“We couldn't recommend Stacy enough! Leaving Hank, our 8 month old puppy at home for the day for the first time was tough, but Stacy made it so much easier. She was timely, trustworthy, sent us detailed descriptions of her visit, and sent us tons of photos. Hank was smiling so big in every photo and was sufficiently tired out at the end of his day from all the playing, walks, and love Stacy provided. We will absolutely be booking Stacy again in the future :)”
“Danielle is a dog whisperer!! Our little guy, Pharrell usually takes a while to warm up to new people and within 10 minutes he was licking Danielle’s face and just loved her. Sent us lots of updates & photos, which we loved seeing while out of town! Thank you Danielle!!”
“Mary Anne has been a wonderful pet sitter. She clearly and regularly communicates, and takes great care of our cat. We love the rover card updates and photos she shares! We absolutely recommend her!!”
“Justina is fantastic! She has been super responsive and communicative. I feel reassured we found someone who really cares to come look after our pups. Don’t hesitate booking with her!”
“Jessica quickly made friends with my persnickety, shy cat and they are now best buddies. She was able to get some great pictures. I would highly recommend Jessica as responsible, easy to work with, and great with cats..”
About: While I don't currently have a dog of my own, I grew up with a golden retriever, Charlotte, and know what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and well cared for — including the never-ending battle with fur (I've vacuumed my fair share!). That experience taught me just how important regular grooming is, and I'm happy to help keep your pup brushed and looking their best. I can administer medication, whether it's a pill, liquid, or topical treatment, so your dog's health needs are always taken care of. Daily walks and playtime are my favorite part of dog care — I need the exercise just as much as your dog does! Whether it's a leisurely stroll, a brisk walk, or an energetic round of fetch, I'm happy to match your dog's energy and keep them active and engaged. I can't wait for the chance to give your fur baby the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life because my schedule is extremely flexible. I'm available both weekdays and weekends, so you won't have to worry about finding coverage no matter when you need it. I can also accommodate same-day requests, so if something comes up unexpectedly, I'm ready to step in. Whether you need a quick daily visit, ongoing walks throughout the week, or an overnight stay while you're traveling, I have the time and availability to make it work. Your pet's routine and comfort are my priority, and my flexible schedule means I can adapt to whatever they need. I love caring for pets in the place they feel most comfortable — their own home. I know that pets thrive on routine and familiarity, so rather than disrupting their environment, I come to them, keeping their space, schedule, and surroundings as consistent as possible. I'm dependable, so you can count on me to show up exactly when I say I will, every time. I'm also detail oriented, which means I pay close attention to your instructions, your pet's habits, and anything specific that helps them feel safe. Above all, I'm respectful of both your pet and your home. I treat your space with the same care and consideration I'd want for my own, and I make sure your pet gets the attention, comfort, and companionship they need while you're away.
“Andi did an amazing job with our very shy cat (who had bolted at the planned meet&greet)- charming him down from his hiding places and getting him comfortable - purrs and cuddles all around. Thank you! we'll certainly look for you next time we have to travel. And she's a much better cat photographer than we are.”
“Lucinda was great! I had a bit of an unusual care situation going on while I was gone this time, but I appreciated her updates and would definitely book with her again.”
“Emma was amazing. She was not only professional and punctual, but she followed all our instructions perfectly. She was great with our boy, and he loved getting to hang out with her and go on walks. We will be booking with Emma again in the future!”
About: I sent two kids off to college this fall and I am looking to pick up some side work with my extra time. I have a five year-old English yellow lab and a rescue two year-old orange tabby cat. I regularly take care of pets for my friends and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule, so I can be very attentive to your animal. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available during the day, evenings, and weekends as well. I have ample time to play with and take care of your animal. I have a large fenced backyard. I have a five year-old English yellow lab and a two year-old orange tabby rescue cat. I am able to separate my pets from yours or they are more than welcome to play together. I am able to crate your pet, if needed.
“Amazing cat sitter! Had to book with her again as she did such a good job taking care of my two cats. Loved her timely drop-ins and pictures/updates I got while I was away. Highly recommend!”
About: Reliable, available and caring. Mother of special needs adult. Own a 6 year old Golden Retriever. Lots of love to give your special family member. I have a very open schedule day or night, except on Monday night. I Would be happy to discuss any special needs owner might have. Trust me to follow all instructions when caring for your pet in your home. I Will respect your space. Free cuddles given all the time
“So grateful Matthew could help watch my place while I was gone. He was conscientious about sending me pics and updates and my neighbor enjoyed his conversation.”
“J Does a great job with my pup and yesterday was super helpful because she drilled him on his commands and helped get some kongs prepped. J is reliable and communicates well.”
About: Small Groups, Big Attention: Personalized Walks for Your Dog With over 20 years of dog care experience, I bring a real understanding of dogs to each walk. What makes my walks different: 🐾 Max 2 dogs at a time. Your dog gets genuine attention, not a spot in a pack. I notice their mood, energy, and cues, every walk. 🐾 Paced to your dog, not the clock. Some days call for a slow sniff walk—letting them read every scent on the block. Other days they need to burn energy with a brisker pace. I adjust in the moment based on what your dog actually needs, not a one-size-fits-all route. 🐾 20+ years of hands-on experience. I've cared for dogs of multiple ages, breed, and temperament—from anxious rescues to high-energy puppies to easygoing seniors. That experience means I can read a dog quickly and respond calmly to whatever comes up. What you can expect: Photo/video updates from the walk GPS-tracked routes Consistent, reliable scheduling A walker who treats your dog like an individual, not a job on a list If you want a walker who slows down when your dog needs to sniff and speeds up when they need to run, let's talk about your pup. I run my business from home. My schedule is flexible. Your pup will get walks and a loving companion. Dogs are my true love and I absolutely adore spending time with them. I have a large fenced yard as well as a dedicated indoor area for pups. Your pup will be able to sit on the sofa with us and snuggle. My pup Bernie loves making friends. They will keep busy
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garden Home-Whitford
We couldn’t have been happier with Stacy while we were away! She was punctual, followed all of our instructions, and took great care of our cat, Nacho. We really appreciated the wonderful photos and updates, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about him. Knowing she was checking on him twice a day gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely use Stacey again and would love to have her care for Nacho in the future. Highly recommend!
Alyssa is fabulous! She did drop in visits while I was out for long days for a convention. The dogs had a great time. I appreciate Alyssa's attention to detail, her understanding of dog behavior and her gift to get to know each pet as an individual. Highly recommend!
Danielle is an amazing dog walker/sitter! We knew right from our meet and greet that she’d be perfect for watching our dog, Nash. She’s so attentive, communicative and her love of dogs shines through! We felt like we could fully enjoy our vacation because she was taking such good care of Nash. Her updates are detailed and amazing and brought a smile to our faces each day! We’ll definitely be booking Danielle again for any pet care needs that arise. She’s a lovely person and I 110% recommended her!
Alina did a fantastic job taking care of our shy elderly cat. She kept to the agreed schedule, followed all direction and sent regular updates at each drop in. She was calm and let him become comfortable with her, so we were able to get pictures of him get pets and attention after each drop in. She also went above and beyond, putting our trash cans out on the curb, after seeing our neighbors put theirs out. We would absolutely hire Alina in the future and recommend her services to others.
Brittaney is such a kind, attentive, and caring pet sitter. She handled my fur babies with distinctly different needs and play styles and made sure they both felt loved and cared for in the way that they prefer and sent pictures and videos of their adventures. I would recommend Brittaney for anyone looking for a true animal lover to watch over their fur babies.

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.
