“Jessica was great with our three dogs. One of them is pretty skittish and she was patient with her, as it can be difficult to get her to come out of her crate when someone she doesn’t know well is letting her out. She was also very thorough on our meet and greet and took notes which I appreciated. I will definitely use her again in the future.”
“My dogs loved her immediately! A wonderful, professional- couldn’t have asked for more. Pictures and check ins. My dogs were happy when I got home well taken care of.”
“Hannah was wonderful with our dog. She had great communication and she also was able to come last minute when our other sitter canceled. I will definitely be requesting her again!”
“James was great! He immediately boded with my cat Simba and took excellent care of him in the drop-in visits. Lots of pictures and chat for each visit, Thank you James!”
“My family used for 3 pop in visits to our home. She fed and did potty breaks every 4 hours for our great dane and beagle. She did a meet and greet before hand to get information and see the dogs. She even dropped off a piece of clothing at my request so our dogs would be used to her scent. I was very pleased with the service and will be using her again to watch our fur babies in the future. This was during the holidays.”
About: I’m a pet parent to 4 dogs of various sizes and 1 cat, so I’m very comfortable caring for animals with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have 13 years of experience working with pets of all ages, including seniors and special‑needs pets with clear instructions. I work full time Monday through Friday, so my availability is 5 PM–10 PM on weekdays, with open availability on weekends. I’m happy to provide treats with your approval, and I prefer traveling to your home so your pet can stay in a familiar environment. Baths can be given upon request. I do not trim nails or hair since I’m not certified for grooming. If your pet has special routines, medications, or accommodations, I’m more than willing to follow them. Feel free to reach out anytime — I’m always happy to answer questions and help you feel confident about your pet’s care. I currently work full-time in the medical field. I’m able to provide weekend care and minor drop in and walks during the week day. I have several pets at home. If your pet does well around other animals I will be able to house them for a few days. I’m available for dog walking all weekend. Limited availability during the week.
“Caitlin was fantastic! I wanted to meet with her prior to booking so she could meet Ben and she came twice to do that. Ben is very timid and in foster care with me to hopefully stay. Caitlin was patient with Ben and she made him comfortable! He hid the first 2 days and then just wanted her attention and love. She gave it to him. My home was just like I left it and Ben was well cared for while I was away. I highly recommend Caitlin.”
“Always have a great experience. I travel at very strange times often with about 3 hours notice. Never had an issue with response time, ability to come by or treatment of my sweet Zoe girl. Thank you!”
About: My name is Alexandra. I have 3 Chihuahuas. I also have a 17 year old dachshund. My pups are my world! My little fur babies as I like to call them. I absolutely love dogs. My whole life I have been an animal lover. I have 20 years plus years experience with dogs. I've never met a dog that didn't like me. My Schedule is very flexible. I am available is for walks and in home sitting/day visits. I can not do overnight visits. Please don't haste to contact me if you have any questions and concerns. Thank you for you time and I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your little fur babies! Have a wonderful day! Alexandra My schedule is open. Depending on when care is needed depends on how often I will come and how long I can stay. 24 / 7 I provide a safe, loving environment for pets to enjoy and feel comfortable in. Lots of pets and companionship will be provided for your loved one.
About: I’m already someone who loves being home, going on peaceful walks, and keeping things cozy, so adding a furry friend to the mix just makes everything better. I treat pets like little VIP guests and I make sure they get plenty of attention, affection, and a routine that feels calm and predictable for them. I always try to match whatever your pet is used to so they feel safe and comfortable. If I’m watching your pet in your home, I keep their routine exactly how you have it. They will have their meals on time, daily walks, play breaks, and plenty of cuddles. I’m very detail-oriented, so I pay attention to the small things like their favorite toy, how they like to be greeted, or where they prefer to nap. If I’m caring for them in my home, they get a clean, cozy environment, lots of love, and a peaceful space to relax. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or somewhere in between, I adjust to what makes them feel happiest. I genuinely treat every pet like they’re my own and give them spoiled-in-a-good-way kind of love. I’m patient, observant, and good with pets who may be a little shy or anxious. I have a patient personality and animals tend to trust me quickly. I’m also extremely reliable and communicative, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing. I’ve cared for a variety of pets from rambunctious puppies to senior dogs. I tailor my care to each pet’s personality and needs.
