“Kayleigh is amazing! This was our first time using Rover and couldn't be happier with the diligence and care Kayleigh demonstrated with our 2 cats. She spent quality time caring and playing with them and went above and beyond helping while we were away. She was so patient and worked with them to gain their trust and feel comfortable. I would hire Kayleigh in heart beat and look forward to future visits for our 2 kitties!”
“Ella was great — she was able to help us out on very short notice, was a great communicator, sent great updates, and most importantly was great with Koda!! We will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future”
“Makinzie was amazing!! She was able to help us last minute which was extremely helpful. She sent lots of photos and her communication was great. She even went out of her way to clean up after our dogs and bring a package in for us. Definitely will be using her again!”
“Brynn once again rocked responsible and caring drop-in puppy sitting for my sheltie, Bailey. Can’t thank her enough for working in my last minute scheduling, with my mom’s weekend health emergency. I definitely recommend her 110%!”
“We are glad we found Tristan, he is very nice, but most importantly he is very good with our pups, he made them feel very comfortable from the day we did our meet and greet, i knew right away i wont have to worry about our pups while we were away, Tristan took very good care of our pups and we would definitely use him again.”
“Morgan is great! I needed a sitter for my anxious and sometimes aggressive cat. It was last minute and Morgan accepted my request. Highly recommend her, and hoping to get to use her again.”
“Valerie cared for our two larger dogs while we were on vacation. She is terrific and I would recommend her to anyone. She really cares about maintaining the pets routine and making them happy. She follows any instructions you provide, shows up on time and is highly communicative. Our dogs are high energy and need structure which she easily handled. She put our minds at ease with her professionalism and love of animals.”
“2nd time booking with Natalie she's a great and consistent pet sitter! Communicates very well and will send you cute pictures of your pet throughout her care. I would 100% book with her again in the future.”
“I am so happy that I chose Grace to take care of Puck. He is 14, blind and quite shy, used to being with just me. I could tell from the pictures that Grace made friends quickly with him and provided lots of cuddles and “pets”. I will definitely book her again as she is a 10 out of 10!! Thanks Grace.”
About: I grew up with dogs and while my current situation isn't conducive to owning, dogsitting and walking suffice the immediate urge. I grew up with St. Bernards, so I can handle dogs of all sizes. My schedule will be very open, but I enjoy waking up early and going on walks, so if that is something that you are looking for I would gladly volunteer my services. I am very active and am ready to tire out your dog in the yard or on a run when necessary. Looking forward to spending time with your dog! I'm taking some time in between jobs, so my days are wide open, but I play soccer in the evenings very regularly, so that is the only part of the day where I may have limitations. I am not able to offer boarding given my apartment restrictions, but I can assure you I will treat your home with care and respect.
About: I have taken care of dogs for the last 15 years, including being a dog mom for 10 years until my 2 best friends went over the rainbow bridge in 2025 and beginning of 2026. Currently I do not have any pets and will enjoy the opportunity to share my love of dogs with your furry family members. I currently work from home and will be able to do long walks in the morning, mid-day and evening. I can also let them out multiple times throughout the day depending on schedule needs. I have a fully fenced in large yard and easy walking paths nearby. I do have a crate it needed, otherwise your dogs will spend time on the couch and bed, all furniture is dog friendly.
“Tim is an absolute delight. Flexible and easy to work with. I was impressed at the meet and greet that he was completely unfazed when my little dogs were snarly and scared. He was so good with them and they both warmed up to him quickly. Having had other bad sitter experiences, I felt so at ease during my trip knowing that we had someone reliable giving our two dogs and two cats lots of love and attention. Can’t recommend him enough. He’ll take great care of your babies.”
“Skylar did a fantastic job taking care of my two cats while I was away for 2 weeks on business. My cats warmed up to her quickly. The care was complicated by some medical issues with my cats, and the fact that I had just recently moved to a new place, but she handled everything fantastically and kept the cats happy and healthy”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs my whole life so I’m very familiar with the care and attention they need everyday. I’ve been professionally dog sitting for two years now and have experience with both younger and older dogs. I like to think that I’m giving your dog a little vacation of their own while you’re away, and will do my very best to help them feel cared for and secure during that time. I work from home so I have a pretty flexible schedule during the week! I’m happy to walk/tend to your dog during the week for short periods of time. I have more time on the weekends to dog sit as needed! I’m also available for shorter house sitting stays, ideally 2–3 nights. I’ll care for your dog(s) like I would my own while looking after them. I’m very tentative and look/listen for their signals to know if they need to go out or just want some attention. I always make sure if there’s been a mess to clean it right away and cover/block off the area for a bit so your pet won’t try to lick up any chemicals. I also make sure that their collar/leash is on securely before taking them out for a walk to prevent any incidents from occurring.

Jetzy took excellent care of my cat, Zigzag, while I was away on vacation. She came every day at the designated time and fed Zigzag, scooped his litter, changed his water, and played with him. Each day, Jetzy sent very cute pictures with updates on how Zigzag was doing. Although I was a little delayed getting back home, Jetzy was very flexible with the time to meet me for returning the keys. She is very pleasant and reliable. I highly recommend Jetzy as a pet sitter. She is fantastic!
Thanks to Lindsay for being there for our pup. On an away trip, Lindsay went above and beyond (truly) for our dog. An alarm went off in our home - our dog is terrified of beeping - and Lindsay found where the beeping was coming from and assisted in turning it off and ensuring our home and dog were safe. In addition to great care, Lindsay compiled helpful reports and much needed pictures of our dog while we were away. Thanks again for watching him. 10/10
She was great with my pups! She was always punctual, followed all of my instructions carefully, and made sure everything that needed to be done was taken care of. Most importantly, she was kind and attentive with the dogs, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. She was reliable and easy to work with, and I would definitely hire her again in the future. Highly recommend!
Brianna took great care of my cat Finley. She followed his feeding instructions and made sure to give him his daily treats in his activity feeders. She went the extra mile and cleaned up a throw-up on the rug, which was much appreciated! 😉 I would definitely recommend her!
Bri is amazing! She is dependable, reliable, always on time, and my cat absolutely loves her! You can truly tell how much she loves animals. She kept me updated throughout the week with messages and adorable pictures, and spent so much tine playing with him. She made sure he was fed and well cared for, and everything was clean and in order when we returned. I highly recommend Bri—you and your pets will be so happy you found the perfect pet sitter!
Makinzie was amazing!! She was able to help us last minute which was extremely helpful. She sent lots of photos and her communication was great. She even went out of her way to clean up after our dogs and bring a package in for us. Definitely will be using her again!

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.
