“It was my first time using Rover, so was a little apprehensive. But Melissa eased my fears when she did a meet and greet prior to watching our 2 dogs. She is very knowledgeable and has a tremendous amount of experience. We were able to get away for the week-end knowing our dogs were lovingly cared for. Melissa provided notes and pictures throughout her stay. Will definitely use again!”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jackie over a long weekend. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond even taking the time to meet with us beforehand. While away, her communication was exceptional. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and clearly treated our cat with so much care and attention. It gave us total peace of mind. When we returned home, we were genuinely touched to find a sweet thank you card and a warm “welcome home” loaf of bread from her favorite bakery. That level of thoughtfulness is so rare and truly sets her apart. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is truly one of a kind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you and your pets like family book with Jackie.”
“Kelly was amazing for helping us out with our pack. She came by once a day for potty breaks and play time while I was gone at work. Dogs loved it! Thank you so much!”
“Lisa was the best. She was consistent, loving and eager to hang with my dog! I work from home and this was my first time I had to leave him in the crate longer than usual. The pictures she sent brought me so much peace of mind while I was gone and I truly am so grateful!”
“Our two dogs were in good hands for the weekend with Rachel and her daughter. Good communication and lots of pictures. Thank you both for taking such good care of them!”
“Dena is great! One of our dogs ended up on a couple medications due to a leg injury and Dena was more than happy to give them to her twice a day. She left detailed messages on how the dogs were doing after each visit. She also included some fun pictures of them. We could tell they were being well taken care of while we were gone. Thank you, Dena!”
“Andrea is very clearly a pet lover. She is prompt to respond to booking requests, and takes a lot of pride in the care of the animals she works with. She is always great about communicating how her visits/walks go, and I can always be assured that my dog is in safe hands. The fact that she has great animals that are fast becoming friends with my dog is a nice cherry on top! Book Andrea with confidence!”
“Joshua is fabulous. He took pictures and gave great detail to each day’s visits. I highly recommend him and most definitely will use him again. He is aware of the animals feelings and puts that first in all interactions. Details matter to Josh. My pets were safe and well cared for at all times.”
“Sarah was dependable and prompt. She did a great job taking care of our cat, and watered my plants. She was available on short notice, and her price was reasonable.”
“Stephanie is the best with our cat, Maggie! We can tell that she really enjoys being around our cat and in turn our cat really enjoys being around Stephanie. We get the best updates from her and always feel that our kitty is well cared for. Thank you Stephanie!”
“Christy is the ONLY one I would leave my girl with! I trust her beyond words! My baby had an unexpected Surgery before I left but Christy took care of her wound, cuddled her, gave her meds along with ALL the regular great things she does!!! I also got pictures so I could see everything!”
About: I have been working in the animal industry since I was 15. I raised, shown, and trained German Shepherd dogs for 3 years. I have worked in boarding facilities and have been on Rover for over 5 years. I currently own two German Shepherds:) I work from 7-2:30pm Monday thru Friday. I have availability before and after those times, as well as full weekends. I do prefer to not stay overnight but can spend most of the day with your furry friends or do drop-ins ❤️ I can do frequent potty breaks, fetch, occasional walks, and feeding/medications. I am available all day on weekends. I don't mind timid doggos or kitties either 🫶
About: What sets me apart is that I have cared for pets my entire life and genuinely treat every animal as if they were my own. I understand that every pet has unique needs, personalities, and routines, and I take the time to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved while you're away. I am experienced with pets of all ages, from energetic puppies who need patience and consistency to senior pets who require extra attention, gentle care, and medication reminders when needed. I am reliable, detail-oriented, and committed to keeping pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have had pets my entire life. I work Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM to 4:00 PM, so I am available before and after work for feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and lots of attention. Evenings and weekends allow me to spend additional quality time with pets and ensure they stay comfortable and happy. I enjoy maintaining their normal routines so they feel safe and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client's home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all feeding, exercise, medication, and care instructions provided by the owner and make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, and supervision. I also respect my clients' homes by keeping them clean, secure, and exactly as I found them. Safety and trust are very important to me. I pay close attention to each pet's behavior, ensure doors and gates are secure, and keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can have peace of mind while they are away. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners.
