“Rachel took fantastic care of our boy. He’s not the easiest dog but he clearly really liked her. Knowing she was taking care of our boy was very reassuring. Will definitely be using her in the future!”
“Lucy went above and beyond what I expected. My kitties were very upset I left and would hide under my bed when she showed up, but she made sure they had fresh food and water, even crawled on the floor and sent me pictures of them daily. I will definitely use her again.”

“Tori was great! We made a last minute request, needing service for a total of 3 days. She arrived with prompt notification and ended the service time providing photos and details of the visit. Definitely use her in the future.”
“Ashley is absolutely wonderful! She is so loving and caring with my pup. I feel completely comfortable knowing he was in such attentive and trustworthy hands. I would absolutely recommend her and would happily book with her again!”
“Mia took care of my 4 month old puppy and 8 year old dog. She ensured that their needs were met and went above and beyond to care for them. She communicated efficiently and made sure to update me after her visit.”
“Britney has watched our boys two times now, and both times she has been wonderful. They’ve all loved her visits. Definitely recommend Britney if you’re not usually comfortable leaving your pets for longer trips!”
“We are very particular about the care of our precious dog child, Boone. Prior to our trip we were new to Rover and so nervous to entrust a stranger to care for our boy. However, when we met Abby before going on our trip, we knew we had chosen the perfect person. For starters, Abby also shares a love for chocolate labs owning two of them herself. Abby went above and beyond to make sure Boone was taken care of. Lots of play times, walks and cuddles! She sent us several pictures each visit which I absolutely loved. Book with Abby, you won’t regret it!”
“Sydney was awesome! She asked questions to make sure our cat was getting the best care and was extremely attentive to our cat’s needs. She completed care that we didn’t even ask her to do because that’s how thorough and thoughtful she is! We will definitely be booking with Sydney again. Our cat wasn’t even mad we left, haha”
“Jaclyn exceeded our expectations! She did everything that was asked of her and more. She even took the kitty litter to the dumpster! Our cats absolutely loved her and were very happy when we got home. She was patient with our cat, Moose, who takes a little more time to warm up to people, and was sure to give our energetic cat, Mabel, everything she needed. I will definitely book Jaclyn again in the future!”
“Blake is truly outstanding! She did everything as instructed and did an excellent job keeping us apprised. She was very attentive to our three cats, devoting time to playing and snuggling. She even managed to befriend our shy cat who often goes AWOL when strangers are in the house. I highly recommend Blake.”
“Brooke was amazing when taking care of my two cats while I was away. She always sent lots of photos and made sure both cats got the wet food and attention they needed. Went above and beyond!”
About: I have been providing services through Rover for 5+ years. Dog sitting, drop ins, day care and dog walks! I grew up on a small farm with dogs and cats as well as horses, cows, chickens and rabbits, so I've cared for animals all my life! As I currently own a dog and a cat myself (or do they own me?) I will care for your pets as if they are my own! I am a nurse but I currently stay at home with my kids full-time. That means my schedule is open and flexible in caring for your pets any time you need! During a drop in I make sure to follow all instructions, send detailed updates and make sure the pets have a positive experience while I am with them.
“Sabrina is an absolute angel- our english bulldog was so taken care of while we were gone. We are so thankful to have found her and have someone with such a kind heart to love on our lazy guy!”
“Melanie took care of my cat while we were away. She is fantastic, reliable, trustworthy and professional. The check in cards are a great feature and the fact that I can select to receive Rover messages as texts is also a great option. The app is user-friendly and works smoothly.”

Brooke went above and beyond. We got in a bind the last minute before we were leaving on a trip and Brooke met me the next day before we left to meet our dog and then came to watch him later that night. She did more than just take care of mingo she got mail took in packages and even got our trash from the curb. Brooke is 10/10 and we can’t wait to have her back. And our pup can’t wait either!
Angelique is amazing! She had been caring for my dogs for years and every visit she loves on him like her own. Thor gets spoiled and loved and always gets excited when his best friend comes over. If you are looking for the best person ever to care for your animal , look no further! Words cannot describe the gratitude I have for her!
Samantha will be the only one I trust to watch my gunner moving forward. I genuinely felt she loved my boy just as much as I did and gunner must of felt it because he loved her immediately. This was my first time using anything outside of boarding and as long as she is available this will be my first option moving forward.
Amelia was amazing with my two cats, Milo and Bella. She took great care of them by feeding them, cleaning the litter box, and spending time playing with them, which really put my mind at ease while I was away. One of my cats is very shy and I left specific instructions for how to handle that, and Amelia followed everything perfectly. It was clear she was attentive, patient, and truly cared about my pets. I would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful pet sitter.

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 .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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.
