“Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)”
“Alyson was excellent with my cat Duck giving her twice daily insulin injections and a daily pill. She even brought in my mail and took out the trash when she noticed it was getting full! She was very thorough with updates and communications and I would definitely use her again!”
“My babies were well taken care of. Christopher is willing to accommodate last minute request. Good communication to make sure things go well. Will book with Chris again.”
About: 🏡 Calm, home-away-from-home boarding 🐕 Pet-free household 🌳 Private fenced yard ❤️ Experienced with rescues & anxious dogs 📸 Frequent updates 👩 Home throughout the day 📝 Detailed meet-and-greet/intake process I may be new to Rover but I’m not new to caring for your dog. As a lifelong pet owner, animal lover and proud rescue dog mom, I know that every dog has their own unique personality, routine, and needs. I raised my two rescue Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull mixes from the shelter, giving me hands-on experience with training, structure, and positive reinforcement. Whether your pup is energetic and playful or prefers a slower pace, I adapt my care to match both their personality and the routine you’ve established, helping them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Your dog’s stay will include plenty of one-on-one attention, walks to the nearby park, playtime in my fully fenced backyard, and lots of affection (including couch cuddles if they’re allowed!). I also believe communication is key, so you can expect regular photo and video updates throughout the day for complete peace of mind. My goal is simple: to become someone you can trust wholeheartedly with your best friend. I want you to leave knowing your dog is being cared for with the same love, patience, and attention that you would give them yourself. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent attention throughout the day, whether that’s morning walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, or simply keeping your dog company. I enjoy being active, so regular walks and outdoor time are already part of my day. Whether your pet needs a quick walk, overnight care, or an extended stay, I’ll make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they deserve—not just the basics, but plenty of love and companionship too. Every pet is unique, so I tailor my care to match their personality, energy level, and the routine you’ve already established. Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, consistency, and lots of love and attention. I carefully follow feeding schedules, walking routines, medication instructions (if needed), and any training cues you use so your dog experiences as little disruption as possible. In my home, dogs enjoy a calm, pet-free environment with plenty of one-on-one attention, a fully fenced backyard for supervised play, walks to the nearby park, and cozy places to relax. If your dog is allowed on furniture, they’re welcome to cuddle up on the couch with me. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat your space with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep your home tidy, can provide regular updates with photos and videos, and make sure your dog feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away. My goal is for you to return home to a happy dog and complete peace of mind
“Mike did a great job doting on our very neurotic cat. He managed to slip a pill into her food every morning, and stayed around for a bit so she could get a "second breakfast" afterwards. He even got to pet her occasionally, something only a very select few can say! Fountains were kept filled, cat box was clean, and bowls weren't overflowing with stale, dried up food. Definitely recommend!”
“Jadeth was wonderfully thorough and thoughtful in her visits and summaries! We really looked forward to her check-ins while we were away and they helped us to miss our cats a bit less. They seemed very happy and safe in her care!”
“Lindsay was the perfect companion for my puppy! They were fast friends, and I truly appreciated Lindsay’s attention to detail when it came to her care. Lindsay was absolutely wonderful as a sitter and I hope we can do another play date soon!”
About: I’m an animal lover that has had pets all my life! I’m a calm and patient person who can handle dogs of all sizes and demeanors. I also can’t resist petting a cat. I understand that they are family and will treat them as such! I’m currently working part time so I will have time to take care of your pet and make sure they have all the attention they need. I have reliable transportation and am a Boston native I have a fenced in yard and live very close to walking trails and a park. I have space to crate a dog inside if needed, or they can remain in or outside. I have two cats at home but when other pets enter the house they will be on the second floor only.
“Zoe did a drop in visit for our young puppy (14 weeks) and did a wonderful job! We did a virtual meet and greet during which she asked very thoughtful questions. She was very communicative.”
“James was an excellent caregiver for my cat. He came over early to see the house and meet Finbar, sent nice updates and pictures. I would be happy to use his services again.”
“Mengyao stepped in last minute when our sitter canceled during Christmas. She was incredibly responsive and communicative. She sent lots of great pictures, videos, and updates during her visits. Our pets loved her and were very well cared for. We can’t recommend Mengyao enough! We are looking forward to having her watch our babies again.”
“I was initially super anxious about using this service, but Stephen put my mind at ease with incredible care, kindness, and communication. Amazing sitter, went above and beyond. Thank you!!!”
“Sheila did a wonderful job taking care of our older doggo. She was super attentive and kept us informed about everything that happened during her drop-in visit. And she sent plenty of photos, which was great!”
“Tauryn was amazing with our two dogs! She was punctual and communicative. The pictures she sent were so cute. They both seemed so happy when we returned from our trip! We will definitely use her for drop in care again!”
“Jennifer is the best! She’s communicative, reliable, and cares deeply. She’s always my first choice when I need someone to care for my cat while I’m away.”
“Thank you so much Jasmine ! She took such phenomenal care of my cat , stayed the whole time to play with him , cleaned the litter box and went above and beyond . So trustworthy . Thank you again .”
“My dog, Rocco, is a 15 year old terrier who had never been under the care of a dog sitter. I was extremely fortunate that Marilyn was available to attend to his care over the past weekend. Marilyn is a very warm, friendly, compassionate, and deeply caring sitter. My dog gravitated to her immediately. Marilyn provided the most amazing and utmost care of our dog throughout the weekend. I highly recommend her services, and will contact her immediately for all my future dog sitting needs.”

Holden was an amazing pet sitter for our cat, Maribel! He was very responsive and replied to messages quickly. Maribel was quite shy but he made sure she felt safe, supported and had treats nearby to stay happy! We were so glad to find Holden to take care of our kitty and will surely book with him again and recommend him to anyone in the area with pets! :)
Lindsay was the first sitter we booked through Rover, and we absolutely loved her! She's incredibly thoughtful and paid close attention to every detail of care for our three cats, even the most nitpicky instructions I threw at her. She was also super responsive, so I never had to wonder how everyone was doing. She left our home exactly as she found it, which showed how much she cared about keeping the cats in a clean, comfortable environment. Lindsay truly cares about our cats, and that's what you want in a cat sitter. Highly recommend!
Lindsey has watched my two kitties twice and she’s so great. Amazing communication, she’s thoughtful, and truly cares about the cat’s wellbeing! I’d highly recommend her and hope she continues to work on Rover for a long time so my kitties get such great care any time I go away. Thanks Lindsey!
Avery was wonderful! Very communicative, kind, and attentive. She sent such great (and hilarious) pictures of the kitties and even brought a super heavy Amazon package in for me, which I didn’t ask for or expect! I felt totally at ease and confident my cats were well cared for while I was 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 .
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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