“Shachel did a great job of taking care of my 3 cats while I was away! I really enjoyed getting the update notifications and pictures, and I had peace of mind that my babies were in good hands while I was gone! Highly recommend Shachel!”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two wonderful dogs, Bitzer and Bueller—they bring so much joy to our lives! I love taking them on walks, playing fetch, snuggling, and making sure they are incredibly well taken care of. Beyond my own pets, I have years of experience caring for friends' dogs, cats, and birds. Why Choose Me: Highly Experienced: Lifelong pet owner who understands animal behavior and needs. Reliable & Punctual: I show up exactly when promised for walks and visits. Gentle & Loving: Your pet gets the exact same high standard of care, attention, and safety that Bitzer and Bueller get. I would love the opportunity to give your pets a fun, safe, and happy experience while you are away! I am very flexible with my time throughout the weekdays and weekends. I can walk your pets, play with them, check in on them, and dog sit them at my home if they are good with other dogs and children. I will send you updates and photos during each visit so that you will have peace of mind that they are being well taken care of and feel very loved! I have a gated backyard, two very friendly dogs that are good around all people, including children, and would be willing to watch them in my home if they’re good with dogs and kids. I could also crate them if you needed me to as well. I will follow your direction on what is best for your dog(s).
“Katie did an amazing job caring for our pets! She went above and beyond in doing everything possible to be there for them in bad weather, when it was difficult to get to our house. We are very grateful for her hard work and dedication. Thank you so much!!! Highly recommend!”
About: My father taught me about life by giving me pets since I was able to walk. Animals are a gift and should be treated like they are family. I work full time, but I still have plenty of time to take care of your pets. Having a small farm myself, my kids, who are older, pitch in to give animals all the care and love they need! I have a fenced in property and enclosed kennels for exercise. I also enjoy taking them on walks and playing ball with them outside. Any specific requests will try to be honored…
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gibbs
Lisa was wonderful. I have never left my cat for more than 36 hours and planned to be away for 10 days so that made me extremely anxious. We did a meet and greet prior to my vacation and she made me feel very comfortable knowing my "baby" would be in good hands! I loved getting the daily pictures and report cards. I would not hesitate to book Lisa again if/when the need arises!
Layla was amazing! I think my cat might like her more than me, now. She took great care of my lil cat & made me feel at ease with leaving her at home. Layla sent such sweet messages with the cute pictures she took. I’d book her again in a heartbeat!! It was great having a vacation without having to worry about whether my pet was okay 🙌🏼
Rose is fantastic. My cat is very picky with his friends and he LOVES rose! She gives them all the attention, enjoys play time with them, and is extremely reliable and professional. I have booked rose many times to watch my two cats and will continue to be a repeat customer. She is my go-to!
Peyton did 3x/day drop-in visits with our 4 dogs for 3 days. I was so nervous leaving them but she was super professional, sent photos and updates every time, and I could tell my babies were happy from the photos! It was so reassuring and I appreciate her so much. Thank you Peyton!
Laura was wonderful to work with. It's evident that she is well versed in animal care. She was gentle and kind with my pets. She was great at communicating and overall on it. We felt at ease traveling knowing our home and cat were in good hands. Based in our experience with Laura, I highly recommend her for pet or house sitting.
I am so thankful Christy was available to watch my Frankie Poo last week. She put me at ease, we first scheduled a house visit to get acquainted and from there it was an easy choice to proceed with her services. She is so passionate about animals, and she really loved both of our pets as much as we do. Thank you for coming over this last week, and spending time with my lil’ Frankie Frank. You’re truly a treasure!
Emilyanne was wonderful to work with. She took great care of our 2 cats, 28 chickens and 1 goose. Her communication was great and she sent multiple pictures/videos each day. She went above and beyond with cleaning and spending time interacting with the cats. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone.
Jeanette did an excellent job and took great care of my kitty--seeing she got lots of petting, brushing and loves. That's important for Pandora as she is a very people oriented little girl. Every thing was clean and neat and Jeannette even put out some bird seed without being asked. We will definitely have her back.

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.
