“This was my first time using Elisabeth and I am very satisfied with her services! She was very attentive and informative in the notes and made me feel calm and at ease when she cared for my fur babies. I definitely would use her again and recommend her to others.”
“Rebecca was wonderful and did a great job with our cats. She was very professional, communicative, and sent many pictures with a detailed note from each visit. It’s very evident she cares deeply for others’ pets. We greatly appreciate her help and the peace of mind she provided while we were away. We would highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I have 2 yr old golden retriever that I got as a puppy. He’s the best dog! We even have 2 kittens and he’s so gentle with them and patient. I have been around dogs and walked dogs or babysat them for 20 years. Beau is happy and spoiled. I am finishing my real estate training so I am home much more than I used be with 9-5. My pets get more attention and my dog has the ability to go outside more. More walks. I can help with your pets because my schedule is very flexible. I respect a home owners privacy and security and only need to access the pets. I have my own home and understand security concerns. No record.
“I have no reason to choose another sitter for my guinea pigs at this point. Tess is super responsive and sends lots of pictures when checking on my pets. They seem super comfortable with her and she takes better care of them than some pet hotels I've tried. Will 100% book with her again!”
“Cathy was great with my cats. My shy cat even came around to her. She communicated with me daily while on vacation. I was able to enjoy my vacation so much more knowing my cats were well taken care of.”
About: I have had multiple dogs since I was in elementary school. I have taken care of a variety of breeds, sizes, and ages, from puppy to adopting a senior Lab. I currently have a 1 year old Golden Retriever. I work from home 5 days a week, so taking care of my dog is part of my daily routine. We love to go on walks through our neighborhood and spend time outside. I have a fenced in, spacious backyard for plenty of outdoor play time. We treat our dog like a member of the family. We don't currently use a crate, but began the puppy phase crate training, so can provide/use a crate if your pup prefers one!
“Ben was fantastic with Henry and Homer. I appreciated all the extra care and love Ben gave my guys when I was away. They were very well taken care of and Ben went above and beyond all expectations.”
“Leeann was incredibly sweet and took wonderful care of our pets. She was very responsive to messages, which we really appreciated! Our only suggestion would be to better utilize the Rover cards to track her visits. Overall, she did a great job, and we’d happily recommend her!”
About: Growing up we always had dogs in our home. I have experience caring for both small, large, and giant breeds. I have a giant breed puppy of my own, which I adore. I walk my own dog and my parent's dogs everyday. I make sure they get their energy out. A tired dog is a happy dog! Currently, my lunch time schedule for visits is full. I am mainly available in the early morning or evenings during the week. During the weekend, I can take care of your dog at any time. If boarding or doggy daycare, I have a fenced in yard at my house your pet could play in. I have toys for fetch and other activities for mental stimulation. I am also used to walking multiple dogs at once, if you have several pets that need exercised! I always have water available for dogs during play time and after walks. I'm available almost every weekend. During the week I currently only have flexibility at in the early morning or in the evening time. However, my husband works from home and we can always try to tag-team to meet your schedule's needs. I have always loved animals! Growing up we had many different kinds. I have been on Rover for a few years (taking some time off for school) but I have enjoyed getting to meet and take care of other's pets. I want to provide a safe and fun experience for each pet.
About: I have had many animals in my life including dogs, cats, horses, sheep and goats. I am currently accepting a limited number of dogs for daycare or boarding and at my home with fenced yard. I have a four year old Mini Aussie ready to play and entertain your fur baby. I also offer drop in home pet care and plant care/mail retrieval services while you are away. All dogs must be house broken and socialize well with other dogs and people. I am available 7 days a week. Dogs must be crate trained (for overnight), house broken, have current immunization records and complete a short temperament assessment. I have a three dog limit, including my dog. Any dog’s acceptance into or rejection from my care is solely at my discretion. I have a fenced yard and plenty of toys to keep things exciting. My home is dog friendly and crates are available for short term or overnight use. Dogs will be crated at night for boarding.
“Beth is great with our girls. Her communication is always timely. She’s so sweet and loves our girls like they are her own. Lilly our rescue warmed up to her quickly which is always a great sign!”
About: I’ve had a dog in my life for the past 17 years, and I can’t imagine it any other way! I’ve gone through 3 puppy stages and training for a crate and house-training. I’ve also had senior dogs as those puppies got older. I’m available for boarding on weekends, or during the week if they’re used to their owner going to work during the day. I’m available anytime after 5pm during the week for any walks or potty-breaks. I have over 1,000sq ft. In my apartment and plenty of space in the complex to go on long walks! I have enough space in my apartment to accommodate large crates as well for boarding.
“Angel was super attentive to my cats while I was away, and coordinated with me through complicated travel schedules to make sure they would get the care that they need! I’m super thankful for her 💙”
“Andrea has done an incredible job at letting our shy pup go at his own pace. We also appreciate her excellent communication with us about how each visit has been going and in arranging schedules. Darwin is more and more excited each time she visits!!”
“Laura has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She does weekend check-ins and walks for us, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better. My dog can be a little more challenging than most, but Laura is incredibly patient, thoughtful, and attentive with him. She really takes the time to understand his personality and needs instead of just going through the motions. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing he’s in such good hands. You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated. She goes above and beyond every time.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lakeside Park
Mattie is wonderful!! This is the 3rd time she’s watched my senior cat and I couldn’t be more pleased. She always keeps me informed, is quick to respond whenever I text her, and sends multiple photos so I know my furry one is well taken care of. I no longer stress while I’m away with Mattie on the job!
Ben earns his numerous 5-star ratings because pets respond to him like he's part of the pack and his communication and accommodation are incredible – I'm very glad to have Ben look after my two fur kids instead of taking them to a resort. They're happier and I'm more at ease getting text and picture updates
One of my three cats needed medical attention during my absence and Payton got her promptly to the vet. Thanks to Payton, the cat's back to her "normal" self. She kept me well informed of what was happening and followed up with feedback from the vet and her own observations. Definitely giving Payton a solid 10, and I am about to book her again for my next trip.
Suzanne was great! She took wonderful care of Rico, sent a detailed update with photos, and made the whole experience completely stress-free. You can tell she genuinely cares about the pets she watches. What really stood out was that she even left a handwritten thank you note after the visit. That was such an unexpected, thoughtful touch and really showed how much pride she takes in what she does. I’ll absolutely be booking Suzanne again. If you’re looking for someone who’s dependable, communicative, and goes the extra mile, I highly recommend her. Rico was in great hands!
Laura has been absolutely amazing with my dog. She does weekend check-ins and walks for us, and I genuinely couldn’t ask for anyone better.

You can tell she truly cares about the dogs she works with, and that makes all the difference. I highly recommend Laura to anyone looking for someone reliable, compassionate, and dedicated. She goes above and beyond every time.

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.
