“Stacy is so easy to work with and you can tell she loves your pet like it’s her own! Her photos during her visits are top notch and you know your pup is in good hands!”
“She was so kind and took extra time to ensure her potty break and kept me well informed. I really appreciated her attention to details. Her communication was excellent”
“First time to use rover and very impressed! Thanks to Adeleine for making it so easy for us to trust someone who can really take care of our fur babies! Communication from the very beginning has been wonderful - she responds quickly! The photos she sent showed how much our fur babies enjoyed her company! Will be using rover again and will be working again with Adeleine! Thank you again Adeleine and Rover!!!”
“Karen is my go-to sitter for my cats. She did check-ins twice a day and treated them with so much love and care. I was particularly impressed by the value she provides; her rates are very reasonable, but her level of service is high-end. She was even able to adjust her schedule when I arrived home early. If you want someone you can truly count on, book Karen.”
About: I’ve taken care of animals throughout my life. I currently have cats who are extremely friendly! They love to play! I am trusted by neighbors, friends and Acquaintances with their fur babies. I would love to watch your pets and make them feel at home! I work remotely and have a flexible schedule to care for pets. We really enjoy caring for animals and making sure that family members are safely cared for while their owners are away! I will follow the instructions left by the owners on how to best care for their best. Each pet has their own comforts and personality.
About: I’m an experienced pet owner who has had both dogs and cats and I currently have a 2-year-old cat, Pluto who I adopted as a kitten. I also regularly care for friends’ dogs when they travel, so I’m comfy with the routines, personalities, and individual needs. What sets me apart is that I genuinely enjoy being active and spending time outdoors!! I love going on walks and getting outside PLUS I have a fully fenced backyard where dogs can safely run, play, and get some energy out. I also enjoy giving pets plenty of attention and companionship rather than simply checking in on them and dipping. Because I’ve owned both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has a different personality and comfort level. Some want to play and explore, while others are happier relaxing and lounging (I have those days too, haha). I’m attentive to those differences and will follow your pet’s normal routine and care instructions as closely as possible!(: My goal is to give every pet safe, attentive, and loving care! Whether that means an active play session, a walk, backyard time, cuddles, or simply keeping them company in their own home. I work a FT hybrid schedule, so I’m home every day except Wednesdays and Fridays as I’ll be in office until I get off at 5:30pm. On my remote work days, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day, including during my lunch break and after I finish work around 5:30 PM. I also naturally enjoy being active and usually take walks/runs early mornings and evenings daily. This makes it super easy to incorporate walks, playtime, and outdoor time within my routine. For pets staying in my home, they’ll have plenty of companionship from me throughout the day, along with access to my fenced backyard for supervised play and outdoor time. On my office days, I’m available for pet care after I get home from work. For drop-in visits, I can visit during my lunch break and/or after work on remote days. On Wednesdays and Fridays I can stop by after work or before my shift. My weekends are generally relaxed and flexible, so I’m also available for visits and pet care then. I’m usually home a lot and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I have a fenced backyard where dogs can enjoy supervised play and outdoor time, and I’m more than happy to incorporate walks and playtime into their routine. My cat, Pluto is extremely sweet and comfortable around dogs, but I understand that not every pet feels the same way. I have a two-story home, which allows me to keep pets separated when needed and give everyone their own comfortable space. Safety and making sure each pet is comfortable will always come first. I’ll follow your instructions regarding feedings, meds, walks, potty breaks, crate routines, and anything else your pet is accustomed to. I like to keep pets’ normal routines as consistent as possible so they feel secure and comfortable while you’re away. For drop-in visits, I’ll follow your pet’s established routine and provide whatever care they need; including feeding, fresh water, potty breaks, walks, playtime, litter box care, and of course love & attention. I’m also happy to send updates and fun photos so you can see how your pet is doing while you’re away.
“Thank you Lynn, although Kali was elusive we were pleased there was someone checking on her. We hope she will become more people friendly in time. We recommend you for anyone needing their pet cared for.”
“Tessa accommodated for an unexpected drop-in. We really appreciated her for the communication and flexibility alongside the attention given to our anxious girl. We look forward to having her come back soon!”
“Errin is great! She did fantastic with my 220+ lb English Mastiff who tends to intimidate a lot of people (for obvious reasons). But, he absolutely loved her! Her personality is light, outgoing and happy which really makes a difference to dogs who can generally sense that kind of stuff. This was the first time I've left my pup overnight in three years and I was a bit nervous about it. But, I instantly felt better knowing that Errin would be looking after him. She was prompt, overly communicative and thorough! Will absolutely be using her again! Thanks a ton!”
“Kinzi is refreshingly professional and dependable. She was thorough during our initial meeting which provided peace of mind while we were gone. Looking forward to hiring her again in the near future!”
About: Something about me when dog sitting I always ask if your furry friend takes any medication, how often do they need to take it, how often do he or she need to use the potty on days I’m watching them, etc. I’ve watch dogs from all sizes to your smallest size pooch to your large teddy bear pooch. Currently my schedule is a little bit busy, but I am willing to squeeze some time to watch and take care of your furry pal/family member. I come to where your pet is most comfortable with, to me which is your own home. I don’t feel it’s comfortable to take them out of their comfort zone or a place they are familiar and comfortable. Their home is the key to keep your furry family calm, protected and safe in their home.
“April took care of our two senior dogs for two weeks. When we first met April, she clearly exhibited an understanding that caring for senior dogs necessitates dedication, flexibility, and compassion. She made time each day for cuddles, petting, and simply sitting together. These moments of quiet companionship deepened the bond and reassured both our dogs that they were safe and loved. She certainly had challenges, including changes in appetite, managing their medications and dealing with separation anxiety our dogs experienced. We enjoyed peace of mind during our vacation, confident that our pets were in April's care. She maintained consistent communication through both text messages and photos. Through these communications, we observed our dogs respond with tail wagging and gentle nuzzling. We greatly appreciate our acquaintance with April and intend to involve her in all future boarding arrangements for our pets.”
About: My name is Kennedy, and I have had pets my whole life! I have had several dogs throughout my life, the most recent being a dachshund and a black lab. I have experience with small and large dogs, and love being around both! I currently own a cat, and have become a major cat lover as well. I enjoy looking into enrichment activities for both cats and dogs, and I meet them where they’re at! I work until 3:30 pm M-F, and I am free on the weekends. During the week, I will definitely be able to do drop-ins in the evening/walks. The weekends are usually better for house sitting, but I will take it case by case! When at a clients home, I ensure to properly take care of their pet based on the clients instruction. I make sure that when out, the clients pet is on leash and always being watched.
About: I’m a former pediatric lab nurse and a longtime pet owner, so I’m very comfortable with both kids and animals who need a little extra patience. I’m detail‑oriented, reliable, and I follow instructions carefully, which is especially helpful for pets with medical needs or specific routines. I’m also used to working with anxious or high‑energy dogs and I’m happy to go slow, give them space, and help them feel safe. While my daughter is at school, I have a regular weekday window for walks and drop‑ins. I’m already out walking my own dogs most days, so adding a few Rover pets into that routine fits really naturally. I have two big dogs of my own, including a large, reactive German shepherd, so I’m very used to handling strong, high‑energy pups. I focus on safety, clear routines, and giving nervous dogs extra space and time to feel comfortable.
About: Both my wife and I have cared for pets for about 15 years now and have lots of experience with both dogs and cats. Whether it’s dogs,cats, birds, or fish we have the experience to care for them. During your pets stay you can expect daily walks and lots of play time, as well as any other special requirements that you may ask for. Rest assure your pets/family members will have the time of their life and daily pictures will be sent during their stay. If you have any questions feel free to send me a message. Having several doggos of our own we implement that into our daily routine by including them in our daily walks, and daily dog park visits. We have a big fenced in yard and live in a secure community. Working from home helps us constantly keep an eye on your pets.
“Juliana took great care of our home and our little guy, Steven. We don’t normally travel without our pets, so it meant so much to know that he was in really good hands. Juliana was attentive, communicative, and very thorough. I would ask her back any time.”

