“Alisha is so wonderful! This is the second time we have had her check on our kitty while we were on vacation. She is so communicative and really goes so far above and beyond while she's there. We never have to worry when we know that she is checking in on things, which is always a relief when you're so far away. Thank you so much!”
“We are so grateful to Mahle for checking in on our puppy in our home. He became unexpectedly ill prior to the scheduled drop in visits. Mahle kept us updated and took such good care of our Sherman! Thank you Mahle!”
About: I have been taking care of many different dog breeds for years. My grandparents have pit bulls that I take care of when they’re away. I have an amazing golden-doodle named Tucker that I’ve taught basic tricks to. Along with family friends that go on trips I take care of their animals dropping in and making sure there fed, have water, and play with them. I am currently a student at RMU. I just love playing with dogs and miss my dog from home. I am a student at RMU I currently have class on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 10-11 and 1-3. On Tuesday and Thursday I have class from 8-9 and 2-3 I am available anytime that I don’t have class, To do any need. I will make sure that your pet has food, water, goes to the bathroom, any needs that the owner has I will fulfill based on the owners request apart from the basic needs for pets such as making sure they have food, water, and goes to the bathroom. I always love to play with my dog and give him a lot of love laying with him and petting him.
“Ashley is great to work with. This is the second time she has checked in on our two cats while we were out of town. She is thorough, communicative and caring. Thanks Ashley!!”
“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for our kitties when we are out of town. I feel better knowing she is there to give them snuggles when we can’t . We will continue to have Danielle visit when we are out of town.”
About: I was given the amazing opportunity to enroll into Parkway West CTC through their Veterinary Assistant Technology program for the 4 years of my highschool career! I have been so blessed to have been able to certify in everything possibly given to me! I am certified in pet cpr, pet first aid, NAVTA, OSHA, Purina, and so much more! I also involved myself in our doggy daycare the school was running, i witnessed first hand aggression, warning signs, causal play, anxiety and lots more from all of the dogs we encountered! I’ve truly seen it all. I also worked in the small animal room, involving furry pets such as rats, mice, chinchillas, guinea pigs, hamsters, ferrets and bunnies! I know the proper techniques of holding and restraining them if need be, only if i truly had to!! I am currently working part time, so i have so much time to play and check in on your furry bundles of joy! During the week im available in the mornings and the weekends im completely free! I have a fenced in yard, 5 super friendly dogs if your dog is up for the play day!! I have a cage if he/she isn’t super friendly on new pups and am super willing to put my puppers away so your dog isn’t trapped in a cage all day!
“Corinne M. was a wonderful, knowledgeable, dedicated care-giver for our beloved standard poodles while we were away. She is very easy to work with, accommodating to our changed schedule and a great asset to our constant quest for good pet caregivers. Thank-you, Corinne! We look forward to working with you again!”
About: I’ve lived with cats my entire life and have cared for nine cats over the years, so understanding cats of all personalities comes very naturally to me. I genuinely enjoy caring for cats across the full range of temperaments—from social and playful to quiet and independent—and I approach every visit with calm attentiveness and respect for each cat’s individual style. I’m also very familiar with dogs and their care, having helped care for dogs since childhood. I’m comfortable with small, well-mannered adult dogs and focus on keeping visits safe, predictable, and low-stress. In addition to cats and dogs, I have experience caring for small animals, including a fire-bellied lizard, fish, and parakeets. I’m comfortable following specific care instructions and understand the importance of consistency and gentle handling for animals with specialized routines. During visits, I always provide updates and photos so you can see how your pet is doing and feel confident they’re being well cared for. My goal is to offer reliable, thoughtful care that helps pets feel secure and comfortable in their own homes while their people are away. Pet care fits into my routine in a structured and predictable way. On weekdays, I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walks after work between 5:45–7:00 PM. On weekends, I’m available Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM, which allows for more flexibility. I currently offer drop-in visits and dog walking, and I’m happy to do walks as long as weather conditions are safe. I do not offer overnight care. My schedule is consistent, and I’m careful to only accept bookings I can reliably and comfortably accommodate. All care takes place in the client’s home—I do not offer boarding, daycare, or in-home care at my residence. I follow written care instructions exactly and prioritize maintaining each pet’s normal routine to reduce stress. For transparency, I occasionally bring my toddler with me on drop-in visits; for safety, pets and child are always kept separate, with no direct interaction. I do not introduce client pets to other people or animals. During each visit, I complete basic safety checks such as ensuring doors are secure, food and water needs are met, litter boxes or potty routines are handled, and the overall environment feels calm and safe. I communicate promptly if anything seems out of the ordinary and always provide updates so pet parents can feel confident their pets are well cared for.
