“Mark was super efficient, easygoing, and great to work with. Everything went smoothly, and I felt comfortable leaving my pup Grace in his care. I’d definitely love to use his services again in the future.”
“Shaelyn is such a sweet person and very caring for animals. She did a great job taking care of my cat while I was out of town. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and I hope I can call on her again.”
“Julia is an amazing human being. She rushed over same day, totally last minute when we were having an emergency. She kept up updated and went above and beyond what we were expecting as new Rover users. She is someone you can trust.”
“My dog does not trust new people easily, but she warmed up to Isabelle’s sweet personality right away. She said no coaxing was needed after the first day and she always came right down to eat.”
“Ana is truly wonderful. She immediately presents with a calm friendly trustworthy manner. I sought her out for her medical training for help and suggestions with a cat that needs injections. It was hard to filter that out in search paarmeters but I really lucked out coming across Ana. She was very sweet with my dog and two cats and listened empathically to each of my pets needs and requirements. I look forward to working with her further on. I travel a lot and my pets needs are particular, I don't trust many with my pets, especially my dog. I feel confident my pets will be safe and well cared for with her.”
About: We have owned pets for 20+ years including cats, dogs, a rabbit, fish, chickens and more, and have taken care of a variety of pets for friends, family and neighbors along the way. We have also volunteered for the local Petsmart taking care of kittens and adult cats in the catio. We love our pets and will adore yours as well! We can provide care such as, but not limited to, feeding, watering, medications, cuddling, playing, walking and plenty of love. Laurilee works part-time a couple of days per week as a RN. Travis works full-time from home generally with a flexible schedule as a consulting Forester. We have availability for drop-ins or walks generally between 12:30-2:30 a few days per week and occasional weekends, however this varies and will need to remain somewhat flexible, as we also care for our elderly grandmother. We can not offer baording or overnight stays at owners homes at this time. We are not available for evenings currently, as we have our childrens' activities. We are responsible and will honor the safety requests that you have for your pet(s) in your home and/or on walks. We will maintain a friendly and fun environment while keeping safety the #1 priority. Rover completed background checks on both Travis and Laurilee. In the case of an emergency we would contact you, your emergency veterinarian if shared with us, and Rover immediately. We both have the American Red Cross Pet First Aid app downloaded on our smart phones for quick access for urgent care recommendations if ever needed, along with quick access to the Rover Guarantee webpage and emergency number. Available most weekdays, M-F 12:30pm-2:30pm. Not available evenings or weekends. Boarding and overnight care is not offered at this time. Check-ins and walks may be done by Laurilee, Travis or both depending on the day. If approved, our teenage daughters may join us when available for extra pets and playmates. At this time we are unable to offer pet care service in our home. We have many of our own pets who do not appreciate having other animals in the house.
About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover who truly believes pets are part of the family. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for. I’m also respectful of your home and will leave everything just as I found it. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets and become someone you can trust for all your pet-sitting needs! 🐶🐱❤️ I am currently available every day and have an open schedule. I available most nights as well and can house sit overnight as well. Dip in visits and walking services can be any time needed! I currently live in an apartment with a cat so I would have to take care of the animal at their house. I have crate trained dogs before so can crate animals if needed
About: I have a Golden, 1 Cat (4stray cats), Fish and Chickens of my own, so caring for animals is a big part of my everyday life! I’m comfortable with different personalities and routines, and I treat every pet like family. I know how important it is to have someone reliable who genuinely cares about your animals! I’m a teacher working part-time this year, which gives me a very flexible schedule for pet care. I’m available throughout the afternoons and evenings during the week, so I have plenty of time for walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and giving pets the attention they need. I love having pet care as part of my routine and can be flexible depending on each pet’s schedule. I treat every pet like they’re my own! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while sticking to their normal routines. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I pay attention to each pet’s individual needs and personality. I also respect my client’s home, keep everything clean, and provide updates and photos so owners can feel at ease while they’re away.
