“She did a great job! She sent us daily pictures and gave us a thorough explanation of all of the things she did for pickles. Great to communicate with. We will definitely use her in the future!”
“Tyeshia helped us with our puppy for a couple weeks and she made the biggest impact! It is apparent that she cares about our baby girl just as much as we do! Her updates were informative and thorough, and overall communication was a huge plus. She even brought her own treats and water bowl, going above and beyond. 10/10 recommend Tyeshia to help your family, she will not disappoint. We will be booking again in the future!”
“Leah did a phenomenal job watching my dog, Denver. From the start, she was incredibly communicative and made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She kept me updated, was very kind, and it was clear Denver was in great hands the entire time. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. 10/10 experience, and I would most definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over six years, and spending so much time around animals has taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and way of communicating. My experience includes caring for dogs both in Colombia and in the U.S., as well as cats, so I’m comfortable with different temperaments and daily care needs. I’m patient, dependable, and always focused on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I know how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I treat every pet with the same kindness, respect, and attention I would expect for my own. Whether it’s sticking to their routine, going on walks, playtime, or simply keeping them company, I’m committed to providing reliable, loving care every visit. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be available throughout the day for walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine to make sure they receive the care and attention they need. I provide attentive, reliable care in the client’s home to help pets stay comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any special care needs such as medications or senior support. I focus on creating a calm and safe environment while owners are away, making sure pets feel secure, loved, and well cared for. I also keep owners updated as needed so they have peace of mind during every visit.
“Austin was on time every day to take care of my dog. He sent great pictures and asked good questions. My dog was at ease with him, and he made me feel safe. Thank you for caring so much!”
About: I am a mature, flexible retired RN who loves all animals. I’ve taken care of cats, dogs and non-traditional pets. I have a penchant for setting the pets and the pet parents at ease! I’m happy to keep your pet(s) company so they are not lonely while you are away! I perform the usual services: take the dogs out, clean the kitty litter daily, feed & provide fresh water on their schedule, keep them safe and give them treats, if allowed. There’s time for snuggles, playtime & exercise. I will go above & beyond to meet your needs.for pet care. I have experience with senior & young pets. I can accommodate special diets, medications and special needs. I have experience with a blind senior dog and many rescue dogs and cats with emotional, as well as physical needs. I am attuned and equipped to handle medical problems that may arise and would contact you immediately in an emergency. I can perform first aid on mammals if needed. I am available for drop-in visits or overnight stays, depending on your preference. For drop-ins I can come M-F mornings, late afternoons and anytime on weekends. I’m happy to do a meet & greet before you leave to assure you are comfortable. I look forward to working with you and your awesome pets!! I am free most weekdays, weekends and holidays. My standing commitments are from 10am to 1pm M-F, so pet sitting can easily be scheduled around those hours successfully. I am very at ease with most pets and they usually like me right away. It’s a little different with cats & some dogs sometimes, who may have a wait & see stance. I am very patient in that instance and allow them to check me out in their way & in their time. I build trust with patience, kindness & love, respecting the animal’s boundaries.
“Rebecca is awesome. Great communication and pictures with updates. It is hard to trust that someone will take care of your dog like you would (when you are away) but Rebecca loved our 4 year old Corgi/pit mix like hee own. Thank you Rebecca for taking care of our baby while we were away!”
“Absolutely amazing!! My one cat that NEVER comes out for anyone but me warmed up to her and clearly trusted her. So happy my babies were cared and loved for while I was gone”
“Melanie dropped by our home to check on our two kittens. She always sent updates and pictures. She communicated very well and was super trustworthy! We’ll definitely have her watch our cats again 😊”
“5 stars doesn’t adequately reflect how incredible Nicole is at what she does. A number of factors make pet sitting my two guys DIFFICULT but she is attentive, patient and prioritizes safety. The peace of mind that comes with finding someone so reliable is priceless-I would recommend her to anyone!”
“Ana was a great help checking in on my cat, Rose, while I was away for the weekend! She did everything I asked her to do and gave great updates. Rose seemed to take to her right away and didn’t hide at all like I had expected!”
“Kendall was great with my cats! Normally when we come home from a trip they seem agitated, but after having Kendall check on them they were happy, calm and seemed like they got a mini vacation too. Would highly recommend Kendall to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Gabriela was fantastic! She sent several photos each visit and kept me up to date with notes on drop in visits. I highly recommend her services and will rebook her in the future!!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Mary Esther
I had a great experience and would definitely book again! I needed a sitter on short notice, and they were incredibly accommodating and responsive. They followed all of my care instructions carefully and even reached out with thoughtful questions to make sure everything was done correctly. I especially appreciated them checking in about my dog’s lunchtime meal; I had almost forgotten to mention it, and their attention to detail gave me so much peace of mind. It’s clear they genuinely care about the pets they’re looking after. Thank you for taking such great care of my dog!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my cats received. From the start, he took the time to help my cats feel comfortable and safe. He genuinely engaged with them, played with them, and paid attention to their individual personalities and needs. The litter was consistently kept clean, and I was really impressed by the sitter’s attention to detail when it came to my cats’ routines and overall well-being. It gave me total peace of mind knowing my cats were not just cared for, but cared about. I would absolutely book them again and recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate cat sitter.
We had Jennifer check in on our cats while we were away for Thanksgiving, and she did an amazing job. Her communication was great and always kept us in the loop. She was professional, reliable, and went above and beyond—bringing in our packages and even cleaning up after the cats when they made a mess. We came home to happy pets and everything taken care of. Highly recommend Jennifer for anyone needing trustworthy and attentive pet care!

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Mary Esther stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

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.
