“Amazing service! Kasie is professional, friendly and flexible. I felt very comfortable leaving my kitty in her care. She always sent pictures and updates which I appreciated. I even had to switch the schedule a little bit throughout my trip, and she took it in stride.”
“Bobbie was amazing and accommodating with me and my dog Mabel. She was super friendly, calm, and knowledgeable about dogs and specifically pit bulls. I got lots of updates and she was very transparent on what my dog was doing in her care. Definitely will be using Bobbie again!”
“Our puppy had a great time with Kristin! We trusted her in our home, she replies quickly, is reliable, and she updated us with pictures of our fur baby while we were away.”
About: I have plenty of experience of taking care of dogs, cats and other types of animals we call our babies. I have three cats and a turtle of my own at home. Your pets will be loved and watched as if they were my own and more because I know the fears of leaving them alone with someone new. I currently am employed but I am looking to become a full-time sitter or make a transition into the industry working alongside animals. I have a long time dream to open my own shelter one day. I care for your pets as if they were my own babies. Mainly following all your instructions and guidelines, with a little touch of love. I will always provide photos for proof of life and keep updates if necessary.
“Was a great person to have checking on my cat while I was gone. She gave daily updates along with photos. Always played for a bit and made sure her litter box and food was replenished. Will definitely recruit Gabrielle again when I leave town.”
“Abby did a great job taking care of our two dogs, Milo and Lila, on the day of our wedding. We needed someone to drop in on them to let them outside and feed them, and she provided us with text updates for each of her visits which took the weight of worrying about them off our shoulders. We would 100% have Abby come watch our babies again.”
“Lindsey was INCREDIBLE. She looked after our two (very finicky) cats for two weeks and was absolutely perfect. Not only did she send consistent updates and photos, she played with the kitties, changed their water and litter, and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and healthy. I truly felt at ease with Lindsey caring for our pets. I would recommend her one thousand percent!!”
About: Growing up I’ve owned a variety of dog breeds & currently own three cats, a tarantula, millipedes, & a few other “creepy crawlies”. I have had friends, family, and even neighbors repeatedly entrust me with their furry family members. I am also open to caring for exotic pets (lizards, geckos, snakes, tarantulas, millipedes, scorpions, & more!) If you have any questions feel free to ask! I’m currently working part-time, attending school online, & teach yoga on Sunday’s so I have plenty of free time to dedicate to you & your pets needs! Communication is super important to me so you, your pet, & myself all have a positive experience. Please don’t spare any details about what your family needs!
About: I have loved taking care of dogs and cats for most of my life. I come from a household that taught me a lot of responsibility through taking care of our pets, so I understand the anxiety and trouble of trying to get an extra hand with your furry friends. I’m patient, understanding, and would love to extend the help. I’m currently working remote, which can leave me with a pretty open schedule some days. My availability varies but it is flexible and easy to work around with enough time in advance. I live with 2 dogs that don’t get along with other animals, so pet care at my home is not an option; however, walks and park trips are!

Stephanie was great!!! She kept us updated with her pets our pets love her, probably more than their owners lol. But when we need a Dog Sitter we’ll definitely rebook her. She did great with our cat and dog and she took better pictures of our animals and we have ever done and we love it. Thank you, Stephanie.
Stephanie is super!! She was so great with Handsome and helped me so very much in dealing with his rear legs disability. I look forward to using her again once I get some finances in order. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter and very pleasant person to work with.

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 .

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.
