“Can’t say enough about Tom and how amazing he is! I was able to enjoy my trip home for the holidays knowing that my dog was in amazing care. Tom is a great communicator and is very thorough with caring for pets! Thank you, Tom for taking such great care of Moon for me while I was away. We will be going back to Tom in the future!”
“Kendall was the best for my kitties! She took such good care of them, and she kept me updated the entire time with plenty of pictures. I felt at peace knowing my cats were in her care.”

“Madeline did a great job watching over my cat Mackie, she was super sweet, responsive, took good pictures and even went above and beyond and fed Mackie some extra wet food from their own collection when I ran out due to a slight miscommunication in instructions. Wonderful service and would book again!”

“This was our second time booking Sibel, and also the longest we'd ever been away from our two kitties, so we were definitely a little nervous. But once again, she was exceptional. You can tell Sibel really loves what she does, and it shows in the way she cares for the pets she's looking after. We felt completely at ease knowing our cats were with her. She kept us updated, sent lots of pictures and videos, and made sure they had everything they needed. She always goes above and beyond and is so attentive to their needs. She followed all of our care instructions carefully and even noticed things that came up while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. We're so glad we found Sibel and can't recommend her enough. We'll definitely keep booking her whenever we need someone to take care of our cats!”

My friends, neighbors, and family have always trusted me to care for their pets. I understand what it means to leave your pets with others, and I promise to treat your pets like the family they are! I have had dogs, cats, fish, and lizards my whole life. I have helped foster kittens multiple times. There is truly nothing more important to me than building a relationship with your pets!

“Jeff is a very conscientious and caring dog sitter. One of my dogs needs extra special care with diet and medication. he always gave bear his medication on time and his special feedings. Having him take care of my dogs, added a great piece of mind during my vacation. I plan on using Jeff on a regular basis he is great and reliable”

“Emma is an excellent caretaker for my kitty! My kitty isn’t always friendly, but she was very comfortable with Emma and would allow Emma to pet her. Emma sent me photos every day which always makes me very happy. She also went the extra step and cleaned a blanket that the cat had thrown a hairball on. I really appreciate her taking the time to do this. I highly recommend Emma. I feel very confident having her in my home and looking after my fur baby.”


About: I have over 7 years of hands-on pet sitting experience caring for dogs, cats, and multi-pet households of all sizes. I love caring for animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. During the week, I attend classes, but my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide dependable care for your pets. I'm also available on weekends, so whether you need weekday visits or weekend care, I'm happy to help keep your furry family members happy and comfortable. I provide pet care in the comfort of your home, where your pets can stay in a familiar, stress-free environment. I have experience following household routines, respecting home rules, and treating every home with the utmost care. Most importantly, I'll give your fur babies plenty of love, attention, and personalized care while you're away.
About: I’ve always grown up around dogs and getting to spend time with them has been one of my favorite pastimes! I’ve had the pleasure of meeting many new furry friends throughout the years and getting to know their own unique personalities! I always treat every new pup I see as if they’re my own. I hope I get the chance to meet your pups soon and give them a little extra company! Currently, my schedule is full open availability. I have no problem commuting for that reason:). I plan on focusing my attention on pet-sitting, as I’ve always had a love for animals! At my home, I have two super good boys! One is a Golden Retriever (11) and the other is a Shih-Tzu (15). They are fed every morning and taken out at least 3 times a day. Toys are never-ending and they are spoiled rotten (they get to sleep in the bed😉). Both of these pups are constantly getting attention…I mean come on, how can I not?!
About: I know how to take care of animals that are highly reactive due to my sweet rescue. I was raised around lots of different animals since I was a toddler and often watched on them even as a small child. As I got older and my mother started leaving for weeks for work so I’d watch my dog, cat, and two tree frogs on my own for years. I currently have two dogs and cat I care for that are happy and healthy. I’ve also always participated in neighbor dog walking and frequently volunteer at shelters. I am in school Monday through Thursday but am available early morning and late night those days and can be flexible. Weekend are completely open. I always remain courteous and respectful in other peoples private spaces. A persons home is incredibly private and I would make sure that trust is kept. I will follow your instructions exactly and make sure your pet and you are happy!
“Our family highly recommends Amanda to take care of your fur baby! Amanda was awesome with our 5 month Goldendoodle puppy! Our Goldendoodle didn’t want her to leave! :) That’s how much he loves her! She quickly responded to our pet sit request. She asked great questions about the care of our puppy. We are definitely booking Amanda again!”

About: I can care for feathers 🪶, fins 🐟 and fur 🐈⬛🐕. Anything you need really. I love animals and have spent my whole life working with them. I have two rescue kitties myself. I am flexible, I work for a major hospital Monday-Wednesday. This is my part time job the 4 days I’m not at work :) I really only need 24 hr notice. If you are in dire need of your pet to be checked on I can do my best to accommodate shorter notice. I cannot board any pets, or stay overnight. I have two kitties 🐈⬛ of my own to care for. I do house visits and walks.
About: I have been taking care of pets since before I could remember. I believe that pets are what make the world go round, and always strive to make them as happy as can be! I have a small, calm dog and cat here in Arizona, and two large, crazy dogs back in Maine. I definitely understand how both ends of the spectrum can be! All my pets have made it from early puppy, to late senior so I understand the vital importance and factors of taking care of a youthful/elderly pet. I am only working part-time at the moment so taking care of your pets on the weekend is not a problem for me! I also work early mornings so I am free in the afternoons/evenings during the week for all services except overnight stay! MY HOUSE: I have a small, calm/friendly dog that would love to keep your furry friend company. He can be locked away in a separate area of the house if needed! I also have a small, calm/friendly cat but she will be locked away for all visitations/overnights because she gets scared easily. I have a beautiful fenced in backyard with a pool and fake grass. All pet waste gets cleaned up so it’s always hygienic. I will take your dog for a long walk 2 times per day. I will follow your desired feeding/play schedule and administer any medicine if needed. YOUR HOUSE: I will do all the same as listed above! If you have no fenced backyard, I will take your dog on multiple walks a day to get their energy out. I will also follow any crate training instructions if desired.

“Very friendly and reliable! I was able to relax and enjoy myself knowing Gwyn was stopping by to take care of my Coco. I recommend highly and will definitely be using Gwyn again.”

“Brandon was able to help let our dogs out very last minute while we were in the middle of my husband’s change of duty station. Our pups love him and we are so grateful for his help. He communicates clearly and promptly, and sends the cutest pics of our pups! Thank you Brandon!”

“This was our first time with Therese. We recently relocated and had to be gone for a few days. We have two very spoiled cats, one of which has not adjusted to the move. We were concerned about leaving them but Therese but all our worries to rest. She spent a lot of “love” time with them, made sure they had their medications, was prompt and communicative. We’ve now decided she needs to be our forever pet sitter😊 We are super happy with the care our cats received!”

Sibel is amazing!!! She checked in on our three cats while we were on vacation. She is so reliable, responsive, and amazing with cats! She sent very cute videos playing with them, and even got our older cat (usually not very active) to play. Highly recommend 😊

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Fort McDowell stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
