“Frida was great! She watched our cats for over a week, they tend to be shy but warmed up to her and let her pet and play with them by the end. We appreciated the updates and photos she shared as well :)”
“We are so incredibly grateful for the amazing care our cat received while we were away in India for an entire month. From day one, she went above and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable, safe, and loved. She kept us updated with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind being so far away. Our cat can be a bit sensitive, but she was patient, gentle, and truly treated her like her own. Coming home to a happy, relaxed cat was the best feeling and a true testament to the wonderful care she provided. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would highly, highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and dependable. Thank you for everything you made our long trip so much easier knowing our fur baby was in such loving hands 🐾💖”
“Xingcheng was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, communication was prompt, professional, and reassuring. She took wonderful care of my dog and made sure I was updated with photos and messages, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I highly recommend Xingcheng to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy pet sitter. I would absolutely book with her again without hesitation.”
“Responsible and very responsive sitter! I appreciate Hannah's attention to detail. She was available for a last minute request with this booking and was also able to come for an additional visit so I could extend my vacation. Thank you!!”
“Holly is very responsible, cat loving, and knowing person. She complied with a schedule. Our two cats accepted her from day one. We recommend Holly, and will call her in the future.”

You tell me what they need or like!

About: I’ve cared and loved dogs of various backgrounds. In my experience, I’ve successfully integrated a reactive dog with others, while maintaining a loving environment. I’ll make sure your pet gets the enrichment they need to fulfill a life an animal deserves (love and fun) ! I’m currently working full time from Mon-Friday from 9-6PM and mostly free on weekends. But know that after work feeling of wanting to just hangout, focus on hobbies, or go out to eat. That’s where I come in! I’d be happy to help drop in and make sure your pet gets the love and proper care they need so that you can have time for yourselves! :) I’m open to many services of care, whether that’d be taking your beloved pet outside to receive the enrichment they need, OR will happily take care of your pup and take the time they need to train at home.
“Courtney was great with our cats! This is the first time we've returned from a trip and they weren't mad at us — I think because they liked Courtney so much. It was such a relief to get the pictures and see how happy they looked. We also had a bit of a curveball when one of the cats was diagnosed with an ear infection and needed meds. But that didn't deter Courtney, she even spent extra time with him so he would feel comfortable and not just associate her with the ear drops.”

We’ve booked with Brittany a bunch of times now and she always does an excellent job with our pets! She updated us throughout the whole time we were away and we knew our crew was well taken care of! She’s super personable, punctual, and great with our pets!! We will definitely book again and recommend her to anyone!
Haley was absolutely wonderful with our dogs! From the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable and knew they were in great hands. She was caring, attentive, responsible, and treated our dogs like they were her own. She kept us updated and made sure our dogs were happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Haley was there taking care of them. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dogs. We highly recommend Haley to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, loving, and dependable. We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future! ❤️🐾⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Viral was amazing with our pups! She was so attentive and considerate. Her communication was outstanding, even asking to purchase treats if we didn’t have any at our house. She sent daily pictures, which my children absolutely loved! I would highly recommend her to anyone and can’t wait to use her in the future!
Hannah was extremely responsive and caring towards my cat! I had been worried about my cat since I had recently traveled with her and wasn’t sure how she was going to adjust but Hannah was very communicative and often gave detailed summaries of her visits and lots of photos. I really appreciated it as an anxious pet owner and would recommend Hannah to anyone!
Thank you so much for taking great care of our three Golden Retrievers! We really appreciate you giving them a bathroom break and making sure they had fresh water. They have a lot of energy, so it means a lot that you handled them so well and made sure they got some time outside. It’s great knowing they were in good hands!
So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.

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 .

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.
