“Bethany was amazing with my dogs! She was gentle, patient, and kept me updated every visit with photos and messages. My pups loved her right away, and I came home to happy, relaxed dogs. Definitely booking her again!”
“Kate did a drop in visit for us. This was the first time we utilized her services. Kate was very thorough, provided details of her visit and cute pictures. Bandit loves Kate! We look forward to using Kate again!”
“Casey was awesome with our dogs! She stopped by our house while we were gone for a short trip to let out our 2 pups. Casey even got one of our dogs that is not very trusting of new people to be comfortable around her. We highly recommend Casey for your next pet sitting!”
“Lillian was very caring and punctual to make sure my kids were taken care of. It was an easy assignment but i wanted them to be comfortable the week i was gone. She went above and beyond to make sure they were happy. I highly recommend her service. Thank you”
About: I’ve had the opportunity to take care of dogs that have hearing, vision, and temperament problems. I’ve never had an issue not being able to walk a dog. And if you haven’t ordered dog, I will have no issue helping the dog get stepped or into a car if needed. I love all dogs and I personally own a large dog and a medium sized dog. I’m currently work full-time so I won’t be completely available all the time, but I’ll make time for your pups. But I’m a pretty flexible person. I don’t offer for the animals to be kept at my house. If I were to have a dog stay at my home or if I had to go to a clients home, I would just make sure to have all of my things together as well as ground rules with the owner.
“Kristen was great!! Demo loved having her here for the night, and getting lots of love and attention! Thanks Kristen for everything, can’t wait to use you again and for some puppy play dates!”
“Kaitlyn did an amazing job with our two kitties especially accepting the last minute request due to a family emergency. She was willing to go out of her way to accommodate the last minute meet and greet which meant so much to us. Kaitlyn had not given insulin injections before and was game for learning and did it first time like a champ. It felt so good leaving knowing that Kaitlyn was in charge of our fur babies 💗”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is how attentive, patient, and dependable I am with every pet I care for. I have experience caring for pets with different personalities and energy levels, and I make sure each one feels safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I’m great at keeping routines consistent, encouraging positive behavior, and giving pets plenty of playtime, attention, and affection. I’m also very observant and quick to notice changes in behavior or mood so pets always receive the best care possible. My goal is to make both pets and owners feel completely comfortable and stress-free! I currently works a job from 6pm to 430 am. So, if discussed, I can determine if I can fit a morning stop into my schedule but I’m definitely available before 3pm M-F. Sat/Sun 10am till TBD. I care for pets with patience, consistency, and lots of attention so they feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I previously had a dog who sadly passed away after 13 years, which gave me a lot of experience and love for caring for animals through every stage of life. I currently have a poodle and a doodle who have had puppies together, and I also have two of their puppies, so I’m very familiar with caring for multiple dogs with different personalities and energy levels.
“Victória did a great job at taking care of Índigo while we were on our trip. It was our first time leaving her home alone & we were so worried about her, but Victória made us feel at ease. She sent plenty of pictures & updates & Índigo liked her instantly! She made sure she was well fed, but also played with her a lot & kept her company. This was our first time using Rover & if we ever need any pet care again, we will for sure be asking Victória to come back!”
About: I've grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have both a dog and a cat who mean the world to me. 🐶🐱 Over the years, I've cared for pets for neighbors, friends, and repeat clients through drop-in visits, walks, and house sitting. I love getting to know each pet's unique personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I'm comfortable administering oral medications when needed and always do my best to follow each pet's normal routine so they feel as happy and stress-free as possible. I currently have flexible availability for drop-in visits, dog walks, and house sitting. Once my fall semester begins on August 25 and I start my weekday nanny position on August 31, my availability will become more limited, but I'll still be accepting bookings that fit my schedule. I do my best to respond quickly to messages and keep my calendar up to date so you'll always know when I'm available. I know it's a big deal to trust someone with both your pet and your home, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. I'll follow your pet's routine as closely as possible, keep their environment clean and comfortable, and provide updates and photos so you can relax while you're away. During our meet and greet, I'll ask plenty of questions to learn your pet's routines, preferences, and any special instructions so I can provide the best care possible.
About: I’ve been dog sitting for the past 5 years. I’ve been dog sitting for the same clients all this time. I love their dogs like they are my own. They got lots of attention, snuggles and love! I work from home so I have lots of time to walk, play and attend to your pups! Also, I have a very golden retriever who loves to play! Your pup will never be unattended or off the leash when outdoors. I can crate if required. I have a friendly golden retriever who loves to play!
“Christina is absolutely wonderful and I cannot recommend her highly enough! From the very start, she was prompt, professional, and clearly passionate about what she does. It was obvious she treated them like her own. What really stood out was how communicative she was throughout the entire time. Regular updates and quick responses. It gave me such peace of mind. When I had to make a last-minute change to our plans, Christina adapted effortlessly without missing a beat. She was so accommodating and made what could have been a stressful situation completely seamless.”
“Haley was great with my dog with special needs. She followed instructions provided updates and showed she really cared. We would definitely use Haley as our sitter again. Thank you!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Newport
Alyssa was great to work with. I had something last minute pop up and needed someone to drop in for my cat and she answered right away. It's always a little nerve-racking having someone watch your pet, but he couldn't have been in better hands. Very responsive throughout and was able to administer his medicine as well. I would 100% book with Alyssa again in the future!
The only words that come to mind are exceptional, professional, reliable, considerate, communicative,….I do not think I can say enough great things. I have 3 very large dogs and she handled them with ease and kindness. You would have thought they were her own dogs. So grateful for her!

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.
