“Fantastic! Communication was above and beyond what I expected, the updates, and pictures assured me as a nervous Mom that I picked the right person for my little menagerie of pets. I am overjoyed with the care my pets and I received from Lindsay. Even from overseas I was able to communicate daily, and when the unexpected happened at my home ( loss of power due to a storm) she made me feel calm and assured my pets were ok. I’m so grateful to have found her!”
“Katy went above and beyond to care for our dog Nelson, especially during all the snowy weather. She played with him indoors and made sure he got exercise even when he didn’t want to spend much time outside. She is amazing!”
“Outstanding! Jingle 🐕 loves Sarah B. ❤️ He waits for her every morning 🌄 and 🌌. Sarah feeds 🐕, takes 🐕 outside for "buisness," and for play and magnificent photos and videos! Sarah spends time training 🐕 on new "steps" to get up and down on bed and his throne (since the jump is beginning to be harder for 🐕) and reinforcing his potty training. Sarah pours lots of love, attention, and "pets" upon Jingle. 💖 Sarah has made my 13/14 y.o. 🐕 feel like a puppy 🐶 again. It's a beautiful 😍 thing! Sincerely, Jingle and Theresa”
“We had a fantastic experience and really appreciated Elizabeth’s attention to our cats, and detailed updates to me. I felt confident they were well cared for during my time away and appreciated that she spent time to keep them company in addition to feeding them.”
“Alena communicated well & let me know about an ear issue with my pup. She helped find & clean his ear while I was gone. I really appreciated her flexibility & help. Definitely great and hope to have her walk my pup again.”
“Ashley is wonderful with our dog! She took great care of him while we were on vacation, leaving us at peace knowing he is safe with her drop in visits. He seems to miss her, as he is looking out the door to see if she is coming by. We will definitely use Ashley again!”
“Phuong is simply the best ever!! She always goes above and beyond in taking care of our cat and we are so grateful to her! We are able to relax and enjoy our vacations, thanks to her outstanding care!”
About: Hi, I'm Noah! I'm currently completing a 12-month apprenticeship in a music recording studio. Because my studio schedule fluctuates, I specialize exclusively in in-home house sitting for calm, well-trained, small-to-medium dogs. I love providing a peaceful, predictable environment for dogs who enjoy a more relaxed pace. Since I work in blocks of time, I am a great fit for independent dogs who are comfortable being home alone for a few hours during the day while I am in sessions. I will always make sure your pup gets plenty of morning and evening companionship, structure, and love. Please note: To ensure the best care around my studio hours, I can't take on puppies, dogs with severe separation anxiety, or large, high-energy breeds right now. As a music studio apprentice, my daily schedule varies, so house sitting is an ideal arrangement for me. I will use your home as my main base of operations. Although I step out for blocks of time during the day for studio sessions, my hours are flexible. This means I'll be consistently available for all critical routines, including morning and evening feedings, extended evening companionship, and bedtime potty breaks. I specialize in caring for independent, calm dogs who are perfectly happy to nap and relax on their own for a few hours while I'm in a session. If you provide me with a list of rules and instructions, I am happy to comply. I am good at improvising in certain situations where I'm confused and can remain calm. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own, treating it with the utmost respect and care.
“Overall Sierra was great. She was very communicative and was willing to sort of modify what a normal visit would look like since I have pretty shy and anxious cats.”
About: I have taken care of a family pet for over 8 years and helped with friends and cousins pets as well! I have a gentle yet firm approach and comfortable with dogs from 5 pounds to 99 pounds. I work from home 3 days a week and my schedule allows for flexibility with dogs of various breeds and sizes! I am available for most services and happy to discuss any not listed on a case-by-case basis. I do not have a yard myself and I am well prepared to care for dogs in apartments, houses, or any other homes regardless of yards or not.
“Lina is extremely attentive and caring towards our pets. Even our usually shy kitty has learned to come and greet her at the door. We feel at ease leaving our pets knowing they are in the best hands!”
“Alexis is the ultimate cat sitter you could ever hope for. Our Kitty Baxter loves spending time with her and she is super responsible, forward thinking, and sends the BEST photos. We always feel like we are in excellent hands when she is visiting Baxter. We recommend her without hesitation.”
About: What sets me apart is that I truly treat every pet as if they were my own. I grew up with two dogs and have years of hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I've cared for family members' dogs, including senior dogs with health conditions that required administering daily medications and providing extra patience and attention. I've also helped care for friends' young puppies, reinforcing potty training, maintaining routines, and giving them plenty of playtime and affection. I understand how important consistency, communication, and trust are when leaving your pet with someone else. Whether your pet needs an energetic walking buddy, a calm companion, or a little extra care due to age or medical needs, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Also I WORK FROM HOME, makes day caring for your little ones easier. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. I work from home!! This helps with me being able to give your little one all the care and attention they need, so you can have peace of mind. I have a pet friendly condo where there are plenty of dog spots to walk and play with your loved one. I can crate a schedule around what they’re used to.
About: I am very reliable, open, and patient. I have grown up with dogs of all sizes, cats, and even a lizard! I am an active individual who enjoys time outside. I am a teacher looking for additional income that fits with my work schedule. I am open to chat about what you and your family need! I care for pets in clients homes. I treat all pets like my own, treating them with patience and kindness. I always intend to build trust between myself and the animals I interact with. I have experience with senior dogs as well.
“Megan and Erin always take such good care of Beau and he loves them too! We know our pup is in great hands when they watch him or visit him! Would recommend to anyone! They also have a very sweet pup, Biscuit, who also gets along with our dog and is super friendly!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Jefferson
We had booked Juan for four days to watch our cat. Unfortunately, a storm caused us to have to cancel our trip after the first day. Juan worked with us and Rover on how to move forward. On that one day we had his services, he was very communicative, sent photos and videos playing with our cat, and overall checked off all our boxes. Excellent experience working with him!
Joaquin was great! He was super accommodating about changing my cat's feeding plan after her automatic feeder disconnected from the internet while I was gone, which I really appreciated. I was also grateful that he took the initiative to clean up hairballs while I was gone - with three cats, I was expecting to come back to a lot of cleaning, so this was a really nice bonus. I'd definitely rehire him
Ni is amazing and super thorough with all the visits! She sent us plenty of pictures, including pictures of tasks being completed so you get a peace of mind. She is very patient and so good with all of them, our cats loved her, including our skittish girl. We have 3 cats and some of the instructions are not as straightforward but Ni followed them perfectly! Will definitely book her again for our future trips ☺️
We had a wonderful experience with our dog sitter Aliso and felt completely comfortable knowing our dog and cat were in such caring hands. She was attentive, dependable, and treated our dog and cat with genuine love and kindness. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Patricha did a great job taking care of my cats. She took time and effort to gain their confidence and play with them. She was reliable and timely with her visits and great about following directions for feeding, etc. She went above and beyond to leave things neat and clean. She was great about communicating, and that freed me from worrying. When I came home, I found my cats relaxed and happy. Very grateful, and would hire her again (and hopefully will).
Sophia was amazing and very communicative. She is very perceptive about the needs of your pets and has a natural ability to make the pups feel like everything is still business as usual, even without the owners being present. Our boys loved her and we came home to happy pups! I will definitely be booking with her again!

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.
