“Haley has been a very dependable caretaker and friend to our cats and fish. She has been taking care of them when we travel for a few years and always does a fantastic job! We highly recommend her to look after your home and pets!”
“I highly recommend Sydni. She was always on time, communicative and always sent pictures. If she wasn’t sure about something she always checked in with me first. Sydni makes you feel at ease and confident that your dog will be fully taken care of in your absence!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 10, starting with my own Maltese, Snowball, who I’ve raised since he was a puppy. From walks to bath time to snuggles, I’ve been hands on every step of the way with the support of my family. Over the years, neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me with their pups too, knowing I treat every dog like my own. I’m attentive, patient, and happy to care for senior dogs, small breeds, and playful pups alike. I work a part-time job at my college on Wednesdays, but I’m available to sit any other day of the week! I have lots of time to give your pup attention, playtime, and outdoor walks. I have a fenced yard and a sweet older dog named Snowball who gets along well with dogs, cats, and children. At my home, I make sure pets are fed on time, have fresh water, and get plenty of affection and attention. I love keeping their routines consistent and providing a calm and safe space. If I’m caring for pets in your home, I will follow your instructions closely to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for.
About: Just like cats, I’ve had several dogs, big or small. I’ve helped at my local shelter, feeding the dogs their medication, and spending long hours understanding them. I’m currently unemployed, I’ll have all day to tend to your pups/kitties! I’m currently studying virtually, so I can always prioritize them above all. I have a large yard and several parks in my vicinity/nature trail. I have a 2500 sq ft floor, meaning I have plenty of room for a fuzzy friend.
“Trish was very punctual for the meet and greet as well as the walks . She was very communicative. We have been trying to find a walker that worked well with Marlin and Trish is it ! We loved all the pictures.”
“What a great first time experience on Rover with Astrid! She was friendly, communicative and thoughtful; her love for animals really showed. Thank you for taking care of our Mellow!”
“Marina continues to be an excellent care taker of Suri She is always on time, communicates well, and is pleasant to work with. I highly recommend her especially if you have separation anxiety like me. Your dog is in great hands!”
About: I really like animals. I have experience in pet care for more than a year. Everything your pet needs in care. I can provide it with an environment of peace and love. They fit very well the care of my pet I have my schedules of my things I am more to the care of the pet because I work from home The care of the pet is based on the routine that each client has their food, their out, daily 2 times or three times a day depends on the macosta.
“I love how conscientious Matilda is with all of our requests and providing feedback to us during her visits. My cat, Milo, is warming up to her and has even spent time on her lap (for my Scardy Cat - that is amazing). I hope to continue to use her during our travels.”
About: I grew up surrounded by dogs and bring over five years of dedicated walking and sitting experience to the table. As a distance runner who loves training for races, I am a fantastic match for high-energy breeds that need to burn off steam with long, active routes. I am highly reliable, communicative, and dedicated to keeping your pup safe, exercised, and happy! I work a hybrid 9-5 job, but I am remote on Mondays and Fridays, and my hours are very flexible, so most days I don't leave for the office until 9:30 or I come home early around 3:30! I love taking my dogs out on walks in the morning when it is nice and cool outside to avoid the heat, as well as letting them out to play with me in the backyard so that they can stretch their legs. I love to give them extra pets and treats as a small reward for their physical activities.
“Jane was great!! Serena usually hides when a stranger comes in. But Serena did great!! Great feedback from Jane. And pictures!! As a nervous fur mom, Jane will be taking care of my fur baby for a week next month. I wouldn’t trust anyone else!!!!”
“Big thanks to Natalia and Edward for taking such amazing care of our two cats! They were very attentive and communicative and made sure everything went smooth while we were away. I could tell my cats were happy and well-loved, which says a lot of the care Natalia and Edward provided. I really appreciated the updates—they kept me totally at ease. I am particularly thankful for the daily pictures and for flagging that one of the automatic feeders wasn't working properly. Reach out to them if you’re looking for trustworthy pet sitters.”
“Maria was so wonderful with our cat Lucy. Lucy is a bit shy but I could tell from the pictures and videos Maria sent me daily that Lucy was comfortable and having a a great time with Maria’s company. Maria was very reliable and even showed up for us on Thanksgiving Day. She sent me a report every day to let me know how the visit went and how Lucy was doing. We hate leaving our Lucy alone for a few days but it was a great comfort to know she was taken such great care of by Maria while my daughter had to go out of town. I will definitely use Maria again if we need a pet sitter in the future and I’m so grateful for her wonderful care of our sweet Lucy.”
“Sarah has watched my cats a few times now and every time I come home to happy, well loved and well tended cats. She is so kind and loving with them! I can't recommend her highly enough!”
