“Ronit is a life saver! I recently rescued a Maltipoo on 8/24, Ronit met with myself and Mia the next Saturday. We connected right away and booked! Ronit has come in twice a day to check on Mia and walk her while I work in the office. Mia loves Ronit and it’s evident in the pictures and videos documented by Ronit. Ronit is communicative and provides relevant updates on Mia. Ronit definitely has me at ease with taking care of my Mia.”
“Sophia has been one of the best sitters I’ve had. Her communication skills are amazing and it’s clear she takes this role seriously. I did not worry once while I was away which was such a relief. I highly recommend her to everyone using Rover.”
“Mariia was wonderful! So kind and our cat adored her! She was very communicative and kept us very updated on our cat as we were away. We will definitely book her again!”
“My first time ever using Rover and I feel I am spoiled with Hadija! She is magnificent at communicating and takes extra care of my one dog with severe anxiety. I can say enough about her.”
“Kaitlyn was great! She even watered my plants and took the initiative to fill my bird feeder! I thought it was too much to ask, but she did it on her own. My kitty is very shy so she did not see him at all but she gave evidence of him eating and pooling. I had no worries! Thank you,Kaitlyn!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have experience with a wide variety of breeds, sizes, and personalities. I grew up in a home with Rottweilers, which taught me early on the importance of proper care, structure, and lots of love. Over the years, I’ve lived with rescue dogs and have also fostered dogs in the past, gaining experience helping dogs adjust to new environments and routines. Currently, I live in a home with a rescue St. Bernard and a Bernese Mountain Dog. While they aren’t my own dogs, I spend a large amount of my time caring for them, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I’m very comfortable with large breeds as well as dogs who may need extra patience and understanding. I’ve worked with many breeds and mixes, including Rottweilers, Bernese Mountain Dogs, French Bulldogs, St. Bernard, Labs, Doodle mixes, Pomeranians, Boxers, and a Rhodesian Ridgeback. I understand that every dog is unique, and I always aim to provide care that meets each dog’s individual needs while making sure they feel safe, loved, and happy. I work part time as a yoga teacher and 3 days a week in a hospital setting. This allows me to have a flexible schedule on Mondays, Wednesdays, and weekend (when I am not at the hospital) for daytime visits to take your pets out on walks, stop in for potty breaks or afternoon lunch/snacks. I currently do not have any pets of my own which makes overnight stays to care for your pets easy. I will come to your home for to care for your pet and offer them the services you wish to have for them. Whether that be overnight stays, daytime dog walks, offering meals, or even just some outdoor playtime in your backyard.
“As Callie walked up our driveway she was our Louie’s best friend. She connected with our dog, was very transparent with us. We spent time describing our dog’s behaviors, Callie was curious, knowledgeable and easy to talk to”
“Diana was excellent! She cared for cooper as if he was her own. I never had left cooper before and Diana eased my mind and made this a incredibly positive experience”
“My dogs took to Marc right away. He was at ease with both of my big guys and sent me cute videos of them playing. Marc really likes animals and it shows on how he cares for them. Looking forward to having him back when the need arises.”
“Yana took good care of our boy while we were away. I enjoyed seeing the photos she sent and hearing the updates of each visit. She communicated well while we were gone and made us feel at ease while we were gone.”
“Wilson was a great pet sitter. He sent pictures of my pets everyday and documented everything through the app. He spent time with them a swell which i really appreciated. I will definitely rebook with him in the future.”

