“Kathleen was very kind and patient with our reactive dog. She was honest with how our dog reacted to her and made sure not to push her so she didn't make her uncomfortable. We would highly recommend Kathleen.”

About: I've trained (self taught) and cared for furr babies since I was 15 and have had various pets since the age of two! I specialize in caring for canines with separation anxiety and canines with vision issues. I enjoy basic command training (self taught) and giving your pup the extra love and care needed while you're unable to be with them! I’m a professional dog sitter! This is my full time career adventure! Your pup will enjoy leaded walks, controlled environmental play time, and a cozy home (mine or yours) with all the attention your pup could want or need! I do not have a fenced in yard, but your pup will be safely walked with a lead on our two-plus acre lot or on local trails! Controlled environmental play time is offered to pups who are trained to listen off lead!

“Mason was exceptional. She allowed me to book her literally last minute and said she could visit the pups without me home (emergency work trip). She was prompt and took great care of my pups, asking me any questions she had to best care for them. She sent me plenty of pics and the pups loved her!”

“Cassandra was a wonderful sitter who is motivated to connect with any pet and make them as comfortable as possible. Her communication is excellent, and always provided detailed updates on how our pet was doing without us. She also provided photos with every visit which was extremely helpful. We would definitely reach out to Cassandra to watch our dog again!”

About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a kid and have always loved being around both dogs and cats. I have a mountain dog at home, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds, but I’ve also worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I also have a grey tabby cat and recently fostered a mom cat with seven kittens—which was an amazing and rewarding experience. I’m patient, reliable, and always treat every pet with the same care and attention I give my own. As for the rate, I listed a number on my profile, but I’m open to discussing it based on the care your pet needs. Once I understand the routine and what’s expected, we can figure out something that works for both of us. I currently work at The Cheesecake Factory in Christiana Mall, and I always make time to fit pet care into my weekly routine. Even with a busy schedule, I prioritize Rover and make sure pets get the attention they deserve. I receive my work schedule every Saturday and update my Rover availability right away, so everything stays accurate and reliable. I care for pets by making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved whether I’m in your home or theirs. I follow any specific instructions you provide for feeding, medication, or routines, and I always pay close attention to their behavior and needs. I like to give them plenty of attention and affection, and make sure they get the right amount of exercise or rest based on their personality and what you, the owner, would like. Keeping the space clean and watching for any signs that something might be wrong is important to me, and I make sure to check in with owners regularly so they know how their pets are doing.

“Faith was an exceptional dog sitter who exceeded all expectations. She was punctual every day, ensuring that our pups received consistent care and attention. Faith dedicated 30 minutes each day to sit with the dogs while they did their business, showing her commitment to their well-being. Additionally, she captured lots of great pictures of the pups, which was a delightful bonus for us. Her reliability and thoughtful care made a significant difference, and we highly recommend her services to anyone in need of a trustworthy and attentive dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 years old! What started as helping family, friends, and neighbors turned into years of experience caring for all kinds of furry friends. 🐶🐱 I also have experience handling pet emergencies, administering medications, and responding efficiently when urgent situations arise. I’ve always loved being the person people can count on when their pets need a little extra love and attention. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, which is why I treat every pet like they’re my own—with patience, responsibility, plenty of affection, and, of course, lots of belly rubs and playtime! ❤️🐾 As a server and bartender, my flexible schedule allows me to spend my free time doing something I truly love—caring for animals! I also love being outdoors and taking pets on walks and adventures where they can experience new sights, exciting smells, and plenty of fresh air. I care for every pet as if they were my own while following their normal routine and their owner’s specific instructions. I learn each pet’s personality, feeding schedule, exercise needs, medications, and preferences to help them feel comfortable. In my client’s home, I respect their space, keep everything clean and secure, and provide plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I enjoy taking dogs outside for safe, supervised walks and adventures when appropriate.

About: My years of having and loving cats and dogs of different types has prepared me to be qualified to love and care for yours when you have a need. I am retired from the Army and Retail Distribution. I enjoy my travel time and socializing time, but want to be useful in a way that would absolutely bring me joy. Being with fur babies of the canine and feline variety would be fun. I can tailor my time to your needs. I can come to you so that your loved one does not need to be put in an environment they're not familiar with. Play time, cuddle time, walks, all no problem. I treat them as safely and lovingly as I do my own.

About: I’ve had a dog for 7 years and have experience pet sitting for family friends. I’ve cared for both dogs and cats, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every pet has their own personality and needs, and I treat every animal with patience, kindness, and care. I would love to give your pets the same attention and affection I give my own! I’m a college student and work part time. On my free time I want to pet sit. My schedule is irregular but I can plan ahead and work with the pet owner! I have experience feeding pets, taking them outside throughout the day, and keeping their food bowls full. I also cared for my own small dog by bathing her, brushing her teeth, and cleaning her ears. I always prioritize pets’ safety, comfort, and well-being.

About: Like most people on this app, I love all animals. I grew up on a farm and currently have a dog of my own (his name is Colby 🐶). Over the years my family and I have fostered both cats and dogs ranging from 2 months old to 10 years old. I have also previously worked at different animal shelters. At the moment I am out of school and out of work so I am at home for most the day. I enjoy this though because it gives me time to take care of my pup I have a fenced in yard and a huge basket filled with fun and challenging toys! I make sure to give my dog a potty break at least every 2 hours but when it’s nice out, I leave the door open. My pup goes for walks 2-4 times a day depending on the weather and how I think my dog is feeling.

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.
