“Glowing reviews for Forest! I needed to find care for my dog and cat while I travelled over Thanksgiving weekend. Forest was very responsive and attentive to detail. The pics provided each visit showed how happy and at peace my pets are with them. I will definitely be booking them again the next time I travel.”
“Carole was super dropping in on Ruby every day at noon to get her outside to eat and play. She was helpful giving us tips with our new puppy too. It was such a relief to read and see in pictures how well Ruby was cared for each day. We’ll be calling on Carole again soon!”
“Alex did a great job looking after our dogs during drop-in visits and was a great communicator while we were away. Our dogs were well taken care of and we highly recommend Alex to look after your pets!”
“We were out of the country for 2 weeks and it’s the longest time we’ve ever left the cats and Courtney made sure to send us so many photos and updates when she visited. She also goes above and beyond. We didn’t know we had a HelloFresh and she put it away for us. The best ❤️”
About: I am a UVA grad who has trained many dogs including the two I have now, a border collie and a mutt, who are currently on vacation. I’ve taken care of many neighbors and family friends’ dogs of all ages as well, walking, feeding, and playing with them! I currently am not working as I am moving to Australia in October, so I am free almost any day and anytime to care for your dog! I have a dog-friendly home with a crate, fenced-in back yard, and toys and treats galore located in an extremely dog friendly neighborhood
“We haven’t used a dog walker before, but when we needed one for a short period Fatima was a great one. She was conscientious, prompt and she and my pup hit it off immediately. It’s very comforting to know that our baby was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Carrie took such great care of our kitty cat princess while we were away! She was very communicative and sent over great picture updates. We will definitely be using her services again in the future!”
“Chelsea was fantastic! She provided me with detailed updates each day and a plethora of pictures of my fur babies! My pets seemed to take to her really quickly. I would definitely rebook with her for future needs.”
“Katherine was great about showing up consistently at the agreed-upon times and accommodating all my instructions and requests. I was able to enjoy my time away free from worry, knowing that my cats were being well cared for. Would happily hire her again.”
“Andrea was amazing for our pups first time having a dog walker. She stayed over the time to ensure that all of her bathroom needs were met and was great at communicating with us”
“Maxine was so helpful for daily check-ins for our puppy, Nala! She sent great photo updates and checked in as needed. She is flexible and asked great questions to make sure she stuck to the routine we have going. We will definitely contact Maxine in the future for walks!”
“Melianna was fantastic with my boy, kept me updated for each visit with pictures and went above and beyond with him in my absence! 10/10, 5 stars, full recommendation on my part”
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a young child, and have a deep love for animals. I have two fur babies of my own: one since he was puppy and the other since he was 1. I trained them both, and especially offered additional support and love to my one dog who was a rescue after being a surrender. I have incredible patience, and offer a safe, healthy, and loving environment for your precious fur baby. I currently work from home full time so your fur baby will never be deprived of attention. I have lots of dog toys, 2 dogs who are wonderful with other dogs, so your pup will have lots of stimulation. We will be sure to go on plenty of walks to get fresh air and time outside. Although I do not have a fenced yard, your pup will not have to worry about getting time outside. We will take plenty of walks. My 2 dogs are very social and love to interact with other dogs. If I am coming into your home, I will follow all directions you provide, and ensure your fur baby feels comfortable.
About: We’ve always had a love for animals and have experience caring for pets with different personalities, routines, and needs. We currently have a dog and a cat of our own, so we understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets. We’re comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, potty breaks, litter box care, and plenty of attention and companionship. We’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages during each visit. Our goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and loved while you’re away. We’ll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect we’d want for our own. We have flexible weekday and weekend availability. One of us is typically available on weekdays before 1:30 PM, while the other is available after 3 PM. Most weekends are open as well, and we’ll keep our Rover calendar updated so you can easily see our availability. We take your pets’ safety seriously and will follow their normal routines and your care instructions closely. We’re comfortable caring for pets in their own homes and will always be mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and other potential safety concerns.
About: I grew up with a house full of pets including cats, dogs, and budgies. Currently I have my own cat Cloe and a turtle named Joe. I have experience caring for my elderly childhood cat who requires chemo pills, laxatives, and special food. Im currently searching for employment so my schedule is completely open. Can work weekends and weekdays at any time, preferably weekdays 10 am to 5pm. At my apartment I care for my 4 year old feline. She likes to play with her string toy and watch cat tv. Shes very food motivated so we always have treats on hand. At my parents house we have a fenced in backyard for the dog and lots of indoor space for their 4 cats. My childhood cat needs medication and special food so he is fed seperately from the other 3 cats. Every cat i've ever owend has been exclusively indoor.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Legato
Excellent Rover. My family needed a Rover VERY last minute to take care of our cat. Mallory was responsive, kind, courteous and easy to work with. We tend to like to do a meet and greet before hiring a Rover but didn’t have time this go round. Mallory put us at ease with how easy she was to work with!
We had a wonderful experience with Karen! She was very communicative and took excellent care of our 3 cats while we were out of town and truly put our minds at ease. Our cats tend to be shy around new people, but they loved snuggling up with Karen! Thank you for going above and beyond!
I used Carole for the first time and she was fantastic. She’s so kind and easy to talk to, she became an Instant friend. She was dependable, responsive, and took such great care of pickles. He’s a timid cat and she was able to get him out on his own and within a day was getting belly rubs and looking forward to her arrival. She encouraged play and left little treats around the house for him to find, keeping him active while I was away. I will definitely use her again.
Courtney took incredible care of our four kitties while we were out of town for the weekend! We hadn't used Rover before so were a bit nervous when we were first searching for a sitter, but she came over for a meet-and-greet before we left and gave us detailed updates with lots of photos each time she came over to take care of them. 100% would recommend, amazing experience, will be booking with her again!
Courtney is outstanding!!! She takes such great care of our 15year old sweet dog and as a bonus…her pictures are simply the best! All our favorite pictures of our dogs have come from Courtney’s visits! She is a fantastic communicator and is always so responsible!! Your animals are in the best hands with her!!
Fatima was wonderful with Hyori! She was punctual, responsible, kept us updated, and sent pictures throughout our trip. We were especially nervous about Hyori’s insulin, but Fatima followed all of our instructions perfectly and made sure she ate, got her shot, and had plenty of playtime. We felt very comfortable knowing Hyori was in such great hands. We would definitely hire Fatima again!
We highly recommend Susannah for your pet sitting needs, she is wonderful. She took care of all 3 of our pets as well as our fish! She was thorough in the feeding, cleaning up after, etc. and was in constant communication every day. She is wonderful, book her!!! 😀😁

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.
