“Laura has been phenomenal in taking care of our dog. We work long hours so she comes to give a potty break and is always so attentive to her needs and sends lots of photos. Highly recommend!”
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
“Jeanette was absolutely wonderful! She was very easy to communicate with and went well beyond than just taking care of our pets. This was my fist time hiring a pet sitter and I definitely made the right choice trusting Jeanette with my home and pets. I will definitely hire her again when away on vacation. Highly satisfied and highly recommend!”
“Sarah was amazing! She sent lots of pictures which I loved and I could tell our animals felt safe and comfortable with her. It put me at ease knowing someone trustworthy was hanging out with our babies! We will definitely book Sarah again :)”
“Greg is a superstore. Great guy. Loves animals. And he even got my dog to like him and my dog doesn’t like ANYBODY… Except me, and now Greg. I’m sure Woody is looking forward to the next time and we are looking forward to the next time when we have to trust somebody with our 16-year-old four leggedroommate!”
“This is the second booking that I’ve had with Kari and will continue to book if she’s available. She’s fantastic, has great communication and is proactive. I refer to her as Aunt Kari to the cats. ♥️”
“We always hope Nicole is available when we need a sitter. She is always so sweet and patient with our shy kitties and helps with our TNR cats that we feed too.”
“Arlayna is an excellent cat sitter! Our cat Kyle can be wildly energetic and playful and she does an incredible job of taking care of him & getting his energy out. She’s also very reliable, great communicator, and detail oriented with her updates.”
“We really appreciate Huntter always taking such amazing care of our kitties and our house! He's so excellent at all the details! I've left so many 5 star reviews for him already, but I'll say it again: HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life. I’ve also been trained at Mckamey and know how to lovingly care for your fur baby! I’m currently working some from home but have a lot of free time :) I can come with not much notice and will love cuddle your fur friend or keep them entertained if they don’t like to be snuggled! You can trust me in or outside of your home! Your pet will be my first priority and I’m happy yo do walks and frequently take outside
“I asked Sara to help me socialize my adopted, shelter dog. So, instead of a typical drop in, I was present for the visit. Sara was very patient and friendly with my dog and she knew exactly how to interact with her (get down low, avoid eye contact, continously give her treats, and let my dog approach her while telling her what a good girl she is). I was so relieved that I didnt have to explain all of that to her. My dog is so loving and affectionate but is super slow to trust people, but she was taking treats out of Sara's hand immediately. I have asked her to come back, so my dog can get to know the same person before introducing her to more people. I am confident that her and my dog will become great friends.”
“I really enjoyed working with JaNiya this past week as she performed drop in visits for our cat, Mae-C. Mae-C has a new friend now and the two of them played together and enjoyed an hour long visit each day interacting with treats, games, grooming and music. JaNiya also helped with a few light chores around the house like checking the mail and watering the plants. She was also very accommodating and our cat just loves her. We have two more trips before the end of the year and we will definitely check her availability. JaNiya, we really appreciate you. Thanks so much.”
“Rachel did a wonderful job taking care of our cat and keeping us updated while we were out of town! She is very sweet and makes leaving your fur babies behind a little easier. Highly recommend!”
“Gretchen was the best sitter I have ever had on Rover! She dropped in on my high energy lab mix Finn while I was traveling for a few days. She sent great updates and is a wonderful photographer! She also was very willing to do all the funny little detailed things that Finn needs. I will definitely be using her again!!!!”
About: Hi, I'm Carley or most know me as Angelina! I have been caring for furry fiends all my life! I have had a several goldens, yorkies, and my current little guy is a german short haired pointer! I absolutely love getting to play, walk, or snuggle with any pet of any size! I definitely believe the saying that a dog is a mans best friend and believe that we should treat our animals as such.I as a fellow dog mom understand how important it is to have someone you can trust watching a member of your family. I believe spending just a few hours with an pet (or human, in their case) can change the whole mood for the day. I am fairly flexible and willing to work with you to make sure your family member is cared for! From walking and check ins, to pet sitting, or even spending your day out with your four legged friend, I know your little friend will be loved and happy in my care. I feel comfortable feeding, playing with, walking, and even taking your pets on outings! My work schedule is a set one, so I can stop by before work, during my lunch break, or after work and anytime during the weekends. If you need something a little bit different let me know and I am happy to accommodate your needs! I have a huge yard that all dogs love to run in and I live in a private neighborhood that is perfect for walking in.
“Kathryn was so amazing to our dogs! We have two pups who were nervous around strangers but she did such a good job making them feel comfortable around her! She helped us with our last minute drop in visit and was best friends with both of them after 20 minutes!”
“Keira is doing drop-ins for us and is building a good relationship with our rescue. She responds quickly to any messages. She is great at making sure any instructions I leave are done. She takes cute pictures during the visit too! We plan to have her sit for us when vacation time comes.”
About: Fur parents, vets, and animal welfare organizations can attest to my ability to care for any breed or size of dog. I have enjoyed caring for dogs for over 15 years now. I am dedicated to a creature's well being. I grew up with several dog breeds around me. I have taken dogs on light walks, hiking, on a beach, in the park, or I have just tossed the ball outside each day. In my childhood, I volunteered with a local zoo and taught other kids about wildlife. I also trained golden retrievers and learned from local vets. My life has always been full of creature love, dogs, cats, snakes, lizards, rabbits, birds, monkeys, tigers, and ground hogs. I truly love all animals. I work remotely and so have the flexibility to adapt my daily schedule to your fur baby’s to make every day supportive, loving, and fun! I live in a community that loves pets so there’s always a lovely outdoor spot to go on a walk in as well as health and well being resources available.

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.
