“Hailee was able to come do a drop in check on my pup with less than 24 hrs notice. My dog looked super happy in the photos she took so I know Rook had a nice visit!”
“Caroline took excellent care of our three cats while we were out of town for 9 days, checking in on them twice per day. We have two kittens and one adult cat. The kittens can be quite messy, and require lots of attention. Our adult cat is shy, is very afraid of new people, and doesn’t like her routine disrupted. They all get wet and dry food, and have specific preferences. Caroline followed our detailed instructions for feeding, and kept the house in top shape. She was very patient with our adult cat, and even managed to get her to take some treats. We received detailed feedback and adorable photos from each check in. She was responsive to messages, and reached out with any questions. It gave us peace of mind to know that our cats were in great hands! We highly recommend Caroline, and will definitely rebook in the future!”
About: I am a wildlife scientist with a passion for all animals. I believe that every animal has their own unique personalities and I love getting to know them. Whether caring for birds, dogs, cats (and even octopus!), I provide the same care all animals deserve- a safe environment where they can feel comfortable and confident. A lifelong dog owner, wildlife scientist and lover of all animals. I have a flexible schedule and am able to fit your pets needs in day or night. I will always do my best to accommodate to your schedule- I know some things you can never plan for! I love to spend lots of quality time outside with your pet, encouraging their natural senses and lots of fun play. It is my goal to make your time away from your pet should be as stress free as possible- I am easy to reach, take lots of pictures and will send updates throughout my time with your animals.
“Marlena is fabulous, extremely professional and truly cares about the quality of her work. She updated me with each visit with adorable pics of my two digs and played with them for an extended period of time when it rained too hard for them to go on a walk. She even brought in packages that were at my doorstep and straightened the house. Marlena is a keeper and my pups are excited to have her as their caretaker!!”

About: Experienced caretaker and former nanny - I was employed full-time for my child care and pet care services. Working with both children and animals, I know the importance of keeping a good balance between maintaining a healthy schedule and ensuring there is still time for play, activities & relaxation. My top priorities are keeping the animals I care for safe, loved and happy! I have experience administering medicine and reacting quickly in case of emergencies. This is my current role, so I will have plenty of time to care for your furry friend! I enjoy music, nature, spending time outdoors, staying active & giving a whole lotta love! Activities include: Long walks in nature preserves, hiking destinations and public parks Visiting dog parks (for more social dogs) Playing a game of catch and frissbee (large fenced in backyard) Running, rollerblading, bike riding (especially for high energy dogs) Swimming in reservoirs, lakes and / or the beach (warm weather required) Making sure your dog stays on his / her routine that you've created is essential! I understand the importance of maintaining a healthy schedule for your pup to ensure their health and well being. Aside from the feeding, walking and exercise schedule there will also be plenty of belly rubs, gentle massages, cuddling, petting and boat loads of affection! This is currently my only role / position. This means I have full availability and plenty of time / energy to care for your pet and / or home. As a former professional Nanny, I care for them the way I would care for a child. Safety, respect, care, attention, and lots of love.
About: Hi! I'm spending the summer in Wildwood with my family and have a very flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets. I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family always had pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, and chinchillas, so caring for animals has been a part of my everyday life since I was young. Whether it's going for long walks, playing fetch, giving belly rubs, or just keeping a pet company, I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and getting to know their unique personalities. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, playtime, and house sitting services. I'll make sure your pet gets lots of attention, affection, and care while you're away, and I'll treat them like they're part of my own family. While I can't offer boarding because my family home is already full of furry friends, I'd love the opportunity to care for your pets in the place where they're most comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged family members! I do work a full 9-5 job and am out of the house from 8-6 everyday. I can do nightly dog walking during the weeks and can board dogs for those busy weekend or weekend getaways. I am currently living in a two bedroom apartment. My building is located just across the street from a park where we can go out to run around and play. Pets are allowed on the couch but will not be allowed on the bed.
