“Anthony was SO good to our dog!! I can always tell when someone took care of my dog well because when we get home he’s calm instead of anxious. Anthony made extra time to meet my dog and learn about his routine before his visits, updated us consistently with pictures and videos, checked in to make sure he followed our instructions, and even did an extra visit just to make sure our dog had enough potty breaks. He also went out of his way to help me learn how to use rover for the first time and showed integrity with how he charges. Would recommend and will definitely be calling him for help again!”

“Tiara is great! She is quick to respond and keeps you updated throughout the whole booking. 😁 She took great care of my baby girl while I’m away for the holidays! Would highly recommend!”
About: I have always had pets growing up. Animals are such sweet souls that can be so misunderstood. Let me love, and take care of your pet, while promising safety and health! I am currently staying at home with my daughter while my son is in school during the day! This is the perfect way for me to make some extra money while being able to still be a mom. I do not have any pets in my home so safety is my number one priority. I have a fenced backyard and am ready to play with your fur baby!
“Really good with my elderly cat who’s afraid of the whole world. Took the time to come and meet her before we left for a week, and took the time to find her every day to send a picture. Even when I asked if she could water my flowers she did! Totally recommend”
“She was great with my 2 dogs and went above and beyond for me. I did have to modify my days on her due to event being so close to home I could do drop in myself. Great to work with and so glad I picked her by the end of the week.”
About: Looking to make a little cash while doing something I love! I will make sure your pet is cared for as I would care for my own! I have been taking care of pets since I was young and look forward to meeting your furry friend! I am currently working nights full-time during the week. I will prioritize your pets needs even if I have to lose a little extra sleep! In my past experience of pet sitting, I have gotten excellent feedback regarding my time management skills, efficiency and relationships with pets I have taken care of. I have also owned multiple pets and know what they need to feel fulfilled!
“Shari is exactly who you want to care for your pet. She is responsive, prompt, responsible, and is so loving to our pup. I usually dread leaving him but didn’t feel that way with Shari watching him because he was in such good hands. Can’t wait to book with her again.”
About: I currently have a 12 year old Lab/mix dog, he is super sweet and loves attention. He is very friendly and no problems so far with other dogs. I have worked with a dog groomer before and would help out when needed. I can bathe your pooch anytime. I have had pets with separation anxiety before as well. I had an austrailian shepard growing up and she had separation anxiety bad, It wasn't easy but we were able to get her to not tear up the house anymore. If you have a pet that deals with separation anxiety then I would love to watch your pet for you. I work full time in Jupiter, FL during the week so weekends would be the only time I have available. I look forward to working with your pet(s). What do you say? Are you ready to let your pet have a wonderful time while you go out for a night and have some time to yourself? If so, I am your gal. I look forward to this adventure! I would be available most weekends to do drop in visits and possibly staying at your home if need be. Just let me know what you need and I will see if I can work it out. I have a fenced yard and have a dog who would love having a friend over sometimes. He gets along with every dog he comes into contact with.
“Thank you Kylie, you came over last minute and were a lifesaver helping me with Winnie while I’m on vacation! She was easy to work with and had great communication. The pictures and videos you sent eased my mind, and it’s easy to tell Winnie clearly loved you. I will absolutely be booking you again - so glad I’ve finally found a stable sitter for my baby for the future. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Will highly recommend her professional service to others. Thanks again!”
“Brittany was so sweet and professional. With her calm energy, both my boys took to her in no time flat (even my more anxious guy, Red). I’m thrilled to have someone I can trust come and stay with them while I’m out of town. ☺️”
About: I’ve been pet sitting for my neighbors since I was growing up, caring for dogs and cats while their owners were away. I’ve also had two cats of my own, so I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, cleaning, and giving pets plenty of love and attention. I enjoy going places and going on walks and it was be nice to have a pet to take on a walk. I also am very flexible with times! I always make sure to give the pets the right food and the correct amount and anything else they would need to make sure everything goes smoothly.
About: What sets me apart is my experience and genuine love for animals. I have two family dogs of my own who live back home with my parents, and I’ve been dog sitting since I was 12. Being away from my dogs makes me miss having that animal love around, so I would truly enjoy giving your pets the same love, attention, and care I give my own! Pet care fits really well into my daily routine because my class schedule is pretty flexible and gives me plenty of time throughout the day. On Mondays, my class is from 6–9 PM, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10:30–11:30 AM, and Wednesdays from 12–1 PM. This leaves me available most mornings, afternoons, and evenings to give pets plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and care! I care for every pet as if they were my own and always make sure to follow the owner’s specific routine and instructions. In a client’s home, I make sure their pet feels comfortable by keeping up with their normal feeding schedule, walks, playtime, and any other care they need. I also love giving them plenty of attention and affection so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away!
“Laurel was super nice and available at the last minute! Communicated with us through the whole process and kept us updated with every visit! Usually I’m hesitant about giving a stranger access to our home, but with her I only got positive vibes! And she is awesome! I will recommend her to anyone seeking a sitter for their pets! Thank you so much Laurel, we really appreciate you!”
About: I have taken care and rescued many dogs since I was 10 and I have 2 of my own. In my free time I also go and volunteer at animal shelters. I’ve bathed, walked, played, and brushed dogs of all ages as well. I am currently attending OU, and looking for between and after class pet care. I have more free time on my hands than I expected. So let me walk and watch your fur babies. I have a fenced yard back at home and I let my dogs out when needed. We go on walks every morning before it gets too hot for there feet and there bowls are never empty. If needed I can always crate them, as I have one with separation anxiety that I do the same with.
About: I have been around various kinds of dogs throughout my life. We always had dogs growing up in our house. I think dogs are special- they are a ray of sunshine in our lives. I am working full time for Christian Community School in the first half of the day, so I have lots of time to help out with your fur baby! I am available all weekend and anytime after 2pm. I would make sure to give them lots of attention! I will protect them with the best of my ability. I will take them on long walks, keep them company and make sure they are hydrated and well fed.
“Katy was so helpful with our dogs and stopping over on somewhat late notice. She was able to arrange a time and be flexible with my schedule with a meetup before hand and did great following our directions for her. She left a photo and updated us on the visit which made us feel at ease knowing our pups were being taken care of by someone who cared. We would definitely have Katy help us in the future!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newcastle
Keira did an outstanding job taking care of my two cats while I was away. My cats can be a little apprehensive with new people, but she gave each of them plenty of time to warm up at their own pace. She treated them with so much patience and care, and I could tell they felt comfortable around her. I really appreciated the photos and updates she sent throughout each visit. Overall, I’m extremely happy with the care she provided, and I’ll definitely be booking with her again the next time I’m out of town.

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.

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.
