“Jaclyn is great with our dog Gunner! She takes the time to make sure he gets plenty of attention and care while we are not at home. She is great at giving us updates and photos to ensure he is well taken care of. We have used her services a few times and will continue to in the future!”
“Went above and beyond our expectations of caring for our 6 cats while out of town for a weekend. I would definitely recommend using her and will be rebooking with her again in the future. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our fur babies while we were away!”
“Debra has been coming for drop-in visits at my house for 2 weeks to take care of my sweet pup. She always spends the time taking great care of him. I hope to continue to use Debra on a long term basis when I need help caring for my pup. Highly recommend!!”
About: I've cared for friends and family's dogs for a while now. It is important to me to keep your pet(s) on their schedule, provide enrichment, exercise, attention and safe play while under my watch. I enjoy keeping up on training exercises with younger pups and the slower days of senior dogs. I have my own 3 year old pup as my first dog. She is a lab mix mutt and is off-leash trained, affectionate, curious and playful! I was unable to have dogs or cats growing up due to family members allergies. My availability at this time is weekends; whether it's a Friday night late night and you just need someone to sit with your pup(s) or a full weekend of pet sitting in your home. My goal is to keep your pet safe and comfortable at all times, treating them as if they were my own. At home, my doors and gates are secure or the dog is leashed, no exceptions! My 2nd dog is an escape artist, so that was a very fast lesson to learn. I'm looking to build a great rapport with my clients and their four-legged family members. I want to create peace of mind for the pet owner while they are in my care. The feeling of knowing you have a reliable and dependable pet caregiver is so important to me, I'd want the same for my pups.
“OMG! We love her.... and more importantly, our cat Mesa loves her... and our dogs Emma, Hope and Beau are so relaxed when she visits. It is so nice to know that they are in good hands when Melissa is visiting. We never worry about them!”
About: I have taken care of dogs, cats, bearded dragons and snakes for family, friends, and strangers over several years. I am willing to take care of any animal(s), no matter the temperament or how exotic it may be. As long as there are clear instructions and direct communication, I am able to be responsible any animal(s). My primary job is with Maryland Department of Natural Resources and with certain assignments there is no rescheduling. This assignments are generally on weekends from 11:00 AM - 5:00PM. I am still able to arrive early in the morning and in the afternoon on these days, otherwise that I am available most of the week. My calendar will be up to date at the beginning of every month. I can come to your home but I cannot use my own. I am willing to send pictures of your animal(s) every minute if you miss them and need to know how they are doing.
About: For 18 years I have cared for my own dogs and dog sat for friends and family. I worked at a vet clinic for 4 years ending 13 years ago. Familiar with many breeds and comfortable with them as well. I currently working full time but my husband works from home completely so we always have a person around, including my kids who are great care takers. I work from home usually a day or two. I have a 6 foot fence and 2 friendly dogs to keep your furbaby company. No other pets are in the home. We are great with giving meds and love to all animals.
About: My wife and I had a dog for 13 years and enjoyed taking her hiking and swimming throughout her active years and snuggling on the couch when she became a senior. I'm familiar with the whole life cycle of dog care. From helping puppies get all the wiggles out to carrying seniors whose legs are arthritic and no longer at their best. Now that our girl, Nala has passed away, we are enjoying connecting with others' pets. I have an unconventional schedule for work and am available to let your dog out from 9 am until noon on Monday, Tuesday, Friday, and Saturday. Wednesdays and Thursdays are my days off and I'm free to hang with your pup any time! I'm very committed to pet safety and will want to understand all situations in which your dog may become reactive so that we avoid putting your pet in a situation that will make him or her uncomfortable. I also have a tracker that I like to put on all dogs in my care just in case they get spooked or something unexpected happens while we are together.
“First time we have ever used this Service and Alexandria was perfect. Great pictures, notifications and updates were clear and the stress of leaving our dog at home and as gone!”
