“Kim helped us out when we were visiting South Dakota. She was fantastic - prompt, friendly, and she sent us detailed feedback about Kona on their walks. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Rachel is amazing. Best pet sitter we have ever had. We have an 11 year old Mastiff who has issues getting up and also going up and downstairs. She was so caring and patient with Lucy. Always arrived on time and was wonderful when we needed to add more drop ins. Rachel also gave us great suggestions about restaurants and different places to visit.”
About: I’ve worked with animals, mostly dogs and horses my whole life. My career as a Ship’s Captain makes it impossible for me to have my own pets, so I care for others’s pets, like they are my own. I am very responsible and resourceful. I will always keep you informed on how your dog is, I’ll send you photos, a LOT! I completely respect owners wishes and direction regarding dog care, diet and exercise. I’m a fit person, and enjoy exercise myself. I enjoy the company of a dog when exercising. Makes us both happy. When I care for a dog in your home, I understand the boundaries. My home is in a beautiful area, with plenty of room. I do have a fenced space. I spend a lot of time with who I’m boarding, since I am on leave when I do pet care. I am happy to take care of multiple pets from the same home. However, I do try to take care of only one family at a time. When I’m caring for your pet, I am on leave, and have very few commitments. I spend a lot of time outdoors, and adjust my routine to suit my clients needs. Being on leave makes it easy. I have a lot of room at my home, no pets of my own, and my neighbors don’t have any either. I have a fenced dog run, but I seldom need to use it, but I know I am glad to have it, just in case.
“We have never done a drop-in before, so we were a bit nervous about how our dog would do with someone coming into her space. But Margaret was amazing and so patient with her! She came by for a meet-and-greet to get to know her ahead of time, which was perfect. We would 100% have Margaret watch June again!”
“I’m very pleased. Birdie was obviously indulged and fully pampered, eagerly greeted her daily visits and spoiled as much as I would have done myself if not more. One photo even showed Birdie rolled onto her back which is an ultimate sign of acceptance and comfort with your care. Thank you so much!”
“Chelsea was awesome! We needed last minute help and live a long ways out and she helped us out and did an excellent job. Her communication was outstanding and my dogs loved her. She was very observant of their personalities and knew what each needed. She is clearly a dog person and knows a lot about them. I will definitely use her again.”
About: I have extensive experience in animal care, having grown up rehabilitating, caring for, and training a wide range of animals, from small squirrels to large horses. With several years of experience as a veterinary technician, I am deeply passionate about animal welfare. Over the past several years, I have also provided pet sitting services, caring for both young and elderly animals, as well as those with special needs. I am highly comfortable and confident in administering medications as needed as well as adhering to any specific dietary guidelines. I am a stay at home mom to my 1 year old son, so I have lots of time in my schedule to keep a close eye on your pet and give them as much attention as possible while you’re away! I have a fenced back yard which is perfect for playtime or just to hang out and get some sun! My own dog loves to run around up and down the hill in our yard! I also have a large dog kennel in case that is at all needed.
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, including dogs, cats, cows, and horses. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and comfortable caring for animals of different ages, sizes, and needs. Whether it’s keeping a puppy entertained, giving a senior pet extra patience and attention, or simply providing companionship, walks, playtime, and lots of love, I treat every pet like they’re my own. What sets me apart is the genuine connection I have with animals and the care I put into making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to caring for your pets. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can provide walks, playtime, feeding, companionship, and attention based on your pet’s individual needs. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to keep them comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, medications if needed, playtime, and rest. I’m respectful of each client’s home and will provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pets are receiving plenty of attention and care while you’re away.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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.
