“Hillary was super amazing with our cat. She was very dependable and flexible with us in scheduling and our cat came out for cuddles with every visit which is rare for her. I'm so happy to have found her and will look forward to using her services again in the future.”
“Maegan was fantastic! She showed up on time, everytime which is far different than sitters we have had previously. She was great with our dogs and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her visits! Strongly recommend her!”
“Brooke took care of our cat Garfield while we attended our son's wedding in Virginia; it's been several years since we had a sitter. No worries. Brooke arrived on time, did everything we asked, and texted us a picture/update at each visit. She is now Garfield's new friend. Highly recommend her for your pet-sitting needs.”
“Rebecca was awesome! She showed up at the scheduled times and did exactly what we asked of her and she was very loving with our dog. Would use again and recommend you giving her a call for your pets !”
“Samantha was an excellent choice for us as a dog walker. She was kind, punctual and reliable. We felt very comfortable leaving Maisey under her care. I highly recommend Samantha.”
“Very good - Jessie was flexible when weather changed our plans and provided good updates. Our dog just wanted to lie in bed, but Jessie tried to coax her into some exercise and was willing to stay the full 30 minutes.”
About: Your dog’s happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities. I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who will treat your pet like family, whether we’re enjoying a fun walk, getting plenty of exercise, or relaxing with extra affection. I’ll make sure your furry friend feels loved, comfortable, and well cared for every step of the way. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I make time to provide attentive, loving care, follow each pet’s regular schedule, and ensure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I am an online student who would love scheduled breaks during the day to walk and enjoy the company of a furry friend. I provide attentive, loving care, follow your instructions carefully, maintain their regular routine, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, attention, and affection. I also treat your home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and just as I found it.
About: I have a certificate as a vet assistant. I also have lots of experience dog sitting and even have a pet rabbit. I have taken care of younger dogs, as well as older dogs. I will be continuing my education to become a veterinary technician! I care and love on your animals! I would love to be there for your animals and provide the care and love that they need!!! I do not have a fenced yard, and I currently have a bunny too. So it would be better to be at your home or if needed I can keep them at my house and can be caged if needed to be.
About: Hello! I have many years experience within the veterinary field, pet sitting and taking care of my own babies (cats and dog). I work mainly remote so I have a flexible schedule. I am also able to utilize my fenced backyard for playtime if that is something of interest. My experience ranges from puppies to senior care, and I can also administer any medications. I work mainly remote most days so I am flexible with my schedule for pet care. I am also available weekends and most holidays. :) I offer drop ins and walks! I can also utilize my fenced backyard (6 ft privacy fence) for playtime. I have a friendly 5 year old pittie if they are okay with other dogs, or I can leave him inside for playtime.
“Sofia did a great job with our two dogs while we were gone for the week. She sent pictures every time she was there. She communicated very well and did everything we asked of her. Will definitely rebook and recommend Sofia.”
About: Hello! I am a 19-year-old girl looking to take care of your animals. Here is a bit of information about me: My personality is active communication, open-minded, and flexible. I like working with animals since my childhood with pet animals. I've taken care of fish, turtles, cats, and mainly dogs. In my spare time, I do online University with General Studies for the moment on Fridays and Saturdays. However, animal care is something I want to pursue with passion and love. I recently moved in the area, so I'm excited to work and spend time with family. I want to know specifics. If you answer any of my questions, I would appreciate it soo much. No intention to mess up, especially being new to everything. The goal is being helpful as possible for you and to do the very best that I can. I am in the Spring Ridge area. I can provide good feeding, walks, cleaning up dirt or messes, and proper potty time. Thank you for considering me! I am open minded to all animals except cats, I am sadly, allergic to the fur. I recently adopted a dog in my family and she is prioritized before any messes in the house. I want to express that full heartedly with your animals too. I can take them on a walk. I am mainly looking at dogs so I’m referring to them when I say taking on a walk or going potty. I can feed and give proper medication proportions. I can provide overnight care if you are on vacation or need someone present with your animals. If you need someone over during the day, then I can be the girl for you!

I care greatly about dogs and make sure that they are well taken care of with plenty of love and exercise. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all of my life. As a little kid my childhood dog was my constant companion and when I wasn't with him I was with the neighbors' dogs. In my twenties I moved to Alaska where I pursued a career in dog mushing and for two years lived with 120 dogs! Unfortunately due to frostbite I had to move back to the east coast.

We have a huge fenced in backyard, with lots of trails in walking distance! My experience administering medication Yes I have no problem administering medication. Including injections I’m currently a stay at home mom and almost always home so your dog will never be left alone for long periods of time!! My 5 year old is great with dogs and will give your animals plenty of love and attention!!! We have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run! Your dog will be let out frequently and get plenty of exercise!! I try and take the dogs for a long walk at least once a day. Your dog will have free roam of the house, but we are more than happy to crate if you provide one. Our dogs eat in the am and pm, however we can accommodate your dogs feeding schedule.
About: I have a variety of experience with dogs of every age, breed, and temperament. A few years ago, I cared for my senior dog and helped him with mobility, comfort, and daily medical routines. Now, I’m caring for two young dogs (ages 2 & 3) that I’ve trained myself from when they were puppies. Along with personal experience, I have school-based veterinary training, including first aid, administering medications, and knowledge with health concerns. I also spent a year working as a professional dog walker at a boarding facility to learn professionalism. Overall, I have a mix of compassion, knowledge, and training to give every pet the proper care. I am a student currently, so I’m available anytime from 3pm-10pm on weekdays or anytime from 7am-10pm on the weekends. I give myself a wide range of availability so I am able to take longer visits, multiple walks, and provide more flexibility in scheduling. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I follow their routines exactly, pay close attention to their comfort, and make sure they feel happy. On walks, I use secure leashes and stay attentive at all times. In client homes, I’m careful with doors, gates, and belongings, prioritizing pet safety. My goal is to create a safe, caring environment where I can build trusting relationships with each pet.
About: I have been taking care of my own personal dogs since I was 12 and have had other family members and people in my community rely on me to provide care to their pets. I am currently a full time college student and working a part time job, but I have lots of time throughout the day sectioned off that I am free to take care of your pets! I I have two dogs of my own, so I understand the lifestyle. I am very understanding and receptive when it comes to special requests or certain routines, I will always respect what the owner wants for their fur baby. Feel free to reach out and communicate if you need anything special from me, I’m more than happy to oblige!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New London
We recently booked Mikayla to care for our two cats while we were away, and she did a fantastic job. One of our cats is very social and easygoing, while the other is much more anxious and cautious with new people, so I’m always nervous leaving them with someone new. Mikayla handled both of them so thoughtfully and professionally. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly paid attention to the details of their care. We came home to two happy and well cared for cats, which is honestly the best feeling after traveling. I also really appreciated the updates and photos while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring cat sitter.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