“We’re so lucky to have Brianna helping us with our doggies! Our dogs love her so much & get so excited when they get to see her! Would absolutely recommend her to anyone!”
“Cassandra and her children took great care of our cat when we were on vacation! They gave him lots of playtime interaction and pets during each drop-in visit. Cassandra also took care to keep our cat's bathroom and feeding areas tidy. We really appreciated the text updates and pictures during each visit. It was a positive first experience using Rover and we will definitely reach out to Cassandra to care for our cat again in the future. I would highly recommend her - thanks Cassandra!”
About: I have had cats and dogs of every kind since I was a baby. I started volunteering at a humane society and loved working with animals. Since graduating college, I have been working in the animal field for over a year now. I dog sit a friends house that has multiple animals that take different medications and specialized diets. My friends and family have relied on me to walk and feed their dogs during their days at work. I work 4 days during the week - Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday. (10 hour shifts). I consistently have Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday off. I am always willing to stop before and after my work days as well. I take my dogs to parks or in open fields in the woods and let them run freely while playing with them. I take other dogs on long walks and play with them in the yard. Sometimes will take them to get a pup cup (if they like car rides and have no stomach issues). I always ask owners what their pets love the most, whether it is walks, playing fetch or enjoying a favorite snack!
“Mariah was amazing and gave us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were away! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares deeply about your dogs!”
About: I have over four years of experience working with dogs and cats as a veterinary assistant. I am well trained on animal behavior, health, administering any medications, and much more. I am currently in school part time. I have classes Tuesday’s and Thursday’s with breaks in between so I can come let them out. I am almost always free any other day of the week. I will listen to your animals needs the best I can! I will administer any medications, feed and water them, and play as much as they want. I will also make sure to clean the yard and/or litter box regularly. I can also do an ear cleaning, teeth brushing, a brush, bath, or a nail trim!
“Amy was fantastic!! My whole family was heading out of town for a family wedding. I never had to have someone other than family watch my beloved "old man". Amy took great care of Marley. He wasn't at all stressed when I got home! I am sure I'll be booking Amy again! She even brought in my heavy Chewy box!! :)”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Glenwillard
Kind, friendly, sweet and loving. That’s how I would describe Julia. When she first came to meet our dogs, it was an absolute love fest. But the real test for me was to see one of my shy cats, approach her and love on Julia. That’s when I knew that animals are immediately attracted to her. She’s awesome. Provides tons of photos and her visits are well documented. I loved her the moment I met her and so did my pets.
Corinne M. was a wonderful, knowledgeable, dedicated care-giver for our beloved standard poodles while we were away. She is very easy to work with, accommodating to our changed schedule and a great asset to our constant quest for good pet caregivers. Thank-you, Corinne! We look forward to working with you again!
Once again Kelly took good care of my 4 kitties. She provided attention to those who were up for it and she was extremely patient with my spicy cat. Great communication, very responsive. I also appreciate that her rate for additional cats is very fair. Thank you Kelly ☺️
Carli was absolutely amazing! She communicates so well, treats your dog like her own, and is incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated throughout our time away and made us feel completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her!
Stephanie was a fantastic cat sitter! It was clear from the meet and greet that she knew how to interact with pets unfamiliar with her (she also got to meet my dog), and she even understood the strict diet my cat has for a food allergy. When two days before my vacation my cat suddenly needed to go on liquid steroids, Stephanie was up to the task! She was very communicative about the medication progress as well as how my cat was doing. Stephanie even went above and beyond with little things to make sure my cat and house were okay over the 8 day booking. I will absolutely use Stephanie again and highly recommend her!
When Suzanna came up to meet Tugsley for a meet and greet, he immediately stayed by her side. That eased any concern I had. Suzanna was a great sitter while I was traveling and I will definitely use her again. She gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was loved and being cared for while I was away.
Debra was absolutely wonderful with our two golden retrievers! She is reliable, timely, and incredibly dependable - everything you hope for in a pet sitter. Our dogs loved her from the very first visit. She provided detailed updates and great pictures during each drop-in, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. We highly recommend Debra and will definitely be using her services again!

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.
