“Olivia was wonderful! She did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. Communication was great and based on the daily updates we got, our normally shy cats loved her visits. Will be booking with her in the future!”
“Christina is great! She is a lightning-fast communicator, which any anxious pet owner knows is a big deal! She took the time to get to know my cats, but respected their comfort level, and asked thoughtful questions during intros!”
“I have booked Amanda's services frequently for the past few months and was thoroughly impressed. Amanda's professionalism and dedication were clear. She always communicated promptly, took great care of my dog, and provided regular updates with photos. She also was flexible with my schedule on numerous occasions. I always returned to a happy, well-cared-for dog and a tidy home. Amanda is reliable, caring, and professional. Highly recommended!”
“Natalie took the best care of Daisy. She was easy to communicate with and very reliable. She was able to accommodate a last minute change & sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She also offered and cleaned up all the dog fur so we didn’t have to come home to a mess. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to care for our pup while we were on vacation.”
“Becky provided drop in visits daily for our two kitties. Becky is cognizant to look for issues and quickly alerted us of issues with our older cat. She called us asking how to proceed. Thank you so much for keeping our babies. Will book you again!”
“Thank you so much for taking great care for my girls! They are my family and it’s super nice to have such great ppl to watch them when I’m not home. The trust is strong with those at Rover. I appreciate the kindness and respect I received from Emily. Thank you!”
“Lia was extremely friendly and caring about my dogs. She was very trustworthy and thorough. She made sure to post lots of pictures to show how the doggos were doing. 100% can recommend Lia for anyone who may be a little hesitant to have anyone take care of their dogs.”
“Amanda provided excellent care for my cat while I was away, with daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her. If I ever need a cat sitter in the future, I plan to rebook.”
About: I’ve had a dog in my house ever since i was younger and i have got a dog of my own for 5 years now! I’m currently working part time, so i’m definitely very available and very flexible with days and times and will be doing that for a while! I have a fence for my dog so i’m very careful with my dog and safety at home and would do the same for your house and dog , i also can easily crate your dog if needed as well!
About: I have experience in puppy obedience training and leash training, oral medication administration, experience handling dogs of all ages and sizes, especially with caring for stubborn dogs. Also I am very familiar with taking care of pups with anxiety or different fears. I am a full time student at Boston University, but have long breaks throughout my day where I could care for nearby pets in need of attention or walks, meaning lunchtime check ins or walks work particularly well with my schedule. I am happy to follow any preferences you have for pet care, including crating your dog (I have extensive experience crate training an unruly giant schnauzer puppy), leash preferences, and feeding schedules. I typically bring water bowls and extra water for my dogs on walks to keep them feeling their best and treats to keep them engaged (treat type depending on what your dog typically eats).
“Very friendly and thorough - checked on all our cats and ensured litter was clean, and food and water were filled. Also checked on the couple feral kittens living out back. Everyone happy and taken care of while we were away.”
About: I would like to own my own pup, but my lifestyle doesn't allow me to give it the attention it needs. Dog sitting is the perfect balance between allowing me to care for a pup when I'm available and not having to worry about the responsibility when I'm traveling. My family owns 4 cats - Peaches, Pepper, McCoy and Wonks. They are cool cats, and are mostly unbothered by other pups being around, as they grew up with my father's dog - Jake Dog. Jake Dog is a very intelligent GSP whom I had a hand in training and learning training techniques in both public puppy school and in home private lessons. Not that I want to train your dog, I just want to walk it and play fetch with it. I will only take in a dog that I am able to commit to full time for the duration of their stay. I needed three more words to complete this prompt, so that is the purpose of this sentence. I do not have a fenced in yard. But I can take your dog on walks through my neighborhood. I live on a dead end street with cul-de-sacs on each end.
“Kaleigh really stepped up when the previous sitter canceled without even so much as a message. She obviously has a history of working with dogs. She was informative and easy to contact. I would definitely recommend and will keep her at the top of my list next time I need a sitter.”
About: I have been caring for all different animals since I was a young girl. I am comfortable with all sizes and breeds and happy to take on special needs cases as well. I am very flexible and reliable when it comes to caring for your babies. As long as I am free I’m open to last minute drop ins as I know life happens and sometimes we all need a little help. My dogs are like my babies. They live a better life than I do. When I’m in your home your babies will be treated like mine while respecting all rules in the house (whether they’re set you or your dogs) I am very comfortable reading dogs social cues and am willing to meet them at their pace and comfort levels.