“Kayla did a great job with Chip, and I was super appreciative of her last minute availability! Chip seemed happy and tuckered out when I got home, so it seems like they had a fun time. Thanks Kayla!”
“Megan was an amazing caretaker of my cat. She was very attentive to detail and her visits provided the comfort my senior cat was longing for while I was away for six nights. I’m looking forward to provide her services whenever I’ll be out of town.”
About: I grew up on a farm so I have lots of experience with all kinds of animals. I currently volunteer with BARCS and SPCA and frequently take on high needs medical fosters. I will happily care for your animals based on their individual needs no matter how complex. I'm free most weekday afternoons and weekends, I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can work around your needs in a lot of cases I'm available for drop in visits and some overnight stays. I'll treat your home and pets with the same care and consideration as my own.
About: Ever since I can remember I’ve always had animals in the house. When I was little I started with fish, reptiles, and small animals but as I’ve gotten older I’ve also taken on cats, dogs, birds, etc. Seeing as I’ve looked after many beloved pets throughout my life I’ve also taken on the challenge of learning to administer supplements and medication to the ones that need it. I’ve bottle fed and taken care of newborn puppies and kittens since I was small, and although I’m not a credentialed trainer, pride myself in knowing that I’ve been very good at training the animals I’ve had throughout my life. I’ve owned many breeds of cats and dogs ranging from extra big to extra small and including all stages of life. I’d love to be the one you choose to take care of your furry friends needs. Because of my job, I don’t get off at a certain time on weekdays so I have my availability set to every 8+ hours. I don’t always get off late but it depends on the day so sometimes I’m available more often, and others I’m not. Just to play it safe I’ve limited my hours on these days. As for weekends I’m normally available all day so as long as I don’t already have plans to attend to I can be free whenever. I always make sure to consider the clients comments/ requests when caring for their pets so every situation is different but either way I always take care of each animal to the best of my ability.

“Ryan did an excellent job taking care of my cat Casey. I was very happy to receive pictures of Casey where Ryan was interacting with him. This meant that Casey liked him and felt safe around him, which is very important to me. I hope to book Ryan again for Casey's care.”
“Leah was a huge help to us over Labor Day weekend, dropping in to let out and feed our three dogs. My husband and I are both small business owners, so we jumped at the chance to take a brief overnight trip together and Leah’s help made it possible. She was on time and engaging with the dogs and they were well cared for in our absence. We would definitely recommend Leah!”

I cannot recommend Megan enough! She truly went above and beyond while caring for my dog. We had a few unexpected things come up during our time away, and she handled everything with such patience, professionalism, and care. She was incredibly communicative throughout the entire stay, always keeping us updated and making sure we knew what was going on!
Abigail was amazing with checking in on my pets while I was away, especially with my kitty not being the most social around other people. She is trustworthy, attentive to details and did everything I asked of her including watering my plants, feeding my turtle, checking my cat’s automatic litter box, putting cat tv on for my kitty, even throwing away and putting our trash out for the collectors and ensuring she left the house clean and secured. I highly recommend her and will be using her again for future care!
Carla was awazing with our two girls. She took such good care of them. I was able to enjoy time away knowing that they were in good hands. We played with them, gave them so much attention and even cleaned up the yard. I will definitely use Carla again and highly recommend her.
Shannon is a great sitter for my cats while I was away on a 3-week European trip. She made sure that my cats were fed and very happy with her. Very plesed with her quick responses and notes describing how my cats are doing. I will have her again in the near future!!
I really cannot say enough wonderful things about Veronica! This was our 3rd booking with Veronica while we were out of town, and as usual, she was amazing. Our once shy and skittish kitty has become comfortable with Veronica and her check ins - that in and of itself was a huge success! I’m always so grateful for Veronica and her ability to put my mind at ease. I trust her wholeheartedly to care for our girls in our absence. Thank you for the fabulous care and concern you always provide!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , 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. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
