“Sydney is fantastic! She is knowledgeable, trustworthy and reliable - very important characteristics for someone coming into our home and caring for our pets. My husband and I were hesitant to hire someone we didn’t know, but it turned out to be a great decision and I feel very fortunate to have connected with Sydney. She was great with both our dog and cat, and followed all instructions during twice weekly visits over the past two months. Our pets look forward to future visits with Sydney!”
“Charis was absolutely incredible!! She made us feel so comfortable with leaving our kitties for the first time. She was so quick to reply and sent so many pictures of the cats during her drop in visits and i could tell they felt safe and comfortable around her! She took very great care of our pets and I will absolutely book her again!”
About: I have grown up around dogs and used to own a German shepherd that I held primary responsibility for. I have also helped friends with dog walking and have cared for dogs of almost all ages. I am a full time student at a community college. My classes are short and only Monday through Wednesday. I also work a part-time job currently but I only work short hours.This mean I have almost full availability all week to care for your pet. I am easily able to follow instructions if they are given and I am able to recognize animal behavior for both dogs and cats as well as being flexible to provide for their needs.
“Cannot say enough positive things about Ailen!! She has helped us out with our boy Ziggy twice on short-notice, and has given him impeccable care each time. We will definitely reach out again!”
About: I’ve been a dog sitter since I was 10, neighbors relied on me to feed and walk their pets. We’ve had dogs in our family for twenty years. I’m experienced with large and small dogs as well as dogs with seizures and heart problems. Hi! I’m a part-time employee with a flexible schedule, which means I have plenty of time during the day for drop-ins, walks, or snuggles with your pup. I also welcome overnight guests, so whether you need quick check-ins or extended care, I’ve got you covered. Your pets will get lots of love, attention, and play while you’re away! I have a fenced in yard that will keep your fur babies safe. I live on a culdasac that has limited traffic and a neighborhood with beautiful areas to walk along the sidewalk. I typically walk my goldens 1.5 miles a day. I have a baby gate that prevents the dogs from going upstairs if needed, and another gate at the stop of the stairs to prevent them from going down if stairs are a problem for your fur baby. Dogs are like people in our home, always with us, cuddling on the couch and sleeping in our rooms. I crate trained my dogs as puppies and am familiar and comfortable with crates if one is dropped off.
About: I’ve had animals all my life! When I was 9 we had 3 cats, 4 dogs, a parrot and an aviary of small birds. Over the years I’ve taken care of all sorts of breeds from Chihuahuas to Labradors. Currently I have a semi-reactive pitbull rescue so I’m very sensitive to any special interaction needs. I work from home so my schedule is incredibly flexible. I can pop in pretty much anytime for walks or visits, and overnight care on weeknights is no problem. I can be in your home with your furry one as much or as little as you’d like. Whether they’re couch potatoes or avid walkers, I’m there to keep them occupied, loved and fed (occasionally with some homemade treats).
“I adopted Rachel, a 14-year-old mini dachshund, last October. She’s deaf and mostly blind and she needed special TLC while I attended my nephew’s wedding on Saturday. I met Gina in person when she came for the first visit. She was a lovely person and I immediately felt very comfortable with leaving Rachel in Gina‘s care! Gina came for two separate visits. She made friends with her as soon as she came in the door. Rachel is a very gentle dog and because she has the handicaps I did not want to leave her alone all day. Gina also provided me with two lovely pictures of Rachel outside and eating her food. Rachel was fine when I came home and I’m so glad that Gina was able to take care of her for me. I was able to enjoy my nephew‘s beautiful wedding knowing that Rachel had Company and Care. I will definitely use Gina again and I I would recommend Gina to anyone who needs someone to give their pet real TLC!”
“Shelby did a great job with our pups. We will definitely use her again. I highly recommend her for anyone else looking for someone to take care of and love their pups.”
“Cheney was an excellent caretaker of my cat, and was very responsive to messages and directions. I came home to a happy pet and felt good that she had someone attentive looking after her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was about nine or 10 years old, less in the caregiver since until I was an adult, I now have two dogs and love them dearly. I also enjoy working for Wag!, which I have worked for almost 10 years on and off with a perfect five star rating in many many great reviews. my daily routine includes taking care of a my older dogs, and my cat. I include them in all my plans to make sure they are always taken care of. I always consider them as an extension of the family and their needs are always my priority. I tried to tackle things head on and make sure that their needs are met before my own.
