“My dog is my BABY, so I am very picky with who I leave him with. I could not recommend Ariana more! She did AMAZING with my dog. She did drop in visits twice a day for 4 days while I was out of town. She walked him, feed him, took him on two walks a day and played fetch! She was so sweet to my dog and I could tell he was very comfortable with her. I got multiple pictures during each visit and a report cards of potty breaks/eating and drinking! Ariana took away the stress of being away from my boy. I have a Cat as well who is pretty self sufficient and has an automatic food dispenser so I told her she didn’t have to worry about taking care of him too; but she still gave him love and sent me pictures so I knew he was doing good! She watched my dog over the 4th of July weekend; I was worried about him being scared of the fireworks.. and she made a courtesy check in !!!!!!!!! She went out of her way (something I didn’t pay her for) just to make sure my dog felt safe and comfortable during the fireworks; which put me at ease. On the last day of her watching my dog, she had already made her stop for the day; I later noticed the AC at my house got shut off, she made another courtesy stop just to turn my AC back on so my dog didn’t get too hot!!! Her service is exceptional and I with DEFINITELY be booking with her in the future when I go out of town! Thank you SO much Ariana, I truly appreciate how sweet and amazing you were to my babies! Thank you for taking such great care of them and making both them and me feel so comfortable!!!!”

“As a Rover sitter myself, I’m picky about who takes care of my dogs. Sofia did a great job!! She communicated with me very well about how they behaved during the visit, which I really appreciated since both my pups are pretty shy. She really went above and beyond to make them comfortable and make sure they went potty. At the meet and greet, she even got some tail wags from my shyer pup - who doesn’t take to people super well - so I felt very comfortable leaving them in Sofia’s hands!”

About: I have cared for dogs and other pets all my life and know how important it is for our pets to have consistent, loving, and dependable care. I treat every pet in my care like a cherished family member. My goal is to ensure your pets feel safe, happy, and completely comfortable in their own home while you are away. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages and energy levels. I know that every pet has a personality, from puppies who need to release that extra energy to older dogs that need extra patience and attention. I have personal, hands-on experience caring for aging pets and those navigating complex health journeys, including cancer. I am fully comfortable administering oral medications (pills and liquids) with a gentle, patient touch. Puppy Patience & Guidance: While not a commercial trainer, I have successfully raised and trained multiple puppies over the decades using consistent, loving, and positive reinforcement. In-Home Comfort & Security: By focusing exclusively on house sitting, drop-in visits, and walks, I keep your pets in their familiar environment—minimizing stress and giving you total peace of mind. I look forward to helping you have peace of mind and giving your special pet the companionship, cuddles and play (or simple, calm routine) they need while you're away. My schedule is flexible so I am able to adapt to your pet’s routine. Whether they need early morning walks, midday check-ins, or overnight companionship, I have the time and dedication to make sure they get unhurried, attentive care every single day. I try to adjust my daily routine to mirror yours as closely as possible, keeping your pets on their familiar schedule for meals, play, and bedtime. Because I don't host pets in my home, my focus is entirely on keeping yours safe and comfortable in theirs. Your peace of mind and your pet’s safety are my absolute highest priorities. When you trust me with your home and your beloved pets, I take that responsibility seriously, ensuring a secure, stress-free experience from start to finish. Meet & Greets: Before any booking, I always meet with you and your pets in person. This ensures your pet feels comfortable with me, lets us review their unique routines, and allows us to establish your exact communication preferences. Meticulous Home Security: I am thorough when it comes to securing your home. You never have to worry: I double and triple check every door, lock, and gate before leaving your property. Consistent Communication & Photos: You will never be left wondering how your pet is doing. I send updates and photos with every single visit, keeping you fully in the loop so you can relax while you are away. Safety First on Every Walk & Visit: Decades of pet ownership mean I am always alert to surroundings, keeping dogs on a secure leash, monitoring for potential hazards, and giving your pets the calm, vigilant attention they deserve.

About: I have worked as a pet bather during winter break during my time in undergrad, and I truly loved being able to work with different breeds and sizes of dogs. For personal experience, dogs have always been a big part of my life since I was born! I didn’t grasp the concept of what it’s like to actually care for a dog until I was in elementary school but since then I’ve always cared for every dog I’ve had and every dog my family member has had. I’m currently on summer break from OT school, so I have more than enough time to care for your pets! I am available on the weekdays and weekends from 7a-3p, so feel free to reach out! I have two male Shih-tzu’s one is 5 and the other is turning 13! I love them very dearly! I ensure that they are up-kept with their grooming services, vaccinations, and fresh food and fresh water! They love car rides and walks from time to time when the weather isn’t too hot

About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs of different ages, sizes, and needs. I have a 15-year-old pitbull, a 6-year-old chihuahua, and a 4-year-old shih tzu, so I’m very familiar with everything from senior care to high-energy small breeds. Caring for a senior dog has taught me patience, attentiveness, and the importance of sticking to routines and monitoring comfort levels. I also have experience administering medication to my own dogs, so I’m comfortable following medication schedules and specific care instructions carefully and responsibly. Because I care for my own dogs every day, I truly understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet. I treat every animal like family and provide loving, reliable, and detail-oriented care to ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I already care for my own three dogs every day. I am a full-time college student, but most of my classes are remote, which gives me a very flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around pet visits, walks, feeding schedules, and any special care needs. Since I spend a lot of time at home for school, I’m able to provide consistent attention, companionship, and supervision. I’m comfortable managing my time responsibly and making sure pets receive the care and routine they’re used to. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I intentionally build my schedule to ensure I can be dependable and present. For drop-in visits, I focus on keeping pets comfortable and sticking closely to their normal routine. During each visit, I provide feeding (if needed), fresh water, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of attention. If medication is required, I carefully follow instructions and timing. I also make sure the space stays clean and secure before leaving. For walks, I prioritize safety, exercise, and positive interaction. I adjust the pace and distance based on the dog’s age, energy level, and comfort — whether that’s a slower walk for seniors or a more active walk for high-energy dogs. I always ensure proper leash handling and awareness of surroundings. After every visit or walk, I provide updates and photos so owners feel informed and reassured. My goal is to make each pet feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: Hi, my name is Saella! Growing up, I have always had a love for animals and grew up around them, having 6 family dogs that I had helped to care for. My most recent care experience with dogs were for 14-16 year old dachshunds that had special needs. I also had the privilege and trust to foster a cat, Oppo, until he could be found a new forever home. When caring for animals, it’s important to treat them with care and as if they were my own. If you have questions or anything that you would like to discuss with me, please do not hesitate to reach out! I understand wanting to make sure your fur baby is properly loved and cared for. I am currently a full-time grad student. I’m most available on weekends, but depending on the time of day, I can be flexible. If you have questions, please feel free to reach out :) I hope to provide a safe and caring environment for your fur baby. I generally try to engage with your pet in play or some enrichment activity. I am most comfortable with additional considerations for pet safety based on what you feel is best for you and your family.

Mckenzie went above and beyond for the care of our cats. One of the cats needed medicine, which she applied every day. At one point we had an ant infestation that got into their food and she went above and beyond to help us and the cats take control of the situation. She was a pleasure to meet and she was so kind to our cats that they ended up giving her lots of love every visit. We would give her 10 stars if it was possible.

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.

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 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.
