“Min did an incredible job taking care of our pets and home while we were out of town. She was so sweet to them and earned their trust. We loved seeing the videos and photos each day so we had peace of mind and knew our fur babies were in great hands. We will definitely be rebooking with her the next time we go out of town.”
“Zolia was wonderful with Little Girl (10 yr old cat). Eating area and litter box were clean. Zolia also checked on the pool and watered the patio plants. Highly recommend her.”
“Eloise did an AMAZING job caring for our dogs! She communicated well and frequently, especially when she had a question or concern for one of the dogs. The best thing was her cute notes written at each check-in. My kids and I looked forward to reading them and seeing all the pictures. Eloise was always on time, which we really appreciated! We will definitely use Eloise again!”
“Lindsey is the best, hands down! She gave very detailed update and spent a lot of time loving on my dog. Unfortunately, she had to clean up several potty messes and brought her own cleaning supplies and left a paper towel roll for me since I was out at home. Lindsey is absolutely the best rover sitter I’ve experienced and I will book again. Thank you so much!”
“Ashley was great with our pets. She sent pictures all the time and kept me updated with how they were doing. She gave insulin shots to my diabetic dog and was consistent with the times she came. It’s hard to find someone that can give insulin shots, so I’m very glad to have found her.”
About: I have taken care of different types of dogs through out the past years. Small and large. Energetic and calm. Old and young. I’ve watch over Schnauzers, Australia Shepherds, French Bulldogs, Shiba Inu, Doberman and many mixes.. Needless to say I’m willing to watch any dog! I can also say there has never been any accidents that have occurred to a dog under my watch. I do not like having animals caged up for long so they will be free to roam when under my supervision. Furthermore, I love the outdoors so the doggos will have a nice pleasant walk with me visiting all the nearby parks when able. I also love cats so all of this applies to them as well. =) *Hablo Español* *Price is negotiable for stays longer than 14 days* I am a full time IT employee. Although during the week I will be out for 8-9 hours I do live close enough that I can drive to my apartment and give the dogs a potty break during my lunch break. I also have cameras at home so I will still be keeping an eye on them while I'm out! I am quite active so the dogs will always get plenty of exercise. If they can keep up that is. If you know your dog cannot be left alone without causing chaos I would appreciate if you bring their crate. **Please give me at least 1 week in advance for appointments. Although my schedule is often up to date. I too take vacations and have to go out of town on emergencies. Last minute request will be considered but likeliness is low. I am a true animal lover so I will put the pets wellbeing first. I do not plan on leaving animals in a crate for longer than a couple hours if necessary. I am an active person so long walks will be something the dogs will get. Unless they cannot keep up. I really like playing rope and catch with dogs so they will get plenty of play time. =)
About: My family and I have always cared for animals. I’ve raised cats, dogs, and bunnies who all lived in home. I’ve fostered shelter dogs and found homes for them. I’ve trained puppies on simple commands and leash walking. I have very open and flexible availability. Monday: Open availability Tuesday: Open availability Wednesday: Available before 12pm Thursday: Available after 6pm Friday: Available after 6pm Saturday: Available before 12pm I am an early bird and I also end my day late. I communicate exceptionally well with many photos. I plan on doing more in home visits/ walks for pets instead of in my home. Special cases I can watch in my home, I have a cozy house with a large yard in the suburbs near schools with a lot of parks and trails. I have my own vehicle and am happy to drive.
About: I’ve been around dogs for basically my whole life, they’ve always been a big part of my world. Because of that, caring for animals feels very natural to me. I’ve helped take care of pets for friends, family, neighbors, and pretty much anyone who needed an extra hand. I’m comfortable with different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals. Whether it’s walks, feeding, playtime, or just giving them love and attention, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I understand how important it is to feel confident leaving your pets with someone, and I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and genuinely caring. Pet care fits really naturally into my daily routine because I enjoy staying active and keeping a structured schedule. I’m used to organizing my day around responsibilities, so things like walks, feeding times, playtime, and check-ins are easy for me to stay consistent with. I genuinely like being around animals, so caring for them never feels like a task it’s something I actually enjoy. My routine and flexibility allow me to give pets the attention, patience, and care they need throughout the day. When I care for pets, I focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for at all times. I pay close attention to their routines, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, playtime, or just giving them attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I try to adjust my approach to what makes them feel most at ease. I’m very patient, gentle, and attentive, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. My goal is always to make sure both the pets and their owners feel happy and stress-free.
“Nicole was awesome to work with! She left detailed notes in the pet updates and was always on time with visits. A great communicator and someone we'll definitely use again in the future!”
“Christine was an absolute pleasure to work with! She went above and beyond in taking care of my pup. Communication was fantastic, and she even brought along one of my dog's favorite tennis balls for a fun-filled trip to the dog park. The photos she sent showed just how much fun they were having. Christine even took the initiative to bring in a package for me without being asked. I highly recommend her services and will definitely be calling on her again. Five stars all the way!”
“Marissa did a great job with our cats! I was nervous about using an app mainly for dog sitting for cat sitting but I found a rare cat person, hallelujah! Really appreciate her flexibility and giving the cats good attention when she was here!”
“Kimberly is an absolute blessing. Our cat is very social and needs more human interaction than most, so traveling is a bit stressful. The daily photos Kimberly sent were so great - it was clear Mr Miyagi was in the best of hands. We came home to a happy cat! She cares for and loves your pet as her own and will unquestionably be our go to pet sitter 😊”
“Kayla did a great job in pet sitting out cat Gemma. She was also more than happy to assist in caring for our cat and among other tasks that were needed during our time away. I highly recommend her services.”
“Nithimas was an amazing pet sitter for our cat Rocky (our baby boy)! She made sure he was fed, ate, clean water and litter. And best of all she played with him, which meant a lot to us because he never felt alone. Thank you so much!! We will definitely request you again when we go on vacation. ❤️ Olga and Brandon”
About: I’m a dog mom and know how important an attentive and loving dog sitter is. I’d love to help you take care of your pets! My children are grown and I have a flexible schedule. I would love care for your pets, just let me know their schedule and I can accommodate. I’m a true dog mom. My dogs are quite spoiled and well-loved! I provide a safe, patient, calm, and loving environment while you’re away.
“Calvin and his wife were absolutely fantastic. They took excellent care of my little fur baby for four days. I’ll definitely be using their services again, and I highly recommend them to anyone in need of pet care.”
“Paige is such a genuinely sweet person and really cares about animals! I felt so comfortable leaving my babies 🐈🐈⬛with her. It particularly makes a difference when pets know they can trust a visitor and when that visitor takes the time to make sure they can feel safe. She took great care in keeping me updated with a description of their play date as well as great photos. She went above and beyond what I was expecting on my first rover experience and I recommend her <3”

Eloise was excellent! She took great care of my cat, followed my requested instructions, and was very accommodating when coordinating meet and greets and key exchanges. She was very friendly both to me and my cat, overall great service.I will definitely be booking again.
Sophia was super nice and easy to communicate with, due to last minute changes of plans I was unable to schedule a visit with her before I met (though she did offer). I sent her some details about how to navigate getting to the residence and care instructions for my cat and she took great care of her and sent me lots of photos. Would recommend scheduling her in the future for myself and others.
Zoila took on our cat sitting booking on fairly short notice and it went perfectly! She was a great communicator and made sure to clarify any questions she had about the cat's feeding schedule. We also had a few random mishaps around the apartment that she very kindly handled for us so we weren't stressed out about it while we were out of town . I would highly recommend her!

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.
