“I had a great experience with Maryna!! She was able to accommodate a last-minute request to walk Lily and was very communicative throughout the process. She was reliable, friendly, and made everything easy. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Laura provided exceptional care for our two dogs while we were away. From the very first meet-and-greet, our dogs took to her immediately, and we knew she was the perfect fit for our family. She communicated wonderfully throughout our trip, keeping us updated and sending lots of photos at every visit, which gave us tremendous peace of mind. Our dogs had a few unexpected accidents while we were gone, and Laura handled everything without hesitation, cleaning up right away and even washing and sanitizing the affected items. It’s clear that Laura genuinely cares about the pets she watches and treats them as if they were her own. We came home to two happy & well cared for dogs, We would absolutely book with Laura again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. 🐾❤️”
“We initially booked Xiaotong for a few days but we had an emergency and needed to travel internationally so we kept rebooking her for 3 weeks. We are so happy that she was able to look after our babies. And she went above and beyond! We only trust her with our babies. Thank you so much Xiaotong!”
“Heather was absolutely wonderful with my 8 month old, very excitable/nervous pup. She showed a lot of general behavior knowledge in working with him to help overcome his fear of people. He's got a ways to go, but her help in providing a good experience was greatly appreciated. Thank you!”
“Glen did an excellent job taking care of Coco. He gave her a walk, made lunch and all the required water and bathroom breaks. We will leave coco again under the excellent care of Glen.”
“Valerie did a great job for us while we were out of town for five days. Our dog, cat, fish, and house were well taken care of. We enjoyed being notified via the app when Valerie started and ended her visits. Her added photos and videos of our animals provided us assurance all was well and were fun to see. We provided Valerie with detailed care directions for our dog, cat, fish, and house needs. It was great to see those directions being put into action via Valerie's photos and videos. Thank you, Valerie, for taking care of our pet family members and home while we were traveling. We greatly appreciate your efforts.”
“Could not have asked for a better first time experience with Erin. Super communicative. Was willing to adjust to changing pet care instructions and visitation schedules. And reasonable value for what we needed (bearded dragon care). All in all, I would highly recommend Erin and we’ll definitely be using her services again!”
“We are so thankful for the great care Amy gave to our dog Brody while we are were away. She was so great about giving us updates and took extra care to help solve small things that came up. We look forward to having Amy help us again in the near future!”
About: I've been a pet owner (dogs and cats) for more than 20 years. My current dogs are both rescues and each comes with their own unique personality, so I'm open to the quirks of lots of different pets. When I'm caring for your pet, they will be my only focus, and I can help with medications and whatever training you're working on with your pet family members! I'm newly retired, so I have time and flexibility to care for your pets! Just let me know what you are looking for and we'll make it work! I can walk dogs during the day or evening, and overnight house sitting with pets is right up my alley. I'll be happy to treat your pets like family. I am glad to maintain whatever routines your pet is used to, and while I'm staying at your home, I will be happy to maintain their walks, meals, snacks, medications, games, etc. I know how important trust is when inviting somebody into your home, so please feel free to share any questions you have with me.
“Heather is fantastic! She is lovely with our pup and dedicated to utilizing her time with him each day to the fullest! We love reading her reports after each visit and she takes the best photos of our handsome boy!”
“I can’t enough AMAZING things about Megan! She has been a God-sent for our new baby Onix and she cares for him so much! She is careful with what he encounters outside and is helpful keeping consistency with us on his command words we are training him with.”
“Jasmyn does a great job communicating, taking pictures, and I think really enjoys taking care of our dogs. We had a last minute change and were so so greatful she was able to help us out! Will definitely use again!!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, and they have always been an important part of my family. I have experience with both small and large dogs and have always loved caring for and spending time with them. I especially enjoy being active and going on walks with dogs. I also have seven years of experience training dogs through my local 4-H program, where I developed hands-on experience with training, handling, and building a strong bond with dogs. My lifelong experience with animals and my love for being active make spending time with dogs something I truly enjoy! I’m currently working as a part-time employee for Rover. My available hours are M - F between 5:00 pm - 8:30 pm, and weekends may vary but typically Saturday - Sunday from 10:00 am - 5:00 pm I can be available. I am comfortable with most pet needs such as feeding, checking for fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, and crating (if your pet is kenneled). I also make sure your pet has some quality play time during my visits!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fox Valley
We have been very happy with Nina’s service. She is great with our older cats, and they with her! She also feeds my fish and monitors the high tech fish tank. She is very conscientious and we have been very comfortable going away with her looking after them all.
Bonnie was great. She was available for a drop in On short notice. She messaged when she arrived, sent a picture and hand fed my 17 year old cocker spaniel. She will be house sitting my dog and cat toward the end of the month so I'll be able to enjoy my vacation knowing that they will be well cared for.
Mia was absolutely wonderful! This was my first time using her as a dog sitter, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She was kind enough to come by for a meet-and-greet beforehand, which made me feel so much more comfortable. She was punctual, responsive, and kept me updated with adorable pictures throughout the visit. It gave me great peace of mind knowing my dog was in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!
We were extremely pleased with the care our pets received. During a period of severe weather, she went above and beyond to ensure they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for. She kept us updated with regular communication, which gave us great peace of mind while we were away. Her reliability, compassion, and dedication to our pets was outstanding.
Jennifer has been such a great find on Rover. She was so invested in the care with my cat even before the cat sitting started, taking notes , preparing ahead of time . She has such a warm, friendly and kind approach when you meet her , even in our messages prior to the meet and greet . She sent thorough daily reports and 4-5 pictures a day which was so fun to see . I’m very confident in using Jennifer again for Rishi and feel so lucky to have found her !!
Sarah is absolutely the best pet sitter there is. She is reliable, very caring and extremely responsible in taking care of my cat. She goes out of her way to spend extra time with your pet, as well as taking care of the normal tasks of checking their food, water, etc. Once you have her as your pet sitter, you won't want anyone else, trust me!

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.
