“Paige did such a fantastic job with our dog Ollie! She was very thorough with her Rover Card and kept us informed during the whole visit! She’s also a fantastic dog photographer! Cannot recommend her enough, Ollie had so much fun with her and she kept these anxious dog owners very relaxed during her stay.”
“Lauren was absolutely wonderful with our two big dogs! She loved them and spoiled them while we were away. Lots of walks as well. Her communication was great, and I felt comfortable leaving our fur babies in her care. Thank you, Lauren!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals since I was 10 and am currently a vet student, so I have a deep understanding of pet health and behavior. Whether it’s high-energy puppies or seniors needing extra patience, I provide specialized care including feeding, bathing, and walking. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I’m dedicated to making sure your pets feel safe, loved, and pampered while you’re away. Since I’m a student, my schedule is flexible and I can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can do weekday drop-ins or walks after my classes. Your pets will get plenty of one-on-one attention and playtime with me! I prioritize a safe and stress-free environment, whether I’m in your home or mine. I’m very observant of animal body language and health signs thanks to my studies. I can easily crate pets if needed and I always make sure they’re in a secure, fenced area when outside. I’ll keep you updated with photos so you know your fur baby is happy and in good hands!
“Gabriel is fantastic and does a great job each time he has cared for our dogs. He sends pictures and videos with each visit and notifies us of any concerns. We will continue to use Gabriel in the future!”
“Jordan was a wonderful sitter and took such great care of my cat while my husband and I were on a long trip. She was consistent with her care and provided detailed updates and adorable pictures. Our chronically shy cat really warmed up to Jordan and they were fast friends. As a bonus, Jordan’s sons were welcome and respectful additions. I loved that our cat got to interact with multiple caring people while we were away.”
About: We’ve taken care of animals since we were kids. We love all animals and want to make your pets feel at home even when you are gone. Work from home several days a week and home on weekends. We create a loving and warm environment for all animals. We will take more than just cats and dogs. We are happy to also watch rabbits, fish, frogs, you name it, we will watch it! All animals are treated like family. Pets are allowed on furniture and in beds. We do not have a fenced yard, but we are an active family that love to go on walks and hikes. We have an aussiedoodle who thinks all animals are his friend and loves group walks!
“Joa is awesome! He did such an incredible job taking care of Barky and making sure he got all of the details down. Barky’s (and our) comfort were Joa’s top priority. We greatly appreciate all he did and trust him to watch Barky again!”
“Kris was awesome! Sent many pictures of my cat while I was away, which eased me a lot since I get very nervous about leaving my cat. She was also very easy to communicate with and responded quickly”
“Lydia was great. Wrigley was happy and playful when we came home from out trip. Lydia sent photos and really took great care of our girl! We will definitely use her again in the future”
About: I have 9 years experience of professional dog training. I have 3 shepherds of my own who I use as demo dogs when teaching classes! I work with dogs of all breeds and sizes (always love a challenge:)). I also do a lot of boarding, dog sitting and walking for a lot of my clients and bring my dogs to tag along for a full pack walk! I also do baths, nails, blow drying and brush outs! I currently make my own schedule as I do dog training, grooming and boarding. I am able to attend to every dog immediately and do not need to leave them alone long at all! Sundays are the only days where there will be a 4 hour gap due to church :) I have a fenced and yard with plenty of space to roam and run and I have my 3 shepherds to keep your fur baby company! I also have crates that I can use as well!
About: I grew up with dogs: Jayda-lab/border collie mix and Scottie + Jasmine-Scottish Terriers. I personally trained all 3 to be house trained and all sorts of tricks! From “Speak!” to “Roll Over!”, “Dance!” to “Play Dead!” my dogs could do all the basics along with giving all the loves and cuddles. Now I have my own family and my daughter, Penelope, is DYING for a cat or dog and I want her to learn what it takes to be responsible for a pet (at least in part). Help me teach my daughter (who will be my sidekick if you’re ok with her tagging along when she can), and I promise I’ll love on your pet and be a reliable and professional pet helper ♥️ I’m a Stay-At-Home-Mom and Professional Photographer with my own business so flexible is my middle name! I like to fill my pet schedule during the hours my daughter Penelope is home if I can so she can learn the ropes of pet care in preparation for us getting our own pet soon. My schedule may change week to week depending on my other family member’s needs, but I love having a regular routine with regular clients ♥️ I step into your world and try to provide my services in the same way that you would. From walking them, playing with them, making sure they have food/water, your pet will be well loved while you’re away. I love to bring little treats to connect with them in my own way (with your permission of course) ♥️
About: I have 2 dogs of my own. I’ll treat your pets as if they’re part of my family. I have experience giving insulin injections and oral meds. I’ve cared for puppies to senior dogs. I have experience with dogs with behavioral issues and special needs. I’d love to help care for your pets. I am available daily for drop-ins, walking, playtime in the clients home. I’m also available for overnight stays with your pets in the comfort of your own home. I provide a meet and greet to meet you and your pets to understand your daily routine. I’ll focus on maintaining this routine while you’re at work or away.
“Jasmine looked in on Madison all week. This is the first time Madison was alone so I was especially nervous. She took direction well and made necessary adjustments to make sure Madison as as comfortable as possible. I will be re-booking!”
“Natalee is such a sweet and caring person who genuinely loves the animals in her care. She took the time to come meet us and our cat before the visits started which made us so comfortable. We were gone for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We greatly appreciated all of the photos, updates, notes, time, care, attention and love she gave our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again in the future.”
“Zoe did a great job with drop in visits/walking Maple and Millie! Excellent communication, on time and the pups loved her! Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her in the near future!! Thank you!”
“Amara is great. She has stayed with our dogs for few days and has also done a drop in for us. Our dogs are happy to see her and are comfortable with her. I will continue to use her for our doggos ❤️”

Brittney did a great job with our dogs! She was patient with our one dog that is more standoffish, and she was playful with our other dog that plays never ending fetch! I felt that she made sure they were well cared for while we were away. She kept us updated with messages and pictures. Will definitely use her again.

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.

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.
