“I have never used the Rover service before, but I had a three week trip planned and didn’t have many other options. I was THRILLED to find someone local to the area with such great reviews, so I decided to give the service a try. I’m so glad I did! I met with Emily once before to go over everything and right away I knew my pet was in good hands. Emily was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond throughout the stay. I will definitely be using her again for future trips!”
“Denise really is the best. When it comes to our babies we put full trust in her. She takes such good care of them and it’s obvious they love her too! I highly recommend her for watching your dogs.”
“Kaitlyn was a lifesaver when we were out of town and my other Dog Sitter fell through at the last minute. She is incredibly professional, always sends very through updates on all of her drop in visits, and she takes the best pictures. Highly recommend!”
“We absolutely loved Jailee! She was so easy to work with and communicated with us the entire time during our trip. She treated our cat like her own family and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our baby!”
“Sherry is great and so helpful. My Saxon is getting used to being with her (4th drop-in visit) and is so relaxed when I get home. Just knowing Sherry can stop by to give Sax a good break and plenty of attention is SO helpful.”
About: I always joke to friends that we have a zoo! I am truly an animal lover through and through! We currently own 2 horses, 3 Great Danes (“horse-lite” haha), 2 special needs cats with cerebellar hypoplasia (the wobbles), a green cheek conure and a ball python. In addition to dogs and cats, in the past I have also owned an iguana, hedgehog, ferret, red-eared slider turtle, goats, llamas and probably something else that I’ve forgotten. I mention this only to say that I am not scared of helping out with whatever animal that you have. I am comfortable administering medications or helping with special needs animals. I am also comfortable helping with horses and livestock in addition to household pets. Let me know how I can make your time away from home as worry-free as possible!! I am currently at home full-time and I am available to drop in to feed and interact with your animals multiple times throughout the day. I follow your instructions for how you’d like your pets contained during the times when I would not be at the house. I only walk animals at your instruction.
“I was very grateful that Shellee agreed to help me with LaRue even though she asked for a days notice she was able to help me the same afternoon and did quite a bit with LaRue. I highly recommend her services. I will be calling on her again!”
About: I've loved and cared for dogs for as long as I can remember. Their unique personalities, playful spirit, and quiet companionship have always held a special place in my heart. Whether your dog is outgoing or shy, I'll provide gentle, patient, loving care and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. Pet care fits perfectly into my schedule, allowing me to provide dependable, attentive, and loving care while giving each pet the time, patience, and attention they deserve. I provide a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets in my home and in my clients’ homes. I follow each pet’s routine, including feeding schedules, exercise, playtime, medications if needed, and plenty of affection. I treat every pet like family and make sure they feel secure, happy, and cared for while you’re away.
“Taylor was great with Sully. I booked with her very last minute. She came over on a Monday to meet Sully and Tuesday she walked him 3 times while I was away all day. She kept me updated and I came home to a very happy dog.”
“Madysen is THE best! She is so thorough with the reports she sent and sent us so many pictures of our sweet boy while we were gone. Will most definitely be asking her to take our pup again! We really felt like our dog was given all the love and care he needed in our absence.”
“Kirsten is absolutely FABULOUS! She communicated with me every step of the way, sent lots of photos, and took extra special care of my dog while providing walking and feeding services. She went above and beyond! Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
About: Hi! My name is Kelley, and I’ve been caring for animals since I was 11 years old. Over the years I’ve cared for dogs, cats, and even horses, and spending time with animals has always been something I genuinely enjoy. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or more shy and reserved, I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m dependable, communicative, and respectful of both your pets and your home. I know how important routines can be for animals, so I’m happy to follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, medications, walks, crating, bedtime routines, or anything else that helps your pet feel at ease. I also spent time working at a veterinary office, which gave me additional experience and knowledge in animal care and behavior. While I’m not a vet tech, that experience helped me become more attentive to pets’ needs and more comfortable handling a variety of situations. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets, and I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and love as if they were my own. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I currently work part-time while earning hours toward my therapy license, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be attentive to your pets’ needs throughout the day. Because of this flexibility, I’m able to check in consistently, maintain your pet’s normal routines, and provide dependable care whether that includes walks, feedings, playtime, medications, or simply keeping them company. I understand how important consistency is for pets, and I do my best to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and respect for the routines they’re already familiar with. In a client’s home, I do my best to maintain your pet’s normal schedule as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, playtime, medications, crating routines, and any other specific care instructions. I know being away from their owners can be stressful for some pets, so I strive to create a calm, comforting environment and give them plenty of attention and affection. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and always aim to leave things clean, organized, and exactly as I found them. Communication is important to me, so I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you can feel reassured while you’re away.
About: I have taken care of my own and others pets for 50+ years. I have 3 indoor dogs of my own and have become the official ball thrower to the smallest of my pets because she loves to play fetch. I also care for the Hummingbirds yearly that visit my yard from March till September. I have a full time job but can feed, walk and care for your pets needs after 5 on weekdays and all weekend beginning at 5 on Friday evening. I will care for your pets with as much love as I do my own. Pets are our family and need to be treated and loved as we would our own. I will honor all likes, food choices and instructions given regarding the animals in your home.
“Sherri was absolutely fantastic! Our Poppy is still so small and requires a great deal of care and attention, and Sherri was exceptional in providing us updates, the best pics, and most importantly loving our Poppy in our absence. And dog owner would be so fortunate to have Sherri care for their fur babies! She is the best!”

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 Fredericksburg 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.
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 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.
