“Fantastic, had to book last minute and he saved us from cancelling our trip. Also cleaned up my dogs mess when she puked instead of leaving it like most do. Very much appreciated.”
“Rylee was amazing and made our first time using services from Rover a very pleasant experience.. She provided daily updates and pics of our pets.. We will definitely rebook Rylee in the future when needed..”
“Maddie was a wonderful dog sitter for us! She was able to accept our booking last-minute when our usual sitter wasn't available for a trip. Our dog immediately liked her and I could tell he didn't miss us when we were gone! She was very thoughtful with our 2 cats too even though we only booked her for the dog, and very respectful of our home as well. I have nothing but great things to say about my experience with Madeline- definitely worth booking for your pet!”
“Julie and Elijah and family are the best and dealing with Rover is very easy and a great value. I’m spoiled by the care Ava gets when they care for her and I know she loves them also. I highly recommend Julie for all your pet or house sitting needs. Thanks for everything. Tom n Lisa & Ava 🙏❤️”
About: Hello my name is Sara. I love animals, particularly cats and dogs. I am available every day starting at 6:30 am until 11:30 am, when I go to work, I am then available again after 7:00 pm until whenever necessary. For pet care I normally give a baths once a week to keep them clean and check for fleas. I usually feed twice a day unless the food bowl gets left full and all dogs get walked every two hours. I am also open to alternative schedules. Play time and snuggling are also well appreciated. For communication I prefer phone calls and text messages as my primary form of communication, however I do check my email on a fairly regular basis (at least once a day) so I can communicate that way as well. I will not be inviting anyone into your home while I am caring for your pets. I have a pretty flexible schedule when it comes to work but services in the morning and afternoon fit very well with my current schedule. Outside of having to work I try to keep a similar schedule to what your animals would experience with you when you are home. I feel that dogs and cats do best when they are kept in their routine.
About: I am a pet owner myself. I have a 2 year old puppy, great pyrenees and mount bernese mix, Willow. We adopted her at 8 weeks old and have been happy ever since. I’m currently working part time at a local grocery store. I’m free in the evenings Monday-Wednesdays, available all day Thursdays and Fridays. Available late afternoon Saturdays and Sundays. I’ll follow any instruction that is needed to take care of your pet. I can give baths, play with your pet in the backyard, and I will clean any mess your pet makes. If your animal needs a brush, I don’t mind brushing them. I can give your dog walks around the neighborhood.
About: I’ve grown up in a home full of dogs and have been caring for them for as long as I can remember. Today, I have a sweet female Goldendoodle of my own named Murray, who’s a big part of my life. I also have experience with cat sitting for family and friends. I’m that girl who stops to help a lost pup or cat and won’t rest until I’ve reunited them with their owner. Animals have always had a special place in my heart, and I treat every pet like they’re family. My job allows me to work from home so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pup! I can be available as needed to care for your pet. I care for pets with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether they’re staying in my home or I’m visiting them in theirs, I focus on keeping them comfortable, safe, and happy. I follow any specific routines or instructions you provide—whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, or playtime—because I know how important consistency is for pets. I also make sure to give them plenty of affection and companionship so they feel secure while you’re away.
About: Hi, I’m Shelbee—your pet’s next favorite human (and hopefully your go-to sitter, too)! I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely love getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether your dog loves long walks and endless games of fetch or your cat prefers quiet company and chin scratches, I’m happy to meet them where they’re are and make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I know leaving your pet with someone new can feel stressful because I’d feel the same way! That’s why I focus on making the experience as easy and reassuring as possible. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, plenty of photos, and honest communication, so you’ll never have to wonder how your furry family member is doing. I’m reliable, patient, and detail-oriented, so I’ll happily stick to your pet’s routine, administer basic care exactly as instructed, and make sure they get all the love and attention they deserve while you’re away. My goal is simple: for you to leave feeling completely confident, and for your pet to have so much fun they can’t wait for my next visit. I can’t wait to meet you both! 🐾 I work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 3:30 PM, which makes me available most evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule whenever possible and always aim to be dependable, communicative, and on time. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, a walk, or overnight care, I’ll do my best to accommodate your needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort will always be my top priority. I understand that trusting someone with your fur baby is a big decision, so I treat every pet with the same care, patience, and attention I’d want for my own. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your home clean and secure, and provide regular photo and message updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is for both you and your pet to feel completely comfortable and cared for.
