“This was my first time leaving my dog home while going on vacation. I was nervous because he's 16 years old and I've never used a dog sitter before. But Guadalupe was great. She was very sweet with my dog, Motley, during the meet & greet. I could tell he was comfortable with her. She walked me through how to use the Rover app and was very accommodating, pleasant, and flexible with the holiday. She communicated well and I appreciated the text and photo updates. The house was exactly as I left it when I got back and I could tell my little guy was well cared for. Thank you, Guadalupe!”
“Barb spent tons of quality time with our two pups while we were gone for the day: Multiple walks and outdoor-time made for some happy dogs! We definitely recommend Barb.”
“Hope was simply amazing. She is very sweet and came over ahead of time to learn the ropes. She wanted to know where my kitties hid so she could find them and get pics for me. She made sure they had food and water and cleaned their litter boxes. I would recommend Hope to anyone at anytime.”
About: I've taken care of a variety of cats and dogs from young to old. I've pet sit for several friends and neighbors. I enjoy playing and walking dogs. I'm a teacher so I get home pretty early in the afternoon. I have several days off throughout the year, including holidays, and a flexible schedule. I don't have any pets so your pet will get all my love and attention. I live in a beautiful neighborhood to take walks. My house has plenty of room for your pet to run around and play.
About: As a stay-at-home parent I love welcome pets into our family for short term stays! Dogs love our spacious, fully fenced backyard and our kids who give them lots of snuggles and endless games of fetch! I am a stay-at-home & homeschooling parent so most of our weekdays have flexible schedules. This flexibility allows me to be able to fit our furry friends’ needs into our life! Our spacious backyard is fully fenced! Baby gates secure areas that are non pet friendly. Most importantly I am a very attentive pet-sitter and will ensure your pet is safe & secure during their time with me!
“Ashley was wonderful! Very prompt & had great communication about my pup with me. This was my first Rover experience & she made it so easy & stress-free for me. Will definitely rebook with her!”
“Teri was an excellent catsitter and really helped put our minds at ease that our cat would be well cared for while we were away. Teri was very commutative and flexible and we appreciated the detailed daily updates about our cat. We would definitely recommended and rebook with her!”
About: So let's be realistic, we have pretty busy schedules as adults. I don't though so don't feel bad when you schedule me haha. I've been a papa to the biggest of fluffers and smallest of small dogs. I'm very familiar with the feisty kittens and old grumpy cats, and at one point even a gold fish I kept for 2 years. I am no stranger to particular schedules, care routines, or special requests of animals. You got shedders? Not a problem I have lint rollers haha. I have been in customer service for years now, and every time when making someone's day easier or allowing them to feel less stress it brings me the most joy. I've been a mix of animals owner most of my life from fostering animals in need or assisting family and friends with taking care of their animals. I also supply baggies for bathroom time and long sleeves if it's chilly outside. I go on a lot of walks!! Anytime I'm not home baking or hanging out with a friend I'm normally just out and about exploring my neighborhood. My set preference schedule is actually just for when I have to either go to the gym or when I schedule appointments because Mondays work easier. Your pets are the number one priority. If they require something and I am attending them I make sure it happens. Not only is your space respected when I watch them but also the pets space. Feeding times, walk routes, and any medical requirements and boundaries will be discussed because all situations are different. If something happens like say something fell or they went potty by accident I will clean it up no problem. A work space is better when it's clean but also when it's fun!!! I do bring things like cleaning baggies and lint rollers but I can also make sure any particular scents are avoided.
“Great job. On time, dogs seemed contented. He also carefully observed our request that he not get his face close to Bertie's (he sometimes nips), yet managed to show him affection, etc.”
“This is the second summer in a row that we've booked Hannah to care for our cat while we were away on our extended vacation. We can't thank her enough for the wonderful care she gave Edison. Her regular updates and photos gave us great peace of mind, and it was clear that Edison truly enjoyed Hannah's company. We highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy pet sitter. We'll definitely book her again!”
“Faith is the best sitter I’ve ever had!!! She took great care of my 2 cats on drop ins, and even helped out when our internet went out and again when the power went out from the storms! She put all of my nerves at ease, and the cats loved her! She’s my #1. Kind, caring, attentive, and so so so helpful.”
About: My passion is taking care of animals. I've always had animals in my house growing up and currently still have a house full. I understand each animal has their own identity and quirks. I currently have a wide range of animals from 2 cats and a dog to multiple reptiles! I have an extremely flexible schedule which will allow me to be there to help with any pet care need that may arise through our the day or week. I will follow any direction of home care for you pet while you are away. I only want to keep your pet as stress free as possible.
