“First time using this using this app. I had some last minute things come up on a holiday weekend and was very fortunate to come across Katherine. She is so responsive and flexible, she come over to get squinted with my animal the same night I placed my request and checkin during her visits and outside of here visit to make sure my animal we safe and cared for in case of any emergency. It really show how much delight she get out of this type of work and I trust her in my home and with my animals. I was very hesitant to use this type of service with someone I didn’t know and was in a dire position with no available friend to ask. Now this app/Katherine may just might be my go to for any (ideally planned in advanced 😅) time I’ll be out of town. And become of Katherine I was able be relaxed an ld worry free about my four-legged loved one at home and show up to support the people I love in a very pivotal and spiritual moment in their life and gain an experience and memories I will never forget.”
“Jessie came for a meet & greet on very short notice. She had a notebook and asked the proper questions, dogs loved her. Very happy to have found her and feel like the dogs are in good hands for their upcoming visit with her!”
“Christa was great with Murphy, our overly exuberient, female laborador retriever. She understood her body postures as fear or happy and reacted appropriately. She spent more time with her than we expected as this was just a stop by 3 times per day sitting. Would highly recommend her.”
“Kelly was very attentive to Mo and took wonderful care of him, never missing a day and always being sure to feed, play with, and clean up after my little cat child. I would absolutely trust Kelly with my little Mo again in the future.”
“Bailee was great! She cared for Roc & Cookie and spent tons of time with them. That was great since they are high energy dogs who love people. She went above and beyond and we couldn’t be happier with how Bailee took care of our fur babies!!”
“Margaret took great care of our 2 dogs while we were away for the weekend. She stayed longer than she needed to to ensure the pups had enough love and care in our absence. She communicated and shared photos often”
About: I've taken care of cats since five years ago. We have our own cat, Puffy, and also take care of our friends' cats from time to time. My two boys are both cat lovers and very helpful for taking care of cats. I'm working parttime at home, so I am at home most of the time. My schedule is very flexible and should be able to fit your needs. We have a single house, which provide plenty of space for cats to explore. We will clean the litter box every day for your cats. We also have plenty of toys for your cats to play with.
About: Ive been around pets my whole life. For as long as I can remember I’ve had dogs in my home. My family is also a rescue family so I’m very confident with many breeds and ages. We also adopt a lot of senior dogs so I’m very confident in senior care. Can’t wait to spoil your pet! I currently work part time at Plato’s Closet State College where I am a seasonal supervisor. I either work 9-5 or 1-9 but my schedule depends week to week. Reach out and we’ll figure that schedule out! Safety is very important to me. I always will monitor animals when they are outside and make sure to use proper harnesses for walks. I do not offer pets to stay in my home. When I’m home from the summer we have a very full house of animals already!
About: I've spent my life making furry and feathered friends! From doggos and horses to birds, hamsters, chickens, and even cats I've pet sat, I've loved every single one like family. I work full-time, but I'm available for pet care before and after work, as well as on weekends. I'm happy to help with walks, drop-in visits, and quality time when you need it most! I currently have one dog who is well loved and part of the family. When caring for pets in my client's home, I do my best to keep them on their normal routine-including feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, medication (if needed), and plenty of love and attention. I always respect each owner's instructions so their pets feel safe, comfortable, and happy while they're away. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own.
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life and have always had a dog growing up, so caring for pups has always come naturally to me! 🐾 Over the past 10+ years, I’ve cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. Along with helping friends, family, and neighbors, I’ve also gained even more experience through our local Facebook community by caring for pets for families in the area. I truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality! Whether your pup loves long walks, playing fetch, belly rubs, or just curling up for cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. I treat every dog like they’re part of my own family because I know how much they mean to you. Have more than one pup? No problem! My spouse is also available to help during overnight stays, so there’s always an extra set of hands to make sure each dog gets plenty of love and attention. We’re both Penn State students, which gives us lots of flexibility with our schedules and boarding in our home. That means more playtime, walks, potty breaks, cuddles, and one-on-one attention throughout the day! I can’t wait to meet you and your furry family and give you peace of mind knowing they’re in loving hands! 💕🐶 I’m currently a college student and work part-time as a babysitter, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets. Being a babysitter has taught me responsibility, patience, and the importance of providing dependable care. Whether your pet needs a walk, drop-in visit, overnight care, or boarding, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of attention, exercise, and love while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow any instructions you provide, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise routines, and house rules. I take the time to build trust with every pet and make sure they feel comfortable in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away, knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“Claire is excellent! She did a wonderful job and took care of everything that was requested and more. We really appreciate her communication and kindness! I would highly recommend Claire and would book again!”
“Emmy was fantastic with my cat 💕🐈 She was so sweet and communicative which gave me peace of mind while I was out of the country! Not to mention that my cat absolutely LOVED her from the moment she met her! Emmy made sure Cleo got quality social time, not just the basics which was exactly what I wanted. Very, very happy with this booking and cannot wait to have Emmy watch my girl again for several upcoming trips this year! Couldn’t recommend her more highly!”
“Bex was such a great first experience using Rover. She kept us connected with photos and messages letting us know how each check in went. She made our first time away from our animals super positive and will definitely use her again! Thanks Bex!”
“I highly recommend Tara as a drop in pet care person. I have three dogs, she follows my instructions, and sends me many pictures. She is punctual. I am pleased to have cross paths with Tara.”

Couldn't recommend Rachel highly enough! She took great care of my cat whilst I was away and kept in touch the whole time, had absolutely zero issues at all. She went above and beyond with things I needed help with. She made sure she was fed, had fresh water, played with her, spent time with her, and kept everything clean each day. It was clear she genuinely cared and treated her really well. If you're looking for someone reliable and thoughtful to look after your cat (or any pet) l'd definitely recommend Rachel.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Julian stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
