“Barbie has been doing drop in visits with Miller for several months now and I could not be happier with her exceptional service. She is extremely reliable and truly enjoys her time with my dog which I know he loves. I never have to worry whether or not he is being well cared for. I would highly recommend Barbie to care for your furry babies!!”

About: Over 20 years of taking care of pets. I love cats, dogs, birds, etc. I’ve had some clients for decades. I am a pet photographer by trade but have always babysat pets on the side for fun. I am a freelance photographer, so I set my own schedule. The more notice I have for a booking the more I can reserve as much time as possible for your pet. I can easily integrate your pets schedule into mine when you hire me. I live in a condo with no back yard, but taming your pets out for many potty breaks or walks is not problem. There is also a great area with hiking trails about 10 minutes away.
“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!”

“Andrew cared for our 7 cats for 8 days, two visits daily, and did a great job. He had to clean five litter boxes, change five water bowls and a fountain, feed different diets and even give medication twice daily for one of the cats. He sent us photos, communicated as needed and kept up with keeping the boxes refilled and sweeping up excess litter. He brought in mail and packages too! Will definitely book with Andrew again!”


About: I have owned and/or lived with 4 pets since childhood: three dogs and 1 cat. I am an active walker, feeder, cuddle buddy, caregiver, and devoted Dog-Mom. I have also house/dog-sat in the past for an elderly dog requiring special care for weaker legs. In addition, I have walked other family dogs and aided older dogs in need of special attention. I am currently working freelance on my own schedule, so I am more than willing to free up time for your fur-baby. I am available 5 days a week: Tuesday through Thursday anytime before 6pm and fully free on Monday and Friday, as well as most weekends. I have a 3-year old mutt who I currently walk 2-3 times everyday, feed, and love. I have two dog seats for car transportation (one for a small dog and one for a medium sized dog). I also have extra leashes for walks if need be. I can transport myself to your home with my car.
About: I can be your dog’s personal nanny and hiking buddy!! I have a mini Goldendoodle named Ava, and she loves when we go on walks, play fetch and hide and seek!! She is the daughter I’ve never had, being I am a mom to 3 boys, and I spoil her TONS and would love to share my time with your fur babies as well. I’m a stay at home mom, and looking to help out any parents who need some extra care and love for your doggies as well!! I will care for your pets as I do my own and I’m committed to creating a safe, positive and fun experience :) As stated above, I am a stay at home mom and have the time and patience to help anyone out with your fur babies as well :) My schedule is very open and I can easily accommodate many requests as needed. I also live on a farm and can take your dog for walks around our fields, if that is something you would also want. I have no problem coming to your house to take your dog on walks, provide bathroom breaks and even a friendly game of catch, whatever their heart desires! I also have a very friendly dog, named Ava, that can keep your dog company if watching them at my house was a preference as well. We live on a farm and have tons of land to keep them busy. We also have a dog crate, if needed, and plenty of cute toys!
“Lauren visited my cats over a weekend away. She followed instructions I left, took it upon herself to change the water bowl I left for the outside critters during a heat wave, and won over my scaredy cat. I am very pleased and will book her again.”

“Arieanna was great! This was our first time using rover and we couldn’t be happier. My wife and I had to go out of town for a family emergency and Arieanna came by twice to walk and feed our dogs dinner at night. We will definitely be using her again if needed.”

About: I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love caring for them!

I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, administering basic medications, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they’re in my care! I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting depending on my work schedule, with weekday and weekend availability. I’m very comfortable caring for animals in my clients’ homes.

I currently work M-F until 4pm, I can do walks and drop ins any time after those hours, or any time at all on the weekends! I can ensure your pets safety whether that be on walks or in your own home!

About: I have many years experience of pet care from ownership to boarding to walks. I’m an outdoors womanI love all animals and will treat your pets like family because that’s what they are. I am retired and want to dedicate my free time to do what I love most. Spending time and caring for animals. I also know how to teach dogs some tricks they may not know yet. In the end you can rest well and know your pet will be safe with me. Your pet will have 1 on 1 time with me. If needed your pet will not have to be around other pets if that makes them uncomfortable. I understand that some animals don’t like to share their humans and can not coexist with other animals. I am an animal free home. Most of my lifelong experience has been with corgis and Australian shepherd’s although I’ve cared for many different breeds. I am always available for FaceTime during their stay. I don’t mind sending pictures and videos daily either I am retired and have an open schedule to dedicate my time to your pets. I love walking at all the different parks and bringing the pups with me to explore. I also have a pet friendly lake close by. If your dog is a swimmer i will gladly take them weather permitting. During their stay i will also have field trips to the dog park and other locations if you’re okay with me driving with your pet. I have 3 acres of property for your pet to explore. All my plants are pet safe. I don’t use any chemicals that are harmful in or outside my home. Over an acre is fenced in for your pet to run freely. On hot days I have baby pools i can fill up for your pet to play in. If your pet is a swimmer i have a beautiful pet friendly lake within 5 miles of my home and love to take them to swim. I also have several dog parks close by. When transporting your pet i have pet seatbelts for your pet’s safety. My home is extremely clean inside and out. Most importantly I will always have my eyes on your pet. They will not be left alone.
“Adrienne was very thorough in taking care of our fur babies. She went above and beyond telling us how our cats were doing and sending pictures with each visit. She interacted with the cats and even the antisocial one liked her. As anxious fur baby parents, the peace of mind that she gave us was priceless. We will definitely be rebooking with her and highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies.”

About: I have always had a love for animals. Growing up, I always had pets, mostly dogs and cats but also rodents, snakes, and frogs. I have also volunteered for 2 animal shelters in the past and still actively volunteer at one with walking dogs. I am currently in school and working part time but somehow still have plenty of free time! I love helping out people especially when it comes to caring for their pets when they cannot, whether that be at work or on vacation. I will always keep any animals on leashes or in the house. I will keep the same principles as my own dogs and will always keep them safe and keep their boundaries granted.
“This was my first time using Rover & I happened upon Kat after pouring over all the sitters in my area. I knew right away she was who I wanted to take care of my fur babies when I’m out of town. After a meet greet the kitties and I loved her. She’s a vet tech by profession, animal CPR certified & a mom to many fur babies herself. I felt content & safe leaving my world in her hands & knew if there was a problem that she’d be able to use her skills, judgment and background to handle it. Bonus she sends pictures & videos & I loved this:)... I plan on utilizing her from here on out & you should too!! You won’t be disappointed!!”

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
