“Brittany took great care of my Stella and gave her plenty of loves while I was away. She gave great notes on her visits and kept me up to date on all the things. She even cleaned the containers her prepped meals were in and washed out her bowl and cleaned up accidents. Definitely will use her again for my baby!”
“My dogs loved her immediately! A wonderful, professional- couldn’t have asked for more. Pictures and check ins. My dogs were happy when I got home well taken care of.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pups. They are my family and knowing you were taking such great care of them while I was away was such a relief! Thank you again!!”
“My cat Reggie loves James! When I am out of town, Reggie is no longer sad, he is excited to see his human friend! Thank you James. You have removed from my work the anxiety I had about leaving Reggie. You Rock!”
About: I have a variety of pet care experience, from a board in kennel worker, to a kennel technician at a humane society, and my own lived experience with 5 different dogs across my lifetime. I've never met a dog I couldn't get along with! I'm patient and give all the care I can to any animal in my care! I'm a graduate college student so if you need pet care during the week, it will have to be after 5 or before 9. The weekends are completely free and I would be happy to watch your dog or cat all day!! When I'm taking care of pets, I follow whatever routine is given to me as closely as possible. This includes regular feeding, letting dogs out to the go to the bathroom or play, and sitting with the dogs as much as I can, whether that be in the same room with them, or actively petting and playing with them. I try to be as present and caring as possible and I will follow any rules you have for your animals!
“Melissa is an excellent cat-sitter. She has watched our cats for two different long (over a week) visits, and done a superb job. She is prompt and reliable in feeding them two times daily, plus litter clean-up and loving time. My favorite picture is my Calico cat licking her cheek in affection!”
“Jillian was amazing at communicating and keeping me updated on how my dog was doing each time she was there. Showed a lot of interest and care while making sure that my dog got everything she needed while I was away from home.”
About: My time working a the trading and boarding kennel had allowed me to handle sometimes over a 100 dogs in a day, each one with different personalities and needs. Each time I would take them on their potty breaks I would make sure to lavish them in attention and play chase if they felt inclined. I also have monitored up to 10+ dogs together in group play, being very careful to watch behavior and know when a dog has had too much or needs a better playmate. I am also an experienced feeder that can create highly individualized meals and medicate dogs through pilling or hiding meds in food/treats. This also includes non-oral meds like ear and eyes drops as well as topicals. Before the kennel, I walked many neighborhood dogs, taking them for long 30+minute walks and ensuring they were fed and had water. I would stay and give them attention after their walks to keep them company if I was not spending the night. I have experience in using E-collar and commands as well. I mostly used commands for feeding purposes but I can also use them to stop bad behavior. Injuries can also occur not matter how careful one is, be it a broken nail, ear inflections, or cuts and scrapes. I have experienced this many times at the kennel and am apt at tending to said injuries should they occur. I’m currently working a part-time graveyard shift which still gives me a lot of time to play and interact with your pet. I am only 24 years old which allows me bounce my sleep hours around so I can still care for your pet. I work hard to slowly build trust with nervous dogs and give them all play time, pets, and treats (owner approved of course). If there are any special needs, like age or aggression, I take extra care to ensure everyone and dog is safe and secure around me.
About: Taking care of domestic and exotic animals growing up was an enjoyable, it gives this heartwarming feeling. I have over 15 years of experience of taking care different pets. I am willing to go out of my way for my pets, friends, family and new clients. I helped with dogs birth, puppies care, and senior care. I have a set schedule for my dog from the time I wake up to going to bed at night. Feeding, exercise and playtime will be tracked so you know your pet is getting what they need. I will obey all rules and schedule that is given to me for the best care for your pet. Your pet is in great hands, playtime and optional bathe will be included in house sitting so you can come home to a happy and clean pet if they end up having too much fun outside.
“Hannah is awesome and so good with our animals! They warmed up to her right away, even our super shy kitty. She is very thorough and not afraid to ask questions to make sure the animals are taken care of perfectly. She was very patient and easy going after we had some issues with getting her in the house. Will definitely be my go to sitter for my fur babies from now on.”
“Always have a great experience. I travel at very strange times often with about 3 hours notice. Never had an issue with response time, ability to come by or treatment of my sweet Zoe girl. Thank you!”
“Jennifer was great with Shadow and all the updates made it alot easier to not have loads of guilt being away. I am definitely planning to booking with Jennifer again.”
“We absolutely love using Caitlin and will only ever use her when possible! Our animals are always extremely well taken care of and the communication is more than we could ever ask for. We always know our furry friends are in the best hands when we have her check in on them. Will reccomend over and over again!”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! She made us feel so comfortable. She was so prompt with check-in and updates. Our dog has seizures and she was knowledgeable and willing to accommodate that! 12/10 recommend”
About: Hi! I have experience pet sitting, both cats and dogs. I also had a dog walking business when I was a kid. I have experience with all kinds of dogs due to my time working as a kennel tech. My love for animals also led me to work at multiple stables as well as at an animal hospital. I love going on walks and occasional runs. If your pooch is active I would be happy to take them on walks and runs. I am also happy to curl up on the couch with snuggly pups. I currently have a Great Pryenees named Maui Jim who likes to lounge a lot. I work part time so I have free time to take care of pups on occasional weekends and throughout the week! If you have any questions on availability please reach out! I understand how to properly care for dogs as I have one myself. I have experience working with all types of dogs from my time at the DogSpot Hotel. I am willing to crate dogs if needed, and I am a very fast learner if your home has any security measures in place for me to use.
About: I’ve dog sat and raised my terrier for the past 10+ years! I love dogs, and my terrier lived to almost 14 years. Now I’m looking to walk dogs mostly because I miss it! I am fluent in english and spanish. I work full time Monday through Thursday. I am available to dog walk any time Friday through Sunday or the occasional weekday evenings after 7 PM. I have experience walking both small dogs and large dogs. I am comfortable taking them around neighborhoods, to parks, or even taking them for a run!

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 .

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.
