“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!”
“Jessie was fantastic! She took great care of our cats while we were away. She was very thorough with the litter boxes, spent some time playing with them, and sent us lots of adorable photos, which we really appreciated. We also have a pretty complicated apartment entry system that requires using an app, and she was so patient and willing to work with it without any complaints. She was incredibly easy to communicate with and made the whole experience completely stress-free. We couldn’t have asked for a better first Rover experience. We’d definitely book with Jessie again!”
“Once again Miss Abbey is a very dependable sitter. My Kini is comfortable immediately with her, and Abbey is very careful to ensure her security and welfare as I am away. I highly recommend this sitter !”
“Sarah was an incredible cat sitter! This was a last-minute booking, but she was still so accommodating and took the time to go over all of my cats’ essentials, feeding routines, and everything she needed to know before I left. Throughout the week, she communicated consistently, sent updates, and wasn’t afraid to reach out with questions when needed. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my cats were in such great hands while I was away. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for my cats. I would absolutely book Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and communicative pet sitter”
“Olivia is the best. I had to go back to work while my pup was still recovering from getting fixed. Her nursing background made her the perfect choice. She is always on time and is meticulous about following care instructions. Highly recommend!”
“This is my first time using Rover and Sophia is a great caretaker of my fur babies. She is very communicative and responsive and takes great care of my cats. In the pictures she send back to me, I can tell my cats love her as well. Would absolutely book with her again in the future!!❤️”
“Madison was great in accommodating a last minute meet and greet on a holiday weekend. It was our first time using her and we will definitely rebook. She gave Cody lots of love and kept us updated!”
“Julia has been the best pet sitter that I’ve had since moving back to Ky 20 years ago. She takes a personal interest in each of my dogs and cats and has given them special care when they’ve have medical issues. She’s the most dependable and caring pet sitter!”
“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!”
“Amanda was so great with my short timing-day of request. She was very inquisitive of any special needs or what Oscar would require for care. Tmeverything went super smooth, I will def. be calling her again.”
“Sahara did a great job keeping my old kitty happy for a week while I was out of town. She is really good at communicating and kept me updated for the whole week. Thanks Sahara!”
About: I have a very strong connection and bond with dogs. My two childhood golden doodles were my absolute best friends and there's nothing more rewarding than getting to spend quality time with dogs. I have familiarity with dogs of all ages, as I helped train my dog as a puppy and assisted with taking care of our senior dog. Besides my part-time job on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and occasional weekends out of town, I work on my own schedule. This means I have lots of flexibility to walk dogs, come by for house visits, and house sit. Keeping dogs happy and properly taken care of is very important to me. I am vigilant with following instructions and very respectful when it comes to boundaries. I aim to be communicative and available to respond in case you need to contact me during house-sitting or another service.
“Kait was so great with our two kittens! She gave us detailed summaries of each visit with many pictures. She gave them so much love and attention, we would definitely recommend kait and have her take care of our kitties again!”
About: I love dogs and have taken care of them all my life! I recently lost my companion of 12 years in April 2026, Finley, who passed onto the rainbow bridge due to old age. Finley was a 120lb gentle giant, so I am highly experienced with large breeds and dogs of all sizes. Whether you have a Great Dane or a Pomeranian, I will care for your fur baby as if they were my own. Being a dog lover while no longer having one has been heartbreaking for me, but it also means that I now have the opportunity to hangout with your pup! :) I only ask for a week in advance notice and prefer to do a meet and greet beforehand to see if we align. Take a look at my calendar and see what works for you! I work my day job Thursday through Sunday and am currently available for house sitting Sunday night through Thursday morning and drop-in visits M, T, W. I am available to come to your home or your dog is welcome to stay at mine! I live in a 900 Sq. Ft. apartment with plenty of space for a small or medium dog or a low activity older large breed. I have two orthopedic beds that are cleaned thoroughly after each stay and two dog bowls.
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 lost my 16 year old golden and need to be around some pets! I can be very flexible with times and will work with your schedule as needed. 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.
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 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.
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 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.
