âI can't say enough good things about Anna! She arrived on time and jumped right in to playing with Louie. She took him for a walk, played with him in the yard, and gave him a much-needed rest time. I know these things because she sent me pictures when I was away. The house was clean when I got home, and my puppy was relaxed and happy! I would have Anna back in a heartbeat!â


âI had an ant problem unfortunately and Nina & Leo took care of it as well as taking great care of my cat. I was able to return home to the ant problem solved and a happy cat. I was able to enjoy my time away. I thoroughly trust & recommend them.â


âJulia is the best Cat Sitter ever! She is a joy to communicate with, very mature, thorough and lovely. She seems to love the details of taking care of my cats and is attentive and remembers everything. She loves the animals and sends great reports that let you know she has really spent time with them. I was away for over 2 weeks and was deeply concerned my hyper attached Bengal would stop eating. But no problem. Julia Rocks! I'd like to keep her my secret but she deserves the report!â
About: Iâve grown up with dogs since I was in elementary school, and I currently own two labs. Iâve taken care of puppies and senior dogsâwhether it be dog walking, general play, or feeding / caretaking. Iâm a college student home for break so I have tons of free time - Iâm available pretty much all hours of the day and weekend :) Iâm unable to care for pets in my home (I have two dogs currently), but Iâm more than happy to visit clientâs homes as needed!

About: I have grown up around dogs my whole life. I am well-versed in walking large and stubborn dogs such as Newfoundlands and Great Pyrenees. I have been a parent to Wells, a very high-energy Vizsla, for 5 years now. We did all our training ourselves and successfully trained a great loose-leash walker. I am eager to help other dogs learn this skill as well! I am working locums, so I am gone for 4 days twice a month and otherwise home and available the rest of the month. Open for walks and visits all day! If your dog is open to a play date, I have a very friendly, high-energy dog that would love to get his zoomies out with your pup. Open to going for long walks or nearby fenced-in dog parks.
About: Other then caring for my two family dogs i worked at adogo pet hotels for about a year! Also helping with cousins and other friends dogs! Would be caring around my regular work schedule. when i am home my pets are my number 1 priority always. they come first for sure at my home i let them out the front and keep them on the leashes or let them out in the fenced in back yard! will do whatever is best for the client
âWe have been asking Danielle to look after our cats for years now and she always does a great job! She sends great updates and is a master photographer of our kitties. We always feel at ease traveling knowing that Danielle is looking after our cats.â

âWeâve been hiring cat sitters for over a year now, and Rachel is definitely one of the best people weâve ever worked with. She took wonderful care of our cats; they were safe and happy. We would absolutely love to have Rachel take care of them again in the future - highly recommend! đąđŤśâ

Constantly being around animals has taught me a lot and I am committed to continue learning . I am comfortable handling any breed of dog, energy levels , and size.

âRachel was amazing taking care of my two kitties while we were away. She was always in communication and kept me updated on how they were doing with pictures and videos! I would highly recommend Rachel !â

âI booked with Megan for check-ins for my three cats over the holidays and she was amazing! From the meet and greet to her notes and pictures, she was professional and attentive. She went above and beyond providing care for my pets. After a few other lukewarm Rover experiences, I was so happy to find Megan.â


About: I love animals and have hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I cared for my own cat for 18 years, so Iâm very comfortable with senior cats and understand the patience, attention, and gentle care they need. Iâve also pet sat for my neighborsâ cats and cared for a small senior dog while they were away. I know how important it is to follow routines, give medications if needed, and make sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their own home. Iâm reliable, attentive, and treat every pet as if they were my own. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply enjoys a calm companion, Iâll make sure they receive plenty of love and personalized care while youâre away. I have a flexible schedule and can dedicate time each day to providing attentive care for pets. I enjoy starting my mornings with walks and check-ins, and Iâm available for feeding, playtime, litter box care, and companionship throughout the day. I make sure each petâs routine is respected and that they receive the attention and love they need while their owners are away. I believe pets are happiest when they can stay in their familiar environment and keep their normal routine. When caring for pets in a clientâs home, I follow their instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, medication needs, walks, playtime, litter box care, and any special preferences. I take the time to make each pet feel comfortable and loved, whether they need an energetic play session, a relaxing cuddle, or simply a calm companion nearby. I also provide updates and photos so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away.
âOutstanding support and help with our 9-1/2 year old lab while we were out of town. Very attentive, gracious and caring in looking after our dog. Will absolutely use again if she is willing to watch Moose again.â

âMorgan was very helpful and accommodating with dropping in with our pets on a very short notice and even did extra things to help out in the house. She was very considerate, attentive and provided photos with updates which were very appreciated. Would definitely book with Morgan again and reccomend her to others!â

âI was nervous about finding a new person to watch out pets during travel, but Iâm so glad I found Octavia! We came home to happy, relaxed pets and a clean place - I will definitely ask Octavia to take care is the fur fam again.â
âGuilherme did a great job with our dogs! He was timely and provided a lovely update about his visit. Weâre very thankful he has been able to help when we need it!â

Once again, Yifan was great with my cat Rhys! I appreciate her attention to detail and her thorough report cards! I enjoyed reading them each evening while away and seeing photos of Rhys. Thank you again Yifan for your thoughtful care of both Rhys and my place!

Jess did great with Moose! The meet and greet beforehand helped us (and Moose) to feel really comfortable with everything. Jess asked great questions, showing how much she cared about the visit! And we appreciated her flexibility with last minute time changes. Thank you Jess!! đžđž

Rachel is amazing! She is really clued in to our catâs well being and quirky habits. Her daily reports (including things she notices that are non-pet related, like houseplant watering needs) and attention to detail make us feel completely at ease while we are gone. Sheâs the absolute best!!!
I can't say enough good things about Anna! She arrived on time and jumped right in to playing with Louie. She took him for a walk, played with him in the yard, and gave him a much-needed rest time. I know these things because she sent me pictures when I was away. The house was clean when I got home, and my puppy was relaxed and happy! I would have Anna back in a heartbeat!

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your petâs routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your petâs mood and energy levels.
Whether youâre at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Menlo Park stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitterâs 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 youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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, donât 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 Justiceâs 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 Roverâs 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.

- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
