“Maria did great with my dogs!! She was on time and sent me lots of pics, along with strong communication. I had to book a last minute trip with her and she responded so fast, which put me at ease to take care of my doggies! They loved her!”
“I can't recommend booking Brenda enough! I felt completely comfortable leaving my boys (🐶🐶) in Brenda’s care. She is kind, communicative, and clearly loves animals. My boys were not only looked after, but treated with genuine love and attention. Brenda sent me regular updates and photos that gave me a complete peace of mind while I was away, and I could tell my boys were happy, comfortable, and well cared for the entire time. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I'll definitely be booking with her again because my boys love her. If you're looking for someone trustworthy, compassionate, and truly passionate about animals, Brenda is the pet sitter to choose. Thanks Brenda for loving my boys!”
“Thank you so much Christa for coming by to take care of Ivy while we were gone for the Thanksgiving holiday. It's really comforting to know that someone who is trustworthy and cares is looking after her when we're away.”
“I left my cat for a short weekend trip and asked Abigail to drop in to play, check in, and feed her. Abigail was so independent, spent good time with Nessa, and gave me really thorough updates! Would definitely trust her with my cat again :)”
“Alyssa was great with Midnight! She was responsive and super friendly, even going out of her way to pick up some packages at our apartment office while we were gone! We’ll definitely book Alyssa again”
“Neha was responsive, went above and beyond, and even discovered when our kitties got locked in one of the rooms. Her attention to detail and care for our cats was wonderful and she is hands down the best cat sitter we’ve had.”
“She was able to help me out last minute which was very appreciated! We had to stay an extra day so I was stressed about the dogs but her willingness to help made me feel so relieved. Will be using her again!!”
“First time Rover user, and I would recommend Kayla! She watched my dog Cleo while I went out of town and we had a great experience! Kayla first offered to do a little meet and greet ahead of our booking, which allowed Cleo to get to know her a bit beforehand and to build trust. She was attentive taking notes about Cleo’s care during our meet up and was great with communication leading up to & during the booked visits! Kayla was sure to leave detailed summaries about each visit and tooks lots of photos — even showing that her water bowls were filled before she left! Would absolutely rebook! :)”
“This is the second time hiring Monica to take care of our dogs. She was very professional, reliable and patient with our older dog. Also, she makes sure she understands what motivates the dogs to keep them happy. Great communication and sent a lot of pictures during the visits. It's was a peace of mind knowing she was taking care of them. Yes, we will hire her again for our next trip. Thank you Monica!!”
About: I’ve had experience pet sitting as well as pet owning. I’ve also done a microchip and tagging clinic at the Austin Animal Center. I have two dogs of my own - 8 and 16 - so I have experience taking care of dogs of all ages. I have full time classes during the week, but I am free Friday Saturday Sunday for house sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins! If you have more questions about my schedule or anything else, feel free to reach out :) I make sure to put equal time and care into every pet I work with. I have great attention to detail, a compassionate gentle demeanor, and a love for all animals. I always take pride in providing the best pet care I can.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my entire life, from 6lb lap dogs to 130lb gentle giants, so I’m completely comfortable with any size or breed. I know that big dogs and small dogs have very different needs, and I adjust my care accordingly. Friends and family have always trusted me with their pets because they know their dogs are in good hands. I make sure all fur babies are well-fed, exercised, and genuinely loved while their parents are away. I work a flexible schedule, so pets in my care always have someone around. I’m available for boarding on weekends and weekdays. Dogs won’t be left alone for long stretches. Walks, playtime, and attention are built into every day! I treat every pet like they’re my own. I keep my space clean, secure, and pet-friendly. I’ll follow your routines, feeding schedules, crate preferences, medications, whatever your dog needs to feel comfortable in my home or yours. I stay in regular contact with updates and photos so you always know how your pup is doing!
About: Hello! My name is Jade and I would love to meet your furry friends! I started Rover a few years ago but had to stop due to time constraints from my full time job, but now I’m committing all my time to pet care. Currently, I have three cats and two dogs, who are all rescues. I’ve had both of my dogs since they were only a few months old. So I understand the trials and tribulations of puppyhood…puppy training, crate training, obedience training, and leash walking. Hiccup and Paris both love other dogs! They have experience with dogs of all sizes! Hiccup is more of a cuddler and couch potato. Paris is higher energy and loves to play. They would be so excited to have a dog come stay with them. Feel free to set up a meet and greet! I stay at home full time now and my husband also works from home. So your pet will have constant adult supervision during their stay. I have a fenced backyard and a fenced play area in my neighborhood. I also live really close to a large public park with walking trails.
“Alyssa is the best sitter. We have used rover in multiple cities and she is top notch. We have used her multiple times and she is super professional; from communication to the way she treats your pet and home.”
“Deanna once again took great care of my kitty menagerie. She is very good about sending detailed Rover Cards with pictures, so I know they're being well cared for, and I don't feel so far away from them. I have no qualms recommending her to others.”
“Rockstar cat sitter - 3 kitties for a whole month! ————— Best. Kitty. Sitter. We. Have. Ever. Had. When we went on a massive month-long road trip, Danielle was our amazing lifeline to our (three!) much-loved kitties. She sent pictures every day, played laser dot, gave treats, and even came up with the idea to play YouTube videos during the day so our boys wouldn’t be lonely! No surprise that some of those kitty pics turned into selfies, as our little guys fell in love with her. Danielle communicated with us every step of the way, was very gracious about her rates, giving us a “bundle” deal for our 3 kitties. She is upbeat, dependable, and a true cat lover. We have since gotten the chance to meet her own cats, and we’re so tickled to find that she spoils hers as much as we spoil ours! Your kitties will love her, and you will, too!”
“Alexis was wonderful! We went away for a weekend to a wedding and were able to relax knowing our little fur babies were being cared for. She even went above what we expected of her, cleaning up messes and checking in regularly with photos. We will definitely be booking with her again :)”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hays
Amber was extremely caring and flexible even after a mistake on our end with our address being labeled incorrectly. She astounded us by being over and above in her care for Bill. We felt very grateful that she was able to care for him over the holiday weekend.
Keegan did a great job taking care of our senior dog Miller. We had to go out of town in Miller needed his monthly shots at the vet. Keegan was very responsible in taking Miller to the vet and then playing with him at home once they got back. Keegan was a great communicator and clearly loves dogs.We will definitely use Keegan again and highly recommend him to everybody else.

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.
