“Andrea was absolutely great! She provided us a detailed update every visit as well with many pictures. We had her watch our 2 cats and she was so sweet with them. I would definitely recommend her as a reliable sitter!”
“Rachel did a fantastic job looking after Zuko! She was super commucative throughout and always sent photos of Zuko which I greatly appreciated! Zuko can be a lot of energy and so it was reassuring to have someone like Rachel who knew how to handle him come and care. I'd definitely recommend her :)”
About: I play, enforce good behavior through positive reinforcement, and treat every animal that comes into my care with the utmost respect and love that it deserves! I mainly sit on weekends, and some weekdays depending on my weekly schedule. I take care of my own animals every day, and i love it! I treat others homes with more respect than i would my own, and will make sure to learn any needed info to take care of your animal and it’s home!
“Kaitlyn was wonderful with our 3 cats, one of whom required an eye drop at each visit! She went above and beyond keeping our floors and home tidy; was communicative and easy to work with. It was clear our kitties were well cared for🥰 Thank you!”
About: I got my first dog when I was 12. His name was Sebastion and he was literally my best friend through some tough middle school years. He lived to the ripe old age of 13 and were always together except in my college years. More recently I have been house sitting and dog-sitting for family members and friends. I can not emphasize enough how much animals are drawn to me. It's like a not-so-super-power, I'm always that guy at the party that gets trapped by the dog or cat on the couch (I say trapped but I love it!). When I’m house-sitting, I’m generally there full-time. I am recovering from sciatica at the moment so I’m not working my other job right now. Which means I will be there almost all the time to give your animals all the pets and play they can handle. I take my clients privacy very seriously. I would never invite anyone else over to your house. I am definitely on the introvert side of the personality scale, so I’m quite happy hanging out reading, binging tv and loving on animals. I sometimes joke that I like animals more than humans. I’ve been with Rover for over two years now and have some of the best metrics and reviews in the area. I’ve never had any major issues or emergencies. But, I’ve done quite a bit of research on dog and animal care and have no doubt that I could spot behavior that isn’t normal and that could be medically relevant. I would love to be your pets’ temporary human while you’re away and their forever sitter! I’m recovering from a back injury at the moment so this is my main gig. So I am available for your pets pretty much full time. I will sometimes head to my house for a few hours in afternoon but rarely more than a few hours. I'm not currently living in residences where I can board pets, landlord won't allow it. When i move, which should be soon, I will offer this service.
“Geoffrey was great for dropping in to feed and walk my dog, Duke. He was not hesitant to give him lots loving and attention, as well as administer his medicine, despite my dog’s medical issues. He even sent me lots of picture updates. I would recommend him and would book again in the future!”
“Brandy is awesome! My dogs loved her and she was available right away when I needed her. One of my dogs is very hesitant around new people and she knew exactly how to make him feel immediately comfortable. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Sierra was great!! She took great care of my pets and I had no worries leaving them in her care. She was respectful and sent updates every day. I would highly recommend and will definitely rebook with her!”
“Kinzi is refreshingly professional and dependable. She was thorough during our initial meeting which provided peace of mind while we were gone. Looking forward to hiring her again in the near future!”
“I have nothing but amazing things to say about Ashley. She was so incredibly kind, attentive, loving, responsive, and wonderful with my dogs. She knows huskies well and wasn’t worried about walking the hyper husky and chill shiba every day. I was gone for 12 days and was not once worried about leaving them in her care. She also fed my blue tongue skink and ensured it was cared for! I will for sure book with her again! She’s a gem!”
“Kristie is amazing with my cat. She’s very loving, and very detail oriented. She not only took great care of my cat but also my home. This is my second booking and I will be a regular!”
“Yuqing was absolutely wonderful to work with! She took such great care of my pets and was flexible with her schedule which we really appreciated! She gave us lots of updates and was a pleasure to communicate with.”
