“Once again, we can’t say enough good things about Michelle. Her communication, dedication, professionalism, and warmth are second to none. Thank you for again taking such great care of our two cats! We’ll be in touch again soon!”
“Sara was great with our shy cat. She was punctual and reliable for our long stay away from home, and provided regular updates and pictures. We will be booking with Sara again!”
“Stephanie is awesome! We have been using her for over a year now to take care of our boy when we go out of town. She’s always been reliable and trustworthy. We’re very thankful we found her!”
“Margo and her husband were great. She followed all the instructions and took very good care of our babies. She played with them made sure to give them attention. Both cats liked her so she’s definitely the kind of person pets gravitate to. I would absolutely recommend.”
“As always, Katie is great with my 95 lb German Shepherd! She is reliable and prompt. Being a German Shepherd, Simi can be stubborn and sassy. Katie is great with her GSD personality. I use Katie weekly and will continue.”
“Alicia did an amazing job watching our 2 cats when we were gone 9 days for the holidays. She made sure our cats had everything they needed and went above and beyond what was required of her. She even showed up Christmas morning at 7am! We will definately be using her again for our next trip and highly reccomend her.”
“Brianna was so good with my dogs! She played with them and loved on they as if they were her own. I have Australian Shepherds and they can be very enthusiastic and energetic, she worked well with their temperament. She was very responsive and accommodating and would love to have her help us out again!”
“Jessica was absolutely amazing for my 2 cats! I was worried about picking a new cat sitter, but she put me right at ease as soon as I met her. She made sure to take note of everything my cats liked and disliked. It really looks like she took the time to play with them and spend time with them. So happy with Jessica!!!”
About: I’m a dependable, caring pet lover who treats every dog like family. I understand that every dog has their own personality, energy level, routine, and comfort level, and I take the time to build trust and make each walk a positive experience. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, including energetic dogs who need plenty of exercise, as well as senior dogs who may prefer a slower, more relaxed pace. I’m attentive to body language and behavior and prioritize your pet’s safety and comfort at all times. Whether your dog needs an active walk, some extra exercise and playtime, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’ll provide dependable care and plenty of attention. I’m also happy to follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, medications, routines, leash preferences, and other special needs. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your dog is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away. I'm currently in a remote position making my scheduling flexible, thus my schedule is open all 7 days throughout the week. I look forward to hearing what you need! Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for your pet. I treat every dog with patience, kindness, and respect while making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their environment. For walks, I use safe leash-handling practices and stay attentive to my surroundings, other animals, traffic, and anything that could make a pet uncomfortable or unsafe. I never rush a dog and adjust the pace and length of the walk based on their age, energy level, and individual needs. When caring for pets in their home, I follow their normal routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while you're away. I’m respectful of your home, keep doors and gates securely closed, and make sure your pet has access to fresh water and anything else you’ve provided for their care. I’ll keep you updated throughout the visit and communicate promptly if I notice anything unusual with your pet. My goal is to give you peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and being cared for as if they were my own.
“Hayleigh is truly the best! She goes above and beyond, not only for my fur babies, but also for me! I know that both Marie and Hershey will be in great hands when she’s with them. 11/10. If I could give her more than 5 stars I would”
About: Ive had dogs my whole life and would love to meet your pet if you need extra help. I currently have 3 medium/large dogs and am comfortable with any size dog. I have a flexible job, so on days that I am available I will not have any restrictions. I can be very flexible with scheduling. I would love to take your dog(s) on any length walk or spend as much time as you'd like with your pet. I currently have 3 medium/large dogs and am comfortable with any size dog.
“Allison looked after my cat for a week and she was wonderful! I could tell he got quality attention and playtime from the photos she sent and when I returned home he was his happy self! I highly recommend Allison and will absolutely be hiring her in the future!”
“Absolutely wonderful sitter! Very thorough and even took the time to bond and play with our timid cat! Sent tons of photos and videos letting us know when/if our cat was eating/drinking/playing.”
