“There are not enough words I can say to express how truly wonderful Alexandria is. She took such good care of my dog, Nova - who had never been boarded or pet sat before. Alexandria took the time to make her feel comfortable and loved, and we so appreciated the photos and her amazing communication. She was so caring with Nova and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing Alexandria was here. She is the best of the best!”
“Cindy does a great job. She's very kind and thorough. And she's reliable as well as supportive. I truly appreciate her help with my kitty when I have to go away. I will definitely book her again ☺️”

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life, and they’ve always been my absolute favorite companions. Caring for them has never felt like a chore-it’s something that brings me joy every day. My husband and I both love animals, and together we’ll make sure your pets feel completely at home while they’re with us. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or long walks, we’ll treat them like part of our family. We know how important it is to feel confident when you leave your furry friend in someone else’s care. You can count on us to provide a safe, loving, and fun environment, and to keep you updated so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I’m on a flexible schedule. Your pets will be never alone, or neglected! I take care of the dogs like our own children even tho we have none! I have a beautiful 5+ all fenced in yard. We are living in a quite neighborhood. Your pet will never be unsupervised in the yard.
“This was first time using ROVER and selecting C.B. was definitely a great decision. She took great care of Rocko and communicated well. Seh committed to and followed thru on all the visits we requested. Her messages and pictures reassured us Rocko was in good hands. Many thanks to you C.B.”
“Abigail was wonderful with my cats! She was reliable, communicative, and sent regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while being away. It was clear my cats were well cared for and comfortable which is all I could ask for. Highly recommend! 🐱💕”
“I’ve never left my kitties behind when I travel and was quite worried about it. I’m VERY pleased with the job Jack did. Although my cats are super shy and wouldn’t be social and play, Jack sent a daily pick to reassure me they were fine. I’ll definitely rebook with Jack should I need to travel again.”
“Cassandra was very professional from start to finish requesting a meet and greet prior to booking and communicating every visit. She sent pics during each session and my girls were happy and healthy when I returned. Highly recommend Cassandra!!”
“Best sitter we've had from Rover so far. (We have talked to several sitters, we liked and were highly qualified). Scott was above and beyond. He had Gremlin be a lap kitty (which he isn't usually, unless he'sstressed) and gave him extra love. It was Gremlin's first time w/o his people since he lost his housemate Dany. Will definitely be our first go to from now on.”
“This was our first time hiring a pet sitter at our camp, and Paul made the whole experience easy. He was reliable, sent regular updates, and our mini australian shepherd, Ziggy, clearly felt comfortable with him. We scheduled a meet-and-great in advance of the first visit to give Paul the lowdown on the routine, and he followed through perfectly on the second visit. We will definitely have Paul help us out in in 2026.”
“Haley has been wonderful with my puppy, Gus! It's such a relief knowing he's in good hands while I'm at work. She's reliable, communicates well, sends updates, and always makes sure he gets plenty of potty time and play. It's clear she genuinely cares about him, and he's extremely comfortable with her. I highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”
“Glenn and Diana were the best sitters ever! We have a very hyper, young lab who does not like to be left alone. We have never used a professional pet sitting service before and Glenn and Diana provided us with not only did they provide excellent pet care, but they were extremely flexible with several last minute schedule changes. They also helped us navigate the Rover app to help correct errors on our part as well as giving our dog some short training sessions with sit, down, and stay while they were spending time with her. Glenn and Diana played a lot of fetch with the dog and gave our cat tons of attention too. Great sitters who really put us at ease! We highly recommend them and Rover!”
“Cathy was fantastic with our kitty! She took as many pictures as she was able (sometimes our cat is recluse) and she communicated very well. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Upon meeting Lianna we immediately got over our appreciation of having someone we didn’t know pet and house sit for us while we were away. Our older dog and cat are too set in their ways to board anywhere. Lianna asked the right questions and provided great answered to ours. She provided great responsive communication when needed and never pestered us with trivial stuff. Ultimately she left our house every bit as clean as when we left, taking care of all laundry and dishes before leaving. We will certainly call on Lianna again for absolutely worry free house and pet sitting service. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“Kiera is a sweetheart! We met prior to the check ins and i felt very comfortable. She was there on time for the times I asked, late evening and early morning. She sent great pics and I could tell my dog was well and happy!”

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Galway 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
