“Cari was an amazing cat sitter!!! I had to go on a 1.5 week trip last minute during the holidays and she thankfully was available during that time! She was always super timely with her texts and sent daily pictures/updates through Rover. Could not imagine a better cat sitter!”
“Amber is a life saver! She is super flexible, responds quickly and is very considerate about how we raise and train our pup. We have used Amber’s services several times this month and we’re very happy with the care she provides. Boba is always very excited (and relieved) when she visits!”
“Jennifer B. is an excellent petsitter for our cat, Bella. We have used Jennifer B. on four different occasions over the past year for drop-in visits for Bella. Jennifer B. is trustworthy, very efficient, posts pictures of her interactions with Bella during her drop-in visits, and MOST IMPORTANTLY--she is a good caretaker, and our Bella loves Jennifer B.!! ❤️🐈⬛🥰”
About: I’m a responsible, compassionate pet sitter and dog walker with hands-on experience as a dog walker at the Humane Society. I enjoy caring for pets of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, and I always prioritize safety, consistency, and positive interactions. I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule throughout the week. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, allowing me to provide walks, drop-ins, and extended visits without rushing or overbooking. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I follow all provided instructions carefully. I prioritize leash safety, secure doors and gates, clean environments, and constant supervision. My Humane Society experience has trained me to stay calm, observant, and responsive to different behaviors and needs.
About: I have experience with potty training all my puppies since I remember. I am a dog lover but I also love and care for all animals in general. I have also foster a dog last year and it was one of the most satisfying experiences in life. Being able to provide care for those little ones who we love so much. I am free all day every day. But I do have preferred schedules I would like to follow for safety. Regardless, I am flexible to work with what’s best for the pet. Happy to take furry babies in my home. I have a very nice gated park/gazebo are where pups usually meet and play during the day. I will work with the resources provided and go above and beyond to accommodate the needs of the pet.
About: I'm Hannah! I have two boys, ages 3 and 7. My kids are great with dogs as we have been doing Rover for over 6 years. We are dog lovers and we would love to have your doggy in our home while you are away! I can offer as much or as little outside time that’s needed. Your baby will be in great hands while you’re away and you won’t miss a beat with all the pictures that are sent your way. Your dog will get a lot of outside time, exercise, play time, snuggles and freedom. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. (: I have a flexible work schedule and work from home 3 days a week. We love to be outdoors playing but are also completely fine staying inside and relaxing. We treat any dog in our home like family. We try to make them feel as comfortable as possible as we understand that being out of their home and away from their owners can cause different behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, hyperness, etc.
“I absolutely recommend Corrinna as a care giver for anyone's pets. We were away for Memorial Day weekend and were thrilled that she was able to fit our fur babies into her busy schedule. Knowing that she is retired and dedicating all her time to pet sitting and drop-ins put our minds at ease. We knew our pups would be well cared for, and they were. Corrinna was on time for the drop-ins and sent pictures and messages with every visit. It was obvious that she was loving on them and that they were happy and content while we were away. We will definitely be booking Corrinna in the future!”
“Arnie was fabulous! My dogs love him and feel comfortable to let him in the house without us being there. He did a great job take care of the babies. Will book with him again when we need it!”
“Fantastic sitter! Very easy to work with and flexible with arrival times. Kept in contact with us and sent updates every day. The dogs immediately took to her. Will definitely keep in mind to use again.”
About: People that know me best would tell you I'm the person at a party who's hanging with the family dog. I've had dogs for as long as I can remember and currently have two fur babies (Nala and Kovu). I work from home full time & have a flexible schedule, reliable transportation and a desire to help others give their pets more schedule freedom. I own two large breed dogs and care for a family members GSD regularly as well. I am well versed in dog breeds big and small.
“Abigail is wonderful! She takes excellent care of pets and is detailed, communicative and awesome to work with. Highly recommend to anyone who wants their pets in the best of hands.”
About: Ive never known a time I didnt have dogs and cats. I have experience working with large breed working dogs as well as smaller dogs and everything in between. The only dogs that intimidate me are Rottweilers and chiuahahas! I love cats. I have extensive experience with fish and some birds too. I currently have 2 conures. I have a saltwater fish tank and a fresh water betta tank so I can easily care for your fish as well. I have a german shepherd pup myself and shes super friendly. I dont have to bring her around your pets. I let her outside about wvery two hours to play. We play ball and fetch. When the weather is good we go on long walks or hikes in the woods. I currently use a wireless gps fence for my dog. In your home I would certainly rely on a fence or a leash. I would not want to be responsible for an injury to your fur baby.
“Abigail went above and beyond to care for a stray mother who had her kittens who tragically passed away before I got home. She is a very caring and attentive sitter who I completely trust with my home and babies :)”
“It’s always a little nerve-wracking leaving your pets with someone new, but Leslie was really fantastic! She was very communicative, went above and beyond, and sent lots of photos of our cats which is always a joy when we’re away from them. We really felt like they were in great hands. Next time we go out of town we will definitely have Leslie as our first choice of pet sitter:)”
About: I've cared for not only my own pets but I've been pet sitting for friends, family and neighbors since I was about 12yrs old. I currently care for my own dogs, fish, and several reptiles. I know what I'm doing and if you choose to book with me, rest assured your pets are in great, caring and knowledgeable hands. I currently work full time as a dog trainer, and part time as a pet caretaker for a few friends. I have a fairly flexible schedule, and would be happy to do drop ins or take your fur babies out for a walk when needed. My days where I have full availability are Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. I ask plenty of questions about the animals ahead of time, if any meds need administered, any routines to stick to, ect. I don't ever wanna put stress on a pet or throw off any routines. I've worked with just about every dog breed imaginable, and am always up for a challenge.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Funkstown
Amazing experience. This was our first weekend away since the addition of our kitty boy and the nerves were high with a sitter falling through previously. She was amazing, sent the cutest pictures during check ins. We got home and he was content and thriving. 10/10
Emily is truly a god-send. My very picky with people dog just adores her. It gives me such peace of mind to have someone who cares for my dog so well when I need to be away. This was my third time hiring her for drop ins. Do yourself a favor and book her (just don't take the days I need 🤣🤣🤣). Thank you Emily!!
It’s always nice when you can go on a vacation and not worry about your pets! From the moment I met Charlotte B. I knew I would not be worrying about my cats, any of them. I have indoor and a few outdoor strays/feral. Charlotte sent tons of pictures and updates everyday. She’s reliable, consistent, and kind. She also went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and watering my outdoor plants. I will definitely be rebooking with Charlotte B.

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 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 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.