About: I am a lifelong dog parent, with over 4 decades of experience with many different breeds; ranging from Terriers to Labs, Shepherds, Huskys, Bully Breeds, Hounds, Herding dogs, Sporting and Working breeds, Toy groups, and many mixed breeds. I am home nearly around the clock, and committed full time to giving great care and attention to my highly -valued dog guests. I have spent decades frequenting the lake county dog parks; studying their behaviors and interactions with other dogs and with people, which has been an invaluable learning experience for me. I have a very laid back and easy-going approach and style that I have had great success with in relating to and connecting with dogs and their pet parents. I am very tuned in to their body language, and very adept at reading their emotions. My home is on a 1/2 acre fenced in wooded lot with a cabin like interior and country atmosphere that is both welcoming , safe, and fun for my dog guests, and I make it a top priority to treat your dogs like family. I also have lake access with a private beach if your dog(s) like to swim. I frequent the lake county dog parks and would love to take your dogs along if that is something you are comfortable with. I am very flexible - and typically available 7 days per week. I am available nights, weekends, and holidays. Ideally allow for two days advance notice. Safety is my top priority. I have a 1/2 acre fenced in lot, and a very warm and comfortable dog friendly home, that was once a summer cottage close to Round Lake. I am on a quiet dead end road which is very safe for walks, as well as freedom to roam the yard. My goal is to customize my services to meet your dogs needs, whatever they may be. I will treat your pets as I do my own- like family- lots of fun, exercise and plenty of TLC.
About: Hello everyone! I am a mom and wife who enjoys animal friends. I’ve raised and cared for many varieties of animals. I have experience with the tiniest fur babies to the biggest! Do to my current work schedule I will no longer be offering boarding services for dogs. However, I am open to walking and drop in services. My only requirement for bookings is that your fur baby has all the items needed to be comfortable. That includes food, leashes, harnesses, etc. Also furry loved ones should be up to date on all shots and not showing any signs of illness. If I am taking care of someone’s fur baby I will not double book. My apologies for any inconvenience this may cause but I want to ensure safety, time, and attention for pets while they are in my care. Do to COVID-19 being a concern for some, we have followed the recommended CDC guidelines. Additionally, everyone within our home has been vaccinated. Should you like for me to wear a mask during my booked service time, please do not hesitate to reach out and I will be more than happy to accommodate. I work from home. I have plenty of flexibility to adjust to a dog/cat’s recommended routine. I have more availability on the weekends to provide services. If your pet is scheduled with me, I aim to provide them with lots of love and attention! I make sure to provide updates during each booking no matter how big or small it may be.
About: We are animal lovers who would love to have your dog or cat stay overnight, for a weekend or a week! We currently have three dogs and 4 cats. We also have various foster dogs at any given time. Some are a little shy but they are all socialized and well behaved. We prefer to take the dogs on a walk when meeting but the interaction is entirely dependent on you and your dogs comfort level since you know your best friend best. We have a fenced in backyard perfect for running and playing. We try to walk the dogs several times a week. Although we have a crate, we don't use it unless your dog is not house broken or if your furry friend needs some alone time while eating. Come on by for a "bark, sniff and greet". We have plenty of doggie beds and cat perches so that your furry friend will feel right at home. We treat all dogs like family so you have no worries while on vacation! I work from home part time so I am available to take care of your furry friends. My personal dogs love other dogs and are very eager to greet new dogs. I have a fenced in yard that backs up to a creek. My neighbors on one side have chickens and on the other side the neighbor has a dog.
About: I have worked professionally in the dog care industry for 3 years as a Doggy Daycare Attendant and Professional Dog Bather. During that time, I have cultivated skills that include puppy and senior canine care, administering topical and oral medications, and assisting physically disabled pets. I understand that every pet has unique needs, and I am happy to tailor my care to the specific requirements a pet parent has described. I am available 9 am-6 pm, Tuesday through Saturday, every week for drop-in visits, walks, and playtimes. My schedule will be updated if and when my responsibilities change. I am happy to follow specific instructions in your home and on your property when taking care of your pet. Please let me know if you'd like shoes removed at the door, rooms to remain unaccessed, where you would like pets kept once I leave the premises, and any other important details about your home and pet.
“Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.”

Courtney was very punctual and was flexible to get us care last minute. She was very thoughtful in meeting us and Coco beforehand which made us feel very comfortable that Coco was in good hands. She sent pictures and notes and all went very well. We would have her again for sure. Thx Courtney

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 .

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.
