“Tressa and Blake were so great with our kitties! They made sure our cat that needed medicine had it when he needed it. They communicated great and sent pictures at each visit!”
“First time booking with Rover so was a little nervous about the whole thing but Madison did an amazing job! Really love the updates and pictures each time she came!!! Will definitely be booking with her again in the future 😊”
“Alexis has been very open to working with my dog with special behavior considerations. My dog loved her and warmed up much more quickly than I expected! While she is a relatively new Rover and is still learning all the intricacies when it comes to navigating this line of work, her transparency and openness makes me believe that she will go far in the animal care field.”
“Ansley is a knowledgeable, communicative and attentive caretaker and went above and beyond to be flexible when I had to leave my 8-week-old puppy to go to an appointment. She gave me peace of mind and some sweet puppy photos. So thankful!”
“Rebekah was the most amazing sitter for my 3 cats. She took care with each of them and their weird personalities to make sure they each felt safe and loved. I got constant updates and photos which made me happy to know they were doing good. I will 100 percent use her in the future for my pet sitting needs!”
“Very responsive and easy to work with. The consistent communication with updates gave a good peace of mind while I was away. Will definitely be booking with Rianna again in the future”
“Jessica went above and beyond taking care of our babies! Bear definitely did NOT make it easy for her 😂, but she handled our wild puppy with so much patience, love, and grace. She made sure our old man Duke was comfortable and cared for, gave Duchess all the love she needed, and even won over Bax, our cat! Having four pets with completely different personalities is a lot, but Jessica handled our crazy crew like a champ and kept us updated while we were away. I truly appreciate the love and care she showed Duke, Duchess, Bear, and Bax. I cannot recommend Jessica enough! Finding someone you can truly trust with your babies is priceless, and Jessica is absolutely that person. If you’re looking for someone who is patient, dependable, compassionate, and will genuinely love and care for your pets like they’re her own, book Jessica. You will not regret it! We will absolutely be booking with her again. ❤️”
About: I have been taking care of dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 16 years old. I have experience caring for many of my mom’s friends’ pets, including staying in their homes and making sure their pets are well taken care of. I usually stay anywhere from 3 to 14 days, depending on the owner’s needs. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, dependable, and comfortable following each pet’s individual routine and needs. I currently work part-time at a barber shop while attending college. Even with my busy schedule, I will always make time for your babies and give them the love, attention, and care they deserve. I’m responsible, dependable, and will treat your pets like they are my own! I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I follow their normal routines for feeding, walks, playtime, and medications if needed. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I also give pets plenty of attention and make sure they get the care they need throughout the day.
“Carissa was amazing while taking care of my cat, Chestnut, for a couple of weeks while I was away. She was incredibly responsible and provided thoughtful updates with lots of great pictures, which made it so much easier to be apart from my little cat. I’d absolutely recommend Carissa to anyone looking for a sitter :)”
“LeeAnna did a great job! She was on time and took wonderful care of Prissy. It gave me comfort to see the twice daily photos and updates that she sent. I highly recommend LeeAnna and will book her again!”
“Samantha was phenomenal! I couldn’t have asked for someone better to help me with my Ozzie boy. She asked permission to bring her kids and they were great with my boy and got all of his puppy energy out. One thing I loved was that she sent me pictures and videos of my boy while she was with him. She also left me with a selection of treats for him, which I thought was super sweet I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Danielle did a great job taking care of my dog & cat when I went out of town. The check in notes and photos helped keep my mind at ease knowing my girls were well taken care of. Would highly recommend”
About: WARNING- I send soooooo many pic and video updates to pet parents. If you don’t like for constant updates I may not be the sitter for you. I am a huge dog person, my aunt is a veterinary technician, and since I was a child, I went to work with her every weekend to assist her with cleaning the kennels, sitting with the dogs the veterinary clinic owned. Observing the animals behavior. I’ve owned a dog since I was five years old. Dogs have ALWAYS been a passion of mine. Anytime I see one out and about, I always ask if I can pet it or Love on it. I currently have an American Staffordshire Terrier named Kira Bella, I’ve owned her for four years. She is an ex show dog. She’s my child. I treat her no differently than a human would treat their own child. So I know the importance of finding the right person to care for your dog or cat. I am very picky about who watches my girl so I understand, just know that your fur baby is in good hands with me and I will treat them like they are my own fur baby. I have several clients that have booked with me that loved the service I’ve provided for them. I do require a meet and greet beforehand to make sure we are compatible, if we vibe well together then I will book you in right away! I own my own business so I make my own hours, I’ll have plenty of time to care for your babies as my work is very flexible. I will treat your fur baby like they are my own, if they are allowed on the furniture, I will cuddle with them. If they need to be crated , I have no problem crating them. If they need medication I have no problem giving it to your baby. I was raised with an aunt that is a veterinary technician so I spent a lot of time at the vet clinic with her learning how to handle animals and give them medication.

We were so happy with our pet sitter and would absolutely recommend her! She took wonderful care of our cats while we were away and sent photos with every visit, along with updates to let us know how they were doing. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were being well cared for. When we returned home, everything was in great shape, and their litter area had been cleaned thoroughly. She was dependable, attentive, and clearly took great care of them. We will definitely use her again!

- 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.

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.
