“Lauren has a way with cats! Even my shy boy, who's afraid of anything new, came out to say hello. I really enjoyed seeing the photos of the cats interacting with her. I recommend her highly!”
“Alysha is the best! This has been a busy out of town season for us as we travel frequently to watch our daughter compete at college swim meets. Alysha has been there for us and we could not be more thankful for her care of Lola while we are away.”
“Nikki was awesome! I love that she wanted to meet my cat first to make sure it was a good match for both of them. She was very knowledgeable about how to interact with my cat. During the drop-in visits, she took care to read the instructions I left and use the information to interact with my cat, including brushing him which he always enjoys. She left detailed report cards. I will 100% be a repeat customer! Thank you for taking such good care of my cat while I was away, Nikki!”
“Cara did an excellent job with my three animals. I even have an oddity, a miniature pot bellied pig, and she did great with her. She sent pictures with each visit and you can tell she played with them. I came home to very happy animals.”

Thank you Shannon for your exceptional care and trusting nature.”

About: I have always had a dog in my house growing up, so i understand the basics of dog care. Currently I work at a dog daycare. I've been working there for 2 years and it has helped me understand more about dog behaviors, and care for them efficiently and effectively. Before that I volunteered at the Jefferson Humane Society for 3 years helping clean out animal cages/rooms and providing affection to all the rescued animals. I'm looking for extra work during the summer in between my internship and job. Internship is 3 days a week, job is 2. So I don't have a bunch of time but I do have some open hours where I can do dog walks and some daycare shifts. I have a lot of experience with a variety of dogs and their behaviors. I can create dogs when needed and can walk dogs without any issues.
About: I grew up with 2 labs the oldest being 15 and have cared for them since they were puppies! My dog Shadow was a duck hunting dog for many years before retiring and Hanna is a spoiled queen who likes to lay her head on human pillows. I love being active and walking dogs not only helps me but them as well. I love being able to take my dogs when I go hiking in parks. The dog park is where I love to take Hanna and throw the ball for her, it’s an insane obsession. Both of my dogs have had surgery, in the past one for tearing her ACL while hunting and getting them spayed. I have taken care of them during post surgery and have picked them up, done follow ups, and given them medication. Phoebe my Great Dane is the newest addition to my family and is a sweet heart and enjoys walks and couch time too! My dogs are my entire life and I would love the opportunity to care for many more. I currently work full time Monday through Friday 7am-3:30pm. I do have 3 dogs that I currently take care of in my home so I would be back and forth between places. I’m able to easily walk your dog, give medication and give any assistance for disabilities. I am also comfortable helping dogs post surgery as well.
About: My family and I truly enjoy watching other family’s animals. It allows us to help families not worry about their pets when they are not able to take care of them. I’m a full time teacher, so I have quite a bit of flexibilities during the summer time. I am available to board during the school year as well. I am available after 3:30 to tend to animals during the school year. I have a fenced in back yard and take our own dog for a walk daily. We have one dog, 2 cats, and one hamster. They are all very friendly.
About: I've had dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes over the last 3 decades. Currently, I have two pups—Aggie and Parker, 4 and 12 years old. I am an animal person and don't mind any part of running, walking, or cleaning up after them. I have experience with training animals and always prioritize your rules and ways of taking care of your fur baby. I work remotely from home, along with my husband. There is always someone at home, it's rare for us both to be out at the same time. We have experience in dog sitting dogs with anxiety or co-dependency (our own dog has anxiety) so we do our best to alleviate any stress your pup may have while you are gone, and in addition, can send as many photos as you need of them while they stay with us! Bonus: I'm a professional photographer, so you may get some pretty cute snaps. :)

Tori was absolutely fantastic! She jumped in to help last minute when I unexpectedly adopted a dog and even came the same day to meet so she knew where everything would be. I'm so grateful for her flexibility and support. Communication was fantastic and she adapted to my new dog's needs. Highly recommend!

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 .

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.