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of my pups. They are my family and knowing you were taking such great care of them while I was away was such a relief! Thank you again!!”
About: I absolutely love all animals!! I have a Beagle that is great with other dogs and children! I work from home and have a large fenced yard that dogs love! I am ready and available to host your pups for overnight needs or come walk your dog(s) so that you can focus on other needs! If I host your dog overnight, I prefer a housetrained pup but am flexible with that. Expect lots of pictures while your furry family member is here ! I work from home so will be home throughout the day, with the exception of short errands runs. If your pupper needs a crate, please feel free to bring one! Large fenced yard for lots of outdoor time. I have dog beds throughout the house for sleeping, and dogs beds outside for lounging and sunbathing!
“Rosie was quickly responsive to my last minute request, was prompt, sent pictures, and communicated a concern that helped make her care the best for our Natty. Thank you, Rosie!”
About: I’ve taken care of family friends and neighbors pets before and I also work at a kennel part time so I have experience with many different types of dogs! I’m currently working part time, so I can easily fit boarding or walks into my schedule! I can take care of boarding throughout the week, I would just have to let them out early in the morning before going to work for a couple of hours! I will do whatever the client is comfortable with their dog doing! I believe it’d be best to keep up the same schedule as if the owners were still home, if possible.
“Best sitter you can ask for. Shemoy would drop in for a visit to check on my babies. She’d make sure they got exercise, cleaned any messes, and sent the cutest photos on her way out. 10/10 would recommend!”
“Stephanie was AMAZING!! She made us feel so comfortable. She was so prompt with check-in and updates. Our dog has seizures and she was knowledgeable and willing to accommodate that! 12/10 recommend”
About: Hi! I’m Alicia (I go by my middle name) and I’m an animal lover who has had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember. I’ve owned dogs for the last 16 years, and I truly can’t imagine a home without them. I currently share my life with Cruz and Azalea, 8-year-old litter mates who originally came to me as foster puppies through a local rescue. I quickly became a proud “foster fail” after falling completely in love with them! My dogs are my family, and the best part of my day is winding down together, all cuddled up on the couch. There are no children in our home, so visiting dogs receive plenty of calm, consistent attention, affection, and companionship. Whether your pup needs a cozy place to stay, a reliable sitter, or someone who understands the little things that make dogs feel safe and happy, I’m here to help. I treat every dog like my own and will make sure your furry family member feels right at home. I maintain personal liability coverage specifically for pet sitting. Since I have a small dog in my home, dogs over 40lbs will be considered on a case by case basis. A meet and greet is required for all dogs over 40lbs. I work full-time in the office, with occasional telework days. Fortunately, my office is only ten minutes from home, so I’m able to come back each day during my lunch break to let the dogs out for a potty break and some playtime. My husband is a self-employed electrical contractor, and there are times when he’s home while I’m at work. When either of us is home, the dogs are taken out at least every two hours. We have a fully fenced yard and two friendly pups of our own. Because they experience a bit of separation anxiety, our dogs relax in their kennels when no one is home. For that reason, I ask that any dogs staying with us are crate trained as well. Crates are only used when the house is empty. Otherwise, all dogs are free to enjoy the home and make themselves comfortable.
“Torrie is amazing with my dog, Boston. She is always very communicative and sends photos with updates. Highly recommend and will definitely be requesting services in future!!”
“Kathleen again gave us peace of mind as we went to visit family! Katu now knows Kathleen as well as she knows him. I recommend highly Kathleen as she is a natural with animals. Katu is now 17 years young!”

James was wonderful, flexible and a joy to work with! Our two cats seemed to have loved him and he was very flexible with our tumultuous schedule, despite having to reschedule and change our original booking drastically. James was also extremely responsive and he brings a really good energy. We had no issues and would love to have James petsit our cats again!
Jazmine has watched our dogs and kitten 3 times now and each time she’s done amazing and gone above and beyond for them we truly appreciate her and are very comfortable leaving our pets with her knowing they are in good hands! She’s so sweet and very accommodating. If you are thinking about booking her please do she’s awesome!

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 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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 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.