“Trey does a great job, shows up promptly and communicates well. Sends a picture update each visit. He even defended our Kimi against some unleashed dogs in my neighborhood, he went above and beyond, thanks Trey! We will definitely use his services again.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 17, I started walking dogs for a job years. It’s makes my day to see a dog smile and wag their tail out of happiness from a walk or a boarding. I am an experienced dog mom of 4 big and small dogs who are rescues. Currently a college student looking to help fund my education! I’m currently in college full time with evening classes. I have plenty of time to work with your pets and open flexibility to accommodate your needs and your pets. I have a long road and have a huge yard for your dog to run around and play. I have four dogs of my own to keep your dog company.
About: I have been around dogs all my life, mostly big mutts, and actively caring for the family dog since the age of 10. I trained my parents last 2 labradors (always a fun breed). I have elderly dog experience both with a big malamute/shepherd mix and a diaper wearing rat terrier. So I am used to the individualized care that different dogs need. On the fun side of things, long walks, fetch and tug o war are my specialities! I can groom, bathe, give medications, play, walk, run, snuggle, scratch and provide whatever care you prescribe for your favorite family member! I currently work from home with a flexible schedule so I can run on your schedule. If dog sitting, I only need an couple hours in the afternoon to walk my parents dog. If your pup enjoys other dogs and you are comfortable with it they can come along too. My own 3 year old dog is walked at least 4 times a day. He is a lab so he enjoys long walks and trips to the beach, bay, hiking trails, and dog park. I make sure he gets tug of war time and he loves my cats laser pointer. We keep him supplied with dry food at all times because he does not overeat. He gets wet food once a week and an ample supply of people food whenever anyone is in the kitchen. But this is just how my family cares for our pups. I will strive to interrupt your dog's normal routine as little as possible.
About: Hi, I’m Abby! 🐾 I’ve cared for animals through 4-H and pet sitting alongside my mom, and I’m now starting my own pet care business. I love all animals—furry, scaly, and feathery! From cats and dogs to birds, reptiles, and small animals, I provide dependable, loving care tailored to each pet’s needs. I’ll treat your animals like family and make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away! Pet care has always been a huge part of my life! 🐾 After working full-time at a dog kennel, I decided to follow my passion and start my own pet care business. Now, I’m able to make caring for animals a part of my everyday life! My days and weeks are filled with caring for pets, giving them love and attention, keeping up with their routines, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable while their families are away. I love that my work allows me to meet new animals and build special bonds with each one. 💕 I treat every client’s home with the same care and respect I would my own! 🏡💕 I’m happy to bring in mail, keep things tidy, follow any house routines, and make sure everything is safe and secure. I don’t mind sleeping over and staying with your pets, especially if they’re more comfortable having someone around. My goal is to leave your home just as I found it while making sure your pets feel loved, comfortable, and cared for! 🐾
“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.”
About: I have been taking care of pets (and kids!) for the past 10+ years. I am reliable, trustworthy, and love puppy cuddles. I am looking forward to meeting your fur babies! Hi! I am a full time flight attendant looking to continue my pet services on the side. I am Philadelphia and Jersey Shore based. Every day looks different for me but I can guarantee a pleasant experience for both you and your fur babies should our schedules align. I am available to care for your fur babies in your home but unfortunately cannot care for them in my own home. I always plan a meet and greet before accepting any bookings.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Erma
We had such a wonderful experience with Alayna! She took amazing care of our 15 week old corgi, paid close attention to his routine and individual needs, and made sure he was happy and well cared for. Knowing he was in such good hands gave us so much peace of mind while we were away for our rehearsal dinner and wedding. She kept us updated with pictures and messages throughout his stay, and we could tell our pup was genuinely loved and cared for. I really appreciated that we were able to do a meet and greet before Alaya dog sat. We would absolutely trust her with him again!
I had a wonderful experience with Molly! She was caring, reliable, and attentive. I felt completely comfortable knowing my pup was in such good hands. She kept me updated with photos and messages, and my dog was happy and relaxed when I got home. I highly recommend Molly to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving person to care for their pet!
If my cats could leave a review, they’d probably give her 10 stars! ⭐️ Excellent communication, updates, and she took amazing care of my kitties while I was away. It’s such a relief to know your fur babies are in good hands, and she treated mine like her own. Highly recommend!
Katherine was great. All my instructions were followed and I got my cute daily pictures! She kept in contact if her schedule varied and the kitties were fine when I got home. It's nice to not have to worry when you have a great, responsible person caring for your kids!

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.
