“Highly recommend Nevaeh! I felt more at ease using this app for the first time and leaving my pups overnight. She provided updates and included pics every drop in. Would 100% use her again 🤍”
“Xinyu was amazing. Communication was easy. I had a small issue with the food dispenser, and Xinyu made sure Stella was okay, even though it wasn't a scheduled visit day. I recommend her 100%.”
“We had a great experience booking with Tony! He was always on time, communicative, and took great care of Murphy. It was nice knowing that Murphy was getting a good walk and some extra attention while we were away. Murphy clearly loved his walks with him, which made us feel even more comfortable and confident leaving him in his care. We really appreciate how dependable and caring he was and would definitely book with him again!”
“From the moment Amelia met my dogs during our meet-and-greet, it was obvious that she was very comfortable with pets, which was extremely important to me. She was punctual for both the meet-and-greet and every visit, followed all of the instructions, and communicated very well throughout. Most importantly, my dogs were comfortable with her, and I felt they received genuinely kind, attentive, and caring care. I will definitely be using Amelia again for my future pet-sitting needs and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter.”
About: We've had dogs in the house since before we had kids — so by the time our three came along, caring for someone else's pup just felt natural to all of us. A lot of my clients rebook every time they travel. I figure that says more than I could. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pup, offering play, walks, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. 🐶 If your dog has quirks — anxious, older, needs extra patience — I don't mind at all. I once cared for a 15-year-old deaf, low-vision pup through a full stay, and she settled right in.
About: I give lots of love and attention making your furry kids feel like they are at home with the family! LOTS of play time, cuddles, walks, swimming, tug of war...whatever they like to do! :) They are part of the family so we eat, play,rest, walk and do everything together! I also provide transportation to the vet and groomer as well as pet errands. Many of my regulars have favorite chairs and toys when they come to stay. I believe it's important to make them as comfortable and loved as possible! I love it when I hear the owner say their furry one got excited when they turned into my neighborhood or driveway:) I truly love animals with all my heart. We have a Pawsome time! Pet sitting is my career and l am home every day except if l run errands or go to do a pet visit in the neighborhood. We are all together in the family room or outside on the deck during the day and sleep in my room at night. I have toys .balls and stuffed animals to play with and give treats regularly. Some sleep with me while others may like the xoych or chair
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all kinds. I take pride in being a responsible, dependable sitter who treats every pet like family. As a local resident and mom to a sweet 4-year-old daughter who also adores animals, our home is full of love, care, and gentle energy. I understand how important it is to know your furry family members are in safe, capable hands, and I always go the extra mile to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Whether it’s morning walks, playtime in the afternoon, or evening cuddles, I always make time for animals throughout the day. My daughter and I love spending time with pets, so caring for them fits seamlessly into our family’s rhythm. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, administering basic care, and giving plenty of attention and love. Because I work locally and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to devote consistent time and energy to each pet I watch, making sure their needs are always met and they feel safe and happy. In my home, pets enjoy plenty of space to play and relax — I have a large home and a fully fenced backyard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time. I keep to each pet’s usual routine with regular walks, feeding, and lots of love and attention. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow all instructions carefully to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. No matter where I’m watching them, I treat every pet like part of the family.
About: I've spent almost a lifetime taking care of cats and dogs, and I find the bond between animal and owner to be one of the most powerful things on earth. I've been called upon to care for friends and families to pet-sit for them many times throughout my life. I currently have an open weekday schedule so I'm fully available for any and all of your pets basic needs. Weekends are also fully available. Pet safety is a top priority for me, all feeding and walking instructions will be precisely followed. I like to spend a little extra time with pets during feedings just to observe and give them company.
About: I am very attentive in my care giving. There is nothing more important than a safe, loving, and fun environment for your fur baby! I will be your dogs new best friend! My love for animals began when I was small child. Animals are amazing and bring so much joy to our lives... I want to give some of that joy back! I am looking for a fulfilling career doing what I love most, caring for animals and helping those in need. I am very active and believe in daily regular exercise for myself... so walking your dog will be a breeze - (and an additional calorie burning workout for me as well!!) You and your dog will love the attention and care I have to offer!! I work full time and live close by to my home, so potty breaks won’t be missed. I am available most weekends and holidays. I am open to special requests, should you need an extra day or two. I will ensure a safe place for your fur baby while staying at my home by providing a neat, clean space and lots of attention and love!

