“Jennifer has been there when I needed her most. As a biologist with unpredictable fieldwork I appreciate it SO SO much!! I love the rover reviews she leaves after every check in and she takes great pictures too”
About: I started dog-sitting in college. I've taken care of blind senior dogs, puppies, adult dogs, not to mention guinea pigs, chinchillas, cats, turtles...the list goes on!! I work from home, so I can take my laptop anywhere! I do have a strict work schedule, but it doesn't matter where I am. That said, because my work schedule is strict, I can't travel for drop-ins during the hours of 9am-6pm. I treat my pets like they're my kids, so your pets would be like my nieces and nephews...lots of fun but I'll give 'em back!! When dog-sitting in your home, I try to leave everything just as you left it.
“Ebony is so rare. They update and take care of your dog and cat like they were their own. I’m so grateful to have someone get to know my dog’s personality and be patient with them while I was away. It makes travel and being away more enjoyable knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate it more than you know. Mary Louise”
About: I grew up on a farm with many pets and dogs. I have cared for dogs that have needed injections, special diets, and that special attention. I do have 2 corgis so for any boarding in my house it is important that your furry best friend likes other dogs and an initial introduction is paramount for a long term stay. I have an enclosed yard and a doggie door. I am more than happy to also care for dog IN YOUR HOME where pups are most comfortable. Love doing walkies and visits. Been caring and loving pets forever. I work for myself and set my own hours as an administrative assistant and a care giver. I have lots of flexibility. I can adjust my schedule as needed. I have a fenced in yard, a doggie door but I am happy to do walking if that is your pets preference. My corgis are great with other dogs in their space.
“Ashley is amazing! Punctual, communicative, super easy to talk to and get along with and most importantly, trustworthy! Ashley and my little princess got along so well and she treated Amber like she was her ownSo thankful we crossed paths with you Ashley, Amber and I look forward to seeing you again 💛”
About: Since I've graduated college, I've gotten to love on 3 different types of dogs. One with an easy-going temperament that eventually passed due to kidney cancer and hip osteoarthritis. Another that is the typical sweet pittie that only wants love and kisses. And the last, raised since a 4-month-old puppy, an energetic and playful little devil that keeps me on my toes. I've navigated caring for a senior dog with toileting issues while raising and training a puppy at the same time. I love dogs and am better when I am with one. I'm currently working PRN (as needed) and have more time throughout the day to stop in and assist with pet care. I want to fill my day with meeting and loving on as many dogs as possible! I have a fenced yard and 2 energetic but playful and social dogs at home. I know the Lafreniere dog park very well and take my dogs there often. While I am not the best at training, I can utilize simple commands that have been taught and know my way around crates, pee pads, and dog toys.
“Deana did a great job checking in on my cat over Christmas! She made sure to send “rover card” updates with pictures and a note of how it went each day. I would definitely recommend her!”
“Faith was great with our Gina. She even made sure to ask questions about care for Gina, to make sure that she would have everything she needed. It was a last-minute booking, and faith made us feel comfortable, leaving our fur baby in her care.”
“Jennifer was great! Responsible, good communication and kept good care of our dog through check-ins while we were out of town. I would defy recommend her!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of multiple breeds since I was 10. Dogs are my life and I hope to be a Veterinarian one day! When people in my neighborhood need a sitter or walker i’m the first they’d call. I have my own goldendoodle and cairn terrier back home who i miss dearly. I also have some experience dog training and am the training committee head for Tulanes service dog club (TU Step). I am currently a college student with a very flexible schedule. I go to Tulane University and don’t have any class Thursday's and weekends. I only have about 2 classes a day other wise. While I am at college (Tulane) I cannot have pets in my dorm. At your house i will always keep and eye on your pets and give them love and attention :) (I love dogs so much so really I don’t mind! If your pup has any special care it needs i’m more than happy! I have experience training, giving medicine, etc.
“Elizabeth came through for us extremely last minute and went above and beyond what we asked for in our request. We will certainly be requesting her again for future pet sitting needs!”
“Lindsay took great care of our pets. She followed the instructions well and provided plenty of photographs and explanations of her visits. We will definitely call on her again and recommend her highly.”
About: As a certified dog-person since age 5, I am experienced in caring for a variety of dog breeds, across all stages of life.

“Samantha was such a kind and communicative sitter for our sweet boy! She took the time to come meet him first and always shared thorough updates and loved on our kitty and was attentive to his unique personality. We highly recommend choosing Samantha for your fur babes & will definitely book her again! Thanks Samantha!”

Payton was phenomenal! Great to work with, fully trustworthy, showed up at the requested times and went above and beyond what I ever expected. I honestly think my dog was disappointed to see me and not her when I got home. There isn’t enough stars to show I much I appreciate Payton and her service. Will use her again!! (If not my dog may run away to go find her)
Ethan came over as promised and gave my outdoor kitty his food and water. My ozzie is shy so didn't show up until the night I returned from my trip. But I know he's at neighbor's house and yard. I really appreciate the pictures that Ethan sent me and he took care of my mail too.
Mitchell attentively cared for my dogs over a hurricane weekend. He was very dependable, trustworthy, and went above and beyond to make sure my dogs were safe. The gate blew open and he contacted me immediately to let me know he resecured the gate so the dogs would not escape. He showed up on time and performed tasks efficiently. I appreciate and trust Mitchell with my pups.
I highly recommend Elizabeth as a pet sitter. She was so sweet to my cat Kiki and cared for her as if she were her own. She played with her just as I asked her to and did everything else I asked her to. She is so nice and I trust her. She is my first choice for any pet sitting needs in the future. With her my mind is at peace and i know Kiki will be just fine. Thanks again Elizabeth. I hope you'll be able to pet sit Kiki again.
I work long days and Hannah does daily drop-ins for my two dogs. She's consistent, on time, and I get updates every single visit so I'm never guessing. Both dogs are happy to see her, which tells me everything. If you need someone dependable on an ongoing basis, she's it.
Piper went above and beyond to make sure my pet was well taken care of. She is exceptional and really makes sure they feel happy and safe! She also sometimes stays a bit longer than what is expected and is available short-notice and never makes you feel like a bother. Absolutely awesome! 🤩
Laine did everything I asked of her for my kitties in a way that opened my eyes to new methods of expertise. I’d like to give her a high recommendation on her level of care. I knew my kitties (that turn 1 yrs old this month btw) were in great hands. Thank you, Laine 😸
Sarah was great!! This was the second time she watched our pets (1 dog, 2 cats and a fish). She checked in on them multiple times a day, sent us updates, and followed the detailed notes we left her. We felt like they were in such great hands that we could actually enjoy our trip without worrying about if they were getting the care we needed. We'll definitely book Sarah next time we travel!
We had such an amazing experience with Olivia while we were away on our honeymoon! She was incredible with administering our cat’s daily eye medication and spent so much time playing with and loving on our fur baby while we were gone. The daily report cards and photos gave us so much peace of mind and truly reassured us that our cat was happy, comfortable, and well cared for back at home. We are so grateful for the attention, communication, and care she provided and would absolutely book with her again!

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.

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.
