About: I've had dogs and cats for years. I have friends in the animal rescue business, so I've also fostered animals in the past as well. I'd love to meet your crew and take care of him/her/all of them while you are away. Thanks for thinking of me with such an important job! I currently work from home and am available for drop-in visits during the day, evenings or weekends. I'm usually able to work around my day job, and will try to accommodate your needs. My home is a pet-friendly environment. Currently, I have a dog (who loves everyone), and 3 cats. Dogs are welcome in my house, but cats here might be an issue. However, I'd love to watch those kittens at your place. Dogs are always a treat too!

About: I have been around dogs since I was born. My parents have always had at least one dog running around the house, and I now have one myself that lives with me! Layla has gotten me through some tough times and with that being said I know how important dogs (and cats) are in our lives. I would love to be a sitter, walker, and caregiver to anyone's furry necessity! I am a full time student! Which means that I usually have school all week! I am free after 5pm every day of the week and on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays all day! I have my 3 year old dog named Layla that is very friendly to all dogs! She is playful and loves to meet new friends! I walk her 3-4 times daily because I don't have a fenced yard. This will also be the case if I am boarding a dog! If your dog is crate trained I have a medium sized crate that they can sleep in overnight! I am open to walking as often as needed and will follow routines to a tee! I also live with my boyfriend as a heads up! He is lovely pet owner and loves my girl like she is his own!

“Highly recommend as Katherine is trustworthy, was always on time for the walks and provided images and status updates. Our dog is not an easy dog (lots of anxiety with new people) and Katherine did an amazing job and was clearly patient. She gave us very clear communication throughout the entire process and we were extremely happy with the services provided.”

About: I have had pets as far back as I can remember. They are family to me. I dog-sit and cat-sit for my daughter regularly. I've rescued many cats and a few dogs here and there. I'll move a turtle from the road. I let bugs out of the house. You get the idea. ​I work full time during the day, but I would love to help with pet care during evenings and weekends. I'm highly active, love walking dogs, and can easily build pet care into my routine outside of standard business hours. I prefer to come to your house for pet sitting and walking but am willing to pet sit at my place if necessary. Food and water of course but I will also talk, walk, and play with them as needed.

About: Animals have always been present in my life as I have always had dogs (and more!) in my home. I spent the last ten years managing a farm rescue site that allowed me to care for equine, goats, pigs, cats, ducks, chickens and more. The position allowed me to learn quite a bit about caring for the animals welfare, as well as learning about the various animal behaviors and their unique ways they communicate and live together as one big farm family. With 15+ years of animal care of all sizes, including small caged pets, I am comfortable and experienced with special needs, medication dispensing, as well as senior care. Pet care has always been the focus of my daily routine. Having personal pets as well as formally managing an equine and farm animal rescue site for ten years, caring for animals and having them accompany me through my every day life is just natural for me. Establishing trust with animals and prioritizing their safety are the elements of care that I focus on as an animal caretaker. Fenced yards and doggie doors at my home allow my dogs freedom and safety. Respecting schedules and routines when visiting clients of pets at other homes is another focus as it reduces potential stress on others pets. Pet care, allowing owner peace of mind is a top priority.

Sarah is a great sitter! She was also able to accommodate a meet and greet and a check-in on pretty short notice. She was also very sweet with our cat and left great notes and photos on the Rover card that showed he was happy and comfortable with her. I know our cat would love to see her again!

Kim is always awesome with our cat Mateo! We were extra thankful this time when she accepted a last minute request the week before we were heading out of town. She rolled with a food change for our buddy and took excellent care of him, as always. We are very thankful to have someone we trust and who Mateo loves. He is picky about people but he curled up in her lap when she was here. Thanks Kim!

Laine has been so great! We needed a new dog sitter last minute for our 1 y/o golden retriever and she was able to accommodate our schedule immediately! Communication with her has been so quick and easy, she is very responsive, she is so sweet, and our dog loves her! We've even talked with her already about possibly boarding! You can tell she loves dogs which is something I want in whoever watches our fur baby. We will definitely keep using Laine as long as she is dog sitting!

Jasmine was great with our senior dog while we were out of town! She was punctual, patient, and sent regular updates and photos. Our dog is blind and very arthritic, and he needs a little extra TLC--I felt very confident that he was in good hands with Jasmine. I highly definitely recommend her!

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.
