“Rhea took care of our cat Biscuit while we were out of the country for 10 days and she was an amazing pet sitter. She was so great to work with and provided tones of updates and pictures that helped us be able to relax while we were so far away! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet while they are traveling and we will definitely be looking to work with her again in the future!”
“Excellent service from Jacob! He was friendly, professional, and super diligent in taking care of our two cats. Jacob provided detailed updates, including pictures, for every visits, and made us feel relaxed knowing that our two cats are in great care. Every instructions we provided was followed, and Jacob always went above and beyond. We would definitely contact Jacob for future visits, and highly recommend Jacob's service.”
“Ulku and Andy are incredibly patient and very easy to communicate! They took great care of my dog, and I know I can always trust them to take her on walks when I’m away. Highly recommend!”
“Joana was wonderful! One of my cats needs medicine twice a day in a specific timeframe and she was prompt and very trustworthy. They were obviously well cared for when I got home. Will definitely book Joana for my next vacation!”
“Erica took care of my dog Darla for two days and she is great! Darla is very happy with her, and she responds to my last minute questions very quickly when a false alarm arose ( I thought I booked the wrong service but it turned out to be all good). Thank you Erica!”
About: Since I was young, I’ve loved animals, specifically dogs! I have always had my own dog and have watched many different dogs, large, energetic, and even puppies! I currently work from home and have my own dog, so taking care of another pet whether it be drop ins or walks, is completely doable. My schedule is very flexible and I can work from anywhere. I have a small fenced in yard and a friendly Labrador! He is super energetic so I am constantly walking him and ensuring he gets his energy out.
About: Taking care of cats and dogs has been a huge part of my life and I’ve loved every second of it. I’ve taken care of cats for the past 20 years. We have had up to five cats in our household, therefore I am well experienced with multiple animals at one time. I have about 15 years of dog experience. My pets are in their senior years, so I do have senior care experience. I now live with my very own girl cat and have raised her since being a kitten, so I am familiar with young kitten care as well. I work as a hybrid employee with varying work from home days week by week. Therefore my availability does change frequently. That’s not to say I’m an inconsistent caretaker. Just won’t be available in the middle of the day certain days of the week. Safety is a priority for myself as well as your pet/pets. I can ensure you I am aware of how important it is to stay alert and attentive to your pets. I also understand that making sure your home is safe is a priority. I will treat your home and pets with respect seeing that I would want the same for myself.
About: I’ve had two dogs of my own for over 10 years, so I have plenty of experience taking care of dogs and understanding their needs. I’ve also dog sat for others, including overnight stays. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, playing and making sure dogs are well taken care of while their owners are away. I’m currently a college student, so I work around my class schedule, but I still have plenty of availability throughout the week. Mondays I’m free before 3 PM and after 6 PM, and Wednesdays I’m available before 2 PM and after 5 PM. Tuesdays and Thursdays are my busiest days, but I’m completely free on Fridays and weekends. I’m happy to work with owners to find times that fit their pets’ needs. I always make sure pets are comfortable and well taken care of while their owners are away. I follow each owner’s instructions when it comes to feeding, walks and daily routines. Having two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets. I make sure they get plenty of attention and exercise while keeping their environment clean and safe.
“I can’t say enough awesome things about Ridgley!! She was always on time and followed all of my instructions. My one pup is super scared and timid. Ridgley somehow got her out from behind the chair to go outside AND got her to eat which I thought was a lost cause. She’s amazing. 10/10! I’m so happy to have found someone that I can trust and allows me to enjoy my vacation because my pups are taken care of so well.”
About: Hi there! I’m a reliable and caring animal lover with plenty of experience walking and sitting dogs of all sizes and energy levels. I also cared for my two cats for three years, so I have experience with cats and love them just as much as dogs! Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little company while you’re away, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m attentive, trustworthy, and always focused on keeping your pets safe, happy, and comfortable. I’d love the opportunity to give your furry family members all the love and care they deserve! I work from home with a fairly flexible work schedule; M-F typically 8-4. I am available throughout the day and any day after work or on the weekends. Whether I’m caring for pets in my own home or in a client’s, I prioritize their comfort, safety, and routine. I make sure they have plenty of fresh water, regular meals, and exercise suited to their energy level. I follow any specific instructions provided—like feeding schedules, medications, or behavioral preferences—and always give them lots of attention, affection, and playtime.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was 11 years old. My family has owned dogs and cats for pretty much my whole life and I am very experienced with taking care of them I am completely available until nov 1! Boarding, walks, you name it! After november 1, I am available after 3 on weekdays and free all weekends! In my apartment, I’ll ensure that your pets get their exercise by taking them on walks outside on the river trail! I have plenty of toys and dog treats as well!
“Danielle is a wonderful pet sitter who took superb care of Java while I was away. Last minute, Java was prescribed medicine and Danielle was able to give Java his meds without problem while I was gone. My heart felt at ease with Java in Danielle’s care!”
