“Adrienne is the best! She was superb with our young puppy, communicated really well, was very flexible, and super friendly. She was a lifesaver when we needed last-minute care for our puppy and gave me so much peace of mind. She also sent many great pictures and videos. I would definitely ask her again!”

Our cat Cashew was happy and well cared for, and we got tons of pictures over the week that we were gone. It was our first time using Rover and it was a great experience. We wouldn't hesitate to have Tiffany watch Cashew again!”

“Cam took such excellent care of my kitties! Great, thorough, timely, and hilarious updates. My cats were so chill when I got home, I seriously think they were like, wait a minute, where’s Cam, what are you doing here?? Gilly has a new best friend, and even Petunia, my cat with a shall we say ‘difficult’ personality, was warming up. I’d hire Cam again in a heartbeat!”

I could not have found a better pal for my two boys than Lilia and I am very thankful. Every time she visits they are absolutely tickled pink she is there ! You will never make a mistake choosing Lilia as your dogs caregiver !!!”

About: Hi, I'm Sam! I grew up with pets my whole life — birds first, then dogs — so caring for animals has always felt like second nature to me. I've been dog walking and sitting since 2022, and I also sit for cats. I'm comfortable administering medication when needed too. I work a hybrid schedule, so on weekdays I'm typically out of the house for a few hours during the day — your pet's routine (feeding, walks, downtime) stays consistent around that. I'm very communicative before and during every stay, and I want to know exactly what your pet needs to make sure they're comfortable while you're away. Your pet's comfort and safety are my top priority, and I love building an ongoing relationship with the pets I care for. I’d love to meet you and your pup (or pets!) soon. I currently work a flexible hybrid schedule, so I have plenty of time to dedicate towards giving your furry friend the love and attention they want and need! I am very very receptive to the needs/wants of the owner of the dog/cat and am also quite good at judging when furry friends are unhappy or stressed. I will be certain to follow the owner’s instructions and reach out if anything is unclear!

About: I don’t just watch dogs, I genuinely love spending time with them. I’m the kind of person who gets excited to meet every dog I pass on a walk! My goal is to make your dog feel loved, comfortable, and stress free while you’re away. Whether your pup is energetic and loves adventures or prefers naps and cuddles, I’ll tailor my care to their personality and routine. You can expect lots of belly rubs, playtime, patience, and plenty of photo updates. I work Monday through Friday from 8–5, so my primary availability for pet care is during weeknights and weekends. I’m very intentional about dedicating that time to the pets in my care and adjusting my routine to accommodate their normal schedule, whether that means walks, feeding times, playtime, or simply keeping them company. Since being without my Golden, I’ve honestly felt a little emptiness in my day, which has made me realize even more how integral caring for dogs is to my life. Because of that, pet care is something I genuinely prioritize, and I want every pet I care for to feel comfortable, loved, and like their routine is being respected. I understand that every dog is different, just like people. I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, boundaries, and communication style so I can adjust the way I interact with them based on what makes them feel most comfortable and secure. Whether I’m caring for a pet in my home or a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions closely while paying attention to the dog’s individual responses and needs. My goal is never to force a dog to adapt to me, but to understand how I can best fit into their routine and earn their trust so they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owner is away.

Divya is an excellent sitter, and on such short notice too. The write-ups she gave looking after my cat while I was out of town were quite detailed and the pictures she took were adorable. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing that someone so attentive was checking in on him and giving him bit of company each day.

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.
