“Brianna was an awesome cat sitter! She sent photos and updates everyday. My cats love her. Even my very shy cat, who normally hides from everyone but me, came out to say hi to her!”
“We are so happy we booked with Kerry! It was wonderful getting to meet her during our meet and greet, and we felt comfortable leaving our Labrador Retriever, Enzo, in her care. My husband and I were away for two days, and Kerry provided drop-in visits that included walks, feeding, playtime in the backyard, fresh water, and lots of great company for Enzo while we were away. She was so attentive and responsive throughout our time away and kept us updated with plenty of photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. We could tell Enzo was happy and well cared for, and we truly appreciated how thoughtful and reliable Kerry was. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets like their own! 🐾❤️”
About: Animal care is a big part of my life — I have four pets including a pit-bull, two lab mixes and a cat of my own, plus a year of experience walking and house sitting dogs and cats through my partner's pet care business. I treat every pet like my own, and your animal's safety and comfort always come first. I have just recently left my full time teaching job, so I can now give my full time, attention and effort into your furry family I care for pets by sticking to their normal routine — feeding, water, and exercise on schedule. Since I don't watch dogs at my own home, visits happen at the client's house, whether that's a drop-in, walk, or house sitting. I do a quick safety check, send photo updates, and leave things just as I found them.
“Jennifer was communicative and accommodating with her meet and greets and drop-in visits. She was kind enough to bring in our mail and packages, and sent some pics every night. It was much appreciated and helped ease the anxiety of leaving our cats at home.”
“Cheryl took great care of my two cats while I was on a two week vacation. She handled food, water, treats, litter, and play just right. From the meet and greet, I could tell she has a sweet and gentle touch and really understands how to relate to cats. Her thorough updates including photos kept me confident that they were in good hands.”
About: I've taken care of dogs from puppy to elderly with routine daily walk and looking after post surgery dogs to recovery. Comfortable with dogs of any size I work from home, so your pup will get all the attention, love, and care they need throughout the day. Whether it’s playtime, belly rubs, or just keeping them company, they’ll never feel alone! Live in a house lots of walk and lots of love, I don't have a fence will take care of one dog at the time 🐶
“USophia was absolutely wonderful! She took such great care of our dog while we were away for the weekend and truly went above and beyond. We had her scheduled for three drop-in visits each day, and she was always on time and often stayed even longer than expected to spend extra time with our dog, which meant so much to us. Her communication was excellent throughout the entire weekend. She sent us lots of photos and updates at every visit, so we were able to see how our dog was doing and felt completely at ease while we were away. Sophia was incredibly kind, attentive, reliable, and clearly genuinely cares about the animals she watches. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would absolutely trust Sophia with our dog again. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable and caring. We will definitely be booking with her again! ❤️”
About: Always had dogs & cats as a kid. Always loved it too! I worked with them for years and years and got a good overall feel/sense for various types and breeds, situations etc. I started taking care of neighbors pets, then friends too, and once Covid shut down our family stores, it gave me a chance to continue doing what I love, working with animals! I especially enjoy the challenge of winning over dogs that are timid, uncomfortable, anxious, have been abused, etc. I love proving to them that they're Safe. Everythings alright. Its ok to relax. Some are nervous around me or arent great with adults/males/strangers etc. That's Ok! Please see my reviews, Thanks for your consideration! My day totally revolves around my clients. They come First! Depending on what care I have to give to each animal. I'm around all the time otherwise! I take countless precautions to assure the safety of anyone and everyone that will be involved in my care for my clients. I keep an eye on them all day and night!
“Marcella did a great job with my two cats - one is easy, but my Cole can be a handful. She was patient with him and I think she actually won him over! She brought string and played with him to earn his trust. Thank you Marcella - great job!”
About: I have been a dog lover my entire life. Family friends and people in my neighborhood would consider me very reliable!! We recently adopted our own puppy Morta(della) who loves to be with other dogs. I am excited to chat with you and your furry friend(: I currently work from home so I am available all the time during the day and week. This means your pet will always have somebody with them! I want animals to feel comfortable and safe in my home so they are allowed on the furniture and in beds. I have a fenced in park right behind me that is great for an afternoon game of fetch!
“We used to find a neighborhood youth to take care of our outdoor cat when we went away. Our cat is now older and needs transdermal medication applied to his ears twice a day - so 14 visits. It was time to find a reliable adult. Through Rover we connected with Jill who lives nearby and has her own senior cat. We could not be more satisfied with the care she provided. The daily notification of visits with photos were much appreciated - although they did make me miss my pet more. Thank you Jill!”
“Kiley was great! She was understanding that our kitty is extremely shy and kept us updated while we were away. She even accommodated an extra drop in on extremely short notice. I definitely recommend her!!”
About: We’re a dog-loving family with a deep passion for animals and a long history of caring for them. My journey with pets began in childhood, and I’ve proudly passed that love on to my own kids. While serving in Korea, I rescued a dog and a cat and brought them home to live out their lives in comfort and love — a decision that shaped our family’s commitment to animal welfare. For 17 wonderful years, we shared our lives with a mixed-breed dog and her two feline best friends. Their companionship taught us patience, empathy, and the joy of unconditional love. Today, our home is filled with laughter and fur thanks to our playful Alaskan Malamute, who is thoroughly spoiled and adored. Caring for pets isn’t just something we do — it’s part of who we are. As a retired Army veteran with over 20 years of dedicated service, I bring reliability, discipline, and a deep sense of responsibility to everything I do — including caring for your pets. I currently work part-time, which gives me the flexibility to offer pet-sitting services on weekends and weekdays with advance notice. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just keeping your furry friend company, I’m here to help ensure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. I have a secure fenced yard and a playful three-year-old female Alaskan Malamute who absolutely loves company. We enjoy daily walks around our quiet neighborhood and often head to a nearby park just a couple of minutes away — it’s her favorite place to explore and stretch her legs. She’s friendly, energetic, and always excited to meet new furry friends!
“Olivia was wonderful. She was very responsive when I reached out to her. She punctual and sent me a cute video of my dog Lucy. She even washed Lucy’s food bowl! I will definitely have Olivia back to visit!”

Brianna is awesome! She watched my cat for 4 days while I was out of town. She did all the usual cat care things as well as giving the cat her meds each morning. She also brought in our trash bins the first evening we were gone, which was so helpful! And the cat was comfortable with her pretty immediately, which is always a great sign. I would feel very comfortable leaving Wendy in her care again.

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.

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.

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 .
