“I am so grateful that Catherine spent 30 mins each evening for one week with Houdini while I travelled. This was my first long trip since adopting Houdini and Catharine gave me peace of mind. She was punctual, organized, sent thorough check-ins, and perfectly executed Houdini’s care. She left our home as she found it, and even though our kitty is very shy, I know it helped Houdini to have someone check on her daily. l will absolutely trust Catharine with Houdini’s care in the future if she’s interested.”
“Elisa is always reliable and so caring towards our two pups. I had a last minute emergency and was so happy that she was able to take care of our boys. She is always great with communication and sends tons of photos. I never have to worry when she is taking care of them.”
“Katrina is always thoughtful and cares deeply for your furry kids. She’s always making sure everything is right, and if not, she’ll figure out a way to make it right.”
“Ian is absolutely incredible with my sweet fur babies each time he came to take care of them! He is attentive to instructions and details, and I love how he spends time with them after they eat. One of the best sitters I could ask for to take care of my cats.”
“I have used Simone for drop in visits for our 1yr old Bernedooble several times over the past 1-2 months. Simone is always responsive, attentive and she communicates well, prior to, during and after the assignment. Our dog is excited to see her and we know he is in good hands with Simone on duty!”
About: Ever since i was a kid i went to some of my neighbors dogs to ask to play with them. For many years, me and my family have dogsit many of my moms friends dogs at our house for extended periods of time. Im currently working part time couple days a week at a retirement community and a full time student locally at bucks county community college. I also play baseball for my community college. We have 2-3 hour practices 5 days a week with games. However since im local i can drop by and walk dogs with the free time that i have which during the week is when im not in class or at baseball. I care with them using quality time. I enjoy playing and sitting with them whichever they prefer. I believe i take care of myself well and i want to do the same for the dog.
“Meghan was a great cat-sitter! I couldn’t recommend her more — she provided me with various updates each time and made sure Jasper was well taken care of. I felt relaxed knowing he was in good hands while I was away. Thank you Meghan!!! 🐱💓”
“Adrianna really took the time to get to know basil. He’s a little shy . We are really lucky to have found a caring responsible person to help us when we’re a way for too long”
“Brooke was fantastic! :) Always showed up on time and sent pictures and updates while catsitting for us. She was also always super easy to reach and made sure to leave things how she found them. 10/10 we'd definitely book her again!”
“I felt very comfortable leaving my pet for a few days knowing that Heather would be checking in on him. She shared a daily update and prior to our trip she stopped in to meet our pet and make sure she knew exactly how to best take care of him.”
“Meghan provided excellent care to my two kitties. She was very conscious about keeping the food dishes clean and keeping the litter box clean. She spent time with them , giiving some love and comfort. I have reserved Meghan for multiple trips during the next year.”
About: I’ve cared for multiple dogs, including my own senior dog that had passed. Family and friends have trusted me to board their dogs, and I’ve provided feeding, medication when needed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of care and attention to keep them happy and comfortable. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday until 4pm. If you are needing to drop off your pup on Friday before 4, my mom would be home to help until I get home. I would only be available in the evenings during the week if needed. I have a fenced backyard where they can play, and food/water bowls to help dogs feel comfortable during their stay. Whether I’m caring for dogs in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have everything they need and receive plenty of attention, care, and are comfortable with me.
“Hannah did a great job caring for our 2 cats. She followed instructions well and is super friendly. Our boys were well cared for. One of our cats has diabetes and needs insulin given subdermally via syringe, along with oral meds, and Hannah did well with administering those. Very reliable, kind sitter. I would highly recommend Hannah!”
“Roxxie was great with my pups, she was very prompt and sent lots of pictures on their walks and playtime. My oldest and hardest dog was great and was excited to see her every visit. Last minute we had to add some drop in visits and Roxxie was willing and able to work this out for us. We will be using Roxxie for all our other trips.”
“Jiayao was great with my Saint Bernard and two cats. Always on time with her visits and she made connections with each of them and took extra good care of them! I definitely recommend her!”

Thank you again for caring for our furry baby. While lime takes a while to warm up to people we know he is always safe and cared for even if it’s on his own terms. We can travel without having to worry as Jeanne is super reliable and keeps in close contact. This is probably the 5th or so time we have used her and will continue to! She is the BEST
Joey did a great job taking care of our kitties and giving them lots of attention while we were in Colorado for a long weekend. He had great communication with us and made sure to take photos and check in with me everytime he stopped by. Would love go have him watch them again in the future!

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.
