“Amanda is very attentive, takes detailed notes during her meet and greet, and provides lovely updates on her drop-in visits. Our girls love her and we feel comfortable having her care for our pets.”

“This was my first experience using Rover and Katlyn was perfect for the job. Her updates and phots made me smile and put me at ease knowing my cats were in reliable hands. It was clear from the pictures they enjoyed her visits. I will be reaching out to Katlyn again for sure!”


“Paul was wonderful! We were looking for a pet sitter last minute and he came through. Followed our instructions perfectly and sent updates including photos and videos with every drop-in visit. I could tell from the videos that my cat loved having him around. Thank you, Paul!”

About: I’ve been around dogs/cats my whole life. I recently was the manager at a dog daycare and boarding facility for 5 years in Maryland before moving to Pennsylvania. I still have great relationships with the dogs and the clients, and visit them periodically. . I have training in dog behaviors, how to properly walk, and giving medications and I’m also certified in dog handling and care. I have 2 cats at home that I absolutely adore. You can trust that your fur babies will be taken care of with me! I currently work evenings, 1pm-10pm (though the days vary/off every Sunday). The earlier I know about the booking, the easier I can plan my schedule around that! I also get an hour lunch when at work so I can always stop by for any potty/feeding/walk breaks in the evening when working. I will follow whatever schedule/needs that the client regularly has for their pets. Wether you want your dog walked specific times in a day or if you want your pet spoon fed, I will get the job done to bypass your standards.
“Lisa was great with our puppies for a few drop-in visits while we were out of town for the day. She kept in contact when she was at our house and provided updates with how the puppies were doing along with some pictures. We got back late, so she even checked the next morning to make sure they were okay when we got home which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend Lisa for all of your dog sitting needs! Thank you so much, Lisa!!”

About: I have cared for dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities for friends and family members over the years. I truly enjoy spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. My boyfriend, who will be joining me on walks, grew up with dogs and has plenty of experience caring for them as well. We also love participating in shelter “Skip Days,” where we take dogs out of the shelter for walks and quality time. We look forward to giving your pup the same love, attention, and care we would give our own! Pet care fits perfectly into our routine because we both work during the week and are available on weekends. We’re happy to work with your schedule and make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, attention, and love! Your pet’s safety and comfort are always our top priorities. Before each walk, we’ll make sure we understand your dog’s routine, personality, walking habits, and any special instructions you provide. We’ll keep your dog securely leashed, stay aware of our surroundings, and give them plenty of attention throughout the walk. We’ll also treat your home and belongings with care and leave everything just as we found it. We want you to feel confident knowing your pup is in caring, responsible hands while you’re away!
About: I love dogs! Over the last 15 years I have fostered over 90 dogs and have owned 7 myself. I currently have 3 pups living with my husband and I. I enjoy loving on them and giving them an amazing life. Dogs have always been a vital part of my life and being able to provide a safe loving environment for other people's dogs makes my heart happy. My husband and I both work from home and are home bodies. Someone is home 96% of the time. I can provide frequent potty breaks and accommodate any schedule your pup is on. I have a small fenced yard and 2 fur kids to n keep your dog company. We can go on walks, always on leash. And best of all inclusive offer lots of love and attention to your pup. I will provide pics and videos of your pets.care and time with me.
About: As a child, I grew up with many different pets and I have a lot of experience caring for various types of pets including fish, hamsters, birds, cats and dogs. I've always had more meaningful connections with animals. Your fur babies will receive so much love, and the best care with me. I am very patient, and extremely compassionate with all animals. Every pet I’ve had has received compassion, love, and the best care possible regardless of species,breed, etc. Your babies will be in the best care I currently work Mon-Fri 9am-5pm, so I am available in the evenings those days, and then on weekends I am fully available for doggy clients! :) My 2 dogs at home receive my undivided attention and love. They go on daily enrichment walks, and they get lots of cuddle time and love. I treat my clients’ pets like they are my own.

About: I have been taking care of animals since I was young. I understand that pets are apart of the family and how difficult it is to leave them behind when on vacations. That’s why it’s so important to me to make sure there is someone who treats my animals the same way! Alex (my significant other) and I would love nothing more than making sure your furry friend remains comfortable and safe while you are away. Alex and I both work through the day but live very local (5 minutes from our home) so we can check on them throughout the day if needed. We are also very active so pets that need extra walking or a hike is not a big issue for us in the least! I work full time and so does my partner Alex, however we both get an hour lunch and are willing to both work around schedules to fit where needed! Both of us do live very close to home so if needed we can always stop by the house and check in. My pets are my family so yours would become my family as well! Both cats and dogs need someone that is going to be willing to play with them daily! I have multiple kennels of different sizes if a pet needs one/is comfortable with one. If not I also have a room dedicated to keeping pets comfy while I am gone during the day. It’s always helpful to have a space where pets can decompress when they are in an unknown location.
About: I’ve taken care of multiple types of animals ranging from hamsters, amphibians, flying friends, and of course our furry friends cats and dogs. I have taken care of rescues and strays as well as animals of various ages and sizes. I also live and active lifestyle & can take your furbabies on the best adventures! I take care of my pets on the daily from feeding and walking to scheduling vet visits. I have special free time set aside for new furry friends to meet as well! I have a huge respect for personal space and the care of furry family. I am able to meet and care for animals in any location as well as provide specialty care (i.e. medicine or special treats)
“Both of my cats have their quirks and health needs, but Dani was able to ease my worries about leaving them in her care. She was great with communication at each visit and didn't hesitate to reach out with anything to make sure my boys got what they needed while I was away. I came home to safe, happy cats and I would definitely have her check in on them again in the future!”

