“Jessica takes such amazing care of our two kitties who can be nervous around people! We do appreciate her understanding of cats and their temperaments. She always provides detailed updates on how they are doing with lots of pictures which is great! It is such a relief to know they are so well cared for when we are gone!! Thank you, Jessica!”
“This was the second time I have used Barb and Rover. My dogs needs have evolved and Barb adapted well to the increased complexity needed to care for my dogs. I feel confident that I can rely upon her again when I need to.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals my whole life, from hamsters to horses and lots in between. I’m passionate about giving your pet all of the TLC they need! I currently work full time as a nurse but have a good availability around that. I have very open availability on days that I do not work I am very reliable, observant, and can roll with the punches. I will take care of your pets and home as if they’re my own. I have good experience in understanding animals and anticipating what they need.
“I've used Sara several times now to take care of my pup Penny and couldn't be happier. I feel comfortable knowing she's in good hands while I'm not home. She even left some tiny polaroid pics of Penny for me.”
“Erin took wonderful care of my cat, Lukas while I was away. She is reliable, attentive, and made sure Lukas had everything he needed. Knowing Lukas is in such good hands gives me peace of mind. I truly appreciate Erin’s kindness and care—highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: Hello, my name is Sarah. I am a fur mom to a 3 year old French Bulldog. I’ve always been a huge dog lover and I truly love spending time with dogs. Some call me the dog whisperer but I credit my dog attraction success by understanding that “it’s the dogs world and I’m just living in it”. Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, long nature walk, or puppy play date. I live in a dog friendly apt complex that’s not far from the local dog park. I have sat numerous dogs both young and old and enjoy pup slumber parties. If you have an athletic or active dog, I am the host for you!!! Trips to parks, running the trails, and playing fetch will happen every day. If your dog is less active, i can bring our activity level to where your dog is most happy and comfortable.
About: I am a veterinary assistant and vet school applicant with extensive animal experience. My background includes safe animal handling, behavior assessment, nail trimming, and ear cleaning for dogs and cats. I am available for visits Wednesday mornings, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. I work at an animal hospital so my availability during weekdays is limited. Though I am flexible depending on your pets needs and services. I focus on creating a calm, safe and predictable environment. As a veterinary assistant, I follow a structured routine that supports each pets comfort and wellbeing. I begin by reviewing the owners instructions and any medical or behavioral needs. I monitor pets and use gentle low stress handling techniques.
About: For about 3 years when i was younger, I would volunteer at an animal shelter. I was able to understand how to care for pets as well as understanding their body language and boundaries. I have a dog myself (Jasper) for 3 years so i do have experience being around other dogs. I do not train unfortunately but will give your pup the attention and walks they deserve so they are tired when they get home! :) I am available on weekends for boarding, walking, or just going in to check on an animal. I am also available after 5pm on the weekdays for potty breaks before bed/ walks before bed etc! I have a fenced in yard and my dog understands boundaries of not trying to escape. I am always attentive to my dogs needs, giving him attention, walks, treats, food, cuddles and play time. My dog gets along with every dog so he has no problem with another dog being in the house!
“Margaret was a lifesaver last weekend when I needed someone to let my pups out on short notice! She was super accommodating and understanding of the chaos that was my weekend and my pups loved her. :-)”
“This was Michelle’s first drop-in visit with my pups, and she did a great job! She sent pictures and updates throughout, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. I’ll definitely be using Michelle again for our November vacation, as I feel completely comfortable leaving my pups in her care. I’ve also met her dogs, and you can tell they are truly loved and well cared for. That speaks volumes about the level of care and attention you can expect from Michelle. I highly recommend her!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life. Recently rescued a puppy she is 11 months old. Her name is Callie and she’s a super sweet girl very loving.I am available every day, except on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Please reach out for any help that you may need. 🐾🐾🐈🐈⬛🐕🦮🦴 Hi, my schedule is very flexible. I work part time and I’m only not available on Wednesdays and Thursdays. I also am OK with the same day job proposals. My dog is crate trained, small and gentle. She adores other animals. If we were to care for your pet in our home, we would make sure all paths got along, and if not, we would protect all of them by providing safe places and different times going out for walks, feedings and sleep.
“Alyssa swooped in and saved the day a few times when we were out of town for a week. Our little Princess loved her from the start and we felt good knowing she was in such good hands.”
“Jocelyn is wonderful! Just by seeing the pictures that she sent me I can see that Etta responded to her immediately! I felt very comfortable with her and will continue to have her take care of my extended family in the future! ❤️”
“Thank you so much for taking care of Lola on such short notice - and for making sure I saw your message! Always such a great experience to have you check in on her when I’m not home!!”
About: I’m great with dogs because I’m patient, attentive, and genuinely love being around them. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routines, and needs, whether that means high-energy playtime, calm walks, or just quiet companionship. I’m very observant of behavior and body language, so I can quickly tell when a dog is excited, anxious, or needs extra care. I’m reliable with feeding schedules, walks, and any special instructions, and I always prioritize safety and comfort. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and I make sure they feel loved, secure, and happy while their owners are away. 🐶❤️ I have 2 dachshunds of my own♥️ I am currently a Teacher, I work from 8-3:45 during the week! I am always home after those times and on the weekends! I am off in the summers and on all school breaks and holidays! I have 2 dachshunds of my own and I spend ALL my time with them when I am home, so I can do the same with your pets! I have a fenced in yard and two fur babies to keep yours company! I can crate them if needed but mine roam the kitchen while I am gone and sleep in bed with me! We are always walking and outside running around!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lake View
Sara was wonderful! She did drop-in visits for my cat over a weekend trip and couldn’t have been better. She was friendly, extremely communicative, and followed all care instructions perfectly. The initial meet-and-greet gave me complete peace of mind, and my cat was in great hands the whole time. I will definitely be booking her again and highly recommend 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. 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.

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.
