“Anne and Jason were so attentive to the needs of our dog Maizy! She can be kind of picky about people, but after the first meet-and-greet visit I knew she would be in great hands! We were so happy to be able to leave Maizy at home and have them check in on her while we were away for the weekend. Being new to town, we don't know many people, so we were thrilled to have this option. I wouldn't hesitate to have them look after her again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Starting from spirited kittens and senior cats to tireless puppies and gentle giant breeds. Growing up with pets of all sizes and personalities taught me how to read their body language, earn their trust, and make them feel at home. Whether they need a long walk or quiet cuddle, I treat every pet like family because that’s what they have always been to me. I’m currently taking time off before heading back to school, so my schedule is wide open! I’m available most weekdays, mornings through evenings. I would love to stop by for daily check ins and go for walks of all distances. In summation, I have the time (and love) to give them my full attention. When it comes to your pets, I always follow feeding, play, and rest routines closely to help them feel at home, whether in mine or their own space.
About: I adopted my cat, Ambrose, in 2020 and rescued my dog, Tipsy, 2 years ago. I also had a family dog for 10 years. I volunteer with a few animal shelters in the area, walking dogs and socializing cats. I am comfortable with administering a complicated or complex diet and administering pills. I have an 8-5 Monday through Friday, but am free in the early mornings, evenings, and weekends! I work remotely so I can make short visits during the day, or bring my computer and work from wherever. I am unable to bring pets into my apartment, however I do have the ability to take dogs to the park, on hikes, and to other fun places! I will cuddle your animals for hours or take them on adventures, depending on what they like to do. I am no stranger to pet induced messes so if I need to clean up an accident or give a bath, I am game. I am also good at administering pills and/or complicated diets to pets.
About: I have taken care of dogs all my life. Growing up my grandma fostered all kinds of pups and that introduced me to the world of pet care. Later on in life I got a job working at a doggy daycare where I learned to take care of all varieties of dogs, ages, breeds, and personalities. I learned to take time and learn the individual dogs; what they need, how they play, what signals to look for, etc. There I also adopted my very own baby, Sugar. I absolutely LOVE dogs and I’ll take care of any like my own:) I’m currently in between jobs, so i’ll have plenty of time to play with your fur-babies!! I’m able to drop in for visits/walks through the week. Times between mon-fri, 8 AM- 8 PM I can easily adapt to different schedules depending on what you need. I have tons of experience with walking all sizes of dogs, taking care of pets in home, etc. Anything you may need:)
About: Friends and family have relied on me to check in with, feeding and playing with their pets. And even sometimes have play dates with my dog. I’m currently trying to find things to keep me busy there out the week/weekends so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups. I’m available during the week and weekends at any time. I have two friendly pets to keep your fur baby company.crate your dog if needed I have a labradoodle. She is two years old and I have a Sphynx cat, which is four years old.

This was my first time utilizes Rover. Not only was Madison super friendly and personable, but her communication and updates on my fur babies was great! I loved knowing that they were taken care of so well while I was away! And the photos of them always made my day!

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 Emporia 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.
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 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.
