“We love having Heleen take care of our kitties when we are away. She’s amazing with the kitties and is great at taking care of any unexpected issues that come up in the house. Highly recommend her 😊”
“Michelle is great with my large and sometimes nervous dog! She’s also very patient when giving my cat oral meds. My pets are comfortable around her and she takes great photos. I’ll be hiring her again!”
“Another amazing experience with Poppy! She did a last-minute drop-in visit for my cat. My cat trusts her (cat is shy and doesn’t let people get close to take photos, but she let Poppy get close); I trust her too!”
“Irina is very lovely lady and caring our cat so much! She followed all instructions, and visited our cat timely. She even stayed longer than our original booking window to spend time and play with Capy. Took a lot photos and video to make sure we feel comfortable during our leave. Our cat is a shy boy, usually hide from strangers but not to Irina. He even showed his belly with trust to her, that says something! We will not hesitate to work with Irina when necessary for next time, thank you so much!🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was in high school. A lot of my neighbors have asked me to take care of their dogs while being out on long vacations. Most visits did not include overnight stays, but I would show up in the morning to take them for a walk and to play, come back around noon to play with them again and stay for about an hour or two, come back around dinner to make sure they were fed and walked again and stay a little longer so that the dogs were not alone when it would get darker. Especially during thunder storms! I currently have a full time job that I work at 5 days a week. However with my job I have a lot of availability to work remote so if there were any circumstances where you would need me to stay all day at your house to watch your dog I would be available to do so as long as I have a wifi connection :). I had moved from New Jersey to California, so as you can imagine I miss my family dogs everyday so I have a lot of love to give to other dogs. I live in an apartment so I will unfortunately not be able to have dogs here, however, I am willing to travel multiple times a day to the owners house to play, feed, walk and even go to parks to keep them fresh and active.
“Thank you for such thorough accounting for everything our boy did on every walk and visit, we truly appreciated it and it helped all of us be able to have a worry-free time away from our dog!”
“Zarina was a great pet sitter for Kitty! She was extremely responsive and sent nice check ins with plenty of pictures of her giving Kitty pets. I definitely recommend Zarina and look forward to using her services again soon!”
“Angelica took such great care of our dog while we were away. From start to finish, everything went smoothly and gave us real peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly attentive to our dog’s needs.”
About: I have 3+ years of hands-on experience caring for my two cats, and I regularly look after a friend’s Shiba Inu for about a month each year. I’m a native Mandarin Chinese speaker and fluent in English. 欢迎全程使用中文沟通，包括见面了解、照护说明和每次服务后的照片与情况更新。 I’m comfortable with feeding, refreshing water, cleaning litter boxes, walks, playtime, and following detailed care routines. Living with a shy cat has taught me to be patient, read pets’ body language, and let them approach at their own pace. I pay close attention to changes in appetite, energy, behavior, and litter box habits. I’ll also provide clear photo updates so you can feel confident that your pet is safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I currently have a flexible schedule and can provide drop-in visits and dog walks on weekdays and weekends, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I limit my daily bookings so I can arrive on time, follow each pet’s routine carefully, and give every pet my full attention. I keep my Rover calendar updated and appreciate at least one day’s notice from new clients so we have time to confirm care instructions and arrange a Meet & Greet when needed. I care for pets in the comfort of their own home and follow each owner’s instructions closely. Before the first booking, I prefer a Meet & Greet to review feeding, water, litter boxes, walking routines, home access, emergency contacts, and any health or behavioral needs. During every visit, I make sure doors and gates are secure, keep dogs leashed outdoors, avoid interactions with unfamiliar animals, and respect your home. I also send photos and detailed updates about your pet’s food, water, bathroom habits, energy, and behavior.

