“Abby is very caring and attentive. She took great care of Mochi and even kept an eye on his eye condition, which made me feel at ease while I was away.”
“Abigail was wonderful with my boys, and very communicative each time she dropped in to care for them. It was a holiday week so I was very happy to have gotten her booked.”
“Darwin was excellent - consistent, thorough, highly communicative, and respectful. From the outset, they came prepared with treats, poop bags, and care questions, which made me feel that my cat was in good hands. Throughout the week, they carefully adhered to my cat's routine, including the daily administering of medication, and followed up with thorough care cards/reports. They even went above-and-beyond to scrub my cat's litter scoop. Most importantly, they were very patient and gentle in building trust with my apprehensive kitty, who warmed up to pets and cuddles within a matter of days. I came home to a content cat and a clean home. I would absolutely recommend Darwin to any pet parent!”
“Annie was fantastic - responsive and ensured Maeve was doing well while I was away. She even got her to come out of hiding daily - not something everyone has been able to do!”
“Ava was really amazing. She was very professional, and above all she was very thoughtful, kind and caring with our senior with special needs dog. She met with us prior to our scheduled drop ins so she was familiar with Cole’s needs and routines. She was an exceptional communicator, sending pictures and updating us with how things were going, and very understanding with our shy senior dog. We would highly recommend her and definitely look forward to using her again!”
“Marissa was kind and caring towards my furbabies. She followed through all the instructions. Both of my cats loved her! I'll definitely work with her again ☺️ highly recommend!”
“This was our first time using Rover and Krista exceeded all of our expectations with her care of our 2 cats. She followed all of our care instructions, gave frequent and thorough updates, and made us feel confident that our cats were safe. We would absolutely work with Krista again for future trips!”
About: I’m recently unemployed and looking to get my steps in and earn some dollar tree money! I have experience running a BOOMING neighborhood dog walking business in the 90s! Also the proud owner of 1 Bombay cat. Not much specialized experience, but wide open availability to help at run of the mill drop ins and/or walks. Hope to meet you! Newly unemployed, so availability is quite literally wide open! I would like to avoid far drives. Would love some weekly walking jobs (rather, my fitness app would love) I will follow your instructions and treat your family members how I treat my own! I am not well versed with special care but am willing to try and learn
“Rebooked with Abby again! I highly recommend her care for any and all critters. Our four-legged family members were in great hands with Abby, and we look forward to her return.”
“Our dogs are happy when we leave so they can have their BFF Sharron come to play! Wipes away the guilt of being away when they feel like they’re on their own vacation.”
About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life and bring me so much joy. I’m the type of person who will stop what I’m doing to ask if I can say hi to a dog. Growing up, my mom had a pug/cocker spaniel mix named Samsung, and when I was in college, my dad got a 120-pound Rottweiler/Black Lab mix named Moosey, who quickly became my best buddy. Sadly, he passed away from cancer about a year ago. My dad now has a British Black Lab named Sasha, who has become my new best friend. I regularly stop by to take her on walks, play with her, and make sure she gets plenty of attention while my dad is working. Caring for dogs has always come naturally to me, and I genuinely love spending time with them. I'm currently working full time as a Marketing Lead on the Marketplace Ads team at Best Buy. However, I work from home on Friday, so i'm available Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I live in a newly built apartment complex with a fenced-in dog area and plenty of walking trails nearby. Dogs are welcome on my furniture.
“Working with Frances has been so positive. She communicates clearly. Working with Frances let’s me feel comfortable knowing that my dog Archie getting what he needs while I’m at work!”
About: I’ve been dog sitting for neighbors for over 10 years and have also worked at a doggy daycare in Columbia Heights. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and personalities. I currently work part time, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide reliable pet care. I’m very experienced with managing my schedule and making sure each dog’s needs come first. I make time for regular feeding, walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure to follow their care instructions and give their pets everything they need. During visits, I’ll feed them, let them outside or take them for a walk, and spend time playing with them to help get their energy out. I also make sure they get plenty of attention and are comfortable before I leave.
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Lauderdale is €20
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Lauderdale
This was my first time using Rover as a customer and not a sitter and I’m very pleased with my experience in hiring Elizabeth! She was punctual, curious, and made sure she had all the info needed to care for our pets☺️ when I came home, they all seemed so calm and happy so I will definitely be reaching out should I need her services again!
When Billie takes care of my dog, she pays close attention to the skills he’s working on, and provides clear updates on how things went during their time together. She’s thoughtful about anticipating needs. For example, she prepared a Kong and left it in the freezer, so it would be ready for my dog to enjoy later. :)
Thank you so much! The dogs were well cared for and happy! Abigail went above and beyond and carried in two heavy packages for us as well. She did a great job communicating before, during, and after the visits to reassure us that our Pyrenees was getting more comfortable and things were going well. She handled our other jumpy dog great too! Would absolutely book Abigail again!
Cindy was perfect. She seems to truly care about dogs, especially ours. It was a comfort to know she could drop in twice to care for our Dear Floyd on our daughter’s wedding day. She followed all instructions and kept us updated. It was a comfort and a relief.
Mad did a drop by visit with our two dogs, in preparation for a longer stay ahead with them. Mad was conscientious and attentive with our dogs, and very willing to do what was necessary to help them feel comfortable (especially one of our dogs, who finds meeting new people a little scary). Mad clearly understands dogs and has a wealth of experience to draw from. We feel confident our dogs are in good hands!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Lauderdale choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
