“Marissa is so dependable and mature beyond her years. She is great with animals and truly is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the wellbeing of the furbabies. She went well above and beyond and did so in such a kind way. I highly recommend Marissa to care for your pets.”
“This is the second time we've had Julia check in on our cat Gizmo for multiple visits. She always sends great photos of how well he's doing and even fixed our automatic cat feeder this time and completely changed out his litter for us! We love Julia and so does Gizmo!”
“Kathryn did a great job with Pookie and Pumpkin. She shared updates and pictures. I feel she is very trustworthy. She took extensive notes during our meet and greet visit. She followed all of my instructions.”
“First time leaving my puppy, Ollie, with a sitter. Adam was the perfect sitter for my little, timid pup. He knew how to make Ollie comfortable with him, was knowledgeable of dog training techniques, responsive to any questions I had, and left pics and comments. Ollie was well taken care of and my vacation was worry free.”
“Arica is such an amazing pet sitter!! I appreciate the thorough details of her visits and she's so sweet with my boys! I come home to happy and healthy pets, and even my timid boy is even getting more comfortable with her. She understands their body language and keeps them as comfortable as possible with their mom being away. She's now my go to sitter when I need one!”
“Mallory was amazing with our cats! Usually mine are shy but they really enjoyed her company. She was super flexible even with our very last minute booking. She is so sweet and kind! We will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Amanda was great with our cats! She is so communicative and easy to work with! We were so thankful to have her! It made a huge difference having that peace of mind while on vacation! We could not recommend her more!”
About: I've grown up with vastly different dogs; my first was a grumpy senior cocker spaniel and my last was the sweetest, smartest Australian Shepard/blue heeler. I've also taken care of friends' and family's pets like my aunt's deaf pitbull and my cousin's St. Bernard. Needless to say, I have a wide range of pet experience. I'm currently an online graduate student, which means I have flexibility to work around yours and your pet's schedule. I'm available most days with available times from early morning to late evening. It's important for a pet to feel safe in their home. It's important to follow a pet's boundaries, I try to cater to their needs and their routine.
About: I’ve had experience taking care of dogs pretty much my whole life, so I’m really comfortable around all kinds of personalities and needs. I’ve also spent a lot of time staying overnight with dogs and watching them for different lengths of time, whether it’s just a day or longer trips. I’m used to handling feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel safe and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m a teacher during the school year, so my weekdays are a bit more structured since I’m working from about 8–4. In the summer, I switch things up and work as a nanny three days a week. I’m still available on weekends year-round, and during the school year I can be available outside of my work hours on weekdays as well. I really strive to be a safe, calm place for dogs, no matter their personality or needs. I’m comfortable around all types—whether they’re super energetic, shy, or need a little extra patience. I’m also very good at following whatever routine or plan you already have set up for your pet, so they can stay comfortable and stick to what they’re used to while you’re away.
“Abigail was a fantastic cat sitter! She took care of my little lady just like I asked. She communicated very well and sent multiple photos of Loey everyday while I was gone. She even took in some packages I had delivered which I had asked her to do. Loey and Abigail were the best of friends while I was gone and I highly recommend her!”
About: I grew up around 3 small dogs and have 2 large dogs of my own. Depending what your dog likes to do (go for walks, get attention, play with their toys) I'll do it. They deserve all the attention while you're away! I administer meds for my lab daily. My son loves to come with to help but will stay home if your pet is nervous around kids. I can let your dog out before work, lunch, after work and before bed. Any other specific times, just ask! My job is flexible so you tell me the time(s) that work for you and I'll make it work. I can't spend the night on the overnight stays but will spend lots of time with them! If I am not comfortable or you're not comfortable after we meet, you are welcome to cancel. I request we meet before booking. I use Rover when I am away and have had a good experience but try to provide a great experience to my clients.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Horace stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
