“I highly recommend Jenny, she was fantastic with our new puppy. I needed a drop in visit during the day while I work, Jenny was was great. She picked up and replaced pee pads, played with our little one and sent pics. I had so much anxiety leaving our precious little one, Jenny helped relieve my worries! Many thanks!!”

“Sophia did an amazing job watching my 2 dogs! She sent detailed updates, lots of photos, and went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable while I was gone for 10 days. She maintained a high level of communication and I never had to worry. I highly recommend her for taking care of any pet you need!”
“Was great with our 2 cats. Feed, them both, and gave medicine to our Lucky. Spent time petting and playing with them. Arrived on time, and sent pictures of our precious babies. We will hire again. The cats each gave her 2 paws up. :)”
About: I grew up around dogs, so caring for them comes naturally to me. I’ve helped take care of my friends’ dogs, including Pip, whom I’ve watched since he was a puppy, and Martha, a more senior dog. I’ve handled walking, feeding, playtime, and just generally making sure they’re comfortable and well cared for. I’m very responsible and understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I take that responsibility seriously and treat every dog as if they were my own. It means a lot to me to be given the opportunity to care for your furry friend. : ) I can be flexible with my schedule depending on what you and your doggie needs. If there’s a particular time that you’re looking for, feel free to let me know and we can work something out! I live in a single apartment, with a lots of room for any small or medium sized doggies. I also love runs and long walks if they’re more in the mood to be more playful
About: We have had dogs in the house since I was three years old and we were all responsible for caring for them. I’ve seen dogs through the puppy and training stage to the old age medication and care stage. My dogs were big Labradors, and I dog sat for many people with medium and small dogs at all stages of their lives. There’s not much your dog could throw at me that I wouldn’t handle with confidence and experience! I am currently attending an acting conservatory, the only days that that takes up my whole day are Thursdays and Friday's. Mondays and Tuesdays I’m free after 2, and Wednesdays I am free until 1! Weekends my schedule is wide open and I can work any time, and I am available every night of the week for overnights! With all the animals that have gone through my home growing up I know every pet is different. I follow the owners lead when it comes to how to care for them and never try to push my personal pet care habits on anyone. Everyone has a different relationship with their pet and I am here to respect and emulate that as best I can when you have to be away from your best friend! You and your pet are the boss!
About: Hello my name is Matt, I have experience with all kinds of dogs firm Great Danes to Chiwawas. I was raised on a farm and worked for a pet therapy clinic in Rochester NY. Animals have always been a part of my life and I consider myself lucky because of it. I'm aware of the responsibility that comes with this job and I'd be honored to meet and build trust with you and your fury friend! I am available for pop ins, walks, house sitting, baths the works! I run my own business so I am able to create my own shedule :) I am not currently offering sitting at our house. Our Maverick (large Shepard/husky mix) gets jealous so for now I will not be offering our space.

My weekends are usually free unless I have a half day shit at the clinic based on my schedule I can always make sure to get to your house and look after your pet at any time if available. i take care of my own animals with meticulous care and love. I have 3 dogs and 7 cats and 1 horse so i know everything there is to know about taking care of them
“This was Shannon’s second time watching my boys while I was away. She’s so good with them and they love her. She works on training with my younger dog, Apollo, who can be a handful. She is great at communicating and her availability is always up to date. I’m looking forward to rehiring her.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats since I was 10 years old. Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and stay overnight with their pets. I’m comfortable with puppies, senior dogs, and pets with specific routines or medication needs. I understand how important consistency and patience are, and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available most weekdays after 2pm and have open availability on weekends for walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I’m reliable, punctual, and happy to work with your pet’s specific routine to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priority. I do not have a fenced in yard but I can accommodate and make your pet comfortable at all times. I can crate your dog if needed and always supervise playtime. I follow feeding schedules carefully and will provide updates and photos so you feel at ease while you’re away. In a client’s home, I respect your space and keep everything clean, secure, and just as you left it.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Delmar
Maria and Brandi are the best! My cat is a grumpy 13 year old guy with kidney disease and hyperthyroidism. He needs meds 2x a day and is mean to everyone if I'm not there but Maria and Brandi still sit with him and try their hardest to play with him. I never worry about how he's doing when they're there. Can't recommend them enough!
Katie took care of our two kitties while we were away on vacation. She came by for drop in visits and spent quality time with them, giving them plenty of pets, attention, and playtime. She also sent detailed updates and photos after each visit. We really appreciated how caring, attentive, and thoughtful Katie was with our cats!
Eleanor was wonderful with our boys! This was the first time leaving them with a sitter and we didn’t feel worried at all. She sent great pictures and thorough check-ins. When our trouble boy committed a trouble act, she let us know right away and helped resolve everything. Couldn’t recommend more highly and we look forward to our next booking with her!
Erica is an amazing person and a caring pet sitter. They helped take care of my two kitties fish and plants while I was away. During our meet and greet Erica was engaging and attentive when I was explaining the tasks I would like done. Erica went above and beyond. My kitty got a nervous stomach while I was away and Erica helped clean the mess so I wasn’t extra stressed when I got back. Skittles takes a long time to warm up to pet sitters but she didn’t hide this time and Erica made sure to feed her separately from her brother. Tiberius is happy Erica gave love and attention when we were gone as he gets extra lonely. Thank you again Erica. Best pet sitter I had on rover.
Alison was very helpful with a short notice check in with our pups. We were out for a while and it helped knowing that someone was coming by to check in. We received pics and a video and Alison texted before she left to make sure we didn't need anything else.

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 .

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 .

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.
