“Teresa was an excellent pet sitter for our two dogs. She is warm and responsive. She communicated regularly with photos and texts, followed all directions and anticipated the dogs needs during storms and fireworks. So glad we had her stay and do stop in visits instead of using the kennel. Our house was left as we left it and she watered my plants.”
About: I have had dogs around all my life. We have had the pets of many friends overnight over the course of the past 10 years. We love pets and will love your like our own while you are away. My wife and I work full time from home. We love to take walks during the day at all times of the year. We also have a 14 year old son and 10 year old daughter who will give lots of love. We have a large house with 2 active kids to keep your pets company. Our neighborhood has many friendly dogs and access to paths for walking.
“We are new to the app and were in a pinch, needed a drop in visit for our puppy. Lindy and Seth responded quickly and gave step by step updated along the way. Highly recommended!!”
About: Savannah here! I have three dogs and an orange kitty. I’ve been around animals my entire life and absolutely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for senior dogs and pets that may need a little extra patience, attention, and love. I’ve also been around dog breeding for 10+ years, which has given me experience with dogs of all ages and personalities. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I’m happy to provide care that fits their needs! My services include: •30 minute dog walks include a fun stroll around your neighborhood to help your pup get fresh air, exercise, and a little adventure during the day. •30 minute drop-ins include potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and of course plenty of love to make sure your pet is comfortable while you're gone. You can book up to three drop-ins per day! Every pet is different, so I’m always happy to accommodate extra needs or customize visits to fit your pet’s routine. My availability is flexible, feel free to reach out with your preferred dates and times! • I always offer a (free) 10-minute meet-and-greet before any drop-in or walking service. This gives us a chance to meet, helps your pet get familiar with me, and lets us go over their routine and any other needs. Meet-and-greets are not required to book with me, they are simply available if you’d like a little extra comfort and peace of mind before our first visit!
“Kristin was wonderful and made it very clear that she cared about our kitty and his wellbeing! He is on medication right now and doesn’t cooperate very well, but she was able to get it in him :) would definitely recommend booking her. Thank you, Kristin!!”
“Heidi watched my two cats when I had to be out of town on short notice for a funeral. She was amazing. One of cats needs a daily medication, and she jumped right in and made me feel super comfortable about it. I think what I also really appreciated was that she gave me honest updates. For example, the first night Binx was kind of a goob about letting her get into his ear, but then he got better after she was around a bit. I think I prefer that as opposed to "everything is great!" I was also mortified when I didn't get my hungryroot box canceled, and she graciously put everything in the fridge for me. I felt so comfortable with them under her care, I could even relax on the day of the funeral and not be constantly checking my phone for a rover card! When I got home, my cats were chill and well cared for. I will definitely use her again.”
“Emma was amazing. Very communicative, kind, and loving with our two cats. It was such a gift to have her watch our girls and gave me the peace of mind I needed to truly enjoy our vacation. I am so grateful for her!”
“Paige did a great job with our two cats, stopped in daily at the same time and played with and fed them, cleaned the litter box and sent us daily updates and photos, and all went well! And the best thing was, unlike other times when we've been gone, the cats had no behavioral issues, didn't chew anything up or leave poop surprise anywhere to show their defiance-- everything was normal when we got home and they seem perfectly content :)”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my cat in Samantha’s care. She went above and beyond in making sure he was cared for and even entertained with top notch playtime during her visits!”
About: Experience raising a puppy. I cater to pups of all sizes and energy levels. My dog is not in a crate but we did crate train him I have a flexible work schedule that allows me to work from home most days. I anm available for potty breaks, walks, snuggles, or playing fetch. I have a large, unfenced yard but I do have a long lead we can use if necessary. I can use a crate if your dog is crate trained. I’m familiar to and accommodating of specialty diets. Rico and I love walks and running at the dog park down the road!
“Catherine was wonderful with our cats! Patient, attentive and sent sweet daily updates and pictures. She eased our worries while being away and provided lots of comfort for our boys. Thank you Catherine ♥️”
About: I’ve worked with a lot of different kinds of dogs big and small. I took a few classes with a guide dog company to learn to train dogs that are reactive. I have a puppy I’m raising who would love to meet your animals. I have to take care of my puppy and adding another dog to the schedule isn’t very hard for me to do. Every morning we go to the dog park and get some energy out after breakfast. I have a puppy that loves to hangout and play with all dogs. We do a lot of walking and go to the dog park every morning to get some energy out.

Heidi provided great photos and text updates about my cats while visiting them. She helped me feel like I knew what was going on with my cats even though I wasn’t home. I got pictures showing her playing with my cats, cuddling with them, and even just showing where they were. She even managed to interest my shy cat to come out from hiding under the bed to see what she was doing in the basement. I will definitely rebook with her when I am going out of town. I knew my cats were well taken care of and that she enjoyed spending time with them.

Maria did okay with my cat Polly. Maria played with Polly and Polly seemed comfortable with her. Polly's food scoop was left in a different location than it started and her water bowls weren't refilled, which is why I docked a star. I would trust Maria to watch Polly again and improve.

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 Excelsior 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.
