“Lauren has been the biggest help to me this week!! I had to double my hours at work and she was SO GREAT with my two big GSDs!! They totally adore her and she loves them and I never worried a minute while I was gone. 3 thumbs up and 11 /10 stars!!!”
“Emily was more than accommodating & very great to work with! She went the extra mile and spent time with my animals to ensure they got attention. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve volunteered in animal shelters, where I helped care for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. Having grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, I understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of providing patient, loving, and reliable care. I am a morning person, who is in PA school 8am-5pm most days. I can do early morning, lunchtime, and dinner drop-ins during the week. I am free all day on the weekends. I provide attentive, personalized care in my home or my client’s home, always following each pet’s routine and specific needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, administering medications if needed, walks and playtime for dogs, enrichment and companionship for cats, and regular updates for owners. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they know and trust.
“Lauren was great in taking care of my baby! I got updates from every visit, which eased my mind. My cat was so happy to have her check on him. Can’t wait to rebook with her soon!”
“Elizabeth was great! I contacted her on really short notice and she was able to work with me on when I needed her to check in on my cats. She did everything I asked and was a great help! Thanks again!”
“Natalie was great to work with. We had to book last minute for a trip. She was very accommodating working out our schedules. She helped us keep our working dog exercised and sent us pictures and updates! It was our 1st time booking with Rover and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience! Thank you, Natalie!”
“Once again, Sabrina was awesome!! Our Tucker actually comes out of hiding for her and gets lots of pets while we are gone. Sabrina is dependable, easy to communicate with, and writes the best updates - she gives us a great feel for how our little buddy is doing. She takes out the garbage and cleans up the throw-ups. What's not to love!!!”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life, long before my family ever adopted our own. We rescued our first dog when I was 7 and loved him up through his grey fur and blindness. I pride myself on understanding animals needs and boundaries. I am currently working a part-time job as well as pet sitting on Rover. I am available before 4pm on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and anytime on weekends! I will always leave a space better than a found it, no waste left behind. Animals will always be put first when under my care.
“Lauren has cat sat for us many times, and we absolutely love her!! Our cat is so obsessed with her that we always joke that he’s gonna replace us with Lauren lol!! Would definitely recommend her.”

About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with a gentle, caring nature and a deep respect for each pet’s unique personality.

“Emma was absolutely fantastic! She really showed care while taking care of our cats! It was a huge relief knowing they were well taken care of while we were out of town for so long.”
About: Hello! My name is Cynthia! I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ranging from small breeds like Yorkies to large breeds such as German Shepard and Mastiffs and several in between like Spaniels and Golden Retrievers. I am comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. Additionally, I have experience in caring for cats and am comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime with feline friends. I am detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care instructions and administering medication, as I know every pet requires a unique approach and care. While your pet is in my care, I will send photos and messages daily so you can have peace of mind while you are away! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine! I work weekdays from 8:00am to 5:30pm, so I can provide morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention before and after work. If your home does not have a dog door, I'm happy to stop by during my lunch break for a midday potty break and walk to help keep your dog's routine as normal as possible. Additionally, I'm comfortable administering oral medications and other routine medications as instructed, and I'm happy to follow any special care needs your pet may have. If you're only looking for a dog walker, I'm available for evening walks on weekdays, making it a great option for those who work third shift or have late work hours. On weekends, I have the flexibility to provide walks throughout the day to fit your pet's schedule and your needs. For house sitting, I stay overnight in my clients' homes so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow animals, I am unable to host pets in my own home. Whether I'm caring for dogs or cats, I'll make sure they receive personalized care, lots of affection, and daily updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care while you're away. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply giving them companionship, I'll make sure they receive the individualized attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your pet's routine and your home. I'll ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep your home tidy, and provide regular daily updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring, reliable hands.
About: I have experience with many kinds of animals. I myself have my 13 year old dog Royal, a 11 year old leopard print gecko, and two hermit crabs who are about to turn 6 years old from their time in my care. I also regularly pet sit for my family and friends. A few examples are my friend who owns two Dobermans. My cousins 2 cats. Or occasionally my Mimi’s farm to feed and care for her 8 dogs, her cat, and a donkey and a horse. I don’t have a set schedule at this moment. I am very open, and can do pretty last minute bookings if I do not have other obligations. I unfortunately cannot provide in home services at this time, however in clients homes I will follow whatever rules, schedules and procedures that are given to me. I am also a very outdoorsy and energetic person so playing or being up will not be a problem.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garland
Once again, Sabrina was awesome!! Our Tucker actually comes out of hiding for her and gets lots of pets while we are gone. Sabrina is dependable, easy to communicate with, and writes the best updates - she gives us a great feel for how our little buddy is doing. She takes out the garbage and cleans up the throw-ups. What's not to love!!!
Emily once again did an incredible job watching my two cats! She always goes above and beyond, even helping me with a house issue and going out of her way to ensure things were in order, plus picking up an additional day when my trip was delayed. Thank you Emily!
We’ve had a wonderful experience with Lisa as our pet sitter! She has been checking on our puppy, Butter, once a day and has been incredibly reliable, always arriving on time and maintaining a consistent schedule. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and we’ve felt completely at ease knowing Butter is in such good hands. We truly appreciate her dependability and the great care she provides- highly recommend!
Absolutely blown away by Melissa’s professionalism! She took great care of my two mischievous rascals. Always on time, many pictures, attention to detail with the love for animals sprinkled on top. Melissa did all that and then some. Highly recommend her services. We’ll be booking her again for sure.
Erin accomplished exactly what I requested. Although I was a bit concerned because I had never left Molly in the care of a sitter, there was no reason for my concern. I had indicated to Erin that I would leave pee pads and bags for their disposal, I completely forgot to leave bags. Erin “figured it out” on her own which I appreciate so much. I will definitely request Erin again should the need arise.
Lauren was very responsive and punctual! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Tucker while I was gone for two days and made sure to go beyond just walking/feeding him but also spent time playing with him and bonding. I loved receiving updates while I was gone.

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.
