“Savannah is a STAR. She took perfect care of our dogs and was super flexible and so friendly and smart. We will definitely be using Savannah again. Our dogs were happy and taken care of upon our return. THANK YOU SAVANNAH. xoxo Tuffy & Luke”
“Bradley was great with my kitten! He provided helpful updates during visits and was very easy to communicate with. Highly recommend for anyone’s pet-sitting needs.”
About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life and have been relied on to take care of dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I love taking them on adventures and I have some grooming experience. I specialize in caring for dogs with high energy. I am currently working a 9-5 from Monday to Friday but am available and have complete flexibility on Saturdays and Sundays for in house boarding. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I rely on the leash for security to bring the dogs out for many walks. I don’t have any pets so all of my attention will be focused on your pet.
“Kathryn watched our two pups for a few hours while my husband and I went to dinner while visiting Nantucket. It was great to know they were happy and in great hands! She took them for a walk, cuddled on the couch, and sent great updates. Couldn’t recommend Kathryn enough if you’re looking for some help while visiting!”
About: I'm a life-long cat/dog owner. I've cared for senior pets with special needs and housed foster puppies. I communicate well with and understand most dogs and cats. My schedule is flexible. My full name is Mary Kate and I go by Kate. I can book appointments between 9AM - 9PM, seven days a week. Pet care fits into my daily schedule easily as I otherwise work remotely from home. I follow clients' written instructions on feeding, schedule, walks, and other expectations. During our in-person meetings we can confirm and make changes. These instructions create the baseline for everything else.
About: Ever since I was little, I have had a special love for animals-exhibited by the extensive and conclusive dog breed book that I made when I was 8! Rover has offered the perfect opportunity for me to share my love for animals and care-taking, without the full-time commitment of owning my own pet. Recently graduated and relocated from Denver, I hope to continue my care-taking journey by offering my services to the wonderful families and furry friends in Nantucket! I currently work part-time 8-3 at the Westmoor Club but am dedicating my free time to care services! I want to keep the process easy and breezy as possible for my clients so if you have any questions or requests regarding scheduling, please let me know! Any rules you have for home and pet care, I’ll follow to a tee. I know that maintaining routines for pets is essential to their wellbeing while their parents are away!
About: I’ve trained my own dog from a puppy, and recently trained a rescue dog who was once reactive and skiddish, now he’s confident and mellow. I love pets and always put them first; I just moved to Charlottesville with my dog and he’s been my absolute priority. I know how anxious pets can get when their humans leave, and I’m happy to help you help them feel comfortable. I am a college student working on my masters degree. I have pretty generous gaps in my day to care for pets. I have my own dog as well and am happy to do walks with both dogs! He’s very friendly and mellow. I will always respect a pets space. If in my home, the pet will have its own space to make its own. I want pets to feel happy and taken care of, and I will walk and play with your pup or cat happily! If a dog is reactive or has some disability, I have experience dealing with these issues and will adjust my care accordingly.
About: I have extensive experience caring for animals of all kinds - from dogs and cats to hamsters and fish. Since childhood, I’ve fed, walked, and ensured comfort for my pets, and even looked after stray animals. Your pet will be in safe, caring hands! I work online, so I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet - whether it’s for walks, feeding, playtime, or simply giving them attention. I believe it’s the perfect setup to balance my work with caring for a pet, ensuring they get the best care possible! I’m passionate about caring for pets - whether it’s dog walking, training, or playtime - all in the comfort of your own home. My main focus is on dog walking, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need
About: I've taken care of family pets for as long as I can remember and more recently, adopted a retired racing greyhound in 2016. My girl Celty happens to be a high-needs pup, requiring special consideration when it comes to socializing, diet, and exercise. She has taught me over the past 10 years to be in tune with animal body language and physical presentation of potential medical issues. With this experience and by taking special note of pet owner instruction, I'm confident I can provide the best care for your pet. I work from home and have my own vehicle so I'm ready and willing to meet you where and when I'm needed! I highly prefer not to work evenings but I'm free early morning until afternoon. I am happy to host your pet in my home if needed. When possible, I prefer to provide care inside your home and am always sure to follow all requested safety guidelines. I'm also happy to spend time playing and socializing with your pet, on top of the standard wellness checks.
About: I love animals i have had dogs, cats, horses, chickens all my life. You will not find a more dedicated person than me. Your pets will get an abundance of snuggles from me. I am currently employed by the local animal hospital as a veterinary technician. I live with my wife, who's an occupational therapist at the human hopital( don't worry, she loves animals too), two daughters (9 and 12 years of age) and a Bernese mountain dog ( 5 years old) and two adopted kittens. It keeps me busy, but I can happily fill in playtime with another pet. I have a very gentle big dog, a family that loves pets and a fully fenced-in yard. We are mere steps from the dog park, the beach and the state forest, so plenty of opportunities for any kind of pet.

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.

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 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.
