“Janessa did an amazing job sitting our two cats! After each visit, she sent us a very thorough update with how everything went and included photos of not only the cats, but the specific tasks I asked her to do. She also didn’t hesitate to reach out when she had a concern about one of our cats, which made me feel confident they were in good hands. I’ll definitely re-book with Janessa in the future!”
“Jessi is the absolute best pet sitter on this app! She really loves our dog and makes sure she not only has the best care, but the best experience. She's reliable and a great communicator. I don't worry for a second when we are away. Thanks Jessi!”
About: I have had 3 rescue dogs and 3 rescue cats over the past 30 years. I have dealt with all ages and various medical conditions. In addition, I have continuously watched dogs for my family and friends. For several years I also volunteered for Animal Friends, walking dogs and doing cat socialization. I work a full time job, Monday through Friday, 8am to 5pm. I have plenty of availability weekday evenings. The weekends I am available from 7am to 10pm. I treat your home and your furry family members with the utmost respect and care. During my visits, I ensure your pet stays strictly on their familiar routine to minimize any stress or anxiety. I keep a watchful eye on their behavior, ensuring they don't chew on anything hazardous and stay safe while exploring the yard or going on walks. Your home's security is vital to me, so I double-check locks every time I enter or leave. In the rare event of an issue, I am fully prepared to contact your preferred veterinarian and coordinate with Rover's 24/7 support team immediately.
About: I have my own 5 year old corgi, Winnie and 2 year old corgi, Walter. I’ve watched my friends’, neighbors’ and parent’s dogs for years. I love all dogs and know how important it is to trust the person caring for your fur baby! I am home early on Fridays and all day during the weekends. I love to walk and spend time outdoors and am happy to take your pup along! Need early weekday mornings or weekday evening help? Just ask- we can make it work! My dog is my child and I intend to treat your pup just the same! I am happy to follow any specifics you have to keep your pet comfortable- no request is too crazy. I get it- they’re your best friend!
About: I’ve grown up surrounded by animals—dogs, bunnies, guinea pigs, and now two sweet cats of my own! I’m a lifelong animal lover who knows that every pet has their own unique personality and needs. Whether it’s walks, playtime, snuggles, or just good company, I’ll make sure your furry (or fluffy!) friend feels safe, loved, and cared for while you’re away. I’d love to get to know your pet and treat them like one of my own. I work M-F, but my schedule can be pretty flexible, especially on days that I work from home. I have a lot of autonomy over my schedule & will be happy to work with you to meet your pet's needs. I am comfortable with any specific instructions or directions that you have for your pet in your home. Whether you are looking for a quick check in, replenishing food/water, administering meds, a walk, etc - I'm happy to discuss how we can make sure your pet feels loved and cared for while you're away!
About: I've cared for all kinds of animals and am happy to do dirty work that animals need to live clean. I'm a thorough, compassionate caretaker and I want to work with what your house and pets need. I work 5 days a week as a park ranger, but am looking for care opportunities in certain evenings and on weekends. I have two cats myself, which limits my boarding opportunities, but my schedule still allows for overnight stays. I have two cats myself, both are fed no-grain dry food and vitamin/oral supplements with wet food. One cat needs much play, exercise, and attention, while the other needs to be seen and talked sweetly to, and only pet while she eats. I've spent much time learning their behaviors and needs, and intend to do the same with every animal in my care. Even my snake had a way to tell me he was too cold or overhandled and wanted to be put back. I've had many guinea pigs and hamsters, and came up with creative ways to enrich them without endangering them. I've cared for many bugs, and know how and when to check their moisture levels, I do extended research on their diet needs and substrate needs, and I'll do the same for you. Animals and pets are family, though they can't tell you what they need, you can always learn and provide for them.
“Brianna was an outstanding cat sitter! She was very communicative and really took the time to get to know my babies before I even left town. She was patient with my shy girl and understood she just needed some time to feel her out. She made sure water bowls were filled and even cleaned their food bowls, which was above what I was expecting. I received several pictures during the visit and could tell they were comfortable. I would recommend Bri to those of you with kitties. 10/10”
About: Look no further for a responsible, loving companion for your pet. I love every animal as if it were my own. I have a senior small dog of my own, and before that I had experience walking and caring for my neighbors' dogs when I was younger. Outside of Rover, I have multiple clients I regularly house-sit for with pups of all ages/sizes. I've also volunteered with shelter dogs! I also have experience with other animals if required. In my home I have 3 wonderful cats as well as my dog! I've worked with rabbits, dogs, cats, turtles, and am eager to learn about anything else. My top passion is pets. My availability is flexible, but I prefer a heads up at least a week in advance to coordinate accordingly. I am also a trained groomer, so I have experience in all grooming aspects, dog handling, and dog body language. My own pup is reactive, so I am incredibly comfortable and confident in handling your pet if they have behavioral issues as well. DISCLAIMER: I require a meet and greet prior to any daycare stays in my home, for everyone's comfort. Everyone's safety is of the utmost importance, including your pets' and mine. While one of my cats is very elusive, the other loves dogs and so does my dog! I am great about fitting some care into my day even on shorter notice. My routine is usually just hanging out at home and popping out to grab a coffee a few times, so I'm available to your pet nearly 24/7! Please let me know any special care instructions! Unless otherwise stated, I always let pups out every couple of hours, feed once a day and always give fresh water. Some dogs prefer to be leashed when outside but others will go on their own so please notify me of your preference! My main priority is keeping your pet happy and safe.
