“Emily did an incredible job with my pet. She walked him, took photos, and let me know how he was doing. She was so flexible and easy to work with, and it’s clear that she loves animals so much! Highly recommend booking with Emily!!”
“Thanks so much for taking the job at such late notice Pilar! The dogs really seemed to enjoy you as a sitter and you can took great care of them while I was gone for the weekend. I appreciate all of the communication and pictures!”
“Breanna was absolutely wonderful! From start to finish, she communicated consistently and kept us in the loop with regular updates and photos of our pups. It was clear from the pictures and messages that she was spending quality time with them and giving them the love and attention they’re used to at home. Our dogs immediately felt comfortable with her, and we could tell they were in great hands. Breanna went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and relaxed while we were away. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were being cared for by someone so kind, dependable, and attentive. We would absolutely book Breanna again and recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter!”
“I highly recommend Olivia! She is reliable, responsible, and truly kind. She followed all the instructions, kept me updated, and took great care of both my cat and my home. Everything was clean and tidy when I returned. Most importantly, my cat loves her! She clearly cares about animals and takes the time to build trust with them. Knowing my cat was happy and well cared for made all the difference. I feel lucky to have found such a dependable and caring cat sitter. I will definitely book her again in the future!”

About: I’ve cared for pets my whole life and see them as kiddos, not property. I’m patient, detail‑oriented, and focused on loving, safe, consistent routines tailored to each fur baby’s needs—your fur baby, hopefully soon to be our fur baby! I’m a master’s student with a flexible, self-managed schedule, so pet care is easy to build into my days. I plan my coursework and other commitments around drop-ins, walks, playtime, and feeding routines—your fur baby’s needs are intentionally woven into my weekly schedule, not squeezed in. Before the initial visit, I would start with a detailed conversation with pet parents to understand their fur baby’s usual routine, preferences, and any special needs. In their home, I follow their established schedule as closely as possible—feeding, walks, playtime, and downtime are all tailored to match what their pet is used to. I keep their space tidy, respect house rules, and provide regular photo/text updates so parents feel connected and reassured. My goal is for my care to feel like an extension of their own, not a disruption—making their fur baby’s time with me comforting, familiar, and stress-free.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Darlington stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