“Allie was amazing and I could not recommend her highly enough!! She took the best care of our 4 cats for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. One of our cats had recent major surgery and needs medications three times daily. She managed to give him his pills and oral liquid every day, which we ourselves sometimes struggle to get him to take! I was very nervous leaving him but was so reassured but how happy and comfortable he was with Allie. Our cats are all rescues and are very shy and nervous around new people, they often don't come out for a petsitter. All 4 of them came up to her for cuddles and were the most relaxed we've ever seen them with a new person. She clearly made a lot of effort spending time with them that they became so comfortable with her. Allie's communication was amazing and we came back to lovely clean litter trays and an emptied litter bin. We are so happy to have found someone that takes such great care of our fur babies!”
About: I currently have a beagle, I’ve grown up around dogs so I can care for all sizes and ages, I have mostly weekend availability and evenings I walk my dog daily morning and at night time , at this time not available for constant care sits unless it’s on a weekend I always make sure gates are secured, if leash walking I double check harness/collar, if petsitting in your home I’ll leave the place looking better than before
“Nina was amazing! She took good care of Lily and provided plenty of pictures. I also really appreciate her attention to detail with her pet questionnaire prior to booking. I would highly recommend Nina! Thanks again! ☺️”
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs off and on for a few years, and I have found I excel at taking care of pets, the way owners take care of their own! I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed. I'm unable to wash, groom, or cut nails. I simply don't have experience in those aspects
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and worked as a dog walker throughout college for four years. I’ve fostered nine cats, three of whom I loved so much they became permanent members of my family. These days I share my home with three cats and my shihpoo, Peanut, so I understand pets from every angle — but I care for clients in their own home, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or house-sitting. Your pet stays comfortable in their own space while getting attentive, experienced care. I structure my days around my pets, so caring for yours fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and I keep a flexible schedule that lets me give your pet real attention rather than a rushed visit. Weekday mornings and evenings are usually open, along with some weekends. Since I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible — sticking to their regular feeding, walk, and sleep schedule so there’s minimal disruption. My experience with three cats, a shihpoo, and nine foster cats means I’m comfortable reading animal body language, handling multi-pet households, and following specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glen Ridge Acres
Tori was excellent dropping in for our three high maintenance pups this week! She did a meet and greet prior and they all loved on her immediately, and I got plenty of pics through each visit of more love and cuddles. She was also so patient and understanding with a few curve balls, which I sincerely appreciated (especially during a work trip when it's so hard to be away!) Definitely asking Tori back - she was amazing to our babies and with communicating throughout!
Brianna was so good with my dogs! She played with them and loved on they as if they were her own. I have Australian Shepherds and they can be very enthusiastic and energetic, she worked well with their temperament. She was very responsive and accommodating and would love to have her help us out again!
This is the second/third time we book Daniela and I would 1000% recommend. The peace I feel knowing she is looking after Carlota is amazing. I receive cute photos and a report card with all the details of the visit, she is kind with Carlota, I can tell for how much joy Carlota shows when Daniela comes in. I will book her again without a second thought.
Corey was great with Rosie! Rosie is an indoor/outdoor cat and took advantage of her nice sitter by sneaking out for a little adventure in the yard. 😅 Corey was very accommodating and made an extra unscheduled stop to make sure Rosie was safely back inside before a storm rolled in. I really appreciated the extra care and would definitely recommend her!
Ava was amazing! We had a difficult ask of 3x a day medication ranging from 6am to 10pm on short notice and she not only did that but added an extra visit when our travel plans changed and lingered for snuggles with our senior cat. I highly recommend Ava and will definitely use her moving forward.
Our dog Holly just loved seeing Margo … she was reliable and so kind to play with her and make sure she got to go potty mid day while my wife and I worked. We will definitely be calling on Margo again to help us out. You won’t find a nicer person to work with. Thanks Margo you deserve this 5 star review.
Sarah was able to keep my cats entertained during her visit. She provided great care in changing water and scooping litter. She even added extra litter to the box without being asked and topped off the automatic feeders. She was attentive and caring. This was my second time booking her and it won't be my last! Thank you Sarah.

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.
