“This is our second time hiring Stephanie to look after our dog. She always goes above and beyond and is very communicative and thoughtful. Our dog absolutely loves her and we don’t have to worry because we know he’s in good hands. She’s reliable, consistent, follows all instructions—and she does all of this with genuine caring and compassion. We are so happy that we found Stephanie!”
About: What sets me aside from other dog sitters is my ability to be aware of a dogs needs! I am also super receptive to their needs and always want to make sure they're safe and taken care of. Especially since I know how scary it can be leaving your family (your fuzzy friend) with a stranger. However, I don't want it to feel like that. Through my husband's family I have had the privilege of really growing with four dogs. Two frenchies, and two chihuahuas who have become such a big part of my world. I love dogs and have even volunteered through CARE. Companion Animal Research Effort. The two Chihuahuas we owned were seniors so I would love to take care of senior pets if needed. I understand they need a lot more compassion as well as structure. I would make sure they're safe, monitored, and getting all the love they deserve to thrive! I'm currently working Full Time at a medical supply company- but I would love to help either Friday Nights after 5 PM, Saturdays if needed overnight into Sundays until 5 PM! I am more of a weekend available pet care professional. I care for pets by providing a safe and loving environment full of compassion. Whether they're a younger pet or senior pet I make sure all their needs are met and they won't be shamed for having any accidents etc. I will always clean up after them and I live by the rule of leaving things better than when I came into the picture. I also have all my focus on them and will make sure that they're in my sight!
“We were leaving abroad for about two months. I’m very grateful to have found Weichen on Rover to take care of my cat. Weichen was very easy to communicate with and always thoughtful and considerate throughout the entire time. I really appreciated the care and attention given to my cat, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. I’m very grateful for the help and would absolutely trust Weichen to take care of my cat again in the future. I highly recommend Weichen to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter on Rover.”
“Quynh did an amazing job taking care of our dogs during her drop-in visits. She was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about making sure they were happy and comfortable. Communication was great, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our dogs were in such good hands. We would absolutely book with Quynh again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter! 🐾”
“Aubrey is a fantastic sitter, and my cat adores her! She is super reliable, communicative, and easy to work with. She puts my mind at ease when I travel, and I’m so thankful to have found her. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was about 10 years old and have always loved being around animals. I have experience walking, feeding, playing with, and giving medication to dogs, including helping care for my neighbors’ dogs as well. I also have two cats, so I’m comfortable around both dogs and cats. I’m willing to help in any way I can and can’t wait to meet your pet! I just graduated from college and moved back home so I am able to help whenever you need. I am also very flexible and can work around your schedule! I always make sure pets are in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment where they feel cared for and relaxed. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, crate routines, and any specific needs or preferences the pet may have. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away.
“Johnathan was great with our cats and made us feel at ease while we were away. He sent regular updates with lots of cute photos, and it was clear they were well cared for. You could tell he genuinely cared about their well-being. We also had an unexpected issue with ants, and he went above and beyond to help take care of it for us, which we really appreciated. We came home to happy cats and everything just as we left it. We would definitely book with Johnathan again and highly recommend him!”
“Laura did an amazing job taking care of my Roxie! She was able to come through last minute when a different sitter fell through at the last moment before I had to leave town. She always informed me when arriving and if there were any issues. I would highly recommend her especially if you have a senior dog. She took extra good care of her!!”
About: We are a pet-loving family of three including one responsible, homebody teenager. We enjoy making canine friends by fostering from California Doodle Rescue and Doggy Protective Services (DPS). My husband works part time and spends most of the day at home as does my teenage son. Our favorite activity with our furry guests is to go on multiple daily walks around our neighborhood park a mere 100 yards away. When at home, our furry friends have access to frolicking and playing in 9000 SF of fully fenced in back yard. We are restricting our doggy care to one dog at a time, unless you have multiple canines because we want to focus specifically upon the needs of you and your treasured pet first. Your pet will enjoy three walks a day around the park and neighborhood, fed according to their normal schedule, and exercised or played with throughout the day. If you’d like, we would be happy to send you photos and videos of your pets vacation with us.
“Stephanie is so approachable and her communication is top notch. Very professional! Patrick loved her and she gave him the minute he needed to warm up to the idea. Perfect experience all around. Highly recommend.”

Angelina was so great with my two cats. One of my cats is difficult sometimes but Angelia was patient and the cat eventually warmed up to her. She also helped keep the house secure which gave us peace of mind. I highly recommend Angelina for pet sitting without worry!

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.
