“Britney took care of my cat by checking in on her and watered and fed her for 4 days and did an excellent job. She communicated with me each day with a text and a picture. She is very responsible and I will definitely use her services again. Highly recommend.”
“Stefanie was so sweet! She took great care of our two cats and spent time loving on them while we were gone. She was very understanding of their quirks and needs including with our older cat! Will definitely book her again if we go on another trip!”
“Kasie was great at helping take care of our kitties! She sent updates about her visit and also provided pictures of our cats upon her visit. She also went above and beyond to try to assist us with catching a sick stray kitten on our property.”
“Wow! What an amazing, dedicated young woman! She went past above and beyond. Our dog is a Malinois mix, and extremely territorial. Mikalah is such a dog lover, she got dog kisses on her first visit. On top of that, our dog was on at least 6 different medications. Mikalah handled this flawlessly. To make matters even more challenging, there was a HUGE snowstorm. I almost didn’t go on my trip, but Mikalah reassured me she would be there rain or snow. Schools and businesses closed, but she made it morning and night to our dog. So grateful to have found her!!!”

My goal is to keep your pet happy and maintain their routine. I'll always have my eyes on your dog whether it's at home, on a walk, or at a dog park. I also strive to keep your home how you left it though if you need a few chores done I don't mind helping out.
“This is the second time Lynlee has watched our 2 dogs! We definitely will use her again! She takes extra care in making sure they stay on their regular schedule and keeps detailed notes on their care - she is very attentive to their needs and they seem so at ease with her! We love all the updates and pictures that she sends, really puts our mind at ease knowing that they are well cared for and don’t even have to leave their home! I highly recommend her, she definitely shows that she truly cares for our pets! ❤️”

About: I’ve been caring for animals my entire life and understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs. As a registered nurse, I’m highly attentive, dependable, and comfortable monitoring for changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, or overall well-being. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, senior pets, and animals that need extra patience and attention. Whether it’s walks, playtime, medication administration, feeding, or simply providing companionship, I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own. I know how important peace of mind is when you’re away, so I provide regular updates, photos, and plenty of love and attention. My schedule is flexible and allows me to provide reliable care throughout the week. I can accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend visits depending on your needs.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life, worked at a vet clinic, learned CPR for dogs, and dabbled in training as well.

I enjoy interacting with your pet and becoming a familiar face they look forward to seeing while you’re gone! Let me love your fur babies like I do my own! I currently stay at home mostly with my daughter and my own dogs, work part time, and have a little extra time to dedicate to others who need help taking care of their pets! I want your pet to feel comfortable with me and enjoy the time I get to spend with them. I don’t mind sitting there for a while to work on earning their trust. All dogs are different and require different approaches to meet their needs. I very much enjoy getting to love on them if they let me and creating a fun environment for them while you are away. I also enjoy training basics if that is something that interests you! My favorite thing to do is bring special treats to each visit (with permission of course)!

Mikalah P. was fantastic! Her love of animals shines brightly and my lab absolutely adored her!

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.

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.