About: I’ve taken care of, fostered, and had dogs for the majority of my life. In my adult life I’ve only had cats of my own but love dogs all the same! I have volunteered at shelters to care for the dogs and to train them. Although I don’t have a training credential, I can train dogs to learn basic commands and walk on a leash without going crazy. I currently work from home most days as a private tutor and if I do have an in person session I’m gone for about 3 hours, give or take, in the early evening. With me being home most of the day any dog will have the company they’re used to! In other’s home I am very clean and precise with whatever instructions are given to me. In my home I make sure there’s lots of toys and treats for my own fur children and the ones I’m pet sitting. I live in an apartment and have a balcony that they can sit out on. Although I may not have a fenced yard, I'm very active and go hiking and walking and to the park often, so your furry friend will get plenty of outside time and exercise! I have 3 cats of my own that keep their distance and mind their business with dogs, so if your dog is well behaved with cats then boarding with me would be a great fit!
“Valerie is awesome! She followed instructions to a T and took such good care of our animals. She also graciously helped us with some additional tasks we needed last minute. Will definitely trust her to watch our babies again!”
About: I have over a decade of experience in pet care, so I’ve seen a lot and have dealt with a lot. I frequently foster through APA, so I’m very familiar with different personalities and triggers. I’ve managed a pack of 4 dogs with entirely different personalities and quirks, so I would say I’m pretty seasoned :) I work a hybrid schedule which allows me flexibility to bridge the gap between your schedule and your pup’s usual routine. I have trained my own dogs as well as my family’s dogs, so I will stick to your training cues. As a gen z-er, you can expect lots of pictures, videos, and updates as the day goes on. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend :) I work a hybrid job so I can be flexible with scheduling as much as needed. I will have to work around my work meetings as such but I almost always have some spots in my schedule to make mid-day visits if needed. I live in a house with a fenced yard and I can take them on long walks around the neighborhood as needed. As for your house, I will follow any and all rules to a tee.
“I'm pretty happy with the care my cat received from Deevie! She did a great job checking in on my kitty for a 2-day drop-in visit. Everything seemed to go smoothly, and my cat was happy and healthy when I got back. Deevie was communicative and sent updates, which was great. Overall, I'd definitely consider hiring them again for future cat-sitting needs.”

Brandy is truly the BEST dog walker I could ever ask for! She goes above and beyond every single time. She doesn’t just take amazing care of Lucy. She also keeps an eye on my cats and makes sure everyone is happy, safe, and taken care of while I’m away. I’m a flight attendant, so my schedule can be unpredictable and delays are just part of the job. There have been times when I’ve found out at the last minute that I’m going to be getting home much later than expected, and Brandy has dropped what she was doing and run over to my house to let Lucy out and make sure everyone is okay. I cannot even explain the peace of mind that gives me when I’m hundreds or thousands of miles away and can’t get home. I trust Brandy completely with my animals and my home, and that kind of trust is priceless. She genuinely loves and cares about my pets like they are her own. She is dependable, flexible, kind, and always there when my crazy flight attendant schedule throws me a curveball. Lucy absolutely loves her, and so do! I honestly don’t know what I would do without Brandy. If you’re looking for someone you can completely trust with your fur babies, I cannot recommend her highly enough. She really is one in a million and she’s mine!!!! ❤️🐾
Rose was a life saver! She responded so quickly when I needed help finding a new sitter in the area. I loved how experienced she was with animals as well as professional- she proposed a meet and greet first. Magnus loved her and was taken care of without me having to worry!
Michelle was perfect! Kept us informed with plenty of photos of our lil'guy, and was even open to popping by if our flight was delayed. Very thoughtful of her! She also has good energy because our kitties cat was definitely starting to warm up to her. Thanks Michelle!
Thank you thank you for watching my girl :) Taylor responded quickly to my request and was very understanding when I responded days later! In our initial meeting I knew she would take the best care of my cat because she asked great questions to really understand Stevie’s schedule. She gave daily updates with great pictures that always made me smile. I was able to travel in peace 💕
Sadie took wonderful care of my kitties! I felt especially reassured when she let me know that even my shy kitty had come out of hiding and was comfortable with her. She provided great updates throughout my trip, and I felt confident that my cats were in very good hands. I would definitely recommend Sadie!

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.
