“Thank you so much, Andy! My pups were so happy and thankful for all of your help this weekend! We will definitely look for Andy first next time we need help. My biggest baby is normally pretty shy, but it took about 3 seconds before he was begging for scratches and cuddles.”
About: I have had dogs and cats in my home since i was born. I currently live with roommates who have two dogs, and I am the one they rely on when both are gone or away for long periods of time. I work full time, I work mornings mostly and occasional afternoons but they are only about 4 hours. I am able to come in before mornings but I work at 6:30 am. other than that I can stop by anytime I am not working I take dogs out often, and love to play with them. I also enjoy playing with cats and will always make sure they have fresh litter.
“Faith has been amazing with our new puppy! So accommodating and flexible to fit our needs. She is quick to respond and sends updates to ensure our little guy is safe and cared for. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have taken care of family and friends dogs while they are away! I am comfortable with any size, age, breed, etc! I love to stimulate the dogs according to their personalities and how they would best thrive. I love to radiate love onto them and I am open to bathing and other requests. I have fed, walked, and loved them. Hello! I currently have a few part time babysitting gigs so I would have plenty of time to help out with any pet needs! I am currently enrolled in classes on Tuesdays and Thursday's but am available after 4 pm those days. Besides that I am pretty much open and would LOVE to help out! I would care for your pets in your home by taking them for walks, feeding, etc. If there were to be a fenced in backyard I would play with them there, or take them for a walk, or occasionally I would love to take them to a trail or park and play with them there!
“This was our first time using Rover. During our Meet and Greet, Cathy made us feel comfortable about leaving our cat in her care. All went better than expected during her visits (our cat can be a little stand-off’ish). We will use Cathy again should the need arise!”
About: I've taken care of cats and dogs since I was a kid, my own as well as, friends and neighbors pets. I love being outdoors playing and taking walks with my girl, Lilli. I’ve had experience with a senior dog on medication and know they need special care and attention. I will play with and love on your pet as if they were my own. I'm currently living on a farm and helping take care of the animals. My schedule is flexible so I'm able to help with notice the same day. I can do house-sitting as well as drop in care to feed and let dogs out, change litter boxes, play for a bit, then come back later. We can work out details according to your pets needs. I will feed, play with and take your pets out according to what you want. All pets have special needs or routines and happy to accommodate those needs.
“Olivia was absolutely wonderful while we were away! She dropped in twice to let our dogs out, feed them, and make sure they were well cared for. She treated our home with so much respect and care, truly like it was her own. One of our favorite parts was all the beautiful pictures she took of the dogs while we were gone, it gave us so much peace of mind and made us smile seeing how happy and comfortable they were. You can really tell she genuinely cares about animals.”
About: I’ve been a dog-lover since childhood, always surrounded by dogs, horses, and even rabbits. I raised my husky from puppyhood who was my bestie. Currently unable to have a dog of my own, so I get my dog cuddles here! Equipped with any skills your pet may need. Currently unemployed and job searching, so plenty of flexibility in my schedule! I welcome the breaks that come with long walks and a happy dog :) Offering your home is an intimate thing! I want to make sure we both feel comfortable and confident communicating what we need in order to give your dog the best care possible.

About: Grew up around dogs and cats (and some farm animals) but currently living in an apartment that doesn’t allow them! Need my fix of pet love! I am a teacher so I am available more in the summer. During the school year I am available before 7 am and after 3 pm. Available most weekends. Although I can’t keep your pet(s) at my home, I’m happy to visit yours and/or do any other house sitting needs! Former babysitter, dog sitter, and house sitter.
About: What sets me apart is my lifelong experience with a wide range of pets, especially rescue dogs and senior animals. I’ve cared for everything from energetic puppies to older pets with mobility or medical needs, and I understand that each animal requires a unique kind of love and attention. I’m patient, observant, and gentle — especially with shy or anxious pets. While I don’t have a pet right now (just got married and moved so it's been a crazy few months), I miss that connection and would love to help others care for their furry family members. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work a pretty flexible schedule so that leaves me with lots of flexibility for pet care! I’m happy to do drop-ins, walks, or sitting depending on your pet’s needs and schedule. I’m reliable, communicative, and love spending my free time with animals! I always prioritize safety, trust, and respect when caring for pets and their homes. Whether I’m in your home or mine, I ensure a clean, calm, and secure environment where your pet feels comfortable and loved. I treat your space with the utmost care, following any specific instructions you provide. Being responsible and respectful is my top priority—I want both you and your pet to feel confident and relaxed while you’re away.

“Excellent and reliable care for my cats! She was also willing to help put out the trash for me! Thank you! I appreciated her pictures of my cats and open and clear communication. Two big thumbs up! 👍 👍”
“Kaylee is great to work with; I've had no issues with her all the visits she’s made to take care of my cats. She’s quick to respond and doesn’t miss any scheduled visits. I recommend her as your local pet sitter.”

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.
