“Mia & Maria were very sweet and loving. My dog has separation anxiety but he seemed to get comfortable with them very quickly. My pup also loved the backyard. Mia & Maria were experienced with caring for older dogs as well. I was extremely satisfied and will be booking again.”
“Kathryn took great care of our two kitties while we were out of town. She was quick with all communications and made sure to check all of our kitties' hiding places to send a photo!”
“Isis was extremely attentive to any special request and instructions that I had for my dog. She was on time and was a great communicator with great follow-through. A very sweet and kind disposition to her. I would absolutely recommend Isis to anyone looking for a kind and friendly care taker for their pet!”
“Rosandy and Edward are remarkably the best caretakers I have ever had for Blaze and Starlette. I am truly beyond grateful for having them in my life. Blaze and Starlette are exceptionally cared for always. Thank you.”
About: I've been working at a doggy daycare in San Francisco for over five years and I never get tired of working with puppies! I am capable of handling any sizes of dogs and I love it when they bond with me and follow me around. I am also experienced with dog sitting and it brings me joy to see the pups get snuggly at the end of the day. I’m working from home few days a week so I’m pretty flexible with the schedule. Evenings and weekends work for me too if you need a last minute reservation! My experience as a dog handler trained me to be aware of my surroundings and I am really good with communication so I won’t be hesitate to reach out to clients if I ever encounter any issues or have any questions regarding the pups.
“Jeffrey was incredibly communicative, answering texts promptly and giving helpful updates. He followed all instructions and was just great with my kitten, giving him his medicine and playing with him.”
About: I've been a trusted house sitter for 12+ years now. Animals of all ages, including house stays for up to two weeks. I'm happy to travel as I’m a strong believer an animal should stay in routine as best as possible while owners are away to make it less stressful for them. I am currently working remote with a very flexible schedule so it's easy for me to work around your pets needs. I have an open schedule and can be with your pets as needed to keep them in a routine and schedule your family has set in place. In my 14 years of pet sitting I have found it works best for the animal to keep them in their home and environment to reduce the amount of stress while the owner is away and keep them in their own routine as best possible. The owner being away is stressful enough and my goal is to reduce anxiety and keep them in their routine.
About: I grew up with a shih tzu mix and have pet-sat for dogs big and small for several years. I am highly dependable and responsive. I am a working actor so odd jobs are part of my weekly routine. I sometimes substitute teach from 8-3 during the week but other than that I am home unless I book a gig, which I usually know about at least 2 weeks in advance. I have a small garden area where dogs can relieve themselves and I also live close to many great parks. I love taking walks and I am not afraid to carry a dog when they get too tired.
“Esther was great with communication and taking care of our puppy Chutney! She was very thoughtful and attentive to our home and baby. Chutney can be a little shy at first until he opens up and Esther was so considerate giving him his space and waiting until he was comfortable to play with her. We will absolutely book with Esther again.”
About: I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each. Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle. Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.
“Jania was quick to respond to my messages, took good care of my senior pup and sent lots of photos of their walks. She even brought in a package left outside my door. Would rebook!”
“Kennedy was great! Sent a lot of photos and great summaries!! Bowie was not used to her yet and was a bit uneasy but she still was very detailed and caring. She tried her best to make him comfortable but he unfortunately wasn’t in the best mood. Thank you Kennedy for staying positive!”
About: I've loved animals for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been something I'm passionate about. Over the years, I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages for family, friends, and through my professional experience. Whether it's going for walks, providing enrichment and playtime, feeding, or simply giving them love and attention, I enjoy making sure every pet feels happy, safe, and comfortable. I previously worked at a dog daycare, where I supervised and cared for large groups of dogs, learning how to understand different personalities and make sure every pup had a fun and safe experience. I now work at a veterinary emergency hospital, where I help care for and stabilize pets while supporting and communicating with their owners. This experience has taught me how to recognize changes in a pet's behavior, stay calm under pressure, and provide compassionate, dependable care. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll treat your pet with the same love, patience, and care that I would give my own, so you can have peace of mind while you're away. Im currently working full time, 3-4 days of the week. I’m an available to play and care for your pup(s) during my free time as needed! Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness will always be my top priorities. With my experience working in a veterinary emergency hospital, I'm trained to recognize signs of illness, injury, or stress and know how to respond quickly if a problem arises. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I'll follow your pet's routine, respect any special instructions, and keep you updated with messages and photos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry family member is in safe, loving hands.
