“Matilde is an attentive, friendly, and reliable pet sitter. She sent great detailed updates and photos of our cat, Frankie, while we were away, and even came by early to meet us before our trip. Frankie has some special dietary needs and Matilde made sure she was cared for, while also giving her plenty of cuddles and attention. We highly recommend her for pet sitting needs and can’t wait to have her take care of Frankie again!”
“Monica has been so terrific watching Willow while we are at work. Willow was recovering from an Injury and Monica adapted wonderfully to assist her as needed. and Monica’s positive attitude, flexibility, and frequent updates make her one of our favorite pet-sitters ever! Strongly recommend!”
“Karen was amazing with my 2 cat babies!! Loved getting the photos from her and knowing they were being taken good care of. Good communicator, very kind person, and loves animals. Would most definitely recommend and will definitely book again! :)”
“Tira took care of our cat, Skittles, for a week while we were traveling. She took wonderful care of her and is a great communicator. We received daily updates and photos. Skittles was so happy to see her and enjoyed her visits. I would definitely recommend Tira. :)”
“Abbey is AWESOME! She's our new go to sitter, we feel very lucky to have found her. To start she's very genuine so you trust her immediately - not only did us humans feel that way but our 'I only like mommy' cat warmed up to Abbey from the moment she walked in the door. She handled the medication and feedings with no problem and clearly was looking forward to having some hang time with our guys. And she's a great photographer - we got a mess of fun photos each day. We just hope she sticks around the area!”
About: Back home in Turkey, I have the sweetest little poodle who I absolutely adore! Being away from him has made me miss spending time with dogs even more. I genuinely love dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I treat every pup like my own. I would love to give your furry friend lots of love, attention, walks, and cuddles while you’re away! I’m currently a student at Tufts University, and my schedule gives me flexibility to spend time with your furry friends! I love going on walks and spending time with dogs, so pet sitting fits naturally into my routine. I’m happy to work around my class schedule to make sure your pup gets plenty of love and attention! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pet with someone else. Having my own dog back home, I understand how much they mean to us! I’ll make sure your pup feels safe, loved, and comfortable at all times. I’ll follow their usual routine, give them plenty of attention, and keep you updated while you’re away
“I was super happy with the support we received from Alissa! From the start, she was very responsive and helped answer my questions about the process/next steps. We had her stop by and watch our cat for 30 minutes over 3 days. She was great with our cat and we'd certainly work with her again!”
About: I have grown up with animals all my life! I first started walking my neighbors German Shepard when I was 12 years old and I grew up with three cats in the our household. I had my own dog Guiness who was a silly goofy boxer until last year. I’m comfortable around any size dog as well as cats I have a unique work schedule where I have pretty early shifts so please take a look before scheduling! I work Sunday 9am-3pm, Monday 7am-4:30pm, Tuesday 6am-3pm, Wednesday 7:30-3:30p as well as later a shift on Thursdays 12pm-8pm so I have availability most people won’t have with an 8am-5pm job. With working Sunday-Thursdays, I’m available all day On Fridays! When I had my dog this schedule was really nice so he would only be left alone at home for around 4 hours at a time. I know how important it is to make sure your pet gets their energy out and bathroom breaks when you’re not there. I make sure any environment I’m in is clean and pet friendly whether that means crating your dog if they need to be after visiting or making sure I’m aware of my surroundings in walks. My dog was reactive towards other dogs so I have experience with reactivity and will be aware of other dogs while on walks. During visits I would love to play with your pet with their toys, puzzles, or lick mats whatever they need I’m there! I do have experience giving dogs medication as well if that’s something you need! I don’t have experience giving cats medication.
About: I grew up with our own dogs as well as 25 foster dogs over the years. Five years ago, I adopted Eddie, my 14 year old chihuahua mix. In May, I adopted Dolly, my 10 year old Boston terrier mix. I’ve taken care of puppies, seniors, 110 lbs dogs, 10 lbs dogs, and everything in between! I’d love to be able to help you and your family. I’m a teacher currently on summer break, so my schedule is completely free for the summer. Once fall hits, I’ll still be available during the afternoons and on weekends. I truly think that owners know their dogs best, so I will take the lead from you in regards of what your dog expectations are. Each pet has different needs, so I’d like my care to reflect their needs and approach each situation holistically
