“Camila was awesome! She came to our rescue when a last minute change to our previous house sitter with Rover experience didn't start off too well. She was responsive, kind, accomodating, and loving to us and our pups while we were out of town. One of our dogs ended up getting a bit sick and she loved on them as if they were her own. She provided timely check ins, with pictures and updates on their time. Will absolutely reach out to her again!”
“Aye did a fantastic job without our dog, Danny. She stepped in at the last minute and allowed took fantastic care of our guy! He smiled all through his walks and his meals! We will definitely contact Aye again and would highly recommend that you do the same!”
About: I have six years of hands on experience with dogs, including volunteering at the Baltimore SPCA, where I handled intake, socialization, and daily care for dogs of all temperatures. I have also trained the dogs that I have had. I work full-time, but my schedule rotates every three weeks — so I always have afternoons free after four, plus two full days off each week. That means I’m available for midday walks, evening visits, and weekend coverage without any gaps. My dogs get a set daily rhythm in the morning and evening walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of rest so I know firsthand what a consistent routine looks like from the inside. Also I follow the owner’s routine exactly feeding times, meds, play, potty breaks and send photo updates after each visit so they always know how their pet’s doing.
“Cheryl took care of out high maintenance pup, Gus, for a few hours today for the first time. They were fast friends! Gus is still working on not freaking out when left alone and he showed no signs of stress when left with Cheryl. Cheryl was great about understanding Gus's ways (and rules) and engaging with him. He was happy and calm when we returned (and tired as a bonus!). We plan on booking Cheryl whenever we need to be away.”
“Isabella is amazing! She was so good and patient with our active sometimes hyper boy King. She is so professional, courteous, communicative and reliable! She really put our mind at ease while we were away on vacation! I highly recommend her for all your pet needs! I would give her 10 stars if I could! Shes that great!”
About: I’ve cared for my own pets at home, dogs and cats, so I’m very used to their routines and daily needs. I also spent a year working at a boarding kennel, where I took care of dogs and cats by feeding them, taking them on walks, giving medication when needed, and making sure they felt safe, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently on summer break from college and have a very flexible schedule with plenty of free time to provide consistent, reliable care for your pets! I do not provide in-home care on Rover due to other animals in my home, ensuring safety and comfort for all pets currently not available.
About: Hi there! I’m Hailey, I currently work at an animal shelter and have worked at a dog & cat boarding place in the past. I am very experienced with caring for all sizes and breeds of dogs! I also have experience giving oral medications to dogs and am CPR certified as well. I work full time from 8-4 Mondays and 8-5 Tuesdays, Thursdays, & Sundays. So my availability would be before or after those times. Or anytime on Wednesdays, Fridays, & Saturdays. I am always excited to meet new animals! I always treat them like they are my own pets and will take great care of them!
“Casie was patient with my rambunctious kitten and compassionate toward my older cat. She also made sure to document and update me daily. Her hard work allowed me to relax and enjoy my vacation. I hope to work with her again for my next vacation.”
“Bronte was amazing. Came home to a calm, happy kitty. Bonus is that she washed his dishes though I mentioned that she could leave it in the sink. She was prompt, kept me well informed, and made sure my baby got plenty of play and love.”
“Riley was awesome! She came over a few days before to get the lay of the land and attempt to meet my cat (she hid and I still have no idea where she was hiding). Suzie did eventually warm up to Riley and even sat in the same room as her! I will be using Riley again!”
“Ryan is fantastic, and I highly recommend him. He came over for a meet in-advance, and said/did a lot to help us feel confident in hiring him. He was prompt, clearly loved our dog, played with her a lot, and took great pics (it helps that we have a gorgeous dog).”
“Haile responded on very short notice and was great with my cat, Joseph. She sent photos and updates which made me feel very comfortable and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Garrison
Casie has been our go-to cat sitter for over a year now, and she is truly exceptional. During our recent 17-day trip, she gave us complete peace of mind with her attentiveness, reliability, and detailed daily updates complete with wonderful photos of our cat.
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!
Kristen A. is a lifesaver! I ended up having to go to the ER after thinking I can just get taken care of at the urgent Care. That led to almost a full week Hospital stay, my pup Oreo was home and because I didn't know how long I'd be there thinking maybe a day or so I decided maybe to try doing drop-in appointments and allowing him to stay home. She came faithfully twice a day giving my dog so much love and attention! She is very good with communication giving updates on how he was doing and sending copious pictures, and very sensitive to my situation. I would definitely recommend her to anyone for drop in care!

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.
