“Amarantha was AMAZING. I had anxieties about leaving my Leo over a long weekend since he's my little baby. She was very punctual and would communicate with me if she was running late. She even came in a second time since she would be late to the scheduled time to feed Leo. The pictures sent to me were awesome, and Leo seemed very well taken care of when we came back!”
“Kaleigh was great with my dogs while I was away for the holidays! Check ins let me know everything was going good and she provided plenty of notes and photos as well. I felt confident my dogs were being taken care of and definitely treated with care and love. Would definitely recommend Kaleigh and will be hopefully booking in the future next time I’m out of town.”
“Absolutely amazing dog sitter! Adriana followed all of our instructions perfectly and treated Chockie and Storm with so much care, love, and patience. We really appreciated the regular updates with photos and videos—it gave us total peace of mind while we were away. Both pups were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for when we returned. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate dog sitter.”
About: Hello there! My name is Sofía, and I can’t wait to care of your pet! Here are some things you should know about me : I have one dog living with me. I have volunteered at animal shelters, wildlife rescue facilities, and animal therapy organizations. When volunteering at shelters, I bathed dogs, cleaned up their poop, played with, and walked them as well as played with cats. Additionally, I enjoy outdoor activities very much, so I am definitely in shape to walk your dogs and play with them. I hope I can be of service to you and your dog(s). My backyard is unfenced, except for the patio area and a room sized square for dogs to pee/poop in. Dogs are not allowed on furniture, but they can be on the bed if they stay on top of the blanket. If you know your dog won’t run away, we can play in the unfenced area of the backyard :) I do have a 30 ft leash that I normally use to play with my dog outside. I’m free most of the time. I just need more advanced notice if it is an overnight stay over just a drop in at your home. I will care for your pets however is needed and instructed. I have taken care of multiple senior dogs and dogs that take oral medication.
About: I’ve always had a huge heart for animals! ❤️ I was a proud dog mom to the sweetest red nose pit bull, who lived to be around 14 years old before crossing the rainbow bridge. I also have a playful, energetic cat named Mittens who keeps me on my toes! I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, including newborn puppies! I helped a friend care for her French Bulldog and her litter of 8 newborn puppies until they were ready to go to their forever homes. This included waking up every 2 hours for feedings, bottle-feeding, cleaning their crates, bathing, potty training, and introducing them to walking and crate training. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs. Whether it’s a playful pup, a senior dog who needs extra patience, or a curious kitty, I’ll treat your fur baby with the same love, care, and attention I’d give my own! 🐶🐱💕 Being a mom has helped me create a flexible daily routine that allows me plenty of time to care for your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕 After dropping my kids off at school around 7:30 AM, I’m available Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 3 PM for dog walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, cat check-ins, and litter box cleaning. I pick my kids up around 3:45 PM, but I’m also available for evening visits before or after dinner! My schedule allows me to give your pets the time, love, and attention they deserve while keeping a dependable routine. 🐾❤️ Your pet’s safety, happiness, and comfort are always my top priorities! 🐾❤️ As a pet mom myself, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your fur baby. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to respect their space, follow their normal routines, and carefully follow any instructions you provide. Whether it’s feeding schedules, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, or keeping litter boxes clean, I want your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive to each pet’s unique personality. I know some fur babies love lots of attention and cuddles, while others need a little extra time and space to warm up. I’m also happy to provide pictures and updates during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is being well cared for! 🐶🐱💕
“Julian was amazing with our two cats! He showed up everyday on time and left detailed descriptions of what he and the cats got up to! We looked forward to the fun pictures and videos he would send at the end of each visit. We know our cats were in great hands while we were away and we will be booking with him again in the future!”
“Thanks Team Tamara for going above and beyond in filling the birdbaths and tending to the community cat dish outside, even bringing in our garbage bin! Much appreciated! I did the max tip!”
“Michelle is beyond amazing! She came through last minute to assist with my pets! I felt very comfortable with her and she assured me that everything would be fine. I would definitely use her services again!”
“She did such an amazing job taking care of my dog! Not only did she make sure my pup got a great walk, but she also spent plenty of time playing with her and giving her extra attention. Receiving the photo updates was the best part of my day. She’s super reliable, friendly, and truly loves animals. I’ll definitely be booking her again!”
“Valerie was so great at taking care of our Moose while we were out of town for a wedding. She sent very detailed check-in reports and photos every day. She was also super responsive to chat messages. We are so grateful for her effort in making Moose feel safe and cared for while we were away!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats and have been a faithful companion to my black cat, Odysseus, for the last 14 years. I also have experience caring for fish, snakes, and rats! I am working part time so I usually have flexibility during the day between 11am and 10pm to take care of your animals. Weekends are more limited but I can usually find time for an early morning or late night check in. I will be incredibly respectful of your home and do my best to make your pets feel comfortable and loved while you are away. I'll send you lots of pictures and all the detailed updates you want on your pets!
“Jeremy is amazing! The BEST with communication and chipper demeanor. He loved my dogs, and vice versa! I will be bringing him on to walk my baby girls exclusively. Cheers, Jeremy!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I truly love every moment of it. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy or a laid-back senior, I treat every dog as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and loving home where each pup receives plenty of attention, playtime, cuddles, exercise, and individualized care. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, personality, and unique needs so they feel right at home from the moment they arrive. Rover is currently my full-time job, so your pup will receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule, allowing me to stick closely to your dog’s routine, whether that means frequent potty breaks, playtime, meals, medications, or lots of cuddles. We also enjoy time outside in my fully fenced yard, and if your dog enjoys walks, I’d be happy to take them on an evening stroll around the neighborhood. My goal is to make your dog feel as comfortable and at home as possible while you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I do my best to maintain their normal routine by following your feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions you provide. They’ll enjoy plenty of playtime, attention, and affection throughout the day, and when it’s time to wind down, they’re welcome to sleep wherever they’re most comfortable!
“Sam was incredible taking care of our atreven while we were away getting married and on our honeymoon! It was so much easier to enjoy knowing he was safe at home with Sam. We would love to book again for our next trip. 10/10 highly recommend”
About: I may be new to professional pet care, but I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Over the past year, I have helped care for family members' pets by walking them, feeding them, giving them attention, and making sure they felt safe and comfortable. I understand that every pet has a different personality, and I always try to be patient, gentle, and attentive to their needs. I am responsible, dependable, and committed to following your care instructions carefully so your pet receives the best possible care. I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility for pet care. I have availability on many weekdays as well as weekends, and I will do my best to accommodate your schedule. I enjoy being active, so taking dogs on walks fits naturally into my routine. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each owner's instructions regarding walking routes, feeding, medications if needed, and any special preferences. During walks, I pay close attention to my surroundings and make sure pets stay safe and secure at all times. I believe in treating every pet with kindness, patience, and respect, just as if they were my own.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garfield
Amarantha had amazing communication with us throughout the entire drop in session, sent us lots of pictures and even got my cat to play with a certain toy that he NEVER plays with. She put a lot of care and love into my animals and we will definitely be reaching out to her again :)
Soren always goes above and beyond when watching our cat (and cats when we had two). He is attentive to their needs and gives us updates on how they are doing. He notes any changes in their behavior and is willing to be flexible in finding the best way to make them comfortable. Soren has been our go-to sitter for a few years now and we always feel confident leaving pets in his care. He is responsive to messages, so if you have any issues/questions, or need to make changes to the booking, it's easy to hammer everything out quickly. My little diva of a cat has even warmed up to him, and that is a pretty impressive accomplishment.

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.
