“Patty was great with our older dog. She came for a meet and greet to learn all about Daisy. She messaged with any concerns during our time away. We would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. Currently own a cat and since moving have always wanted a dog but travel a lot. I work from home and have a very flexible schedule to check in on your pets. I’m excited to meet them and get to know them! I have a cat well loved and taken care of. He gets all the most attention especially as my wife and I work from him.
“Zoey has been doing weekly drop in visits for our 2 German Shepherd’s, one being a puppy! Her communication is wonderful and we are SO thankful we have found someone we can trust to help with our babies 🥹 you will not regret using Zoey!”
About: I've owned and cared for pets since I was in middle school. I own a lovable and silly orange tabby cat who lives with me and my wife in our apartment. I currently help my parents take care of their 2 labradors; one chocolate and one yellow, while they are at work during the week. I'd like to offer the same service and love to your furry friends. I am generally available every day of the week, except on a Sunday. If needed badly, I can do Sundays, but only 1pm or after. I make it a point to follow instructions very carefully in order that your pet gets everything they need and deserve. (medications, walks, vet visits[if necessary], etc.)
“Teresa was awesome with my new puppy! She was very kind, punctual, and communicative pre and post visit, which I appreciated a lot. She made me feel at ease after meeting her via FaceTime before the visit. I hope to book again in the future.”
“Paige was absolutely amazing with my two kittens while I was away on vacation. She kept me updated, made sure they were well cared for, and genuinely treated them like her own. What really stood out to me was how attentive she was she noticed right away that one of my kittens wasn’t feeling well and immediately let me know so I could get her to the vet. I’m so grateful for her care, communication, and attention to detail. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing my pets were in such good hands. I would highly recommend Paige to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter!”
“Julie did great at looking after our cat. She was polite, responsive, respectful and kind from the start. Fred the cat took to her straight away. We’re really grateful for Julie’s help and will use her again.”
About: Hello! My name is Melissa, and I have spent my entire life surrounded by cats and dogs. I provide patient, dedicated, and specialized pet care tailored to your animal's unique personality and needs. I have extensive hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of dogs, including: • High-energy breeds that need structured exercise and mental stimulation. • Bully breeds and small dogs of all temperaments. • Reactive pups who require extra patience, careful handling, and a calm environment. I understand that every pet has a different comfort level, and I prioritize a gentle, positive approach to make them feel safe and happy. If you are looking for a highly capable, reliable, and patient caregiver who truly understands dog behavior, look no further! I can't wait to meet your furry family members. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am off all major holidays to help with pet needs. I live on the East side of Cincinnati near bike paths and trails. I look forward to providing for your pets needs. Safety is my absolute top priority, and I am proud to offer a secure, low-stress environment where your pet can truly thrive. My home features a fully fenced-in yard situated on a beautiful two-acre property, providing the perfect secure setup for play, exploration, and extra-long, peaceful walks on a leash. Because I understand that every pet moves at their own pace—especially high-energy or reactive animals—I practice complete patience and exclusively use positive reinforcement methods to build a solid foundation of genuine trust. You can look forward to seamless, proactive communication throughout your pet's stay, including regular updates and plenty of photos, ensuring you have total peace of mind knowing they are safe, respected, and loved like family.
About: I’ve been handling pets for many many years, have a lot of love to give, knowledge to share, and care to give to your pet, if you need someone reliable to handle your pet while your vacation, or away from home I’m your guy! I work full time, but in the weekends and I am on the weekends at any time and on weekdays I can be available after 7pm-8:30pm I have one small dog, and care for him day in and day out, making sure he always has toys, is entertained, and has a healthy feeding/bathroom schedule. Can provide the same loving care for You pet as well!
“Cailie is a cat whisperer! Seriously. One of our cats can be a bit standoffish, but he warmed up to Cailie right away. And she was very flexible when we had a sudden schedule change. I will definitely rebook with her! Cat Mom”
About: I have been helping to care for dogs since I was 10. I grew up with golden retrievers in the home and have been around dogs my entire life. Our Rottweiler recently passed away and my daughter and her were best friends! I am not ready to have a dog back in the house full time but have realized, after dog sitting for a friends puppy, this would be a great way to help care for others pets. I work from home so I am able to take frequent breaks for walks and potty breaks. I would not make myself available to care for anyone’s pets if I knew I was going to be out of the house for long periods of time. I also have a dog park in my neighborhood. I do not have a large yard, however; I do have a dog park in my neighborhood that is large and fenced in for great exercise. We would take frequent walks with my daughter around the neighborhood as well.
“Susan has been incredible helping us with our new puppy. She is timely and detailed. She really cares about your puppy and has been critical in our ability to care for our puppy.”
“Sophia was great! She took amazing care of our dogs and kept us updated while we were away. We felt completely comfortable knowing they were in good hands. We’d definitely book with her again!”
“Jenna was a wonderful cat sitter. She took great care of my kitties. She alerted me that there were ants near the cat food and followed my directions to remedy the situation. She used common sense and actually did more than I had asked her to do about the ants. By the time I got home Sunday they were gone.”

Robiya was absolutely incredible with my cat! She took such amazing care of Kulfi, and he warmed up to her so quickly. She sent so many adorable photos and detailed updates while I was traveling, which completely put me at ease. Kulfi has a pretty complicated feeding routine, but Robiya followed it perfectly and gave me total peace of mind. I am already planning to book her again every time I travel. Thank you so much, Robiya!
Thanks for helping me out. Now I feel better about going out of town knowing my cats are well cared for and fed daily. If you are available for doing this again in the next 2-3 months please let me know. Next time we don't have to pay the web site. I tried to tip you, but the additional booking we added on for Saturday came up and screwed up the order of everything so I will try to get back to that page.

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.