“Savanna is awesome! She is so flexible and always willing to help! Husker took to her very quickly, we’ve used her help many times and have no complaints!! She goes above and beyond by walking Husker and playing with him in the backyard, we’re very thankful for Savanna!”
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
About: With over seven years of hands-on pet care experience, I bring both professional expertise and genuine passion to every animal I care for. I currently work at a veterinary clinic, where I’ve gained valuable skills in animal health, safety, and wellness. At home, I share my life with a lively family of four dogs, four cats, and ten reptiles, giving me a deep understanding of the unique needs and personalities of many different species. Whether caring for furry friends or scaly companions, I treat every pet as if they were my own. I work full-time at a veterinary clinic from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., but I’m still able to provide flexible and reliable pet care. I can stop by in the early morning before work and in the evening after work, ensuring your pets get the attention and care they need. If needed, I can also make a quick afternoon visit during my lunch break to check in, refresh water, or give extra love and attention. When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. With my background as a veterinary assistant, I’m trained to handle animals with care, recognize signs of stress or illness, and respond quickly in any situation. I create a calm, comfortable environment where pets feel secure and loved, whether in their own home or during visits. You can trust that your pets will be treated with the same attentiveness, patience, and compassion I give my own, ensuring their well-being every step of the way.
“Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with! We spent a long weekend away from home and were blown away by how friendly, professional, and kind Kelly was with our two kitties! She went well above and beyond to make sure we were constantly updated on the kittens’ well-being and excelled at taking great care of them and our house. I HIGHLY recommend Kelly!!”
About: I have exposer to multiple types of pets. Dogs large and small I have been relied on to take care of family and friends fur babies since I was 13 I currently work a 4x10 shift so I have flexible Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I also do not start until 9 so I can always do a little before work and after 7 pm I will treat your dog as my own when under my care. Whatever needs you have for your pets as you are away I can take care of!

Janessa did an amazing job sitting our two cats! After each visit, she sent us a very thorough update with how everything went and included photos of not only the cats, but the specific tasks I asked her to do. She also didn’t hesitate to reach out when she had a concern about one of our cats, which made me feel confident they were in good hands. I’ll definitely re-book with Janessa in the future!
Amy is a fantastic and loving caregiver!! We are so lucky that we found her. She is attuned to both of our pets needs and spends quality time with both them in addition to all the tactical stuff (food, water, potty breaks). She is highly communicative and even brings in packages if they come so the house feels attended to as well! Do yourself a favor and book Amy!!
Allyson was so good with my boys! She went above and beyond for them. She walked them, fed them, gave them their medicine and hung out with them outside during the nice weather days. I got pictures every visit to show how happy they were with her taking care of them. Already booked Allyson for my next trip! Thanks again for being great!
We have been working with Ayla for a couple of years while she lived in Chicago, and we were so sad to learn she was moving home to PGH after graduation. Ayla is extremely reliable and such a wonderful pet sitter. She is very detail-oriented and prepared for every visit. She most recently cared for our cat (cranky) but also has experience with our dog (pittie), and they are both enamored with her. She truly got to know our pets, and her care for them exceeded our expectations. She always provided regular and consistent photos and updates, easing our minds while we were away. From drop-ins to house sitting, we always came home to happy and healthy pets and a clean apartment at that. There's no need to look any further for your go-to sitter because Ayla is it! We can't thank her enough!
Taylor's pet care service was exceptional! Daily reports were much appreciated - and she did much more than we had asked or expected. We could not have been more pleased with her services - and definitely plan to request them again if she continues to provide them. Would highly recommend Taylor!
My dog has a lot of separation anxiety. Jessica popped in to take her for a walk while I was at work. Jessica was great with communication and sent me a picture while on their walk. Jessica was thorough, and asked great questions prior to meeting my dog. She gave me peace of mind while I was at work. I would recommend Jessica and will be using her again! 😊
Rae Lynn did a great job taking care of our cats. We were a bit changeable about the booking: we removed a date, added a cat, added the removed date back. Rae was wonderfully flexible and accommodated all our short-notice changes. She sent photos and updates, and our cats were well cared for in our absence.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
