“Steve was referred to me by a friend. He came to do a meet and greet and was available to add check-ins with my pups on short notice. I've been having him come by a few days a week for the past several weeks now. He's flexible, responsive, and completely reliable. I have so much less stress, leaving the dogs at home when I'm at work for a full day, knowing he'll be checking in on them! He's wonderful!!”
“Melody was absolutely amazing! We had so much peace of mind with our two cats in her care. She sent plenty of status updates during drop-ins, letting us know that our cats ate, played, got pets, etc. She also included pictures every time, which made us super happy to see our cats interact with her ☺️. Melody went above and beyond multiple times. She came over to our house a few days prior to us going out of town so she could get acquainted with our cats and familiar with our home and routine. She of course was great to chat with and is a very sweet person! Also, the first night we were away she stayed extra time to pay close attention to our cat who had just had a seizure the night before. Overall, she made a clear effort to really earn the trust of our cats, and they both quickly warmed up to her. We would strongly recommend anyone to book Melody to watch their cats. We have a lot of trust in her and we will most certainly be booking her again next time!”
“Grant took care of our two cats while we were away for a long weekend. He followed all instructions and left the house clean which we really appreciated! We would definitely use him again. Thank you!”
About: I can take care of any and all animals! (Except snakes and spiders) Most of my experience is with Dogs, Cats, Lizards and Ferrets and I can negotiate the pricing for smaller animals (Lizards, Ferrets, gerbils, etc) I am used to taking care of all sorts of animals, big and small! I have experience with old, young, aggressive and shy dogs! I can help with all your animal needs. I ask for two weeks notice for pet care because I am in school so I need advanced notice to make time for your lovely pet! I am available all day Tuesday and Thursday and all weekend. For Monday, Wednesday and Friday I am available 6 am or after 5 for walks or drop ins.
“Jenny was fantastic! She is not only highly rated on her own, she also comes highly recommended by other pet sitters. we will definitely use her again, thank uou Jenny!”
“Ashley has been great with our pups! She shows up on time (or even early) every time. She cares about the pups well being and follows our guidelines. We’re so grateful for her help!”
“Laura was the purrfect pet sitter for my cats while I was out of town. I will definitely have her back in the future. She was very responsive and easy to plan everything with and my kitties loved her.”
“Thank you for taking such good care of my kitty while I was gone! The Rover card report and pictures were awesome so I knew all was well at home while away. So grateful and highly recommend Emily!”
“Ion is an animal whisperer!!! All our pets (dog and 2 cats love him). He takes great care of them and gracefully follows very complicated medicine routines for one of our cats with a skin condition. Thank you, Ion!”
“Aislyn was absolutely wonderful during her drop-in visit with our pups. From the moment she arrived, she was warm, engaging, and clearly has a natural connection with animals. Our Pomsky took to her right away, and the little one was warming up to her. Shiba Inus aren’t easily impressed 🙂 She was attentive, kind, and made sure they felt comfortable and cared for the entire time. It gave us real peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. You can tell she genuinely enjoys what she does, and it shows in the way she interacts with pets. We would happily trust Aislyn with our pups again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone reliable, caring, and truly great with animals.”
“Shari took care of our cat while we were out of town for a few days. We spoke to her before we decided, and we were impressed with her attention to our requests. While she was watching our cat, she sent pics and an update after each visit. We feel that our cat was well-cared-for. We will certainly try to have her watch our cat the next time we are heading out of town.”

Our condo unit is clean with minimal obstructions so pet's feel free to explore and find a cozy spot. We have no pets of our own, but enjoy the companionship of any fuzzy friend.
“We are repeat recipients of Colleen and Brian’s great care for our pets. Our big boy is Great Pyrenees that should weigh 100 but has been having issues eating. Colleen and Brian are great about catering to our special needs pup to get him to eat, even when we are out of town and he is in their care. Highly recommend and will use again many times in the future!!”
“Amy has been an absolute god send with our 10 month old, baby boy Jax! She has been so kind and shared her incredible vet tech knowledge with us while we help get Jax through some tummy issues. She is a great support in our efforts in helping Jax become a well-behaved dog and leaves great and detailed information from their check-ins. I hope to use Amy for our boy for as long as we can have her!! Amy is the best!!!!”

Thank you, Shannah for your help with our 2 cats!!! Your thoughtfulness and thoroughness let us have a piece of mind while we were traveling. Our 1 cat is so timid, we can't believe she came out to greet you! We just moved to this area so it's such a relief to find someone as wonderful as you to help us with them going forward. We appreciate you so so much!
Rory was amazing! Our kitty Penny loved spending time with Rory while we were out of town. Rory communicated well and even changed our automated litter box when it got dirtier than I was expecting. If we ever need someone to visit Penny when we are out of town will def be reaching out to Rory again!!! Thank You!!
Lindsay has been absolutely amazing. She is very timely and my dogs love her. My Cane Corso can be very intimidating and he’s just a puppy but she’s unfazed by him. He had a diarrhea accident in his cage and she took the time to help clean up a bit and take the dirty stuff outside. It was so helpful! 10/10 recommend Lindsay!
Kelly is great with our cats! They love her and we always feel incredibly at ease when we’re away knowing she’s watching them. She shows up on time and follows our instructions exactly. We’ve had one of our cats have a few small health issues pop up during the stay and she immediately lets us know and takes care of it. Would highly recommend her!
Alexis did a wonderful job on the drop ins for our two cats. One of our cats was even a little bit difficult with her at first but Alexis handled it with no problems. We asked that boxes be cleaned, food and water was filled and she stayed to give them some cuddles and pets. Over all everything went great. Would love to have Alexis help us again with our girls. Thank you so much.

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.

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.
