“It means the world to come home to my girls so well taken care of while I’m away! Mafe kept me updated every day, kept their litter boxes clean and made sure they were pampered :) very appreciative and will be requesting again!”
“She was wonderful! She accepted my booking at the last minute when I needed someone to watch Sova during a doctor’s appointment. She listened carefully to Sova’s needs, routine, and activity level, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving her in her care. She was attentive, accommodating, and genuinely kind. I’m very grateful she was able to help us on such short notice, and I would absolutely book with her again!”
“Knowing my big boy was in such good care everyday with Maliyah made my life SO much easier! She made us a priority, working with him everyday for months! Such reliable care is hard to find! Would take her traveling with me if I could 🥰”
About: I have been around the pup stage to the elder just wants to be fed and let alone stage. I can do both and am willing to make sure your baby is the best even when your not around. I have a flexible schedule depending on what you need! I am a little tight on certain days (Thursday-Friday Morning/Early Afternoon). But anything truly! :) I am a big believer in dog therapy so me hanging with your dog brings me joy when I can’t go back home to Raleigh and see mine. I’ll treat them just as I do my own.
“Sunny was great with our boy!! She was on time, communicative and listened to all of our requests (no matter how silly). She snapped lots of pictures for us as well which helped ease some of our guilt from leaving him especially with seeing how happy he was from their time together! Definitely recommend her :)!”
“Madison was super attentive when she dropped in to care for my pets while I was at work. She was sent photos, played with them and was overall super responsive. Will definitely book again!!”
“Madison was AMAZING! She went above and beyond taking care of my cat while on vacation. I could tell my cat really got along well with her, and she sent the most lovely pictures! Will definitely be booking with her again.”
About: I have grown up with all sizes and ages of dogs from an elderly black Lab to a baby Maltese Shitzu. I love all types of animals and have pet-sat for many people, including coworkers, neighbors, and roommates. I am a recent graduate of Appalachian State University living in Boone for the summer. Then moving to Greenville, NC in the Fall to attend East Carolina University for graduate school. I am available anytime! To care best for your animal, I will respect the space and privacy of your home. Please provide specifications so I can ensure all guidelines will be followed.
About: Growing up, my family has always had dogs in the house. I also have lots of friends who own dogs who have needed someone to dogsit or walk! I have been away from my baby doodle “Pearl” since living in Greenville for school. Being around animals makes me very happy and I’d love nothing more to help out in my free time. I am a student, so I will be available after classes. On Mondays and Wednesdays, I am available from 10:30am-12:30, then again after 3:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays I am available after 3:30. On weekends, I am typically available all day! I am a theatre major so sometimes I will be participating in evening rehearsals and shows, so this will be communicated. When I am at someone else’s house, I adapt to a dog’s needs depending on their energy. If they just want someone to cuddle with for a while, or if they want to play and get all their zoomies out, I can do either! I have had two puppies and two senior dogs, so I know the spectrum and can accommodate to whatever’s needed. I can give pills with treats and food. I also like cats and am open to caring for them as well, I have had hands on experience with them! I truly see dogs and cats as little humans and always extend my upmost empathy and love to them. I have no tolerance of disrespect to these babies and will always treat them as my own.
“Alyssa is amazing. Memphis is very nervous around new people abs she made sure he was comfortable with him at the meet and greet. She treated him as amazingly as if he was her own baby. Definitely will boom again.”
“Bonnie was wonderful! She helped us out on short notice and over the holiday weekend. We were so thankful and pleased with her response time, availability, follow-up, daily checking with pictures and overall professionalism. She was an absolute pleasure to work with and our babies were well taken care of!!”
“Shelby was amazing with my cat! She’s professional, kind, and attentive. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing he was in great hands, and I can’t wait to book her again. Thank you so much, Shelby!”
About: Im a nursing student who would love to meet and care for your furry best friend! I am in the area and i don’t have class everyday so im pretty available! I have always had a dog in our house for about 7 years. I have babysat neighbors dogs and cats. I have had 4 dogs at a time before and we have adopted rescues. I have had young pups to senior animals. I have clincials on Monday from 6:30am-12:30pm and it’s about an hour away so i’ll be available around 2:30-3pm. Free on Tuesdays! I have classes on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 8am-3pm. Always making sure they have water and feeding is on time/ the right amount. Checking the temperature for the animals' safety and their comfort. Gentle with senior animals so they have a sense of security while I am there. If not too hot, we would take walks, but also being cautious of their paws on hot pavement and overheating!
“Absolutely love Sabrin! This is my second time booking with her and I will continue to book with her. We weren’t sure how my pets were going to remember her, but I am so glad they did! With all the pictures Sabrin sends me, it looks like my pets truly seem happy. Will definitely be booking her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Allie. I have loved and cared for animals since I was 12. I have always dog-sat and walked dogs. In addition, I worked at a local dog store in my hometown called Just Dog People. We sold dog toys, products, food, etc., and clipped and washed dogs. I have worked professionally with dogs for years, and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I am currently enrolled at ECU but have a pretty open schedule. I am available to walk dogs mornings, afternoons, and evenings Monday through Sunday! I have 4 dogs myself and they are my pride and joy. I am very respectful and have worked and cared for animals in my own home and others and have always done well. I seek to make the best experience for the pups and get all their energy out.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - House
Mafe put me at ease when she came to meet my sweet senior dog! She provided him with morning and evening medications, followed all instructions for his care and gave him lots of love and attention. It is always hard to find someone who you feel comfortable leaving your dog with and she made his home visits special for him. I appreciated the updates and photos and my dog most definitely appreciated the love and care she provided while I was away from home.

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 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.
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 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.
