“Andrea did drop in visits for my 2 cats while I was away. She always sent lots of photos & gave a description about what she did when she was there each time. My cats seem to love her. I would definitely recommend Andrea to anyone looking for a sitter! :)”
“Summer was amazing! Our cats loved her gentle and caring personality, and we loved her reliability and communication. It was such a relief to have someone we trusted taking care of our kitties while we were out of town and we absolutely would book visits with Summer again. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of our boys!”
“Heather was such a great pup sitter! We had a last minute situation come up and she was so responsive and helpful in agreeing to do a drop in visit for my two dogs. Will definitely use her services again if the need arises.”
About: I have experience caring for all types of animals whether it’s dogs, cats or even rabbits. I have been pet sitting for close to 4 years and have been regularly dog walking for 2 years. My schedule changes on a weekly basis but I am very flexible. Most weekdays I am available, weekends I am more busy but we will work out a schedule that works for both of us! I want to keep your pet(s) happy and safe. In regards to petsitting I try and follow the routine that your pet is used to, and I love adding in fun activities and enrichment so they can thrive even when you are on vacation. I will also keep you posted with pictures and updates. For walks I change my approach for each pup, some dogs love to sniff, some like to run, and others love to learn new tricks. So whatever your doggy likes I try to provide a sensory rich activity as well as an opportunity for them to get some sunshine.
“Anne was amazing with our nervous 1 year old GSP puppy. She was patient and got him to relax and took him on a great walk! Thank you so much Anne!! ☺️ We will definitely have her look after him again in the future🩷”
“Knows exactly how to make friends with cats. Had them rubbing up on her and getting pets right away. Also knows cat routines and what to expect. Highly recommended.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and started helping care for them as a kid, everything from feeding and walks to training and cuddles. Since I turned 20, I’ve been professionally dog sitting and have cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Growing up with dogs taught me early on how to connect with them, understand their needs, and make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m currently available most days of the week and am flexible with scheduling, so I can easily adapt to you and your pup’s routine. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just providing company and comfort, I genuinely enjoy every moment spent with dogs and treat them like part of the family. I’ve been around dogs my whole life and started professionally pet sitting in my early 20s, so I know how important it is for your pup to feel comfortable and safe in their own home. Whether I’m caring for a high-energy puppy or a slow-moving senior, I bring patience, love, and plenty of attention to make sure they’re happy while you’re away. I always do my best to stick to your dog’s routine and keep things clean and respectful in your home—like a familiar, trusted friend stepping in when you need an extra hand.
“Rachel was a great pet sitter for our kitty, Bandit!! Rachel was very responsive and communicative which made her meeting Bandit, going over Bandit's care, and getting keys, etc., all easy and seamless! It is clear she loves and understands pets very well. We were away for over 2 weeks and Rachel came for daily visits during that time - she sent photos and updates each day and it was clear that Bandit was very happy and well cared for. Upon our return everything was is good order and Bandit greeted us with a kitty "smile"! We highly recommend Rachel, and hope to have her care for Bandit when we next need kitty care!”
About: Hey y'all, I'm Tyanna and I'm an animal-friendly, kind-hearted pet lover/advocate who has always had a deep passion for animals. I am empathetic, nurturing, and sensitive to various needs, and I take pride in providing compassionate and attentive care to pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to know that your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for, especially while away. I have owned a variety of pets over the years, including snakes, cats, and dogs, which has given me experience with different temperaments, animal species, and care needs. I am also a lover of the outdoors and enjoy hiking, which makes me especially happy to provide dogs with needed exercise! I am a full-time student, and my time is fairly flexible. I'm willing to travel to dog sit and can stay in the pet’s home to help maintain their routine and provide stability while you are away. I am also available for daytime check-ins for pets while owners are at work, as well as dog walking to ensure pets get the exercise and attention they need. Because I am new, my level of clients on the app is currently low; however, I can provide client recommendations as needed! My schedule is fairly flexible, so please contact me for additional details. I like to keep my schedule based on how the owners daily routine is with their pet. I like to keep pets on their normal/consistent schedule and will work closely with the owners to prioritize the needs of their pets. Safety is key for me, so I require a meet and greets prior to finalizing the official reservation. This not only allows me to meet the owners and understand their needs, but it also allows me to get to know the pet and ensure we have a good connection.
