“Anna always follows directions and makes sure all pets are taken care of fully. We are always confident that our pets will get the best attention while we are away on vacation when we book Anna! We highly recommend Anna for any pet care needs!”
“Quick to respond and was very easy to interact with! Looked after my cats for a few days, stopping into my home while we were away. Felt like they were in good hands, thanks!”
“she has gone above and beyond for both of my kitties while i’ve been away. i can’t thank Constance enough for the security and well being in our absence. She is always willing to do a task for me, whether i ask for it or not. Book Constance if you’ve been searching for a great Rover!!!!”
“Kaylie was awesome! My usual sitters cancelled less than 2 days before my booking. Kaylie responded quickly to my request and was able to accommodate even at the last minute. She was even available to drop by prior so I could show her where to find everything and for my kits to meet her. My female cst is very picky about who she likes and Kaylie passed her test!! ? Kaylie was very punctual and took great care of our kits. She kept us updated at every visit and sent pictures.”
About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.
“Cara was fantastic! She was really thorough in taking good care of my kitty girl and kept me updated with pictures the whole time I was gone. I really appreciated her and would recommend her!”
“Kha went above and beyond to make sure our pooch Goose was happy and taken care of. Takes him out twice in the hour, and while he didn't want to play much, he did love cuddling and hanging out. Thank you Kha!”
About: I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both dogs and rabbits. I understand that every pet has its own personality, routine, and comfort level. I provide patient, attentive care and treat every animal as if they were part of my own family. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, feeding, or simply some extra love and companionship. I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive pet care. I can easily fit walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins into my daily routine. Since I’m home throughout most of the day, your pet will receive dependable care, companionship, and lots of attention. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. I carefully follow your instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and daily routines so your pet feels secure and at ease. I keep doors and gates secured, use a leash whenever required, and provide close supervision during every visit. I will also send regular photos and updates so you can feel confident that your pet and home are being treated with care and respect.
“Katherine did an exceptional job taking care of my two cats. One takes medication and can be fussy, she was able to get her to take her meds. When there were questions, the communication was prompt. Thanks again!”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs for over 24 years and truly enjoy caring for them. Every pet is different. Some are playful and full of energy, others are quiet and gentle, and I’m happy to adjust to what they need. I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I offer overnight house sitting so your pet can stay relaxed at home while you’re away. I follow your instructions carefully, keep things tidy, and do my best to give your pet plenty of attention and calm, loving care I currently work part-time, so I have flexible availability for pet care. I’m available on weekends and most weekdays after 2 pm. When I’m house sitting, I plan my schedule around your pet’s routine so they get the attention, walks, and care they need. When caring for pets in your home, I try to keep their routine as normal and calm as possible. I follow feeding schedules, walk routines, and any special instructions. I treat your home with respect, keep things clean, and make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable.
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
About: I have loved dogs for as long as I can remember, and I would love to be able to care for and get to know yours! I am a SAHM, so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your dog. They are sure to get lots of love and attention here. I have a 6 year old maltipoo to keep your dog company, as well as three kids who love and are great with dogs. Our partially fenced backyard is big and makes a great area for lots of exercise.
About: I have raised a puppy, and also dog-sat and cat-sat many times. I do have one cat living with me now and love all animals. I work from home M-F 7-3 but my schedule is flexible, I can take long lunches or leave early if needed. I can also take my laptop on the go if necessary to provide company for your pet. Regular feeding and walks for dogs or interaction for cats. Positive reinforcement. Regularly cleaning litter box. Keeping their water refilled and fresh. Also lots of play/cuddles.
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gorst
We had a wonderful experience with Gina! She was incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and attentive to our dogs’ individual needs. She took the time to get to know them and understand their routines, which gave us great peace of mind. We also really appreciated her flexibility and willingness to help us on such short notice. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals in her care, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy dog sitter. We would happily book with her again!
Sabrina is AMAZING — She is dependable, trustworthy, attentive, and goes the extra mile! This was our 1st experience hiring a dog carer— and we are so lucky to have found Sabrina! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We will DEFINITELY be hiring her 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 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.
