“Dina was fantastic! She gave me the peace of mind that I needed to enjoy my trip. I looked forward to each update, and I knew that my cats were in good hands with her.”
“Kelli is amazing! My 2 cats can normally take a while to warm up to new people but they warmed up to her right away! So thankful she was able to watch my fur babies. Love that she sends pictures and videos throughout her booking! Will definitely be asking for her again:)”
“As always Sarah takes the best care of my babies. I can tell by the pics that they are always excited to see her. I have such peace of mind knowing she’s with them.”
“Dax was great with Max. Max took right to him and Dax took great care of my little guy. I highly recommend him for dog walks and sitter services. We have already booked him again for the next need. Thank you so much Dax for taking care of Max.”
“Catherine was an exceptional sitter for my cat after we had moved into our new place only a week prior. She gave her lots of attention and cuddles and updated us with tons of pictures. Highly highly recommend.”
“The best!!!! So kind and friendly! She was amazing to my girl and I’ve already rebooked her for another trip. She was referred from a friend who loves her as much as we did!”
“Kara went above and beyond to take care of our cat Mango, she even made sure to have a meet up before starting with the visits. I like how attentive she was, she sent tons of pictures and a very detailed summary of the visits, we’ll definitely contact Kara as our cat sitter again in the future! She’s great and I fully recommend her to anyone.”
“Mary was wonderful with my cat. She always was on time and followed my instructions to the T. I received texts and photos of each visit. This includes changing out the litter bag. ❤️”
“We appreciated the daily updates and it was obvious our boy was well cared for. He has a lot of separation anxiety, but he appeared completely happy and healthy without any signs of being stressed upon our return. Thank you again!”
“I am so thankful I found Julie to care for my kitties! She is professional, experienced, communicates well, and responsive to the needs of her clients. Most importantly, she genuinely cares! If you are looking for a pet sitter who is reliable, experienced, and trustworthy, then Julie is the perfect candidate. I recommend her whole-heartedly and would give her 10 stars if I could! Thank you, Julie, for taking great care of my kitties!”
“Haley did a wonderful job checking in on our Alfie! She ensured he was fed, cleaned out his litter box and disposed of the waste appropriately, played with him, and made sure he got plenty of his favorite chin scratches! This is our second time booking with Haley and we definitely plan on using her again in the future!”
“Elisa was fabulous with our Mr. Henry and went above and beyond for what was asked of her. She did 2 drop-ins for us a day and always sent pictures and was always running on schedule. SHE'S HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!”
“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“Evelyn did a great job with a not so easy Dog, or Katie. She was a great communicator, and I think Katie was happy with her visits. We will definitely ask Evelyn to sit with her again.”
“Griffin was so attentive and great with my cats! Went above and beyond to give them lots of attention on top of taking care of their basic needs. Would definitely book 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 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.

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 use the 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.
