“Mary-Kate was a life saver. She came over on very short notice to drop in on our dog when I got stuck at work. She is reliable and has great communication. We will definitely request her next time!”
“Kelly was great! It was always nice to see the notes/pictures each visit and she made sure she kept me updated on an impromptu issue with happy tail! Not a foreseen issue my Hope had until a few days before, but Kelly made sure to check on her tail often and wrap it when needed.”
“Jillian was a true wonder!! I felt completely at ease with her care for my two cats. She showered a ton caring and affection on them, and really seemed to get their complicated feline dynamics! My kitty Jojo needs asthma treatment and Jill was at ease with administering (: She navigated his moods - and dealt with catio stressors - like a pro, and with good humor, and kept in close communication with me through it all! Highly recommend- if you want someone who both enjoys and "gets" your pets!”
“Melanie is so wonderful! She graciously took a last minute booking and also was super easy going about my address mixup which I GREATLY appreciate her for. I would absolutely book with her again.”
About: I’m reliable, trustworthy and efficient. I may even water your plants or pick up your mail if it’s needed. I have a great work ethic I currently work for myself doing freelance work so my schedule is rotating and flexible. Most availability is during the week days. I love early mornings and I love to be outside and walk. I am currently available for stopping only as I have my own kitty at home to take care of, but message me for short term overnights maybe I can work something out.
About: I’ve had animals since I was a young girl. As a child we had cats. As a young adult I worked for a grooming, daycare, and boarding facility for 16 years. The only reason I stopped working was because of the birth of might twins.I also volunteered for a pet rescue, a pet shelter, and of course owned my own dogs, cats, and hamster. I’m a mom of 7! Some grown , some in college, and my youngest 2 are 9 year old twins. I have plenty of time during the days to walk, spend time, cuddle, and love on your furry family members. My specialty is mid day breaks/walks or check ins while you’re away or have a long day at work. I am aware of the tremendous responsibility it is caring for your pet. I have my own pups and kitties and will give the same love, care, and respect my babies receive.
About: I’ve had dogs and cats all my life and just the past few years started pet sitting! The families I sit for always know they can rely on me and loving their animals! I’m currently working part time at a salon but it is flexible and can stop by every 2-4 hours! I also am willing to do over nights depending on location might affect price! Any instructions left for me will always be taken care of, if you prefer walks or just being let out in the yard either works!
“Angela was wonderful with Mikey. He doesn’t like strangers and she manages to get him out from his hiding space. She arrived as promised and kept us informed. High recommendation’s from my husband, myself and Mikey.”
“Stephanie was super friendly and communicative and my dog, who can be a bit skittish around strangers, seemed to open up to her really quick! It’s clear that she absolutely loves animals and I will definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: Hi! 🐾❤️ Animals have always had a special place in my heart! I have over 9 years of experience caring for my own pets and 4 years of experience with Rover and fostering. From playful young ones to senior care who need a little extra patience and love, I’m comfortable caring for pets at every stage of life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care as if they were my own. My goal is to make your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while giving you peace of mind when you’re away. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality, keeping them happy, and making sure they receive all the attention and affection they deserve. I’m responsible, patient, attentive, and happy to accommodate your pet’s individual personality, needs, and routine. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pets, so I’ll always do my best to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to send regular photo updates so you can see how your little one is doing. Whether your pet is energetic and loves adventures or prefers relaxing and cuddling on the couch, I’ll make sure they get the care and attention they deserve. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! 🐶🐱💕 I am currently working full time Monday-Friday with fridays work from home and my hours are adjustable between 730-330 and will be available after 3 on week days and free all day Saturday and Sunday. I am also willing to accommodate if needed. I will do what I need to do to ensure yourself and your pet feel comfortable and do what your pet is used too in there routine and comfortable with.If this is a puppy I will help crate and potty train if needed. I do have experience with all sorts of dogs large or small. And cats as well!
“Cassy, Thank you so much for all your help! We were so glad you were able to come and help with Dexter. It was so amazing we knew that he was taken being care of the whole time.”
About: I've been around animals my entire life, living in a veritable zoo with cats, dogs, reptiles, fish, hamsters, and siblings. While I've helped care for my parent's pets since I was a child, my first fur-baby is Sully, a 75lb German Shepherd/Black Lab rescue that my wife and I adopted in 2016. Since my primary work is at home, I spend more time with Sully than anyone else! I currently work a full-time job in online education, and I am also responsible for care-giving for my son at least two days per week. I plan for pet-care to be a part-time job where I travel to your home to walk and/or spend time with your pet. I am open to dog boarding if your dog ends up being a good fit and is introduced to my son and dog. I have a fenced-in yard for play, and I'm also a short walk from Woods Hollow Nature Preserve in Ballston Spa. I am out with Sully every 3-4 hours for a walk, potty-break, or to play ball.