“I’m so glad we were able to meet with Emily and have her sit for our cats! Our cats got along with her right away. She went above and beyond for everything. She was very reliable and communicative which gave us a lot of peace of mind while we were away!”
About: I’ve had pets for 50 years and have cared for family, friends, and neighbors pets. I’ve cared for my own dog through her senior years. I’m a retired teacher and mom, so I now have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to devote to your pet. I’m dependable, patient, and love having animals around. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and give them plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I understand the importance of being patient, attentive, and responsible. I’ve had pets and dogs my entire life and have cared for my own dog through her senior years. I’ll treat every pet in my care like one of my own.
About: I grew up caring for my family's black labs my entire life. I currently own two beautiful baby Shih Tzus, Tony & Guiness with my beautiful fiancé. They add so much joy to our lives and are a big part of our growing family. I invest a lot of time and effort into training them daily, to build trust and give them the best lives possible. Taking care of the animals in my life is a passion of mine, and I treat every pet like it's my own. I'm currently making pet care my full time job. After years of training athletes, I'm opting for a career that is rewarding in different ways. I'm available any time Monday through Friday and occasionally a weekend if I'm around and if it's a good fit. My apartment complex has many areas to walk outside, with sidewalks and open grass areas where I walk my boys. There is also a spacious indoor dog park in the basement of my complex where I take them to play, especially on rainy days. We do training both indoors and on walks outside, individually and as a family. I also expose my dogs to as many experiences as possible, bringing them to community events, outdoor dining, and social gatherings. Our family does not believe in leaving pets home alone all day every day, and want to give them as much stimulation and social interaction as possible.
“This was our second time booking Cindy, and she continues to be fantastic. She takes such great care of our senior dogs and is always responsive with clear communication. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. We really appreciate her and will definitely keep booking with her.”
About: Growing up, my family and I lived on a small farm with tons of animals, including horses, cows, chickens, cats, and of course, little dogs. I was taught from a very young age that any living thing should be respected and treated properly. Puppies and kittens have been in my life for as long as I can remember, and my love for them has only grown over the years. Pet care is part of our everyday routine. I’m a stay at home mom, so I’m home most of the day. We have a fully fenced yard that’s just under half an acre, and my kids and I spend a lot of time outside playing with our pets. They get plenty of exercise, attention, and love every day. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and lots of attention. I also keep their space clean and always make their safety and comfort a priority.
“Laura was absolutely great!! She took the effort to meet me a few times prior, so we could practice and learn how to do my cat's inhaler therapy and she was able to consistently do it for him this time! Very very pleased with the outcome!”
“Brittany was wonderful! We needed someone on shorter notice and she was super flexible and accommodating for both our doggos. They seemed very happy and well taken care of. Thank you, Brittany!!”
About: I've been around dogs my entire life and have experience caring for a variety of breeds and sizes, from two Shih Tzus at the same time to a 90-pound Boxer, and now my lovable English Bulldog. Friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, bathe, and care for their pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I'm comfortable with different personalities, energy levels, and routines, and I understand the importance of providing pets with patience, attention, exercise, and lots of affection while their owners are away. I work from home Monday through Friday, which allows me to provide consistent attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, and I'm available for early morning and evening walks, daytime boarding for pets with light activity needs, and boarding on weekends. I'm also available for weekday care and boarding after 5 PM. Because I'm home most of the day, pets can enjoy regular potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of affection in a calm, comfortable environment. Pets in my care are treated like family. I have a securely fenced yard for safe outdoor time and a friendly English Bulldog who gets along well with other pets. I typically accept dogs under 50 lbs but am happy to care for other pets as well. I have experience with puppies, senior pets, and pets with special needs, including administering medications when needed. For boarding, pets are rarely left alone for more than an hour, and I do my best to maintain their normal routines so they feel comfortable, safe, and stress-free while you're away.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Martinsville
I can't recommend Cindy enough! She went above and beyond while caring for my cat. From regular updates to making sure every detail was taken care of, she made being away so much less stressful. It's clear that she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. My cat was relaxed, happy, and well looked after when I returned. Thank you, Cindy!
Kaitlyn did a wonderful job taking care of our cat while we were away for two weeks. She played with, fed her, brushed her, cleaned her litter box daily, gave her flea medication, and even brought in our mail while we were gone. We would definitely recommend Kaitlyn and will definitely book with her again in the future!
Kaylyn was absolutely wonderful with my cat, Freya. She cared for her twice a day for 17 days, and I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Kaylyn was reliable, responsive, and very easy to communicate with. What I especially appreciated was that if anything came up on her end that might affect the agreed-upon visit schedule, she let me know ahead of time. That kind of communication made it easy to trust that Freya was in good hands and that I would never be left wondering what was happening. She also followed my instructions carefully and was attentive to Freya’s needs. I could genuinely relax while I was away knowing that she was being well cared for. Leaving your pet with someone for 17 days requires a lot of trust, and Kaylyn absolutely earned mine. I would happily have her care for Freya again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, thoughtful, and trustworthy pet sitter.
Diana took very good care of our cat while we were away for the weekend! She paid diligent attention to the care instructions, and gave us very detailed updates after each drop-in visit. She really went above and beyond, and we could enjoy our trip while knowing our cat was in good hands!

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.

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.
