“Sky was a thoughtful and consistent communicator, wrote detailed notes about my cats’ attitudes and actions, and flexibly handled a surprise visit from the apartment maintenance team. 10/10 pet sitter! I felt very comfortable with her in my home and taking care of my pets. I hope she is available on my next trip!”
“V is quickly becoming a part of our family and we love her so much. I feel very comforted to know that my dog is being checked on by her when I’m away for work. 5 stars, 10/10, A++ would recommend!”
About: I'm a positive reinforcement–based dog trainer. If you're working on training with your dog, I'm happy to reinforce those skills while you're away to help maintain the progress you've made. I'm comfortable with dogs of all ages, as well as dogs that may need a little extra patience or understanding. Every dog is different, and I think their care should reflect that. I'll tailor each visit to your dog's personality, routine, and needs. I have a flexible daytime schedule, which makes it easy to fit in walks and drop-in visits throughout the day. I'm usually able to accommodate a variety of times for either one-time visits or something more regular. My goal is to stick to your dog's normal schedule and routines as closely as possible. Just let me know what that looks like, and I'll make it happen. When I'm in your home, I follow the Scout motto: "Leave it better than you found it." I'll treat your home with the same care and respect I'd want someone to show mine.

“Haley was a lifesaver and jumped right in after I had another sitter fall through. One of my very shy kitties actually let Haley pet her and get close to her. It seems like my kitties really liked her and were doing so well when I returned home from my trip.”
“Andrea and her team did a great job looking after my two cats (and temperamental sunflowers) this past weekend. It's good to know that she's in the neighborhood and available on Rover. I would 100% book Andrea again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable cat/pet sitter.”
“I can't say enough good things about Lindsay! She cared for my dogs (one is a puppy) on Saturday while we attended a wedding, and her understanding, thoroughness, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I was able to fully enjoy the evening without a single worry about my furry children. Thank you, Lindsay for being amazing! We'll definitely be booking again! :)”
About: I’ve had animals all my life. I’ve taken care of my animals at home alone for weeks at a time. I’ve also walked my neighbors dogs a few times if they couldn’t make it home on time to do it themselves I take my dog out every day 4-5 times a day. I feed my dog and cat everyday and make sure they always have water. I care for pets in the best way possible for them. I make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I make sure they’re very well taken care of.
About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs since I was nine years old, when my family began fostering animals. Growing up, I took an active role in their daily care, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure each animal felt comfortable and loved. These experiences taught me how to adapt to pets with different personalities, routines, and energy levels. I also grew up with an energetic Australian Shepherd who was part of my family for 13 years, so I’m especially comfortable with active breeds that need plenty of exercise and attention! Since high school, I’ve also regularly walked and cared for dogs belonging to family and friends. I’m a very active person who loves spending time outdoors, and I’d be happy to take your dog on anything from a relaxed neighborhood stroll to a longer, energetic walk or run, depending on their needs. Whether your pet loves exploring outside, playing fetch, or relaxing with some extra attention, I’ll make sure they receive thoughtful, dependable care and plenty of affection! I currently work part-time as a medical assistant, which gives me the flexibility to dedicate my days off to pet care. I love staying active and spending time outdoors, so dog walking fits naturally into my routine! Whether it’s a leisurely neighborhood walk or a longer run for a high-energy pup, I’m excited to spend my free time doing something I enjoy while making sure your pets get plenty of exercise, attention, and care. I understand that every pet has their own personality, needs, and routine, so I always prioritize following their owner’s instructions to keep them comfortable and happy. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to maintain their usual feeding schedules, provide fresh water, and give them plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. I’m comfortable with dogs of all energy levels and love tailoring walks to their needs. I also understand the importance of respecting your home and keeping you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. Above all, I treat every animal with the same patience, attention, and love I’ve given my own pets over the years!
About: I provide reliable, personalized care tailored to each pet’s routine. I have experience with puppies who need structure and senior pets who need patience and gentle care. I follow detailed instructions closely, including meds and feeding schedules. What sets me apart is the attention and time I give, pets aren’t just checked on, they’re cared for and kept comfortable while you’re away. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, allowing me to stay consistent with walks, check-ins, and overnight stays. I plan my schedule around each pet’s needs, whether that’s morning walks, midday visits, or evening care. Because I prioritize time and flexibility, I’m able to give pets reliable attention and keep their routines steady and stress free while you’re away. I currently offer care in my client’s home only, not boarding in my own home. This allows pets to stay comfortable in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. For walks and check-ins, I make sure pets get exercise, attention, and any care they need like feeding or medications. For overnight stays, I provide consistent companionship, follow their usual schedule, and keep their space clean and calm. I always stick closely to owner instructions and give updates so you know your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Angelique and her husband are excellent sitters! We have 6 cavaliers and they are very sweet to them. I always get pictures and updates of my kids. I highly recommend them to everyone! :)”
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life: dogs, cats, lizards, fish, etc. Sadly, I found out as an adult that I am allergic to cats. It just means I get to love on dogs even more! I am a suburban single gal who works full time and is looking for a joyful way to spend my off hours! I’m hoping taking care of your loved one(s) brings us both the comfort and peace it can! I am more than happy to care for your animals in their own home to make sure it is an easy process for all. I can provide feedings and walks/exercise and of course, a lot of love! Happy to stay at your house overnight as well.
