“Couldn’t have asked any more from Kaitlyn. It was so nice to have reassurance that our cat was okay and that the house was fine while we were gone. We had some things go awry around the house and Kaitlyn was super responsive in helping fix it.”
“Tanya was amazing and very thorough! She made sure my fur baby was comfortable and taken care of while I was gone. She was also very accommodating when my trip got cut short and i ended up coming home earlier than expected. I would definitely choose her to take care of my pet again!”
“Nora was amazing! This was my first time leaving my 6 month old kitten. Nora was so good with her and her updates and photos were a real comfort to me while I was away. Thank you Nora !”
“Forrest was great! He made an initial visit to my house with me present so that my dogs would get acclimated to him, which I appreciated. He was very communicative about when he would be arriving for the scheduled visits and was timely. He always provided multiple pictures of my pups during each visit. I definitely recommend Forrest and will likely hire him again for whenever we need my dogs sitted!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind and cats since I was 15. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, bathe, groom, and train their pets. I work from home and have full availability to care for and play with your pets! I’m available for day care, boarding, house sitting, dog or cat walking, occasional checks ins for feeding and play. I care for pets as if they were my own. I will diligently follow owners instructions and cater to each pets needs. I have experience with dog training and can easily implement tricks for all temperaments and breeds. The only thing you would have to worry about is your pet not wanting to go back home because they have such a great time with us 😊
“Marcus was great! He was very flexible with my changing plans and took great care of my kitty. He was reliable, communicative, and I felt very comfortable knowing my cat was in good hands. Would definitely recommend him!”
“Juliana responded promptly to my request and was able to feed my cats within just 2 hours of my sitter having an emergency. Complete with pictures of my babies and able to meet the needs of all three of my cats, I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again. Nothing is more valuable than peace of mind and she provided that!”
“Buckley has been so great with our little puppy. She is always on time and spends plenty of time with her (even helps train her!). I love the update pictures and it’s a relief to know she’s being taken good care of while I’m away!”
“Shirley is an amazing sitter! One of the more thoughtful ones we’ve had based on the questions she asked. My dog did incredibly well under her care and we will certainly book with her again!”
“I cannot recommend Kati enough! She was super professional, calm, and won over my reactive, aggressive-leaning dog in no time. She handled my puppy’s messes without hesitation, and both dogs absolutely loved spending time with her. Knowing they were in such good hands gave us total peace of mind, and we will definitely be using her again in the future. I would recommend Kati to anyone looking for a top-tier dog sitter!”
“Kayla took great care of our puppy! She came over before hand to meet her and was really attentive to her needs on each visit. I felt so comfortable knowing she was checking in on my puppy when I couldn't!”
“I couldn’t be more happy! She loved my babies as her own. This was our very first time using Rover. It was simple and easy. She made me feel relaxed over the last few days. I didn’t have to worry about the dogs. She also sent pictures, which I loved! Most definitely will use her again!”
About: I'm very flexible, and have lots of experience with dog training/behavior and general animal care. I have volunteered at shelters, worked with dogs on farms, fostered, and even worked with service dogs! I also exept small animals, reptiles, exotics, etc. Everything furry, scaly, or feathery is welcome! I won't be able to offer boarding in my own home at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience! I'll be available to house-sit, do drop-ins, walks, and light training and grooming for those that need help with it. I treat all animals according to their needs, emotionally, psychologically, physically, and with unending patience. I'm a researcher by nature, and have acquired a lot of knowledge on all types of pets and wildlife.
“Amanda is doing a great job for us thus far! We have two large dogs who can be high-energy until they get used to you. Amanda has handled them very well, been super communicative, and very easy to work with. We look forward to using her for ongoing drop-ins!”
“Megan took great care of kitties while I was on vacation. She was on time to our meetings beforehand, is quick to respond and even got the stamp of approval from my super shy kitty who hides from EVERYONE, but actually came out the very first time Megan came over! I knew I was them in great hands! I totally recommend Megan and will absolutely be booking her again!”
“Ana does a great job with our rescue pup! We have had a few dog sitters refuse to care for our dog because of her breed (she’s probably a pittie or staffie mix), but Ana was fully comfortable and confident to care for our sweet girl. She is sometimes timid with new people at first, but Ana evidently makes her feel really comfortable and I can tell (cameras in the house) that our dog is excited whenever Ana comes to care for her. We have been trying to find a good dog sitter that’s not only great with our dog, but also responsive, responsible, and trustworthy. We are grateful to have found Ana!”
“This was our first time using a dog sitter for our 2 dogs, and we were a little nervous because our small dog can be spicy, but Maddy was great with them! We loved getting the updates, and it looks like the pups were happy for Maddy to drop in. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fair Oaks
Kaitlyn was amazing. I have heard of the Rover company but never needed outside help. The pre-meeting with Kaitlyn set my mind at ease. She made me feel so comfortable with the process. I knew my dogs would be in good hands. I came home to two happy girls and a house well cared for! I appreciate everything she did for the dogs and for me.
Bryce was absolutely phenomenal with my Mastiff. From the moment we met, it was clear that he genuinely loves and understands dogs. My Mastiff is a big part of my family, and Bryce cared for him as if he were one of his own. Throughout the stay, Bryce was attentive, reliable, and incredibly compassionate. He kept me updated, made sure my dog was comfortable, well-exercised, and happy, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It's not easy trusting someone else with a giant breed, but Bryce handled everything with confidence and care. When I picked up my dog, he was relaxed, content, and clearly had been treated with love and attention the entire time. That says everything. Bryce goes above and beyond, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and genuinely caring dog sitter. If you're considering Bryce, don't think twice. Your dog will be in amazing hands.

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.
