“Ali is amazing! You can tell she really loves animals and caring for them as well as little things around the house. So glad we found her on Rover.com and will totally ask her again to watch our Golden and Berner.”
“Jodie was absolutely incredible! We felt completely at ease knowing our animals were in her care. She went above and beyond, and it was obvious how much attention, care, and love she gave them while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, which means everything to us. We loved Jodie and will 100% trust her with our animals again. She will be our first call anytime we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend her!”
About: I’ve always loved dogs, but my experience goes well beyond being a dog lover. In just one year, I fostered 100 dogs through a local rescue, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all different personalities, energy levels, ages, and needs. That experience taught me how important it is to meet each dog where they are—whether they’re playful and energetic, a little nervous in a new environment, or simply happiest sticking to their familiar routine. I provide home-based boarding and daycare with a maximum of 3 guest dogs at a time. I work from home, so dogs get plenty of companionship and attention throughout the day, along with access to our fenced outdoor yard for play and fresh air (always with supervision). I also love keeping owners connected while they’re away, so I regularly send photos and video updates to let you know how your pup is doing. My goal is simple: provide a safe, comfortable, loving home where your dog gets the individual attention they deserve—not just a place to stay. I work from home, so I’m able to provide plenty of companionship and supervision throughout the day. I have three kids part-time, so I occasionally step away for school drop-off/pickup or an appointment, but dogs are otherwise part of my normal daily routine. I’m happy to work with you on drop-off and pickup times to make things as convenient as possible. I keep things intentionally small, with a maximum of 3 guest dogs at a time, so each dog gets plenty of attention and supervision. Dogs stay in our home and have access to a secure, fenced yard for outdoor time and play. With my experience fostering 100 dogs, I’m comfortable getting to know each dog’s personality, routine, and individual needs. I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and videos so you can relax knowing your pup is safe, happy, and well cared for.

“Christina was so amazing watching our three kitties while we were away for 9 days. She communicated if she had any questions and gave me great updates to how they were doing every day. Our cats don’t typically like strangers but just after a couple days they warmed up to her and were giving her love and seemed really happy.”
About: I have been pet sitting on and off for the past 20 years. I do have two cats but I can separate them away from pet. I am good with all types of different pets. I am home during the day and so I will be able to spend a lot of time with your pet. I have time to walk and play with dogs and spend time with cats. I have a large yard just outside my home where the pet can play. I live in a quiet area so the animals will not be disturbed.
About: I have experience walking dogs up to 200lbs and cats up to 20lbs. I love touching up on basic manners while walking, and always clean up after us! I like reptiles and caged animals, though I don’t have much experience with birds. Happy to provide pics, walks, and pet/brush sessions. My weekday mornings are usually errands, with wide open afternoons. I can do small check ins on weekends, if needed. Ideally, I can help during 8-3pm. I am respectful of your privacy, and will only interact with the pets and necessary rooms. I can stay for up to 30m at a time for pets/brushes or cleaning up waste
About: I grew up in the country and my family bred dogs since I was very little. We have always had a house full of pups and it will always be part of my life. I treat all pups like part of the family and will provide the most excellent care for your fur babes. I work from home so am always around. I have a doggie door if your pup can use it or can let them out at any time. Can add doggies to the dog park run club if they are able. We do daily walks around the neighborhood, too. Doggies can have their own room or be crated if needed. My home has a doggie door. Closed at night. And many separate rooms if needed for more exclusive needs. I work from home so am always around and can handle more complex needs or high energy. My house also has security cameras all around and locked and blocked fences, as well as great neighbors.
“Casey checked on Franklin for me late as I work overnight. She was super sweet and very informative even going out of her way to clean up a possible accident from him!!! I’d 100% recommend Casey and use her again!”
“Juliana was a great help when it came time to find a cat sitter over the holiday! It was a last minute booking but her quick communication and welcoming persona was reassuring that I was leaving my pet in good hands. She’s hardworking, exceptionally punctual, and was wonderful with keeping me up to date and letting me know what my cat was up to during the day. Thanks Juliana!”
About: I have been dog-sitting for friends for the past two years and cat-sitting for the past five. I love and welcome all breeds big and small into my home. Your furry friend will enjoy a fenced-in yard, walks through the park, and plenty of snuggles and love! I am able to give them meals and outdoor time anytime throughout the day, and can be with them full-time. I'm currently between jobs so I have plenty of time to care for your animals. I am available to drop in at anytime to check on cats and other animals, or house them at my own home as well. I have a fenced in yard, so your pup can have frequent potty breaks. I live in a quiet neighborhood near walking trails so can also take dogs for walks as frequently as needed. Dogs/cats will have access to the ground floor of the house and the backyard (for dogs) at all times. I can watch multiple pets as well if you have more than one, and have experience sitting up to three dogs simultaneously. I can drop in to check on, feed, clean litter boxes, etc. for cats at any time throughout the day, early morning into the night. I have no pets of my own at the moment so it is perfect for animals that need a peaceful environment.
“Do yourself a favor and book Cassie. She is AMAZING with our three cats and sent us so many pictures and videos — it put huge smiles on our faces every day we were away!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Leyden
Ali was incredibly professional and worked so well with our senior cat who at first was very skittish and standoffish and avoidant of Ali whenever she'd come by to make an introduction... The very first day she sat for our pet, my cat was all over her showing signs of deep relaxation and happiness that she normally reserves for us. We have absolutely no complaints and absolutely no notes. Great service, great pet sitter.
Shannon took wonderful care of our two cats, and was able to accommodate our need for twice a day visits with no problem. She was communicative, reliable, and great with our shy kitty. In fact, our shy cat seemed to like her right away and didn’t employ his usually hide and hunger strike tactics! We will definitely book Shannon again, and highly recommend her!
Jodie was absolutely incredible! We felt completely at ease knowing our animals were in her care. She went above and beyond, and it was obvious how much attention, care, and love she gave them while we were away. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets, which means everything to us. We loved Jodie and will 100% trust her with our animals again. She will be our first call anytime we need a pet sitter. Highly recommend her!
Vanessa took great care of my two cats. She was very communicative and thoughtful about their individual needs. One of my cats is more timid, and she made sure he still ate by moving his bowl to where he was hiding so he could eat where he felt safe. She gave both cats lots of attention, and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care.
Emily was amazing! We needed someone to feed/let out my dog for a few days in pretty short notice. She treated Kobe so well and always gave me updates while we were gone. I would recommend Emily to anyone looking for a sitter/check-in! Thank you so much Emily!

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.
