“Anastassia is amazing!! She is very communicative, she set up a meet and great immediately and she is a natural with animals, knowing immediately how to work with the quirks and behaviors of our dog. She took our dog for a walk and was proactive about her needs including thinking to bring a water bowl. Our baby was nice and tired when I got home from work, I could tell she loved her new friend. Will definitely use Anastassia again!!”
“Amy did a wonderful job taking care of Gracie and Ben! She was attentive, caring, and made sure they were happy and well looked after. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands.”
“Lacee was great. She followed our instructions. She sent daily checks ins and pictures. You can see she gave our cat lots of attention and love. She was awesome at communicating with us which was a big plus I always knew what was going on.”
“Betty was fantastic! She provided great care for our cat, Bella, during our absence. Her communication was excellent, and she sent updates after each visit. I would absolutely rebook Betty to look after Bella in the future!”
“Barbara was so great!! We booked her last minute but are glad we did! She was prompt and took our dog for a walk each visit! Sent us lots of photos each time she visited the house! Would book again!”
About: I’m an active, highly disciplined professional athlete with years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds and sizes. My background in elite athletics means I have the stamina for long, engaging walks, active exercise, and rigorous attention to routine and safety. Whether your dog needs high energy cardio or a calm, structured stroll around the neighborhood, I prioritize their wellbeing, safety, and happiness every step of the way. I treat every pet with the same level of focus and care I bring to my daily training. As a full time athlete managing a flexible training schedule, I have structured availability for midday, early morning, and evening walks. Dog walking fits seamlessly into my active daily routine. I pride myself on prompt communication, strict punctuality, and flexibility to meet your schedule so you always have peace of mind while you're away or at work. Safety and accountability are my highest priorities. During walks or house visits, your dog will always be securely on leash, closely monitored, and kept safe from external hazards. I pay close attention to heat, hydration, and body language to ensure your pet stays comfortable throughout our time together. I follow all home entry instructions meticulously and provide regular photo updates after every walk so you know your pet is safe, secure, and well cared for.
“Deborah was fantastic! I’m a new dog mom to an 11 week puppy, and she was the first dog sitter I ever used- She sent updates and photos, and even my cats came out to say hi to her, and that right there is HIGH praise! I was confident my puppy was in good hands!”
“Michelle was excellent and quick to respond to my last minute check in request. She spent quality time with my two doggos. Definitely would recommend and will be booking again!”
About: I’m 21 years old and have had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals has always been a natural part of who I am. I’m very active and love spending time outdoors, which makes me a great match for dogs who enjoy long walks, playtime, and plenty of exercise. I’m trustworthy, dependable, and very responsible, and I’ll care for your pets as if they were my own. I’ve had dogs and cats, big and small, so I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes! Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, lots of attention, or simply someone patient and caring while you’re away, you can count on me to provide a safe, loving, and reliable experience. My goal is to make sure every pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for while giving owners peace of mind. I just moved here, and am missing my pets back at home, so I would love to care for your animals as if they were my own! Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. Since I’m freshly postgrad, I have a very flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks or visits. I enjoy staying active, so spending time walking, playing with, and caring for pets is something I genuinely look forward to. I’ll make sure your pet gets the attention, exercise, and care they deserve while you’re away. When walking your pet, safety and comfort are my top priorities. I make sure each walk is tailored to your dog or cat’s needs, whether they enjoy a relaxing stroll, extra exercise, or plenty of time to explore and sniff. I always pay close attention to my surroundings, use proper leash safety, and follow any instructions you provide about your pet’s routine or behavior. I’m responsible, trustworthy, and will treat your pet like my own. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, and positive walking experience that keeps your pet happy, healthy, and well cared for while giving you peace of mind.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life! I’ve been around dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, from little puppies to older dogs. My grandma also fostered dogs, so I was always surrounded by them growing up! I have 4 years of pet-sitting experience, but I’ve also grown up taking care of our own dogs my whole life. people always tell me how much their dogs love me! I absolutely adore animals and would treat your fur babies like my own! I’m a college student with a flexible schedule since most of my classes are online! I’m available all day Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I have in-person classes Tuesday and Thursday but can discuss morning or evening visits. I’m also happy to stay overnight in your home! Your pet’s safety and happiness are my top priorities! I’ll always follow their normal routine, respect your home, and give them plenty of love and attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates so you know your fur baby is in good hands!
