“Lisa has taken great care of my two cats. She is very attentive to the smallest of details. My cats LOVE her and we appreciate Lisa’s kindness. I highly recommend her services.”
“Our two dogs were in good hands for the weekend with Rachel and her daughter. Good communication and lots of pictures. Thank you both for taking such good care of them!”
About: My pet care experience is extensive, having completed over 30, 5-star dog/cat sits, years of caring for and raising dogs and cats, as well as experience with Positive Reinforcement training and Clicker Dog Training. I have experience with administering many types of medication including pills and liquid form, and have cared for dogs with seizure issues, heart problems and joint issues. I have experience with lots of breeds, large, small and everything in-between! My experience covers young active dogs as well as elderly pups who need a slower pace, and I believe ever dog needs a "sniff" walk once in a while! My animal care experience spans my entire life! I have had the privilege of owning many rescue animals over the years including a German shepherd, border collie mix, chihuahua, miniature Maltese poodle mix, and three different cats! I've had dogs since I was 3 years old, got my very first (and long asked for) cat at 4 years old, experienced raising my first litter of kittens at 5 years old and got my very own miniature white Maltese poodle mix at 7! I've also done weekend dog watching and am always the first call for animal care when friends are traveling. I'm a college student, currently studying remotely to enable the amazing opportunity of pet care, traveling and pet sitting! My schedule is fairly flexible, so your furry friend will not be alone for long stretches of time! A little bit about me: I'm a trained ballet dancer, musician and writer, spending any free time I have taking classes, keeping up a healthy lifestyle and working on my first novel! I love spending time reading, walking the furry friend I'm staying with and finding new study cafe's. I am currently available for: -Dog walking services -Drop-in visits -In-home pet sitting -Long term in-home pet sitting -Elderly Dog walking care Specialized pet care I look forward to chatting about any further questions!
“Lindsey & daughter were fantastic! Marley and moose loved them and they were so well cared for and loved!! Walks and play time multiple times a day and she sent pics ❤️”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Jackie over a long weekend. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond even taking the time to meet with us beforehand. While away, her communication was exceptional. She kept us updated with thoughtful messages and clearly treated our cat with so much care and attention. It gave us total peace of mind. When we returned home, we were genuinely touched to find a sweet thank you card and a warm “welcome home” loaf of bread from her favorite bakery. That level of thoughtfulness is so rare and truly sets her apart. I cannot recommend her highly enough, she is truly one of a kind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat you and your pets like family book with Jackie.”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always considered my dogs part of the family. While I’m new to professional dog walking, I have years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, understanding their individual personalities, and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. My Boston Terrier, Daisy, was the love of my life. We were lucky enough to have 10 wonderful years together, and she taught me just how special the bond between a person and their dog can be. Because of her, I understand that trusting someone with your dog means trusting them with a very important member of your family. I’m dependable, attentive, patient, and genuinely excited to spend time with dogs. I’ll take the time to get to know your pup, learn their routines and preferences, and make sure they receive the same love and attention I would want for my own dog. Whether your dog needs a leisurely walk, some playtime, companionship, or simply someone who will give them lots of attention while you’re away, I’d love the opportunity to help! I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets the time and attention they deserve. I’m able to work pet care into my daily routine and can be flexible with walks, drop-in visits, and pet-sitting needs. I’m dependable and like to plan ahead, so I’ll make sure your pet’s routine is followed as closely as possible. I’m also happy to accommodate their individual feeding, walking, playtime, and medication routines when needed. I know pets feel most comfortable when their normal routine stays consistent, so my goal is to make your time away as stress-free as possible—for both you and your pet! When caring for pets in their home, I treat both their pets and their home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow their normal routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medications, and any special instructions. I take time to get to know each pet’s personality and comfort level. Some pets want lots of attention and playtime, while others need a little more space and patience. I never want a pet to feel rushed or uncomfortable, so I let them set the pace while making sure they feel safe, loved, and cared for. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages during visits so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and doing well. I’ll leave your home clean and tidy and make sure everything is just as I found it when I leave.
“Melissa did a fantastic job of taking care of Owen. She was attentive to detail and was respectful of my home. Owen was happy to see her and she cared for him like he was her own”
“This was my first time using Rover (or any service) rather than having a friend who was able to take care of Bader while I was out of town. Alex was super sweet when we met and immediately had a great interaction with my dog. He even wanted to follow her out the door when she came by to drop off the key. Traitor. She sent pictures and updates each day and let me know how he seemed to be doing, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely have her watch him again.”
“Andrea was consistent on her drop ins for our dog Columbia. She relayed to us updates and what she did with photos of Columbia. Even though we were quite busy on our trip we appreciated knowing what was going on at home, which gave us peace of mind. Thank you, Angela and Kevin”
“Sarah did an outstanding job! We truly appreciated the thoughtful updates and adorable photos of our fur babies throughout our time away. It was comforting to know that Ranger and the cats were in such capable and caring hands. Your attention to their needs and well-being made a world of difference for us. Thank you so much for providing such excellent care while we were gone!”
“Ashlee was great to work with! She stopped by for a visit before we left town and she kept us posted with photos and messages about both the dog and the cat. We would definitely work with her again.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my entire life. We currently have two wonderful dogs, Bitzer and Bueller—they bring so much joy to our lives!

