About: Hi! I'm Rachel, a lifelong animal lover who believes every pet deserves patience, kindness, and personalized care. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat prefers quiet companionship, or your pet just needs someone dependable while you're away, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I understand that every animal has a unique personality and routine, and I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. My passion for animals extends beyond pet sitting. I'm the founder of a nonprofit dedicated to helping animal shelters save more lives through technology, partnerships, and adoption support. Caring for animals isn't just something I do—it's something I genuinely care about every day. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication, so you'll always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to give you peace of mind while giving your pet a fun, safe, and loving experience. Experience giving medication, comfortable with senior pets and puppies, experience with anxious or shy animals. I can't wait to meet you and your furry family! I'm currently working remotely part time, so my schedule is flexible! I'm happy to work with you on scheduling and I will give 2 weeks' notice when I plan to go out of town. When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine as normal and stress-free as possible. I'll take the time to learn your pet's schedule, feeding routine, favorite activities, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable while you're away. I'll make sure your pet gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection based on their individual personality and needs. Whether that's a long walk, a game of fetch, quiet cuddle time, or simply keeping them company, I'll provide the care that's best for them. I know how important communication is, so I'll send regular updates and photos to let you know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything unusual, I'll contact you right away. I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would my own, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. My goal is for you to come home to a happy pet and complete peace of mind.
“Melissa is fantastic, we really appreciated her loving on our pug for a few days while we were gone! She leaves descriptive details of how the visits went and even takes lots of pictures to share! We will absolutely have Melissa watch our pups anytime she is available!”
About: I have always had a dog in my family and have grown up with a genuine love for animals. I’ve been trusted by family members and friends to care for their pets both short and long term, including feeding, walks, playtime, and giving them plenty of love and attention. I truly believe every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, and I would love the opportunity to treat your pets like they’re my own! I’m currently between jobs, so my schedule is very flexible! I’m available most days and times and can easily accommodate different pet care needs, whether you need a quick visit, regular walks, or longer stays. When caring for pets in their own home, I want them to feel as comfortable and relaxed as possible while their owners are away. I’ll stick to their normal routines, provide plenty of attention and playtime, and make sure they have fresh food and water. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions or routines your pet has and will treat your home and your pets with the same care and respect I would want for my own.
“Chelsea did an amazing job helping out with my cats while I was recovering from surgery. She even went above and beyond and took the trash out for me. I will definitely use Chelsea again!”

About: Our pets are family. I’ll treat yours with all the love & attention they deserve to give you peace of mind. I’ve been around dogs since I was 3 years old, starting with my Cocker Terrier mix, who was my best friend for 20 years. Since then, I’ve cared for & trained a variety of breeds, from tiny Yorkies to huge German Shepherds & all the shapes & sizes in between. I’ve developed an uncanny ability to form quick bonds so dogs feel at ease quickly with me in their pack. I’m patient, & super comfortable getting even the most timid dogs to warm up in no time. I provide flexibility during stays when you need special accommodations for uncertain travel days. I’m very communicative with my clients, so I’ll gladly answer questions & provide regular updates or pictures throughout my time with your pet. I also have ample experience caring for cats if your feline needs a friend. Presently, I’m dog dad to the sweetest 4 y/o Australian Shepherd who loves making new friends & hosting guests. We’d love to count yours among them! I’m happy to schedule a meet & greet to get to know you & your furry friend better, & ensure my pup, Sersi & I are the ideal fit for your needs. We’ll look forward to meeting you & your buddy soon! As a dog dad, pet care is central to my routine. I work from home, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks to play & engage with them, ensuring they feel loved & stimulated. I understand how stressful it can be when life takes us away from our furry friends, but you can rest easy knowing your pet will be well cared for in my home where your pup will have my friendly Aussie as a playmate. I maintain a clean, safe environment, ensuring your dog settles in quickly to feel right at home with all the comforts they’re used to. I have a safe neighborhood house with a fully fenced backyard for all the sniffing & zoomies time they could ask for. During drop-in visits or walks at your home, I follow routines closely, maintaining your pet’s schedule & environment while giving them all the attention they need to burn energy & feel happy. I make special care to keep them safe on walks through local neighborhoods & parks.
“Sydney is so sweet and does such a great job of playing with the cats. I was fully confident that both of my cats were receiving plenty of love and attention while I was away. I will absolutely book with Sydney again!”
“Jordyn is a MUST HAVE. She was extremely responsive and able to accept my booking request last minute on a holiday! I am so picky when it comes to people visiting my home and fur baby and she checked all the boxes! A+ Jordyn.”
“Erin was awesome with our three cats! We got daily updates and pictures, and Erin even turned the faucet on for our cat that prefers to drink from there! We are very pleased with the love and attention Erin was able to provide them while we were away!”
“Jessica is fabulous with our new Golden Retriever puppy! She came for 2 visits for her in a day, and our pup was very happy when we got home to her. Jessica sent very thorough updates with plenty of pictures with each visit, and even worked with her on some of the commands we have been teaching her. Jessica is timely, professional, friendly and very good with communication. We felt super comfortable leaving our 9 week old fur baby for the first time in her caring hands. We will definitely be using her again :)”

Myranda did an excellent job of caring for our 11 year old boarder collie Sky. We didn’t have to worry about him and knew he was in safe loving hands during our trip. We highly recommend Myranda for your pet care needs and are grateful to have found her and will definitely hire her again in the future!!! Thank you Myranda 🙏🏻 💕 Tena, Kevin. & Sky
Ally is great! While I’m at work, my mind is at ease, knowing that she is loving on and taking great care of my baby. Reading the little note and looking at the photos is something I look forward to during the day. My girl always looks so happy in the photos when she is with her
My cats can be a little high maintenance, but Madeline did a good job caring for them. She reached out proactively with questions and concerns that popped up during her visits. I would have appreciated more substantial written summaries after each drop-in visit, but I’m also just anxious when I’m away from my kitties.
Cara was tasked with checking on my extremely shy kitten while I was away for a few days. She sent me updates and pictures on the days she visited. It was nice to see that Cara's patience and kindness helped my shy kitty come out of her hiding spot to visit and see who was making sure her food bowl was full. Will definitely ask Cara to check on my kitty again when I go out of town.
Kat goes above and beyond for our dogs while my partner and I are working long hours! She gives them treats, brings extra toys for them to play with, and generally just gives them a ton of love while she’s visiting. In the pictures she takes, you can see how happy our dogs are when they are being cared for by her. Her schedule is really flexible and she has saved us a couple of times when we’ve had to ask for her help fairly last minute. I’m so glad we found her for our senior pups!

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.

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.
