“Laura was amazing! Great communication, friendly, clean and really took the time to comfort my skiddish cat while I was away. I will definitely be hiring her again! Cheers to Chester’s new friend❤️”
“Grace did an awesome job! I have the world’s shyest cat. Often sitters never see him. Grace is one of the rare humans my cat likes which is saying a lot. In addition to the cat, she gave me updates on my frogs and fish tanks. I highly recommend Grace and intend on using her again.”
About: The best part of any given day for me is usually seeing a dog or cat. I’ve been recommended by friends and neighbors to take care of their lovable critters and figured I’d give Rover a try! I am currently working part time and have plenty of flexibility when it comes to pet care opportunities. I like to spend more time rather than less when it comes to lovable pets. I enjoy playing with pets if they are the playful type. If not, then I’m comfortable just being there with them. Sometimes they just don’t want to be alone. But if the zoomies kick in, I can keep up!
“Jill went above and beyond for our little girl Jinx. She had amazing updates and photos that helped my partner and I be comfortable with using a sitter for any future trips!”
“Jillian was amazing! Super communicative and very responsible. We were able to navigate certain things that came up with ease and she responds immediately. She leaves detailed reviews and sent pictures every visit which kept me at ease while I was away. Will 100% book with her again!”
About: Dog mom who loves caring for animals! I have a 5 year old Aussie mix and have used Rover for years for the care of my baby, now that I work hybrid I am taking on my own clients! I have owned and cared for both dogs and cats from small to large breeds. I currently work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays where I have day time flexibility. Available anytime on weekends. I am available on other week nights (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday) after 5pm- please message me directly for those days! I have 10+ years of experience caring for dogs, both leash trained dogs and dogs who may be reactive or need a little extra patience and attention. I’m experienced with dog walking, backyard let outs , feeding, and administering medications as needed. I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and needs, and I’ll always treat your pet with the same care and attention I would give my own.
“Very kind and thorough with the visits… Hired her for a weekend I was out of state and it’s nice to know you don’t have to worry to much about your pup while you’re gone. Will definitely hire again in the future”
“Janelle provided care for my doodle and is exceptional. Lola enjoyed her visits and I felt completely at ease knowing my pet was well taken care of from a professional pet sitter. Janelle is very accommodating and easy to work with. Highly recommended and I will definitely continue to request her assistance in the future.”
“Rachel is so kind and caring to my crazy dog Nash! Not everyone can handle him but she does a fantastic job and leaves detailed reports of her visit! Highly recommend!”
“Lindsay checked in and fed our cat while we were out of town and was an excellent communicator. She provided detailed notes about the visit and some adorable pictures of our cat, too! Lindsay also did a quick walk around of the house and yard to make sure everything looked good- that reassurance was much appreciated! Looking forward to booking with Lindsay again.”
About: Hi there! My name is Ellie, and I’m a passionate animal lover with over a decade of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I have pups of my own, so I know how much trust it takes to let someone else care for your furry family member — and I treat every pet I meet with the same love, attention, and respect I give my own. Whether your dog needs a fun walk to burn off energy, a drop-in to check on meals and snuggles, or full-on overnight care, I’ve got you covered. I’m reliable, patient, and fully committed to making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby and give them the care they deserve! I currently work full-time during the day, but pet care is truly a passion of mine and a fulfilling part of my daily routine. I’m available for check-ins and walks in the early mornings before work and in the evenings after I get home. In some cases, I’m also able to swing by during my lunch break for a quick visit, depending on location and timing. I also offer overnight stays, which allows me to spend quality, uninterrupted time with your pet — perfect for dogs who need extra comfort or company while you’re away. While my weekday daytime availability is limited, I’m dependable, communicative, and always make sure your pet gets the attention and care they deserve when I’m with them! When your pet is in my care, their well-being is my top priority. I understand that every animal has their own unique needs, routines, and personalities — and I take the time to get to know them so I can provide care that makes them feel safe, seen, and loved. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet like one of my own, with patience, affection, and respect. I’m mindful, responsible, and always keep safety at the forefront — whether that’s making sure harnesses are secure, sticking to feeding instructions, or giving them their favorite toy at just the right moment. I believe animals know when someone truly cares for them — and I make it my mission to create a peaceful, loving environment where your pet can feel completely at ease while you’re away.

Patricia was absolutely wonderful caring for our two shy cats. She is kind, patient and gave them the space they needed while providing them with comfort, treating them as if they were her own.

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 .

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 use the 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.
