“Emily is a gem. She has watched our 3 cats (1 a diabetic who requires insulin twice a day) several times and has always done a terrific job. Our last trip, Emily visited faithfully despite having to blaze a trail to the house following a raging snowstorm. I cannot praise her enough.”

About: I have had many dogs in my life time and I enjoy walking, talking to, caring for and spending time with dogs when I can. I miss my pets but I am not ready to get one of my own. However, I would love to help you care for your pet when you are gone. I am a teacher during the school year. I usually can help you out on the weekend or nights during the school year. During the summer I can help more often in a variety of days and times. My fur babies have all past. When I have helped friends and family take care of their pets I make sure to get to know their fur baby before they need me to care for them. I learn their pet's routines and I try to spend some time with them so they know my sent. This makes it more comfortable for the owner and pet when I am with them.
About: With 8 years of pet-sitting experience, I've cared for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities! From energetic dogs who love long walks and playtime to senior pets who prefer a slower pace, I understand that every animal has their own unique needs. I have experience caring for multi-pet households, including dogs, cats, and small animals. I'm comfortable managing different feeding schedules, exercise routines, and daily responsibilities. I also have hands-on experience administering medications to both dogs and cats, including oral medications, eye drops, and topical creams or ointments. I understand how important it is to follow medication instructions carefully and keep pets comfortable throughout the process. Whether you need a drop-in visit, a walk, or overnight care, my goal is to maintain your pet's usual routine while giving them the attention and affection they deserve. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else's care, so I prioritize communication, reliability, and regular photo updates. I treat every pet with the same patience, kindness, and care I'd want for my own! I offer flexible scheduling for drop-in visits, dog walking, and overnight house sitting in your home. I understand that every pet has their own routine, and I do my best to accommodate their usual feeding times, bathroom breaks, exercise, and daily activities. Whether your dog needs a midday walk, your cat needs some company while you're away, or your pets need overnight care, I'm happy to discuss their schedules and individual needs ahead of time. My priority is providing consistent, dependable care that works for both you and your pets! Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities! I provide care in your home, where your pets can stay comfortable in a familiar environment and maintain their normal routines. I carefully follow instructions for feeding, medications, exercise, and any special care requirements. I have experience administering oral medications, eye drops, and topical treatments to both dogs and cats, and I always prioritize patience and gentle handling. I'm also attentive to securing doors, gates, and leashes, monitoring pets for unusual behavior, and keeping their environment clean and safe. Whether I'm visiting for a walk, stopping by for daily care, or staying overnight, I'll treat your home with respect and provide regular updates so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for!
“We are so glad to have found Marwa to help take care of our pup during the day. She is truly passionate, caring, and knowledgeable about dogs. She is constantly going above and beyond to help Lolli become more comfortable and confident with her. Marwa is lovely, and we felt an immediate connection with her (maybe not Lolli quite yet!). I feel completely at ease having her enter our home and provide such extraordinary care for Lolli. Her patience, dedication, and genuine love for animals shine through in everything she does. We feel very lucky to have found her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker.”


“Alyssa took great care of our cats, Misty & Fae over the Labor Day weekend. Misty requires prescription wet food and 2 medications (opened capsule & measured liquid) added to her food. Alyssa came for a meet & greet visit during the week before the weekend so she could meet the girls, see their environment & understand their food schedule & medication dosing schedule for Misty. She came for morning & evening feedings & sent us pictures from each visit. We knew they were in good hands while we were away. We will definitely call on her again! We highly recommend Alyssa!! Misty ? & Fae ? do too!”


About: I have had my own dogs in my life - for over 35 years, both small ones and large ones. I learned to obedience train my German Shepherds and they were always welcomed wherever we went. Most people said that they would love to come back as my pet. I am currently working part time and have ample time to attend to your dog. I can have a dog overnight in the evenings and most weekends. My home sits on 3 acres with lots of room for your dog to run. Ill take your dog on nice walks. In my home, your dog can roam freely or I can crate your dog if you like.

