“We have only had our initial meeting and introduced the dogs and their routine. I have no doubt that Shoshanna will be amazing. She seems very organized and detail oriented.”
About: I have grown up with animals, and have been pet sitting for friends for years. I have experience with all different kinds of animals as well as all different personalities! I have experience giving topical & oral medications to dogs and cats as well. I currently work five days a week, but I have no problem feeding/walking your pets in the morning and as soon as I get off! I am able to stop by for check-ins or walks, and I am also willing to house sit as well! I am very observant when it comes to pet watching and your animals will be carefully watched over!
“Shelley was great! She came over ahead of time for a meet & greet, was communicative before and during the drop-in, and sent pictures and updates which let me know our pup was in great hands. Will use Shelley again!”
“Megan was absolutely wonderful! Her communication was exceptional.. which is so, so important to me! She would send pictures everyday as well. I couldn’t be happier with the service provided and will absolutely use her again! Huge thank you to her!”
“Jason was awesome! He made sure that Tank got everything he needed, yet Jason was patient with me during my bereavement at the funeral I attended. First time was a success and I wish nothing for the best for the next client in working with Jason because a he’s sweet,caring,and phenomenal??”
“I am beyond blessed to have found Andre B. to care for my dogs when I travel. She did an exceptional job caring for them, provided updates with each visit and 10 or more photos each time. Thank you so much Andrea B. for such care of my pups.”
“Laurie is the best! She helped me out when I had a very last minute drop in visit request. She was so accommodating and my pup loved her! Highly recommend her for your fur babies.”
“Lisa is great! She did drop-in visits for our dog, Loui, while we were out of town over the weekend, and I have no complaints. She was on time for each scheduled visit, shared plenty of photos, and communicated how Loui was doing with enough details so that we had no worries about him at home! When we need pet-care for future travels I will be reaching out again for sure, thank you so much, Lisa!”
“Jessie is amazing, loves animals, reliable, and a great communicator! She is very good with our German shepherd and our dog loves her. Our dog is excited to see her each time we book Jessie. They go on walks, run around, and play frisbee.”
“You’ll never find a better pet sitter than Cathy!! She always showed up on time and loved every second with our boy! Shadow loved her and she always gave us the best pictures of him while we were away!❤️”
About: I have been taking care of dogs, in my household and for family friends. About ten years ago I started watching dogs and cats in high school for people who used the same vets office as I did. I have done overnight stays, walks, drop ins, and taken them to veterinary appointments. I have a senior dog at home and have taken him through puppy, intermediate and advanced training. As I mentioned, he is in his senior years so I spend a large majority of my time taking him for short walks in the cooler mornings and making sure he has the best senior years possible. :) I work from home and have a flexible schedule, so pet care is the majority of my daily and weekly routine. Outside play and walking are how I spend my mornings, and when it starts to heat up I focus on preparing treats and that stimulate the pets minds and keep them entertained without over heating. In the cooler weather if the dogs like to be outside we take longer walks or soak in the sun like my senior pup. Depending on the clients home, I am fine with crating them to be safe and make sure they are not getting into things in between drop ins. I have extensive leash training for dogs so walking will not be an issue. If there is a fenced yard I am happy to play games with them and run around.
“Marine was wonderful. She kept us updated with videos and pictures and even took care of the stray cats I care for ❤️ we came home to very happy cats and a super clean home. She is my go-to cat sitter and I highly recommend her.”
“Janet took care of our cat when we were out of town for the week and made sure he was well taken care of. She listened to my requests like letting him outside on the screened-in balcony and sending pictures each visit. Both my cat and I would book her again!”
About: I really enjoy pets I’ve had my own in the past unfortunately was sick had to let him go and now I have been dropping in on a friends pets when she’s out of town for the past few years I am currently a stay at home mom so I have plenty of time on my hands to take care of your fur baby or babies I will treat your home and fur baby or babies as if they were my own. I will respect your wants and wishes without judgement
About: As a dog mom to a senior pup, I understand that great pet care is about much more than walks and belly rubs! I have firsthand experience caring for an older dog, including administering medication, keeping consistent feeding and medication schedules, adjusting activity to his energy level, and paying attention to the little changes that can matter as dogs age. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet with someone else, so I’ll care for your pet the way I’d want someone to care for mine—with patience, affection, attention, and respect for their individual routine and personality. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and happy to follow your pet’s normal schedule, whether that includes medication, special feeding instructions, leisurely senior walks, playtime, or plenty of cuddles. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and check-ins so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and very well loved. I work full time during the week, but I’m happy to make time for your furry family members! I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and for house sitting Friday through Sunday evening. For drop-ins, I’m happy to do more than just stop by and refill a bowl. We can go for a walk, get some fresh air and playtime, visit a favorite dog park, or stick to whatever routine your pup already knows and loves. My goal is to keep things as familiar, comfortable, and fun as possible while you’re away. Dog walks: 30 minutes 20–25 minutes of actual walking, with the remaining time for getting the dog ready, water, wiping paws if needed, and getting them settled. For senior dogs, puppies, very small dogs, or dogs with health/mobility limitations, the walk itself might be shorter as I will adjust pace and distance to the dog's age, energy and routine. Drop-ins: 30 minutes - Potty break - Fresh water and feeding, if scheduled - Medication administration when needed and instructions are provided - Playtime, cuddles, or companionship depending on the dog's personality - Basic cleanup of pet-related messes - Bringing in a package/mail or adjusting lights if the owner asks - A photo + short Rover update after every visit I live in a cozy apartment where pets are treated like family. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m situated close to a park that’s perfect for walks and playtime. Inside, there’s plenty of room for relaxing, roaming, and cuddles. I also have a balcony in case your pet enjoys sunbathing - one of my dog's favorite activities.
“Kaitlynn always did such a great job with my 2 cats. They can be shy but they warmed right up to Kaitlynn, who was able to capture several great pictures that I thoroughly enjoyed. If I still lived anywhere close to Memphis, I'd choose Kaitlynn again!”
About: Dogs have always been an important part of my life. I have 3 family dogs and caring for them comes naturally to me. I have experience with puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I'm comfortable handling a variety of temperaments and energy levels. I enjoy spending time outdoors, going on walks, and making sure each dog gets the attention, exercise, and affection they need. I treat every pet as if they were my own and strive to create a safe, loving environment where they can feel happy and secure. I currently work a part time job, but other than that I have plenty of time to make sure your pets are well taken care of I have experience caring for pets through dog walking and pet sitting. My responsibilities included feeding, providing fresh water, walking dogs, cleaning up after pets, administering medications when instructed, and ensuring they were safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners were away. I also followed each owner's care instructions, maintained reliable communication, and treated every pet with patience and compassion.
About: I have trained my dog, that is now 6 years old. I potty trained him and taught him all the tricks he knows when I first got him. I am a student at Wofford College. I have classes, workouts, and homework but I still have time on my hands for taking care of animals. At home, I feed, walk, play, and take my dog on trips in the car. In the past, when I have dog sat, I would walk, feed, and play with the dogs.

Lauren was great with my pups! She was able to help me out super last minute and for that I couldn’t be more thankful! Highly recommend her! Will be using her again in the future! She took pics which made everything so much better and you could tell she truly loves puppies!
As a very protective guardian of my dog, Athena normally does not warm up to new people. She is kind and sweet but rarely lets someone unknown to even pet her. Elizabeth somehow defied this expectation. Within a short time, she built a deep trust with Athena, and the results are astounding. Quite impressive.

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.

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 use the 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.