About: Grew up on a farm with 20 dogs. I had my own dogs and have cared for family and friends’ dogs and cats for years. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend quality time with pets throughout the day. Whether it’s keeping them company, going for walks, playing or sticking to their routine. I care for every pet as if they were my own by following their normal routine, including feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications if needed and plenty of love and attentions. I also respect my clients’ home by keeping them clean, secure, and following all instructions to make sure that both pets and owners feel comfortable and at ease.
“Tori made sure our dog got plenty of attention and playtime even with the rain, which really showed how much she cared about making sure he was happy and well cared for. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring hands. We truly appreciated her reliability, kindness, and the extra effort she put in. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pet like family!”
“Hannah was a joy. She's very much an animal lover! I was quite comforted while away that she was checking on my baby and had no problems with what I needed for her to do. I would be a positive reference for her.”
About: My heart is with animals . I treat all animals like they were my own. My little dog is treated like my child and I will take care of yours as well I’m currently working full time but my schedule is very flexible so I can walk your dog/ let them out and feeding times. Whatever their routine is I will take care of your dog/ cat in your home . I can let them out at what times you need with walks and feeding
“Brittney did a wonderful job taking care of our cat, Ziggy. Brittney communicated well, with pictures and updates about Ziggy and our house (there were bad storms while we were away). Ziggy got lots of love, playtime, a clean litter box, and was well-fed everyday.”
About: I've had cats and dogs throughout my life and have always loved caring for animals. Most of my experience comes from caring for my own pets and helping care for family members' pets. I've also cared for animals with special needs, including pets who need medications or special diets. I currently have a Pomeranian of my own, and I'm comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes and personalities (My parents have a large Rottweiler I care for when they are out). I’m happy to follow your pet's normal routine, whether they need a walk, feeding, medication, playtime, or simply some company while you're away. I work full-time during the week, so I offer morning and evening care on weekdays and have more flexibility on weekends. I'll treat your pets with the same care and attention I'd want someone to give mine. I’m primarily available for longer visits and house sitting on weekends. For house sitting, I’m not able to stay at a client’s home continuously during weekday work hours, so I’m best suited for pets who are comfortable being alone for part of the day. I’m always upfront about my schedule so I can give every pet the attention and care they deserve. I work full time during the week, so my weekday availability is mainly early mornings and evenings. I’m also available for visits after work when they fit my commute. Weekends are when I have the most flexibility, so I can spend much more time with your pets and offer longer visits or more hands-on care. I also do school online, so I typically keep Sundays for schoolwork and planning, but im open to short check ins. I do have house sitting active because I can spend good time with your pets on the weekend when I have availability but I CAN NOT stay the night/full time at your home, I have my own pets I have to care for as well so it would be difficult. I have a fenced yard where dogs can get some supervised outdoor time, but the fence is not tall enough for me to consider it escape-proof for larger or athletic dogs. I will always supervise pets while they are outside. If you prefer your dog to stay on a leash, I’m also happy to take them for walks around my neighborhood. I’m careful about following each pet’s routine, instructions, and individual needs.
About: Well, this one I would like to give you the best love and care possible so that your owners leave with the best opinion of me for taking care of your dog Well, give them as much time as possible to be with them and take them out to play and give them affection so that their owners leave happy Well, I take good care of them, I give him his food, I take them to play, I give him enough love, I give him his walk so that the owner feels happy

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 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.
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 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.
