“What a relief to go on vacation and have Erin and Anthony watching our dog! They were always incredibly punctual and provided multiple photos with each drop-in. Erin is not afraid to text with clarifying questions instead of just assuming, which is great when our dog has medications managing a condition. Best dog sitters around!”
About: I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. My goal is to keep their routine as normal as possible while you're away, so they feel comfortable, happy, and stress-free. Whether your pet loves long walks, endless games of fetch, or simply curling up on the couch, I'll make sure they get the personalized care they deserve. More about me: • 7+ years of pet-sitting experience • Experience with dogs of all ages and energy levels • Comfortable administering medication • Frequent photo and video updates • Flexible around each pet's routine • Reliable communication from booking through pickup In addition to pet sitting, I've volunteered at a local animal shelter and have fostered several rescue dogs. These experiences have taught me how to work with dogs of different personalities, energy levels, and comfort needs. I’m available for pet sitting and drop-ins, and can provide care outside of my work hours. I work weekdays, but I'm available before and after work for walks, potty breaks, playtime, and overnight stays. I can also stop by during lunch, if needed. I’m very tidy, organized, and respectful of everyones homes, and I make sure everything is kept clean and well cared for during my stay. I carefully follow your pet's routine, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away.
“Sydney did drop in visits for my cats while I was away on a family vacation. This was the first time I had left them alone for a long time and I was admittedly nervous. I decided to try Rover because I didn't want to lock them away in a kennel for that long and preferred if they could stay at home. The whole experience was great. Sydney is very communicative and consistent which I appreciate a lot. It was such a delight having Sydney to take care of my babies while I was gone. I received daily updates with cute anecdotes and photos of their visit together and it honestly was such a delightful experience. I very much appreciate how well she took care of my cats and would absolutely book her again.”
“Cassie is so great! She took great care of my pets and was incredibly kind! I will definitely be using her services again and you should let her care for your pet too!”
“We have two large, playful, and highly energetic boy dogs, we needed a dog sitter with a special set of skills that could work with their tendencies and thanks be to God we found Jennifer M. We hope to have the opportunity to work with her again.”
“Great with my dogs as always. We look forward to having McKinzey stop in and care for my dogs. My dogs love her as well. She might be there favorite rover to date!!!”
“Anne Marie was incredible! She was timely and kept us up to date with photos and notes every time she visited with our dog. Would recommend her to anyone!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life. I currently have two cats and an axolotl! I have worked with dog and cat rescues and gained some great experience and compassion. Experienced with dogs of all breeds, Giving kitties and pups meds, feeding, special diet, walks, play time, special needs too!

“Bradley was amazing to work with. He kept our three kitties company throughout the week while we were away. Each picture he sent I could tell the kitties were enjoying him being there.”
“Nikki is our go to pet sitter for our dog Jax. She goes above and beyond every time she cares for him, my daughter’s guinea pigs, and this time I threw some chickens in the mix. We appreciate the piece of mind Nikki gives us while we are away.”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was in grad school. Mainly took care of medium to large dogs, from puppies to 10+ years old. I have a 2 year old GSP named Miles who keeps me occupied most of the time. I work 7:30-3:30 most days during the week (regular full time job). But my weekends are usually open. I do quite a few different activities to keep my little guy occupied (and I think your pup will like them too). Activities include fetch, running, hiking, some scent work, etc. I have a 7 foot tall vinyl fence that my little guys loves to play in. I mostly keep hard chew toys around and plenty of treats.
“Liesa was a wonderful drop in sitter for my fur babies. She showed up on time, followed instructions, stayed in communication and sent pictures. She was also very friendly and easy to work with”
About: I have had dogs my entire life from puppyhood to senior years! Since age 9, I have been able to be graced with having cats and now have one of my very own who gets whatever she wants. I love pets more than anything and would be honored to take care of yours just as I do mine. I currently work full time Monday-Thursday and am looking to add caring for animals into my time off through drop ins and walking! I am an avid explorer so I tend to walk several miles throughout my week and more on the weekends! I would love to drop in and see your pet to ease your worries about leaving them for work! I ensure the utmost care for my pets in my home and in others that I have cared for. I do this by having a watchful eye on them, engage them in enrichment of their choice, and love on them!
“Michelle is reliable, communicative, and wonderfully sweet to my pup. Michelle is patient with my dog's reactivity and gives me great reports on how she did on walks. Eddie gives Michelle 10/10, will play again!”

Valerie is the best!! She looks out for the dogs and their home. When our 95-lb boy drank his water too fast and proceeded to expel the contents of his stomach to the floor, she stayed behind to clean up the mess and make sure he was okay. She has been a huge blessing for us.
Alyson did an amazing job taking care of our two cats, Davinci and Snickers, while I was traveling for work. She communicated consistently and sent pictures, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She made sure they were fed, their litter box was clean, and they always had fresh water in their fountain. She also brought in my mail and spent time playing with them. I’m very grateful for the excellent care she provided and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
We have used Cassie multiple times before, but we decided to use a neighborhood kid to help with the dogs for a long weekend away this time… but he had a family emergency and couldn’t finish his commitment with very little notice. I was freaking out and 3 hours away, and messaged Cassie- she stepped right in and took over caring for the dogs with just a few hours notice. THANK YOU Cassie- you are always reliable and take great care of Petey and Dexter- we will only use you from now on!!

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.

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 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.
