“Emmerson was wonderful performing drop-in visits for my two kitties! She was always timely and communicated very well, which I appreciate. Every day she’d send pictures and update me on how the girls were doing. I felt like my cats were well cared for with Emmerson, and I would rebook with her again!”
“We are so thankful for Amanda! She watches our sweet almost 1 year old kitten every time we go out of town! Our kitten who is shy at first, always warms up to her and enjoys cuddling with her. She is organized and always keeps us updated while she is away! Thank you, Amanda!!!”
About: My whole life i’ve owned and cared for pets. From all ages and breeds, I have exceptional experience! I’m the type of person who treats pets as if they were babies! Whether it be laying in bed with me or playing outside, I truly love it all. I’m a part time graduate student so I am home for most of my week! I’m happy to take care of fur babies any day and any time of the week! I am a two minute walk from a dog park that I love to take pets to play and even bathe! I don’t have any children so my focus will be on them😊. I’ve crate trained and also happily invited pets to lay with me on the couch and bed😋
“Mia is great. She immediately bonded with Fancy and her services were top notch. She is very prompt arriving each day when we asked. She took care of Fancy’s food and water each day. When I had to stay away longer she gladly took the extra day and told me how to add it to my Rover order. She communicated with us each day with texts and photos. She immediately replied to any questions we had. We would strongly recommend Mia for your pet.”
“Super sweet and treated my pets like they were her own! Came to some very content little ladies. Tessie has fantastic communication and handled their meds professionally as well. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
About: What sets me apart is that I’m a pet owner myself and understand how much our pets mean to us. I have two dogs of my own, so I know firsthand that pets are family and deserve to feel safe, loved, and comfortable when their owners are away. I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m comfortable with everything from energetic playtime and walks to giving senior dogs extra patience, attention, and care. I’m also happy to follow feeding schedules, potty routines, medication instructions, and any special instructions your pet may need. I’m dependable, patient, attentive, and genuinely love spending time with animals. My goal is to care for your pets the same way I would want someone to care for mine—with lots of love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! 🐾❤️ I currently work part-time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to spend quality time with your pets. I’m available for boarding on weekends and can provide care on weekdays after 6 PM. I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine and make sure they receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship while you’re away. I’m very detail-oriented and take pride in keeping a clean, safe, and comfortable environment. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision.
“Christen was so helpful and patient with us even when our house alarm gave her trouble. She kept us updated with photos each day and our cats were not afraid of her. That’s saying a lot with our oldest cat. We would definitely recommend her!”
“Daylen was very accommodating with meeting before hand with my crazy schedule! She communicated each visit with lots of details and spent time with each of my pets individually! She sent lots of pictures each day and kept me very updated! Would definitely recommend!”
“We can’t say enough about how amazing Lisa is. Our pups love her. We had the horrifying experience of our dogs escaping during our vacation and she saved the day without hesitation. Our family is forever grateful. Highest of high praises. We will be booking her again.”
“Porsha is hands down the BEST Rover sitter we have ever hired! She was not only communicative while we were out, she went above and beyond her duties as a sitter. She made sure our trash can was brought in, mail checked daily and even made sure my pet’s mess was swept away before we made it home. I hope she’s available any time we are out of town. I know my fur baby is in the best hands when I’m gone.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for my family for the past three years. I walk them, feed them, let them out to potty and I play with them. I also have a dog of my own. Her name is Isabella who is like a child to my husband and I. I have been around dogs my whole life. I am available on weekends and also some days during the week after 5 p.m.. I would walk, feed, play and give your pup my undivided attention. When I go to your home to walk your dog I would make sure your dog has his or her collar and leash on, and I will also feed and give water to your pup based on your feeding instructions. If your dog is kenneled I would make sure he or she is secured in the kennel.
“Terrie was awesome. One of my dogs is very anxious around new people but she took to Terrie during our meet and greet. I was completely comfortable leaving them in her and her family's care. We came home to very happy dogs, they loved all the attention they received from her and her son! We will definitely be using her again”
“Eric took great care of our dog while we were away. He was very respectful of our home, as this was our first time using Rover. Our pet is a senior dog who can be grumpy at times, but he and Eric became besties over the course of his drop-in visits. I would definitely choose Eric again if we need this service again. Thanks again, Eric!”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats most my life, excepted when I was traveling for work. I am uniquely aware of the stress of separation. I can care for your home and/or your pets. Giving you daily updates and peace of mind while you’re away. I am retired with plenty of time to care for your home and/or pets. I will work with you to create a schedule that works best for your situation. I will care for your home and/or pets, staying over night, if required. I do not offer boarding. I am reliable, and for you peace of mind, insured.
About: I have cared for dogs of all sizes and breeds since I can remember. I grew up with at least 3-4 dogs in my household at all times, volunteered at the local animal shelter to help take care of the overflow of dogs, fostered a litter of puppies, and of course the occasional dog sitting for a neighbor or family friend. I am currently working 2 part time jobs at the moment, but they usually include short days and hours. I am mostly available from mid afternoon to nighttime on any given day, especially weekends! Schedule is subject to change weekly. I have a big kennel in my home if it’s ever needed. I also have plenty of toys, treats, and other equipment like poop bags, leashes, or harnesses.
“She was amazing and helped us out last minute with our pups! She even offered to come meet them the day before, which we really appreciated. She kept us updated the entire time and made us feel completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”

Every day she’d send pictures and update me on how the girls were doing. I felt like my cats were well cared for with Emmerson, and I would rebook with her again!
Amanda was the best. Came meet Meeko. Took notes and made sure she felt prepared for her visit with him. He takes daily meds and she kept me updated. Took pictures and spent an hour hanging out with Meeks to help with his anxiety. Definitely booking Amanda moving forward.
The photos and communication we receive are top notch. Porsha takes better pictures than we do of our dogs and more of them. Both dogs are perched at the door in the morning. I think waiting for her to get here. She is truly part of the family.! if anyone reading this review has had second thoughts about having someone to care for your dog please do not hesitate. It is life-changing to be able to find someone as fantastic as Porsha!
Kyler was not only incredibly sweet but she was wonderful with our pup on our weekend getaway. She sent us so many photos reassuring us that he was well taken care of and happy. It gave us absolute peace of mind. We will definitely be using her services 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.
