“Linda is AMAZING! I was very nervous about leaving our cat alone for the weekend and the care and time she spends with our spunky little guy immediately eased my mind. We appreciate Linda’s care of little Arlo and will continue to ask her to watch him when we are out of town!”
“Hannah was great with our 12 week puppy especially with this being the first time we left him! She came to meet him ahead of time, followed his routine and sent so many pictures! Grateful to have found Hannah”
About: I’ve grown up around dogs ever since I was little, some including mini poodles, rottweilers, germans shepards, boxers, and malti-poos. I trained my own dog when he was a couple months old when I was 16 and have been responsible for him ever since. I give him baths, we go on walks 1-3 times a day, and i feed and play with him. At the moment I just moved home from college and looking for something to keep me busy. I typically go to the gym everyday and whether it be before or after i’m usually free. With my own dog if i let him out in the backyard for a quick bathroom break i always go with him and when we go for walks he’s always on the leash until we get back to the house. Same would go for other dogs I will be walking. I will ensure they are on the leash at all times and that i’m paying attention and not distracted by my phone or other devices. When on longer walks I carry water with me for them and always clean up after they go to the bathroom.
“Nicole was fantastic looking after my cat. He’s 16 and can be grumpy but she got him to socialize a bit and even eat treats from her hand. She’s really good with him and great at communication with me while I was away. Definitely will use Nicole’s services again.”
“Jackie went above and beyond to accommodate checking on our cats despite a long schedule for our trip, and we love the photo updates and check ins she always provides!”
“Leigh is a gem!! I’m so happy I found her to look after my cats. This is my 3rd time booking with her and she is great! She takes lots of pictures and gives sweet updates.”
“Sam is always on time, communicative, and ready to interact with Boss whether it is an attempted walk in this current heat, play time in the backyard, lick mat moments, or lots of pets & cuddles. We appreciate the love she gives Boss when we’re out for an extended period!”
“Alissa was fantastic! She made everything in caring for our golden retriever so easy..she totally “gets it” We felt very comfortable with Alissa and will definitely have her again :)”
“Jordyn is great with our cat and dog! Jordyn has been helping out with our dog for the past couple of months and was eager to help with our cat while we were traveling as well. She is always communicative and kind!”
About: I have grown up around golden retrievers my whole life and love to take care of my friends' and family's dogs. I also have experience volunteering at animal shelters with feeding, walking and playing with both cats and dogs. Nothing makes me happier than making sure your furry friends are well-taken care of! My primary availability is between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM on the weekdays. However, if you require any additional availability earlier or later in the day, let me know when booking, and I can confirm if I am able to support! I am here to help make sure your dog is taken care of while you are away: feeding them, playing with them, taking them on walks, and making sure they are treated as if it's just another day for them. I am an active runner training for a marathon, so if your dog likes to run, I can always use a running buddy! If there are any special requirements needed for your dog, please let me know in advance what you need so I can be prepared to take the best care for them.
“Alexandra was a life saver taking care of our dog during the holiday while we were out of town. Our dog felt so comfortable with her going for walks and she sent lots of photos to put our mind at ease that our pup was in great hands. Highly recommend if looking for a caring, trustworthy dog sitter!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life. I had a golden retriever who sadly passed away 10 years ago and then helped raise and train a collie mix with my parents. After moving out I adopted a dog of my own who needed a lot of behavioral training and patience. I understand what it’s like to have a more difficult pet and am here to help. would love to help care for your dogs like my own. I am unable board your pets in my own home but can pet/house sit at your house or take them on walks regularly I work full time in healthcare Monday-Friday from 8-4 but am available for evening walks. I get major holidays off and am available most weekends to care for your pup as well. I cannot board your dog in my home due to behavioral issues with my own pup however I am able to stay over and care for your pup in the comfortable of their own home. I follow all instructions and guidelines provided to care for your pets appropriately and never allow dogs off leash or to interact with other dogs for safety unless otherwise specified
About: Hi, I’m Corrine! 🐾 Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always brought me so much joy. I grew up with dogs and even had one by my side all throughout my college years, so I know firsthand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pup. I have plenty of experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior dogs, and I always make sure to adapt to their unique needs—whether that means lots of playtime, patient training reinforcement, or slow strolls. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and stayovers, and I treat every dog as if they were my own. Your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort are my top priorities, and I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your pup! 🐶 Fits very well, I work completely remote and find myself have a lot of extra time on my hands. So it is easy for me to take a pause and walk your pup or work remote while doing a stay over or day care. In my client’s home, I make sure to follow their specific routines and instructions so pets feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I always prioritize their safety by keeping a close eye on their environment, making sure food, water, and any medications are given on schedule, and sticking to their normal feeding and walking times. I also give plenty of love, attention, and playtime to keep them happy and engaged. If I’m staying over, I treat the home with the same respect I would my own, keeping everything tidy and making sure your pet feels calm and cared for throughout the day and night. My goal is always to give pets the consistency they need so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away.