“Kim was wonderful with our kitty Sofia! Sofia met her every time at the door and was so happy to see her. Sofia ate very well and was very well taken care of by Kim. I would highly recommend Kim to drop in and spend time with your kitty ❤️❤️”
About: Aside from being a lifelong pet owner myself, I have over 20 years of experience caring for all pets. I’ve always had a natural love for animals and treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I also have experience caring for brachycephalic (flat-faced) dogs and understand the extra care and attention they may require. Your pets’ safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! 🫶🏼 I’m a stay-at-home mom, and with my children now in school, I have a flexible daytime schedule that allows me to dedicate time to caring for pets. I’m available during the day for walks and drop-in visits, which makes me a great fit for pets who need some extra attention, exercise, or a potty break while their owners are at work. I’m happy to provide consistent, dependable care and keep pet parents updated with photos and messages during visits. I currently offer pet care exclusively in the client’s home, where pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment. I follow each pet parent’s instructions closely and make sure their pets receive the care, attention, exercise, and affection they need while they’re away. I’m happy to handle walks, potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and plenty of attention and cuddles depending on each pet’s routine and personality.
About: I specialize in shy, nervous, and sensitive pets who need a little extra patience and understanding. My calm energy helps animals feel safe and open up at their own pace. Even the ones who “don’t like people” usually end up loving me 🐾 I plan my weekly routine around my pet care commitments to ensure reliability and consistency. I’m organized, punctual, and mindful of each pet’s schedule, whether that’s feeding times, walks, or medication. I take this responsibility seriously and make sure every pet receives dependable, quality care. Your pet’s safety and emotional comfort are my top priorities. I create a calm, secure environment and take the time to understand each pet’s unique personality, especially those who are shy or sensitive. I’m very attentive, gentle, and communicative, so you can feel completely at ease while your pet is in my care.
About: I've owned a variety of dogs of every breed and size, (Gr8Danes, pekingese, doodles, terriers, the list goes on) all from a very young age. I've had puppies, to special needs seniors... All of whom have different skills sets required for their care. Im currently a stay at home Mom. One of my children is a 2 time cancer survivor and requires a flexible schedule due to her weakened immunity. My schedule is pretty packed as a busy mom before and after school... but my availability during the day and on weekends is usually fairly open for visits, walks, cuddles or any type of care. I'm more than able to follow any schedules you may want to follow. Including eating/medication times as I know and respect how sensitive some animals are.
“She was prompt and super kind! Quick response time. One of the days she came to visit our pet, the rover app was down, so she went out of her way to check in & send pictures through text. Awesome experience!”
“Tracy is top-notch. She has helped me out a number of times, is very reliable and Ginger loves her. As a cat Dad I am grateful and feel assured when I have to go out of town. Highly recommended and appreciated.”

We had a great experience booking with Tony! He was always on time, communicative, and took great care of Murphy. It was nice knowing that Murphy was getting a good walk and some extra attention while we were away. Murphy clearly loved his walks with him, which made us feel even more comfortable and confident leaving him in his care. We really appreciate how dependable and caring he was and would definitely book with him again!
We had a wonderful experience with Sabrina during her drop-in visits with Luna. Luna is an 8-year-old Siamese with a strong personality — a "cool customer" who shows affection on her own terms and doesn't warm up to just anyone. Sabrina read her perfectly: she gave Luna the playtime and attention she needs without pushing, and let her set the pace. She was reliable, communicative, and sent updates that showed she genuinely paid attention to Luna's quirks. If you have a pet with opinions and want someone patient and truly caring, Sabrina is your person. We'd have her back in a heartbeat.
Christina was great. This was the first time we used Rover. I was nervous to leave our dogs alone, and it was the first trip we had gone on in a long time because of it. There was a time that I forgot to schedule a visit, and she didn’t hesitate to drop in. It was truly appreciated. Thank you!
Alexi did an outstanding job taking care of our dog, Teddy, while we were away on vacation. She was incredibly reliable, communicated with us throughout the trip, and kept us updated with messages and photos that gave us complete peace of mind. She also went above and beyond by bringing in our packages and mail, which we really appreciated. It was clear she genuinely cared about Teddy and treated him like he was her own. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a house that had been looked after too. We wouldn’t hesitate to book Alexi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional pet sitter!
I can’t thank Sofia enough for being so flexible and accommodating. My plans changed unexpectedly, and I had to adjust the schedule for her visits, but she adapted without any issues and was incredibly helpful every step of the way. She kept me updated on my dog the entire time with photos and detailed notes, which made me feel so relieved and at ease. Since it was my first time using Rover, I was a little nervous, but Sofia made the whole experience wonderful. I honestly recommend her 100%! She is responsible, reliable, and truly committed to the pets she cares for. I will definitely book with her again! Thanks so much 💙
Abby was absolutely amazing!! She took amazing care of our three cats while we were away and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. She was very communicative, followed all of our instructions, and provided detailed updates that gave us complete peace of mind. It was obvious she genuinely cared about our cats, and they loved her too! We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
Meara was available last minute and I felt at ease because of how communicative she was! From the pictures it looks like my dogs had a wonderful time with her! I am so grateful for all the details and knowing my dogs were safe and well cared for. I will definitely use her again in the future.

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.
