“We are always happy to trust our cat to Esmeralda. It’s important to us that Kuzya feels comfortable around her and doesn’t mind to interact with her. Esmeralda is reliable and carefully follows all our instructions!”
“Michele was great at taking care of my older cat. She communicated very well, made sure he was fed properly, and took care of everything else that was needed. I would definitely try to book Michele again!”
“Tillana was an excellent sitter! She clearly loves animals and loves to get to know their personalities. I’m worried my cats might love her more than me, but I think that’s the best I could have hoped for! We had a hiccup with our travel plans because of one of our cat’s health issue, and she was flexible and ready to learn the changes to the check-in requests. She did 2 regular check-ins daily on our cats, and gave thorough updates on their well-being, their habits, and also monitored health issues. One of our cats needed a pill at each meal and she had no problem making sure he took it. I was most impressed when she noted that one of our cats had eaten slightly less at one check-in! Tillana also took many excellent photos of the kitties!! Will absolutely book her again the next time we are out of town!!”

“Julia truly cares about your pet and goes above and beyond to make sure they are well taken care of. She is quick to respond, reliable, trustworthy, and communicates well. Julia is amazing!! Definitely recommend, she's 10 out of 10”
“Cordigen was wonderful and went above and beyond for our two cats while we were traveling. We massively appreciated the pictures and updates about our cats but also how Cordigen regularly took in packages and made sure everything else was in order in our home. Thank you, Cordigen!!”
“Leo was wonderful with Olaf! He came for a walk and a hang out while I was out for a very long two days of a conference and Olaf took to him right away. He was flexible with our needs and very communicative. He checked in with me before and after his check in and Olaf was very appreciative of the attention. I'd be more than happy to book him again when we need someone to look after Olaf. Thanks Leo!”

About: I have been around and cared for animals for as long as I can remember! In the past I have worked at a pet care and boarding facility for over four years and I have four pets of my own. Constantly being around animals has taught me a lot and I am committed to continue learning . I am comfortable handling any breed of dog, energy levels , and size. Older dogs that might need medication are also no problem. I am willing to adapt and learn how to best care for your animals. My biggest goal is building trust with and your fur baby and providing the best care possible. I currently work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible and I am available when needed! I can also be very flexible on the weekends and can accept last minute bookings. When taking care of your baby my biggest goal is to gain their trust and do all the fun things you would normally do. I would love the opportunity to take care of your pets and shower them with love. I work fully remote so my schedule is very flexible, especially after 5pm I can accept more bookings. On the weekends I am completely open and accept last minute bookings. When in your home, I would really enjoy playing your pets, taking them on walks, and anything that you recommend doing that you know they would really enjoy. Making sure they are comfortable and happy is my biggest priority.
“I'm so glad we found Fabiola, she was a wonderful caretaker to our rabbits. She came over before our trip to make sure she understood what was necessary and was communicative throughout. She was very thorough, leaving their space very clean. She was also kind and we will definitely book her again!”
“Michelle was fantastic! Very communicative and always responds in a timely manner. She went above and beyond to help while I was gone. My pup was so loved and she sent tons of photos so I could see how happy she was! Will definitely book again in the future. Thank you Michelle!!”
About: I've been around animals for as long as I can remember, starting with Ginger, my family's German shepherd and husky mix, and four cats growing up. I later spent about two years volunteering at my local SPCA, working hands-on with dogs of every size and temperament, from bouncy puppies to nervous rescues. I've also had cats of my own as an adult, including two rescues, and fostered kittens before I started traveling. Since then I've cared for pets through farm stays and housesits across Costa Rica, Panama, Spain, and Canada — dogs, cats, chickens, goats, even an adult pet rat. I'm comfortable administering medication, working with anxious or senior animals, and managing multi-pet households. I'm calm, attentive, and treat every home and animal I look after like my own. I'm currently transitioning to the San Mateo County area temporarily starting early November and building my schedule around pet care full-time, so I have plenty of flexibility for house sits, and daily visits, including extended or last-minute stays. I don't currently have a conflicting 9-to-5, which means I can commit fully to a pet's normal routine for the length of a booking rather than fitting care in around other work. Since I focus on house sitting, I stay at your home rather than asking your pet to adjust to a new environment. I follow feeding, medication, and walking routines exactly as instructed, keep the house clean and secure, and send regular photo updates so you can relax while you're away. I don't bring other pets into the home, so your animal gets my full attention for the whole stay.
About: I’ve cared for animals, kids, and older family members my whole life. I have a passion for animals and nature so why not bring both my worlds together. Love to walk and hike and take dogs to the beach or even a nice brunch moment. I I’m not working at the moment but I workout and go to hot Pilates or yoga every other day and I love to enjoy my hikes on a weekly basis, right now my schedule is pretty open and I would love to start walking your furry friends I take care of pets like they are my children I have two dogs and they are my world. I love to bring them on adventures to the beach

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.
