“I've hired Stacey twice for drop-in visits for my two senior cats and I am very happy to have her. She is reliable and genuinely enjoys giving them a bit of extra loving after their feedings. I plan to book her whenever I have a pet-sitting need.”
“Mary Anne is the best! She takes great care of our cats and we never have to worry. She communicates well and always sends the best pictures of our girls. So happy we found someone reliable who our cats love! Couldn’t reccomend her more!!!”
“Andi did an amazing job with our very shy cat (who had bolted at the planned meet&greet)- charming him down from his hiding places and getting him comfortable - purrs and cuddles all around. Thank you! we'll certainly look for you next time we have to travel. And she's a much better cat photographer than we are.”
“Jessica was great in handling and caring for our Maine Coon male cat who has anxiety issues when we leave town for a while. Communication was excellent including daily photos and an occasional video. Highly recommended!”
“Lucinda is the best of the best! My kitty immediately fell in love with her. We will absolutely be checking her availability first before anyone else. Thank you so much for your care and attention. She really is as great as everyone says!”
About: While I don't currently have a dog of my own, I grew up with a golden retriever, Charlotte, and know what it takes to keep a dog happy, healthy, and well cared for — including the never-ending battle with fur (I've vacuumed my fair share!). That experience taught me just how important regular grooming is, and I'm happy to help keep your pup brushed and looking their best. I can administer medication, whether it's a pill, liquid, or topical treatment, so your dog's health needs are always taken care of. Daily walks and playtime are my favorite part of dog care — I need the exercise just as much as your dog does! Whether it's a leisurely stroll, a brisk walk, or an energetic round of fetch, I'm happy to match your dog's energy and keep them active and engaged. I can't wait for the chance to give your fur baby the attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you're away. Pet care fits seamlessly into my life because my schedule is extremely flexible. I'm available both weekdays and weekends, so you won't have to worry about finding coverage no matter when you need it. I can also accommodate same-day requests, so if something comes up unexpectedly, I'm ready to step in. Whether you need a quick daily visit, ongoing walks throughout the week, or an overnight stay while you're traveling, I have the time and availability to make it work. Your pet's routine and comfort are my priority, and my flexible schedule means I can adapt to whatever they need. I love caring for pets in the place they feel most comfortable — their own home. I know that pets thrive on routine and familiarity, so rather than disrupting their environment, I come to them, keeping their space, schedule, and surroundings as consistent as possible. I'm dependable, so you can count on me to show up exactly when I say I will, every time. I'm also detail oriented, which means I pay close attention to your instructions, your pet's habits, and anything specific that helps them feel safe. Above all, I'm respectful of both your pet and your home. I treat your space with the same care and consideration I'd want for my own, and I make sure your pet gets the attention, comfort, and companionship they need while you're away.
“Justina is fantastic! She has been super responsive and communicative. I feel reassured we found someone who really cares to come look after our pups. Don’t hesitate booking with her!”
“So grateful Matthew could help watch my place while I was gone. He was conscientious about sending me pics and updates and my neighbor enjoyed his conversation.”
“Emma was amazing! Our cats clearly loved her and she was so great with communicating with us. We felt completely at ease with leaving our cats at home. Would 100% recommend Emma!”

About: I sent two kids off to college this fall and I am looking to pick up some side work with my extra time. I have a five year-old English yellow lab and a rescue two year-old orange tabby cat. I regularly take care of pets for my friends and neighbors. I have a flexible schedule, so I can be very attentive to your animal. I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I am available during the day, evenings, and weekends as well. I have ample time to play with and take care of your animal. I have a large fenced backyard. I have a five year-old English yellow lab and a two year-old orange tabby rescue cat. I am able to separate my pets from yours or they are more than welcome to play together. I am able to crate your pet, if needed.
“Whitney is incredible! She dropped in to walk our two dogs twice a day while we were out of town. She was very thorough with her check ins and I felt great leaving them in her hands. Would highly recommend Whitney!”
About: I have owned and trained "difficult breed" dogs, I have a cat or two at a time, I have also owned reptiles and raised rodents. I love our fur family and would love to have your friend over for company!😉 I'm always home (thankfully!) I would have a scedual like this; .5 mile walk morning and evening, mid day outside play, and a warm lap or blanket before bed. Food will be provided as directed or once a day along with open water bar, happy hour all day. I have a fenced yard with lots of grass to roll in. Your best friend can hang by the pool, in the grass, or in the shade. Let's do a weekend sometime!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Metzger
We couldn’t have been happier with Stacy while we were away! She was punctual, followed all of our instructions, and took great care of our cat, Nacho. We really appreciated the wonderful photos and updates, and it was clear that she genuinely cared about him. Knowing she was checking on him twice a day gave us great peace of mind. We would absolutely use Stacey again and would love to have her care for Nacho in the future. Highly recommend!
Hannah did a great job taking care of both my cats, including one nearly 14 year old and one one year old cat. The older one requires medication twice a day. I was given detailed updates and many pictures from each check-in. The cats looked really happy, and the house was really clean when I came home (9 day job, two visits each day). I am fortunate to find her, and hope to hire to her again!
Alyssa is fabulous! She did drop in visits while I was out for long days for a convention. The dogs had a great time. I appreciate Alyssa's attention to detail, her understanding of dog behavior and her gift to get to know each pet as an individual. Highly recommend!
Danielle is an amazing dog walker/sitter! We knew right from our meet and greet that she’d be perfect for watching our dog, Nash. She’s so attentive, communicative and her love of dogs shines through! We felt like we could fully enjoy our vacation because she was taking such good care of Nash. Her updates are detailed and amazing and brought a smile to our faces each day! We’ll definitely be booking Danielle again for any pet care needs that arise. She’s a lovely person and I 110% recommended her!
Alina did a fantastic job taking care of our shy elderly cat. She kept to the agreed schedule, followed all direction and sent regular updates at each drop in. She was calm and let him become comfortable with her, so we were able to get pictures of him get pets and attention after each drop in. She also went above and beyond, putting our trash cans out on the curb, after seeing our neighbors put theirs out. We would absolutely hire Alina in the future and recommend her services to others.
Dannielle was absolutely incredible with our two cats while we were away for Labor Day Weekend! We have a 15 year old cat who has several daily medications (both oral and topical) and Dannielle administered all of them with no issues! Not only that, but she gave her a “breakfast in bed” experience so she could eat where she was sitting comfortably. Dannielle played with our 1 year old cat, even giving her some delicious silvervine. We got so many pictures and videos of our babies, which was the highlight of our evenings while we were gone. Truly cannot recommend Dannielle enough, incredible sitter!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
