“Wonderfully amazing! We have had multiple issues with previous Rover sitters. Tera is the only one who we will be trusting to watch our pets from here on out. She is phenomenal, well, educated on dog body language and behavior did phenomenally with our three large dogs as well as our cat we thought we were going to have to leave our honeymoon early because we were having issues with the sitter that we had booked Thankfully, Tera was able to swoop in and save the day as well as our trip. If you need a pet sitter look no further.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better pet sitter! She went above and beyond caring for our two dogs and our cat while our family was away for a week. She was incredibly reliable, kept us updated with messages and photos, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands. We came home to three happy, well-cared-for pets and a house that was just as we left it. We are so grateful for the extra care and attention she gave them and will absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've been working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments for over 20 years, so I offer more than just a walk—I provide expert, attentive care.

“My two fur babies are very happy and enjoyed their time with Mariah!! She was super prompt and gave them all the love and care they deserved!! Will return to Mariah again!!!”
“I cannot emphasize enough how AMAZING Hayley is! Not only is her service impeccable, you can tell through the pictures and notes she leaves on each and every visit how much she truly loves animals. This is the second time we have requested her to watch our animals because after the first time she did when we were in desperate need of a sitter, she blew us away! Hayley goes above and beyond to make sure our animals are well taken care of. She even checked our mail when I had a gift coming for my husband that I didn't want getting ruined. She has a customer for life! Thank you for all that you do Hayley!”
About: I’ve grown up around multiple animals, having dogs and cats and other exotic animals. I also used to watch neighbor’s pets if they needed me to. Pet care fits into my daily routine because I am a college student who is always on the move and looking for new adventures to go on! I do not offer pet sitting in my own home due to living in an apartment with roommates, but depending on your living situation I always make it fun for the animal wether that’s playing outside or going on a walk.
“Austin kept in contact with me im every visit with Coco. And took great pictures of her and of our birds. He swept the dog hair from the floor. He does a great job. We will definitely use his services again for Coco.”

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 Gainesboro 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.

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 use the 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.
