“Keisha took great care of my cat, Lyra, while we were out of town. She followed all of our instructions to a tee and went above and beyond, even disposing of the litter trash during her last visit. Lyra warmed up to her very quickly and clearly loved all the love and attention she received from Keisha. It gave us such peace of mind knowing Lyra was in such caring and capable hands while we were away. I highly recommend Keisha and would absolutely have her care for Lyra again!”
“Anita has been our dog sitter for a year now. Shes a great communicator, helpful and genuinely love dogs. I feel content knowing she is taking care of our Marley!”
“Rachel did a great job visiting out elderly dog 3x per day for over a week while we were out of town. When we returned, our dog was happy and well cared for. She had some car trouble during the week, but handled it well by contacting our emergency contact person and asking that they help one day while she was having our car fixed, so it didn’t disrupt our vacation. I recommend her.”
“Eva is amazing and takes careful care in meeting you and your dogs needs on her visits. I had her look after the dogs off and on for 3 days and she was on time and took care of them with ease. Very communicative and responsive. Highly recommend!”
“Natalia was professional and timely with our pups! We came home to 2 happy well taken care of dogs. We would have no problem recommending Natalia and will definitely use her services in the future without hestiation”
“Taylor is great with our dog and she communicates so well from the time of booking to post visits. She also has been available last minute when we desperately needed help. Highly recommended Taylor!”
About: I have always had a pet, and was a dog groomer for two years, as well as became certified. I worked at a pet store for 3 years! I am available 24/7 for pet sitting. They will never be left alone in my care, as well as going on walks whenever you’d like! My cat is my baby so I completely understand how loved your pets are, and will be sure to give them the same amount of love.
“Christi gave us peace of mind and really took great care of our dogs while we were away! She was super patient with our exuberant pup and also with our anxious pup, which allowed her to get comfortable with her. Highly recommend 😊”
“Chad was amazing! Booked with him last second after our original sitter canceled. Never used Rover so I was definitely hesitant, but couldn’t have lucked out with anyone better than Chad. He was early for every appointment and gave both our dogs nothing but TLC the entire visit. My wife would look on the cameras and our female loved Chad, they just played constantly. Our grumpy, old male seemed to enjoy his visits, which was a huge relief. I couldn’t recommend Chad enough, he’s extremely professional, diligent, and made us feel at ease during a stressful time.”
“Super sweet and very communicative! Andrea made sure Blue was comfy with her around before taking her out and that greatly helped my dog be excited and okay with someone else other than me taking care of her. Was a breath of fresh air knowing I did not have to worry about Blue while I was away. Thank you!”
“Rachel is wonderful. it’s so reassuring to know that while I’m away, kitty Millie is in good hands. This is the third time Rachel has taken care of Millie, and I always look forward to her funny stories and candid kitty photos detailing her check ins! I absolutely trust Rachel, and if I could give more than 5 stars, I would. We are so lucky to have her taking care of Millie.”
“Ann was absolutely wonderful with my puppy! Since she’s still so young, she requires a little extra care, attention, and patience, and Ann went above and beyond to make sure she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention Ann gave her, and I would happily recommend her to anyone looking for her services.”
“Deanna was very communicative and took great care of my kitties. She sent me loads of pictures and kept me updated on everything everyday. I really appreciated it as it allowed me to travel worry free, knowing that my cats were well looked after while I was away.”
About: Hi! My name is Adriana, and I’ve always had a deep love for cats. A while ago, I adopted a sweet mama cat and her adorable kittens, and they’ve truly become the best part of my life. Watching them grow, play, and show their unique personalities has been such a special experience. Caring for them taught me patience, gentleness, and how much love a cat can bring into your home. I treat every cat I care for with the same affection and attention, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Your kitty will be cared for just like one of my own! 💛🐾 I have a flexible schedule and am available full-time to care for your pets. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or cozy cuddles, I’ll make sure they receive all the attention and love they need while you’re away. 🐾💛 When I come to your home, you can always count on me to treat it with respect and care just like I treat your pets. I understand how important it is to feel safe and comfortable when someone enters your space, so I always make sure to follow your instructions carefully and keep everything just as you left it. Your pets’ safety and happiness are my top priority. You can trust that I’ll care for them (and your home) with the same love and responsibility I give to my own. 🐾💛
About: I have had my own dog since I was five when I named my Doberman Rommel. (History nut even then.) Around New Albany people see me walking my dog constantly. All weather every day twice a day. Long walks that allow my dog LuLu to explore and destress. Best thing for them. I love dogs and almost always, they love me right back. I'm patient, protective, and I know dogs are family! I work from home and I'm semi-retired so my schedule is as flexible as it gets. I can make almost any days and times work and boarding is always a possibility if you don't mind your dog getting an overload of attention! I have a fenced yard and an overly friendly senior mutt. I'm also always aware of other dogs when I walk and I know how to prevent problems before they happen. I owned a Golden Retriever and larger dogs in the past so big breeds aren't a problem.

Christi has watched our senior cat 3 times now! She is fantastic. We get great updates and pictures. Most importantly when we return we know he has been well cared for because of how he interacts with us. He has quality play time and stimulation. If you are thinking about booking Christi do it! You won't regret it!
We’ve been working with Lisa for a long time, and she is absolutely amazing. She always goes the extra mile, is incredibly caring, and even brings our dogs little gifts. She sends regular pictures that give us great peace of mind, and you can see how excited our dogs are to see her. We fully trust Lisa and will definitely continue working with her. Highly recommend!

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.

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.
