“Jenny was great. She is a natural pup magnet! Everything was locked up and all instructions were followed and took the time to put her diaper back to ensure no accidents. She was so compassionate with my dog and even took the time to hand feed her cause she was anxious about me not being there. She sent a pic of my pup sleeping before she left. Love Jenny and will definitely trust her again to watch my pup anytime!!”

“We were so grateful to have a trusted sitter for our two cats while we were away. Katie S. Understood our cats' unique needs perfectly. She did a fantastic job communicating with us on how they were doing each day. In addition, she was also very aware of looking after our house. When the power went out and it had been raining for two days straight, she reassured us that she had check that the sump pump was doing its job. We were able to enjoy our trip worry free thanks to Katie S. She is truly a responsible, hardworking, trusted, and caring pet sitter.”

At one point waking up on thanksgiving to 10 border collie pups being born in our dining room. I do have a 1 year old Aussie doodle named Bodhi, he loves other dogs and people. I also have a 10 year old little boy who is a dog LOVER! I do work for the complex that I live in, so I am more than capable of check ins as needed.

I currently work full time weekdays 9 am to 6 pm. I do live where I work, my apartment is within walking distance of my office so I am more than able to stop and check on your fur baby as needed! I am more than happy to set up a meet and greet at my apartment to make you feel as comfortable as possible. I am on the second floor with a screened in patio.

About: I've had pets all through late childhood and into adulthood. I currently live in an apartment that makes owning pets difficult, but I love nothing more than to snuggle up on the couch with a fluffy friend and a book. I've been able to get my "puppy fix" by petsitting for friends and family. I'm the one they call when they'll be out of town or working late to take care of their fluffy family member. I'm looking for more dogs and cats to add to my life long friend list. I currently work full time, 1 evening a week. I don't have any pets of my own to take care of, so i'm pretty flexible when it comes to taking care of others' pets. I love taking dogs for walks or hikes. I'm available to come and visit a pet to give companionship, meals, potty breaks, etc. I have experience with puppies as well as senior pets.

About: I have had pets my entire life and have taken care of everything from newborn puppies to senior dogs, who need extra love, patience, and care. This includes dogs who were both blind and deaf. I have experience with dogs of all sizes from chihuahuas to Chows. In my most recent years, I have acquired multiple cats and have gained a clear understanding of these wonderful, funny animals. Pet care will be done around my full time job. I have a set schedule of 8-4:30 Monday through Friday or Tuesday through Saturday. I will be able to provide care before and after work, as well as on weekend days I do not work. I currently am only available for work in an owner's home. I will walk, feed, play with and clean up after pets as close to their usual schedules as possible. Pets will have to be able to be left alone during my regular working hours but care will be provided before and after those hours. I am willing to administer non-injectable medication.

About: I grew up with cats and dogs in the household. While my mom was away at work, my sister and I would be in charge of taking care of the animals. When I was younger, my neighbors and boyfriend’s family would intrust in me to take care of their dogs and take them for walks. I have a full-time job Monday-Thursday. I am flexible enough to alternate Fridays and Saturdays every week. Although they are already set in the schedule. Depending on the day I am not working, I am free all day (Friday-Sunday). I can give more details on my work schedule as needed. Depending on the client's house and their rules, I respect the clients guidelines and the requirements they expect. From previous walks/ in home stay/ feedings, I always communicated and client put their trust in me. If there was any concern or question, I respond very quick to ensure they can rely on an answer.

About: I've taken care of pets from as earliest as birth and into their elderly years, since I was 8. My family would occasionally breed our American Akitas. I've trained them, bathed them, cleaned up after them, and administered medications. They are a ton of work, but always worth the effort when we saw them finally meet their forever homes. I am available for whatever service you need, except for boarding, most days of the week except Thursdays after 2 pm, Fridays, and Saturdays before 2 pm. I am unable to care for your pet at my residence. We have 5 dogs here currently and I wouldn't want to overwhelm your pet with so many new faces. I am more than willing to be as accommodating as needed to care for them in your home, walking them, or simply letting out for a potty break.

About: I’m available for just about everything. I have multiple dogs so there is plenty of play time. I have had experience with dog training and internship under multiple trainers and different styles. I have worked as a vet tech for 4 years. I have crates for everyone and plenty of toys. Everyone has their own cubby where their stuff will be so we don’t lose anything. I’ve taken care of dogs with seizures diabetes and aggression there is no challenge I can’t handle. Each dog has their own tailored plan and pet parents will get a “report card” with a photo of their pups everyday, except during holidays it will be every other day. If you have any questions feel free to contact me :) I am a stay at home fur mom who enjoys helping others out with there own pups needs while they are away! We generally get up at 7am breakfast around 8am. Rest from 8-8:30 to prevent throw up! Then from 8:30am-6pm we are having fun which could be playing outside hanging in the house learning a new trick or going on a walk! 6:30pm is dinner time. Then rest again til 7pm then are doing the same thing as earlier til about 10pm when it’s bedtime! Pups are never outside alone I am always outside with them and will tailor the play groups to them weather that is no one or everyone I make the pups experience here is a happy one. I require all dogs in my care to have a collar with a tag of the owners info. When pups aren’t supervised they will be resting in there crate for safety. If we are on walks we are on a double leash system as one could always break!

Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a responsible sitter to help put their mind at ease over the care of their fur babies while they’re away. Will definitely contact again if needed. Thanks so much, Lisa!!”

About: Love to have a furry companion on my walks and give them some time outside, I’ve had dogs my whole life big and small and always enjoy walking them. Me and my husband are working part time, and we love dogs, so we have plenty of free days to spend and take nice walks with your pup! Our house has a fenced in yard and we also have a few gates so the dogs can’t get to any places they shouldn’t be.

About: I've been watching dogs for family and family friends for 15 years now, before I could drive myself. I've watched many dogs with special raw Diets, and dogs that have needed insulin shots. I have never encountered a scenario I couldn't handle. I'm working full-time, but have great hours, and would spend most of my time with the animals. I'm around and available all weekends. My wife and I spend most of our time home on weekends. I have a fenced in yard and 3 dogs of my own. All of which are really friendly. We often have family member's pets over to visit. I also stay at others homes, as that is normally where animals are most familiar and feel the most safe!

Christine has been a favorite Rover representative for us. We are a repeat customer of hers and will continue to call upon her care whenever able. Her sincere concern and care of our shar pei, Tricksy, has been of great relief to us. Christine’s communication is consistent and informative. We feel confident in leaving our unique 10-year puppy with her every time and can recommend her (with enthusiasm) to others.

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.