“Absolute angel. Ananda is super attentive and sweet with my kitty girls, even the spicy one and was flexible with my travel plans and very communicative during each visit. Plus she sent me pictures of my sweet baby floofs when I was missing them. Absolutely recommend and will be using her again.”
“Sammy is an amazing pet sitter! She communicated quickly, made us feel very comfortable and our pets loved her. We are very thankful for her care while we were away from home!”
“Caitlin is a kind, knowledgeable and very professional pet sitter! We had her stop by our house daily to take care of our two cats while on vacation. Caitlin took such good care of our fur babies, and she even sent us daily updates with pictures. Highly recommend!”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful! She was caring, attentive, kind, understanding, and very flexible. I especially appreciated that she kept me updated and sent me pictures of my cat, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared and made sure everything was going well. I would absolutely recommend Laura and would be very happy to book with her again!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals since I was 6. I grew up with a dog, people we knew had dogs, and we always had at least 1 cat in our care. Animals were what I knew. And still do. I’m intuitive when it comes to your furry child’s needs and currently look over the pets of my family and friend’s while they’re away. I can generally get somewhere after work at around 530pm. I love to walk and can provide daily walks for pets. On the weekends, I can make myself available for all day and care :) I’m in a small new studio so I’d prefer to watch pets at their homes. Many animals feel more at home in their familiar environment, removing the extra anxiety since they may already be stressed without their caregiver. I’m very attentive to your furry child’s needs, with water, food, walks, playtime, basic training etc. :)
About: I have four of my own fur babies! I'm a person that many friends and family members trust to care for their own special pets. I currently am a student and work a part-time variable schedule. My availability shifts every week, but mornings, afternoons, and weekends are best for me. I adapt to your dog's needs, young and old! I can go for a long walk, facilitate fun playtime, or just offer loves and cuddles.
About: I've always had a soft spot for animals, and caring for pets comes naturally to me. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone who is patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. I also understand that every animal has different needs, routines, and comfort levels. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for while you're away. Whether that's walks, playtime, feeding, administering simple medications, or plenty of cuddles, I'll make sure they receive the attention they deserve. I'll care for your pet as if they were my own and always make sure you receive updates and photos. I'm currently working part time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule for pet care. I'm available for afternoon/evening visits on weekdays and have more availability on weekends. I do my best to work around your pet's normal routine so they stay comfortable and stress free. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality and any special instructions before every visit. In your home, I'll treat your space with respect, keep everything clean and make sure doors and gates are secure. I'll also send regular photo and text updates so you know your pet is happy and doing well while you're away.

Ana is truly wonderful. She immediately presents with a calm friendly trustworthy manner. I sought her out for her medical training for help and suggestions with a cat that needs injections. It was hard to filter that out in search paarmeters but I really lucked out coming across Ana. She was very sweet with my dog and two cats and listened empathically to each of my pets needs and requirements. I look forward to working with her further on. I travel a lot and my pets needs are particular, I don't trust many with my pets, especially my dog. I feel confident my pets will be safe and well cared for with her.
Emily was great! She was really on top of everything in the app and was very communicative and responsive throughout. I felt completely comfortable entrusting her with Lola’s care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely use her again!
Mark just watched our kitty while we were on a camping trip. Cali needs medicine twice a day. Mark made sure she got her Rx, food, water and lots of loves. Cali is very shy and hides from new people. It was so nice to see photos each day of Cali getting pets and looking happy. Mark also left notes about how things went each day. It really allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you so much, Mark for going above and beyond for us and for Cali. 💜
Emma has been a great asset to my two very different kitties while we were away. We have a complicated situation with an outdoor kitty, and a very indoor/walk only on leash kitty. She was diligent at cleaning and maintaining a healthy environment for my fur children. I got lots of great photos and even the timid outdoor kitty warned up to her almost immediately 🐈 😺

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
