“Thank you, Ariel, for taking such great care of Ginger. It means so much to me! 🐱❤️ I’m very happy and grateful for the care and attention you gave Ginger while I was away. Ariel is punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. He kept me updated and gave me peace of mind knowing that Ginger was in good hands. I would definitely reach out to him again to take care of my cat. Thank you so much, Ariel! 🐾❤️”

I’ll follow your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, meals, or medications. My goal is to help them feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
“This was our third booking with Ariela for our cat, Ember, and we couldn’t be happier! We love the daily pictures and videos - which show how much Ember loves the brushing and attention she gets while we are away! ❤️🐈⬛”
About: I've been taking care of animals my entire life from birds to reptiles and saved so many more over the years. My only passion in life is working with animals and looking out for them.💕 I have a very flexible schedule with only my weekends tied up. I'm always available in case of emergencies or anything needed. I'm here to help I take care if all animals with love and respect. I am willing to work with the most difficult to the ones that need extra care. I've seen it all and been though so much with animals, nothing scares me.
“Brenna did an amazing job caring for our two cats. She was incredibly reliable, communicative, and kind. I especially appreciated her patience while we figured out the timing for my cat’s daily medication - she followed instructions perfectly. The daily updates with cute photos gave me total peace of mind. You can tell she genuinely cares and takes the role seriously. Highly recommend and we are already booking her again!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments my entire life. Currently, I am a proud pet parent to two wonderful dogs: a 9 year old Golden Retriever (turning 10 in December!) and a high-energy 2 year old American Foxhound. Managing these two gives me daily, hands-on experience balancing the needs of a lively young hound with the gentle care required by a senior dog. Beyond my own pets, I have regular experience caring for friends' and family members' animals. I frequently pet-sit for an older American Bulldog (around 10 years old) and three cats (one boy and two girls), which has made me very comfortable administering specialized senior care and managing multi-species households. I’ve also cared for my aunt's Yorkies, giving me confidence with smaller breeds as well. Whether your pet needs a patient companion for their golden years, a high-energy playmate, or attentive care while you're away, I treat every animal as if they were my own! I work at a restaurant and my schedule is flexible. I mostly work evenings so i can do day time visits + after work if need be. In My Home: I provide a safe, secure environment tailored to your pet's needs. For dogs under 50 lbs, I have a comfortable crate available if they are crate-trained or need a quiet space to settle. I ensure harmful items are safely out of reach and that high-energy pets get plenty of supervised playtime and exercise. In Your Home: I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and walking. I keep living spaces secure, ensure doors and gates are carefully monitored, and provide plenty of attention and companionship so your pets feel safe while you're away.
“Rosanne M did an incredible job! 🐾 My dogs were extremely happy and loved her. She was on time with good communication. Will definitely have her watch my babies again! Thank you for your wonderful service! ❤️ #dogwalker #petsitter #gratitude #service”
“Ari did a great job taking care of our dog over the weekend. She sent us an update and photos for every visit. It’s so nice to know our dog is well taken care of in the comfort of home while we are away. We’ll book Ari again!”
“Aleanna is the best! Always on time and very friendly. Goes above and beyond and even vacuums up where our cat is messy which is SO appreciated! Our Nova girl loves her! Highly recommend!”
About: I am a manager in a pet store and I have a very caring, loving, and helping place in my heart for the furry additions of the family. I love all animals and I care for them like they are my own. They soon become my babies after a few short seconds after initially meeting! I am a manager at a pet store so pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine pretty smoothly. I also have two bunnies at home that are practically my sons who I treasure very much. I have a very open neighborhood that is perfect for walks. There are a lot of dogs in my community that are quite friendly. Along with a nice amount of woodsy space for your dog to feel happy and free!
“Kianna was great. She interacted very well with our cat and took great care of her. We also appreciated the instant and super friendly communication with Kianna. We highly recommend Kianna.”
About: Hi 👋 I'm Michelle, I've had dogs from the time I was in kindergarten. I started with one dog and added more to the family throughout the younger years of my life. At one point I had five dogs and one cat together at once. I am experienced with puppies, dogs, and seniors. I have a flexible schedule and can work with pretty much any routine that is needed for you and your animal. If you let me know what schedule is required for you and your pet I will make sure I am able to accommodate it. I always walk puppies and dogs on a leash so they do not run away or get lost. Watching an animal is necessary at all times even while inside, because you never know what they can get into. It's important that animals have a blast while their parents are gone but safety is always maintained. I will also be glad to take photos and send them to you so you know your pet is doing good.
About: I'm Jamila, owner of Professor Fleming's Petcare. I've spent 9 years caring for dogs and cats professionally — walking, sitting, boarding, and daily enrichment — so your pet isn't just supervised, they're actually looked after by someone who reads their body language. I specialize in small-to-medium dogs and cats of all personalities (yes, even the ones who "don't like anyone"). My approach is force-free and rooted in behavior science — no punishment-based methods, ever. If your pet has a routine, a quirk, or a specific need, I'll match it rather than ask them to adjust to me. Licensed and insured through Professor Fleming's LLC. I keep a flexible schedule and prioritize consistency — same walker, same routine, every time. I'm typically available for walks and drop-ins on short notice, and I plan boarding stays around a Meet & Greet first so we can make sure it's a good fit for everyone, including my own pets at home. As the owner of Professor Fleming's Petcare, I carry my own insurance and follow a documented care routine for every stay — the same standard I hold my own pets to.
“Finally peace of mind when I’m away from home! Maureen did a great job, she paid attention to the details, she is very professional and I noticed my babies were happy and relaxed when I came home 😽😽😽 Thank you Maureen!!!”

