“Kristen really came through for us on very short notice. She always takes excellent care of our pets and really cares about them. She’s very easy to communicate with, and is overall just a great person. I highly recommend her services!”

“Kimberly was wonderful with Izzy! She is my baby and she made sure all her needs were met during her visit. I’m in the middle of potty training so she made sure that she both pooped and peed during her visit along with getting in some much needed exercise. Definitely will use Kimberly again :-)”

“Roxanne was wonderful! My dogs loved her and were very well cared for even with med needs. I got lots of updates and pictures, great communication and care for my babies! Thank you Roxanne!”

About: I own two cats and have pet sit for friends before for their cats and dogs. I would love to help walk some dogs to get in more exercise! Weekends and later on weeknights sometimes. I cannot board pets, but am open to staying overnight if needed. I can walk dogs anytime of day on the weekends. I cannot board any animals in my own home due to owning two cats that would be stressed and I also rent a house. I have pet sit plenty of times for friends.
About: I come from a family of animal lovers! Cared for birds, reptiles, cats, dogs etc. since as early as 8years old. My mom has been a vet tech and my sister has been a dog trainer for many years and I’ve learned a lot from them and feel very confident in caring for animals and love doing so. I work full time from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday and have an hour break at noon in which I’m able to come home if need be. I am able to watch your pet anytime during the week after 530. And anytime during the weekends. I have one pug that is very friendly and LOVES playing with other dogs big or small. He also loves and does well with other animals.
About: Hey! My name is Sausha and I grew up with animals around my whole life. I have had hampsters, guinea pigs, birds, cats, dogs you name it, I have taken care of it. I am located 5 minutes from Downtown! Huge gated backyard to get all the zoomies out and we also have lots of parks nearby if your pet wants a change of scenery. I am currently a cat owner, his name is Cooter and he's a sweetheart who gets along with other pets with ease! I am looking to help other animal lovers out who need someone to take care of their fur babies when they arn't able to do it themselves. Reach out to me so we can work something out and make sure your pets have a safe, clean and caring place to stay. Drop - Offs only please! I currently work from home so I will be able to be with your pet at all times and give them all the attention they need!

From belly rubs to fetch marathons, I provide love, care, and cozy naps, all while ensuring they’re safe, comfy, and well cared for.
About: Hi! I'm Laney, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From high energy puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC, I pride myself on providing personalized, dependable care that fits each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach - whether it's long walks, playtime, or just cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet like they're my own. You can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry family members safe and happy while you're away! I currently work remotely part-time, so I have tons of free time in my day to give love to your babies! I love going on a daily walk when its not storming so getting your pups exercise in for the day will be no issue! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and familiar environment. I stick closely to each pet’s routine - whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime - so they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy, and I always keep the space clean, pet-proofed, and cozy. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions to a T. Whether it’s extra belly rubs, special diets, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what each pet needs.
About: I have had dogs my whole life, I love to play with any kind of animal and treat them as my own. I have taken care of my families and friends dogs and cats while they have went away on vaca. My schedule is pretty flexible. I am currently in school for dental hygiene. I do work at a dental office and I’m only there on Wednesdays’. I take my dogs out at least 4 times a day I let them free feed and they always have water. I play with my dogs as much as possible.
“Samantha was great! She took very good care of our two cats! We had to book her last minute and she responded immediately, did everything we needed for our cats and was a great communicator. Will book again! She even got our very shy/moody cat to let her pet her which is not an easy task!”

“Sherry and Kevin are lifesavers! Sherry got back to me quickly, and they were willing to help us out with our 3 dogs while we were moving. She was unphased by our senior dog’s mobility issues and her husband Kevin became our 3 year old bloodhound’s best buddy! We got pictures and an update with each drop in, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care, especially because they have experience owning large breed dogs which is a huge plus for us! We can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of our dogs and we’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”

About: I'm not professional but my husband and I have been dog owners all our lives. We would consider it a great joy and honor to care for your babies. We can come by your home for a walk, water and feeding. Or if you just need someone to look in on you baby. We can provide transportation to and from the vets or groomers. We will also like to offer day-care for you as well we will offer flexible hours. We don't have a fenced in yard but I am very careful about keeping my babies on leashes and will do the same for you. We have reliable transportation and an excellent work ethic. We are only doing this for the joy of being around the animals. It's very relaxing and fulfilling. There's nothing more pure than the joy of helping an animal. We don't have children living with us but my granddaughter does visit but she's very good with dogs and is always supervised. She's a dog lover too. ♥️

“Katie is wonderful! This was our first time booking with Rover and the whole process went very smoothly. Katie came for a meet and greet with our cats a couple weeks before our trip. She sent a message each time after a visit including photos. Even our timid cats warmed up to her due to her kindness and persistence in reaching out to them. We felt very confident leaving our cats in Katie’s care and will definitely be booking with her again!”
“My cat, Charlie, is very shy and cautious. Nick has been super patient with getting him on his good side! Charlie has warmed up to him so much, especially with this last visit. I always get so many pictures and videos which is something any pet parent would appreciate!”

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.