About: Over the course of my life, I’ve owned seven different types of pets, from horses to cats and dogs and others in between! This pet care experience that started in early childhood has led me to appreciate, understand, and know how to handle different furry family members’ personalities. In addition, I have pet at for various families in my community, all of whom had various pets with different needs and temperaments. It would be my honor to care for your pet and give them the treatment they deserve as part of your family. I am currently a college student with a fairly flexible schedule, with availability throughout different parts of the day. I am able to provide pet care throughout most days of the week in general! I am willing to abide by and uphold any of your standard practices for your pet! The last thing I’d like to do is disrupt your pet schedule or routine, so I will do everything in my ability to follow your standards to the letter.
About: Hello! My name is Laura and I live in Trafford, PA with my fiancé, Nathan, and our old golden retriever puppy, Meadow :). I bring a lifetime of hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets — not just dogs and cats, but also hamsters, chinchillas, guinea pigs and have even fostered a groundhog. I’ve grown up with pets all my life and couldn’t imagine a life without a furry family member. I’m comfortable with any and all pets including puppies who need structure, potty breaks, and tons of attention, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, extra gentleness, and close attention to their routines. I always keep owners updated so they feel connected and reassured:) I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and calm, even with shy, anxious, or energetic pets. Whether it’s walking, feeding, playing, or just keeping them company, I make sure every pet feels safe and loved! I am a registered dental hygienist and work locally in Monroeville, PA. I work Monday–Thursday from 7am–4pm, but am available for evening walks and drop-ins. I’m fully available on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays for anything you need, including weekend boarding or day-care! I also have an entire week off around Christmas time, so I’ll be home and fully available for holiday bookings, extended stays, or extra visits during that time :). Pet care is something I truly enjoy, so I build my free time around making sure your pets get the attention, love, and routine they need. We live on a 2 acre wooded lot and I have a fully fenced-in large backyard for secure outdoor time. My two-story home offers lots of space for relaxing, playing, or finding a quiet spot. I’m experienced with crate training and can follow any crate or feeding routines your pet is used to. I have my own 10 month old golden retriever puppy who is well trained, potty trained, and crate trained. She is extremely friendly and will be a great playtime companion!:)
About: I have always been a dog lover at heart! My family has 7 dogs of our own, both big and small. I am no stranger to what it takes to take care of your furry companion! I am currently looking for a full-time job outside of Rover, so I am available almost everyday! I prefer to be contacted 2 days in advance for visits. A someone who has been around pets their whole life, I pay very close attention to detail. I cater to you and your pets needs by asking questions and going above and beyond.
About: My name is Darcy and I am a single Mom of 3 older girls , 3 dogs, and a very large boa! We are an animal loving family! I have had pets my whole life and worked full-time for a local Humane Society for over 4 years as well as a traditional boarding kennel for 2 years. I look forward to caring for others pets while they are away, as well as offering the assurance and comfort to a pet owner that their baby is being taken care of in a safe, professional and loving manor outside of a kennel environment. I also have experience with elderly and special needs animals. I have a flexible work schedule so I can work around your schedule! I can come up to three times a day, whatever times you may need. Whatever your wishes are for your pet as far as crating, running in a fenced yard, or having to be individually walked I am open to working to keep your pet on the same routine as if you were home!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Irwin
Rachel was wonderful! She came out to do a meet and greet and was very attentive, she loved my three dogs right away. Rachel sent me pictures ever day and even took the time to give them each a carrot treat. She was prompt and had great communication. This was a wonderful experience!
Natalie took the best care of Daisy. She was easy to communicate with and very reliable. She was able to accommodate a last minute change & sent lots of pictures and updates throughout the week. She also offered and cleaned up all the dog fur so we didn’t have to come home to a mess. We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter to care for our pup while we were on vacation.
Thank you so much for taking great care for my girls! They are my family and it’s super nice to have such great ppl to watch them when I’m not home. The trust is strong with those at Rover. I appreciate the kindness and respect I received from Emily. Thank you!
I can't say enough good things about Hailey! She was absolutely wonderful with my dogs and I was able to make arrangements with her to drop-in on them on short notice. I was nervous leaving them alone, but I got peace of mind with the first drop-in card. I knew that my babies were going to be well taken care of and I was able to relax and enjoy my trip. I will definitely be booking with Hailey again anytime I'll be 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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Irwin choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
