“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
“Becky was absolutely amazing taking care of my 2 cats while I was out of town! She gave me everything I didn't know I wanted when stopping by. Would book over and over!”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Matisa was professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about my dog. Matisa provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. I came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matisa again. Highly recommend Matisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
About: I have been taking care of the animals of close friends and family since I was 19 years old. In addition to taking care of cats and dogs, I am also an experienced farm hand. I have taken care of horses, chickens, donkeys, and Alpacas. Whatever your pet needs are, I can do it. I am currently doing volunteer work on Tuesdays, but am available every other day of the week. Early mornings and afternoons work best for me, but I am available later in the evening when needed I can do feedings, walks, drop ins, and full night stays. I can also administer oral medication. I have a dog of my own and she gets daily medication I give her myself.
“Was able to book on short notice with zero hiccups. They took excellent care of our 3 dogs over the weekend— who are not entirely easy, and they made us totally comfortable with updates. Our highest recommendation and we will certainly use again!”
About: All my life my family has had dogs. I am well equipment to care for small dogs, large dogs, old calm dogs, and young playful puppies. I’m open to any and all dogs! I’m a college student with a part time job, so I’m mainly only available on weekends. My schedule can vary though so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask! I am very thorough with instructions, so any information you give me about your dog will be followed to a tee. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, letting your dogs out, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel loved while you’re away!
“Takeema was great with our two dogs Bjorn and Rayne. I could tell both of our dogs enjoyed her company. Takeema would stop by our home while we were away at work. We will contact her again if we were in need of another stop in!”
“Laurie has been so good with Toulouse. We just moved into the area and were a little concerned about taking a vacation so soon. Laurie’s reports on how Toulouse has been adjusting to being alone have eased our minds.”
“Mariah was wonderful with our fur family. She spent time with everyone and sent pictures of happy pups/cats to me daily. I could tell the dogs were happy since they kept bringing her gifts of everything they found on the floor. Even the cats who don't trust most people came out of hiding for her. I will definitely ask Mariah to sit again.”
About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always had them in my life! From taking care of my sister from puppyhood to her golden years to raising doggy fur kiddo’s of my very own, I take pride and honor in respecting each and every dog I meet! I walk my own pug and pomsky 4 times a day, as well as take them to our backyard dog park that’s incredible for play! Both of my own pups are fully vaccinated, well socialized, and are very excited to meet new friends! I am a college student full time with online classes but have a ton of time to pour into animal care and outside time! I cannot wait to see where this adventure goes! I’m a full time college student but my girls are already a big part of my schedule! This semester I have all online courses so am very flexible Aside from outright walking the neighborhood, I have a fully fenced dog park directly behind my house that has a one group policy! Meaning if I’m at the park there is a wait for others vice versa! Our neighborhood is a lovely daily walk as well with many doggy bag stations!
“Justin was the BEST!! And super easy to work with! The meet and greet went great and I knew our dogs would be in great hands during the drop in visits! Outstanding communication! Definitely will be booking Justin for any future drop in visits we may need!!”
About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having. Since I am currently building my dedicated client base, your pet will never be "just another stop" on a long list. They get my undivided attention, energy, and affection. I currently work from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available weekdays as well as weekends. We have a fenced area in our yard, and a safe neighborhood for walks. Additionally, we have a dog and two cats to keep your pet company.
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs. I’ve taken care of my childhood dog and my parents three dogs. I also have a pet cat that I had for two years. I am passionate about exercising the dogs needs such as frequent walks, enrichments, and making sure to sneak in their medicine! One of my parents dogs needs to take medicine everyday and often times I do help. The same energy goes towards cats, I believe enriching and making sure they take their medicine is important! Since I intend to further my higher education, my routine and schedule is open and flexible for any pet care services that is needed for my clients. I care for pets in my home by making sure they have all their needs; any bedding, medicine, water, food, and enrichment toys. To add, making sure the pets cannot get into places or items that can be dangerous to them. If it’s within the clients home, I will make sure with the client of the proper medication to the right per, a list on what/how much they should be fed and their schedule, and any walking schedule the client insists on. Of course, providing adequate enrichment that involves treats/rewards!
About: ******Previous Clients**** -Please message me if you do not see any availability on my calendar, and I will try my best to accommodate you. 💕 At this time, I do not allow parents in my home due to safety reasons and COVID. I am able to provide your fur baby with all the attention and love they will need while you are away. Also, I do not believe in caging animals, and your dog will be able to roam my house like their own. Though many people believe that it does not take a lot of experience to be good at dog sitting, it actually requires a number of skills. Consider first, how much you love your pets, and how you would feel if they were lost, taken for granted, and/or mistreated by an individual you are paying. This is why you must have a candidate who knows about different breeds of dogs, is on time, and know how to care for dogs in feeding, playing, and walking dogs. Moreover, they must love dogs-otherwise all will be amiss. I have been dog sitting as a profession for over eight years, and 15 years before that for my own dogs. I love animals, and have all the skills and experience you might need in a candidate.

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.