“Jaszmyn was absolutely fantastic! She took care of our two pups with a last minute booking. She lovingly met them beforehand and treated them as her own. Checked in as expected and provided pictures and a sense of peace to us while we were traveling. Highly recommend Jaszmyn and will be using her in the future!”
About: I’ve been breeding and raising golden retrievers since I was 16, I’ve been a professional groomer since I was 18. But my love for animals started when I was just a little girl. 🩷 I’m currently in my third trimester and I am a stay at home mom to be. So I am very flexible in my day to day schedule. I prefer to pet sit in the client’s home to make the pet feel the most comfortable and confident, while the pet parent is away.
About: I have been a large and small breed dog owner and caretaker for over 10 years. I have experience caring for dogs of most all sizes, ages, and breeds. Nothing suprises me and nothing is too much for me to handle. I have professional grooming experience and can provide baths for your dog(s) if wanted. I am usually very affectionate with dogs, but can adjust to your specific communication style if specified. I am constantly learning more about dog behavior and feel passionate about providing the best experience for both you and your dog. I am self-employed so have lots of flexibility on a day to day basis. I have a partner who helps care for my own pets, so yours will always be my top priority! I enjoy walking dogs and playing with cats (if they let me! haha). Animals are such an important part of so many of our life’s and I treat each pet I sit like my own!
“Alex is absolutely fantastic!!! He’s taken care of our cats on two different occasions and each time has been very attentive with them. Our 16 year old cat requires a lot of medication and Alex is the only sitter we could find who would administer all meds as required by our Vet. I would highly recommend Alex as a highly qualified pet sitter.”
About: I’ve lived with dogs my whole life and cared for them for the last 4 years. I am 19 years old and extremely active, I love runs and long walks and playing with all types of pets. I’m responsible and will take very good care of your pets. Im currently working part time and have plenty of time to check in and stay over to care for pets. I work some nights and am usually back home before 8. I live and work by two simple rules, treat your house as if it were my own and to leave everything better than I found it.
About: I have been watching dogs for 15 years. I have experience giving medications, walking, boarding, house sitting, aggressive dogs, all breeds, and dogs of all ages! I am a registered nurse taking a break from nursing and have flexible availability to watch your pets! I am home most of the time aside from errands! I have a clean home, clutter free and no carpet. I have a yard for your pets! Cages available if needed, LOTS of toys, extra bowls, I allow dogs to sleep on the furniture or in bed if approved by owners! I’ll love your pet like it’s my own!
About: Rescuing dogs — especially puppies — is the most rewarding feeling in life. The most important thing with our furry friends is consistency. If you're stricter with your dog, you need a sitter who'll uphold those rules, not let them slide. I've taken care of dogs and cats for friends and family for years, and I've learned that it's not about what I want — it's about honoring what the owner has built with their pet. I work with the public in my day job, so patience is second nature to me. Pets are no different. They need someone who can read their energy, stay calm, and meet them where they're at. I also love running and playing with animals. Exercise is huge — but I get that a walk isn't always about distance. Sometimes they need to run. Sometimes they need to stop and smell everything. I match their pace, not mine. I don't know if anything really sets me apart from other sitters. I just genuinely want to be there for the furry family member. My availability in inconsistent due to Firefighting but I will always respond as soon as I'm able too. I understand due to my schedule I won't the best sitter for if you need someone daily, but if you need someone to drop-in, walk your dog, or just need a night out, feel free to leave a message. Currently working for a fire department, schedule can be inconsistent. Great for drop in play times and walks. Days off from fire department can be great for unexpected care. Currently unable to have pets in home due to renting rules. Will make sure to confirm and follow all rules with you before accepting the job.

Andrea as great with our two dogs and they loved the outside play and companionship she gave them while we were away. She was very responsive in our communications and she was proactive in making sure she understood their care instructions. I would definitely recommend her!
Summer was amazing! Our cats loved her gentle and caring personality, and we loved her reliability and communication.

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 .

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 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.
