“Denise was so easy to work with and fit me in last minute. My dog really took to her and she doesn’t usually warm up very quickly. I would definitely recommend and use her again in the future”
“Alec is easily one of the best sitters on this app. He is caring, considerate and timely at all times. Very responsive and trustworthy. I will continue to go to him knowing my dog will be in good hands.”
“Cindy was great with our cats. Came in on time for the visits, we had very good communication - received updates, pictures and follow up texts. We would highly recommend her and we'll definitely ask her to take care of our cats again.”
About: I have loved and taken care of dogs all my life. I’ve had dogs from puppies to seniors and understand how to care to all their needs. Along with that I take the time to really get to know each dog on their own and establish a connection so that each party is happy. I currently work a full time job. However I work from home so that allows me to be flexible with my time and always there to attend to the dogs. I have a fenced in yard and a dog of my own to give your fur baby’s company. The dogs can free roam around the house but I’ll always make sure I can see them. If preferred to be caged that is also possible.
“Absolutely AMAZING! Most of the time she stayed with our dogs longer than the designated time frame and took extremely good care of them. She left detailed notes and pictures EACH and every visit!!!! It was so nice to know my dogs were in great care while we were away on vacation.”
About: I have been watching family, friends and neighbors dogs for over 10 years. I have watched dogs a few weeks old all the way to senior age. I have also taken care of many different breeds of dogs and all different sizes. I have taken care of terroirs that weigh 3 pounds all the way up to Labs weighing over 100 pounds. No dog is too big or small! I am more than comfortable feeding dogs, walks, play time, administering medication, and of course treats and cuddles! I work full time remotely so I can take my work on the go! I am available any time of day, morning, afternoon and evenings! Since I work remotely, I am home most of the day! I have a fenced in back yard. I have also dog sat for families without a fenced in backyard and have no problem playing outside on a leash or if your dog in trained to stay in the yard. I have two cats who keep to themselves, but they have interacted with dogs before with no issue.
“Emma was great! She sent great updates, always letting me know when she was starting her visit and then pictures and updates for how her visit went. Blaze enjoyed his time with her, and I came home to a happy, cared for cat. I would absolutely recommend Emma to anyone needing a sitter!”
“Our 3 kitties absolutely love Ja! She's a true lover of animals and understands how hard it is to leave our babies at home when we leave. She provides stellar communication with photos, has very good attention to detail, asks questions, and spends real quality time with the kitties. We feel incredibly at ease when Ja is looking after our little pack!”
About: I’ve always been my friends’ and family’s go to pet sitter. When I was 10 I got my first puppy that I raised and trained and we grew up together. I love going for walks and playing ball. I don’t have any pets of my own at this time so your pet will get all my love and attention! I’m available all weekend. During the week I’m home on Mondays and Fridays. On Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, I’m available after 5:30pm for drop ins or walks. I have a large open spaced playroom that opens up to a mostly fenced yard. There’s a park very close so going outside to play or going on a walk is always welcome.
“Alyssa is a fantastic Rover sitter! She has been my primary sitter for about a month now and she is very reliable and has been able to accommodate last minute changes to my work schedule. She is respectful and friendly, and communicates timely and thoroughly via the app. Alyssa is so good with my 5-year old Malinois rescue and I definitely recommend her services and plan to continue to work with her.”
About: Growing up I wanted a pet so badly but unfortunately, I had a parent that was allergic to cats and fur. I spent years taking care of all the neighbors pets of any size breed or age eventually when I was in the eighth grade my parents got a hyper allergenic dog. I loved her so much and spent so much time with her and taking care of her. Unfortunately, I lost her unexpectedly in 2024 but since then I become a first time cat owner, and I am loving it. I love animals and I love taking care of pets. I hope to connect with you to discuss how best to take care of your pets so that you know they’re getting the best care. During the weekend I have full availability to take care of your pets. During the week, I have a flexible, work schedule with an option of working from home two days a week. Thursday specifically are a more difficult day for me to get out of the office, but my flexible schedule allows me to take the time to take care of your pets. I like a balance of active engagement and rest. I am an active person that loves to be outside and can keep up with the most energetic pets. I am also a bookworm and know the joys of sitting on the couch, reading a book with a snoozing pet.
“My two shy kitties obviously loved Amanda based on the pictures of them playing! One of them had to get medicine and had to be encouraged to eat and Amanda was successful every day! She seems very knowledgeable about cats. I appreciated her daily photos of the cats (and the empty food bowl!). She was always on time and did a great job. She was also really helpful and responsive about a small snag with Rover’s charges. I would definitely book again with Amanda!”

He has a calm temperament, follows commands well, and gets along great with other dogs and people. I was the primary caretaker for my family dog for 3 years, including potty training him and teaching him multiple tricks. Caring for him gave me hands-on experience with routines, walks, play, and making sure pets feel comfortable and well cared for.

When taking care of pet in clients home or mine I follow their routines feed accordingly and I love to provide plenty of exercise, walking, and play time and any updates throughout the day

“We cannot thank Amber enough for helping out with our pets while we were away. We have a very nervous puppy so we didn’t want to board him outside our home. Amber came over every day to let them out and feed them. She took our pups on walks and even our shy kitty started creating her at the door when she arrived. We will definitely be using Amber again since she’s so patient and kind to our pets!”

About: I have shared my life and home with dogs for as long as I can remember, and today, I am the proud parent of two rescue dogs of my own. Managing a multi-dog household has given me firsthand experience in balancing different personalities, handling various energy levels, and maintaining consistent daily routines. Over the years, I have translated this lifelong passion into reliable pet sitting for multiple families who trust me to provide the highest level of care for their pets. When your pet is with me, you can expect strict adherence to their specific feeding, medication, and exercise schedules. I pride myself on being detail-oriented and organized, ensuring your home and pets are safe and well-managed. I also prioritize proactive communication, so you can look forward to regular, high-quality updates and photos that offer total peace of mind while you are away. I am currently going to school for my Master's Degree in Information Technology while also working full-time remotely. My current work schedule is Tuesdays-Fridays 8 AM to 6 PM EST. Being a remote worker and student gives me plenty of time to be able to give the exceptional care your pet deserves. I believe that pets aren't just animals—they are full members of the family, and I treat every guest at my client's home with the exact same love, respect, and high standard of care that I give my own two dogs. My primary goal is to maintain the comfort of their familiar routines so they feel safe, secure, and completely at ease. When caring for pets in your home, I respect your space as much as I respect your pet, ensuring everything remains clean, secure, and exactly how you left it while sticking strictly to your established household rules. I focus on providing plenty of personalized attention, structured playtime, and the peace of mind that comes from knowing your family member is in organized, capable, and loving hands.

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.