“Vanessa was fantastic and professional when she came to our house to walk our dog Roxy. She was prompt, able to calmly interact with our special needs dog and provided multiple pictures and updates during her one hour stay! We will be using her as a regular sitter from now on!”
About: I live with and care for two dogs every day, an Olde English Bulldog & a Frenchie, my two lovable shadows. Living with these goofballs means I know brachycephalic breads well, when they've had enough sun, and when the walk needs to slow down. I have experience with senior dogs and IVDD. Feeding, walking, running, cuddling, companionship, I am comfortable well beyond just walks, so home visits and check-ins are right up my alley. I lift weights four times a week, so big, strong, or energetic pups don't faze me. I have been dog walking off Rover for some time in the area, and am now bringing my services to the greater public. I currently have a flexible, open schedule and can accommodate walks (or runs) and visits throughout the day, including short notice requests. Mornings, afternoons, and evenings all work for me, and I am happy to build a consistent routine around your pup's needs. When caring for pets in a clients home, I am respectful of both their space and their pet's routine. I take the time to help pets feel comfortable with me, give them plenty of attention and exercise based on their individual needs, and provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are safe and happy while they are away.
“Great communication while one the walk and took pictures of my puppy all happy on his walk. Also responded quickly and was available on short notice. Definitely would use again and recommend!”
About: My partner and I have been dog sitting for five years. Prior to that, we both grew up with family dogs and are very familiar and comfortable with a wide variety of dogs and breeds. We are incredibly enthusiastic, loving, and kind towards all animals. A stay with us if fun for your pet and for us! We love going on walks, and we live in a very dog-friendly apartment complex/neighborhood. We hope you’ll have your furry friend come stay with us! I am dog-sitting full time and my wife, Kayla, works remotely from home most days. Together we give your dogs the utmost care and attention. Attentiveness is the most important thing for us when with pets. In our home, we make sure that we can see the dog playing at all times. We put items away that are not dog-friendly, and we clear out space for playing and downtime. On walks, we are always attentive to the dog and how they behave and interact with other people, dogs and other animals in the neighborhood. A stay with us is always fun for the dog, but we like to make sure that your pet is safe and cared for. We also value communication. You putting your pet in our care while you are away, and we understand the trust that it takes to leave a member of your family with us. We give as many updates as you’d like via messenger and numerous photos or videos throughout the day. We are always reachable and willing to let you know how your dog’s stay is going. I’m currently working remotely. I tutor part-time from home, but I’m almost always home and I make pet sitting a priority. I used to be a teaching assistant, so I am very reliable and used to being responsible for others’ loved ones. I live in a very safe apartment complex. The buildings look like town homes, it is away from the main roads, and the complex Is pet friendly with lots of grass areas for your little guy or girl to do their business. It’s a wonderful welcoming community. I have my own entrance to my apartment and all the dogs in the community are wonderful.
About: I have experience with both younger dogs and elderly dogs. I have specifically worked with senior dogs, who required special care getting around, keeping track of their medication schedule, and their diets. I'm currently working part time and remotely, so I'll have a lot of time to spend with your dogs. I also enjoy taking walks, so I'll make sure your dogs are getting the outside time they need! I have a large fenced in yard at my home, along with plenty of dog toys. I can also crate your dog if needed. There are also a few trails nearby which are easy and engaging for dogs to walk through.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - New Vernon
Kaylee has watched over our pup Louie a couple of times now and we couldn’t be happier. She is clearly a pet lover and treats our baby as if he was her own. She sends updates and pictures, ensures that any concerns are addressed, and keeps our house as neat as she found it. We would highly recommend Kaylee for anyone in need of a caring and responsible pet sitter!
Joanna is a really responsible, sweet, and communicative person. I highly recommend leaving your pets under Joanna’s care, when I was away my anxiety about my dog’s wellbeing wasn’t there because I knew he was in good hands. Cosmo seemed super happy hanging out with Joanna, even playing together during short check-ins, which I really appreciate. I hope to work again with her 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 .
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.

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 .
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.
