“This is the second time I’ve had Emily take care of my cat and it’s so wonderful getting to leave town with total peace of mind knowing she is being taken such great care of! Emily is always responsive, and goes above and beyond during her visits! You won’t regret leaving your pets in her care - she is awesome!”
“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.”

“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 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.
“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.”
About: Lifelong dog and cat owner experienced with daily care, walks, feeding, medications, and giving pets patient, loving attention in a safe, dependable, and caring environment. After a long career in public education, I’m embracing this next chapter with open arms — and open doors. Your cats and dogs won’t just be watched; they’ll be genuinely enjoyed, with all the time and attention they deserve.” Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. As a retired educator, I bring the same watchful eye and calm, steady presence to every visit that I brought to the classroom for years. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a drop-in visit, you can count on me to show up, pay attention, and treat your pets — and your home — with the utmost respect and care.
“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!”
“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: I have grown up taking care of a wide range of animals. I grew up with pit bulls. I currently have two cats and a Newfoundland puppy. Your pets are in great hands! :) Back in Texas caring for pets ! I am currently staying in Texas for September, but I am very flexible at the moment for any pet care needs. Shoot me a message and I will always try to reply ASAP. I have a fenced yard. All my pets are other pet friendly. I’m very attentive and available for any needs. Can be flexible and do multiple visits.
About: I believe what sets me apart is my experience working in a veterinary clinic, where I’ve gained hands-on knowledge of animal health and behavior. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and staying calm in stressful situations. I’m also very reliable and make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely while keeping owners updated, so they always feel at ease. I’m currently working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time to give your pups lots of attention, play with them, and make sure they’re well taken care of! I’ll be able to keep them company throughout the day and give them plenty of love and exercise. I will always make sure a pet is comfortable in my home. I may live in an apartment, but I will make sure your furry friend goes on as many walks as they want.

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 .

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements.

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 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.
