“Carrie did a fantastic job looking after our two cats while we traveled to OH for our daughter’s wedding. We were gone a week and had never been away from them for that long, so I was quite worried. Carrie fed them, cleaned their little box and played with them. She also provided great photos, which is always reassuring. I would definitely hire Carrie again. The cats seemed to love her!”
“Keira is doing drop-ins for us and is building a good relationship with our rescue. She responds quickly to any messages. She is great at making sure any instructions I leave are done. She takes cute pictures during the visit too! We plan to have her sit for us when vacation time comes.”
“Appreciate the care and promptness of Kurstyn’s visits. Gracie got a lot of attention and some walks. We loved the pictures sent to us. Thank you for caring for our girl.”
“Courtney is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat. She went above and beyond, and we will definitely book again with her in the future.”
“Laura has been phenomenal in taking care of our dog. We work long hours so she comes to give a potty break and is always so attentive to her needs and sends lots of photos. Highly recommend!”
“Monica was very patient when meeting my dogs. I felt nervous and worried because they have no training but then I was relieved to see the photos and how much fun they were having with her. Thanks Monica I have no doubt how good my babies were with you.”
“I had a great experience with Crystal. She did a great job with my older dog (who hates to take his meds) as well as my high-energy dog who loves all the attention.”
“LaDonna and Chris were awesome. We had some household things come up and they volunteered to stay at the house when the repair was being done. They spent lots of sweet time with our kitty and she was well cared for. They took out the trash and made sure our house was secure. They went above and beyond what was asked for.”
About: I've always been the neighbor to care for neighbors pets when they are out of town. I've owned various breeds of dogs for 42 years and cats for 40 years. I love animals! I can help with the needs of your bird as well. I love overnights. Being retired, my schedule is flexible just let me know when you need me! The schedule is flexible I try not to work with animals after 10pm I can board pets in my home or yours. Wherever the pet is more comfortable. Pets are more "relaxed" in their own homes, but mine is available.
“We were SO happy with Arlayna watching our cat Kyle. She was reliable, a great communicator and even went above and beyond to take care of our little guy! We highly recommend her and can’t wait to use her again!”
“Brittany was awesome with our Corgi, Zoe. Brittany's took the time to play with her several times a day. In the update photos you could see that Zoe was having fun and being well cared for.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals most of my life. I’ve also been trained at Mckamey and know how to lovingly care for your fur baby! I’m currently working some from home but have a lot of free time :) I can come with not much notice and will love cuddle your fur friend or keep them entertained if they don’t like to be snuggled! You can trust me in or outside of your home! Your pet will be my first priority and I’m happy yo do walks and frequently take outside
About: I used to volunteer at a local animal shelter. I took a course on animal handling, how to decrease frustration, anxiety and stress (FAS) for animals in the shelter, body language, how emotional health impacts an animal’s physical health, etc. I have a certificate in keeping a shelter Fear Free. My family and friends have relied on me in the past to dogsit their fur-babies. I have a large extended family with pets of all kinds, from German Shepard’s, Labradors and Cocker Spaniels, to mixed breeds and Tabby cats. Five of them are shelter rescues and one chihuahua-dashscund. For all of the animals I have taken care of, I came to their home so that the animals remained comfortable. I love all of my fur-babies, and I’m thankful that my family trusts me enough to take care of them while they’re away on vacation. Important Note: If you’re wanting to do more “meet and greets” after the first one in order for your pet to get more comfortable around me, I will be charging the same price as it would be for a drop-in (about $15 depending on the pet care). Another Important Note: I can give oral medication by putting it into their food. I can not, however, give it to the pet straight. My work schedule varies every week. However, I usually work from either 8:30 AM or 10 AM to 4 or 5 PM. I wouldn’t mind discussing the details in-person. My living situation does not allow me to petsit in my own home, however, I am able to petsit in my clients’ homes. When it comes to animals, I am very responsible. I take my job as a pet-sitter very seriously. I am able to give them any medications if needed at certain days and times, walk them, feed them, etc.
“She was always on time and easy to communicate with. Great with my feline and left in-app notes to let me know how the visit went if there were any issues/concerns. Def recommend to others!”
“Luigi stopped in at my house to get my doggies outside and such while I was out of town for the day. Everything went well and my pups seemed happy and content when I got home ? He also got great photos of them!!”
“Your pet is in good hands with Stephanie! My dog loved seeing her for mid-day walks while I was at work. She also sends plenty of pictures and videos to keep you updated! She even brought over toys and treats that her own dogs didn't care for. I will continue to use her services whenever I need a walker I can trust!”
“This is the second booking that I’ve had with Kari and will continue to book if she’s available. She’s fantastic, has great communication and is proactive. I refer to her as Aunt Kari to the cats. ♥️”
“Jessica was very friendly and prompt on arrivals. She was very thorough with check in details and even played fetch with them. Our boys loved her and she loved them. 10 out of 10 would recommend. ❤️❤️”
About: Hi, I'm Brandy! When you're away, you deserve peace of mind knowing your pets are receiving the same love, attention, and care that they get from you. I've spent years caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities—from energetic puppies to senior pets needing extra patience and support. My background includes working in a veterinary clinic, training in pet CPR, and caring for my own beloved animals through every stage of life. As a homesteader and animal lover, I'm also comfortable caring for chickens, small farm animals, cats, dogs, and other household pets. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, medication, companionship, or simply a reassuring presence while you're away, I'm committed to making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. What you can expect from me: ✔ Dependable and trustworthy care ✔ Pet CPR trained ✔ Experience with senior pets and special needs pets ✔ Comfortable administering many routine medications ✔ Experience with chickens and small homestead animals ✔ Regular photo and video updates ✔ Plenty of love, attention, and playtime I understand that pets are family. When I care for your animals, I treat them as if they were my own—with patience, kindness, and respect. I'd love the opportunity to meet you and your furry (or feathered!) family members. I look forward to becoming one of your pet's favorite people! Because I work from home, I have a very flexible schedule and am able to provide care throughout the day. This allows me to accommodate walks, drop-in visits, feeding schedules, potty breaks, playtime, medication administration, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I am available most weekdays, weekends, and holidays, and I do my best to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Every animal is unique, so I take the time to learn their routines, preferences, and any special needs before care begins. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or providing drop-in visits, I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress and help them feel secure. I carefully follow all feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise requirements, and household rules. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy level, and overall well-being so that any concerns can be addressed promptly. As someone with veterinary clinic experience and pet CPR training, I understand the importance of safety and preparedness. I am experienced with pets of all ages, including puppies, senior pets, and those requiring extra patience or specialized care. I also have experience caring for cats, dogs, chickens, and small homestead animals. Whether your pet enjoys playtime, walks, cuddles, or simply quiet companionship, I will provide attentive, loving care tailored to their individual needs. You can expect regular updates, photos, and communication so you can relax and enjoy your time away knowing your pets are in caring and capable hands.

Sara was great with our pups and lovely to work with. She met with us and our pets briefly first which was so helpful and much appreciated. She did a great job asking questions and following through on everything we discussed. Would happily work with her again. Thanks Sara!
Keira is doing drop-ins for us and is building a good relationship with our rescue. She responds quickly to any messages. She is great at making sure any instructions I leave are done. She takes cute pictures during the visit too! We plan to have her sit for us when vacation time comes.

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.
