“Alexis was wonderful! She was flexible with our scheduling. When she was delayed, she communicated with us. She was attentive to our kitties. She noticed that our kitty who has feline herpes was having a stress flare up and asked if she could administer his eye drops. She gave us peace of mind while we were away. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking with her in the future.”
About: I have grown up around pets my whole life. I have had many dogs with different personalities and preferences. One of my dogs requires special care so I am very patient and understanding! My cat is also the most spoiled guy you will ever meet so trust me I understand all the little important details that these guys and girls need! I work part time and my schedule varies. I also have weekends off. It is very flexible and can adjust days and times based on what is needed from me. I have a big fenced backyard and my own room as well. If you pet prefers to sleep in a crate we have plenty of space, but I would love to share my bed. Unless the temperature doesn’t allow my dogs personally prefer to be outside but are welcome in but can be in a separate space if needed. Everything is very flexible
About: Growing up on a ranch, I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, horses, and exotic animals—so very little surprises me! 😊 Pet sitting was actually my first neighborhood “business” as a kid, which tells you this has always been more passion than side gig. Being away from home for school these past few years, I’ve dearly missed caring for animals— so this is my way of staying connected to something I love. I’m a naturally curious person and take the time to learn each pet’s personality and routines so I can give them attentive, enriching care while you’re away. 😊 I’ll be working remotely for the foreseeable future, which gives me plenty of flexibility to fit pet care naturally into my day. I can accommodate different feeding and walking schedules, playtime, medication, check-ins, and plenty of attention and companionship throughout the day. Since my work travels with me, I’m also flexible with longer stays and can be around much more than someone working outside the home. I know how important it is to trust someone not only with your pet, but with your home. I take both seriously and will follow your instructions and your pet’s usual routine closely. I’m attentive to changes in behavior, appetite, or energy and always prioritize keeping pets safe, comfortable, and secure. I’m also more than happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away😊
About: I’ve taken care of all types of animals my whole life. I was in 4-H for 8 years and grew up on a ranch. I have volunteered for Canine Companions as well. I have a flexible schedule that allows me plenty of time to care for, play with, and love on your pups! Whether it’s early morning cuddles, midday potty breaks, or evening walks, I make sure your pet feels happy, safe, and well cared for throughout the day. When caring for pets in your home, I do everything I can to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable in their own space. I stick closely to your pet’s routine, whether that includes feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, or medication. I take the time to get to know your pet’s personality and preferences to ensure they feel calm and cared for while you’re away. I’m respectful of your home and treat it like my own—clean, secure, and full of love for your furry family member.
About: Hi, I grew up in a pet household and have 10+ years caring for multiple dogs and cats. I have some experience administering medicine as well. I telework Wednesday- Friday and have most weekends available to walk or drop-in with your pet! I am available after 4:30pm on the weekdays and open on the weekends. If you’re close enough to me I could even drop in during the day on a weekday. I would treat your pets the same way I treat my own, like family. I understand the potential stress that can come when your pet meets someone new and am ready to make the effort to gain their trust.
About: I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years and have experience with both dogs and cats. I understand that every pet is different, and I’m patient, attentive, and happy to follow their individual routines. Whether they need walks, playtime, feeding, cuddles, or simply some company, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own. I am a fourth grade teacher so my schedule for work is 7:00am-3:00pm. I am available after work for daily walks. If you need a house sitter I would be away for those hours. I love to play with pets and take them on walks around the neighborhood. I also love to snuggle if they’re up for it! I love seeing animals different personalities.
About: Hello! I have always loved taking care of animals, I have pet sat recently for my cousin, I used to pet sit for my neighbor before I moved, I’ve taken care of my own pets since I was a kid, and I’m experienced with both cats and dogs! I do work, but I have days off, and I don’t always work all day, I’ll know my schedule ahead of time, so I’d be be transparent with my availability. I’m always off on weekends though! Of course I’d talk to you about the pets routine, whether it be feeding or even bathroom times depending on your animal, and from there I’d make sure all the requirements are met! I’d play, and of course make sure I supervise your pet! I’ll make sure to follow any rules owners may have!
