About: I have always loved animals and had pets my entire life. Currently have a dalmatian that loves to play and could use a friend to help them both burn energy. I work from home and would love to give my dalmatian, Bennie Mae, a walk with a new friend! Also, my schedule is very flexible. We have a dog-proof home with plenty of space to run and play. Nearby park with room to roam outside. Wonderful neighborhood to go on walks.
“We are so thankful for Chelsea! She took care of my sweet baby, Archer while we were away and he couldn’t have been in better hands. Chelsea was very communicative and sent plenty of pictures to put a smile on our faces each time. This was our first time with Rover and we will absolutely be using this service again AND specifically asking for Chelsea!”
“Katie is awesome with my cat! She clearly loves animals and is patient with letting them get to know her; she doesn’t hesitate to message with questions or answers, and somehow manages to capture the cutest pictures to share while I’m away! 100% recommend her!!”
“Amie has great communication, is thoughtful and thorough. Our cats really enjoy having her when we are away and seem very comfortable with her. We are always grateful when Amie is available to take care of our furry family! She's excellent every time!”
“Michelle is very attentive and dependable every time she has dropped in our pets. We are very comfortable in knowing she has things under control, with no worries when we are gone.”
“We are so grateful for the incredible care our dog received! She stepped in to help us on very short notice, and from the very beginning she went above and beyond. Throughout our time away, she kept us updated with regular messages and adorable photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that our dog was not only well cared for, but also happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Her kindness, reliability, and genuine care for animals truly stood out. We came home to a happy, relaxed dog, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter. Thank you for going the extra mile. We would absolutely book with you again!🩷”
About: I have always had a big heart for animals since I was a little girl. Constantly helping with my family’s dogs and now that we’re all older and on our own, my siblings still choose me to help oversee care for their dogs when they’re out of town. I have past experience as a vet assistant (little over a year.) With this I have learned just how different each dog, or cat, can be and therefore I can approach care that is best fitted for them :) I’m a flight attendant so I’m gone 4-5 days at a time but tend to be home an average of 15 days a month. With this type of schedule it allows me to have plenty of free time to keep myself active and having a little friend to walk with would just add to it! I’m currently just a cat owner but do go take care of my siblings and parents dogs. They all have big yards that allow for them to play catch with a ball or just sniff around. Also have good areas to walk each of their dogs to keep them moving!
About: I grew up in a dog household and absolutely love dogs but when I grew up and got my own place I got two cats who are darling. Now I'd love to volunteer my free time to help other pet parents in the area take care of their furry loved ones! Thursday - Sundays I'm available any time of day (I WFH on Thursdays and Fridays). If you need a check-in or walks before/after work Mondays-Wednesdays I'm also happy to help, my hours are just more limited because I'm in office during the day- but feel free to shoot me a message! I will be very diligent about keeping your home safe and respected just as I would want someone to do the same at my own home.
About: I have pet sat for neighbors, family, and friends from a young age. My brother flys me out to LA to dog sit a couple times per year. My pet care knows no bounds! I have two Chihuahua mixes currently and am involved in the Chihuahua rescue community. I work from home so I plan to utilize rover on my daily lunch breaks! I have a flexible schedule as well that allows me to do this during the week. I cannot board animals in my home at this time due to my two dogs being antisocial divas. I will enjoy taking small/medium sized dogs out for short walks and/or let them out to potty in the yard. Can refill water/food if needed. I can scoop litter and top off food for cats as well
“Kathy did a fantastic job taking care of cat and hermit crabs. Excellent communication and lots of pictures. Made leaving for a long time easier knowing she was in great care. Highly recommend. Thank you!!”
About: As a dedicated animal enthusiast, I bring extensive experience in caring for family pets. I am committed to ensuring your furry friends receive top-notch care, including regular feeding, exercise, and plenty of affection. Whether it’s a playful dog or a cuddly cat, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing a safe and loving environment. Book with me for peace of mind and a happy, healthy pet! I am currently working at a senior assisted Living home full time. My availability is anytime after 3:00 PM on most days. I am off work on Thursdays and Sundays, so I am available anytime on those days. I am happy to work around my schedule and provide flexible pet care when needed. I have a lead, a dog and cat to keep your animal comany! If needed I do have crates. They also have a lot of toys to play with.
About: I grew up with dogs and I have owned a dog for 40+years. I raised German Shepard and Pitbulls. Sadly, I lost both my Pitbulls last year. I love to walk dogs and snuggle as well. I am a retired teacher. I am trustworthy and understand the importance of loving and caring for all dogs. I am retired so I have flexibility. I am very busy with my grandchildren, but again, I am flexible. I will keep pets over night. I live in a condo and the community welcomes pets and there are all kinds of breeds. There is a nice grass area to walk the dogs with a lovely paved 1 mile loop to walk through a beautiful community.
“I am so happy Sara is on Rover! She has watched my cats and dogs for years. Knowing Sara is caring for my animals gives me peace of mind. She checks in on my girls while I am at work. I know my pets are safe with Sara. Just meeting her you can tell she truly loves animals! Penelope & Mille are so excited to see Sara again soon! Thanks, Sara!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Howell
Emma was my first choice for a sitter, and I was not wrong! She was on time for our meet and greet, she was very considerate of our wishes, and she went above and beyond. I forgot to set out a pretty important tool for her to complete her task. Thankfully Emma found the tool and resolved the issue! We will call on her again, she is worth it!

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.

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 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.
