“I can't say enough about how great Jamie was with our 3 cats! I'm a bit of a picky pet parent and Jamie did a wonderful job of checking off every need of our furry friends. I highly recommend her!”
“Anna is beyond phenomenal and we can trust her with our pups and in our home. She is excellent with the report cards, pictures and any questions. She truly goes above and beyond and gives me peace knowing that I can enjoy a vacation if she is taking care of our 2 dogs.”
“Cristina was so great! She asked questions beforehand so she would have everything she needed, and took lots of super cute pictures so I knew my pups were in good hands. She was flexible and easy to work with when we had plans change, and I would definitely use her again.”
“Ethan went above and beyond to care for our 2 dogs when a medical incident occurred. Their communication was consistent and frequent throughout our entire vacation. We would happily book with them again and feel like our dogs were safe and loved in their care!”
“Our experience was excellent! Varsha was incredibly reliable, and her frequent updates gave us great peace of mind while we were away. What impressed us most was how she always put our cats' well-being first. She took the time to interact with them based on their personalities, and before long they were comfortable and happy with her. It was clear that she genuinely cared about them. We would absolutely love to have her look after our cats again in the future. Highly recommended!”
“Meaghan was great taking care of my cats while we were gone for 2 weeks. She has been very responsive when I message her with questions or to let her know about something. The cats were doing well and everything was in good order when we got home. I appreciate the effort - it takes a load off my mind while I'm on vacation!”
About: Hello pet parents! I am a dog owner myself, and have taken care of all breeds of dogs from the high energy chihuahua to the reserved mastiff. I am able to handle larger breeds since I strength train regularly at the gym. I can also go on longer walks since I take walks on a daily basis. I’m also comfortable with giving dogs oral medication. I currently work full time, but I can be flexible on some days in the afternoon for quick walks. I am available (Monday-Thursday) and mostly free on weekends (Friday-Sunday). I understand that each dog’s personality and temperament is unique and I’m willing to accommodate any dog! I would treat any dog just like my own. We can have multiple meet and greets to make sure your pet is comfortable. I respect every furry pet owners rules and communicate frequent updates. I make sure the dog is comfortable with frequent water breaks and/or potty breaks. I use positive reinforcement, and treats (if okay with owner) to have a great walking experience. I am also experienced in dogs with separation anxiety or just anxiety in general. Plus all the hugs and wags!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover who grew up with a miniature poodle and have always had pets as part of my family. Today, I share my home with my sweet 12-year-old Cavachon, who has been a beloved member of our family for many years. I’m also a proud mom of four children, with years of experience caring for both people and pets. As a homeowner and pet owner, I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy, dependable, and caring to look after your furry family members when you’re away. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, medication, or simply extra love and attention, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I believe every pet deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of affection. I take pride in being responsible, reliable, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs and personality. My goal is to give you peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in my care. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I work Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, but I come home during my lunch break, which allows me to provide midday potty breaks, walks, and check-ins for pets in my care. Before and after work, I have plenty of time to provide exercise, attention, feeding, and companionship. On weekends, I am home throughout the day and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to spend extra time with pets and accommodate their individual needs. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, loving, and structured environment where dogs can feel secure while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has different needs and routines, and I do my best to follow the schedule and care instructions provided by each owner. For safety reasons, I require dogs to be crate trained and comfortable in a crate. When I am away from home and overnight, dogs will be safely crated to prevent accidents, injuries, or stress. This helps ensure your pet remains safe and secure when they cannot be directly supervised. While I am home, your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, potty breaks, exercise, and companionship. I will also keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for.
About: Lifelong animal lover with 10+ years experience. I bring a calm, patient, and attentive approach to every pet I care for, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. — I provide pet care services including drop-ins, dog walking, and pet sitting visits. I handle feeding and maintaining your pet’s daily routine so they stay comfortable and consistent while you’re away. I also make sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and attention based on their personality and energy level. I’m comfortable caring for pets who need a little extra patience, structure, or have special needs or behaviors that require understanding and consistency. As a stay-at-home mom, I am available for pet care on weekends only. My preferred hours are 9:00 AM – 5:00 PM, with occasional flexibility until 9:00 PM depending on the booking. I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm environment for every pet in my care. I understand how important it is for animals to feel secure, especially when their owners are away. I pay close attention to each pet’s body language and comfort level, and I always approach them with patience and respect for their boundaries. In a client’s home, I am careful, respectful, and detail-oriented, making sure pets are safe, routines are followed, and the home is left just as it was.
“Aaron was great with my dogs and communicated with me, while I was away. I will definitely be using him ,again, in the future! If you’re feeling any kind of way about someone coming into your home when you’re gone you should know I felt my home was safe and my dogs were in good hands. I’m very happy to have found him.”
“Ashlee was wonderful with Petey. She was willing to meet him prior to taking care of him and sent me the best pictures of him happy and healthy. I will definitely be using her again in the future!”

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 Emerson 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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