As a pet owner over the past 26 years I have worked with many pet sitters, Ariela is by far among the top three ever. This is because she is not only caring but also she is very responsible. I always come back to a home which is calm with a happy cat and everything is clean and orderly. I will definitely work with her again and recommend her highly.
My dogs love Sian. Sian is very loving towards my animals and always keeps me updated whenever she is taking care of my pups. She is very flexible and easy to work with last minute requests or schedule changes. I highly recommend Sian to look after your furry babies. Thank you Sian!
Thank you, Ariel, for taking such great care of Ginger. It means so much to me! 🐱❤️ I’m very happy and grateful for the care and attention you gave Ginger while I was away. Ariel is punctual, communicative, and trustworthy. He kept me updated and gave me peace of mind knowing that Ginger was in good hands. I would definitely reach out to him again to take care of my cat. Thank you so much, Ariel! 🐾❤️
Aria has come through for many of my last minute bookings. I know that won't always be the case but I appreciate her willingness to accommodate my schedule. I travel once a month for work and sometimes pretty last minute. She is very responsive and keeps my baby Blu comfortable while I am away. I will continue to book with Aria!
Our two huskies loved Branden and Gabi! They were great with our high energy puppy. You can tell they have lots of experience with big dogs. They asked all the right questions. I was especially happy when they asked what kind of water our pups drink. Branden was very thorough with logistics and loving towards the pups. Gabi was warm and playful. We highly recommend them and will be reaching out to them for future stays.
Being my first time away from my pet, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience than I did with Aleanna. She was kind and responsive with my initial questions and eased my concerns throughout the process. She followed my instructions perfectly and provided sweet updates with every visit. Will definitely request her services in the future.
This was our 1st time using Rover, or getting a pet sitter like this for our Havanese dog, and we were nervous. Thankfully Farai was wonderful! He came in and fed and walked our boy mid-day, as agreed, and did a great job. Farai stayed in regular contact and his pictures of Samson were so great to get. He did everything exactly as we had asked and he was wonderful with Samson. I will definitely have Farai help us out with our pet sitting needs in the future.
David was an awesome sitter. He really took the time in every visit to make sure my dog was ok. He was punctual, reliable and very kind. He also communicated every day and let me know how everything was going. I will 10/10 recommend him and will be booking him next time.

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 .

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.