About: Ever since I was 5, I've always had animal in my life. My family got our first cat when I was 5 and she lived to be 22! I grew up being very involved in their care, even going to the vet with my parents. Since then I've lived with many different pets and watched many friends and family's when needed. While sitting I will have plenty of free time for walks, the park, playing, and hanging out. Any attention your pet may require. I'm accustomed to long stays and quickly getting to know pet's personalities. As of right now I have complete open availability so can be as present as needed. I currently have open availability and can always be around when you and your pet need it. Weekends, weekdays, and long stays are no issue at all. I'm located in Ridgewood and travel mostly by bicycle so I can get anywhere fast. I let pets approach me, especially when first meeting, to give them the space they need and to not appear confrontational. Staying consistent and being calm with meeting pets where they need to be met is well understood. Environments will be kept clean and behaviors will always be noticed and taken into consideration. You can rest assured knowing emotional and physical care will be a top priority.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since I was out of college. I have my own 5 year old Pitt-lab mix so have experience with high energy breeds I offer flexible scheduling and do my best to accommodate both planned bookings and last-minute requests whenever possible. Very active communication to make everything beneficial for both you and I. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my highest priorities\. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs before every booking so they receive personalized care\. I carefully follow all feeding instructions, medication schedules, exercise routines, and any other directions you provide\. During walks, I use secure leashes and remain alert to our surroundings to ensure your pet stays safe at all times.
About: I've raised 2 huskies & am currently raising a German Shepherd. I have been employed with another dog walking app since 2013 & have completed over 1000 walks with them. I am usually available from 9 A.M. - 5 P.M. any day of the week. I am happy to adjust as needed for clients upon request. I follow all instructions provided for by the pet owner. I am very aware of my surroundings while on a dog walk as I'd like to provide my clients with a seamless experience.
“Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!”

Angela was wonderful with Tappi! She was very patient and seemed experienced with puppies. I also really appreciated her great communication and flexibility when I needed to change the visit times. She made the whole process easy and gave me peace of mind knowing Tappi was in good hands. I would definitely book with her again! 😊
Amazing experience from start to finish. Yahaira (Naomi) was very communicative and attentive to my elderly dogs needs. My oldest girl is blind and has some cognitive loss. Naomi treated her with care and made me feel very comfortable leaving my kids in her capable hands!
Rachel was so kind and patient with our young puppy! Our puppy is still learning and doing all the typical puppy things, and she handled everything really well. We really appreciated her patience and understanding as our little one continues to learn and grow 🙂
Mark was fabulous with my lil girl who I have only had for a month. I appreciated he let me know she was scared at first (her first walk since I have had her with someone other than me!) He was able to coax her out and she was an absolute star in her second walk with him a few hours later. He has a very special way with her--and I fully trust him with her 🩷 He also provided a very thorough update on how many times she peed/pooped/ate/drank. I would love for him to be her regular walker.
We’re so grateful to Angie for looking after our little Moylan! ❤️ She took such great care of him, making sure he was fed, played with, and given plenty of attention. She kept us updated with lovely pictures and messages throughout, which gave us such peace of mind. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. We’re so thankful she was able to mind Moylan and would recommend Angie 100% to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pet!
Sophia was wonderful with my senior dog who definitely needs a bit more TLC. I truly appreciated the detailed notes after every visit and the pictures. It was comforting to know that Sophia was happy giving my dog the attention she requires and understanding of her issues.
David was so great with our senior dogs! They have a lot of energy and can be a little tricky when it comes to eating while we’re away, but David was incredibly thoughtful and kind in making sure they were well cared for. He also made the meet-and-greet and key drop-off completely seamless. We really appreciated how easy and stress-free he made everything!
Lindsey is the best dog sitter/walker/caretaker ever!! My dog loves them so much and felt so comfortable. Arrived early and was super active with Nelly (playing, walking, willing to do longer drop-ins). Anyone would be lucky to have this kind of personalized care for their pet!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Middle Village choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
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.