About: Hello my name is Thayer and I my whole life is about dogs! I currently own two puppies, Sippy is a mixed breed husky, the baby of the bunch is Cheech and she is a mixed lab. I have an associates in Veterinary Science, I am working on my bachelors in Criminal Justice, before going to to obtain my Masters in Veterinary Forensics. All of these are to help me in my future career as a humane officer. Humane Officers’ primary purpose is to investigate allegations of animal abuse and ensure pets are well cared for and protected. I want to spend my life helping dogs feel safe and well cared for even when their owners are away. I have worked at various dog boarding/daycare facilities in the area, alongside multiple dog/cat rescues, and had the amazing opportunity to work for the ASPCA at their headquarters’ clinic. Through these experiences I have taken care of all types of dogs and cats. Some medical issues I’ve dealt with were seizures, diabetes, blindness, deafness, blind/deaf, heat sensitivity, the elderly pups, couple hour old puppies, and the mamas to the pups. I also have lots of experience with dogs with other behaviors such as, fear aggression, reactivity, dog aggression, people (stranger) aggression, men aggression, handling issues, and much more. No dog is ever too difficult to handle and you should be able to go on that vacation not feeling stressed about your pup. I want to help your pup feel right at home when you’re gone or help them get their energy out on a walk. Can’t wait to meet you and your fur babies!!! I am currently going to school full time and working on the weekends. I am off Sundays and am home everyday no later than 2pm. I am trying to save money for college. Dog Boarding: 1 mile walk daily, daily fetch and/or tug game, daily bedtime kong, stays longer than 4 days get a free bath and nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. House Sitting: 2-3 daily walks, daily fetch and/or tug game, scooping yard after each potty, cleaning your dog bowls inbetween meals, and stays longer than 4 days get a free nail clipping/Dremmel, if dog allows. If asked I also offer training aka reviewing already learned commands, dog enrichment games (such as snuffle matts), and daily brushouts. Doggy Daycare: I like to start each day with a mile walk all together. Then one on one playtime with my pup(s), if wanted. If you want your pup to have doggy playtime, they will have “cool down” times throughout the day. If a repeat client I offer a free bath every 3rd completed daycare day and free nail clipping/dremmel once a month (as needed), if dog allows. Dog Walking: I provide treats and will reward the dog with a treat when not pulling, so we can walk more safely and efficiently. If I notice the dog’s leash is connected to a collar or harness that is too loose, I may ask if I may tighten it. I do not feel comfortable walking dogs with items that they can easily slip, and may decline an offer, if one is not willing to tighten it. I want all the dogs I walk to be completely safe and not be able to slip out and run. Rates do not go up if dog pulls, is reactive, or dog/ stranger aggressive.

About: I volunteer at the SPCA walking dogs and caring for the cats. I'm a lover of all animals. I'm very clean and responsible and care for all animals as I would a family member. I'm currently working full-time, but I'm available after 4 and all weekends and holidays. I have a dog and fours cats of my own and this seems to work for them. They are very happy. I take my dog on long walks and provide him enrichment treats and toys. I always check when leaving to make sure that nothing is out he can hurt himself with. I'm also very strict on cleaning the cat boxes as I don't want them to get sick or smell up the house. I will clean up after your pets and I will make sure they are safe and happy.

About: I will welcome your pet to its home away from home, showing them the attention and love they require as if they were with you. There isnt anything im not willing to try to ensure your best friend feels as comfortable and continues with their daily schedule the best of my ability- special walking requests (time, amount, distance, frequency), special dietary needs or medication administration, etc. Will allow on furniture and provide any "treats" that you request. But will also ensure that no pets on furniture, no people food, no treats, etc if thats what you desire as well. Either way, you give me the word and ill be more than happy to continue the same care your pet receives at home, no questions asked! If you're looking for a home away from home for your pet, youve found the right person and home! I look forward to hearing from you and mostly meeting the love of your life and continuing the same care they receive at home. I am currently a stay at home homemaker so this allows me to practically be with your pet family member 24 hrs a day which allows us to get to know each other quickly and ensues your furry family member is spoiled with my time. I currently live in a quiet neighborhood which allows me to keep a close eye on your furry family member at all times. Most of the time I get a sidekick with me immediately!! I ensure during potty breaks and walks that I familiarize myself with your pets needs, likes, and dislikes (eg. Other animals).
“Ashley took great care in looking after our cat while we were gone for the weekend. She has been super easy to connect with, reliable, and easy to talk to, keeping me updated frequently. She shared some photos of her time here as well, its always nice to see your pets being loved while you aren't there to do it. I would highly recommend Ashley to anyone looking for someone too care for their 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.
