“April is impatient and so willing to go above and beyond for my senior dog. I love her updates and she is so great to communicate with. Seriously the best. We will be using her as often as needed! She is our first choice!”
“Connor was fantastic! He was completely reliable and on time for all his visits. He took great care of my dogs, ensuring they had their potty breaks and fun playtime. I also loved getting the photo updates. Highly recommend him and will be a repeat client!”
“Maddison was fantastic with Tiger and Missy our two cats! She sent a great photo update during her visit and was amazingly flexible when we unexpectedly had to cut our trip short. She truly cares about animals, and we felt completely at ease leaving them in her hands. We’ll definitely be rebooking!”
“Kimberly is very polite and sensitive to our needs and wants for our cat Leo while we are gone. She communicates with us everyday. We hope she will be available the next time we need her. Thank you Kimberly Mark and Teresa”
“We are so happy to have found Maria! One of my pups is skittish and takes time to warm up to new people. Maria was wonderful with her. We look forward to rebooking with her in the future.”
“Siera was so helpful for us while we were on vacation. She was flexible with our scheduling, kept us updated with our dog and even helped us with a bee issue that rose while we were away. We highly recommend using Siera!”
“Eliana has been incredible with our pup. He's a bit skittish and nervous around new people and dogs - especially other dogs - and she has always made him feel calm and safe while we're out of town. She's our go-to Rover person now!”
“This is the second time Sara has watched our cat Lily. She does an awesome job with her and gives her lots of attention. It is always stressful leaving your older cat when you need to go out of town, but knowing Sara is checking on Lily makes it so much easier. Thank you Sara!”
“Julie was amazing! We had an amazing experience! She took such great care of Rocky. Communication was excellent she kept us updated and made us feel completely at ease. It was clear Rocky was happy, loved, and well cared for. We’re so grateful for her and would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone on Rover!”
About: I’ve had pets all my life and always made the effort to give them the best care possible! I will treat your pets like they are my own and they are cared for properly. I am very ambitious and hard working, I work full time but will make sure the pet care I provide is above and beyond because that’s what they deserve. I will follow instructions to the letter and not make any judgments or decisions that wouldn’t be in your pets best interest or without owner permission.
“I can’t say enough great things about Jaclyn. We decided to hire her for our crazy Great Pyrenees and all of our indoor cats. She was very punctual and we returned home to very happy babies. I had initially asked her to provide photos of them and she sent me photos of individual pet with every visit!! On top of that, she also spent quality time with them for their mental stimulation. We will hire her again and recommend her to all the anxious mothers who hate to be away from their furbabies. Thanks to her, we were able to spend some time away from home with ease of mind 🥰”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was 12, and my love for them has only grown. I’ve cared for puppies, seniors, and everything in between—including my own dog through his golden years. I know every dog is unique, and I’m here to give them the personalized care they need! I’m a full-time, stay at home Wife! Therefore, I have the rare flexibility to offer round-the-clock care for your pet. Your dog will receive my full attention throughout the day—whether it’s a morning walk, midday playtime, or evening snuggles. I no longer have any dogs of my own, which means my home is a calm, pet-free space—ideal for pets who may prefer one-on-one care. I only care for one dog at a time (unless both are from the same family), so your pet gets personalized attention and never has to compete for love or space. I completely understand that trusting someone new with your pets can be unnerving. I provide personalized care tailored to each pet’s needs, whether in my home or my client’s home. I create a comfortable, stress-free environment by following their routine, ensuring they get plenty of exercise, playtime, and affection. From daily walks and feeding to administering medication or providing extra attention for puppies and senior dogs!
About: I’ve had various pets in the span of my life including cats,dogs,hamsters,gerbils, guinea pigs,fish, and frogs. I’ve always had a passion for caring for animals, and have experience working in a vet clinic for 3 years, as well as an animal sanctuary. I’ve always enjoyed pet sitting for friends and family, and have cared for blind and diabetic dogs, as well as ones with behavioral issues. One of my cats has separation anxiety, and I know what it’s like to worry and not want to leave your babies alone. I will give them plenty of love and entertain them while you’re away! And as I currently don’t own a dog, I would love nothing more than a furry friend to spend time with! I’m currently working part time and my schedule is very flexible throughout the week! I’m typically available to check in on your pet up to 3 times a day. As a pet owner myself, I understand worrying about them while being away. I’m a very reliable person that would give the upmost care and love for your baby. I would love to send updates and pictures to you often to give you peace of mind! I’m also very willing to do the small household chores like cleaning cages/litter boxes/ any messes they may make.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Melissa
Ashley was awesome as usual! We love her detailed notes over how the visit went and she sends us the best pictures of our puppy during her stay! She definitely optimizes the whole hour with our puppy and is really WITH him during her whole visit! We appreciate her so incredibly much!
April is the best! She went out of her way to make sure our girl was eating before she went to play. Our Belgian Mallinois will skip meals to play lol I loved getting Nora’s report cards when we were out of town , my heart felt at ease knowing April was there to take care of her! I think Nora made a new bestie ! Thank you !!! Would recommend to our friends and family anytime.
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!
Here’s a natural, polished version for the Rover review: Connor was great! He respected our home and followed all of our instructions for taking care of our cat. He also kept in close communication with us and reached out whenever there was an issue or question, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for cat. I highly recommend Connor to anyone looking for a reliable and responsible sitter for their cat or dog!
We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Ashlee is incredibly kind and took wonderful care of our cat while we were away for three weeks. She stayed in touch with us throughout our trip, sending lots of updates, photos, and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly, spent quality time with our cat, and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for every day. When we returned home, our house was exactly as we had left it—clean and well looked after. Ashlee treated both our home and our cat with great respect and care. Ashlee will definitely be our go-to sitter from now on, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring 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.
