“Michele has watched our boys multiple times and every time we come back to happy fur babies! Her communication is perfect. I feel like I know exactly what I need to know and nothing I don’t! So not constantly getting notifications, but if she has a question about the boys or just keeping me in the loop of things that I probably should know she does! We are very grateful for her!”
“Maria is AMAZING! She went above and beyond to care for our fur baby while we were out of town even making an extra stop in to check on him since he wasn’t eating well in our absence. We will without a doubt use Maria again. We highly recommend if you want someone to care for your pet who truly shows care and compassion Maria is the one!!”
About: I find taking care of pets a therapeutic experience and try to make it the same for them. I treat them with respect they deserve and truly enjoy just hanging out with them. I currently work part-time and know my schedule ahead of time to know whether I can or cannot care for a pet. I will not accept a pet care request. If I do not believe I can fully invest that required time to do so. That is as much for them as it is for me to make it a truly meaningful experience. I have a fenced in backyard for dogs to roam during their potty breaks or to play with them. I also give them free rein in my house to the degree in which they deserve. I can also spend the night with them at their location or at mine. I want them to feel as comfortable as possible with me to make it a meaningful experience for both of us.

“Carter did an AMAZING job watching Tocko on our mini vacation! He truly went above and beyond making sure we had peace of mind that our boy was well taken care of. He always sent pictures and made sure to include little details when writing us that made my wife the happiest! He should have more 5 star reviews and we will be more than happy to book with him again in the future!”

“Samantha went above and beyond what I was hoping for with her services! She made me feel at ease while I was on vacation. She replies very quickly and was able to meet all of our needs.

About: I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, cats, birds, horses, and other farm animals. I am reliable and strive to provide excellent care to your animal and treat them as if they were my own. I have been in the equestrian world for >10 years and am comfortable cleaning stalls, moving horses, and exercising them if needed. I am currently working full-time in an ofice, but I am available in the mornings anytime before 9 AM and evenings anytime after 5 PM for drop-in visits! At this time, I cannot offer overnight stays. At this time, I am not able to care for client's pets as I have cats of my own that do not do well with other animals. In your home, I am happy to care for your animals however you'd like (e.g., out during the day/in at night).
“McKinsey is amazing with animals - you can tell she loves them. She treats my puppy and kitty as if they are her own. I trust her and am so grateful for her help. Thank you for all that you do! She exceeds all expectations. Highly recommend. Thanks girl!”

“Caitlyn is an excellent sitter! It’s comforting to know my cat received exceptional company and care while I was away. Once again, I would highly recommend her services to others! Thank you again!”
“I was very nervous leaving my boys overnight without anyone staying overnight. However Emilee did an amazing job. She came and did multiple visits on my boys while I was gone, always on time, communicated great and always sent me pictures. I didn’t worry at all while I was away thanks to Emilee. I will definitely be reaching out again to schedule with her. She was perfect and my boys were happy and healthy when I came home!”
About: My family has had big dogs since before I was born. Ive bathed them, walked them, fed them, and loved on them. I also understand dog body language. I will be back for winter break on December 15, and I will not have anything to do for that month, so I can shape my schedule around taking care of your animals. I am good at loving on dogs and I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters walking dogs. I am a good candidate for this job.

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.