About: I have taken care of multiple dogs at one time for many years. I get asked all the time if I am a professional dog walker or whisperer! Currently I have two labrador retrievers and one german shepard. I live and love to keep them active whether it be a walk, frisbee throw at park, tug a war in backyard or a pack walk at the lake. Many days you will see me with my 4th dog ( Grand dog). Large dogs are my calling but I love on all sizes! I am currently working a part time flexible schedule and have the ability to be available to check in on your loved ones and/ or take for a walk! Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for dog walks and drop in visits each day. I keep my schedule organized to ensure every pet receives reliable, on time care and individual attention. When I provide drop in visits, I focus on following each pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure in their own home. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh water, feed them according to the owner's instructions, provide potty breatks or litter box cleaning as needed and spend quality time with them through play, exercise and companionship. I also administer medications if requested and I'm comfortable doing so. I do send updates with photos after each visit so owner's know their pet is happy, safe and well cared for.
“Rachel took excellent care of my sweet older cat Walter. She came by before my vacation to meet Walter to get in person instructions, which was very considerate. Walter looked happy and well taken care of in the pictures Rachel sent every day. I highly recommend Rachel!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. Throughout high school and college, I regularly dog- and cat-sat for friends, neighbors, and friends of friends, caring for pets with a variety of personalities, ages, and routines. One thing that sets me apart is my ability to understand a pet's body language and cues. Every animal communicates differently, and I take the time to make sure they feel comfortable and safe. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or shy and needs a little extra patience, I adapt my care to what they need. I also know how stressful it can be to leave your pet in someone else's care. Because of that, I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, exercise, and consistency while you're away. My goal is not only to make your pet feel happy and secure but also to give you complete peace of mind knowing they're in caring, reliable hands! I recently moved back home after spending 10 months living in Madrid, and I currently work part-time remotely. Because of my flexible schedule, I can accommodate a variety of pet care needs, whether that's daytime walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, or keeping your pet company throughout the day. I enjoy staying active and spending time with animals, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure your pet receives the attention and care they deserve. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I know that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to learn what makes them feel most comfortable and stick as closely as possible to their normal routine. I pay close attention to body language and behavior to recognize when a pet is relaxed, excited, or anxious. Whether we're going for walks, playing, feeding, or just relaxing together, I strive to create a calm, positive environment where your pet feels safe, cared for, and loved. I also understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful for both you and your pet. I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and in good hands!!
“Madison was amazing! When she first met Benji Muffin she bonded right away. She was caring, compassionate and careful with my older beloved dog. She was respectful in my home and I trust her completely. I enjoyed receiving her pictures and it put me at ease during my vacation. I could tell right away that she really enjoyed what she was doing. I think Benji Muffin misses her.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Folsom
Amber was great with the boys, sometimes when drop-in visitors left, the boys whined because they didn’t get enough interaction or attention. The boys remained calm after she left, so I know she loved on them as if they were her own, played with them, gave them puzzles, meds, etc. Amber is great! Would absolutely recommend her.
Anastassia is amazing!! She is very communicative, she set up a meet and great immediately and she is a natural with animals, knowing immediately how to work with the quirks and behaviors of our dog. She took our dog for a walk and was proactive about her needs including thinking to bring a water bowl. Our baby was nice and tired when I got home from work, I could tell she loved her new friend. Will definitely use Anastassia again!!
Auva was absolutely wonderful; she was open with circumstances, provided ample pictures of my cat, and, over the course of the catsit, managed to coax said cat into her lap, which he has done only for two other people, myself included. I came back to him physically content but annoyed that either I had been away or that Auva was now gone. I hope for my sake that it is the former. Send her your cats. (Send her to your cats?)
Deborah has been my senior doggo drop in helper - twice a week for my 15 y.o. Red Heeler mix. She’s simply a natural with dogs and I trust her observations and her accountability during drop in visits. Great communication, dependable and always willing to help!
Michael is my go to pet sitter for Stella when I am traveling. I have used Michael 3 times now and will continue to request his services for Stella in the future. Michael always finds a way to accommodate my needs and schedule for Stella while I am away (even when I book last minute, sorry about that Michael). Michael is a friendly person who is responsible and caring with the pets and their homes he is tasked with! Thanks again Michael.

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.

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.
