“Haylee was awesome!!! Her great communication made us feel that our Zeke was safe, happy, and well taken care of. We loved all the updates & pictures. We would highly recommend!!!!!!”
“Kelsey was so wonderful with our pets!! She walked into a difficult situation on a rescue mission after a negligent pet sitting service (not Rover). It took a while for Eloise, our French bulldog, to warm up to Kelsey due to the previous bad experience but Kelsey never gave up and she and Eloise became friends quickly. Kelsey was kind, caring, competent and attentive. We will be using Kelsey again for sure!”
“It was great having Erica watch over my Luna! She was kind, consistent, communicative, and I felt completely comfortable trusting her with Luna while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Erica to anyone looking for someone to care for their pup. I’ll definitely reach out to her again the next time I need someone to watch my pup. 100% recommend! 😊”
“Chaka is the best dog sitter. This is my first time ever using a service like this and she made things so easy with the process of getting to know my dog (K2) and me from start to finish. She's always going above and beyond and her care for my dog is level 1000% thank you Chaka!!!”
“So grateful for the last-minute, incredible care that Audette gave my little kitten over the holiday. I don’t spend much time away from him, and from the Rover photoshoots, I could tell she was deeply attentive, thoughtful, and caring. She made him feel safe and comfortable, and it showed immediately when I came home to a calm, happy, cuddly Zizou. She even washed his little dishes, which meant so much. I truly appreciate everything Audette did and will absolutely be booking with her again should we so lucky next time we are out of town. ❤️”
“It was my first time using Rover and I was nervous leaving my cats to a sitter but Maya was super helpful and a great relief. I was able to have a worry-free trip knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
“hunter was awesome to work with!! super communicative and incredibly loving towards my cats. i got the greatest photos of everyone having a lovely time :) nothing like the peace of mind knowing my cats were well cared for and i came back to a clean home which always feels nice!! absolutely booking hunter again :)”
“Mario went above and beyond for our cats. Very communicative, sent lots of pictures, and put in extra effort trying to fix their favorite toy when it broke. We came home to two happy kitties”
“Kimberly was excellent with my cat Stormi! Stormi is typically very very shy but somehow Kimberly made Stormi incredibly happy and playful! She was amazing with her and Stormi instantly took to her! She got great pictures and updates with each visit which was much appreciated!!!! When I returned I could tell Stormi had been properly cared for which is all you could ever want! Total peace of mind 🫶🏻🙏❤️”
“Kyle was amazing and went to check on Otis even on a super short notice. He was fast to respond and continued communication to make sure he didn’t miss anything to give me peace of mind. Otis was well taken care of with Kyle.”
“Melinda was great with our kitties during our stay. They are very shy with strangers but she was able to interact with them every day and able to get photos of them. I will definitely use her again and would highly recommend her.”
About: Hello my name is Blake and I am a veterinary student starting veterinary school in 2027. I grew up with veterinarians as parents and took care of a wide range of animals and I am comfortable administering medication. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats and love caring for them and will treat your pets just like my family! I also have pet reptiles and fish and have experience with many species of small mammals and birds if you have any exotic pets that also need care. I am happy to play with your dogs and cats, go for walks, do home visits, feed your pets, administer medication, clean litter boxes, and whatever else you may need. I have a more flexible schedule until I start veterinary school and can be available most days. If you need pet care at odd times I can probably fit you into my schedule. I have a fenced yard at my house and have a friendly golden retriever, Trinity. If I board your dog they will have a friend to hang out with while you’re gone and will be in safe hands!
“She followed all instructions to a TEE and was very interested in making sure my fur babies were comfortable with her before I left on my trip. I am very thankful for that.”
“Cassie was great! Our kitties were well taken care of when we were out of town. She was easy to talk to and get a hold of, and kept the kitties fed, happy and clean!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was little! Would dogsit family friends/neighbors dogs, ranging from big to small! I'm an active individual and would be more than happy to take energetic dogs in long walks, and if they're up for it, maybe a run! I am available on weekdays after 6 PM! I can also be available on weekends, but it just has to be communicated the week before! Your dog's safety is my priority. I maintain total situational awareness, use secure leash handling, and avoid triggers to ensure a controlled, stress-free evening walk.
About: First Aid & CPR Certified. I have taken care of pups since I can remember I had my first fur baby when I was in my early 20's. I love outdoor walks, dog walking is a plus for me. I enjoy taking care of animals, giving them the attention they need and give them the love they deserve. I am constantly around animals every day and I love it. I do currently work part-time in my days off I do take care of my 8 year old nephew and he's 4 year old toy poodle name Jordi which I enjoy I feed him play with him, give him hes potty breaks, do walks with them both. Its in my DNA I love to take care of people and furr animals. I also do have a 2 year old cat her name is Athena I got her when she was 4 weeks old and love every second of it. Our days consist of cuddling she likes being rubbed. I would do drop in visits, make sure to feed them play with them, would love to do walks with them and make sure they are happy and comfortable.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Highland Park
We had such a great experience with Cassie! She was kind enough to meet Archie beforehand, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving him in her care. She is always quick to respond, very accommodating with schedule changes, and so easy to communicate with. This was our first time leaving Archie crated for most of the day, and she made the whole experience so much less stressful. Archie did great, and I felt completely at ease knowing he was being well taken care of. We’re so happy to have found her and look forward to using her again!
This is the third time Hunter sits our dogs. He is the best sitter. He is kind, polite and very responsive. Our flights were a mess on this trip and he made sure we were covered and our dogs were taken care of. He just gave us the peace of mind we greatly needed. We could not recommend Hunter enough!
I had such a great experience with Maya! She took amazing care of Autumn while I was away and made the entire process so easy and stress-free. Her communication was excellent, and I absolutely loved getting so many pictures and updates throughout my trip! It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Autumn was happy and in great hands. I travel frequently for work, so finding someone reliable and trustworthy is really important to me. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful pet sitter!
This was my first time using Rover while I’m out of town and such a great experience! Thank you so much for treating Nugget as your own. I really appreciate you going out of your way with the last minute booking and coming back a second time when my trip back was delayed. It was so good to come home to a fresh litter box and water/food filled, and not have to start my day with a ton of chores.
Carrin was such a doting and diligent dogsitter. I was nervous to venture on Rover but good friends told me Carrin was THE BEST and so I pulled trigger. Even with their glowing recommendation, I was blown away by how attentive and kind she was with my sassy puppy. I loved each thoughtful and peppy report card and accompanying carousel of photos. I have a zillion photos of my dog and Carrin captured newfound angles that accentuated his handsomeness. All a pet parent wants is peace of mind when they leave their precious babies and I felt so secure with Carrin caring for my pupper. I am so grateful to have a trusted dogsitter option for my future travels!! She was also super patient with my newbie fumbling with the Rover app nuances, she is gracious on all fronts!
My boys love David. He has been with them since they were healthy. Till they developed special needs and has always come through with them. Including meds etc. Has respected our house. And overall a great person. As long as he is around. We will keep him coming back for our boys!
Rory is THE best. She is incredibly reliable and communicative and does a great job checking in on my cats whenever I am away. One of my cats requires an inhaler twice a day, and Rory always does exactly as required. I really have such a piece of mine whenever I am out of town because I know my cats are in great hands. And, they love her!

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
