“Valerie exceeded our expectations caring for our 13 year old dachshund. She spent ample time with him outside and ensured he ate. We enjoyed the updates with pictures which gave us confidence he was in good hands. We highly recommend Valerie and will request she care for our dog the next time we go out of town.”
“Kelli was very friendly and accommodating to our needs. She has experience with older dogs, which we appreciated. She came by for a meet and greet a few days before the appointment and our dog loved her. She took some time to get to know him and seemed to really enjoy doing it. Will definitely book her again!”
“Sarah was amazing at coming in & helping me give medications to our two cats when my husband was out of town. Great communication + on time. Would definitely choose Sarah again for any Rover needs in the future!”
“Allyson is an excellent dog sitter! She’s been wonderful with my YorkiePoo, Jamaica, while I work from home. She keeps him active and entertained throughout their time together, and it’s clear he genuinely enjoys her company. Jamaica always seems happy and well-exercised after their walks. I really appreciate how engaged and attentive she is with him. Highly recommend Allyson if you’re looking for a reliable, caring dog sitter!”
About: I had a small dog growing up, I lived with my roommates small dog for a year, and I pet sit (overnight at my house) for my friend’s Yorkie often. I am an active walker and have a yard. I live alone with no kids or other pets. I am looking to bring some reliability and loving care for your pet! I work full time Monday-Friday 15 minutes from my home, so I can come home during my lunch hour, but I work from home Tuesdays and Fridays usually. I am available for daily walks after 5pm, sitting/boarding Thursdays-Sundays. I have a clean and pet friendly 3 bedroom home and neighborhood. I have a backyard and walk daily. I can crate if needed. I will take care of all needs instructed by owners.
“Savanna did a great job taking care of my cat while I was on vacation with my family. She fed and pampered Sasha and sent me updates and pictures everyday. I highly recommend Savanna!”
“Crystal was amazing. One of my cats never comes out of hiding when I have guests, but he came out everyday for her and he even let her pet him. She sent me pictures each day. I will book her again.”
“Carly & Kendric did a fantastic job taking care of our three kitties, and last minute, I might add. One of our cats requires medicine twice a day, and they had no problem with that. They took a ton of notes, sent us a lot of photos everyday, and didn’t hesitate to text me if there were any questions, or concerns. I’m so thankful to have found reliable sitters, and will most definitely be using them again!!!”

My previous experience includes feeding, playing, walking, and training regimes like crate training and potty training.

“Cali is wonderful with our cats. She keeps us informed with daily detailed updates along with multiple pictures. We had issues with another sitter we had booked and Cali was able to step in last minute. I appreciate her flexibility and accountability. I would definitely recommend her and we plan on rebooking again in the future.”
About: As a child, I had several pet dogs. As an adult, I had two great dogs for the family. Now recently retired, I occasionally sit and dog-walk two grand dogs. As a retiree, my schedule is quite flexible. I am available any day of the week. I can walk or check in on your pet at any time during the day. I'll be consistent with your pet and alter my interaction depending on your and your pet's style. If I'm at your home, I'll treat it with great respect and leave everything as it was when I arrived.
“Lexi has been doing a fantastic job at dropping in during the day to check on my puppy. Winnie just adores having her visit- i can tell! Highly recommend Lexi for anything you need. She’s been great and i plan to keep booking her!”
“Mercedes did an excellent job taking care of our two dogs. She was able to accommodate the times we needed her to come to the house, which was so helpful. I would book with Mercedes again!”
“Susan was able to cover a very last minute late night visit for me, and took great care of my babies It was so appreciated to know they were taken care of during a 28 hour shift. Thanks so much for your flexibility and love for them!”
“This was our first time having Danielle check in on our cat, Prissy. It was great having her send pictures of Prissy and being in contact with us while we were out of town. Prissy tends to hide when new people come to visit, so I really appreciate Danielle taking the time and care in making sure Prissy was okay. It makes our trip so much better when we know Prissy will be taken care of.”

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.
