“Wojciech took great care of our dog Nutella while we were at a wedding. This was our first time having a drop in visit in our home. He was super responsive and kept us updated on how much she ate and made sure she went to the bathroom. Nutella definitely appreciated the long walk as well! We will definitely be booking with him again!”
“Emily was awesome! She took great care of Hope and sent lots of pictures and comments, which I really appreciated because I am always anxious about traveling and leaving her alone. I also really appreciated her willingness to roll with changes when our vet prescribed a new medication two days before I was leaving and I reached out with an additional request that she administer it. Super grateful for the great care she took of my kitty!”
“Amanda was wonderful with my fickle, sassy cat! Attentive to her preferences and boundaries. My cat clearly felt secure because by the end of the week she was following Amanda around and requesting head rubs. I will absolutely hire Amanda again next time I’m out of town. It was a great comfort and relief to know someone experienced and reliable was checking in. Thank you!!”
“We had a great experience with Sara! She was so kind to our kitties and took great care of them while we were away. We appreciate her detailed updates and photos - it let us know they were in safe hands while we were gone! She also helped out with bringing in mail, packages, and litter, which was much appreciated! Would definitely book again when the time comes.”
“Emily was awesome and super helpful. We needed a cat sitter last minute for a weekend and she was very responsive and willing to help. Our cat Finch loved her and she made sure to send lots of pictures and updates. Will definitely be using her again in the future!”
“Shannon was so great with our dog, and we will definitely use her again! She always arrived right on schedule, and made sure everything went smoothly, and sent plenty of pictures of how happy our pup was while in her care. This was our first time having a dog sitter in several years, and now feel very comfortable to do this more often.”
“I’m so grateful for Julia helping us out! She was very responsive and sent picture updates after each visit. I have already recommended her to multiple people. Thank you Julia!!”
“Jordan has been phenomenal with my puppy! He's very communicative and gives great recaps, this is so important when you’re trying to train and create a routine with a puppy. I’m so glad to have him helping us, my dog Leroy and I both are thankful for his service!”
“Jordana was wonderful with my dog, Schuyler! She was really communicative before each visit, and Schuyler clearly loved her and was well-fed and played with each time I came home. I would definitely recommend Jordana to others!”
“We had a great experience with Alexis while she did drop-in visits for our dog Miso. She was incredibly thoughtful and flexible. She agreed to meet Miso twice before our trip so he’d feel more comfortable, and even added an extra visit when our travel plans changed unexpectedly. She was also attentive and reliable, and handled Miso’s behavioral quirks with ease. He can be high-strung and pushy and it gave us peace of mind to know he was so well looked after while we were away. We highly recommend Alexis and would be happy to utilize her again for future care!”
“joy took such amazing care of my miss jade! she including so many great pictures and videos of the whole visit. jade absolutely loved her and joy provided her with all the lovings in the world! i would highly recommend her to anyone and will most definitely be booking again! thank you so much again🥰🫶🏻”
“Our Moose’s favorite dog sitter! We love Colette too. Super sweet and always reliable. Thanks again for all your help and keeping our minds at ease while we’re away.”
“Molly was amazing! Went to Jersey shore for 2 weeks and she handled EVERYTHING! Feedings, extra walks, picking up the mail… she was above and beyond. Great at communicating and lots of photos and details. Always on time. So responsible and mature.”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for 3 years and I also work at a doggy day care. I’m very comfortable and experienced with handling a lot of dogs at once, as well as different sizes, ages, breeds and temperaments. I also have experience caring for sick or injured dogs. On top of dogs, I have experience caring for cats, birds and reptiles. I am currently finishing my psychology degree, and then moving on to my veterinary technician degree. My dream is to work with animals, and I’m eager for more experience to grow my resume! I work Tuesday-Friday, with Thursday and Friday being my longer shifts (8 hours). If your dog is okay being alone for that period of time, or if you only need me for one night, I am completely willing to board those nights! If not, I am completely available the whole day Saturday-Monday. Most of my dog sitting experience has been dog and house sitting in the clients home. I am a very clean and respectful guest, and I feel being at home makes it easier on the dogs when their parents are gone. Being in an unfamiliar place with a person they don’t know can be stressful, overstimulating and anxiety inducing for many dogs. My biggest priority is not only the safety and health but the happiness of the dogs I watch.
About: I’ve been passionate about animals for as long as I can remember! I started dog walking at 16 and have been volunteering at local animal shelters since I was 18, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for a variety of pets, including dogs, cats, and even reptiles, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and care needs. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, I’m here to treat your pets with the utmost care and ensure they’re happy and safe while you’re away. I work full-time so I offer all services, but for house sitting and house boarding, I can provide potty breaks between 4-8 hours. I always treat your home with the same respect and care as I would my own. While caring for your pets, I make sure their routines stay consistent—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or just relaxing together. I’m attentive to details like keeping feeding areas tidy, cleaning up after pets, and ensuring your home stays secure while you’re away.
About: I’ve been surrounded by animals since I was a child. My family taught me to love, respect, and care for them because they are part of the family. I believe that, just like people, dogs need fresh air, exercise, and time outdoors to stay happy and healthy. I currently live in the United States as a nanny, and one of my favorite parts of my day is taking the family’s dog for walks. I love seeing her enjoy the outdoors, explore new places, and get the exercise she needs. For the past three years, starting when I lived in Colombia, my friends have trusted me to care for their pets whenever they traveled or needed someone reliable. I have experience walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I am responsible, patient, and truly passionate about animals. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, happy, and cared for as if they were my own. I currently work as a nanny, but I have plenty of free time during the day. I’m available Monday through Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM, which gives me plenty of time to provide relaxed walks, playtime, and outdoor adventures. I want every walk to be enjoyable and enriching for your dog, not just a quick trip outside. Every dog has a unique personality, so I like to get to know them and follow their pace. I enjoy taking dogs on walks, exploring different parks, and giving them a safe and fun opportunity to enjoy the outdoors because I truly believe regular walks are important for both their physical and emotional well-being. I also love taking photos during our walks and sending updates to pet parents, so you can see how much fun your dog is having and feel connected while you’re away. My goal is for your dog to come home happy, exercised, and excited for our next walk.
About: 140 dog years of experience as a Professional Animal Caretaker/Dog walker. I am passionate, patience, intuitive, mature, high energy, reliable and a great listener. I do what I do because I love it, I also work for a very reputable company that has been in business 22+ years!! I look forward to meeting and greeting your families.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Merion Station
Christina was so good with Nora! We were gone for 13 days which is the longest we have ever left her, and it was comforting knowing she was in such good hands. Nora was so relaxed when we arrived and all the pictures showed why. I would definitely ask Christina to watch her again!
Hannah is the best!! Her dog and mine do really well playing together, so he’s come along which helps make my guy extra happy. Both times I’ve needed Hannah, it’s been short notice and around of big life stressors - she’s been more than accommodating and easy to coordinate details. Once you meet her, you know you can trust her :)

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 .

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.

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.
