“Lindsay was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog while we were away and went above and beyond by also caring for our guinea pigs and watering our plants. We came home to happy pets and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing everything was in such great hands. Highly recommend!”
“Mary was excellent with my three chow chows. She respected their space and let them take their time getting to know her. At the same time, she still got them in and out and took care of their needs, including wiping all their paws. She was prompt and gave them lots of attention and made sure they got exactly what they needed. Communication was great and I got lots of pictures each day with the update. Thank you, Mary!”
“I can see that Megan is clearly a dog person! My pups got so much attention from her on her visits while we were out of town for the weekend. Between treats, belly rubs, and snuggles (loved the pictures!) my dogs got royal treatment. And the attention to detail (did they thoroughly do their business before she left, etc) was unmatched. Thank you! I highly recommend Megan to anyone needing a dog-sitter!”
“Jackie is AMAZING! She is fun and empathetic. She accommodates the needs of the individual dogs with ease. My dogs love her and are safe and happy with Jackie! I am incredibly GRATEFUL to Jackie because I unfortunately was not so lucky with a dog walker found on Rover before her.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats when younger and a bit recently. Friends and neighbors have used me to check in on their pets and taken care of them. I have had cats for 12 years and currently have two 3 year old cats! Currently open for any/all bookings and have plenty of time for caring and loving for your pets. I am not very busy so even if you need last minute bookings I will most likely be available to care for your pet. Will be very patient with your animal and make sure that they are as comfortable as they can be. Should not have issues with watching or walking your pet and am open to any lengths of walks. Will be willing to do long walks if that’s what your animal loves!
“Lori was a great sitter overall, especially with communication. She made some fun captioned photos of our cat that we enjoyed seeing on a daily basis! And she always made sure to give her fresh food and water and cleaned the litter box. I would recommend her to others and rebook in the future.”
About: Hi! I am Katelyn- a wife, a mom of four kids, and a life long animal lover. I truly believe pets are part of the family. I currently have two dogs and a cat of my own, and over the years I’ve fostered countless animals and spent time working in animal rescue. Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life! I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you can’t be there. Whether your dog needs a walk, some playtime, a potty break, or just a little extra love and attention, I’ll care for them like I would my own. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups to shy or nervous pets, and I’m always happy to follow your pet’s normal routine. My goal is simple: happy pets and peace of mind for you! 🐾❤️ I am currently a stay at home mom and have open availability when my husband is not at work. He is currently working from home due to the corona virus! This can change in the future, but currently I am available and happy to help! I am not able to do home services at my home at this time due to our Denver boy not getting along well with others!
“We had a fantastic experience with Sara (AKA Rosie) while we were away for five days in South Carolina. She was incredibly reliable, completing every single scheduled drop-in (3 times per day) without missing a beat. What truly sets her apart is how much quality time she spends with the dogs—not just letting them out quickly, but actually sitting with them, playing, and giving them space to run and explore in our large yard. Our doorbell would notify us when she showed up at the house and she was always out in the yard with the dogs while they explored. She followed all care instructions, including administering their daily joint supplements, and kept me constantly updated with detailed reports and at least 10 photos per visit—which meant I was getting about 30 pictures a day of my dogs being happy, active, and well cared for. That level of visibility gave me so much peace of mind. She was also incredibly proactive: when one of my dogs ran off to a less visible part of the yard, she immediately notified me and took steps to make sure he was safe (he was probably sniffing groundhog holes and choosing not to listen because he loves the yard). I also appreciated her sharing a funny moment when my dogs calmly sniffed a wild bunny—they weren’t aggressive, just curious, and it was comforting to know she filled me in on notable happenings while I was away. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her with our pets again—she’s professional, dependable, communicative, and clearly has a real love for animals. Highly recommend!”
“Abbigail was very quick to respond to any questions I had. I felt comfortable, trusting her with my baby. He can be shy sometimes, but he enjoyed his walk with her. I will happily book her again.”

I care for own fur babies daily and volunteer at a shelter once a week. Everyone gets individualized attention, their favorite foods and lots of pets.

“Austin was a huge help in a pinch when I had a long stretch of work and needed someone reliable to walk Teemo. He stepped in on short notice and did a great job — Teemo came back happy, energized, and clearly very pleased with her adventure. Would definitely book with him again!”
“Kiara was available for us when our pet sitter quit last minute. We were across the country, and Kiara help ease the stress. We were having to have a friend help but thankfully Kiara was available to take over last minute the next morning. She made sure our dogs were taken care of sent adorable photos. She was thoughtful and always considered their well being. We would definitely use Kiara again!”
About: I grew up around many different types of dogs. I’ve raised my two dogs (Sirius and Archer, Aussie mixes) from puppies, and trained them both myself. They are both about 70 pounds, but I also had a French Mastiff, so large breeds aren’t an issue as long as they are properly trained. I currently work mostly afternoons and evenings, so providing care between 7AM and 1PM during weekdays is ideal. I don’t work every day, so if there’s another day or time you need, let me know, and I’ll check my availability. I’m happy to come to your home to play with, feed, and walk your pup(s)! My boys are pretty high energy, so I’m very used to having to entertain them.

I will take care of your pets with TLC in your home environment and during our walks together. Their safety and care is of utmost importance to me. Just let me know any specifics you need from me to help make your pet(s) feel loved and secure.
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life but my first job years ago in high school was at a veterinary hospital/ boarding. Because I was still in high school I was mainly in the kennels taking care of all the wonderful fur babies while their parents were out of town. Also, after informing the doctors that I was aspiring to become a vet, they allowed me to put on some scrubs and help out occasionally. I quickly realized that I was going to find a different way to care for animals 😂 Since then I have raised my own dogs and cared for animals of friends and family and have worked a few jobs at doggie daycares. I am an early riser because of my job so if your fur baby is too, they will fit right in! I work construction so I will be out for a portion of the day, but my wife works from home so her and our two pups will always be there to keep your baby company and make them feel right at home! At my house, no where is off limits for a furry friend. We can do anything to accommodate your fur babies to make sure they’re comfortable with their stay and you can have peace of mind that they will be happy and safe while you are away!

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.
