“Our second time booking with Sharon and she is just as wonderful as the first time. We very much appreciate her communication and being able to drop in for us (and our cats) on short notice!”
“Jennifer is wonderful. This was the first time she took care of our cat, and it went well. She is easy to communicate with. We will definitely request her again.”
About: I grew up on a farm and I have been caring for pets and animals all my life. I had 6 dogs growing up on the farm and I had to care for most of them. I also have extensive knowledge on caring for puppies and elderly animals. As well as dogs in heat and pregnant. I work from home as I own another business that is completely hands off. So I love to be able to help people with their pets in the meantime. The pets will love the home we allow them to roam unless directed by owner to be in the cage. Also we have a backyard that is nice and fenced so they can poop and play.
About: I previously owned a wonderful dog named Ollie, who taught me just how important love, patience, and routine are when it comes to pet care. Although I no longer have a dog of my own, I miss having them around and would love the opportunity to care for yours. I am readily available to give your dog long walks, playtime, or simply lots of attention and cuddles. I'll make sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I'll always treat your pet as if they were my own. I have a fenced yard and have gates that I can setup inside the house if need be. I will follow any instructions given for the care of your pet.
“I’m so grateful Armanush could come visit our cats during the four weeks we were away. It gave me peace of mind seeing photos and knowing they had company and interaction. I would ask her to watch my cats again for sure! Thank you very much, Anush!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and have hands-on experience training my own pups multiple times. I bring patience, consistency, and genuine love for animals to every pet I care for—treating them like part of my family. Caring for dogs is a natural part of our family’s routine. I work from home twice a week, but my husband is home during the day and loves taking the pups out for walks and playtime on his breaks. We have a large fenced yard that’s great for playtime. I’m happy to follow whatever routine makes your dog feel most comfortable—whether that’s sleeping in a crate, curling up beside our bed or sticking to their usual schedule. My goal is to make their stay feel as close to home as possible.
About: I am a huge dog lover and enjoy walking and playing with dogs in the neighborhood. I have two dogs of my own and enjoy their company. I'm currently working part time and can work with your schedule for dog sitting, walking and more. I just recently graduated college last year and I am looking for work. I am able to take care of trained small and medium sized dogs in my family home, where I have a fenced in backyard, neighborhood for walking and a dog friendly space. My own pup is a cavapoo and very friendly.
“Yuki provided the highest quality of care to our lovely puppy. Although she can still be a stubborn puppy at times, Yuki was patient with her and gave our pup the best time ever! Yuki also went out of her way to provide extra treats and gifts for Luna knowing that it would help Luna in the long run. 100% found my go to dog sitter for the coming future.”
About: I own two cats and regularly take care of my dad‘s dog teddy when he is at work And I take great joy in doing so. I recently graduated from high school and I’m currently between jobs and college so I am available most of the day this may change in the coming months I will make sure anything required for your pet for walks or check-in will be met so they are happy and healthy. My number one priority is to make sure both the client and the pet has everything they need.
About: Four years ago I adopted a corgi named Pippin. When I got him, I did not know his history or what environment he was raised in. He came to me incredibly reactive to other dogs, but over time I was able to train him to handle encounters in a safe manner. For the next few years he will be living with my wife while she attends grad school. I would love to care for your dog until my little guy comes back home. I will provide personalized and attentive care to your pup the way I would for my own Pippin. I work an M-F office job that is 10 minutes from my apartment. My evenings and weekends are completely free, but my job still allows me to come home midday to check on your pup if you need any weekday care. My apartment is incredibly pet friendly. My own dog is living with my wife while she attends grad school so I will be able to provide all the care and attention your dog deserves. My apartment is located near a variety of parks and trails, so they will get some wonderful exercise.
“Juan is AMAZING!! He went above and beyond with communication and over all care! My pup has special meds and Juan had no problem with it when feeding breakfast and dinner(: Juan went out of his way to go to a pet store to grab a sweater for my pup because it was cold out during their walks 🥹 It was so comforting to know Brody was with someone who goes the extra mile!! 10000% recommend!!!”
“Kate did a great job with our kitties! Our cats have IBD and need medications; Kate ensured they got everything they needed when they needed it and kept me updated the whole time. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind, responsible, and communicative pet sitter!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs in the family since I was 8 or 9. I love to play with all kinds of dogs and go on long walks. I will be available to take care of your pets anytime weekdays or weekends! I am starting a full time job in mid October but until then I am around. I have a very calm environment with a completely fenced grassy yard with lots of space to play. We have one indoor cat but she can keep to herself or play a little.
“Mitzi is such a kind person—professional, thoughtful, and responsive. I’ve now used Mitzi’s services twice and have had a wonderful experience each time. I will definitely continue to use her services in the future. Thank you, Mitzi!”
“Hannah was great, we did a couple meet and greets but this was her first full week sitting for our great danes. They can be overwhelming for sitters but she was really calm and loving with them. Sent lots of pics, daily updates, checked mail, kept the plants alive and fed my daughters reptile! Definitely recommend and will rebook in the future.”
About: Hello! I have been a regular pet-sitter, mostly for dogs, for 5 years. I am a patient, conscientious caregiver who loves to play, take walks, and cuddle with pets of any breed, size, and personality :) I am currently pursuing my masters degree during the evening at American University, but otherwise my schedule is very flexible. I am more than happy to pop into your home for quick dog walks, provide more intensive care like overnight/weekend sitting, and care for your pet like it's my own! I only have classes on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays from 5:30-8:00 pm, and can absolutely work around these commitments. I am a very hands-on, responsible petsitter who has experience working with dogs and cats that require a lot of attention and also have medical needs. I am comfortable administering medication to pets and caring for more than one pet as well. Fostering comfort, happiness, and your pet's wellbeing is what I pride myself on!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Echo
Megan was fantastic with my cats! You can tell from the photos that they were all happy and comfortable with her. Lots of calm body language 💕 She absolutely loves your animals like her own. My cats have their own quirks/cat dynamics and she was able to pick on them very quickly. 😊 She has great attention to detail and is a great communicator. She brought up litter concerns with one of my elderly cats, and we were able to work with a game plan. She was able to give my elderly cat his inhaler no problem. He can be shy with strangers but he seemed to really like her! Highly recommend! Thank you Megan!
Absolutely wonderful dog walker! They are reliable, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. What really stands out is their thoughtful communication—they always keep me updated, share helpful details about each walk, and make sure I know how my pup is doing. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such attentive and trustworthy hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!
Nicole was reliable and communicative with her drop-ins, and sent notes and pictures about how the cats were doing. She went above and beyond cleaning up barf when both cats decided to puke the same day. My cat really took to her and enjoyed sitting in her lap for pets. I am more at ease when I travel knowing that Nicole is caring for my babies.

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.
