“Lauren provided amazing service! She was attentive, reliable, and treated my sister's cat with so much care. I felt completely at ease knowing she were in her hands. I will definitely be booking her again.”
“Lisa is a wonderful pet sitter. Our dog and cats are always in good hands. We never have to worry about them and she cares for them like her own. Lisa always goes above and beyond! We are very lucky to have Lisa ! We highly recommend Lisa for any of your pet care needs. Thank you Lisa for all your compassion, kindness, and help! The Elmer’ Family”
“James was great during drop-in visits with our two cats! His rover cards were very thorough, and he was easy to communicate with. Even our cat who is shy around strangers felt comfortable and wanted pets from him by the end of his time caring for them. I will definitely rebook with him in the future!”
About: What truly sets me apart is my professional background. As a special education teacher with seven years of experience in the classroom, patience, structure, and the ability to adapt to individual needs are woven into everything I do. I bring that exact same mindset to pet care. I understand that every animal learns and communicates differently, and I excel at reading body language and adjusting my approach to make sure every pet feels safe, understood, and comfortable. Alongside having pets my entire life, I have spent the last 8 years providing dedicated pet care for family members and neighbors. Because of my teaching background, I am highly reliable when it comes to maintaining strict daily routines. This makes me particularly well-equipped to handle the unique needs of different life stages: Senior Care: I am incredibly patient and comfortable maintaining the slow, gentle pacing and strict medication or dietary schedules that senior pets often require to thrive in their golden years. Puppy Care & Training: I thrive on consistency and positive reinforcement. I am highly capable of maintaining the firm but gentle boundaries, frequent potty breaks, and structured play that young pets need while they are still learning their manners. Whether your pet needs quiet, gentle companionship or structured, engaging play, I have the experience, reliability, and heart to provide care that is perfectly tailored to them. I believe in complete transparency regarding my schedule so you know exactly when your pet is receiving my undivided attention: Summer Hours (Now – August): I am currently working a shorter schedule and am fully available for walks, drop-ins, and playtime every day after 1:30 PM. Fall Hours (Starting in September): I will be working my regular full-time schedule until 4:00 PM. However, my evenings will be completely open and dedicated to after-work walks, dinner routines, and evening companionship! I look forward to meeting your best friend and providing them with the highest level of care! I know firsthand that leaving your furry family members can be stressful. My goal is to provide a safe, engaging, and loving environment so you can have complete peace of mind while you are away. I treat every animal in my care with the exact same affection and attentiveness I give my own. My Experience I have been surrounded by pets my entire life, which has given me a deep, intuitive understanding of the daily care, patience, and affection animals require. For the past 8 years, I have been the trusted, go-to pet sitter for my neighbors and extended family. This hands-on experience has taught me how to adapt to different temperaments, respect established household rules, and quickly recognize when a pet might be feeling anxious. As a special education teacher, patience, compassion, and structure are at the core of who I am—and I bring those same qualities into how I care for your pets.
“Miranda is very caring! I fully trust her caring for my puppies (3 and 6 month old puppies), she plays and interacts with them the whole time she is with them. Miranda provides very detailed reports”
“the absolute best! we have a difficult dog who needed help with feeding, insulin, and a lot of other medications for 2 weeks and she was more than capable of taking care of him (even stayed extra time some days when he wasn’t cooperative). great with communication and always super sweet to our boy. cannot recommend her to enough!”
About: Hi, I’m Stephanie! I would love to provide a safe and happy experience for you and your pet while you’re away. I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and will treat your pet like my own. I’m a mental health therapist during the day and have a rescue cat named Itty Bitty Kitty. I found her at 2-3 weeks old with a sinus infection and nursed her back to health. She’s a happy and healthy (ironically named) cat now a days. I’ll take the same great care of your pets while you’re away. I can do check ins with your cats or walk your dogs. I have experience with all sizes and ages of dogs and love them all! I could do checks in with your cats and dogs throughout the week and weekend. I’ll make sure to check in with you and send pictures/videos of your pets while you’re gone if you’d like. My goal is take care of your best friend like he/she is my very own and to give you peace of mind while you’re away from home. I currently work from home Monday-Friday as a mental health therapist. I make my own schedule so I could arrange care for your pet based on your needs. I have a fenced yard at home and love taking walks. If your pet were to stay with me, I work from home so they would be supervised throughout the day and would also get lots of play time and affection.
About: Ive had a passion for animals of all kinds ever since I was little and was the go to if friends or family needed help. I can help with cats, dogs, rabbits and guinea pigs . Im currently in school for dog grooming and can offer baths. Let me help your pet to feel and look thier best. I currently just moved back to my home town of Bordentown. I am currently looking for work so i am able to devote my time to caring for your pet. Ive been a nurse aide for the past 13 years. Once I find a job i plan to update my days and hours but hope to find steady clients so I can continue my passion of pet care. Every pet has different needs and likes i will adjust to the needs of the pet parent/pet. I can come up with ideas once I meet the pet but can also go by a list of the pet parents needs.
