“Kimberly did drop in visits on our dogs while we were visiting the area. She did an excellent job and sent me pictures of my pups. She was kind enough to allow me to reschedule a visit when I had a migraine headache. I would use her again and I highly recommend her!”
“I am so grateful to have found Madison and Joseph to help care for my two dogs. They go above and beyond at each visit and it is such a relief to have someone take such wonderful care of my fur babies!”
“Jenilie did an incredible job with Mark! Her and her husband went above and beyond to take care of Mark especially when Mark was experiencing an upset stomach! They cleaned him up along with his kennel to ensure Mark had a clean space to rest in until we returned!”
“Iris was awesome to work with! She is very detail oriented in letting you know what is going on with your fur babies. She sent several messages and pictures throughout the day to keep me in the loop. I would definitely recommend booking with Iris!”
“Stevie took great care of our two cats while we were away! She was super nice, responsive, and communicative. We would definitely reach out to her again for future cat-sitting!”
“Aaron was absolutely fantastic! From our first meeting Dylan ("the cat") walked right over to meet him-- which he never does even with folks he's met before. I knew from that moment that Aaron was going to be great. Each day he sent me several photos of Dylan along with a report on his eating, hairballs (ewww), etc.and took the time to play with him. I can't recommend Aaron highly enough, except that I hope he will always have an opening in his schedule for Dylan & me.-- SAS, Newport, RI”
“Paige was awesome with Maggie. I wanted to know that my puppy was gonna be with someone who had a real connection with her, and this was definitely Paige! And yes I will be reserving her services again. Thanks!”
“Cheyauna exceeded expectations! She was so communicative, she handled my 5 yr old and my puppy with extreme care and specific to their needs, and she even went above and beyond to come before the trip to meet and play with them for comfort. Anything that we asked she did that and more. Now that we have used Cheyauna we honestly couldn’t imagine going with anyone else in the future. THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!”
“Wonderful pet-sitting experience! Our dog was well cared for, and the sitter was prompt, reliable, and very responsive. We felt completely comfortable knowing our pup was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”
“I was looking for some help with a very elderly kitty ~ so he really needs someone who can be very gentle with him, and at the same time very competent. Jessi is absolutely both. I would definitely call her again! Also, I had to search at the very last moment, which turned out to be no problem!”
About: I don't have any fancy certifications, just a true love for animals. I genuinely enjoy hanging out with pets and making sure they feel happy. I work full-time but I am available most days before 7:30 AM and after 4:30 PM, except for W & F. Let's coordinate a schedule that works! I'll visit your home everyday to feed your pets, refresh their water, take them for walks, and spend quality time playing and keeping them company.
About: I grew up taking care of dogs, cats, horses and more. I have had my own family dogs over the years, Trooper for 16 years and Rusty for 14 years. I have cared for friend's dogs, big and small, and my grand dogs for a day or even 1 month. I have experience with older dogs as well as puppies. I will do my best to maintain their schedules as well as training and discipline. I will treat them as my own with lots of love and affection, knowing they may miss their parents. I work from home so fitting pet care into my schedule is not an issue. I walked my own dogs every morning in the neighborhood or to the beach. Afternoon neighborhood walks or romps in the big backyard are often on the agenda. I have a single family, single story home with a fenced yard in a great neighborhood. I will treat your pet as my own, keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I love animals and will take great care of your fur baby.
About: I love pets and house keeping and would love to help you with yours! I take pride in offering thorough care to put you at ease when you go away. I look forward to working for you and your pets! I work a part time job that is extremely flexible and allows me to work from home, meaning I can look after your pets in the exact way you want! I can spend as little or as much time as you want with them! I want your pets to feel like they are on vacay with me! I keep to them on their same routine while also giving them a little extra care since you are away. That way they won't be too sad while you are gone.
About: I have grown up around dogs and have had 3 dogs. I am frequently asked to pet-sit and walk dogs by friends and neighbors. I have started taking clients in the past year, where I have no problem staying at their home to care for their pets! I have a part time job and I have flexible hours. My main priority is to be there for all of you and your pets needs! I have lots of experience with all types and behaviors of dogs. I also have two very friendly and social puppies who are great with people

Maddy and Joseph are absolutely 5- star sitters. They have lots of experience and it shows from their communication, attention to detail and care for our cat Oliver. Check ins were detailed with pictures and we knew Oliver was well taken care of. Highly recommend them!

I knew from that moment that Aaron was going to be great. Each day he sent me several photos of Dylan along with a report on his eating, hairballs (ewww), etc.and took the time to play with him.

Alison was phenomenal!! Our sweet kitty, Skye, loved her and warmed right up to her! Alison did exactly what we asked and was very reliable. She sent great pictures and stories while we were away. They kept us in touch with our little sweetie! We would book her again in a heartbeat!!😻
Stevie-Rae did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away. I felt 100% confident that they were well taken care of. She sent pictures each day to show that they warmed up to her even though they are very, very shy around people they don’t know. I highly recommend her to you.

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.

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.
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.
