“Nicole took great care of my dogs! She even went above and beyond with one dog who needs their bum wiped or he'll leave messes around the house. I greatly appreciated that! One of my dogs can be temperamental, but Nicole was so good with her and she made sure to let me know daily that things were going well with that particular dog. I appreciated that she accepted their personalities and leaned into them.”
“Oralee is amazing. She's very nice and I trust her completely with Frank. She makes the experience on Rover work for someone like me, who isn't tech savy. I'll be calling on Oralee often.”
“Somiya was absolutely wonderful and took such good care of my dog. She sent photos every day, always showed up on time and made everything so simple. Would definitely recommend!!”
“Emily did an awesome job taking care of my kitties, doggie, plants and birdies while I was out of town. She gave me frequent updates and pics of my little family and they all were alive and well when I returned. I would absolutely use her again…and again…and again..!:)”
About: Background/experience in veterinary medicine. I am very comfortable with giving medication, taking care of special needs/senior pets. I treat every pet as if they are my own. I currently own my own equine business which means I set my own hours. I am a very active person so including other animal duties into my daily life is not difficult. I treat each pet as if they were my own. I would do everything I could to keep them comfortable in their own home while their owners are away. Even if that means sitting on the floor while they take a nap so they don't feel alone.
About: I’ve been passionate about caring for dogs and cats since I was a teenager. Growing up, I frequently pet sat for family members and close family friends, building a strong foundation in understanding pets’ individual needs and personalities. Over the years, I’ve gained professional experience working at several doggy daycares, where I managed groups of dogs, ensured their safety and comfort, and helped them enjoy playtime and socialization. I’ve also provided in-home pet sitting for multiple clients over the past few years, handling everything from daily feedings, walks, and medication administration to play, cuddles, and lots of love. I truly enjoy forming bonds with each pet and giving owners peace of mind while they’re away. Pet sitting is my full-time profession, which means I offer flexible and open availability to accommodate your schedule and your pet’s needs. Whether you require drop-in visits or daily walks I’m here to provide reliable support—often with little notice. Your peace of mind and your pet’s happiness are my top priorities! When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while maintaining your home exactly as you left it. Upon arrival, I follow your detailed instructions to the letter—feeding schedules, medication administration, walking routes, play preferences, and any special routines. I provide plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection tailored to your pet’s personality and energy level, whether that’s energetic fetch sessions, gentle cuddles, or quiet companionship. I send regular updates with photos and/or videos so you can see your pet is happy and relaxed. I also keep an eye on your pet’s health and behavior, and I’m prepared to contact you or an emergency vet if anything seems off. For your home, I’m respectful and tidy: I secure doors and windows, bring in mail/packages if requested, water plants, take out trash, and leave everything clean and organized. My goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that feels untouched—giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.
About: I’ve owned animals since a young child and love them! I am first aid and CPR certified and dedicated to providing safety and comfort to any animals I visit. I love animals and your pets are safe with me! I work flexible hours and can easily handle any requests! I can accommodate most anything you or your pets would need. I am centrally located and efficient as well. I have a fenced yard and one dog that is used to others. My home is a safe space for animals. My yard is safe, clean and a great space to run and play in.
“Nour is a gem! She is an experienced cat caregiver, but we feel very comfortable having her look after our dogs, too! She sent us wonderful pictures of our kitties during her recent drop-ins. Even our most shy cat came out to play while she was here, which really impressed us. We feel very fortunate to have found Nour, and so relieved that we have found someone so professional and caring to look after our kiddos while we are away!”
“I think Heidi did a great job, my do can be a crazy person but she definitely handled everything. I tried to make sure I could support her the best I could while I was gone. Very professional I’d highly recommend her to anyone who needs a sitter or walker or what ever your pets needs are.”
“I can’t thank Ally enough! First time using Rover and she should seriously be part of their ad campaign! Ally went above and beyond with our 4 fur babies and was an absolute treasure when it came to updates at home. Which gave me the peace of mind to actually be able to enjoy our time away. Thank you so much, Ally!”
About: I have been around pets all my life. Volunteered as a foster mom for the humane society and took home pets that needed medication given to them. Been around active dogs like Dalmatians and Australian Shepherds as well as older, docile dogs. Did puppy training classes when I raised my Australian shepherd. I work full time so if you request a booking with me I may send you back a message with the hours I work during that time frame. I've also lowered my rates below Rovers "suggested" numbers and made it to where you can "potentially" book me last minute (If my schedule works for you, obviously). I would love to be that sitter that is helping out someone who maybe had a sitter cancel at the last minute or you had an unexpected event happen and didn't really have it in the budget to hire a pet sitter on top of everything else. Or you are just a frugal gal/guy like me and don't think it should break the bank to hire someone to watch your fur children 😊 I can crate your pets when needed, take them on walks, can administer medications if needed. I work well with lists or rules set out to follow for your pets best care in your home.
“Deborah was great with our dogs! She has such a kind, calm demeanor and connected right away with our dogs. She was punctual, sent lots of pictures, & provided thorough updates. I would definitely recommend her and we will be booking with her again!”
“My dogs adore Alyssa. She has a special way of connecting with all animals. I don’t worry when I leave them in her care because I know they are not going to be stressed and are well cared for along with getting some extra scratches and kisses. I also know that if any problem comes up, with all of her experience, she will handle it. I feel lucky to have her help!”
About: I have always had a love for animals. I have two dogs and two cats. I adopted two of them. I enjoy spending time with animals, it makes me feel stress free I am currently a student athlete. I play softball and majoring Chemistry. I am currently in off season so I will have more free time. I can really fit anything in my schedule. I will safely guide your pets on their walks and their potty breaks. I will love your fur babies just like they are my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gaston
Had her come check in on my sweet orange kitty for a few days around Christmas, she was outstanding! Adrianna went above and beyond and my normally timid cat was extremely comfortable and happy with her. She checked in twice a day and gave him everything he needed and more. An added bonus was that she also did some dishes that were left in the sink! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter and I highly recommend her!
Adrianna did a great job taking care of my cat. She did drop-in visits twice a day. She gave kitty her wet food, replenished the dry food, cleaned the litter box, and played with her to keep her from feeling lonely. Often, Nera will hide from strangers, but she felt very comfortable with Adrianna. I will definitely book with her again. Also, she met my shepherd-mix dog when she came for a meet and greet, and she had a good rapport with him too. I already had him booked in the kennel for this trip, but I would not hesitate to have Adrianna drop in for him either.

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 Gaston 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.

- 98% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
