“Great experience! We booked a quick drop-in visit before an upcoming house sit, and everything went wonderfully. She was punctual, friendly, and took the time to get to know our pets and their routines. We felt very comfortable with her and are looking forward to having her stay with our pets while we’re away. Highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using a pet sitter, other than family, and we are extremely pleased with the experience. Cassie went above and beyond, taking care of our cats and home while we were away. Even our very shy cat, who takes days to come out while visitors are here, was out within a day and looking forward to her visits. Regular updates, photos, and personable accounts of the visits all added up to easing our minds about how the cats were doing, and we can't thank Cassie enough for her care of 2 of our furry family members! Highly recommend and will be calling Cassie for sure next time we need someone to watch the cats.”
“We have used Allison for drop in visits 3 times now. She always does a great job and our dogs love her. She always shows up on time, follows instructions, sends plenty of pictures and spends more then the half hour with them.”
“Brittany took very good care of Teddy while I was away. Her daily updates were very much appreciated as it gave me peace of mind. I would definitely hire her again and highly recommend her services.”
About: I have experience with cats with health issues and giving medications. My 18 yr old has CKD and a few other issues he gets supplements for that keep him going. I have volunteered with cats at an animal shelter and helped with dog adoption events as a dog handler. My schedule is very open at the moment so I'm available for whatever is needed. I have 3 cats so I do need to be home several times a day to care for them. My cats are indoor only but I take my 18 year old out on a leash on walks around the yard, but he mostly prefers to be carried. I'm happy to take other cats on walks if they are harness trained, or just play with them indoors. Dogs I will walk of course and play with as needed.
“Katleyn was great! Kept in touch the whole time and got along great with our 3 year old German Shepard who can sometimes be a handful. Would definitely book again in the future.”
“Samantha was very good with our lab Jake! She showed up to each visit in a timely manner. Pictures of Jake and good communication was appreciated. I would not hesitate to use Samantha again; the weekend went great!”
About: I have taken care of my dog since he was a puppy when I was 10 years old, my dog is now 16 years old and I still take care of him. I have also taken care of my family and friends dogs for the past 5 years. I am currently watching your pets full-time so I will have plenty of time to play with and keep your pets safe! I’m available for house sittings, dog walks, and check ins 7 days of the week. I will provide attentive, loving care while following feeding schedules, maintaining secure doors/leashes, give constant attention, provide updates, clean thoroughly, respect house rules, and create a calm, comfortable environment for your pets!
“FABULOUS caretaker! She made sure to send pictures of each of my 5 cats every day, had experience with the Sphynx breed herself, and went well above and beyond for us. My animals get fed a raw diet and due to a mix-up, 50+ pounds of meat got delivered while I was out of town. She made sure it got inside and in the freezer without even a hesitation! I didn't have to worry about them at all with Erin, and that itself was a blessing!”
“Marissa was communicative and careful. She made my dogs feel safe and happy while I was away. She was flexible and made the process easy for us! Highly recommend and look forward to working together again.”
“it was my first time using rover Lauren was outstanding !!! The babies were so happy to see her . My lil dog very timid and she sent me a pic of her on her lap which you can’t even try to fake a photo because the little dog is like a wet cat lol . I’m soooo happy we found her . Look forward to her being our permanent best friend for our doggos”
About: I have taken care of pets my entire life. I’ve had dogs, cats and fish. I’ve cared for lizards and small furry friends as well. I will always stop to pet a dog and I’ve had animals come up to me out in the wild on multiple occasions. Although I currently do not have a pet, I love sitting for my friends. I’ve cared for all size and age of dog from a few months to 16 years. I believe pets are family and should be treated as such. Im currently off for the summer but teaching summer school for the month of July. My schedule is pretty open and much if what I do have scheduled is flexible. Although I live in an apartment, my complex is extremely pet friendly with 4 dog parks and a full walking loop with poop bags around the entire property.
About: I have lived on a farm my whole life. We had many dogs and it was my job to take care of them. I have raised puppy’s taken care of elderly dogs, and have taken care of dogs that needed medical care. I understand the temperament of all furry friends as they are all special in their own way. All of my time will be devoted to your pups. My job is to make sure your pups have the best vaca at my location! I have two very friendly Labrador retrievers. If your dog is friendly then they will have lot of fun! If your dog is not then I do have the resources to make sure they don’t see each other. If your dogs needs to be crated I do have that option. I live on a farm so I have many acres of space for play time . I do not have a fenced In yard so they will be leashed for their safety unless it’s fine by you. Whatever standard you have for your pup, I can meet it.
About: For over five years, I've been running my dog walking/sitting business, primarily through word of mouth thanks to the trust and satisfaction of my clients. Until recently, I considered this business more of a side gig, stemming from my joy of being around animals. Now, I'm ready to transition into a full-time business, fully committing to providing the best care for your furry family members. I have a flexible schedule that enables me to easily adjust and adapt my services as needed, ensuring that I can meet the individual requirements of both owner and their pets I am fully pet insured, which provides me with the coverage needed while caring for your furry friends. Additionally, I am CPR certified by Dognostic, ensuring that I am prepared to handle any emergencies that may arise. I take pride in providing a loving and secure environment for pets in my care.
About: I have experience with working dogs, companion dogs, cats, fish, reptiles, and other animals. I have done training with dogs from basic obedience up to recreational agility, I am an active person who is more than happy to provide physical and mental energy to your dogs, and I am very educated on mental stimulation/enrichment to help your animals thrive. I do not get squeamish around insects/invertebrates, so I have no problem feeding your animals or taking care of your colonies. If your pet has care needs that aren't standard (or if you are very specific about the way your pet is cared for), leave me a note or step by step in texts. I am more than happy to help you and your pets with any of their care needs. While I do work, I have a flexible schedule that allots me time to work with you and your pets! I am always happy to discuss scheduling with you. In a clients home, I am more than happy to do whatever is necessary to care for the pet. Walks on a routine schedule set by the client, feeding at set times, with several opportunities for play/enrichment as set by the client. I have no issues cleaning litter boxes or handling animal waste. Ensuring that your pets don't have any stressful scheduling changes is one of my top priorities.
About: I have grown up with dogs almost all of my life and they are great! I drive around for work as a speech therapist, so if you need someone to pop in and let your dog out, maybe we can work something out! I also enjoy taking dogs for walks, too. In the pictures is my dog Georgia, who passed away several years ago, unexpectedly. I can’t bare to delete them! I currently am working from home, trying to build my own business, so my schedule is currently flexible. I walk my dog 2x a day. I am not offering in home care for dogs due to having my own dog and family in the house, but in your house, I will follow instructions to care for them and/or play with them.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Dorothy stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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.

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 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.
