“Allyson was an absolute lifesaver! When my regular sitter was on vacation, she stepped in and took amazing care of my YorkiePoo for 6 days. She came twice daily to walk and play with him, which was such a relief while I was working remotely. From the very first Meet & Greet, my pup was smitten—tail wagging nonstop and showering her with kisses! It’s clear she has a wonderful way with dogs. I couldn’t have asked for a better backup sitter and would highly recommend her to anyone!”
“Carly & Kendric did a fantastic job taking care of our three kitties, and last minute, I might add. One of our cats requires medicine twice a day, and they had no problem with that. They took a ton of notes, sent us a lot of photos everyday, and didn’t hesitate to text me if there were any questions, or concerns. I’m so thankful to have found reliable sitters, and will most definitely be using them again!!!”
“Valerie exceeded our expectations caring for our 13 year old dachshund. She spent ample time with him outside and ensured he ate. We enjoyed the updates with pictures which gave us confidence he was in good hands. We highly recommend Valerie and will request she care for our dog the next time we go out of town.”
“Monica and Gemma took to each other right away! Monica is great about communicating with us. We are new to Rover and leaving our girl home alone. Monica has gone above and beyond all expectations already. Gemma seems to love her visits and I can tell she is being taken great care of.”
“Kaylee is amazing! She took wonderful care of my dog and even assisted me with some cat issues for which I hadn’t even scheduled her for! She went over and above and sent great pictures with every visit as well!! Will definitely request Kaylee again next time!!!”
About: I am third year medical student, and I absolutely love dogs of all kinds. Your dog will be treated like family if he or she is with me. I am an avid runner, and I am happy to take your dog for a run, to the beach, to play frisbee or sit home with your dog with lots of cuddles. Dogs are always welcome and in fact encouraged to join me on the couch or the bed. If you wish, I will give your dogs lots of treats, but only with your permission :). I have cared for numerous dogs, including disabled dogs,- one had back injury that prevented her from jumping and climbing and another was blind and deaf. The dog in my profile picture is my college's emotional support dog. I took her for near daily walks and around campus to visit students and attend campus events. I am happy to take your dog out in the community, and show it off proudly, treating him/her as if he/she is my own dog. I have a dog loving roommate and lots of dog loving friends, meaning there will be no shortage of cuddles for your "fur-baby"
“My babies seemed very happy when we got home nearly like we hadn't been gone at all. Giana did a great job making sure they were attended to and we are looking forward to having her look in on our bouys in the future.”
About: I have 17 years experience in the veterinary service field. With working in clinic and having adopted countless senior and special needs kiddos, I am skilled at giving both oral and injectable medications on a regular basis. I am trained in fear free handling and believe in positive reinforcement training. If you are looking for a person with a passion for animals and the experience to back it up please reach out. I would absolutely love to be your pets new best friend! Right now I am in between jobs so my availability is very open. The only real work around will be the puppy I currently have. My care of your pets will be solely dependent on you and your family’s requests. Every family has different wants for what they are working on with their dog so I am highly flexible to help with that.
“Darcie is THE BEST!! She is the first one I look for to see if she’s available. She is so caring with animals! One of mine recently passed and she made the sweetest gift of a framed picture of my dog with a sweet message which is now on my mantle. It’s such a relief knowing your pet is in good hands when you have to be away!”
“Jordan was amazing with my cats! She took great care of them and played with them as if they were her own. I would absolutely recommend Jordan to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate, and attentive cat sitter.”

“Ben was awesome, very nice, caring and knowledgeable. We felt comfortable letting Ben into our home to care for our animals while we were away. We will forsure be using him again in the future.”
About: I have 4 years of pet sitting experience and genuinely love caring for animals. Whether it’s a walk, drop in visit, or occasional overnight stay, I provide dependable care, plenty of attention, and regular updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. I’m currently in graduate school online, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop in visit, or an overnight companion, I’m happy to work with your schedule. I strive to provide dependable, loving care and regular updates so you can feel confident while you’re away. I prefer to watch the animals in the clients home. I feel it makes them more comfortable when they’re in an environment that they know! I will follow any instructions given and will be just a phone call or text away if you want to check on your pups!
About: Growing up alongside German Shepherds, Labs, cats, and even hermit crabs taught me early on that every pet has a unique personality and routine. Whether your companion is an energetic puppy learning the ropes or a sweet senior dog soaking up gentle, relaxing golden years, I meet them right at their pace. When your pet is in my care, they're treated like family—complete with consistent routines, plenty of attention, and frequent photo updates so you never have to wonder how they’re doing. I’d love to meet you and your pet to make sure we’re a great match! I am currently getting my master's degree and able to drop in before and after my clinical work day! Checking in on your pet will be a great brain break for me, and you pet will get some love and attention! I currently have two cats of my own and observe great caution when opening doors to ensure they don't escape. With your cats, I will do the same and more! With your dog, I will double check gates before letting them into the yard, or triple check their leash if they prefer to do their business on a walk.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Friendswood
Tess did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were on vacation. One of our cats has diabetes and she did great administering his insulin. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures that we very much looked forward to. There were a few things that came up at the house that I needed help with, and she went above and beyond to help out. I was able to relax knowing my kiddos were in great hands. Will 110% book with Tess again!
Sarah was GREAT again!! She's very easy to work with, and takes exceptional care of our pup! She's very patient with our sometimes rambunctious dog, and follows his routines to help keep him calm. She did a great job taking care of our dog and our friends dog, sending lots of picture updates and making sure they were both happy and worn out by the time she left. 10/10 WOULD RECOMMEND!!

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.
