“Joanne was always timely and did a great job caring for the 3 cats. Meal times are difficult as we have one cat who is very food-driven and will eat the other cats portions of given the chance, and another cat who prefers eating at a more leisurely pace. But Joanne figured it out and provided great care to all. We got photos of the cats in all their favorite perches and detailed reports on their activity. Highly recommended.”
“If you have a pet you love, Krista is the bomb!! She came in and loves my Kala like she’s her own!! She sends me so many pics of my happy girl and I’m so glad I took a shot with her!!”
“Hope is a very nice and responsible sitter. My dogs love her. One of my dog Vishaka is stranger unfriended. But she gradually accepted and love her. She begged her to pet the last few sitting days. Hope messaged me and sent pictures everyday during the sitting. Thanks to Hope, my family were able to enjoy the vacation and no worries of the dogs.”

“Weslyn was a true stress reliever while I was gone. She consistently checked in on my cat and provided me the peace of mind that my girl was safe and happy. Weslyn was timely and always provided very nice photos with updates on how my cat was doing. I couldn’t recommend her more!”
“Emma did drop in visits with my very timid rabbit and was awesome with her. She was very reliable, thoughtful and patient, ensuring my rabbit was healthy and well cared for, reporting on each visit and sending photos. I will definitely request Emma again and highly recommend her.”
About: With extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, I specialize in providing structured, stress-free care tailored to each animal's unique needs. What sets me apart: Puppy Care: I have the patience and consistency required to help reinforce potty training, crate routines, and basic obedience for young, high-energy pups. Senior Care: I am deeply compassionate and detail-oriented, making me highly capable of managing strict feeding schedules, administering medications, and providing the gentle, slow-paced care older pets need. Dependability: I am punctual, highly communicative, and strictly follow all care instructions provided by owners to ensure a seamless transition for your pets. Pet care fits seamlessly into my week. I prioritize the pets I watch by adapting my daily schedule to match their established home routines. Whether you need regular weekday drop-ins, weekend care, or extended visits, I dedicate ample time each day to ensuring feeding stations are clean, medications are administered on time, and your cats get plenty of attention and playtime. If your pet stays in my home, they will be entering a thoroughly pet-proofed, secure, and clean environment. I am highly safety-conscious, meaning all potentially hazardous materials are securely stored, and exterior doors and windows are strictly monitored to prevent any escapes. I provide plenty of safe, quiet spaces for pets to retreat and relax if they feel overwhelmed. I closely supervise all activities and make sure your pet has constant access to fresh water, clean litter boxes, and engaging toys in a totally hazard-free zone.
“Jasmine was very good with Oliver. She came over prior to our departure to get the particulars, she showed up on time and took care of our doggo. I was weary about using this app having a stranger in my home. But I must say Jasmine was deluge and I look forward to utilizing her services in the future.”
“Emma did everything we asked her to do with our energetic dog. She messaged us after every visit and took pictures to send to us. This was our first experience with Rover and we are very pleased. Hope to get Emma to set with our puppy again.”
“Veronica was extremely easy and flexible to work with! She was able to accommodate last minute changes and a last minute booking when my original plans fell through. I knew my dogs were well taken care of!”
“Elsa cared for our cats last week and did a great job with them. She followed instructions to ensure they got enough water, dry food, their daily canned dinners, and fresh tap water dribbled from the one specific bathroom sink that they drink out of it's clear that Elsa spent time visiting and playing with them since they were not starving for attention when we returned. Door was locked, house was as clean as we left it, and most importantly, the cats were healthy and happy. Success!”
About: I’ve spent half my life on a horse ranch. Throughout my life, I’ve had dogs, cats, horses, cows, and more. I love animals. I’ve had brand new puppies to senior dogs. I can do any of the care you need, from giving medication to helping them walk outside. 😊 Currently, I’m solely focused on taking care of my five-month-old puppy at home, which leaves me with a very flexible schedule. I’m more than happy to take care of your dogs if you need someone to do so. ☺️ I have a fenced backyard for my five-month-old puppy, and I play with him and take him in the car wherever I go. I’ve taught him basic obedience, including kennel training and potty training. I love my puppy so much! He definitely has a personality and is a bit of a goofball most of the time. 😆

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 .

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 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.
