“Levi is absolutely the best. He handle my rowdy bunch very well and kept me updated. He went above and beyond. I would recommend him to anyone. I have two young very active dogs and he handled them with ease. Very professional. Very Trustworthy. Thank you again Levi!”
“10/10 would let him come over again! - Cajsa + Freja, very picky Bernese Mountain Dogs 🐾🐾 Logan really came through for us on a last minute trip, a true godsend! Our girls require very specific care, and even a small mishap could have life or death consequences. As such, hiring a new sitter is always nerve wracking but Logan was fantastic! Super chill, flexible, understanding and easy to talk to. And our girls don’t usually favor men, but they accepted him right away. Thanks again, Logan, we’ll def reach out for our next trip!”
“Jen was amazing with our girl! Our dog gave her a ran for her money, but Jen is super patient and understanding. She updated up everytime she came to see our dog, took photos, and it gave us a peace of mind.”
About: With a flexible schedule, years of dog ownership, and no competing obligations, your dog receives loving attention, personalized care and is always my top priority. Pet care is my priority. With a completely flexible schedule and no competing obligations, I'm available throughout the day and week to provide attentive, loving care whenever it's needed. Your pet safety and comfort always come first. In my home, pets are treated like family with plenty of attention. Regular walks, playtime, and a consistent routine. While I don't have a yard, I take dogs out frequently for exercise and bathroom breaks. In your home, I'll carefully follow your pet's normal schedule, feeding instructions, medications and any special routines to help them feel secure and comfortable while you're away. I always keep owners updated with photos and messages for added peace of mind.
About: I grew up surrounded by not just dogs, but cats, chickens, rabbits, horses, lizards, and a lot more. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as I started out using the Wag! App, and especially those who like to take ME on a walk instead of the other way around - if you know what I mean. I am currently a student with a part-time job outside of the app, but I have a pretty flexible schedule. I also live here year round so if you’re looking for someone for next summer I’ll be here! I currently live in an apartment so I wouldn’t be able to dog-sit more than one dog at a time. In the past, I have done overnight stays at clients’ homes and it has been great! The pets feel a lot more comfortable with this and we have a blast!
“She took great care and had patience with my kitten. Even when I made a mistake with scheduling, she was flexible and able to help me. I would definitely use Sabrina again!”
“Nikki did a great job watching my dog so I could go get my hair done. She has a very calm demeanor about her when it comes to dogs and that’s exactly what my dog needed. I would recommend Nikki!”
“Michelle was wonderful! She was easy to book, she stayed in contact, and sent us pictures of our 2 cats during her visits. We felt very comfortable on our holiday knowing our pets were in good hands!”

“Jaclyn is caring and detailed. Our four kitties love her! We just finished a 12 day vacation and the pictures she sent helped us know that they were just fine while we were away.”
“Megan was absolutely incredible with Harley! She was prompt, sent photos and updates with each pop in. Her communication is amazing. She also helped me out with a last minute emergency pop in. She is really a great sitter and I'm so glad we chose her!!!”
“Shannon is absolutely incredible. My blind, diabetic, 13.5 year old pup has a hard time feeling comfortable with others but with her, it seemed almost instant. I felt so comfortable knowing Gizmo was in great hands. She proactively updated me throughout the evening, letting me know how he was doing which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my night out.”

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.