“I had a wonderful experience with Michele as my cat sitter. This was my first time leaving my cats at home while on a trip, and naturally, I was a bit worried. But Michele handled everything brilliantly. She's not only patient but also very good at keeping in touch, which eased my mind. What impressed me the most was how she connected with my shy cat, Tequila. He usually takes time to warm up to new people, but he felt at ease with Michele right from the start. It was such a comfort to see him not hiding anymore. I highly recommend Michele to anyone who needs a reliable and caring cat sitter.”
“Rebecca communicated well before we met and throughout the weekend, as well as provided adorable photos and updates during her visits. I would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”
About: I am 26 years old and I have been dog walking and house sitting with dogs and cats since the age of 11. I grew up in a house with 2 dogs and helped out throughout all the puppy phases. In high school I had a chinchilla and 3 years ago I got my own cat, so I am now much more familiar with their needs (I found the show "My Cat From Hell" especially helpful). I have a lot of experience with both anxious and energetic cats and dogs. I can administer oral medications and will make sure your pet eats their whole meal. I am currently working from home, so schedule is very flexible just propose a day and time and I will let you know what works! I can only care for pets in other people's homes, my apartment is not pet friendly. I am very mindful of animal communication styles and am good at helping tentative animals come out to play. I appreciate the opportunity to access a yard, park, or even spacious living room where we can play after a walk or before a meal.
“Angela was great with our cat Onyx! She was very nice to chat with during our meet at greet assuring me he would be well cared for during her check ins! We were very happy with the pictures and communication while we were away and will for sure be using her again in the future!”
About: Hi! I’m a high-energy, caring and respectful pet sitter with 5 years of experience caring for dogs. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, personalities and needs, including dogs who require extra exercise, medication or specialized care. I have experience providing dog walking, drop-in visits and house sitting, and I love getting to know each dog and their individual routine. Whether your pup needs a long walk, plenty of playtime, medication on schedule or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet and your home. I’m reliable, communicative and attentive to the little details that help dogs feel comfortable and happy while their owners are away. My goal is to make sure your pup gets plenty of love, exercise and attention while sticking as closely as possible to their normal routine. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pup! 🐶 I am currently between jobs so have time for walks and check-ins throughout the day. Overnight stay availability fluctuates depending on the week and my schedule. I cannot bring pets into my own apartment but am super comfortable staying at your home! I will show your home the same care and respect that I show your pet.
“Kristen took fantastic care of our kitty while we were out of town. We very much appreciated Kristen's reliability, attention to detail, and above all, the many pictures that she sent of our baby :) Thank you so much!”
About: I’ve been taking care of pets all my life! Growing up with 2 dogs & 2 cats, working as a dog walker all through high school and college, and now being a proud cat mom of 2, I’m well versed with caring for animals! I also have experience administering medicine to cats, and giving daily inhalers as I do have an asmathic cat myself. I really understand the anxieties that come with leaving a pet, and will make sure they are well cared for, played with, and provide thorough updates & photos! I work from home and have a flexible work schedule, plus I have a car so getting to your home to care for your pets easily fits into my routine. I will treat your home as my own! I’m happy to take care of house sitting duties as well, like bringing in mail, taking out trash, watering plants- I can even feed your sourdough starter! I also will commit to fast response times, and prompt updates + photos!

Yingzi is a wonderful cat sitter! She took great care of our cat Yokii while we were out of town on a short vacation, and she followed his daily routine and our instructions carefully. After every visit, she sent us a brief update with photos so we always knew how things were at home. It gave both my family and Yokii so much peace of mind. Thank you, Yingzi!
Gabby was great! She was really flexible to work with - on short notice she was able to stop by for a meet and greet and drop in on our kitties over a long weekend. She made sure to take care of the kitties' daily needs while we were gone, and even got them comfortable enough to play - we really appreciated her time and attention on BoBaTee! Thank you so much 😄

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 .

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.
