“Sian was awesome once again! I went out of town for a week and completely misjudged how much dog food my dogs would need while I was away. Without hesitation, Sian went out and picked up more food for them, and I was able to reimburse her after. I really appreciated her going above and beyond to make sure my dogs were taken care of and comfortable while I was gone. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. Thank you again, Sian — I will definitely be booking with her again!”
“Maureen goes above and beyond when taking care of my pets. I don’t trust anyone else with them. I know she’ll not only follow my instructions but also care for their well being. She puts my mind at ease when I need to be away from them. I strongly recommend her.”
“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.”
“I had Brenna sit for my dog Maddy, and I was really pleased with her. She was caring and attentive, and Maddy seemed to warm up to her right away. I appreciate how dedicated she was during her first visit. I look forward to more good times ahead!”
“Roseanne is the best dog sitter we ever had. She’ll follow exact instructions and willing to improvise if needed to. All of my dogs love her, especially one of them aren’t crazy with strangers and yet she loves her from the first sight. Without her, I won’t feel safe to have my dogs alone and I’ll have her again next time in the future”
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!
“Ariel was great. We scheduled a 30 minute mid day visit. Ariel was right on time, gave us many photos and an update of the visit. We will definitely rely on Ariel in the future.”
“gabriella was great with my frenchie! she watched him for a couple of days, took him on lots of walks, and kept me updated the whole time. very communicative and reliable. i’d absolutely book her again!”
“Another wonderful trip without worrying about our fur-babies. Ari is the absolute best, thank you for all of the pictures to let us know they were doing so well in your care while we were away. Amazing love and care is evident in all of your time spent with them. Thank you so much”
“I’ve never seen my dog happier! Ariela went above and beyond. Stopping by to tend to Tuti and check on things around the house. She is trustworthy, responsive, and got one of the best pictures ever taken of my dog, at her happiest. Worth every penny!”
About: I’ve always had a genuine love for animals and have grown up caring for and spending time with pets. I’m patient, attentive, and enjoy building a trusting bond with each pet while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. Pet sitting is something I truly enjoy and would love to make time for alongside my other responsibilities. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, companionship, feeding, and general care based on each pet’s individual routine and needs. I also have experience working at a veterinary clinic, where I had the opportunity to interact with and care for many different types of pets. That experience taught me the importance of being attentive to an animal’s behavior, comfort, and individual personality. If a pet needs to stay with me, I live in a pet-friendly neighborhood with designated areas for dogs and a nearby park where they can enjoy additional space and exercise as well a fenced backyard. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for while they’re in my care.
About: Pets are family, and I’m passionate about providing the individualized care they deserve. With over 10 years of experience in pet care and dog training, I’ve learned how important it is to truly understand each animal’s unique needs and personality. It’s more than just feeding them or taking them for a walk. For me, it’s about creating a safe, nurturing environment, building relationships founded on trust, and helping every pet feel comfortable, confident, and happy enough to truly thrive. I believe clear communication with pet parents is just as important as the care itself, so you always feel connected and at ease while your pet is with me. I work remotely and part-time for a puppy training company, which gives me the flexibility to be present, attentive, and spend lots of quality time with your fur-babies. I tailor my care to each pet and the specific service you book, whether that’s drop-in visits, dog walking, boarding or daycare. During drop-in visits, I make sure your pet’s basic needs are fully met - fresh water, feeding (if needed), potty breaks, and a clean, comfortable environment. Beyond that, I spend quality time with them through play, enrichment, or simply providing calm companionship, depending on their personality and energy level. For dog walks, I focus on safe, structured walks that match your dog’s pace and training level. I reinforce good leash manners using positive reinforcement and make sure they get both physical exercise and mental stimulation. In your home, I always aim to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible, since that’s what helps them feel most secure. I’m very mindful of your space, follow all care instructions closely, and provide updates so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.

Another wonderful trip without worrying about our fur-babies. Ari is the absolute best, thank you for all of the pictures to let us know they were doing so well in your care while we were away. Amazing love and care is evident in all of your time spent with them. Thank you so much
Ariela did a fantastic job watching my cat (Peanut) while I was gone! This was my first time using Rover and had a fantastic experience! She was attentive and caring. My cat sometimes does not come out or interact with new people but Peanut loved Ariela! She sent lots of photos and videos of Peanut every time she stopped by for a drop in, will definitely be using her the next time I am away!
I highly recommend Ariel! I absolutely love him and he is always my #1 pick when it comes to both of my dogs. Ariel treated my dogs with care and patience. He is reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable leaving my dogs in his hands. I really appreciated the updates and attention to detail. He even brought my packages inside. I will definitely continue to use Ariel's services again & again!
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.

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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Margate stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
