“Brittney was professional, courteous, punctual, and friendly. I was extremely happy with the care my two cats received from her while we were out of town, and would happily book her again in the future.”
“Haley was so great with Maverick & Marley! This was our first time leaving the dogs with a sitter and it was great! Haley really took the time to get to know the dogs and she was so sweet with them! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Emily was so sweet and great with Disco! Also very much appreciate her taking his litter out, would def book again and highly recommend to anyone else looking for a sitter.”
“We were on a cruise so we were unreachable. When we got back I got all the pics and updates that Lauren sent. I’m super glad we found someone that took good care of our boys.”
“Adam was a wonderful sitter for my two rambunctious young cats. He let me know of any mischief and they warmed up to him right away. I will certainly hire Adam again when I travel.”
“Chelsea went above the bare minimum for my Reggie. Including visiting beforehand to introduce herself to Reggie, to staying longer when he was hesitant to go walking. In the end, Reggie opened up her which is a testament to her care toward him.”
“Kalee could tell I was nervous about leaving my cats for the first time. She was great - spending high quality time with them, sending me great pics. It put me at ease. I highly recommend Kalee.”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and walked dogs since I was very young. I am a great dog trainer and love to work with pups that have more behavior issues than others, and making all puppies feel comfortable. To me, all dogs, no matter the age, are puppies. Some just have more limits than others. I will work with any dog and I love to get to know and see all the babies. I am currently full time at Indiana University with flexibility in my schedule. I am available between 6:00 am and 11:00 am, then free from 3:00 pm- 10:00 PM on Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat, Sun. I am unavailable Tuesdays. Thursdays I am free from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm then 6:30 pm to 10:00 pm. Every fur baby is different, I will work with you to learn behaviors and if you would like me to put in a little training techniques. I will go slow with you pet to make sure they are comfortable with me first. I want them to know that I am there for them and ready to adjust what I am doing based on their personality.
“Matthew & Ellie were great! They included adorable notes about our kitties each day, one time specifically saying they swore Binx responded with a literal “yes” when they asked her if she was hungry haha! Would definitely have them look in on our little ones again!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have had experience with pups of all walks of life. As I got older, my friends got cats and I love a good kitty snuggle. I’m the friend that checks on the animals when you have to go out or hit up vacation! I work full time but work from home partially through the week! Usually available most weekday evenings after 5pm and would be available on set weekends for additional care beginning in the afternoons. I have a large fenced in backyard and work from home part of the week. I also have a separate area for crating, if needed. My own pup, Cricket, would love to have a buddy even now and again!
About: I have been around and loved dogs for my entire life. One of our family dogs had two litters while I was in high school and I helped take care of and raise the puppies. I also frequently pet-sat for neighbors and friends. Last year my wife and I adopted a puppy from Puerto Rico who we adore. I look forward to giving your pets the care and love they deserve! I do freelance work as a musician and dancer, so I have a fairly unpredictable schedule. Currently I am available on weekdays from 8 AM to 10 PM but I can be available on some weekends. I am happy to play with your dogs in their home or yard, to work on training as needed (our dog has been in training courses for around six months), or to do whatever else your dog will enjoy! I also enjoy walks and am happy to take your dog around the neighborhood or to nearby parks.
“Patricia took great care of our cat while we were away. She was very responsive to communication and gave us thorough reports for each visit. We really appreciate the time she took to give our cat plenty of playtime and cuddles!”
“Madison was great with our puppy, she did drop in vista. While caring for our dog, she played fetch with her while allowing her plenty of time to do her business outside. She was great with sending pictures and very responsive with text messages.”
“This the first time Daila cared for our kitties, and she did a wonderful job! She was a great communicator and all our cats were doing great when we returned from our trip.”
“Sarah saved our lives! We moved to Bloomington shortly after getting married and dont know anybody in town to watch our cats who are basically our children. She really goes above and beyond.”
About: I have been around dogs my whole life. I grew up with a dog and other pets and have lived with friends who have dogs. I am a former cat owner so I understand the importance of taking care of animals and the love and attention they need. I am willing to do some physical activity such as hikes or fun at the dog park or walk around the block. I love to play with animals. I am attentive to feeding schedules and experienced in administering oral medicine to animals as well. I think overall, I have a great ability to connect with dogs and cats and care with compassion. I am respectful of boundaries and am willing to pick up and bag poop which I know many people just do not like to do. I am an uber driver and delivery personnel so I have availability most of the time since I set my own schedule. I would be available for a normal schedule starting at 9am or 10am. I can follow protocol if dogs need to be crated, cats need high level of play in order to sleep at night. I pay attention to detail.

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.
