“This was the first time ever using a pet sitter. We could not have asked for anyone better to take care of our kitties. Elizabeth went above and beyond what we expected and made our trip so much less stressful We will definitely use Elizabeth again! Highly recommend!”
“Brianna was great with all 4 cats and put in time and effort to find the ones that were shy and made sure they were eating properly and taken care of. Great communication and helpful to give peace of mind while we were away!”
“Elaine was just awesome all around! She was quick to respond, was available when I needed her and was great with my pups 💜 She sent photos and even a video during her extended drop in visit. My pups were calm and happy when I returned home. I would definitely book with her again in the future.”
About: I am a retired teacher and dog Momma of four furbabies. I've been a dog Momma for over 30 years. My love for animals, especially dogs, runs deep. I've cared for small dogs, like my tea cup Yorkie, and large dogs, like my Siberian Husky who weighs over 100 lbs. I'm known for spoiling my dogs with lots of love and I'll spoil yours too. I've recently left teaching and have a very flexible schedule. I am available with prior notice, full time, any day of the week. I'm a grandmom so I'm even available on Holidays. In caring for your pets I will follow all feeding instructions, make sure fresh water is available in clean bowls and I will make sure to show them affection and playtime.
“This is my third booking with Kiarra in the past couple of months due to lots of summer travel. She provided daily pictures and updates as usual. During this booking, when she was concerned about the auto-feeders not dispensing food, she let me know and adjusted the camera I use to check in on the kitties at various times to the food bowl so that I would be able to verify Smokey's food was getting dispersed at the correct time. She's been great with my cats and I will continue to use her for future bookings.”
“Lillie was great! She took excellent care of my dog and did a great job of keeping me informed and providing photos. She even went above and beyond by bringing a delivered package in from the porch. Also, she accepted this dog sitting very last minute when my original sitter had to cancel. I would not hesitate to utilize Lillie’s services again in the future and recommend her to my friends and family! Thanks again, Lillie!”
“I felt confident leaving Ace for our short trip with Mary. She made sure he was cared for and loved while we were away. She sent updates and photos so we can check in on his situation. Thanks Mary.”
“Ashley was amazing! She watched our dogs while we were out of the country and was very communicative. She was consistent with visit times and sent pictures each time. We felt super comfortable and were able to relax on vacation knowing our dogs were taken care of! Highly recommend!”
“We feel so lucky to find Tokena here on Rover, she's very sweet and warm. She took great care of our Blake and sent so many photos, that really helped us feel at ease even though we're far from home. She even took our package inside which is really nice of her. Will definitely recommend and rebook!❤️”

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.
