“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.”
“J is fantastic with our pups and our cats. We have her make drop in visits with our crew when we are going to be out of the house too long. We have a senior pug, a Shepard, and 3 cats. She is so great with all of them, and they love the visits. I am so glad we found her to help out, it gives us such peace of mind and I never have to worry about our babies being loved in our absence.”
“Melissa took great care of my cat Finn! Super communicative, she sent lots of pictures and videos so I was assured he was happy and cared for. Knowing she was the one looking after him kept my mind at ease.”
“Lucinda was a great friend to our cats, sent us detailed updates, and was helpful when one of our cats was hiding out. We will definitely book with Lucinda again in the future!”
“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!”
“Lynden was an amazing sitter for my two cats while I was away! She was very communicative and gave me regular updates and photos, which I really appreciated. She took great care of my cats. I’ll definitely book her again in the future. Highly recommend!”
About: I've rescued and raised around 20 cats, multiple chickens, dogs, rats, and even a turtle!! I love all kinds of animals and I strongly cherish the ability to help them in any way I can! Im planning on going to college next semester, so I will have a lot of time to take care of (and play with) your babies! I greatly care for animal's boundaries, and I will never put your animal in any uncomfortable situation. I don't mind going out of my way for any accommodations!
“Megan and Michael were awesome! They were so great with my dog and sent me lots of updates from each drop in visit. It would always make my day getting a picture or video of my pup while I was at work! They were so easy to work with and flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend them and can’t wait for the next chance for them to watch my dog!”
“Kelsey did an amazing job with my dog! I was out of town for 5 days and needed a sitter to come let my dog Belle out a couple times each day. Kelsey stayed in great communication throughout the whole time and Belle LOVED her! Kelsey did everything that was needed plus she even tidied up each visit! I will definitely be using Kelsey again the next time I need a sitter!”
About: I have a very positive personality that I bring out in all work that I do. I am a practicing Speech Language Pathologist with a 3 year old pup of my own—Louie. I have taken care of pets through rover, as well as used it for my own pet care needs. I moved around the Portland area a bit, so I took a break from Rover, but now my life is more settled and I’m happy to take your fur-babies on walks, or drop in! I live in Mountain Park and would be happy to cover any “last minute” dog needs that you have. My schedule will allow for 1-3 walks/drop in visits per day. My most availability is Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. I pride myself in being thorough and paying attention to detail. I will follow any and all instructions that you provide. Having a dog of my own, I can supply poop bags and treats if necessary.
“Diamond was great! Having her pop round to meet the pups the day before my trip away was ideal. Having never used Rover before I was apprehensive to how the process would work but Diamond put my mind at ease straight away. Not only is she a lovely person but I could tell she was responsible and that my two dogs would be in great hands. I was away for a couple of days, and she came over to feed, walk, play and give medication to the pups when needed. Diamond touched base with me on each visit and even sent through a picture to show they were doing fine. When the trip was over, we wrapped it up and spoke about future visits. If Diamond is available I will certainly be using her in the future. Thanks a bunch!”
“Amy is the absolute BEST! As soon as I met her I knew my puppy was in the best hands possible. Her communication skills are top notch and I look forward to her updates which include the best pictures or my little guy! Couldn’t recommend her enough.”
About: I recently restarted providing pet services. Most of my experience is with small and medium dogs, especially seniors who need a little extra patience and gentle care. I’ve cared for multiple dogs at once, provided daily walks, and made sure they feel comfortable and loved while their owners are away. While I don’t have direct experience with cats yet, I’m very open to learning and eager to provide them with the same level of care. I’m also new to house sitting, but I’m highly responsible, follow directions carefully, and will always treat your home with the same respect and care I give my own. I do have a full time hybrid job, we can discuss a schedule if needed. I do come with a little senior, blind sidekick. He is very mild manner and chill but can not be left alone and therefore, we are a package deal. If this works for you please reach out. Familiarize myself with your home, your pets needs any instructions left and ask questions if I’m not sure, So I can provide the best care.
“We were so nervous about leaving our brand new puppy home for the first time while we went back to work. Megan came twice to feed and play with our two pups and was amazing and very communicative. Definitely recommend!”
About: Hi, I'm a life long dog lover and self employed artist. My dogs are my family and I will treat your pups just like part of the gang. My home is located close to several parks. Mt. Tabor dog park is where we go for our morning walk. I have many years of dog walking and handling experience. There is almost no breed or size of pooch that I have not been around. Additionally I have training in pet CPR.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Metzger
Brianna is such a wonderful pet-sitter and person to have check on your animals!!! Genuinely could not say enough good things about our experience. She went above and beyond to make sure our senior cat & chickens were well taken care of. Thank you Bri for the peace of mind while we were out of town!
We love Stacy! This was her third time watching our two adult cats, and she cared for them for a whole month this time. She always does an amazing job and gives them so much care and attention. It’s such a comfort knowing they’re in great hands while we’re away. We’ll definitely be booking with her many more times!
Teaghan was great-she not only looked after our cats, but she gave them extra time when she had it and made sure our litter robot was functioning appropriately (even though we didn’t ask her to do this)!! There was an issue where one of our doors locked on her, despite this she stayed with our cat and had a really positive attitude 💕. We came home to very happy cats and appreciated her communication and photos.
Alina was wonderful. She was very responsive and sent pictures of our dog during her check in. We knew Lady was in good hands when she stopped by before the day to meet and get to know Lady. My dog immediately felt at ease with Alina. Would absolutely ask Alina to care for my dog again.
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!

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
