“Yaritza has a way with our cat. She normally hides when strangers are in the house but Yaritza got pics of our Joey on every visit. Definitely recommended and will use her services again if/when we need it”
“Adriana was very sweet with my three cats! She sent regular photos and always responded quickly whenever I contacted her. I have one cat that is very timid and hides a lot but I received photos of her getting pets and lots of love! I would absolutely book her again in the future.”
“Nicole is wonderful! So sweet with our dog and our cat. She’s super thorough and everything she does and take such great care of our animals while we are at work. We have a high energy lab and she always makes her feel very happy on the days we can’t be home with her. We love her!”
“Madison always goes above and beyond for our cat. She is always so flexible and accommodates every request we have for her. She has become our go to pet sitter. We hardly consider anyone else because we trust her to provide the best care. Thank you, Madison!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my two cats, Paedyn and Ella, who have taught me that every pet has their own unique personality and needs! Paedyn is my energetic, talkative 2-year-old, while Ella is my 1-year-old calico and a total cuddle bug. I make sure my cats are fed morning and night, have fresh water, receive their daily vitamins, and get plenty of playtime, attention, and love. I also grew up around dogs, including a Shih Tzu and a Yorkiepoo, and my dad currently has a Pit Bull who is the sweetest girl. I also had a roommate who had a Shiba Inu that I would help care for from time to time, who was such an energetic love bug. Growing up with dogs and now caring for my own cats has given me experience with different personalities, sizes, and care needs. I understand how important routines, safety, patience, and lots of love are when caring for someone’s pet! 🐾💕 I have a flexible schedule with my work at OneBlood, which allows me to fit pet visits and dog walks into my day. I’m happy to work around my schedule to make sure your pets get the care, attention, and exercise they need. I’ll always communicate my availability clearly and make sure I can commit to the visits I book. I’m very attentive to my pets and make sure they have everything they need to stay happy and healthy. I give my cats their daily vitamins, including respiratory vitamins for my older cat, Paedyn. I make sure they’re fed every morning and night, always have fresh water in their fountain, and are kept safely indoors rather than free-roaming outside. I would care for a client’s pets and home with the same level of attention and responsibility. I understand that every pet has their own routine and needs, and I’m happy to follow their feeding schedule, medications or vitamins, playtime, and any other instructions. I’ll also treat each client’s home with respect and make sure everything is left clean, safe, and secure.
“Annaliese has been amazing. She spends time with Miles, plays with him, and takes him on walks. She even sends pictures as well as updates on how their play date went. She is very quick to respond and is easy to communicate with.”
“Ava is an absolute gem! She handled both of my dogs with so much patience and love, including my hyper dog who can be a handful. She matched her energy while still keeping things calm and safe for my other dog too. Ava communicated very easily throughout the time she cared for my dogs and followed every single care instruction I left to the letter. It's clear she genuinely cares about the pet and their safety. My dogs responded well to her and I'm looking forward to booking her again. Five stars all the way. Book her, you won't regret it!"”
“Sarah has become a regular in our lives! She is so great with my pup and takes such good care of her. I feel such a relief knowing Sarah spends time with our girl and I don’t have to worry about her while I’m gone. And Sarah always goes above and beyond if her schedule permits — to the point that I had her just hang out with our puppy for two hours for no other reason than to keep an eye on her because our pup had to wear a onesie. 😂”
“Allison was fabulous with my Rico. I was worried because of his fear of fireworks but she followed instructions and kept me informed of his behavior on her visits. She was personable and easy going and in turn I was able to enjoy my mini vacation. I will definitely book with her again.”
“Cat did a fantastic job caring for my cats while I was away. She followed all of my instructions perfectly and even made sure Bucky received his eye drops each day. I also appreciated how she went above and beyond by sweeping the litter off the floor and keeping the area clean. The daily updates and sweet photos she sent reassured me that my cats were happy and comfortable. When I came home, they were all content and clearly well cared for. I’m so grateful for the excellent care she provided and would absolutely recommend her!”
About: I have been boarding dogs with rover for 3 years now and have had experience with all kinds of dogs. I have had dogs my entire life as big as a St Bernard and as small as a pomeranian so I am familiar with many breeds and temperaments, from puppies to senior dogs. I recently lost my dog to cancer so no dogs currently live here. I work from home as a photographer so I am home most of the day to give attention to your dog. I would never leave the dog alone for more than a few hours. I typically have a few dogs at a time most of whom are regulars at my house that keep to pretty regular routine. I have a fenced in yard and an older dog that will keep your dog company throughout their stay. Your dog would have access to most of the house throughout the day. Can keep up with any training you are working on including crate training if you want but I do not require a crate in my house. Parks and walking paths are nearby for exercise. I will send updates throughout their stay so you know they are being cared for properly. I prefer doing a meet and greet if possible so we can make sure it's a good fit and you feel comfortable leaving your family members with me.
“Elizabeth was so great with my cat!! She was very communicative and took wonderful care of my cat. This was my second time booking Elizabeth and I would definitely do it again”
About: I have experience caring for my neighbors’ dogs, helping with feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and needs. Whether your pup is energetic and loves playtime or prefers calm companionship, I provide patient, reliable, and personalized care. I’ll treat your dog like my own, keep you updated with photos and messages, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I have a flexible routine that allows me to provide loving and attentive care for pets. I work part-time and occasionally travel, but when I’m home, I spend most of my time taking care of my home and my two cats. Since I’m often home, I’m able to provide pets with companionship, attention, playtime, and a comfortable environment. I would love the opportunity to help other pet owners by caring for their animals when they need someone they can trust. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe and happy while you’re away. I will provide reliable care, regular updates, and treat every pet with the same love and patience I give my own. In my home: I have a spacious home with multiple empty rooms and a fenced yard, providing a safe and comfortable environment for pets. I understand that every animal has different needs, so I can create a calm, separate space if needed. I have two cats of my own, and if they do not get along with a visiting cat, I can safely keep the guest cat comfortable on the second floor with a room, a window, and everything they need, while still providing plenty of love and attention. In your home: I will care for your pets while respecting your home and your routines. I will follow your instructions carefully and will not touch or use anything that I am not allowed to. My priority is to keep your pet comfortable, maintain their normal routine, and leave your home clean and respected.

Nicole is wonderful! So sweet with our dog and our cat. She’s super thorough and everything she does and take such great care of our animals while we are at work. We have a high energy lab and she always makes her feel very happy on the days we can’t be home with her. We love her!
Jordan was amazing! We booked her on very short notice the same day we left for the weekend, and she was incredibly accommodating and responsive. She took wonderful care of our dog, Bella, and sent a detailed care card with updates and pictures after every visit, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. During one of her visits it was raining and Bella doesn’t like the rain, so couldn’t get her evening walk. Rather than just leaving it at that, Jordan came back later to try again so Bella could get her walk. That extra effort really meant a lot to us. Even though we only booked care for Bella, Jordan also took the time to play with our cat during her visits, which was such a thoughtful bonus and truly appreciated. Jordan was reliable, communicative, and genuinely caring. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, especially on such short notice. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter!
Rachel has been a true blessing whenever we need a sitter for our German Shepherds. She is comfortable with this breed and larger dogs, which puts us - as well as our dogs - at ease in our absence! Rachel is our first contact when we need a sitter, as she’s extremely professional, very responsive, and leaves wonderful notes/photos!
Juliana provided wonderful care to my three fur babies while I traveled out of town. Within minutes, all pets felt comfortable enough to seek attention and stand next to her. I received pictures and communication throughout the entire booking. I highly recommend!

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.

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.
