“Andrea did such a wonderful job watching my cat, Toby while I was out of town! Andrea reliably showed up on time, fed and visited with Toby. She clearly communicates her visits and takes the cutest pictures. It put my mind at ease to know Andrea was taking care of Toby ; )”
“Anna was a great pet sitter! She was also incredibly flexible, I accidentally booked the wrong dates (I put May instead of April), and she kindly accommodated the change without any issues. Most importantly, she got along really well with my cat, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Matt did a great job taking care of our two cats, Luni and CJ, while we were away! He came over a couple of days beforehand to meet them and was also wonderful with our dogs. Matt was dependable, caring, and communicative, and he even brought in our mail and packages. We really appreciated his help and would definitely have him watch our cats again.”
“Callie is great! She checked in with our dogs precisely on time and left great notes + photos. The dogs love her. One of our dogs is diabetic - Callie was experienced with observing signs of glucose inbalance and administering insulin. We recommend Callie and will request her service in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have always had a passion for caring for animals. Throughout the years, my family and I have welcomed rescue dogs into our home and fostered dogs in need of a safe and loving environment. I currently have a Bernedoodle and a Golden Retriever of my own, both of whom I have been actively involved in training and caring for from a young age. For the past five years, I’ve also provided pet-sitting and dog-walking services for family, friends, and neighbors, caring for dogs and puppies of various ages, personalities, and needs. I’m committed to providing every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I give my own dogs. I’m currently a Dental Hygiene student with a flexible schedule that allows me to provide pet care primarily during afternoons and evenings. I’m happy to work with your schedule and accommodate your pet’s individual needs whenever possible. I want every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re with me! I’ll make sure to follow your pet’s normal routine and pay attention to their personality and individual needs. I’m also big on keeping pets supervised, giving them plenty of attention, and making sure they get their walks, potty breaks, food, and playtime. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own and keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know they’re doing well while you’re away!
“She did an amazing job with my cat Mickey. She provided a lot of updates about what was happening at my house and how Mickey was doing. I would recommend her to anyone who needs someone to watch their pet!”
About: We had a poodle and then a cat in the house when I was a kid. Since then I've lived with several different cats and have been helping to look after friends' pets of various species when they're out of town or unavailable. I completed a course by the Professional Pet Care Association to become a Certified Pet Sitter and Dog Walker. I typically start my primary job at 3pm so late mornings and early afternoons are great for drop-ins or walks. Thursdays and Fridays are my normal days off so I'm available to spend more time with your pets then. The Practical Stuff: Happy to come over and provide food, water, exercise, and scoop litter boxes for your pets. The Other Important Stuff: I want your pet to feel safe and cared for while you're not there. I love petting, cuddling, playing, talking and generally hanging out with any dog or cat that wants the attention. If you have other pets like fish, reptiles, arthropods, etc. I can likely help out with them too. Let's talk about it. I'm fond of house plants and have dozens of my own so I'm happy to keep them watered for you.
About: I have owned my own dogs, and taken care of friends, neighbors, and families dogs all my life. I often house sit and pet sit for friends and neighbors. I love to exercise so I always take long walks, and I am very open to snuggling and playing! I work full time, but weekends are free if you need someone to drop in or walk your furry friends if/ while you are away! In my clients home I am available to let the pets out, go for walks, play time, or leisure time. I will always clean up after the pet and leave the home better than I found it!

I am searching for work as I recently graduated from the University of Kansas with my Master of Social work degree! I have a very flexible schedule so I have plenty of time to care for your baby(ies)! I live in a townhome with a yard and access to walking trails nearby! There is plenty of space for your dog(s) to play, walk, and get exercise!
“We needed a last minute drop in after some flight changes and night shift life. Miranda was quick to respond and so easy to coordinate with! So excited and happy to find someone to trust with our entire world (who happens to have separation anxiety that can make things more difficult to plan and coordinate) we will absolutely be reaching out for future needs/dates again!! Thank you!!”
About: I have been taking care of other people's fur kids for over 25 years and still love doing it. I feel the less stress you can put on an animal the better when having to be away from home. That is why I am so happy to take care of your kids at your home, just to keep everyone at ease. I have a flexible schedule and great with all kinds of animals. Putting your fur kids first with worry free care well your away. I treat your pet as if they were mine own. When I am with your pets they get my full attention, nothing less! I have had the pleasure of owning all different kinds of pets my entire life (38 years) and that helps to make me to be more comfortable/knowledgeable with any type of pet I have in my care. If you have questions or concerns I am open to talk to about anything. I also have references as well to easy your mind before booking me for pet sitting your pets. It is a part of who I am and want to keep doing it as much as I can to reduce stress on the fur kids but also on their humans. I have a flexible schedule and work with each family to do the best I can for them.
“David was awesome. He took great care of our cats. He sent lots of pics and sent us daily updates. It was a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of by fellow animal lover. Will definitely use again”
About: Worked as a supervisor at daycare/ boarding facility for 6+ years. Have been around all breeds and behaviors. Have owned animals of different species my whole life. I am also a veterinary technician so I do know how to administer medications of all types. I work at a vet clinic full time and my days off may vary. Generally I work 7:30am - 5:30pm. On days off I spend time with my fur babies. 2 friendly dogs and 4 friendly cats. I also do have a large and XL breed wire kennel if your pet needs to be kenneled at night. I would love to take your fur baby on a walk if you are willing to work around my work hours.
About: I have 3 dogs of my own that I take care of as well as a 14 year old cat that has a lot of special needs and accommodations. I also watch my neighbors pets when they go on vacations.

I always walk outside when the dogs are outside, even if they are on a leash or in a gated area. I also take them on frequent walks.
About: I have experience caring for my family’s dogs as well as my boyfriend’s dog while their owners are out of town.

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.