“Jason was kind and gentle with my two old dogs. i would definitely recommend him and use him again too. As a bonus he took beautiful pictures oh my old black dog.”
“I needed a dog walker somewhat last minute (with 2 days’ notice), and Andrea answered my request super promptly! She even came out for a meet and greet the same day, which made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog in her care. Andrea sent lots of adorable photos of my pup Levi on his walk. She also kept an eye on him so he wouldn’t itch his incision site, since he’d been neutered about 2 weeks prior. Andrea did a superb job watching my high energy dog. I appreciated her love of herders, and would 100% book her again!”
About: Hi! I’m Bella Mason! I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, grew up surrounded by animals, and even started my own pet-sitting business back home, which did really well! I’ve always had a huge love for animals and strive to be a reliable sitter who makes every pet feel like family. I know how hard it can be to leave your fur babies and just want someone you can trust to take the best care of them! I have experience with all types of animals, from dogs + cats, to goats, chickens, and hedgehogs. I am a college student at the University of Maryland. I would prefer not to schedule anything on Wednesdays, because that is my late night of classes, but all other days I am able to drop in before and after my classes. I unfortunately cannot petsit in my apartment, but I love to ask my client's to provide me "instructions" with every detail possible. I like to do meet-in-greets with animals/clients to ensure it is a good fit. I will follow instructions closely and precisely to ensure their routine stays in-tack.
About: As an active and experienced dog lover, I provide personalized care, plenty of exercise, and attention to detail. Ensuring a happy, loved and safe fury friend. As a personal instructor my schedule is active and flexible allowing me to seamlessly incorporate pet care. I enjoy morning and evening walks providing dogs with the exercise and attention they need. My fitness focused lifestyle ensures pets stay happy, healthy and well-cared for. I provide attentive care for pets, whether in my home or my clients' homes. When caring for pets in clients' home I follow their routines closely, for consistency and familiarity. In my home I create a safe and comfortable environment with plenty of play time, exercise and cuddles. I focus on each pets needs individually, from feeding walks and special care to make them feel loved and secure.
“Mary went above and beyond for caring for my three cats. I had booked four visits for my cats. Unfortunately, there was a serious issue in my apartment building during that time. Residents and their pets needed to be evacuated. Mary ended up having to bring my cats to a boarding facility. She put them all in their crates, walked up and down eight flights of stairs in my building, put them in her car, drove them, and then admitted them to the chosen boarding facility. Through it all, Mary maintained constant communication and care regarding the well being of my cats. I would highly recommend Mary as a petsitter for your pets!! I don't know what I would have done without her help. Thank you, again, Mary!! 💗💗💗”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hillandale
Rachel has a confident, calm and caring approach to pet care. She is professional, on time and flexible with the needs of each of the dogs and cat (and me!) Rachel took the time to understand each of their personalities and bonded with them, and provided fantastic communication and feed back during the entire booking period.
Kim was super professional and took great care of our two cats. She was organized, communicative, and spent plenty of time playing with our cats during her daily visits. We got lots of great pictures and detailed updates too! I’d definitely recommend Kim to others.
We had a great experience with Jane! She was reliable, attentive, and took wonderful care of our Buddy cat. I especially appreciated that she made sure she actually saw our cat before leaving each visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It was clear she genuinely cared about making sure everything was okay. We felt very comfortable knowing our cat was in good hands and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Marika checked in on our two cats while we were on vacation. She was thorough in her communications, took great pictures, and gave our cats excellent care. They were peaceful and calm when we got home, a sure sign that they were happy while we were gone. Were very grateful!
Baylin was great, Rolo is a very anxious and took some time to warm up to Baylin, Baylinn was calm and patient and Rolo eventually warmed up to him and the drop in went well, Roscoe loved Baylin and was happy to be pet the whole time, we will definitely be using Baylin again.
Trish does the hero job of locating all the balls that my girl plays with and sometimes “forgets” to bring back. She’ll also do sweet things like crumble up and cookie treat and toss it in L’s box 📦 . Our dog loves fetch and cardboard. 🤷♀️ We are very happy with Trish time. 🙌🏽
Madeleine was an awesome drop-in pet sitter for my parrot! She tried very hard to befriend my scared parrot, and left her nuts as treats. Communication was awesome, with Madeleine sending daily pictures and special collages she had created. I’ll definitely use her again.
Nichole took care of my two cats (and my plant) while I was gone for two days. One of my cats is anxious but he warmed up to her, much to my surprise (he usually hides when guests are over). She was also very gracious and accommodating when my itinerary changed at the last minute. I highly recommend her as a cat sitter and would work with her again.

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.