About: I have about 10 years of experience in caring for cats and dogs. Reliable, and passionate pet sitter. Ready to love your furry family member I’m available for boarding Monday through Friday after 4 PM. Saturday and Sunday any time. I work part time so I have plenty of time to play. I provide a calm and welcoming home where pets can feel comfortable. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest.
“Alexus is a great option for drop-in visits: she is friendly, reliable, communicative, and most importantly, great with animals! My pup looks forward to her visits, cannot recommend her enough!”
About: I love animals and would love to help you watch yours if you're out or take them on walks for you! I had a German-Shorthaired Pointer/Labrador mix for 11 years, he passed away recently but brought years of joy and experience with a highly-energetic dog. I recently got my first cat, and I have lived with several other dogs and cats. I do not have any professional experience grooming or dealing with animals, but I am more than willing to help out with letting dogs out, taking them on walks, etc. I definitely have plenty of experience walking dogs because of my little guy. I look forward to hearing from you soon! I currently have quite open availability, almost any day and time should work with some notice, and I will try to make it work regardless. I have a fenced-in yard where a dog can go outside/play fetch. I have 1 cat, but he can be kept in a separate area of the house if preferred.
“Emily is an angel! She was able to accommodate checking in on our pup SO last minute and even rearranged her personal schedule to get to him sooner. 😭💕 she always takes the cutest pictures of him and he LOVES her! She’s amazing!!”
“Sabrina did a great job caring for my cats! My timid cat that hides from everyone spent time with her so that says a lot about how great she is with animals. Definitely recommend her services”
About: Growing up on the farm, there was no shortage of canines in my life starting very early. Companions, service dogs, working dogs, strays who wandered up and never left, I’ve taken care of almost every shape and size of dog! Starting with the chocolate lab I saved up for from my local rescue at 8 years old, to my most recent geriatric chihuahua, I love them all! I’m an artist with a very flexible schedule looking to fill a need in my community! I can accommodate nearly every shape and size of situation—especially holidays and last minute bookings! As someone with very high standards, I only wish to provide the services that I absolutely expect for my pets! You can always count on me to follow your instructions thoroughly and to the letter; your pet’s healthy and safety and your satisfaction as an owner is of the utmost importance to me!
About: Animals have always been my passion! Ever since I was 13, I've taken care of many different kinds of animals, from scaley to furry; I've handled it all. I can dog walk, come to your home to pet or house sit, or stop by to let your dog out. You name it, I can do it! I live with 3 cats, and they all love attention! I also care for my dog and cat at my mother's as well when I can. I'll feed your pet, bathe your pet, take your pet to potty, play with your pet, and, of course, love on your pet! Animals are precious and always deserve love and attention.
About: I personally have had two dogs for 10 years whom I have cared for with pure love and attention. I have taken care of family pets as well when out of town to ensure pets still feel like a human is there to support and love them. Pets are just as much family as humans and I wholeheartedly believe that! I have a lot of time on my hands since I am currently unemployed out of choice and I am just looking to make work feel fun again before jumping back into full workforce again. I keep a close eye on pets in clients homes to ensure they are abiding by house rules while still getting to enjoy their time at home. I know sometimes dogs can be runners because I have one so I am always vigilant about doors and where they’re going to lead to. Dogs are sneaky and smart and that’s what makes them so fun but sometimes they get up to trouble so I ensure they stay on their best behavior by redirecting.
About: I’ve taken care of puppies, kittens dogs and cats of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors friends and family have relied on me to check in, feed and play with their pets. I am currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups and or cats. I am available to care for your pet or pets on weekends, weekdays and holidays. I cannot currently board animals at my home due to various reasons. I will be sure to offer that if I can in the future. Thank you.
About: All my life I’ve had animals . I’ve had everything from Min Pins to Pitties. They rely on us and deserve the best care and environment. I am currently a stay at home mom. I am home all day except to drop off and pick up my child from school. Weekends are usually spent at home relaxing in the backyard. I have a fence in backyard with a doggy door that allows animals to come and go through out the day. I let dogs on the couch to cuddle. 🥰
“Teresa is a very thorough sitter. We use her to do drop-ins for our cats when we are gone for extended periods of time. She will check and make sure the cats get some attention and sends lots of pictures of them with each check in. She also makes sure the cats have water, food, and clean litter boxes. I would definitely recommend her for animal check ins.”

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
