“We were first time users to Rover and booked Emma to watch our two cats while we went out of town. We were nervous. Emma came over to meet our cats before we left town and that really put our minds at ease. Our kitties were so happy and content the whole time we were away and even warmed to her. Emma did a wonderful job, and was very communicative. We will absolutely use her again.”
About: I have been volunteering since I was 14 at my local animal shelter socializing cats, I have since switched to an all cats shelter socializing them, cleaning their cages, feeding them, and helping with vet appointments. I also volunteer at an all dog shelter taking them on walks. I also own three cats and care for them. I have cared for dogs and cats in the past in other homes and my own! I am working a part time job, so I have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I spend lots of time with my cats currently during the week. I have a screen porch to ensure my cats get lots of entertainment, I also provide lots of love and space. I can crate your dog, feed any animal, walk them, or take them out to use the bathroom!
“Kristen was lovely, great communication, prompt visits, and friendly personality. She took care of our girl like she was her own, and we would be happy to use her services in the future.”
About: I've cared for dogs of various sizes all of my life. Big dogs, little dogs, sport dogs, herding dogs and rescue dogs. All different in their own special ways and loved them all. We currently have a 2 year old mixed breed from Louisiana named Beau, who loves to run, play, swim, hike and cuddle. I'm currently working part-time, so will have plenty of time to play and care for your pups. My schedule is very flexible and easy to adapt to your pet's needs. I have a fenced in backyard at home and am very comfortable caring for your dog in your home the way you prefer. Please let me know if they have particular leashes, harnesses or treats they prefer when I visit. I'd love a quick meet and greet first to make sure your pups are happy and feel safe with me.
“Dawn was very sweet and professional. She took great care of our cat, Murphy. In addition to feeding and cleaning the litter box, she gave him lots of love and sent photos. We were very comfortable with Dawn and will absolutely ask her to take care of Murphy again when we go away for an extended period of time. 5 stars Dawn!!”
“Beth has been absolutely wonderful to work with. She is professional, reliable, and truly cares about the dogs she looks after. It’s clear she goes above and beyond, she even asked us to leave a towel out so she could wipe the dogs down on rainy days, which shows how thoughtful and attentive she is. She also treats our home with the utmost respect, which gives us great peace of mind while we’re away. We always come back to happy, well cared for dogs. We highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and detail-oriented!”
“We have booked Kate a few times and every time has been wonderful. She is very punctual, very reliable, and so nice to our fur babies. Would highly recommend her, she is absolutely our go to sitter.”
“Celina went above and beyond to care for our pets! When we arrived home, we could tell how happy they were and that they had been well cared for! Thank you for a great weekend!!”
About: I had a pet dog growing up, and I have frequently dog-sat for my parents. I now find myself under employed and looking to make some extra money while spending time with dogs! I'm currently working part-time, with the option to work from home, so I am extremely flexible. I live in downtown Concord within walking distance of 3 parks, so near constant access to the outdoors is a bonus! I live in an apartment that allows dogs of all sizes and breeds. I do not have a fenced yard, but I do live on the ground floor and have a lead attached to my deck for when I'm hanging out on the deck I also have a pet cat, so ant dog staying in the house would need to be cat savy.
“Kayla was excellent. We were nervous leaving our cats for so long (almost a month), but based on communication with Kayla it was clear that we made a great choice in who to trust our cats with. When we arrived home they were clearly well taken care of and happy to see us. We highly recommend Kayla for pet sitting.”
“Jess did a wonderful job taking care of our bunny, Beep, while we were out of town. Jess was responsive, flexible, and just an all around great pet sitter. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Kristina really helped us out with a last minute booking! She’s flexible, responsive, and respectful. She made sure our boys were take care of and even brought in packages so they wouldn’t get left out in the rain!”
“Andrea was great with our dog with his drop in visits. He can be anxious to newcomers and is a large breed but she was very understanding of his needs and they bonded very quickly. She provided pictures which was also helpful for us. We will certainly work with her again!”
“Caroline is personable and polite, with a positive demeanor and attentiveness we greatly appreciate. She is reliable and punctual, communicates very well and is very responsive.”
About: I am currently work 8-5. I have a dog of my own and prioritize taking care of her. I will do the same for your fur babies! I can take your dog out for walks every day if wanted or needed. I can play all sorts of games with them if that’s what they like. I have always owned dogs so I’m extremely comfortable and knowledgeable about them. I’m flexible and with enough notice I can plan during the days. So if you require a set schedule for certain days I can definitely work with you on that. Let me know preferences and schedules and I will be sure to work with you all as needed! I have a very active dog of my own and I will prioritize her schedule during the day. I can do that for you too! Living in an apartment, I need to be diligent about the care for my dog and make sure she’s getting out for exercise throughout the day. Parks are near by which she loves to run around!

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Hopkinton
Celina has watched my cats several times and always does an amazing job. After one of my cats was diagnosed with diabetes, she took extra care to give him insulin and was very patient with him. I really appreciate how good she is with my cats and how much effort she puts into helping them feel comfortable when we're away.

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 .

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.
