“Meg is awesome! She watched my two kitties for a week and went above and beyond the expectations. She was super responsive and sent daily pics/updates, which was so great. I highly recommend her for watching your furry loved ones!”
“I recently had the pleasure of having Cheyenne cat sit my two beloved cats, and I couldn’t be happier with her service. Cheyenne was attentive, caring and insured my cats were comfortable and well taken care of. Her reliability and dedication truly made a difference and I returned home to two very happy cats. I highly recommend Cheyenne to anyone in need of a trustworthy and caring cat sitter. She is a true professional and a wonderful person who clearly loves what she does. My cats and I are grateful for her excellent care and will definitely be requesting her services again in the future if need be. Using the service for the first time, there were a lot of exceptional candidates to cat sit, but I am very happy with my decision to hire Cheyenne’s services, and you would be too. Thank you Cheyenne!”
About: I have taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember! Growing up we had Great Danes, bulldogs, Dalmatians, and a wiener dog! Other family members and neighbors have relied on me to feed, bathe, walk, and care for their beloved fur babies throughout my life! We also currently have 2 cats that I will occasionally care for while my brother is out of town. I work 12 hour shifts as a nurse, so I have 4/7 days free to care for your fur babies! I can take your dog on a walk, feed them, let them out potty, etc. just let me know how I can help! I recently moved to Green Bay for work and live in an apartment that does not allow animals; however I am more than willing to travel to your home to care for your fur baby!
“Carly is great! She did drop in visits with my two cats while I was out of town for 4 days. She sent me a lot of pictures and videos during her visits. The kitties were so happy when I returned home and I felt great about letting them stay in their own home!”
“We booked Jacob with a short notice. Great first impression during the meet-and-greet and took great care of our dogs. House looks good when we returned and dogs are well taken care of. Highly recommend, will definitely book again in the future.”
“Allison has been our rover of choice for over a year. She is so caring and trustworthy. She is always on time and very responsive. She has had to give our dog medicine from time to time and we have never had an issue. We feel confident anytime we leave with her taking care of our fur children.”
About: I have 2 dogs myself, springer spaniels who are full of personality and energy. My pet sitting experience has been going on for almost more than 6 years now. On many accounts I have stayed for a week at a time to dog sit. I have watched all kinds of dogs from a French Bulldog to a Bernese mountain dog. I love nothing more than to spend time with dogs whether it’s walking them or just hanging out with them! I live in Appleton in the summer and winter for winter break, and in the fall and spring I live in De Pere! I am a sophomore at St. Norbert College and I am on the women's soccer team. On M/W/F I have classes from 9-1, on T/Th I have class from 8-11:30. I can definitely work around those times!! My dogs are home are extremely spoiled, so that carries over to whichever dog I get to pet sit. Little things like making sure they are walked/exercised everyday, water is filled, and a healthy amount of treats :)

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hobart choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.
