“Breanna was fantastic and our dogs love her! She is always very quick to respond and therefore met our urgent needs when we needed her most. We appreciate her and will be using her again in the future!”
“Meghan is amazing and all over her time stamps are so detailed, they make me laugh as she describes our pups personalities so well! Thank you as always Meghan, we appreciate you more than you know!”
“Autumn did a wonderful job of caring for our dogs and cat. We have an elderly dog who needs insulin injections and a lot of special attention when it comes to feeding, etc., and Autumn was great. We would definitely book her again in the future!”
“Rachel was an amazing sitter for my cats! My eldest recently became diabetic and this was the first time I left him since his diagnosis. She came on time every day, twice a day to give him his insulin and sent lots of pictures which gave me reassurance. Highly recommend!”
“Jacqueline was excellent. She took care of our 3 dogs over a long weekend. She was super communicative and always gave status updates and pics. Highly recommend!”
“Callie is just the sweetest pet sitter! Not only did she provide tons of cuddles and play, she even left a treat jar for Bailey and a thank you card after she was gone. What a sweet sentiment! Bailey appreciated the treats so much! And the thank you card was so sweet! Thank you Callie for that extra special touch! We will be sure to use her services in the future!”
“Cathy could not have been a better sitter. She was communicative, stuck to the routine and went the extra mile for us. I’m so glad I booked her for our weekend travels and wouldn’t hesitate to book her again in the future. Would recommend her to anyone!”
“Amy was wonderful. She was affectionate and you could tell that she loved animals. She sent pictures of my puppy when she got there and while she was playing . I would recommend Amy and I will use her again.”
“Caroline went above and beyond for us when our vacation turned tragic with the sudden illness and passing of my grandmother-in-law that required multiple changes of plans to accommodate the changing situation. She was extremely flexible when our vet informed us that she recommends daily visits rather than every two days after a behavioural checkup right before our trip. Then, there was Grandma’s situation, where Caroline quickly accommodated adding one more day, and then, as the situation progressed, went to great lengths to ensure we were covered no matter what for an additional 3 days. Not only that, but she gave Lucy plenty of love and ensured she was well taken-care-of. To top it all off, she also took the cutest photos and brought in our packages. House was super clean when we got back. We’ll definitely be using her again”
“Jada is excellent. Quick and painless with watching my beloved babies. Toward the end of the visit my VERY standoffish girl that usually stays away from people offered some cuddles which was pretty much a stamp of approval. Attentive, quick, and made sure to come on time to feed my babies. Will be booking again.”
“Paz was very responsible and timely. She showed kindness to the cats, cleaned up after them, made sure they had food and water. One of my cats needs a medicated eye-drop regularly and Paz was confident in her ability to administer the eye-drop. I would hire her again.”
About: I have experience with many animals from working at a vet in the past. I have owned cats and a dog. I have pet sit for several families including caring for a bunny I currently work part time so I have lots of availability to care for your pets. Besides caring for my own pets I have cared for several families pets while they were away I can make several drop ins during the day to care for your pets. I can also walk your dogs and/or play with your pets in your home.
About: I’ve always been the go to, reliable and trustworthy person to help care for my friends and family’s’ animals. I care for my own dog Izzy as well as three other animals in my house! I currently am working part time as a server so my schedule is open to helping others! I’m very flexible and have my own car! I have two dogs and two cats I care for in my home, we also have two crates for the dogs if needed. I also have a fenced in yard!
About: From puppies to older dogs, I've done it all: taking puppies out every 2 hours at night, specific medications at certain times throughout the day, to planned walks/runs. I have experience with puppy training fostering and now I'm training my own kitten. I'm a senior college student who has a lot of time to spare- especially on weekdays! I'm always available to take dogs on walks, jogs, or just for a quick little stop in. Treating fur-babies like my own has always been an easy feat for me. When it comes to home saftey, whether it be my own or a clients, simple communication goes a long way. House rules, schedules and specifications are always a big thumbs up from me!
About: I’ve had pets my whole life, as have my friends and family, so I’ve been surrounded by them for years! Both dogs and cats. More recently, I have been cat sitting just because two of my best friends have cats (4 in total) so whenever they go away, I jump on the opportunity to watch them! I’m comfortable spending quality time, feeding, and playing with them; keeping litter boxes fresh; and even cleaning up if that’s something that’s necessary. My family dog is part pit so she’s very strong-chested which makes walking her a challenge but that just means I have the ability to walk a challenging dog. I’ve learned to slow down on my walks with her lately because those walks are really the only time she gets to explore the world so I let her take her time and I’ll let your furry friends do the same 🐾 I know how much our pets mean to us, so I’ll always treat yours like family and make sure they get plenty of love and attention on my watch! I’m currently working freelance, which means I don’t have a set schedule and can work around pretty much anything. I will have plenty of time to walk dogs/do pop-ins at any time of the day, even if you are in need of some help last-minute! I am very attentive when caring for the pets in my life! They all have their individual needs. When I'm walking my dog, I am always watching our surroundings & will cross the street if another dog is coming our way to keep some distance, especially since my girl is sometimes reactive. With the cats, I also pay close attention to things... like eating habits for example. The one friend I catsit for has three cats: one of which is picky to begin with and the other two who like to steal her food so I keep a watchful eye every time they eat to make sure everyone is getting to eat in peace!
About: My three years of experience have taught me that every dog possesses a unique personality and set of needs. I prioritize your pet's comfort and happiness by treating them as if they were my own. My approach centers on maintaining a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, whether that involves strict adherence to dietary schedules or managing high-energy play. I hold certifications in Experience with senior pets and Experience with special needs pets. I remain calm during emergencies, prioritizing quick, responsible decision-making while keeping you fully informed. I am punctual, kind, and empathetic, and I truly enjoy helping shy dogs come out of their shells. With my own reliable transportation, I am ready to provide your dog with the dedicated care they deserve. I look forward to treating your beloved companion with the same love and attention I give my own. I have a flexible schedule and am available for dog walks throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I understand that every dog has different needs, and I’m happy to work with your schedule to provide reliable, consistent walks and plenty of exercise, attention, and care. Animals have always been a part of my family, and I care for every pet as if they were my own. My childhood dog lived to be 15 years old, and I was there to help care for him throughout his life, especially in his senior years when he needed extra support. He was truly my best friend and taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and attentive care. Today, I care for my own dog and cat every day by feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they are happy and healthy. I walk my dog before and after work and throughout the day as needed, and I enjoy spending quality time playing with both my dog and cat. I have a genuine love for animals, but dog walking is something I especially enjoy. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities, and I will treat them with the same care and attention I give my own pets.