About: Hi there! I’ve had worked as a veterinary rehab assistant for 3 years, caring for both dogs and cats as they heal and recover. This experience has taught me so much about animal behavior, comfort, and how to give pets the patience and attention they deserve. At home, I’m also a proud cat mom to two sweet kitties, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members. Whether it’s playtime, snuggles, or making sure they stick to their routines, I treat every pet like my own. ✨ Availability: • All week (Sunday-Saturday): Full-time availability for pet care so you can take a break and relax. • Overnights: I’m available to stay with your pets overnight. In your home, I follow your pets’ normal routine as closely as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. That includes feeding, walks, playtime, cuddles, and any medications or special care they may need. I make sure to keep your home tidy and treat it with the same respect I would my own.
“Ayanna has been coming by several times a week to play with our pup Charli. As Charli is a COVID puppy, my husband and I were worried about how she would adjust to us both being back in office. Ayanna has made the transition seamless. Charli is a herding dog, and so it is clear when she does/doesnt get enough stimulation during the day. Every time Ayanna comes to play with her, it is clear that Charli was well stimulated and exercised. We could not be happier with Ayanna, and are so grateful for how she plays with Charli and has helped her adjust to her new normal. Ayanna is very responsible and communicative, and Charli absolutely loves her time with her!!”


“I would highly recommend Xuan!! My dog was very content when I came home … walked, fed, water bowls filled, and a very happy dog! I could not have asked for a better person to take care of my fur-baby while I was away. Also, Xuan is very respectful of another’s home. I will definitely schedule Xuan again!!”

“Elizabeth was a great communicator and I felt safe leaving her with my cats. We were worried about our boy needing medication while we were gone and she was wonderful and got it done with no issues.”

“Claire was so great with my cat, Joseph. She responded on short notice and sent updates while she was caring for my pet. Would recommend her to anybody looking for a pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in my 20s. Friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed and look after their pets. While doing this on a part time basis, Pet care is a regular part of my routine—I plan my day around walks, feeding, playtime, and lots of attention. I’m flexible and make sure each pet gets the care and consistency they need. I provide a safe, clean, and loving environment—whether in my home or yours. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any special care like medications. I keep pets comfortable, engaged, and stress-free, and I always send updates so you know they’re happy and well cared for. I have a fenced in yard and one small dog that can be a companion for your dog or respecting each other space. I have no issue using a crate if preferred.
About: Hello Pet Parents, My name is Alicia Knight, and I am a 25-year-old animal enthusiast. I absolutely adore all kinds of animals, especially dogs! I'm a proud owner of two rescue dogs: a miniature goldendoodle named Mo and a great dane named Moose. My dogs bring me immense joy, and I understand how it feels to be a dog mom who can't always be around to care for her furry babies. That's why I'm here to offer my services! If you need someone to feed your pets or take them out for a walk, I'm here to ensure they receive all the love and attention they deserve. I have a flexible schedule, which means I can attend to your pets at any time, whether it's early in the morning or late at night. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I am confident in my ability to keep your pets safe and happy. When it comes to feeding, I am comfortable following any specific dietary requirements or restrictions your pet may have. And when it comes to walks, I'm always happy to take your furry friends to their favorite park or explore new trails together. I believe communication is key, so I'll always keep you updated on how your pets are doing, and I'll make sure to follow any special instructions you may have. With me, your pets will be in good hands, and you can rest assured knowing they're receiving the best care possible. I work full-time but I have a flexible schedule that allows me to care for your pets whenever you need. My workplace is only 5 minutes away from home, so I am easily available before and after work. I will ensure that your pets feel comfortable and loved, just as if you were with them yourself. I will follow their regular routine, which you provide me with, and treat them as if they were my own furry companions. I understand the anxiety that comes with leaving your beloved pet with someone else, so I will keep you updated with photos and alerts to let you know that they are in good care.
“Ember is very caring and compassionate with our cats. She demonstrated having our fur babies best interest in mind as she took the time to research a new technique for administering medication. She even taught us a trick or two which was very helpful!!”

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.
