“We've used Jeffrey several times now as our dog sitter and couldn't be happier. I appreciate that Jeffrey likes to have as much information as possible about our dogs in order to take the absolute best care of them that he can. Give Jeffrey a try if you're needing a sitter, you won't be sorry!”
About: I have taken care of animals since I was 12, I am now 20 and my love for animals has only grown since! I have taken care of my family’s, friends’, & neighbors’ animals for years as well! I would like to start dog walking & doing drop-in visits because I want to fill my schedule with things I love and caring for animals fits that perfectly! I have two indoor cats that I take care of currently and own and have cared for many dogs in my lifetime such as my family’s, friends’, & neighbors’ dogs!
“Wonderful sitter! I received great updates and photos, and Bloom was happy and well cared for. I really appreciated the attention and communication throughout the visits. Would definitely book again!”
“Working with Megan was great! She was very thorough in communication and provided updates on all of our animals everyday. We came home to happy animals with no stress!”
“Kristen did wonderful with our cats! She gave us thorough updates and did her best (and succeeded) to become friends with our cats. She got great pictures of our cats giving us confidence that they would be taken care. Would highly recommend her for your pet needs!”
“Krysten was great. My family and I have a brat of a dog he likes what he likes and that is it. the second Krysten was at the door he was in love. I will definitely ask Krysten to watch our boy again.”
“Holly was excellent taking care of both our dogs 2x daily while we were away. She was punctual, friendly and always communicated well. Our pups were very happy with her! We will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I've taken care of of family pets since at least 8 years old, I've trained puppies. Ive always loved animals and I've had Dogs, Cats, and Reptiles. I've never missed a feeding time for any of our pets. I make sure to feed our dogs in the morning and the night, or whatever schedule has been asked. But I have plenty of free time for playing with my animals. Well I love to walk so dogs always get enough exercise, and I make sure to groom my dogs monthly, and I make sure to feed all of my pets well enough.
“We were lucky to find a caretaker like Terry for our senior while we were away. She clearly has a love for animals and our cats got along with her. She gave oral med to one of our cats daily. Her daily pictures were great to see as we knew they were being well taken care of. She even offered to help out if we got delayed coming home or if we needed any additional visits which gave us an added peace of mind while we were away. Terry is easy to get along with and is very reliable.”
About: I have been pet sitting since 2009, have taken care of animals from horses to hermit crabs, Great Danes to Chihuahuas. I grew up on a farm, was in 4-H and FFA throughout grade school and showed my animals at all the local fairs around Washington. I have given medications, special diets and stretch routines for the animals I care for. Animals are my passion and I enjoy my job very much and treat your pets just like my own. I travel for work currently but on my available days I will be with your pet full time. Always happy to work with you and your schedule and give your pet what he/she needs. Hope to hear from you soon! On my available days your pet will have my full and undivided attention. Otherwise I am traveling for work. Always happy to work with a clients schedule when possible. I always make sure the pet is taken care of and treated like my own. Make sure to ask client if there are any special needs as each animal is unique.
About: I am an extremely reliable pet sitter! Apart from growing up with and caring for dogs my entire life, I have years of experience in house and dog sitting, walking, and caring for dogs with special needs and attention. I also have experience caring for cats, fish, and plants! I work part-time and am fully available to care for your pets Friday through Sunday. I am available for drop-ins Monday to Thursday after 6 pm. I love to play with your pets, inside or outside your house, and I'm very precise in meeting any needs you have for your babies!

Please let me know what you need, and I can make it happen!
“Sarah is fantastic! My cat has special needs (although you’d never know) so I’m super particular about who watches my boy. That said, I would request her to watch my kitty again, hands down! She followed directions, was super communicative, and allowed us to fully enjoy our vacation without worrying about our cat the whole time. We got back and Leo was screaming his head off because he missed us, but we know Sarah spent the time to sit with him and give him love and we all couldn’t appreciate that more. (Thank you, Sarah!)”
“April was very accessible and responsive the whole time, never left me hanging or wondering. Kept them clean and fed and happy!! kudos for keeping Mr. Miyagi from escaping! 🐈. will definitely use her again!”
About: I have taken of dogs since I was a kid. From big dogs, small dogs and everything in between. We currently don’t have dogs if our own and lost our last little man in 2025. We had 2 small Morkies. We recently moved from a lg property in TX where we took care of lots of fur friends often at once. While we have a smaller yard we miss our pups as well as the fun we had caring for other people’s furry kids. While I work full time my husband is now retired and we are ready to share our home with new friends. We do have to limit who we can care for to small dogs or non shedding bigger Doodles, so if your furry kid is less than 15lbs or is a larger non shedding breed or Doodle we’d love to meet them and be a safe place to leave your furry family members. My husband is retired so he typically spends his days gardening, fishing or working on projects around the house. Since we have both had pets our whole lives we are very comfortable caring for dogs and their needs. We have a small backyard and big indoor space downstairs for pups to lounge and chill. We also have a 15 year old who loves to cuddle with fur friends. We have a great neighborhood for walking dogs and enjoying taking walks as well so adding a dog or 2 is easy.
About: I've house sat and walked multiple sized dogs. I've also been around quite a few dogs in my lifetime. My parents had a puppy and I ended up having to take care of her for a while and I went to obedience training with her so I have some training skills. I currently am working part-time so I'll be more open to drop-ins and walks. I work retail though so my schedule isn't set but I am willing to try and work with you. I will give them lots of love and attention, activity, and I will make sure your pets are treated like my own; loved, safe, and fed.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Machias
Bhargavi did an excellent job caring for our three cats. She is the first cat sitter that was able to get our cats to come out of hiding for attention. She sent us regular updates with pictures; we weren’t so worried about our fur babies. We will use Bhargavi in the future and would highly recommend her.
I am so glad that I chose Jeffrey to watch my cat, Kami Jo, while I was on vacation. He was responsive, followed directions, and kept me updated with plenty of photos. I could tell that she was happy and enjoyed his company. I would highly recommend him and use him again. My cat is quite messy so it was a relief to come home and see everything tidy and organized. Thanks again.

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.
