“I can’t recommend Alicianna enough! She took amazing care of my two dogs during their drop in visits while I was at work, and knowing they were being looked after gave me so much peace of mind. She was punctual, reliable, and kept me updated after every visit with messages and pictures, which I really appreciated since I couldn’t check on my dogs myself. It was obvious they genuinely cared about them and spent quality time making sure they had everything they needed—not just letting them out, but giving them attention and making them feel comfortable. My dogs looked happy and relaxed in every update, and it was clear they were in great hands. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, were respectful of my home, and made the entire experience completely stress free. If you’re looking for someone dependable, caring, and trustworthy to care for your pets, I wholeheartedly recommend Alicianna. I’ll absolutely be booking with her again!”
“We love having Alissa and Mario watch our kitties!! They are so attentive and we feel very secure knowing they’re at our home when we’re away. Can’t wait to have them back again!”
“Jade was so caring and patient with my crazy dogs. She gave me regular, detailed updates. She was always on time and loved on them like I would have. They were very happy. Will definitely book with her again!”
“I cannot say enough amazing things about Madison😊 — she is an absolute gem! She’s been doing drop-ins for my cats, and from the very first visit, I knew they were in the best hands. Not only does she feed them and spend time with them, but she goes above and beyond — she even offered to help clean around the house, which blew me away. She’s incredibly sweet, patient, and trustworthy, and it’s clear that she genuinely cares about the animals she watches. Every update from her gives me peace of mind and brightens my day. My cats adore her, and that means the world to me. It’s rare to find someone so dependable, compassionate, and professional — I’m beyond grateful to have found her. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pets and your home with the same love and care as you would, look no further. She’s truly one of a kind!”
“The best service I could have asked for. Exceeded expectations, sent me updates of my cats, played with them, brought in my mail, took out my trash, watered my plant, and was consistent with times he was able to show up. I look forward to working with him in the future as well! Thank you!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jacksonville
We can not begin to express our gratitude for Alissa and Mario! They went above what was expected and helped to relieve some of our anxiety over our girl getting loose. We absolutely HIGHLY recommend them and as long as they are here we will be using them again! ❤️ Rachael & Taylor
Jade was amazing! She went above and beyond what I requested and honestly it was so refreshing coming back from traveling and not having to do anything immediately for my cats. I will definitely be rebooking her again for any future travel plans I have if she is available!
Allison was a wonderful dog sitter! She was reliable, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. I really appreciated the regular updates and knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She followed all instructions carefully and made sure they were happy, safe, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Allison again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring dog sitter!
I recently hired Andrea to care for my two cats, Casper and Spirit, while I was away, and I couldn’t be more pleased with the experience. She was exceptionally reliable, communicative, and attentive to every detail of their care routine. Casper and Spirit can be a bit shy with new people, but they warmed up to Andrea right away — a true testament to her calm and caring nature. I received regular updates and photos, which gave my wife complete peace of mind knowing they were happy, well-fed, and comfortable at home. I came back to two relaxed, well-cared-for cats and a tidy home. I truly appreciate the level of professionalism and genuine affection Andrea showed toward my pets. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter.

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.

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.
