“Shelby is such a wonderful sitter! She is kind, responsive, and takes great care of my fur baby. I appreciate the regular updates and quick responses, as it gives me so much peace of mind while away. She was even willing to extend the stay last minute when we had a flight cancelled.”
“Thank you so much Natasha for a last minute drop in. I know he is in good hands when you visit. Your instincts with him are always spot on! Thanks again for another great visit.”
“Our pups took to Olivia during the meet and greet, before we even finalized her services. She’s extremely kind and very thoughtful about learning how to care for your pups individual needs. We felt extremely comfortable with Olivia and could tell our pups were too. We absolutely loved the photos that were shared with us during her drop-in visit and could see how happy they were to have her give them some midday attention. Highly recommend Olivia and plan on requesting her services again in the near future. Thanks, Olivia!”
“I feel confident when I leave for work that my dog Gemma is in great hand with Karen, Karen is a great communicator, and responsive to request to care for you pet. I’m fortunate to have found her on Rover!”
“Dennis did ann excellent service with my companions, Tigger and Skye – he took perfect care of them! Tigger and Skye were clearly happier and more at ease after Dennis’s visits. His attentive care and general interactions with my furry family made a real difference in their daily routines and well-being. We give 5 stars and a wagging tails – a trusted, reliable caregiver, and I happily recommend Dennis to fellow pet parents seeking top-notch, trustworthy care for their beloved pets.”
About: I have a special love for dogs and walking! Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me for years to take care of their pets. I currently work full time. I am available after 4pm M-F and all day on weekends. I’d love to take your pets out on busy evenings or weekends! I offer pet watching at other clients homes. My current roommate has a dog and for safety and comfort I’d like your pet in their own home and environment.
“luna is absolutely amazing!! super flexible and accommodating for my sweet baby clementine! she is super communicative and kept me updated when she arrived and met clementine for the first time. i would absolutely book luna again!!! XD”
About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give each pet. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, comfort level, and quirks, and I take the time to learn what makes each one feel safe and happy. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to the little things—from making sure a nervous pup feels comfortable to keeping an energetic dog entertained and giving senior pets the extra patience and care they need. I’m also very conscientious about following feeding schedules, medications or special instructions, exercise routines, and each owner’s preferences. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and care for them as I would want someone to care for my own. My goal is for your dog to have a fun, comfortable experience while giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away. My schedule gives me the flexibility to provide consistent, dependable care throughout the week. I’m able to plan my day around my pet-care commitments, including walks, drop-ins, and extended visits, rather than rushing through them. I’m flexible with scheduling and understand that every pet has different needs and routines. I’m happy to work with owners on feeding times, walks, playtime, and other care instructions to keep their pets as comfortable and happy as possible. When I commit to caring for a pet, I make them a priority—not just another stop on my schedule. 🐾 Safety and trust are my top priorities. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, triggers, feeding instructions, exercise needs, and any special care before I begin. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully and keep a close eye on pets throughout their visit, walks, or stay. In a client’s home, I treat their space with the same respect I would expect for my own. I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure, keep pets away from anything potentially unsafe, and leave the home clean and secure when I leave. Whether I’m caring for a pet in their home or taking them for a walk, I want both the pet and their owner to feel comfortable and confident. I’ll provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for. 🐾
“Tom was amazing! Usually when we are away Gus protests by not eating or being skiddish. He seemed so happy. Tom was super responsive and let us know everything we needed to know about Gus while we were away.”
“Maya was so helpful and flexible! She was able to stay longer than we initially asked her to and to alter the times to accommodate our last-minute change in schedule. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: I have dog sat for a handful of people over the years. Some new clients and some faithful returning ones that become family friends. Some have needed medication and lots of walks, some just needed a friend, I love doing anything/everything. I do not currently own any pets and would love to be outside and more active. I would be available to do walks/drop ins around 3:30pm-9pm Monday-Thursday and most times Fridays-Sundays. Dog sitting availability depends on needs and pet schedule but please reach out about anything! I have worked with crates, dog doors, or dogs being inside all day and need walks/potty breaks. I hope we can work something out between us and your loved fur baby.
About: I am skilled in caring for fur and feathered pets. I have and am comfortable with administering oral and topical medications as well as subcutaneous and intramuscular shots I am currently available 7 days a week for in-home visits and overnights. I have a 10 lb 2-year-old poodle mix who accompanies me on visits when allowed by pet parents While in your home I will maintain a clean, safe and hygienic environment while performing pampering comprehensive pet care including feeding, watering and exercising. I will provide regular updates to pet owners via text, email, or photos
About: I grew up around various different dogs and have experience ranging from dog sitting, working at boarding facilities, fostering, and basic training. I’ve worked with many different breeds and work on positive reinforcement based training on my walks to improve leash manners and confidence. Dogs in my care receive both physical and mental exercise through walks, play, scent games, and training. I am open to working with reactive dogs or fearful dogs. If you have an intact male, please message me prior to booking. I look forward to loving your pup! I’m a teacher which means I’m home for the summer! I’m available all day, everyday to give your pup all the love and attention they deserve! I always like to do a meet and greet with dogs prior to boarding so I can better understand their needs and so they can get to know me. I take various safety measures based on each dogs needs. This may include double leashing, using a slip or martingale collar, or walking in quiet locations.
