“Sarah was so accommodating for a last minute request. She took great photos and you can tell she truly loves working with animals. We will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend!”
“Dina was great! We asked her to come over to help us train our pups with greetings because they are normally very shy, but they both took to her immediately. She's clearly a dog person, and our dogs knew it! Thanks again, Dina!”
“Excellent communication regarding my elderly, disabled dog, so that I knew exactly how she was doing throughout the day. I felt Angelee genuinely cared about her, and erased all stress on both sides with her gentle, thoughtful care.”
“Kara always takes fantastic care of our cat anytime we are away. She writes great summaries and takes awesome photos that make us feel much more comfortable while away from home!”
“Olivia was great. She gave the pups all the lovings while I was away. She sent pics and was great at communicating. The pups loved her. Will definitely use again!”
“Taylor did a fantastic job with our small dog Percy! Percy can be very territorial and slow to warm up to people but she was able to win him over and become friends with him while we were away. She is kind, super responsive and you can count on her to do a great job with your pet. I highly recommend Taylor!”
“Dax was great with Max. Max took right to him and Dax took great care of my little guy. I highly recommend him for dog walks and sitter services. We have already booked him again for the next need. Thank you so much Dax for taking care of Max.”
“Catherine is the best! She takes the cutest pictures of my cats, gives me thorough updates, and goes above and beyond every time. I will always rebook her when I can!”
“Addelynn was great watching my cats, and would definitely recommend her! Super easy communication to schedule and coordinate keys with her. She took care of both my cats & sent updates and photos for my peace of mind while I was away. It seems like she already became close friends with my cat Ricky who was purring in her lap after only 2 visits, which makes having to be away even easier <3”
“This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky that Morgan visited my puppy. She was very nice, on time, and took great care of my puppy. She also cleaned up his mess, which I really appreciated. Thank you for everything!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have also volunteered at animal shelters for several years. As a freshman at the University of Kentucky, I’m excited to continue spending time caring for and getting to know new pets! I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities, and I’m committed to making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care in between classes, after class, and on weekends. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or simply keeping your pet company, I’m excited to make caring for animals a regular part of my week again! I care for every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I’ll follow clients’ instructions, maintain their pet’s normal routine, provide food and water, and make time for exercise, play, and plenty of attention. I understand that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, needs, and preferences to make sure they feel happy and at ease!
About: I’ve had a dog in my house for as long as I can remember! They are so important and I want to be able to help you when you are busy. I will care for them and make sure they feel loved. I am great at managing my schedules. I have been an athlete in college all four years so I have great experience with time management! I will make sure they are taken care of whether that is in a fenced in backyard or on a leash. I will follow your instructions and do everything I can!
“Tiffany was great in looking after our boy-cats. The photos were great. We appreciated her communication, daily updates and her overall work quality. Highly recommended.”
About: I have grown up around dogs and have plenty of hands-on experience caring for them. Growing up, I worked for a dog breeder, which gave me experience caring for dogs of different ages, personalities, and needs. I have also pet sat for multiple family friends over the years, providing reliable care while their owners were away. I have a dog of my own at home, so I understand how important it is to have someone you trust caring for your pet. As a UK nursing student, I am responsible, attentive, and compassionate, and I would love to give your pets the same care and attention I give my own! I am currently a nursing student, with classes on Mondays and Tuesdays, as well as clinical on Wednesdays. I am free Tuesday mornings before 10:45 am, and any time Thursdays and Fridays. Also can be available some Wednesday afternoons. Kind of just depends but am always willing to work something out when I do not have class or clincal. I will follow any guidelines you have for your pets. Whatever way you like for them to use the restroom (just in yard or from walks) or can also feed if needed. Will do tasks if instructions are given.

“Amber was fantastic! She was very communicative while watching our cats and sent some incredible photos every time she visited. Our cats got all of the care we could hope for and we will definitely have amber care for our cats again!”

Ava is equally responsible and communicative. Most weeks I work an unpredictable schedule, so it is important for me that I seek sitters who are consistent; Ava is. On short notice, she made time to meet Isla before her check-in. We feel lucky we found her and I am certain other clients will as well.
Anna is such a conscientious pet sitter. She is prompt, communicates well, and cares about my dog. Oliver threw up while she was visiting, and she reached out immediately and didn't leave until I could get home. I appreciate her knowledge of the potential issues and willingness to do what was best for him.
Angelee always takes such great care of our cat, Nico. We really appreciate her extra attention to following detailed instructions perfectly and communication of updates to make us more relaxed while we are away. We have booked her many times and hope to again in the future!

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.

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.
