“Reagan was great! She did drop-in visits for our cats while we were on vacation and handled everything perfectly. She followed all of our instructions and sent quick replies to our messages. Our cats loved her. We would definitely book her again!”
“I could tell right away that Dana was dependable, reliable and can be counted on. As someone who worries a lot about leaving my two cats, that provided me the peace of mind that I needed to enjoy my vacation week. I was so happy to find that she also truly is kind, caring, and loves animals, and that my shy cats warmed up to her immediately! I would absolutely recommend Dana.”
“We were very happy having Mamie (Mary) care for our two cats! She is a great communicator, particularly when it comes to letting you know how it's going with your pets. We have a cat who is recovering from an injury and we could tell from meeting Mamie - and later from her updates - that he was in good, attentive hands! She also had to play hide-and-seek a bit to keep up with our more timid cat, but she caught onto his patterns. We're glad we were able to book her and would highly recommend!”
“Lauren is absolutely awesome. She is great with the dogs, follows instructions, and has great communication. She is also flexible which was a huge bonus. She sends pictures after every visit and lets you know how everything went. I have full trust in her and would definitely recommend her.”
About: I have been taking care of many different dog breeds for years. My grandparents have pit bulls that I take care of when they’re away. I have an amazing golden-doodle named Tucker that I’ve taught basic tricks to. Along with family friends that go on trips I take care of their animals dropping in and making sure there fed, have water, and play with them. I am currently a student at RMU. I just love playing with dogs and miss my dog from home. I am a student at RMU I currently have class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10-11 and 1-3. On Tuesday and Thursday I have class from 8-9 and 2-3 I am available anytime that I don’t have class, To do any need. I will make sure that your pet has food, water, goes to the bathroom, any needs that the owner has I will fulfill based on the owners request apart from the basic needs for pets such as making sure they have food, water, and goes to the bathroom. I always love to play with my dog and give him a lot of love laying with him and petting him.
“We are so thankful to have found Kasey and Alyssa! They are amazing. Very warm and friendly and know what they are doing. Our dogs took to them immediately. We feel so relieved to have found a good fit for what we were looking for in help with drop-in visits (people who know and understand older dogs, who have great communication and are kind). We will definitely be making more repeat bookings. Thank you both for being PAWsome!🐾”
About: I’ve learned and taken on responsibilities caring for animals, specifically dogs, at a young age. Nacho, my past rescue dog, lived to be about 15 years of age. He needed quite a lot of care in his old age, including joint supplements, pimobendan for his heart, and other treatments. I currently have two cats named Kirby and Sam. I would love to have a dog, but my living situation doesn’t allow currently for the quality of life they deserve. I work full-time as an aesthetician, but with some days off, so if you need a day or a time that you don’t see we may be able to work something out:) I ensure a clean environment with no hazardous materials around, ample enrichment, and all the love humanly possible. Full of healthy food and treats obviously🤪
“Penny looks forward to Marias visits, it would be an impossible travel without Marias support. Maria is kind, patient, flexible and super communicative. It was a relief to have Maria watch Penny during our long trip.”
About: I have taken care of neighbors’, family’s, and friend’s dogs plenty of times before, from small to big dogs. I am very attentive to detail, so I will be able to care for your dog’s individual needs. Most recently, I have cared for a miniature schnauzer puppy, a black lab puppy, and two mid-aged mixed breed dogs. I have additional experience with doodles, king cavalier spaniels, dauschunds, pitbulls, and pugs. I am currently studying to take my physical therapy board examination so I will my schedule is flexible. I am not working at the moment, but hope to get a full-time job after taking my examination at the end of July. A part-time job may be added in the near future. I am willing to feed them, walk them, play with them, let them out to the bathroom, and clean up after them. Whatever they need, I will willingly provide for them. I can easily crate your dog if needed and spent my last semester away at college lifting a lot at the gym, so there need be no worries of the dog walking itself. I enjoy being outdoors when the weather is nice, so if that’s something your pet also enjoys, I am glad to spend time outdoors with them. If they are more the indoor, cuddly type, I am to accompany them in that as well.
“Savannah did a wonderful job looking after my dog while I was away. She also provided great, thorough updates for every single check in! I would highly recommend her.”
About: I was given the amazing opportunity to enroll into Parkway West CTC through their Veterinary Assistant Technology program for the 4 years of my highschool career! I have been so blessed to have been able to certify in everything possibly given to me! I am certified in pet cpr, pet first aid, NAVTA, OSHA, Purina, and so much more! I also involved myself in our doggy daycare the school was running, i witnessed first hand aggression, warning signs, causal play, anxiety and lots more from all of the dogs we encountered! I’ve truly seen it all. I also worked in the small animal room, involving furry pets such as rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets and bunnies! I know the proper techniques of holding and restraining them if need be, only if i truly had to!! I am currently working part time, so i have so much time to play and check in on your furry bundles of joy! During the week im available in the mornings and the weekends im completely free! I have a fenced in yard, 5 super friendly dogs if your dog is up for the play day!! I have a cage if he/she isn’t super friendly on new pups and am super willing to put my puppers away so your dog isn’t trapped in a cage all day!
“Taylor is wonderful! This was the third time we’ve had her come for drop in visits with our pup, Reese, and each time we have been so happy with how well she cares for our girl. Reese loves going for walks and Taylor takes her for a long walk during each drop in. We have a very anxious pup and Taylor is so patient with her. We will always use Taylor’s services for our pup.”
“There is nobody better than Brianna! Our three cats have shown love to her like we’ve never seen from any other sitter. Brianna is naturally loving, attentive to each animals quirks, and perfect to work with while on a trip. She gives us great peace of mind and a perfect person to work with!”
About: I have watched friends dogs in the past by taking them for walks during the day or letting them out when needed. I love all animals and will always give my best and love your pet like my own. I am available mornings Monday - Thursday before 10a and Fridays after 10a. Weekends depend but if I know ahead I can plan around anything scheduled. I am respectful and will do what you ask of me and feel is best for your cats. I also promise to love your cats as my own when I am taking care of them. I am more than willing to take pictures and send consistent updates!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Grove
Mollie is AMAZING! She came over and introduced herself and got to know my high energy but goodest boy American Black Labrador, Joyner Blueberry. She is very kind and takes amazing care of your fur-baby! Joyner absolutely adored his time with her - very evident in the many photos provided of play time, meals, and quality time spent. Mollie was prompt, very flexible, and so very accommodating to any request I had. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
Hannah was friendly and awesome! She had no problems getting to know our doggos at her first visit. She wrote detailed notes about her visits and always provided cute photos of our dogs. She kept us updated about how things were going while we were away from home. Highest recommendation for Hannah! Thank you!
Alaska was amazing and made my first experience on Rover seamless! She was so communicative, from picking up keys beforehand to dealing with my less-than-sociable cat, I couldn't have asked for anyone better to look after my baby while I was out of town. I highly recommend booking her!

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.
