“Right from the initial meet and greet through to the very end, Lisa was great to work with and we knew our pets and home were in good hands! She went above and beyond leaving us a nice welcome home note and our back porch light on. Lisa will be our first choice for any future needs, highly recommend!”
“Camden was very caring and conscientious about taking care of our six cats, while we were away for six days. He took pictures and gave status reports, and even took in my mail. He has familiarity with many different kinds of animals, and we trusted him in our home 100%!”
“Mike is great with Sapphire! I always get feedback and pictures every visit, and Mike follows all instructions to a T. My dog feels safe when I'm away because of this special care she is getting and it is greatly appreciated. Perla & Michael C. are #1 on the Rover app!”
“We are so grateful to Cristine for taking such wonderful care of our dog and cat for 2 weeks. Our dog is very anxious and she warmed up to Cristine so quickly. She took extra time with her to help her feel secure while we were away and sent us tons of photos of them enjoying treats and snuggles. Our pets just loved her!”
“Theresa was fantastic! Her responses were timely & it's obvious she both loves and has experience with animals. Even while my shy cat was hiding, Theresa was able to get her out to pet her and have her take her nightly pill! Definitely reccomend.”
“Amanda was amazing and professional. She sent lots of pictures. Dogs eating, playing, etc... it was fantastic the way she worked and cared for our pups. Her summary of the visits were great to read how they are doing in real time. Thank you so much for your heart and professional. We can't thank her enough.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10 years old and I begged my mom and dad for a puppy of my own. I’ve taken care of family and neightbor hood dogs consistently since then and have volunteered at local dog shelters to help clean up and walk dogs. I have exprience walking dogs of all shapes and sizes! I can’t wait to stop by an play with your pup!! Currently, I work in the afternoon and evenings (I work with kiddos) thus I am available mornings and early afternoon. I am available all day on weekends. I can talk your dog on a walk within your neighborhood. When I leave, I can crate your dog if necessary. I can also provide fresh water, food, and treats if directed.
“Tim did a great job with our pups on his drop in visits. Our dogs loved him! He sent pics and videos from each visit. This is the first time I've left my dogs that I didn't worry once!! Will definitely use Tim again!!”
About: Hey there! Wether its a last minute trip or a trip planned out a month in advance I am here to help! You can trust that your fur baby will be in great hands. Knowing that being in a new environment can be overwhelming for your dog I ask that you tell me your usual day to day routine, that way they can still feel a sense of normalcy. Along with that I love playing with your dogs and providing lots of playtime/outside time. So book now and you wont regret it! I am currently taking classes to become a Veterinary Technician and all of my current classes are online. With that being said, I am home all day if I need to be. It is easy for me to accommodate your dogs needs, walking and playing whenever they need. I take my responsibilities very serious and pay attention to details making sure whatever I am doing is done correctly. I am very responsible, respectful, attentive, caring, and much, much more. I understand everyone has a different way in caring for their fur baby and I make sure to follow those ways to make not only you feel comfortable, knowing your fur baby is in good hands, but to also make your fur baby happy and comfortable as well.
About: I have owned animals all of my life. I currently have 4 dogs (2 labs, one rat terrier mix, and a corgie), a cat. In the past I've owned labs, Samoyeds, birds, fish, and a multitude of cats. I have a huge heart for animals and love to spoil them. The joy and love that animals bring to our hearts is unmatched. I work for a school, so I do have summer's off; meaning that I will have plenty of time to play with pets. During the school year, I am available after 3pm for afternoon walks. I will always choose what you prefer and what is best for you dog. I am not offering to have dogs stay in my home, due to the chaotic nature of my home. I will gladly walk your dog or play with them during the day. I will be sure to monitor wheather conditions and make the best choice for your pet.