About: I've had all sorts of animals my whole life. I've experienced animals throughout all the stages of their life, from beginning to end. I love on animals as if they were my own child! Your fur baby will be safe with me 💜 I am currently working Monday thru Friday in SF and have weekends and holidays off. When I am not home, my grandmother (who has even more pet care experience) is home. I usually get home in the evening on Monday thru Friday around 5:15pm and am home all day Saturday and Sunday. I have a lovely fenced backyard as well as a medium sized crate in the house. I have one dog, 3 cats, and a turtle. I make sure to regularly let my dog out for a potty break. I make sure to feed at their regular eating times. I usually sleep with my dog, and there's more than enough room for one or two fur babies to cuddle with. I am open to taking care of whatever needs your animal may have. Mom/Dad know best!

About: I currently WFH as a Client Finance Manager and recently completed my MBA degree. Somehow, I still have plenty of free time and absolutely love pups! I have my own 4-year-old cavapoo, Eloise, and a 1-year-old mini poodle, Charlie. We go on walks 2 times a day along the beautiful Bay Trail and would love to walk your dog, too! Hire me to dog-sit, dog-walk, or care for your pup—I offer extra attention with snuggles, kisses, and plenty of outdoor time. I am home throughout the day to ensure frequent potty breaks, attention, and regular check-ins. I typically walk dogs twice a day, and with my flexible schedule, I can accept last-minute bookings. I can stay for a few hours at your home, take pups on a long walk, or simply drop by to check in and feed them. I firmly believe all pups should have daily access to freshly cleaned bowls of water.
About: Hi! I’m a recent college graduate with some extra time on my hands, and I’d love to spend it caring for your furry family members. I grew up with cats and have had them my whole life.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Laurel
Yujie watched my cats while I was away for a week, and they couldn’t be in better hands!!! She was available to meet them beforehand and while I was away she sent me detailed updates and pictures from them. One of my cats needed daily insulin injections and she handled it really well. I definitely recommend her as a petsitter!!!
Amazing!!! Love Ivana’s prompt, and honest communication. She is flexible and extremely reliable. My dogs warmed up to her quickly and settled in nicely. She kept us updated and sent pictures! Our dogs are our babies and her care gave us so much peace to leave them in her hands.
Chelsea is one of the best cat sitters we have ever had! Our cat, Raven, is typically very shy, but she absolutely LOVED Chelsea. Honestly, I think she might love her more than she loves us! 😂 Chelsea was incredibly communicative, asked thoughtful questions during the meet and greet, sent wonderful pictures every day, and spent so much quality time playing with and caring for Raven. She was also exceptionally attentive to Raven’s mood, eating, and drinking. One day when she thought Raven might not be feeling well, she even offered to come back that evening to check on her again. That level of care and thoughtfulness really sets her apart! We felt so comfortable knowing Raven was in such amazing hands and would book Chelsea again in a heartbeat. We cannot recommend her highly enough! ⭐️
There’s nothing like piece of mind when you are away from your pet. Zishen and Yukuang are amazing. My cat was pampered and clearly loved by both. They sent many photos and detailed updates every drop in during the two weeks that we were gone. All tasks were completed above and beyond. They also made sure to let us know about a notice that was on our front door. I would recommend them highly to my friends and they are my top choice while I’m away!
Claudia was fantastic with Toto - she played with him while I was traveling every workday, she gave consistent and comprehensive updates, she clearly cared for his wellbeing, and was highly professional. I will definitely enjoy working with her again and recommend her to others
Heleen is our go-to person whenever we need someone we can trust to look after our boy. We have a very shy cat, but he feels completely comfortable with her. On top of that, Heleen is incredibly easy to communicate with, practical, and reliable. She gets things done!
Angie is an amazing sitter! She took care of my pup, Effie, like she was her own. Angie engaged Effie for daily exercise, administered medicine, took care of potty breaks, and made sure she had food and water. I enjoyed the daily reports while I was away on vacation, and my dog is slow to warm up to people and liked Angie a lot. I will hire her again!

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 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.
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 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.
