“Corey and Stacy took great care of my fur babies! One of my dogs is a little high maintenance and needs a little extra care and they took care of him with no issues. I would highly recommend them to anyone!!”
“Jada went above and beyond for us tonight by accident rover had the wrong address listed and when she found out she was willing to go to our actual house, which is 30 minutes across town to make sure our babies were let out and able to go potty I cannot tell you how grateful we are for her being able to do that and to deal with our hard to handle Little Alaskan Klee Kai who is very scared of new who is very skinny of new people of new people and does not have the best socialization skills.”
“I loved having Skylar take care of my 2 reptile babies. She kept my chameleon and bearded dragon happy and healthy while I was away. Skylar is super reliable, attentive, sweet and sent me very cute pics, and tidied up their enclosures. Totally recommend! 🦎🌟”
“Riley was so awesome, I cannot recommend her enough! Very prompt, very efficient, she communicated well and was always on time. We would love to rebook with her if we need assistance again. Thanks so much!!!”
“Susan was absolutely amazing! My boys just needed to be dropped in on and fed but she went above and beyond and stuck around and made sure they got some love. Litter box was cleaned daily, she was also on time for feedings so they weren’t thrown off schedule. Absolutely awesome! Will book again”
“The photos that Jennifer sent belong on an ad campaign for Rover. My little guy looked like he was having a blast. He doesn't get too many visitors so he was a little apprehensive at first, but Jennifer did a great job getting him to relax and it sounds like they had a great time.”
“Celia does a great job! She spent time with all three of our dogs and attended to each one’s individual needs. We are so happy to have connected with Celia and look forward to helping us out with our dogs in the future. It’s a relief for us to know they are well taken care of when we are not able to be there to do it ourselves.”
“My dogs had a great time with the drop in visits with Destinee. She came within the time frame I requested. Her photos kept me up to date. The dogs were taken care of like they were hers. Thank you for a great service. I'll definitely rebook with Destinee.”
“Alicia is the best! Our miniature long haired dachshund had never been by himself overnight - only at someone’s home. Alicia took excellent care of him and he did great with the drop-in visits. She provided him a with plenty of pictures. I highly recommend Alicia! Beth”

About: I am an outgoing medical assistant applying to physician assistant school. I love exercise so I am happy to walk your dogs. I am cpr certified and my sister is a vet tech who taught me cpr on animals such as dogs in case of an emergency. My fiancé and I own 3 dogs and they are super friendly. We have trained them to be calm and also crate trained. I love playing and providing constant care to all dogs and making sure all their needs are met. I am so excited that I am getting the opportunity to watch and care for your sweet babies. I have a very flexible schedule, and am available most days as while as nights to care for your fur babies. I work remotely therefore my time is open. In my home, we have a lot of space in and outside. We have a fence surrounding our home. I also take them on walks within our neighborhood, and provide a bunch of mentally stimulating toys and treats to my pups!
About: I’ve been surrounded by loving, goofy dogs and an endless amount of fur my entire life. I’ve grown up with a golden retriever and a golden retriever/GSD mix, and am now the proud Auntie to two golden-retrievers and a golden retriever/black lab mix. I also have extensive experience pet sitting for my family and our family friends, successfully caring for both large and small breeds. I can wrangle pups with boundless energy, manage medication regimens, and provide a calm environment for those that need a little extra attention or time to warm up to someone new. Goldens, schnauzers, labs, pits, shih tzus…all are welcome to join the fun! Trusting me with your pet is a privilege I hope to earn, by ensuring the following when you book with me: -Consistent communication-coordinating appointments, any hiccups, and of course pictures of your pets having the best time upon request! -Reliability with appointments, and prompt notification of any conflicts or emergencies that may arise which would impact your appointment. -Adherence to your specific care routine for your pup-think crating when alone, using certain leads/harnesses on walks, providing medication as needed, etc. -Patience with pets as they get used to a new person in their environment, both with me and being conscientious of your pet’s boundaries during walks through the neighborhood. Is your pup not a social butterfly and prefers a wider personal bubble? No problem! My top priority is ensuring that your pet is safe, has their needs met, and is able to relax and just have fun being a dog! I want you to have peace of mind that your best friend is being taken care of, so you can enjoy the extra freedom and flexibility you need in your schedule. In terms of my schedule, I work full time, but I have more flexibility in the evenings. I’m your gal if you work second shift, have a hard time making it home in between shuttling kids between after-school sports and activities, or are looking to adventure out a bit more on a weekend. I will treat your pet like family while out on walks in the neighborhood or while caring for them in your home. My goal is to always make sure your pets are comfortable, relaxed, and having a great time when I'm interacting with them. I'm familiar with dogs from puppyhood to senior status, and am able to adjust my care to their needs. -Drop ins: I am respectful of my clients' homes and yards, leaving them just as clean and secure as they were when I arrived. I ensure I follow any reasonable care requests that help keep your pet in their routine. -Walks/outdoor time: Confident dog-walker who feels comfortable walking both small and larger dog breeds. I am cautious to make sure passersby do not approach, especially with other animals, unless it is permitted by the owner and the dog is comfortable. Keeps dogs on-leash unless in a fenced in backyard.

Destinee has been so helpful with drop-in visits for my sweet dog, Newton! She sends detailed summaries, potty info, and pictures with every visit. Destinee is quick to communicate, flexible, trustworthy, and will love your dog as if it’s her own! So grateful to have found her!
Aimee was absolutely amazing with our 2 cats. We were away and were not able to communicate but we know our cats were in good hands. Aimee was always on time and always went above and beyond so our cats never felt lonely. Aimee even got our super elusive Kulfi to come out for pets and treats! We will definitely book her services again.
Kelli was great with our three cats! One of our girls is very shy and doesn’t always like to meet new people, but she really liked Kelli and that made me feel so much better! I asked her if she would be able to do a few extra things around the house (set the trash on the curb, sweep up litter, etc) and she did so with no complaints! I will definitely be booking her again
Cory & Stacey did a wonderful job taking care of our bearded dragon and feral cat colony. They took photos daily and gave me updates and even checked my bearded dragons basking light temp to make sure he was getting what he needed and got him some carrots on their own since he wasn’t eating well. Thank you so much! Took so much anxiety away from me while traveling!

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 .

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.
