I looked forward to seeing the photos of my sweet dog on his walks and I couldn’t believe my extremely shy cat made appearances for photos, too! We were relaxed on our vacation knowing our pets were well looked after. Thank you so very much, Anna!”
About: I have always loved animals and during my middle school years up until now (18) have been pet sitting and dog walking for family and friends. I am extremely experienced and have not only taken care of dogs and cats but also fish, rodents, and reptiles. I have owned guinea pigs and fish in the past and I currently have three lovely cats. I will be sure to leave you and your pet happy at the end of my service! My schedule is very open and flexible. I am also willing to wake up early for your pet if needed. I am often available on holidays and weekends as well. I spend time with the pet both indoors and outdoors to make sure that your pet gets their energy out while outside and the loving in while inside. I make sure to keep your pet safe and healthy while your out so you don't have to worry about your fur baby for a second.
“Great sitter. Took tons of photos of my kitties so I knew they were well. Followed instructions for daily visits. Connected it my friendly cat all the time and made progress with my shy girl. Will definitely use again.”
About: I grew up with German Shepard named Stormy. I loved taking her for long walks or playing in the yard. Throughout college and grad school, I did a lot of pet-sitting for others when they were on vacation. I finally got a dog of my own in my late twenties. Goose is a very lovable, yet lazy dog. We go for long walks but also love a good afternoon nap. I currently work full time. I am looking to do some dog walking on the weekends. Dogs are humans' best friends and should be treated as such. My dog is always my priority in my own routine. I hope that she is when others care for her. I will treat your dog the same. I am looking to be a dog-walker primarily. I love long walks. I am very kind and gentle with animals but also can handle a reactive dog if needed. I have experience with reactive and protective animals. I have only ever had larger dogs in my own home. I'm comfortable with any size dog and any personality type.
“Rayzel was fantastic for our five cats. She just really loves animals, so she spent a lot more time playing with them than we would have hoped for. She sent LOTS of updates and messages, and it was clear she understood the personality of each one. She was wonderful dealing with the one who needs medicine daily, and she got our extremely skittish one out of her shell. We recommend her very highly!”

“Kelsey watched our cat for a week while we were out of town. She was always on time, took great photos and took excellent care of “our boy.” An issue came up with our garage door opening on its own, and Kelsey quickly got in touch with us and manually closed the door. And she made sure our house was secure. She made us feel completely secure knowing our house and our cat were being taken care of. We would definitely use Kelsey’s services again.”

Kathryn is a wonderful pet sitter! She took wonderful care of our senior dogs while we were out of town, carefully following their feeding, water, and medication schedule. She was very reliable and kept us updated throughout our trip, even sending us the cutest pictures of our pups enjoying themselves! 🐾❤️ Knowing our dogs were happy, healthy, and so well cared for gave us complete peace of mind and allowed us to truly enjoy our trip. Kathryn is compassionate, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. We’re so grateful for the great care she gave our pups and would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Neda was AMAZING! Charley was well cared for, happy, and we truly appreciated the updates and extra attention. It’s a great feeling to find someone you can trust.

We highly recommend this amazing dog sitter and will definitely be using her services again!
Shannon did a great job taking care of our dog, Lucy!! It was our first time using Rover and I’m very glad it went so well. Shannon took her for lots of long walks and kept me updated on Lucy’s eating and bathroom habits. Would definitely recommend her and book again!

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 .

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.