About: Been around all types of animals growing up, dogs, cats, and even horses. Currently have multiple animals of my own and frequently look after friends and family pets. I currently work remotely, so can adjust time to help take care of your pets but my typical hours are 8-4:30. I can assist before work hours and after or even on breaks throughout the day. I have not always been remote so understand wanting someone to trust to check in on your pets while you are out of the house. I also have small children so understand finding the balance of having pets and children, sometimes needing that extra help to keep everyone happy. I would treat each pet as if they are my own, every pet is different with what makes them happy. So I am happy to follow all reasonable requests.
About: Hey everyone! 👋 I'm a 25 year old pet lover who's been around animals my whole life. From growing up with dogs, cats, and even the odd pets, I've always been the one taking care of our family pets. I genuinely love spending time with animals and making sure they feel happy, safe, and loved while their owners are away. I'm offering pet sitting services (dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, etc.) and would love to help out with yours! I'm reliable, patient, and attentive. I can send updates and photos while you're gone so you have peace of mind. If you're local and need a trustworthy sitter, feel free to message me. I'd be happy to chat and meet your pets beforehand. Thanks so much! 🐶🐱❤️ I do work full time at a bank job! So I do have those bankers hours but I would be 100% available for your animals when not at work! I can easily follow the normal of your animals routine. If they love rides I have a backseat sling and we can go to parks or for pupcups.
About: I’m a beginner on Rover, but I’ve been caring for dogs for about 6 years through friends and family, and it’s something I truly love doing. Over the years, I’ve looked after dogs with all kinds of personalities, high-energy pups, shy dogs, older dogs, and everything in between, so I’m very comfortable adapting to each dog’s unique needs. I also have a 10-year-old dog of my own, which has given me a lot of hands-on experience with daily care, routines, and understanding how dogs communicate. He’s a bit odd and thrives when he’s kept to his routine. He loves people but there are a few dogs in my neighborhood who he has decided he'd rather avoid so I’m familiar with sticking to a routine and dealing with each dog's unique quirks! It is important to me that every pet feels safe and comfortable. While I’ve never owned a cat myself, I’ve taken care of a few and really enjoyed the experience. I’m always happy to learn their routines and make sure they feel just as cared for and relaxed while you’re away. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away by making sure your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. I currently work full time as a Medical Assistant at a Private Family Practice. I’m applying to Physician Assistant School this spring and am working to get experience while I finish my applications. My hours are 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM Monday through Friday. I don’t have time during my work day to stop in to let pets out or feed them and am best suited to do walks, feedings, and keep company in the early morning or evenings. My weekends are typically open and flexible as I am able to stay at the house all day but prefer to drop by several times throughout the day for whatever care is necessary. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities while staying in your home. I make it a point to follow your pet’s routine as closely as possible, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or any specific care instructions, so they feel secure and stress-free in their familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s behavior, boundaries, and personality to ensure they feel safe and respected. I’m very attentive and always keep a close eye on pets, whether we’re relaxing at home or out for a walk. I also make sure doors, gates, and any potential hazards are secure at all times. I respect your home just as much as your pet. I keep things clean, organized, and exactly how you left them. Communication is very important to me, so I’m happy to provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins while you’re away so you always know how your pet is doing. You can trust that your pet will be cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention, and that your home will be in good hands.
About: I offer a genuine connection with animals, ensuring your pet will be loved and understood. I provide not just care, but a dedication that ensures your pet will be happy and safe. I am currently working a flexible part time schedule where I am in charge of my schedule. Therefore I am able to be there at a moments notice when your furry friend needs it the most! Caring for pets of clients I will follow there instructions to a T to ensure both the pet and owner are comfortable and happy with my service that I provide!
“This was my first time using Rover and I could not be happier with the experience! My cats were very well cared for by Megan while we were gone for the week. They are usually skittish for a little while when we come home from being away, but this time they came right out as if we were only gone for a few hours! I will definitely utilize her services again when needed.”
“Danielle did an amazing job! Each day she showed up in time and sent us Ellie’s report and photos. It made us feel so good knowing that our pup was in such capable hands! We could not be more pleased! And grateful! Highly recommend!!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Maltaville
Mary-Kate has been my dog sitter/walker for a few months, and I am very lucky to have found her. She is dependable, great with communication and very patient with my crazy pup, who is always in a happy mood when I come home after she’s been over for a visit. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a high-quality pet-sitter in the area. Thank you, Mary-Kate!!!
Kara is great. She managed to get my very skittish cat to come out from under the bed for proof of life pictures! She’s extremely reliable and consistently sent updates while we were away. Highly recommend having Kara watch your pets. I feel better knowing she’s checking on them.
Jillian was a true wonder!! I felt completely at ease with her care for my two cats. She showered a ton caring and affection on them, and really seemed to get their complicated feline dynamics! My kitty Jojo needs asthma treatment and Jill was at ease with administering (: She navigated his moods - and dealt with catio stressors - like a pro, and with good humor, and kept in close communication with me through it all! Highly recommend- if you want someone who both enjoys and "gets" your pets!

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.