“Lucinda is the best of the best! My kitty immediately fell in love with her. We will absolutely be checking her availability first before anyone else. Thank you so much for your care and attention. She really is as great as everyone says!”
About: We honor the spaces of pets and allow them the time to become comfortable. We always assure they feel safe, and know we are a guest in their space or they are an honored guest in our family home. We love spending time with animals and have been fortunate to provide care to friends animals overnight and for daily care. My husband and I work full-time, on opposite schedules. We are available evenings during the week and weekends. During the week, we are more than happy to board pets as needed. I work from home, and he works only a few days a week. We have a fenced yard and we live in a dog lover neighborhood. We take our friends dogs on walks often, as needed. We have cared for family and friends dogs overnight and they all enjoyed their time at our home. We tend to spoil pets (based on parents discretion of course) while they are with us. Our home is their home, and we never want a pet to feel unsafe or unhappy while spending time with our family. Our family will care for them like our own.
About: I grew up having a dog in the house so I know what it’s like to care for one, and the responsibilities that come with it. I believe dogs are like humans meaning they need the same love and attention that we do. While your dog is in my care we will go on walks, I’ll play with them, and take care of all its basic needs as well as providing pictures and videos to keep you updated. One of my special skills is that I am very patient with animals. I know it’s hard to trust a stranger with your fur baby but I am very trustworthy and caring and will treat your dog as if it was my own. Thank you very much!
“I've hired Stacey twice for drop-in visits for my two senior cats and I am very happy to have her. She is reliable and genuinely enjoys giving them a bit of extra loving after their feedings. I plan to book her whenever I have a pet-sitting need.”
About: I have been walking dogs for the past 7 years ago and I have been pet sitting for about 5 years. I have experience working with with all ages of dogs from puppies to seniors, and various sizes and breeds. I love caring for people's pets while they are away and making sure that the animals are comfortable and happy! I also have experience cat sitting and love cats just as much as dogs!! I have two cats of my own, and grew up having dogs! I also currently work with puppies on the weekends :) I work on the weekends and have off most of the week, so I have a pretty open schedule Monday through Friday! I’d love to spend time hanging with and caring for other peoples animal during the week! I care for pets by introducing myself to them, letting them sniff me, and building trust and a relationship. I am happy to follow any directions given to provide quality care to clients’ pets! I also make sure to do unspoken things, like refill water bowls, etc. Since I’ve had pets all my life, I am very familiar with how to care for them :)
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Hoodview
Xanthia recently took care of our cat for several days when we were out of town. Our cat is reserved with new people, but he warmed up to Xanthia very quickly, talking to her when she came to care for him. Xanthia was reliable, easy to work with, and took care of everything well. She will be our go to caregiver in the future.
Shelby was so great! My previous pet care fell through last minute and Shelby was very responsive and came to do a meet-and-greet with my senior kitty Aries. Shelby was very professional and took amazing care of my shy and timid kitty, could not recommend her more!
Amy agreed to watch our two pups, Liska and Miles, on relatively short notice. She was excellent! Her daily photos and feedback, and care of our pups was amazing. We will certainly reach out to her again the next time we're out of town. Highly recommend! And thank you!
Madelyne was communicative and clearly cared not only about the wellbeing of the animals but about their comfort as well. everything was in tip-top shape upon my return, which as anyone who has left their beloved pets over an extended holiday knows is such a relief to be able to step into a house without surprises. Would highly recommend you book with Madelyne if her availability aligns with yours and you need someone who is consistent, communicative, and caring.
We are very pleased with Aleen's care of our cat Tulip. While Tulip was pretty timid, Aileen was making progress with her by the time we returned. I found Aileen to perfectly follow the feeding and litterbox instructions I left her (believe me, I've had some epic fails in the past with other services). A huge thank you to Aileen from me and Tulip.
Katie was absolutely wonderful! She stepped in for last-minute drop-in visits during the holidays, and I couldn’t be more grateful. She took great care of my two dogs, Finn and Forest, and gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Communication was excellent, and it was clear she genuinely cared about them. I highly recommend Katie to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and flexible dog sitter.

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.