About: Hi! I’ve owned, cared for, groomed, trained, and boarded dogs of all breeds for over 20 years. Whether it's a playful puppy or a senior snuggler, I treat every fur baby like they’re my own family. In addition to dog sitting and boarding, I also offer daily dog walks and runs—perfect for pups who need a bathroom break, exercise, or just some fresh air and love while you're at work or away. I’m available for midday walks, morning strolls, evening outings, or energetic runs, and I tailor each outing to your dog’s energy level and needs. I’m familiar with handling all kinds of dogs—from leash pullers to laid-back seniors—and I’m happy to accommodate special requests. Whether your pup loves the park, a quiet neighborhood stroll, or a brisk jog, I’ve got you covered. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate ample time to caring for pets throughout the day. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply giving your dog plenty of attention and companionship, I’m available to make sure their needs are met consistently. My routine revolves around providing a calm, loving environment where each pet feels comfortable and well cared for. You can rest easy knowing your dog will be treated like family—with the utmost love, attention, and care—whether we’re snuggled up at home or out on an adventure together. Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. Tail wags and happy paws guaranteed!
About: In my 30 years of experience I have welped puppies and kittens, administered medications (including injections,) managed elderly care, special needs, special diets, bathing, behavior, and so much more. :) I use my fine tuned empathy and sharp observation skills to monitor mood, changes, and head them off at the pass. The more you learn how to communicate with an animal on their terms, the easier it is to meet their needs and yours. Caring for animals and animal behavior are one of the most captivating and fulfilling things that enrich my life. Animals are a big part of my daily routine, and I build my day around caring for pets . I enjoy a laid-back, slower-paced lifestyle with plenty of time for walks, outdoor time, and providing calm, attentive companionship. I have a yard where pets can safely enjoy fresh air and supervised outdoor time, and I love creating a comfortable environment where they feel relaxed, secure, and loved while their families are away. Our home is 2,000 sq ft with two floors, outfitted with crates and gates making it easy to keep dogs separated if necessary. We have a newly installed, fully secured fence around an ample backyard for fetches, sniffles, and safe play. Our neighborhood is calm, quiet, and filed with wildlife making walks calm yet engaging.
About: Hi! I’m an 18 year old student who genuinely enjoys spending time with pets and making them feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve grown up with cats and have experience with feeding, litter box cleaning, playtime, and understanding animal behavior and moods. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I always try to match each pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic and playful or shy and need a calm presence. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, so I’ll always treat them like my own. I’m responsible, reliable, and happy to send regular updates and photos so you feel completely at ease while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pet feels comfortable, loved, and stress-free in your absence! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I already structure my day around responsibility, consistency, and being attentive to details. I’m used to keeping a steady routine, so adding feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins for pets feels very natural to me. I enjoy spending time with animals, so it never feels like a chore, it becomes something I genuinely look forward to throughout the day. In my home, I make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re part of the family. I follow their normal feeding schedule, make sure they always have fresh water, keep their space clean, and give them lots of attention, play, and affection depending on their personality. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of routines and instructions. I stick closely to the pet’s usual schedule so they feel secure in their own environment. I double-check everything: food, water, walks, litter boxes, medications if needed, and I always make sure pets get not just care, but companionship so they don’t feel alone while their owner is away.
“Amber was fantastic! She and Loki got along right away at the Meet-and-Greet, which we weren't sure about since he hasn't met many new folks since we brought him home from the shelter. We greatly appreciated the photos each day, and Loki seemed to enjoy Amber's company and evening pets. This was our first time booking a cat sitter, and we wouldn't hesitate to book with Amber again.”
About: I’ve been taking care of my own pets since 2014. I currently have five dogs and three cats that take care of each day. They are my babies. I am a teacher on my summer break so my schedule is quite open apart from taking care of my own 5 pups and 3 cats. I offer drop in visits where I can spend time playing with your pup or cat, I can feed them, give them fresh water, and I also offer walking services.
“Makula is wonderful for everything she did for our two babies. They were very happy and had a good time playing with her. Our little girl Goose is typically a little more skittish and she warmed up really fast to Makula! Thank you so much for everything!”
“Mirella did a fantastic job pet sitting our two guinea pigs over Christmas. One of our pigs is elderly and has health issues, and Mirella handled them very professionally and compassionately. We felt so much better traveling knowing that our pigs were in good hands at home. Thank you!!”
“Jeffrey was on time and very attentive to our dog. We greatly appreciated his updates and photos. His reliability and caring for our dog gave us peace of mind while we were away.”
About: I had a multiple dogs growing up, one who is 11 years old now, and also just became a new Fur Mom to an 8 month old golden retriever (who has put me through the wringer so far). I am an animal lover and just want to be helpful since I use rover myself for sitters, and i figured I’d be just as helpful as the many sitters on here have been for me!! I work full time but that is just 3 days a week, so any other day I am available most of the day to accommodate your fur babies! My schedule does change every week though I live in an apartment complex but have access to a dog park within the complex and will be able to take your pups to local dog parks as well

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.