About: Hi there! My name is Logan, and I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets through Rover and in my personal life. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs and cats with different personalities, energy levels, routines, and needs. My goal is simple: make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I understand that every animal is different, and I’m happy to follow the routine you already have in place. Whether that means specific feeding times, walks, potty schedules, crate routines, medications or special instructions, lots of exercise, or simply keeping them company, I’ll make sure your pet receives the care they’re accustomed to. I’m also attentive to body language and behavioral cues, which helps me recognize what an animal needs and adjust accordingly. I also have hands-on training experience. I personally trained my Siberian Husky, Atlas, and completed training classes with him through Petco. Working with a high-energy and intelligent breed has given me plenty of experience with patience, consistency, exercise, boundaries, and keeping dogs mentally stimulated. For dogs who love to stay active, I have a large, securely fenced backyard with plenty of room to run and play, along with trails and walking routes nearby. For dogs who prefer a quieter stay, I’m just as happy providing a comfortable environment, attention, and companionship at their own pace. I’m also very comfortable caring for cats and understand that they often require a different approach. Whether your cat wants to follow me around all day or would rather have their own space, I’ll respect their personality and make sure their normal routine is maintained. Most importantly, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care. I’ll treat your pet like a member of the family, follow your instructions closely, and keep you updated so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is in experienced and caring hands. I normally have a flexible routine that can be worked around whatever is best for you and your furball. I do ask for a few hours notice to be available. I treat your home as my own and your pets as my own. I normally like to keep things clean, cozy, and respectful. I feel like that’s the normal experience anyone wants when walking into a home or meeting someone for the first time. So why not make it any everything you do type of thing!
About: I have been raised around pets my entire life. I trained my own dog when I was 13 and have had my own cat for about 4 years. I love animals and used to always pet sit for family and friends I work full time. I am free early mornings and after six on Sundays and Mondays are completely open to taking care of animals of all kinds. Mondays and Tuesdays are typically free all day for loads of playing and fun. I have a fully fenced yard with lots of property to play on. I have a dog and cat of my own that I love longs walks and sunbathing. I am familiar with lots of dog parks and animal friendly parks as well.

I am highly vigilant and responsible, I take pride in keeping your home and pets safe and sound! I keep your pets on their natural feeding, playing, potty, and sleeping schedules while you are away! I am always easy to communicate with and care greatly about keeping pet owners in the know!
About: I’ve taken care of many dogs over the years. My friends and neighbors have asked me to walk them or house sit for their dogs many times. On weekends I have a lot of free time during the day and it could be very useful to be outside and interact with different dogs. A fenced yard in the back for them to have fun and for them to take care of their business. We have play toys that they love to play with.
About: I have cared for dogs and cats throughout my lifetime. I am a pet-assisted therapy researcher and truly believe in the mind and body benefits of caring for animals. The human - animal bond is very real and knowing my dog is being cared for by a responsible and caring individual while I am away is so important. Hence, I provide the same excellent care I expect of someone caring for Soley. I am a semi-retired university professor and I walk my dog every day on average 5 miles. I provide clean and caring pet services for family and friends. I have excellent references. I am a neat conscious and very clean person. I believe in providing my pets the same standard of cleanliness as I do myself and other guests. I am mindful of dogs interacting with other dogs and people when walking them. They are always on a leash.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lincoln
Bailey was quick to earn the trust of my finicky and sometimes skittish Persian boy kitty. He became so comfortable with Bailey that she was able to keep him well-groomed in my absence. I highly recommend Bailey as the perfect person to provide loving care for your exotic breeds.
Jessica is our go-to sitter. She takes care of our fur family while we're gone - but more importantly than just making sure our kitties have food, water and litter, she spends time with them - makes sure they get treats, and spends a little time playing with them. That's so important to keep them enriched, since we are not home to do this. On top of that, she keeps up with cleaning the cat litter and cat messes that they make while we're gone. She is the best sitter we've ever used, and we've used her services a number of times now - and will keep doing so for our trips where the kitties can't go with us.
Kim has become our go-to sitter. She has taken care of our cat multiple times now and it gives us such peace of mind knowing Marley is in good hands. Kim is not only reliable but flexible. Our plans changed from leaving in a month to leaving in just a couple of days, over a holiday weekend no less, and she was able to accommodate our last minute changes. We couldn't be happier and will continue to book with her in the future.
Aaron was very good with my dog Axel and helpful with my separation anxiety leading up to my vacation. He was consistent in his drop in visits and gave thorough reports on my dog to help me feel better and keep track of how my dog was fairing while I was away. He is very friendly and knowledgeable about dogs, and will take care of your pet like they are his own. 5 out of 5 stars, would hire again.
Sarah, as always, is amazing. I trust her to care for and love my critters like her own. My geriatric kitty cat hauls her old bones out of her heated cat bed to climb down the stairs and greet Sarah. I've seen her do it, and she doesn't even get herself up to greet ME! She's particular and crotchety as all hell, but she loves Sarah. Honestly, there's no greater evidence that somebody is good people as when an old calico gives her stamp of approval consistently. Neko thinks a visit from Auntie Sarah is the best thing. Only just slightly less so then a Churu, IYKYK!!

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 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.
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 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.