“Lindsay is a dependable caregiver. She took care of my dog at the last minute. I loved the pictures she sent too. I will use her again when I need someone responsible to care for my Boba. 🐕”
About: I have loved and taken care of pets all of my life. Currently, I have a 7 year old pit mix named Hoagie. I am willing to do pretty much anything to keep a pet happy and healthy! My own pets are spoiled rotten. My family has fostered and rescued all sorts of animals ranging from puppies to squirrels and even deer. Growing up I had goats, chickens, rabbits, ducks, geese, turtles and fish along with cats and dogs. I am comfortable with any age or size dog and any sort of other animal there is. I also worked at Petsmart for some time and was trained in pet care and safety. My entire life I have had dogs and all sorts of other pets and there’s nothing that makes me happier than making their little tails wag. I am currently working full time out of the Quakertown area. Mon-Fri I typically work 8-5pm. Sat & Sun are open. I am available for drop ins and walks any day before or after those times. On my off days, I am available any time. Keeping a close eye on your pet while you’re away is of the up most importance. If your pet needs crating, training or just to get some energy out, I want to make sure it’s in a safe and enjoyable environment.
About: Hi! I’m Kyra, and I’m a passionate, dependable animal lover who treats every pet like family. I bring patience, responsibility, and lots of positive energy into everything I do - including caring for your pets! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every pet has their own needs, routines, and quirks. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing with some extra cuddles, I’m happy to match their vibe and make them feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’m attentive, communicative, and will always keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and give them all the care (and belly rubs!) they deserve! 🐾 I’m a full-time teacher, so my availability is most consistent in the afternoons, evenings, weekends, the summer time, and school breaks. On weekdays, I’m typically available after school for walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I have more flexibility on weekends and can often accommodate a variety of times. During the school year, I stick to a reliable routine and will always communicate clearly about my availability. Over holidays and breaks, my schedule opens up even more, allowing for extended care if needed! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, preferences, and any special needs to ensure they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive, patient, and always keep a close eye on pets during walks and visits. I follow all instructions carefully. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medications, or specific routines and I make sure pets are in a safe, clean environment at all times. I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind. I treat every pet like they’re my own; with lots of love, attention, and care!
About: Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and caring for them has always been something I do with so much love. I currently have four dogs: two Yorkies, a Bernese Mountain Dog, and a French Bulldog, so I have experience with dogs of different sizes, personalities, and needs. Living with them every day has taught me how important it is to provide attention, patience, affection, and a safe environment. I am very familiar with feeding routines, walks, playtime, cleaning, and daily care. I also understand that every dog is different and deserves to have their personality, habits, and routines respected. What sets me apart as a pet sitter is that I truly love dogs and treat them like part of the family. When a dog is in my care, I want them to feel comfortable, loved, safe, and never alone. I also want their owners to have peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. For me, caring for dogs is more than just a job—it is something I genuinely enjoy and something that has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. ❤️🐾 I work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule and allows me to care for pets throughout the day. I spend most of my time at home, so any dogs staying with me will have plenty of company, attention, and affection. I am available both during the week and on weekends, and I can easily adjust my routine to match each dog’s feeding, walking, playtime, and rest schedule. It is very important to me that every dog feels comfortable, loved, and right at home during their stay. 🐶❤️ In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I have a spacious house and a large, fully fenced yard where dogs can go outside, play, and enjoy themselves safely. I want every dog to feel comfortable and at home. They are welcome on the furniture and even on the bed if that is part of their usual routine. I always respect each owner’s preferences and instructions so their pet can feel as calm, happy, and comfortable as possible. Since I work from home, I am able to keep a close eye on them throughout the day, supervise their time outside, follow their feeding schedule, make sure they get enough rest, and provide plenty of companionship, attention, and affection. Their safety and well-being are always my top priority. 🐶❤️
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Harlem
Absolutely Wonderful Cat Care! 🐾❤️ We couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver for our 2 kittens and our adult cat! From the very beginning, we felt completely comfortable knowing they were in such caring, capable hands. Our cats were happy, well cared for, and clearly loved while we were away. The communication was wonderful, and we truly appreciated all the updates and attention to detail. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our fur babies were in good hands. We highly recommend Hailey to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable.😸😻😸

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.
