“It was such a relief to have a sitter who gave us updates and we could tell when he was there. Much better then having a friend of my husbands doing it. I could tell by the updates my old gal really grew to be comfortable with Andrew🐶. When I got home too she wasn't overly obsessed and attached like she usually is, this tells me she got the attention she needed!! Would definitely use again 😁”
“We needed a very last minute drop in visit for our two kiddos and Chella was to the rescue! She was very flexible and able to come meet Gabby and Romeo to learn what they needed. As well as visiting them when we needed. Gabby and Romeo looked very comfortable in the photos she shared with us from her drop in visit.”
“Very happy with Rover service, contacted Julie at short notice and she was totally understanding, arrived on time, above and beyond service, cleaned litter box, food and water bowls, cleaned floor, better than when I left, she played with my cat and sent pictures, superb service I will definitely recommend Rover and Julie, you can feel safe your pet is in good hands”
“Paola was amazing! She was available short notice and took great care of our pups as well as provided plenty of photos, and love to our pups! We will definitely be using her again! Thank you Paola!!”

“Tracy did an excellent job caring for my achnauzers. She was attentive, responsible, and went above and beyond by keeping the crate area clean and organized after every visit.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! Since I was a kid, I’ve had real responsibilities caring for my four dogs. I also help neighbors with pet care while they were away, from feeding to walking. Last summer, I worked at pet paradise as a playtime coordinator. In this role I supervised play groups, read body language, and made sure every pet was safe and having fun. I’m a recent graduate from UF and my schedule is very flexible right now. I’m dedicating time to study for the LSAT, but that gives me a consistent routine at home, which makes me a reliable option for regular walks, drop ins, or longer sits. Your pets safety is my top priority, and I’ve take multiple online courses on this for my previous pet care job. I stay alert and know how to stop signs of discomfort or stress. I always follow specific care instructions from the parents. If anything unexpected comes up, I communicate right away, I treat every pet as if they’re my own!
“Giovanna and her husband are the absolute best. I was gone during the winter freeze and they took time out of their holiday season to check on my cat. They assured me that they took extra procautions for the storm and went out of their way to make sure my cat was safe. They are the best and they are the only two I feel comfortable leaving my little man with!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats most of my life, I own 2 dogs and 5 cats of my own! The rest of my family owns pets of all kinds, so I’ve grown up around all types of animals. I’ve spent a lot of time helping out friends and family when they need someone to watch their pets, I’m always a go to for them! I’m always willing to do whatever is needed of me when it comes to helping out with animals. I have experience with dogs and cats all the way from puppy to end of life moments. I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule is very flexible for all of your pet needs. I’m available most days of the week, weekends and nights. I am extremely careful when it comes to watching animals, I know that an animal is a precious member of any family and I will do all I can to keep your pets safe and happy while feeling loved. I never bring pets into my own home because I am very cautious about how my cats and dogs will react. When I enter other people's homes, I try to work with the owner first to make sure their pet is comfortable with me before leaving. I treat all pets as if they are my own, so rest assured that your pet will be just as spoiled as mine for the times I am with them! I follow ALL instructions given to me by pet parents, and check in anytime I have questions.
“Danielle was a real life-saver by taking the booking at the last minute due to another cancellation hours before I was leaving town. She was able to meet with me quickly and understood Coco’s care needs. Everything was completed as requested and I returned to find Coco calm and happy! Also enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the notes from each visit. Great experience with Danielle!”
“I used Kiara again to watch our baby while we were out of town. She did an amazing job with Rosey and kept us informed of everything. She sent videos, pictures, and updated throughout her drop ins and made sure to let me know of any changes or concerns while we were gone. Rosey’s official dog sitter! I will not use anyone else ❤️”

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.
