“Our two cats do not get along. Despite their territorial spats, Patrick has somehow managed to get our trouble makers to play nice! I am astounded to come home from our trips to find the cats as best buddies. Our home is automated for food and water, but the mental stimulation from quality playtime is something you cannot simulate from a machine. According to our two cats, they give him 4 paws up! You can expect from Patrick a sitter that follows directions, thoughtful comments, excellent photos, and reliable availability. Thank you!”
“Taylor does a wonderful job tending to the individual needs of our four cats. He goes above and beyond to make sure our cats and home are cared for and is very communicative. He even sweeps up the litter trails that our cats leave! I would certainly recommend him and will use him anytime he’s got the availability!”
“Richard did a wonderful job on the drop-in visits. He proved himself to be a real neighbor, spending time with my senior dogs and making sure they eat their meals. When thunderstorms came through, knowing how jittery they get, he made sure they were safe and in the house until the storms blew through. Thank you, Richard! You helped out in so many ways, all the reviews I’ve read about you were all true! Looking forward to letting you take care of my girls the next time!”
About: I am very passionate about animals. So much so that I’m even studying to be a zoologist! I’ve had pets since I was 9 and have petsit since I was 11. I’ve owned a dog, cats, lizards, amphibians, and fish! I’m happy to petsit for any animal. I’m currently on summer break so I am basically free whenever you need me! Although, once I start school in mid August, I will only be available on weekends or nights. My goal is to have a safe, happy, healthy, tired, and full pet by the end of our playtime! When I’m petsitting my attention is 100% focused on your pet. I like to send photo updates too!🐱🐶🦎
“Jessica was great with my two kitties! It’s obvious she loves animals. Even though I was kind of out of cell service for most of my trip, it was great to get the updates and pictures and videos of my babies and know that they were in good hands.”
About: I've been caring for and walking dogs for about 3 years.I am able to keep to a regular routine of walks, mealtimes, and general care. I currently work at home and have a flexible schedule. I can make it over for mealtimes/walks/ or general care at a time that is convenient for you and your furry family member so their schedule does not have to be so disrupted. I do not currently offer services in my home at the moment. But I can come to clients home. Everything will be done according to your specifications.
About: I've been a dog person my whole life. I grew up with three Golden Retrievers and helped raise each of them from puppyhood, including training and all the patience that early-stage care takes. Beyond my family's dogs, I've dog sat for multiple family friends and neighbors over the years, so I'm comfortable with different breeds, personalities, and routines. For me, taking care of dogs isn't just a job. It's something I genuinely love doing. Your pup will get the same attention, patience, and affection I've given dogs my whole life. I'm available Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. During stays, I check in on dogs frequently, about every two hours, so your pup gets consistent attention and bathroom breaks throughout the day. I'm also happy to stay overnight if that works best for your dog's routine. I stick to your dog's normal routine as much as possible, feeding, walks, and any specific instructions you give me. I check in every couple hours to make sure they're fed, exercised, and not alone for too long. My goal is keeping things familiar so your dog feels comfortable the whole time.
About: Having been in the pet care industry for almost a decade, I've never met a pet I didn't love! I'm comfortable working dogs large and small, cats aloof and cranky, and friends furry, scaley, or feathery! I can't wait to meet yours! Caring for animals is my full-time job, so your pet will be my top priority! Most weekends I work part time at a doggy daycare, and weekdays I spend my time out and about walking pups around town! With enough notice I can accommodate most any schedule or care that your baby is used to! I live in an apartment complex that sits next to a gorgeous natural area, and provides a large fenced in grassy area for dogs to run off leash! My 2 kitties are very respectful of other creatures, and everyone is welcome on all the furniture! Whatever your pet is used to, I'll make sure it feels like home!

My schedule is flexible, and I hope to start working full-time on Rover for more open schedule times. I have an apartment that comes with a dog park I can take your dog to for exercise and socializing. Will take your animal on walks throughout the day so they can go to the bathroom. Will make sure they're fed properly and as instructed by the owner. Can give them baths and basic grooming. They're allowed to sleep on my couch and bed but I can put up a gate or crate for them if wanted by the owner. If a cat I can put a litter pox in the bathroom for them.

“Kamryn was outstanding and provided excellent care for Will, our cat. To best illustrate how amazing Kamryn was with Will, I will explain a couple things about Will. First, Will is very shy but also needy. Therefore, though it doesn't always appear so to an outside observer, he truly thrives on human interaction despite his shyness. He can actually get physically ill during our absences due to the change in - or sometimes lack of - human contact and socialization. Secondly, he is getting older, becoming somewhat of a senior kitty, and as such needs just a little extra care and attention from that perspective. Thus, one of the things we value most in a pet sitter is communication, and Kamryn truly excelled in this area. Given the two "Will traits" listed above, we particularly value communication, so (a) we can receive the per-visit updates (Rover cards) to get a concrete sense of his (hopeful) human interaction since he needs it so much, and (b) we can feel at ease that he is doing okay health-wise in our absence given that he is becoming a senior kitty. Kamryn provided amazing updates during each of her visits, so her communication was truly second to none and gave us peace of mind that he was getting both socialization and top-notch care. She always did the Rover cards, and was super quick in the back-and-forth messaging within Rover. Kamryn was not just communicative but extremely reliable - she always came on time for the full duration, and always processed the Rover cards. The second area where Kamryn was extraordinary was the socialization with Will - not simply from a communication aspect, but from the actual real and impactful interactions she had with Will. We have had a number of pet sitters through the years for Will, and frankly Kamryn did the best job ever at getting to know Will and getting him past his shyness. Usually, Will hides from people he doesn't know, and they don't ever get to know how much of a sweetheart he really is. With Kamryn, Will's tail was straight up in greeting when she would arrive, he led her around the house, and he let her pet him and scratch him all over - all unprecedented. In short, Will absolutely adored Kamryn. That has never happened with a "stranger" in all of his twelve years. In just a few short days, Will decided Kamryn was definitely not a stranger and it's clear that he wants to see her again! To have that type of skill with animals is truly talented and magical, and Kamryn has it in spades. We cannot recommend her enough!”

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.
