“Cindy has been incredible. She's provided great updates, made sure that my pet is comfortable, and I have been at ease the whole time I've been away knowing that Cindy has been checking up on everything. Can't recommend her enough”
“She was fantastic with my cats and at working with me when my flight got cancelled. She went above and beyond even what we requested and my kitties loved her :) 12/10 would recommend”
“Madeline was awesome! She was communicative, sent wonderful photos, and did a great job! We were able to rest easy knowing our cat was in great hands while we’re away! Thanks, Madeline!”
“Joseph was absolutely wonderful! He took great care of my cats and was super accommodating to their needs (one is really shy and he made sure to lay eyes on her and know she was okay, even if she didn't come out.) Super highly recommend!!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for over 5 years and currently have one of my own. I love pets and would take the upmost care of your loved one! I have experience taking care of puppies. I work from home most of the week and have a flexible work schedule so I’ll have plenty of time to take care of your pet! I’m also free nights and weekends. I have a dog of my own, Bernie, who I love and give much attention and care too. I would do the same for your pet as well!
About: I have experience caring for big and small dogs, including dogs with special dietary and diaper needs. I have extensive experience caring for cats, and am experienced in rodent and exotic pet care, too. I believe in bringing positivity and gentleness to your home as I care for your beloved pets! I’m very flexible! I have a kitty, hamster and fish of my own who have a regular schedule which is easy to work around. I understand the need for regularity and routine when it comes to animal care. I ensure my kitty, Finn is surrounded with creature comforts, as he is an indoor-only cat. I try to stay in tune to learn his preferences for play, food, socialization or space, etc. I am diligent about not leaving items around such as strings, small objects, bags, and other safety hazards. I monitor his food and water intake closely, and make sure to inspect his litter box contents. My hamster-Berry-gets play time with me outside of his enclosure and loves it. He used to be very shy but it coming out of his shell. He loves hard boiled eggs, meal worms, and seeds! I have a planted 10 gallon aquarium with betta, shrimp, otocinclus, and a snail. It requires regular maintenance to water quality and being in tune with the needs of each member of the community.
About: We are dog lovers who lives in a quiet neighborhood in the town of Chili. We have recently adopted a puppy who is very excited to have a friend to play with! He is one year old and a lover of all dogs! I love taking dogs on long walks and/or runs, and would do such on your request. I am willing to accommodate special diets upon your request (all food must be provided). While I do work September-June, I spend most time outside of work at home hanging out around the house. My partner works from home most days, so is often home when I am at work. Your pup will usually have a human around! On days where my partner works away from home, they would be kept in a dog safe room or crate. My home is convenient to 490 and the airport Why I love dog sitting I have always been a lover of animals. I have been a dog owner for much of my life. I love giving my pup an opportunity to play with new pets. He loves it! About my yard Small fenced area for dogs to play freely. Dog will not be allowed in fenced area without 100% supervision. Quiet neighborhood where dog would receive regular walks. Additional info: While I'm not a certified dog trainer, I have a passion for training dogs. I use positive only training methods. I firmly believe a tired dog is a happy dog, so i will do my best to ensure your dog is enriched both physically and mentally. Most days there is someone home at all times (one of us works from home for the majority of the work week). Overnight sits only - potty breaks max every 6 hours (only when both of us are working out of the home). We are able to accommodate a variety of pet needs. Please let us know if there are any special accommodations your pet will need when staying with us.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was 4 years old, and recently rescued a dog of my own. I began training and caring for her myself starting when she was 9 weeks old. I am very comfortable around dogs no matter what size. I have experience I with positive reinforcement training for puppies as well. I employed full time but my schedule varies based on the day. My weekends are usually very open, allowing me to provide services at almost any time on Saturdays and Sundays! I value positive reinforcement for dogs and will always put the safety and health of your dog first. I will care for the needs of your dog and make sure they are comfortable and happy.
“Jenine did a great job checking in on my cat. She kept me updated with pictures after every visit and gave my cat the love and attention she needed. I felt at ease knowing she was caring for my girl while I was away. Will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: A graduate of the Eastman School of Music, I'm currently a flutist with the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra! I've been missing my spunky dog Kora who lives back home and have always grown up with dogs, which is why I've been a sitter for Rover since I moved here in 2021. Since then, I have done dog sittings, cat sittings, and even bird sittings! I love going for walks/runs, just hanging out, or curling up in the couch at home-- hopefully your dog loves some of these too! I've been taking care of dogs in total for around 15 years now, so I'm used to taking them out fairly frequently, getting up early for a morning walk, and bathing them. I am more than happy to take your dogs on a walk, or drop in and make sure they're well-fed and happy. I'm most experienced in home-care and will happily take care of your furry friends and house in whatever capacity you need! I've raised my dog Kora from puppyhood and am very familiar with the training required for puppies and dogs with reactivity. I have also fostered a handful of dogs (small dogs and large dogs alike) over the last few years and have experienced shy dogs who take some time to come out of their shells :) As a musician, I have a few hours here and there scattered throughout my day that I can walk or stop by/watch your pup. I'm a very active person and love being outside! I am more than happy to be outside/in your home with them as well! I unfortunately cannot house your furry friends because of my housing situation.
“Ona did a great job! She easily followed my complicated instructions ;) She sent an informative update and cute pics from each visit. My kitty loved her. Would definitely hire her again, except I'm moving out of state.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my entire life and no two are the same. It’s my priority to care for your pet’s specific needs to ensure their comfort❤️ I mostly work evenings so I’m best suited for morning and afternoon walks. For house sitting, same availability applies but I can accommodate nightly check ins. It’s essential to me that your pet feels comfortable! It can be stressful for them to away from you so I’ll do my best to keep their routines in their home environment.
“Kathryn has done an amazing job with Gus in the couple weeks she’s been coming to let him out! He’s so much happier when I get home from work now after a long day! Thank you!!”
“Heather was the BEST with our senior dog and understood how much our chewy is loved and not just our dog but family, I would 100% recommend her and use her in the future. THANK YOU beyond a million Heather ….”
“Morgan was amazing with our kitties! She went above ad beyond taking care of them during the holidays, and they loved getting pets and playing with her. She was very responsive, communicative and accommodating. 100% recommend!”
“First official walk and it went amazing! Even my little Chihuahua, who is very picky didn’t give her any issues putting on his leash! They love her! Super happy 🩷”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gates Center
Hollis took excellent care of my Mish Mish while I had a last minute trip; I had to extend my trip due to weather and Hollis agreed to cover immediately. I do fear Mish Mish perhaps is disappointed that I’m back, lol. I recommend Hollis 100% if you need a reliable and excellent cat sitter.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
