“Eliza is absolutely wonderful with my fur babies and gave me such peace of mind while I’m at work. She is reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring. I really appreciated that she never rushed her visits and stayed for the full time I booked. She takes the time to make sure my dogs are comfortable, happy, and well cared for.”
“Rachel did a great job taking care of our cat, Chong! Rachel sent us a detailed update after each visit, along with pictures. She also brought in an Amazon package that was delivered in our absence, which I had not asked her to do. We appreciate the extra initiative! Thank you Rachel! Dave and Pat”
About: I’ve been around and cared for dogs throughout my life, including my own growing up and dogs belonging to friends and family. I have experience with dogs of different ages, including senior dogs, and I’m comfortable with walks, checkins, feeding, playtime, and keeping them company while you’re away. I know every dog is different, so I’m happy to learn their routine and follow whatever works best for them. I work a consistent Monday through Friday schedule and am generally available after work, with more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to discuss timing and your pet’s routine before booking to make sure I can provide the care they need. I know how much trust goes into leaving your pet in someone else’s care. I’m happy to follow whatever routines, instructions, or precautions you have in place and will always ask if I’m unsure about something. I’m also happy to send updates and photos while you’re away so you know how things are going.
“Alexis is a very dependable and caring sitter for our cat Charlie. We really appreciate her effort to play with, feed and spend her time with Charlie when we are away.”
“Ellie dropped in the visit our hamster while we were on vacation. She is very detail oriented and responsible. Great communication. Highly recommend and we will definitely be using her again during future trips.”
“Grace was excellent with taking care of my two older kitties! They’re both on medications and she was able to administer without issues. She’s reliable and had great communication.”
About: With 15 years of experience, I provide reliable, compassionate pet care including walks, boarding, behavior modification, puppy training, senior care, medication administration, and personalized attention. My flexible schedule allows availability mornings, afternoons, evenings, weekends, holidays, and last-minute requests, ensuring dependable care whenever you and your pets need me most consistently. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities. I provide a safe, trustworthy, clean, low-stress environment where every pet feels loved, secure, always.
“Great communication and clearly has an enthusiasm and love for animals. We felt Delaney took great care of our beloved tortie. Look forward to booking you again in the future =]”
“Xavier is reliable punctual and fantastic as always. He is detailed oriented and follows instructions well. I will book him again and I would absolutely trust him with my dog. I'm glad that I can have someone as reliable as him with my dog. We have communications so you can rest easy leaving him with your fur babies.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. Dog, cats, a bunny, all types. I currently have one adorable cat named Callie. I love any animal! I am very active but also easy going. If your dog needs a short walk, a cuddle, play time, or a full blown hike I can accommodate any need. I am very reliable and punctual as well. I am a nurse (of people haha) obviously very different but I am comfortable with meds if that is something that is necessary as well. I am willing to learn how they are administered. I learn quickly and can adapt to your pet’s needs and routine. I am a part time nurse so I can be home with my kids. I have a very open schedule and will do my best to accommodate your pets needs. I will adapt to any routine your pet has in your home. I can feed them, go for walks, play fetch, cuddles, change litter boxes, whatever they may need.
“Mia was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very professional, sweet, patient and welcomed the long list of things to know about my dog! She was always in communication, always there when she said she would be, flexible, and did all of the things that made me feel comfortable with her taking care of my baby. I would absolutely highly, highly recommend Mia and will definitely be using her services again in the future! Thank you Mia and Rover!”
“Amazing person who really Gets to know your pet. Emma looks forward to seeing Chrystal every time she comes to care for her. Chrystal always sends updates and pictures which are very reassuring as well. 6 STARS!!!”
“Allyssah was great with my three dogs during her drop in visits. She took the time to meet them while I was home prior to the visits and was very friendly and asked good questions to make sure she was prepared. She was very punctual and sent lots of pictures and updates. I would book her again!”
“Jonathan was a lifesaver when prior a pet sitter canceled last minute, and in a way I’m happy it turned out that way! You can tell from the minute you meet him he genuinely cares for your animals like they are his own and makes every effort to show it. He even crocheted a blanket for our kitty! My husband and I never had to worry a day while we were on our vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We cannot begin to thank you enough!”

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.
