while we were away. It was our first time trying Rover and it went great. We would definitely work with her again.”
About: Hi! I’m Nicholas, a lifelong dog lover and experienced dog sitter here in Portland, ME. I enjoy providing walks, hikes, playtime, and belly rubs to make sure your dog feels loved and safe while you’re away. I’m happy to accommodate any special needs required for your dog. This could include administering medications, handling dietary restrictions, and following your dog’s routine. Your dog’s happiness and comfort are my top priorities! My wife and I are the go to dog sitter for our circle of friends, and hope someday to get a dog of our own! I’d love to meet your furry friend and provide them with excellent care! I work from home Monday-Friday till 5pm. I could do any dog walks after work, or any other care needed. I will be available some weekends. I would make sure to take special care of your dog, and make your dog feel comfortable. If I only did a house visit, I would make sure your dog has everything they need, before I left your house.
“So happy to have found Kourtney! She communicates quickly, sent pictures and a video of Kiwi, and was really helpful with a fairly last minute booking. Definitely would use her again and highly recommend.”

Matthew did a great job with our dogs. He took them out on walks and took great pictures for us to see. He also gave them treats and was good to them. He had 3 dogs to deal with over the time and they all seemed happy with him. Great dog sitter who I would definitely use again!

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.

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.
