“Tasha did drop-in visits for my elderly dog Brewster and was excellent. Senior dogs need patience and attention to the little things, and she never missed a beat, stuck to his routine, was gentle with him, and kept me updated every visit. Brewster was relaxed and happy, and I never had to wonder how he was doing. If you have an older dog, Tasha is the one. Highly recommend.”
“Harry did an excellent job in taking care of our babies We appreciated the daily updates as Mom was worried. We will definitely use him again. Thanks for the care and service.”
“We had to leave our furbaby, Mitchell, for two weeks and faced a tough decision: cat boarding or a Rover sitter. After a traumatizing trial at a boarding facility, we knew Mitchell would be much happier at home with someone he could trust — Ella!! Ella did a fantastic job caring for Mitchell, ensuring he felt loved and comfortable during our time away. She followed our instructions perfectly and kept us updated with regular check-ins. Their bond has grown so strong that Mitchell looks forward to her visits, and they’ve become the best of friends. Leaving your pet can be stressful, but with Ella, we felt completely at ease. We’re so grateful for her care and expertise, and we’ll definitely reach out to her the next time we need a sitter. Thank you, Ella, for making our time away so much easier!”

About: I think I’m kind I don’t like to see animals in their kennels. I like them to be able to play and sleep wherever they want in my home. i’m currently thinking about opening up Dog care business and I want more experience. I love being with my dog. So I’d love to help people out with their dogs on the weekends. I know it’s hard for people to find good loving caring people. I have a fenced yard. I treat the dog with love like they’re my children! I will let them in my home, roaming free! And lots of affection
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds. I currently have a two-year-old Yellow Lab who is the sweetest pup I have ever had. She is extremely friendly and loving and is great with other dogs and cats. I currently have a pretty open schedule with my online classes, so I am home most of the time, dogs have access to the backyard at almost all times and are always being watched and monitored for safety. Dogs are taken on walks to nearby parks and around the neighborhood and rides around to the dog park. dogs are fed separately and are fed on a schedule and always have access to lots of fresh water. I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!

“Josephine went above and beyond for us looking after our two cats while we were away during the holidays. She was always super communicative and provided updates for us on how they were doing each day. I would 100% recommend her for any pet sitting and will definitely be using her to watch after our cats again!”
“Karyna took great care of my cat Wilson. Last minute holiday plans came up and she went above and beyond to ensure Willie was comfortable. Thank you so much, I’m so appreciative.”
About: I’m the person you’ll find in the corner at a party hanging out with the dog (or cat). I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, have experience pet sitting and walking, and adopted both of my pets. I also trained my dog, Pinto, myself, so I have hands-on experience with training, routines, and plenty of different dog behaviors. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, and I’ll always treat yours with the same care and attention I give my own. I also haven’t met a pet I couldn’t win over yet! I recently moved to the area from Washington, so my schedule is currently very flexible! I’m especially available during the week for anyone who needs someone to check in on their buddy while they’re at work. Whether it’s a midday walk, potty break, playtime, or just some company, I’m happy to make their day a little less lonely while you’re away. I’ll treat your home and pets with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, walks, or just keeping them company. I’ll always make sure your pet is safe and comfortable and your home is left just as I found it. I’m also happy to send plenty of photos and updates so you know how your buddy is doing!

This is second time that we booked our baby Tucker with Allyson. She took wonderful care of baby for 7 days. They followed our exact feeding and daily routine. We got daily photo updates, and our dog came home happy and calm. She even bought additional bag of his food when the feed is running out. She is very thoughtful that I don’t have to rush to the store after I am back. I am very grateful to have her as our dog sitter. We would rebook anytime!"
Kristin was very communicative with updates on our cats. She was very sweet and took care of them very well. One of our cats who is a senior and is shy took to liking her very much. Also very prompt, on time with each visits, and great with the taking care of each individual cat's needs. As a first time user on rover, she was a gem.
Wow! Did we get lucky with Rocelyn!! We decided to leave last min out of town and we were soooo fortunate to have found Rocelyn and her having availability! Especially on 4th of July weekend! Our little pup freaks over fireworks so we also needed someone that could help her feel secure and that’s exactly what Rocelyn did! Plus she helped clean the doggies area which was a huge help, something we didn’t ask her to do but she did it out of kindness!! So sweet. We felt our pups were very happy and had a blast with her as she came in to check on them. There was a lot of communication, pictures shared and overall we very good experience! Will book again!
Cristina was wonderful!! We had a change in schedule at the last minute but, she was able to assist. She communicated extremely well through the whole process, took pictures and provided great notes. When we got home, we returned to what we expected, Excited Pets!!! We will be using Cristina again in the future!

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 .

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 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.