Rachel was an amazing sitter for my cats! My eldest recently became diabetic and this was the first time I left him since his diagnosis. She came on time every day, twice a day to give him his insulin and sent lots of pictures which gave me reassurance. Highly recommend!
Callie came for a meet and greet. My dog was belly up and waggy very quickly. We decided immediately that we found our sitter. She is bubbly and eager and has good attention to detail. I have a few rules.. they were followed explicitly. We have decided to do weekly drop ins leading up to an overnight. Callie has been here and our pup loved her time with her. I can relax knowing she’s in good hands
Robyn is an absolute delight to us! She takes her job even more seriously than I could expect, and goes above and beyond in all ways. She is so good at caring for all our pets, kitty, toad, and turtle. Then she gives corn to the deer that come through our property! She follows every instruction perfectly, and is extra conscientious. We are so happy to have her help us when we are away!
So grateful to have Kaylee watch our cat once again. We got very detailed updates about her every visit, and she was very content by the time we got home, which was a huge relief. Kaylee takes incredible care of our pets and our home. Thank you so much for taking such good care of Lyra & giving us peace of mind! ❤️
Ashley was wonderful. I am very happy we hired Ashely to look after our cat while we were away; she is reliable, provides photo updates, and she appeared to express real affection for our cat, which enabled us to relax knowing that Finn was cared for in our absence.
Chelsea and John were very considerate, kind, and took really great care of my pup!! Even helped me out in a bind during the snow storm. My pup was a happy camper and I was relieved to have someone watch her during the unplanned snow storm. I will definitely use their services again.

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 Essington 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.

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.
