“Denise was amazing with my boy over the weekend! She kept me well updated with descriptions and pictures and went above and beyond to make his time enjoyable while we were gone. I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with someone, than with Denise!”
“Natalie is awesome! She was super communicative, always sent pics, and our cat very clearly loved her. I felt at ease knowing Natalie was checking in on our cat every day while we were away and I will definitely book her again!”
“Ale was very communicative if she would be late, if the cats were feeling scared or whatever the case was. She played with the cats, and cleaned their litter box daily. She included lots of photos which made it feel like you were still with your fur babies. She was great with communicating what happened at the visits and how the cats were doing, if they were scared, playful or whatever the case was. I would recommend Ale for all your pet sitting needs!”
“Evelyn is wonderful! She took such good care of all of my babies while I was away. She is caring, loving and all of the cats seem to just adore her. I totally trust that I can leave them in her care again, and truly hope that she is available every time I need a sitter. Thank you, Evelyn. You’re the best!”
About: Dogs have always been apart of my life. I volunteered in a service dog program called 4Paws4Patriots and in doing so I got to learn so much about dog care/handling. Ever since then, dogs have always owned a piece of my heart, I just had to figure out how to follow my passion. Which led me to American k-9 interdiction (AK9I), where I took a 13 week course and became a professional dog trainer. I now have three dogs and own my own dog training business (Big Paws Protection). I have owned a Siberian husky, German Shepard, and an Alaskan Malamute. I currently own a Belgian Malinios. A lot of work have gone into them and still go into them. Caring for dogs can be challenging but I love the work and seeing the dog improving is worth every minute I am a professional dog trainer and have been around dogs all my life, I feel that I can handle most any situation you can throw at me. If I got the chance to work with your dog I would take it.
“Cleo was such a big help for me on a vacation trip that went all sorts of wonky. She was able to step in last minute when our family friend dropped out of house/cat sitting for us while we were away. Then our travels got wrapped up in the mass Southwest Airlines cancellations and Cleo was able to work with us on that as well! (we ended up leaving 2 days later than expected and coming back a day later than anticipated). Cleo is quick to respond to messages and the pictures and updates she sent of our cats kept me at ease that they were being cared for. Also the pictures in general were just super funny sometimes and I really loved that. Cleo was my first experience using Rover and I was super nervous at first to be giving a stranger access to my home but she is professional, great to work with, and I would book with her again in a heartbeat!”
“Cindy helped us through a very complicated time. It was her first time sitting rabbits (we have two) and she was going to just be doing daily drop-ins with them. While we were out of town, the Hawk fire evacuated our home and she took the bunnies into her home until the evacuation was lifted. We are so grateful for her and her families support and flexibility. Thank you Cindy!”
“Brianna is a gem! She and her kids gave so much love to my 1 year old dog Ellie and 1 year old cat Toji. She sent tons of photos, was super responsive and gave extensive updates for each visit (twice a day). My animals adores people and kids and it was such a treat for them to make new friends while we were away. It also was so comforting to see pics and videos of the animals having a good time while we were away - especially for my kids to know they were so loved. 10/10 highly recommend!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 12 and still love doing it. Dogs make my day better and I love spending quality time with them. I currently work a full time job as a amazon delivery driver, I normally have Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursday's off. I enjoy spending time with dogs on my free time. I have a fenced backyard with lots of room. I have 3 dogs both are super friendly and love playing. But if a dog ever comes over no matter the circumstances, dogs will never be left unattended and separated.
“Kinan regularly checks in with my pup and is always consistent and reliable. Definitely safe to say my dog has a new friend, very relieving to be able to trust Kinan with my guy!”
About: I helped my mom take care of 4 boxers growing up which we bought as puppies. I love taking care and watching my friend’s pets. I am also an experienced RN just taking a break from nursing. I will treat your pet as family. I am willing to fit your pet care in to my daily routine. Some times I have trouble waking up in the morning but I am motivated to make money right now. I don’t think having pets in my home would be best. My normal job is RN, moved here from PA, taking some time to collect myself in between jobs and find a travel assignment that works for me. I will treat your pet like it is my family. Thank you for your interest and consideration.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fernley
Denise was absolutely wonderful with our two cats while we were away! 🥰 She was reliable, communicative, and made us feel so much better knowing they were being well cared for. One of our cats is a little more shy, and we really appreciated her patience and care with both of their different personalities. She followed all of our instructions, kept us updated, and gave us peace of mind throughout our trip. It’s such a relief to have someone you can trust taking care of your pets and your home while you’re away. We would absolutely book with Denise again and highly recommend her! ❤️🐾
We had such a great experience with Ale! She was dependable, communicative, and took such great care of our girls while we were away! It gave us so much peace knowing they were in good hands.

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.

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.
