She truly loves and cares so much for them just like her own! She is dependable and so sweet; and we will continue to rebook every week with her! Me and the pups are so thankful for her!”

I’ve also gone through giving all of them meds and their own space but keeping them company.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life dogs, cats, and even a few surprise visitors in between!

“Jan was amazing with Minion and his care. She was punctual, attentive, and made sure to let me know of anything she saw. She gives the absolute best updates too! Her attention to detail with our meet and greet gave me confidence but she really knocked it out of the oark with her stellar care. Weird measure metric I know but whenever we're away, his coat gets oily like he gets sad and doesn't clean himself. When we got home today he was happy, clean, and soft. So I know for sure he really enjoyed her company. I absolutely recommend her and will reach out to her for our future pet sitting needs.”
“Tabitha checks in on my pups when I am at work. She takes them out and plays with them. She is always response to messages and is kind. 10/10 recommend her for pet sitting services.”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels. I currently have 3 dogs of my own, so caring for pets is part of my everyday life — from walks and playtime to feeding routines, cuddles, and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. I grew up with dogs my whole life, which taught me how important patience, consistency, and attention are when caring for pets. I understand that every dog has their own personality and needs, and I always make it a priority to help them feel at home and loved while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers relaxing and snuggling, I’m happy to match their routine and give them plenty of attention. I’m comfortable with multiple dogs, different breeds, and administering basic care instructions. Outside of pet care, I work in healthcare and understand the importance of responsibility, communication, and providing compassionate care. Your pet will be treated like family with me, and I’ll make sure you receive updates and photos so you can feel confident they’re in good hands! My schedule is flexible outside of my regular work hours. I work Tuesday through Friday from 8 to 5pm but I am available Mondays and weekends for pet care. I have a large fenced-in yard where dogs can safely run, play, and get plenty of exercise while always being supervised. In my home, pets are treated like family and will have a clean, comfortable, and calm environment to help them feel at ease.

- 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.

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 .