Reliable & Punctual: I show up exactly when promised for walks and visits. Gentle & Loving: Your pet gets the exact same high standard of care, attention, and safety that Bitzer and Bueller get. I would love the opportunity to give your pets a fun, safe, and happy experience while you are away! I am very flexible with my time throughout the weekdays and weekends. I can walk your pets, play with them, check in on them, and dog sit them at my home if they are good with other dogs and children. I will send you updates and photos during each visit so that you will have peace of mind that they are being well taken care of and feel very loved! I have a gated backyard, two very friendly dogs that are good around all people, including children, and would be willing to watch them in my home if they’re good with dogs and kids. I could also crate them if you needed me to as well. I will follow your direction on what is best for your dog(s).
“Christy was extremely kind and accommodating assisting me when my dog sitter was unable to make it due to an emergency. She has great communication, sent lots of wonderful updates and notified me of how my dogs were really doing! I would absolutely book again and appreciated her making time to check on my dogs last minute!”

“Shachel was amazing at taking care of my foster kittens while I was traveling. She is so kind and sent daily updates with photos. I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies!😻”
“We booked Kirsten to check on our Kitty for us while we were out of town this past week. She was always quick to respond to messages and showed up when she said she would which put our minds at ease being thousands of miles away from our cat. She also sent us thorough updates about her visits with our cat as well a lots of pictures which we loved!”
About: I have been working in the animal industry since I was 15. I raised, shown, and trained German Shepherd dogs for 3 years. I have worked in boarding facilities and have been on Rover for over 5 years. I currently own two German Shepherds:) I work from 7-2:30pm Monday thru Friday. I have availability before and after those times, as well as full weekends. I do prefer to not stay overnight but can spend most of the day with your furry friends or do drop-ins ❤️ I can do frequent potty breaks, fetch, occasional walks, and feeding/medications.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hayden
Mellany provided so much love and care to my two cats while I was away. Even my cat, who is usually very shy and not comfortable around strangers, warmed up to her right away! I truly appreciated how caring and attentive she was with both of them. I would definitely recommend Mellany and will be reaching out to her again in the future!
Lisa was wonderful. I have never left my cat for more than 36 hours and planned to be away for 10 days so that made me extremely anxious. We did a meet and greet prior to my vacation and she made me feel very comfortable knowing my "baby" would be in good hands! I loved getting the daily pictures and report cards. I would not hesitate to book Lisa again if/when the need arises!
Having Crystal drop in on our cats was a pleasure. We really liked her, and she was very caring for our (weird) elderly cats, even though they mostly hid during her visits. She handled an unexpected mess on the carpet like a pro. We're impressed and would definitely book her again - highly recommend!
Nike was absolutely wonderful and took such great care of our whole crew—cats, birds, and chickens—while we were away. We really appreciated the daily updates and photos; they were thoughtful and reassuring. She’s kind, communicative, and made us feel completely at ease during our trip. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!

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 .

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 use the 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.
