“Cassandra was excellent! She was very quick to reply, attentive, and loving towards my pets. She offered to do extra if necessary and was great sending updates. I would certainly book with her again!”
“Lauren has been the biggest help to me this week!! I had to double my hours at work and she was SO GREAT with my two big GSDs!! They totally adore her and she loves them and I never worried a minute while I was gone. 3 thumbs up and 11 /10 stars!!!”
“Lauren did a fantastic job with my Chester! I looked forward to her updates everyday, as she left little notes about the kitty's demeanor. From the looks of, Lauren formed a nice bond with my Chester. I was completely at ease knowing that my cat was in the best of hands under her attentive care. Thank you again!”
“Emily was more than accommodating & very great to work with! She went the extra mile and spent time with my animals to ensure they got attention. I look forward to working with her again in the future!”
“I was so worried about leaving my sweet girl alone, but she hates being boarded at the vet, so I took a chance. Bethany did a great job, even after a very challenging first night. When we got home, Mollie was as happy as could be. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Bethany again.”
“Awesome pet sitter! This is the second time I have had Ashley watch my cats and she took excellent care of them! I am so thankful to have a reliable pet sitter to watch over my babies❤️”
About: Just a quick note my wife is pregnant and likes to come with me on walks and drop ins, let me know if that’s an issue :) I’ve owned dogs my whole life and have a lot of hands-on experience caring for them. Over the years, I’ve taken care of dogs for friends, family, and people I didn’t personally know through pet sitting. I’m comfortable with everyday care like feeding, walks, playtime, bathing, nail trimming, and giving medication when needed. I also have experience with mild dog training and working on basic manners and routines. I understand that every dog is different. Some need lots of exercise and attention, while others are happier relaxing and sticking to their normal routine. I do my best to follow each owner’s instructions and make sure their dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while they’re away. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and treating them like part of the family. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to plan my schedule around the needs of the pets I’m caring for. I make sure I have enough time for feeding, walks, playtime, medication if needed, and plenty of attention. I understand how important it is for pets to stay on their normal routine, so I do my best to follow the schedule and instructions each owner provides. I’m also flexible when it comes to drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I always make sure I have the time needed to give each pet proper care rather than rushing through a visit. Safety and trust are very important to me when caring for someone else’s pet. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, and any specific rules for the home. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and other areas are secure, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks, playtime, and visits. I also take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and comfort level so I can help them feel safe and relaxed while their owner is away. I treat every home with respect and every pet like I would want someone to treat my own. I also believe communication is important, so I’m happy to provide updates and let owners know how their pet is doing while they’re in my care.
About: I have loads of experience! From fostering dogs to being a licensed vet tech of 10 years!!! I decided I wanted a different direction and starting my own business and pet sit on the side. I'm loving every second of it! I work from home so taking care of your baby will fit right into my schedule. I can do whatever is needed and more! Just ask! I prefer to care for animals in their homes where they are comfortable, but if they are good with other dogs/peope/ and cats they can come to mine. I have 6bdogs ranging from puppy to senior and 5 cats. They all get along well with other dogs and cats but if one was to join our pack they would have to do the same.
“Julie was AMAZING with my dog!! I booked her for drop in visits with my 2 year old lab mix and she was incredible with him. She was super communicative throughout the entire process from the meet and greet through the actual visits. And she took lots of adorable pictures of my pup!! Julie was attentive with the details I left about him and made sure to give him lots of love throughout her visits. I’d recommend her to literally anyone who is looking for a sitter!!”
About: I’ve always LOVED animals of any kind. (Used to want to be a vet but realized it was too hard to see animals in distress). We’ve had dogs and cats in our home since I was a little girl. I’ve had over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs, cats, and other small pets for friends, family, and neighbors! I have a sweet spot for animals and would do my upmost best to ensure your baby is taken care of to the best of my abilities. I will treat your pet with the same care I would my own. My personality is this: patient, calm, gentle, and detail oriented. I also believe heavily in communication and will always appreciate a pet owner who also likes communication. Communication is very important to me because I want to make sure I can do my job to the best of my abilities. I currently have my own 1 year old terrier and have done everything from potty training, crate training and obedience training. I want all of my customers to rest assured their baby will get the attention and care they deserve. My schedule is very flexible so I can have the time to take care of your pets! I work throughout the week including weekends and can take your pet out as frequently as they need. Just reach out and let me know what you’re looking for. I have a fenced in yard outside, suited for small to medium dogs. I also live in a neighborhood that is suitable for walking your pet if you would like. I also make sure that my home is free of any dangers or anything toxic to any pets. I raised both puppies and kittens and know how to properly ensure animals are taken care of appropriately.
“Taylor was a delight to talk to, and showed a real love of animals. She gets my Bobby- he is the shy guy that loves to eat, but not one to hang out. She took helpful pictures and made my time away, peaceful.”
“My kitties are pretty low key but they love seeing Veronica when we go out of town for an extended weekend, even if they just chill on the couch together! I am so greatful for the extra peace of mind knowing they will have some extra love and pets while we are away.”
About: I have had pets all my life. Mainly dogs. I have trained some of my personal pets in the past. I also love seeing animals personalities, and learning to work with them from there. I work 8a-4p Tuesday - Friday, and some Mondays (same hours). I never work weekends or evenings. I have an hour for lunch on the days I work, so I am able to run by for a potty break if needed. I have a big fenced in backyard just waiting for your dog to come roam! I do not currently have any pets, so I do not have a cage, water bowl, leash, etc. I live in a quiet neighborhood perfect for walks.
About: In addition to having dogs of various breeds for the majority of my life, I have been dogsitting for the last two years. I am also experienced with dogs of all ages and breeds as a result of working in dog daycare facilities and in grooming salons across the last three years. I also volunteer with the animal shelter in the area, so I know how important it is to meet dogs where they're at. I currently spend about one day a week volunteering with the local animal shelter, so my schedule is pretty flexible and I look forward to spending my time with your pets! I currently have two cats of my own, so I am unfortunately unable to bring any more pets into my own home. However, I am happy to enforce your pet's existing routine within the comfort of their home.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs throughout all stages of their life. This also includes all dog sizes. Whatever you may need, I’ll be there to help! I work full time Monday-Friday, so I’ll be ready to help every morning and evening! I’m also free most weekends so I’ll be ready to help you get that weekend getaway! I treat every pet I care for like they’re my own. I always follow every instruction to the letter, and I will never leave anything to chance or assumption.
“Brandi was amazing!!! She was very professional and she did a great job communicating. Brandi was extremely kind and flexible with my schedule. I really appreciated how caring she was with Scout. I would highly recommend her to anyone and would be delighted to have her be Scouts sitter again!”

Lauren was very responsive and punctual! She did a wonderful job taking care of my pup Tucker while I was gone for two days and made sure to go beyond just walking/feeding him but also spent time playing with him and bonding. I loved receiving updates while I was gone.

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 .

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.
