“Courtney was a wonderful sitter. I have very social cats but I could tell when she first met them that they’d be in good hands. She even fed my mice that I hadn’t previously mentioned (I recommend always telling your sitter in advanced if you have “extra” pets so they’re aware, though, that’s on me). But she was so friendly and easy to communicate with. I’d also hired her to water my plants but because of the rain we got she didn’t have to. The fact that she was willing to do so and asked questions to make sure she did things right was more than enough for me. My home was also exactly as I left it, so I really appreciated Courtney’s efforts. The cats were asking about her when she left so she must’ve done something right. 10/10!”
About: I've grown up around dogs. My family rescued a dog when I was 8. I took care of him until I went off to college. He was an American bulldog that lived a long happy life. After college I rescued a sweet doggy that was badly abused prior to my care. He was an American Bulldog Mix that suffered from anxiety and some aggression. After he had passed away, I adopted Penny. A boxer, terrier mix. She's one and a half and a big lover. I have gained a lot of experience from caring from mid-size / large dogs all my life. I am often a dog sitter for my friends and family. I love dogs of all size. I have school breaks off, so I will have more availability during those times. I am a teacher Monday - Friday, so my current availability is Saturday and Sunday. During school breaks, I will have almost all open availability. Most weekends I spend with my puppy, either doing enrichment activities or walking in nature. I have a dog kennel in my yard and two crates in my home. I also have a puppy that loves to socialize. I often walk my 60lb dog, so I am comfortable with small dogs up to large dogs.
“Jessie did a great job looking after our cats while we were away! She was great about providing updates and was very prompt in all communication. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Jessie again in the future.”
“We have used Rover before, but no one has ever come close to the service she provided. She went above and beyond, traveling more than 45 minutes to accommodate our needs. She arrived early and stayed late with our bulldog, giving us complete peace of mind. Her communication was excellent, and we could tell she genuinely cared. Highly recommend!!”
“Emily watched my two dogs while I was away for over a week and did a fantastic job! She was very reliable and punctual. It gave me peace of mind and I highly recommend her!”
“Ashleigh was so good with both my dog and cat! She was available last minute. When we needed her to come an extra time, because our plans changed she was more than happy to help. She sent me pictures of them at every visit! I will definitely be using her again!! Thank you so much Ashleigh❤️”
About: I’ve had pets in my home and life for as long as I can remember, from dogs and cats to chickens and guinea pigs! I have experience caring for pets every size, age, breed, energy levels, and general care needs! I work as a tutor at a middle school, so I have full availability during the summers. I am absolutely a morning person, so morning walks/runs are built into my routine. Otherwise, I can be very flexible on times and locations of pet care. Caring for your pet within your home will include maintaining your pet’s comfort with their familiar environment. This includes playing with their own toys, eating their own food, and being within the home they love so much!
“Anna was very prompt with her meet and greet, which gave us a good feeling up front. She was able to win the dogs over very quickly which says alit about her demeanor with pets. Her responses to questions were comforting for a remote pet owner. I would certainly recommend her to friends.”
About: I have been pet sitting for years for family friends. I have owned dogs for my entire life, and I have a cat named michi. I have a flexible schedule. I am more open on the weekends, because I don't have classes, but I have lots of week day availability I care for client's pets the same way I would care for my own, with lots of love and care.

“Kendra is a wonderful petsitter. She was quick to initially respond to my request and she scheduled a meet and greet quickly to see if our job was a good fit. First impressions was that Kendra was kind and professional. She was reported her daily check-in and was patient with my kitty who was timid and hid from her until the last day. I'm thrilled to have found Kendra and will be reaching out for future trips.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Ishpeming
Sara was everything I could have asked for in a pet sitter and more. This was my first time using a pet sitter outside of close friends or family, so I was incredibly nervous. From our very first messages, though, I knew Sara was the right fit. I have a very anxious dog and two cats with behavioral issues who need to be kept separated at all times. My cats routine isn’t the most common, but Sara followed it exactly as I asked and never made me feel judged for the extra steps there care requires. It meant so much to know my pets were in the hands of someone who truly listened and respected their needs and routine. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets like they’re her own, Sara is the one. I couldn’t recommend her more highly!

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 .

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.

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.
