“Toryn is wonderful. We have booked several times. It’s such a relief not to worry about our pup while we’re away. Always great with communication, on time and friendly. Highly recommend!”
“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!”
“Jennifer was awesome with our dog, Missy. I have never left her with anyone besides family and Missy clicked with Jennifer right away. Love all the pics she sends. She was also very flexible as my schedule changed last minute.”
“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!”
“We were traveling to Mason in our motor home for the tennis open. We fiund Melissa on the Rover app and after a couple of text messages we set a time to meet and greet. Melissa was on time and one of the most personable sitters we have ever used. Our girl Sambuca was happy and took a liking to Melissa from the start. We felt very comfortable giving her access to our motor home and she was a God send for us knowing that Sambuca was well cared for. Melissa would walk her for a hour and make sure she had plenty of water. We cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone in the Mason, OH area. Thank you again, the Kings”
“I can’t thank you enough for the extra care given to Onyx over the last 10 days. Thanks for staying in contact and helping me understand what was going on while I was away. Thanks for checking the insulin dose with me when necessary. Thanks again for the extra care!”
“Melanie was great! She was very attentive to my three kitties. I’ve never left them alone for that long and Melanie made sure to give them lots of attention. She sent tons of pics/updates too. Would definitely recommend!”
“Karla has been caring for my very energetic dog Lucy for the last 1 1/2. I can’t say enough about her services, care and conscientiousness. She’s extremely dependable and just an all around good human. She comes with the highest of recommendations from me.”
About: I have multiple years experience working in a doggy daycare, kennel, and shelter environment. I don't have a dog of my own quite yet, but I am working towards obtaining a certification in dog training. I worked for 5 years at a kennel, and my work there ranged from being a part of the doggy daycare in the back to customer service up front. In my time there I have become fairly knowledgeable on dog behavior, body language, etc. I have been lucky enough to care for more dogs than I could ever count, with personalities to match! They all hold a special place in my heart, and any dog under my care is treated how I would want my own pet treated. I am also working towards a certification in dog training, please message me if you'd like to discuss. I focus on compassion and understanding to build a relationship with the dogs I meet. I am happy to move at their pace and respect their boundaries if they are on the shyer side, snuggle up on the couch, or go for an adventure at a nearby park- whatever your pup loves, I would love to be their new best friend! Pet care is always my top priority, both for my own and any pets I’m watching or caring for. I schedule my hours at work to be able to accommodate the animals I’m caring for. I tend to work mornings/ afternoons, and am able to stop in for a mid day potty break if needed. I do not care for pets in my own home, as my two cats are shy and take some time to adjust to new animals. But I dedicate myself to taking care of animals in their homes or if I have a dog out on a walk! I do my best to replicate the schedule and environment that pets are used to to keep them as comfortable as possible. I like to hear of any quirks that may be helpful in making your pet more comfortable.
“Kind to all my “kids” who were happy and content when I got home. This drop in is a bit extra with our special needs pup. Jen managed her needs beautifully. Thank you for the care and peace of mind.”
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.
“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: I have been a dog lover since I was a kid. I've dog sat (and cat sat) for friend's dogs of all breeds and sizes. Dogs really have always taken a liking to me. I started working with dogs at age 15 as a bather for a groomer. I've had dogs my entire life. I just love spending time with dogs! I work full time in the medical field and have 2 Goldendoodles. One standard and one mini. Both are rehome situations. I am available for your busy weekends of kids sports, Kings Island or little getaways! I am able to give your pets water, food, medicine. Play with them and put them in their crate, if needed. I can do a little bit of everything for them!
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.)
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Murdock
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.