Yung-Chu is such a wonderful pet sitter! This is our second time booking with her. She checked in with ranger while we were out of town and was very responsive and always on time. She took lots of pictures and she even left us a custom magnet of Ranger when we came home from our trip. 😭 so sweet and thoughtful! We will continue to keep booking with her. Thank you for taking such good care of Ranger when we were gone! 🤎
Suzanna has helped us out in the past with out kitty needs while we were out of town and has always been great, but this time she went above and beyond. Our cats chewed through the camera cord that I use to monitor their automatic feeders and I was convinced something was wrong with 2/3 feeders. Suzanna moved her visit up to the same day I had my concerns. She switched out the camera cord, troubleshoot the feeders on the phone with us, and changed the batteries on the feeder. She gave us peace of mind while we were across country and allowed us to enjoy the rest of our trip knowing our cats were taken care of. Thank you so much!
Fiona (Ziyu) was wonderful with our three dogs! She visited prior to our booked service to meet them and engage with them, and showed up exactly as scheduled. She communicated readily and sent multiple photos. One of our dogs is very reserved and barks at new people, but she warmed up to Fiona immediately. She also went above and beyond in ensuring that our house was secured when the door code would not engage the lock properly. She called and we walked through the issue on Facetime, and she took a back up key and even made an additional trip to return the key. We highly recommend Fiona, and look forward to booking her again!
I had an incredible experience with Stacy! Leaving our newly adopted pup, Lobo, for the weekend was tough—especially since this trip was so important to our family—but Stacy put our minds completely at ease. She didn't just handle all our requests; she went above and beyond by managing unexpected weather, handling technical difficulties, and even bringing in packages that arrived early. Her care made the whole process effortless. It’s easy to see why she has so many loyal clients—she’s officially won our family over. Thank you so much, Stacy!
Nia is amazing!! I’m a VERY anxious dog mom and she has followed my list of notes every time. My girl Dream is obsessed with her and I’ve never seen her warm up so fast with someone before to the point that she hardly even noticed that I left. 😅 So thankful to have found her. ❤️
I had a great experience with Jada! The process was easy and convenient, and I felt confident knowing my pets were in good hands. Communication was great, and I really appreciated the care and attention my pets received. I would definitely use Jada again and recommend it to other pet owners!
Our fur babies absolutely LOVE Kelsie! 🥹🩷 It’s gotten to the point where they’re way more excited to see her than they are to see us, which honestly makes me so happy! 😂 Thank you again for loving and taking such good care of our fur babies! We truly appreciate you! 🩷🐾
I didn't want to leave a review because I didn't want y’all to take her from me and Layla! Lol But no... She's truly amazing, polite, respectable, & responsible. She will love your fur babies like they’re her own! If you need her to do drop-in, house-sit, she does it all and is very trustworthy! 🤍 5 stars, 10/10, definitely recommend, will book again!
Jennifer was great with my 2 senior cats. She asked lots of questions up front to be prepared and kept me updated on how they were doing. One of my cats has accidents and vomits a lot and Jennifer cleaned all the spots so I didn’t return home to a mess. Would definitely trust her to take care of my cats again.

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 .

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.
