“Amanda was amazing! So interactive with our dog. She is a great communicator, on time, and just a pleasure. I loved seeing all the photos and fun they had together. Highly recommend hiring Amanda.”
“Jessie was great with my cat, Dinah. Dinah is usually quite shy, but from the photos she sent, she easily warmed up to Jessie. Jessie was also very flexible with the times of her visits and communicated well when we were trying to troubleshoot Dinah’s automatic feeder which had stopped working. Jessie did a great job and I highly recommend her to others.”
“Emily was a great help! The clear and informative communication provided us with the reassurance needed to have peace of mind while away. We definitely plan to book with Emily as needed and able to again in the future. Thank you, Emily!”
“Blaise was wonderful! She came for drop-in visits twice a day for three days to take care of our new puppy, Tater. She was incredibly reliable and sent updates and feedback, which gave us so much peace of mind. I could tell Tater was well cared for and getting plenty of attention while we were away. We are so thankful for the care she gave our new baby and would absolutely use her again. I highly recommend Blaise!”
About: I love any and all dogs. I would love to play, walk, feed, and love on your dog when you can’t. I have grown up with dogs my entire life..

I will communicate with you as much or as little as you would like, to take the ease of being away from your loved one more comfortable. I work full time Monday-Thursday 8-5. I can come home at lunch time for a quick potty and walk break. Weekends I’m flexible and can work around your schedule. I will follow any feeding/water schedule that you have in place. Your pet will be well taken care of! Any instructions you have, I will follow.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for friends, family and neighbors for 10 years! I love to go for a walk with a curious pup! I’m good at reading dogs signals and giving them the space they need I work part time at a coffee shop and my hours are flexible, and I sometimes have rehearsals at night! The sooner you book with me the better- I love to fit a few walks in around my current routines! When I am in your home, I am respectful of your belongings! It’s your home, not mine. I make sure your pet feels comfy and safe with all of their usual routines
“Sophia is truly a dependable and intelligent lady. She took such excellent care of our kitty - again! I know that Mark is in good hands with Sophia, even when he isn’t feeling great. We are so thankful to have found her.”
“Sarah was exceptionally caring with my cats. She was very thoughtful, making sure she completely understood the instructions I provided. There were some complicated aspects regarding access to where I live, but she was able to sort everything out perfectly. She also got along very well with my cats, sent me lots of pictures and videos of them while I was away, and attended to all my cats' needs. I'm very grateful to her.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up with both dogs and cats, so being around furry friends has always been a big part of my life. I’ve also spent lots of time dog/cat sitting for family and friends, and I’ve loved every minute of it. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel happy, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. Whether that means going on walks, playing, giving lots of belly rubs and cuddles, or just hanging out together, I’m always happy to keep your pet company! I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and make sure they get plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away. 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your pets! I’m able to work around my schedule to make sure your pets receive plenty of attention, love, and companionship while you’re away. When caring for your pets in your home, my goal is to keep them comfortable, happy, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I’ll follow your instructions closely and make sure they have everything they need, including fresh food and water, walks, playtime, and plenty of love and attention. I know that being away from their owners can be an adjustment for pets, so I’ll do my best to make them feel safe and cared for in their familiar environment. I’m happy to spend extra time with them, give them lots of cuddles and playtime, and make sure they’re never feeling lonely. I’ll also treat your home with the same respect and care that I give your pets. I want you to feel comfortable knowing that your furry family members are in good hands while you’re away!
“Jericho was awesome! She was always on time and sent lots of pictures. I could tell our pets were doing well. She also stayed in touch and asked questions, so I know she was caring for them and concerned about them. Would definitely book again!”
About: I have spent over 8 years volunteering at various dog shelters and have learned how to handle and care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I have also fostered for a few years and ended up rescuing my own dog, Daisy, last year. I have learned many skills including leash handling, reading cues from dogs, handling stressful situations, raising a puppy, and understanding what a dog needs to be fulfilled (whether low energy, high energy, or in between). A dog’s comfort is always my priority and I love getting to know each dog's personality so that I can give them the love they need! I can’t wait to meet your pup! I work remotely on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. I am also available on weekends. Since I have my own dog, I have a complete routine for pet care. I have a friendly dog named Daisy and plenty of toys, leashes, and treats. We also have a dog park in our apartment complex and plenty of space to roam around and explore. I prioritize Daisy and will do the same for your dog!
“Ariana took great care of our pups while we were out of town! They were tired when we came home from playing with her dogs 😊 she was responsive and sent updates, which we loved. We will definitely book with her in the future!”
“Kathryn was so kind and attentive to our dogs needs and just random things that happened at our house while we were gone. Her communication was great and she sent great photos. So grateful we found her!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Forest Hills
Gracie was amazing with our pups! She gave them plenty of playtime and was very attentive to detail during our meet and greet to make sure she would best care for our pups. She sent us plenty of personality pics of our fur babies during her visit and provided details on potty breaks and their walk together so I felt at ease know my pups were well taken care of while I was at work!

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.
