“Lindsay took wonderful care of my cats!!! She treated them like family. My most timid cat, Nami, ended up becoming best friends with her by the end of it. She also helped out with other things I forgot, like watering my house plants and pulled a package inside my house :) Thanks again, will definitely book again for my next trip”
“I highly recommend Georgia! She has been excellent in taking care of my Weimaraner, Leo. She is incredibly caring, thoughtful, and attentive to his needs. I always feel at ease knowing he’s in such good hands. Leo absolutely enjoys his time with her, and it’s clear she genuinely loves and cares for the dogs she works with. I’m very grateful to have found someone so reliable and compassionate.”
“Claudia was amazing in taking care of our little old man Charlie. I am beginning to think he prefers her over us 😂. Nothing is more important when going out of town than knowing your fur babies will be well taken care of!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a kid, and for the past 4 years I've been in jobs that include dog care such as a kennel attendant, dog bather, and dog groomer I work from home, as does my fiance so someone will be home at all times to take care of your fur baby. We have plenty of time in our schedules for walks, playtime, anything they need If it is my home they will have access to the entire place, they will get constant attention and love, potty breaks at least every 2 hours, but sooner if needed.
“Faith took amazing care of my dogs while I was away! I had her pop in twice a day to let the dogs out and feed them, and she was punctual for every visit. The dogs were happy in every photo that she sent to me. Overall would definitely rebook with Faith when I go out of town again.”

“Christine is amazing! She is punctual, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She was able to accommodate my last-minute request while I was in town visiting family and unexpectedly needed someone to care for my dog. I’m always nervous about leaving my dogs with someone new, but Christine immediately put my mind at ease. It was clear that she genuinely cared for my dog and treated him like one of her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!”

About: All about safety, reliability, and open communication with pets and owners. Open to specific type of care as long as the communication is open! Grooming, medication, and walking experience. I work full time from home so I am available early mornings, evenings, and any time on weekends. Also open to house sit overnight if I am available. I have a large fenced backyard and a separate shaded deck for the days that get rainy. Also have plenty of pet toys from my dog that can help keep your pet entertained. Also have a medium crate if you are in the crate training phase. And plenty of snacks for your pup!
“Sabrina is amazing! My pups loved having her come over and she kept me and my girlfriend updated with pictures and videos. She not only let our dogs out during her drop in visits but she stayed for 30-45 minutes and played with them and gave them lots of attention. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to any of my friends here in town!”
“Martha took such great care of our cat while we were away for vacation! She always arrived on time and gave him his medicine he needed. Every day she sent us pictures of our cat which made it easier to enjoy our vacation and not worry about him! I will definitely book Martha to watch our cat in the future, I highly recommend her!!”
“Crimzen treats my dogs with kindness and respect. She is punctual, communicates well, and provides updates on how the girls are doing during their time the her. So far, so good!”
“Tamara is great! She takes her time to introduce herself to your pet, and makes sure they’re comfortable with her entering your home. She’s always on time and responsive to calls/texts! My pup loves her and the massages he gets during each drop-in visit! I would recommend Tamara to everyone, and will only be asking her for help on the future.”
About: I’m a life time pet lover. I’ve had dogs, cats, horses & bunnies growing up but have always loved dogs the most. I’m familiar with all sorts of breeds from my own personal experience. Big breeds such as German Shepherds, American Akitas, Pitbulls & small breeds like dachshund, chihuahuas & poodles. My experience in caring for these breeds has been from my own pets, & caring for family and friends pups. Just as much as I loved their pups & my own i’d do the same with your beloved pups! I currently work full time, but I am able to walk/ pet sit your pup after work or on the weekends. They will get the best care possible! I live in an apartment, but on the weekend and when I am home after work they get two walks before bed and several walks throughout the day when I’m home on the weekends.

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 .

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.
