“Felicia did an amazing job with our cats! She made sure they were active and engaged everyday, and found their new favorite catTV channel. She even took extra care and consideration with our home and cleaned their cat spaces, going above and beyond to help out while we were gone. I'd highly recommend booking her for your pets and we'll be rebooking her soon! Thank you”
About: I have had dogs since I was a kid and have taken care of lots of other people's dogs. I recently retired early, so I have more time to hang out with more dogs! I am very fit, and I am comfortable walking little dogs and big dogs. I also have a fenced yard...which is great for doggy play dates! I am flexible nowadays. I can walk your dog (s) and/or take care of your animals when you are gone- feeding, walking, playing, and definitely loved on! Playdates are also welcome at my residence after meeting my dog so I can make sure they are compatible. I have a large fenced yard. My dog and I recently completed a dog training class. I can train basic obedience skills, such as not pulling on the leash. I really love dogs.....if I haven't said that already! The dogs I have owned were all well behaved. I took them everywhere: hikes, travel, camping, kayaking, etc.
“Rebecca checked in on time twice a day and took great care of Arlo. He likes to go outside on his leash and she sent me plenty of pics on their “walks.” Arlo loves his humans and I felt terrible leaving his at my mom’s house for three days but Rebecca was in touch with me all of the way and put me at ease. I highly recommend Rebecca!”
“Kayden always keeps in touch with me about the critters. I know I can count on him. I’m very happy with his communication and care of Ginger and River.”
“Jocelyn was amazing with our boy! Seriously went above and beyond for us! Great communication, such sweet pictures of them playing together, and she even spoiled him with his daily treats, some physical activity, and affection. I would love for her to come back any time.”

About: Hi there! 🐾 I’m an animal lover who truly believes pets are part of the family. I’m caring, patient, responsible, and will treat your pets with the same love and attention I’d want for my own. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, cuddles, medication, or simply some company while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I’ll take the time to learn your pet’s personality, routine, and individual needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re gone. I know how important it is to feel confident that your pets are in good hands, and I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy and well cared for.

About: I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have hands on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I had a cat growing up and have also pet sat for cats, including administering medication, feeding on a schedule, cleaning litter boxes, and making sure they felt comfortable and cared for while their owners were away. My family has always had dogs, and I lived with a large dog for a couple of years. During that time, I helped with daily walks, feeding, general care, and maintaining routines. I’m comfortable handling dogs of different sizes and energy levels, following specific instructions, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their own environment. I am attentive, patient, and very good at following care instructions exactly as provided. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m reliable with schedules and plan my days around commitments, which makes it easy for me to prioritize feeding times, walks, check-ins, and medication needs. I’m organized and responsive, so pets receive consistent care and attention rather than feeling rushed. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, so caring for them never feels like a chore. I treat pets and homes with the same respect and care I would want for my own. I follow all instructions carefully, keep routines consistent, and pay close attention to each pet’s comfort and safety. I make sure food and water areas are clean, litter boxes and outdoor areas are maintained, and pets receive the attention they need. In clients’ homes, I’m clean and respectful. I keep spaces tidy, lock up properly, and communicate clearly with updates so owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.
“I usually have family or friends check in on my cat, but somehow our vacations all aligned this summer. I was nervous to have someone I didn’t know help—but from the first meeting with Autumn I felt comfortable. She was warm, cheerful, competent, and helpful with suggestions/reassurances for someone like me who hadn’t used a true sitter before. After talking with her I felt relieved that she’d be coming by, and I continued to feel so with her great, consistent, detailed text updates and pics (she also kept my plants alive during a heat wave!). Autumn was fabulous and I’m so thankful to have found her. Should I need a sitter again, she’d be my first choice. Thank you so much! ?☺️?”
“Michelle was the best! I just moved to the area and needed someone quickly to watch my dog for a weekend. Michelle put me at ease completely. She was very communicative, sent great updates and photos, and was always on time. Thank you, Michelle!”
About: Check us out on instagram: ks_doggy_daycare My wife Jamie and I have had dogs all our lives! And love to be able to give other doggos a safe fun place to run and stay when their parents are away! We have a large fully fenced back yard to run and play, Jamie stays home with our toddler daughter and has dog daycare and dog boarding dogs so they are rarely alone and always another dog here to play as well!
About: I have availability 24/7 to care! Even as a kid, I’m the one who spent the most time with our pets! Will follow your example instructions just how you want! I’m currently not working, so I have all the time to take care of your pet. No schedule conflicts, so you don’t have to worry :) I have a small place, without much to do outside. But there’s a park less than 3 minutes away for walks. There are stairs to my place as I live on the second floor
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Minnehaha
Ana is truly wonderful. She immediately presents with a calm friendly trustworthy manner. I sought her out for her medical training for help and suggestions with a cat that needs injections. It was hard to filter that out in search paarmeters but I really lucked out coming across Ana. She was very sweet with my dog and two cats and listened empathically to each of my pets needs and requirements. I look forward to working with her further on. I travel a lot and my pets needs are particular, I don't trust many with my pets, especially my dog. I feel confident my pets will be safe and well cared for with her.
Emily was great! She was really on top of everything in the app and was very communicative and responsive throughout. I felt completely comfortable entrusting her with Lola’s care, which gave me such peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely use her again!
Claire is an absolutely wonderful cat sitter! She takes such thoughtful and attentive care of my two cats, and I always feel completely at ease knowing they’re with her. Her Rover cards are incredibly thorough, with detailed updates and photos that make me feel like I know exactly how they’re doing while I’m away. It’s clear that she genuinely cares about them and goes above and beyond to make sure they’re happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I’m so grateful to have found someone I trust with my cats and would wholeheartedly recommend Claire to anyone looking for an exceptional sitter!
Mark just watched our kitty while we were on a camping trip. Cali needs medicine twice a day. Mark made sure she got her Rx, food, water and lots of loves. Cali is very shy and hides from new people. It was so nice to see photos each day of Cali getting pets and looking happy. Mark also left notes about how things went each day. It really allowed us to relax and enjoy our trip. Thank you so much, Mark for going above and beyond for us and for Cali. 💜

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
