“Micah is awesome! Super keen, caring and responsive. She even kindly stayed an extra day last minute when we got sick and couldn’t come home on time. 10/10 would recommend her for your pet’s care.”
About: I have six years of hands on experience with dogs, including volunteering at the Baltimore SPCA, where I handled intake, socialization, and daily care for dogs of all temperatures. I have also trained the dogs that I have had. I work full-time, but my schedule rotates every three weeks — so I always have afternoons free after four, plus two full days off each week. That means I’m available for midday walks, evening visits, and weekend coverage without any gaps. My dogs get a set daily rhythm in the morning and evening walks, scheduled meals, and plenty of rest so I know firsthand what a consistent routine looks like from the inside. Also I follow the owner’s routine exactly feeding times, meds, play, potty breaks and send photo updates after each visit so they always know how their pet’s doing.
“Bronte meets expectations and follows directions when it comes to caring for the cats. I enjoy getting the photos while I’m out of town, it puts me as ease that the cats are being cared for.”
“Kaitlin dropped in on our cat daily while we were away. She communicated frequently to let us know when she would be coming and sent photos. She even went back to see our cat a second time on the first day because she didn’t realize there was a check in feature. We will definitely be using Kaitlin next time!”
“Esther was great, and helped us out at the last minute before we flew out for a family funeral. Her responses were quick and thorough, and she was very kind and easy to communicate with. We loved getting the pictures and videos of her playing with our cats. I also appreciate her tidying up the litter area so we didn’t have that to come home to.”
About: We’ve always had dogs and cats growing up, so pet have always been a regular part of my everyday life! I know that sometimes this little things like walks or consistent feeding schedules can be the hardest part of having a pet! Allow me to take that weight from your shoulders! I have extensive experience with large dogs and puppies as well! I regularly housesit for homes with multiple animals and multiple species; dogs, cats, fish, bunnies, gerbils, and hamsters too! I’m currently working part time, but planning and scheduling are important to me. I am more often available in the mornings any day of the week. I value being consistent and reliable so I will only post availability that I’m sure will work! I will make sure to bring your pet everywhere with me! Clingy pets are my bread and butter! I have no problem hanging out as long as needed to always have an eye on your pets when they are in my care.
About: I am a medical student looking to help care for pets in my community! I grew up with dogs, cats, rabbits, lizards and frogs... oh my! I adopted two cats in the last year and have loved every minute of being their cat-mom. I have always been an animal person and pride myself on working hard, being timely and treating all creatures with the love they deserve. I am a medical student with a flexible schedule, so I am able to accommodate to your pet's needs! I can often do classes from home which allows me to set my own daily schedule most days of the week- perfect for taking a study break to walk your pup or check in on your furry friends at home! I live in apartment in Arlington but have access to safe, side-walked neighborhoods for walking your dog around! If staying in your home, I will care for your pets exactly as you would like, with genuine care, trust and a love for animals being at the core of who I am and what I do!
“Casie was great once again I have used her a few times for all my travel. Luna loves her and even allows her to pick her up and give her tons of cuddles. I will continue to use her every time I go out of town.”
“Sean was everything you could hope for when traveling without your pet. He was very communicative, prompt and professional and left us feeling that Ellie was in great hands.”
“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
“Antoinette provided drop in visit for our elderly (13 yrs) dog and was really great! She was a great communicator (kept us up to date and shared pics) and we got back to a happy and content dog. We hope we can have her sit for us again in the future!”
About: I’ve taken care of animals nearly my whole life. I got my first dog at 8 years old and cared for him for 17 years. I love animals of all sizes, breeds, and do not discriminate! Friends and coworkers trusted their babies to me for as long as 2 weeks or as short as 2 hours. I’m currently walking with a cane, but that doesn’t stop me from walking your babies or simply keeping them company! Whatever I can do for your animal, let me know. I always look for instructions left by parents and follow whatever daily routines your animal is accustomed to. I love playing with pets and taking them around walks the neighborhood.
“Robyn kept in touch daily, kept our cat happy and well cared for, let us know about a power outage, and got our mail in when our requested hold did not occur. She followed our instructions. We are happy with her care for our home and cat.”
“Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!”
“Joscelyn did an excellent job looking after our 3 cats for the whole week we were away. We reached out to her last minute the day before our trip. Issues came up with the cat sitter we had already hired forcing us to look for a new cat sitter within 24 hours. Joscelyn put us at ease with her immediate response and effective and timely communication. She swung by the night before just a few hours later after reaching out to her for the first time. She understood the tasks at hand, no drama no fuzz. She communicated daily with us, sending us pictures of our 3 cats and letting us know when she came by. We really could not have asked for a better sitter. She went beyond what was expected of her. We came home to find a clean home. She swept the floors around the cat litter area which is something no other prior sitter had done before. She did all the menial extra things we asked for. We are definitely tipping her well. We highly recommend her.”
“Haile responded on very short notice and was great with my cat, Joseph. She sent photos and updates which made me feel very comfortable and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
About: I went to college for Veterinary Technician for 4 years and have a bachelors degree. I worked in an animal hospital for 3 years as a veterinary technician. I have 3 wonderful dogs of my own. I love dogs and I know I will take the absolute best care of your dogs just like they’re my own! They will be loved and spoiled and have an amazing experience with me! I’m your girl! This is my full time job! I have a large fenced back yard where they can go to the bathroom and play. On my days off I like to bring them to the dog park to get some exercise. If your dogs stay with me they will be with me majority of the time and have a fun time at my house! I have 3 sweet pups that will keep your fur baby entertained. I make sure water is always available to the pups and feed them on a regular feeding schedule! I’m also able to administer any oral/injectable medications!
“We are repeat customers and would not hesitate to book again in the future. Stephanie was amazing with our sometimes skiddish and sometimes grumpy Chihuahua. He warmed up to her right away! She is also very flexible and looks for solutions to potential scheduling conflicts as opposed to declining the request as I've had happen with other sitters. 10/10 would recommend!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Lochearn
Amanda took such good care of our pets while we were away that they seemed disappointed that we had returned. I really think they were waiting for her to come back and spoil them. Amanda could not have been more professional, dependable, and attentive. She sent pictures and kept us informed about her visits. We are very picky when it comes to caring for our pets. Amanda exceeded all expectations. She is the best! Thank you Amanda!
Thank you so much for taking such great care of our dog while we were out of town! We really appreciated the updates and the love you showed him. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We would definitely trust you again and highly recommend you!
Iman was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Ammo. She was always on time, extremely attentive, and provided detailed updates after every walk, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very considerate about the weather, always reaching out during extreme heat or rain to make sure Ammo would be safe and comfortable before heading out. She followed every instruction I left perfectly and clearly cared about Ammo's well being as if he were her own. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely be booking with Iman again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!
Erika was wonderful with my two kitties! They were going through a finicky stage so I had to transition them to a raw diet which was a bit detailed. Erika followed everything to the letter! I love that she sent me daily photos. It was very much appreciated! Thank you Erika for giving the love and care ❤️
This was the first day of leaving Coda by himself for a full work day and as pawrents we were very anxious about it, but ee decided to trust in Lisa to come and spend some time with him. During the short meet up we did, Coda loved her, we had never seen him connect with someone so fast. We are glad we got Lisa to come hang with him because it gave us a piece of mind and Coda had a great time with her. She followed all the instructions step by step.

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.