“Like always Katie is the best for our doggies. They love her, she loves them. We love it when she drops in for a walk and feed them. We leave our dogs at home with peace of mind when Katie comes over.”
“This was our first experience using Rover & I’m so thankful that we were matched up with Rachel! I can’t imagine having a better experience! Rachel is so trustworthy & caring & I really appreciated the regular updates, pictures, & videos of all my kitties. One of our cats has cancer so we were initially hesitant to go out of town but we never worried even for a second bc she had it all under control! I would recommend Rachel to anyone needing a reliable pet sitter & would not hesitate to use her again. Thank you for taking care of our kitties!”
About: I’m experienced with a variety of dog breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes! I have had experience for all my life, growing up with dogs and being the go to dog sitter/walker for all my friends and family. I work a 9-5 so my routine for dogs would be weekends, weekdays morning and afternoon. I’m able to take lunch breaks for mid days walks. Depending on service the dogs get premium care, attention and play. If I’m working I’ll make sure I can either work from home or take breaks so pups aren’t left alone for long. Proper feeding is important to me as some dogs require specific feeding/medicines, and treats. I’ll accommodate to whatever needs you and your pups have!
“Samantha has been taking care of my pups for a few weeks now while I’m away and she is wonderful. She is very professional, keeps a regular schedule with visits and dog walks. I would recommend Samantha to everyone except I’m selfish and want her all to myself. All Kidding aside, she is the best. Lots of attention and love to the puppies in her care.”
About: I live on a farm and I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for 15 years. I feed my dogs and cats daily clean runs and take my dogs out for potty breaks. Lastly I always give my dogs and cats extra love. I work part time at Five Below right now but still have extra time in my week. I can work weekends and before any holidays. I’m available for dog sitting and dog walking. I am open to working anytime whenever I have a day off work or when I have a free time! I have open dog kennels available, one very friendly dog, a dog yard that’s fenced, and dog equipment like leashes and other things that are needed for dogs.
About: I love taking care of animals. I know taking care of pets and balancing a job can be hard, so I’m happy to help. I’m currently in school and have lots of time to spend with your pets! I also do not have a pet of my own so I’m excited to get my fulfillment of all this doggie love from all of you!! I will be working part time and in school, so I have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks or even watch them for a weekend get away! I will make sure to maintain your regular schedule and follow all instructions you have for the care of your pet. I will pour all my love into the care of your animal.
About: I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember, and I’ve spent my whole life caring for them. Being the primary caregiver for my own family pets has given me a deep understanding of their needs, personalities, and behaviors. Over the years I’ve raised and cared for dozens of animals, including abandoned kittens that I bottle‑fed from a few days old. These experiences taught me patience, problem‑solving, and how to stay calm and capable in all kinds of situations. I’ve also provided pet care for family friends, neighbors, and coworkers, giving me hands‑on experience with many different breeds, ages, and temperaments. Caring for animals is something I genuinely love, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is always to make them feel safe, understood, and comfortable while you’re away. I currently work part‑time on weekends while attending college full‑time throughout the week, which gives me plenty of flexibility in my schedule. I’m available for morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can easily adjust my routine to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and consistency they need. I’m reliable, communicative, and always make pet care a priority. I live on 6+ acres with plenty of space for dogs to explore and enjoy, but my yard is not fenced, so all outdoor time is always supervised for safety. I have a friendly Great Pyrenees named Lily and a cat named Willow, who I bottle‑fed and raised from a kitten. They’re both very sweet, but I can keep my pets completely separate from yours if needed to make sure everyone feels safe and comfortable. Your pet’s safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to their behavior, keep a controlled environment, and follow any routines or rules you prefer. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with caution, love, and respect.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs, and cats for over 12 years. Dog whisperer and cat whisperer that wins them over every time. Love animals! I work remote and have plenty of time to take care of animals during my breaks. I’m available at any given time working from home. I take dogs on 15- 30 minutes, play, and cuddle. Cats love me because I love all their different personalities and know how to act accordingly

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.