About: I grew up in a household that always had at least one pet; everything from turtles, birds, hamsters, to 2 cats and 4 dogs. I've always loved animals and would love to meet your pet too! Since I live in an apartment that doesn't allow for pets, I'm hoping meeting and caring for your pets will bring me the same joy I have when I'm at home! I took care of two elderly dogs for the last two years - one who required full time attention including administering medicine. My schedule is super flexible! I work mostly in the evenings and am free on the weekends. My roommate is also a dog lover and would be more than happy to have a furry friend stay with us. I currently rent a small apartment with a friend, but we are just a few blocks from a dog park! The space is a bit small, but I have had dogs stay with me in the past with no issue!
About: I have been caring for my grandparents dogs while they go on vacation ever since I was 10, always making sure they were walked, fed, and kept in clean conditions. Caring for animals is never about just getting the job done for me, I genuinely love animals of all kind and enjoy interacting with them and getting to know each pets personality. In the absence of pets of my own, I have even taken to befriending crows, squirrels, chipmunks, and more in my backyard so that I still get to engage with animals daily. I currently only work part time on certain days, allowing me full freedom to care for your animals as often as needed to ensure they do not get lonely or bored while you are away! I always make sure the animals basic needs are met—food, water, and physical/mental stimulation—but also go above and beyond to make the animal feel loved and less anxious while their families are away.
About: I work part-time for an independent pet-sitting company and have lots of sitting and walking experience. I grew up taking care of family dogs and have recently become accustomed to cat care as well. Employed part-time and a part-time student (asynchronous schedule). Generally very available and plenty of flexibility. I’m especially open to sitting on the weekends. I don’t have a fenced yard, but am more than willing to transport pets to a more favorable outdoors spot to play/relax. There are two cats in my home, but I’m able to keep them separated for extended periods of time.
“Si yeon was great, she did a wonderful job caring for my kitties and gave me great peace of mind! Communicative, friendly, and made sure to give them some attention and play time while I was away. Will definitely rebook, thanks Si yeon!”
“Alexa was great with my cat, Teddy. Initially, Teddy was somewhat reluctant to interact with Alexa. . She did a great job of making him feel comfortable. By the second day, teddy was very playful with her”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Gulph Mills
This was my first time using rover and I could not have had a better experience with Alexandra. She went above and beyond taking care of my cats Jules and Fiji. Any nerves I had about leaving my cats with special feeding instructions and medical needs were put to rest by Alexandra. She is a true life saver and you can tell how much she enjoys getting to know your pets and makes every effort to address their needs! Alexandra will be my first choice should I need help checking in on the kitties in the future!
Rhea took care of our cat Biscuit while we were out of the country for 10 days and she was an amazing pet sitter. She was so great to work with and provided tones of updates and pictures that helped us be able to relax while we were so far away! I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone to care for their pet while they are traveling and we will definitely be looking to work with her again in the future!
We were very impressed with Heather, from the initial meeting to introduce her to our cat and go over where things were in our house to the thorough communication during our vacation with the most pictures I have ever received from a cat sitter. 10/10 and will definitely hire Heather for our future vacations.
Emma was wonderful with Benny while we were away. She was very reliable, kept me updated every day, and paid close attention to his food, water, and overall behavior. I really appreciated how thoughtful and communicative she was, especially since Benny can be a little cautious with new people. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was checking on him every day. I would definitely recommend Emma and would be happy to book with her again!
Aidan was an amazing sitter for my 2 cats. She spent about 30 mins per visit for water/food/litter box changes, checking on them when they were hiding and playing with them. I really appreciated here detailed updates, reliability and care. Will definitely book again.
Grace was absolutely wonderful with our two cats while we were away! Her communication was thorough and prompt, and she went above and beyond to help with other things that came up around the house. What really stood out was how much quality time she spent with our cats and how genuinely she got to know their individual personalities. Her thoughtful updates and messages gave us so much peace of mind during a long vacation. We came home to two happy cats and a well-cared-for home. We would absolutely recommend Grace and will definitely book her again!
Rachel took excellent care of our two kitties while we went on a weeklong trip to California - she was fantastic! The communication was instant and she shared photo updates daily. She even went above and beyond pet sitting to notify us when the power in our downstairs room went out, watered our plants etc. This was our first time being away after we moved to a new house, so we were worried about how they would handle it. But when we got back, the boys seemed happy and weren’t anxious at all. Our shy kitty was even beginning to warm up to her, which speaks volumes - it usually takes him months to be comfortable around new people. He also gets angsty when we are gone for more than a couple days and spite pees after we return, however this time we had no accidents! Apart from that, she’s truly wonderful and a kind person. We’ll 100% be rebooking with her for future trips!
Julie did a wonderful job taking care of my cats while I was gone, providing plenty of pictures for me and engagement for them. She was also willing to work with me to get through my building's byzantine security system, which I appreciated. She made my first extended trip away from my cats a stress free experience.

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.
