“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!”
“This is the second time we have used Caroline. This time she fed and relieved three dogs, one of whom was recovering from disc surgery. She was amazing with all of them. Very communicative and responsible. Would highly recommend this sitter and would use again the next time we need one.”
About: I’ve always grown up with pets, and I have always loved caring for all animals. From friends to family, I’ve done it all in caring for them I can take of all pets during the days. I work mostly nights, so I would be able to watch your pets while you are out at work all day I’d feed your pet, walk them let them do their business outside. Even multiple times a day if needed, can take them to vet appointments, I’m free almost every morning since I work nights
“Bridget was great with my 2 cats! My one cat, Finn doesn't always do great with eating while I'm away so I usually check him with my Ring. That unfortunately didn't work so well with spotty phone coverage in Europe. I did get through to Bridget once and she assured me that all was well. The kitchen was clean and the trash was taken out. Thanks Bridget!”
About: Hi! I’m a veterinary technician with a genuine love for animals and a passion for making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. My veterinary background gives me hands-on experience with both cats and dogs, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I offer drop-in visits to provide your pets with the attention and care they deserve while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, potty breaks, playtime, or simply giving your pet some extra love and companionship, I’m happy to help! I know every pet has their own unique personality, routine, and needs, and I’ll always do my best to make our visits a positive and stress-free experience. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pets are in caring, knowledgeable, and capable hands. I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family! ❤️
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. I've never been without a pet, so caring for them is second nature. For many years I also volunteered as a foster, which taught me how to help nervous, shy, or recovering animals settle in and feel safe. Professionally, I'm a Registered Nurse. That means I'm comfortable giving oral medications, sticking to precise feeding and medication schedules, and noticing subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or energy that could signal a problem. Senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals recovering from surgery are in especially good hands with me. You'll get detailed updates and photos, and I'll follow your routine exactly as you'd do it yourself. My goal is simple: your pet stays calm and comfortable, and you get real peace of mind. I run my own care consulting business, so I have flexibility in my day and can plan visits around your pet's routine rather than squeezing them in. I keep a structured, organized schedule — a habit from nursing — so feedings, walks, and medications happen on time, every time. I'll confirm availability before each booking so I can give your pet my full attention. Your pet's safety is my top priority. My home has a fully fenced-in yard, so dogs can play, explore, and take potty breaks securely without ever being off-leash in an open area. I share my home with Murphy, my well-trained Goldendoodle. He's gentle and submissive, which makes him an easygoing companion for visiting dogs, including shy or nervous ones. He also has his own crate, so I can give each pet individual time and attention and keep things calm when a guest needs space.
About: I've taken care of animals for neighbors, family, and friends for some time. I am reliable and flexible with schedules to accommodate early mornings or late nights. I'm currently part time with a flexible schedule and happy to fit anything I can into it. Just reach out to me and we can discuss the circumstances. I have a fenced yard and a friendly small 40lb labradoodle, with lots of space to sprawl and nap inside the house as well. I live in a neighborhood and have space to take dogs on long or short walks.
“Victoria filled in for my full time dog sitter on short notice. She went out of her way to meet with my dog to prior to booking to make sure they felt comfortable around each other. She is kind, professional and took excellent care of my dog. Great communication, updated me with photos and made sure my house was secure. Highly recommend and hopefully book again when needed.”

We are new to Rover but on another app we have 19 5 star reviews! We are lovers of all animals and have owned cats, dogs, fish, turtles, hedgehogs, mice, hamsters, bunnies, and lizards ! Haley and I work short shifts and opposite schedules, so we are usually available any time of day ! Our jobs are also seasonal so we only work part time in the winter months In a clients home i would make sure the pets are well taken care of, along with getting plenty of exercise and attention! Every dogs needs vary, but we are very accommodating.
About: Hello, my name is Jenny! I have my bachelor's degree in Pre-Veterinary Science and worked as a Vet-Tech for over 4 years. I have experience with senior dogs and can give oral or subcutaneous medications such as diabetes injections or seizure medication. I am able to do nail trims, paw pad fur clipping, ear cleaning, brushing, or simple baths. Also, I have ample experience with stubborn dog breeds such as huskies! I’m currently working from home and can be with your pups as much as they need me to be! I usually will let them out 5-6 times a day to run in the yard. If they need anything else or prefer walks, I can offer them as well! I have a half acre fenced in backyard for your furry friend to run free (perfect for pets that do not have a fenced yard at home). I am set back far from any main roads and live on a farm surrounded by open land. I currently have three huskies that are all dog friendly but if your pup doesn’t really like to play or is older I have two half doors installed in my home to keep my pets separated from your pets if preferred. I also have two entrances to the fenced in yard so they do not have to interact. Dog crates readily available if necessary. My dogs are all up-to-date on vaccines and take monthly heartworm & flea/tick preventatives.
About: I work remotely from my cozy home in Northfield most days a week, and I love furry company! I have a large back yard and live in a calm neighbourhood with lots of treelined streets to walk your pups through. I can also petsit your babies in your own home since my work is remote. I've been taking care of animals for friends for years and just realized I could be doing this more often through Rover! I work remotely and it's very flexible work. I love to take breaks and go out for walks frequently, and if your animal fits on my lap they'll most likely be there most of the time! If they have anxious tendencies I have lots of experience with helping them calm down and feel secure with me. I love to snuggle and will give your animals lots of cuddles and love! I have a big yard where your pup can run on the line. I make sure to feed your animals on time and take them out for frequent walks in my neighbourhood, parks nearby, or at the dog beach!
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.
