“If I could give Heather 100 stars, I absolutely would. She's completely an animal person and knows how to bring the best out of your pets. She was able to get my skittish cat trusting enough for belly rubs within a single day! She's timely, extremely caring, and a joy to work with.”
“Sarah was awesome! Got some amazing photos of our precious kitty! Affordable, on time, and did an amazing job! 5/5 will certainly hire again! Thanks, Sarah, for all your help!”
“Todd took amazing care of Finn during our drop‑ins! He was thorough, punctual, and makes dogs/pets feel instantly at ease. Finn can be shy/quirky at first with certain people, but Todd won him over immediately and kept me updated with photos and notes. It’s such a relief knowing Finn is in good hands. We’ll absolutely be using Todd again!”
About: I am a certified Seattle Humane volunteer and have a dog, of my own. I currently have a related job and my own petsitting business. I currently only work one shift on Sunday mornings, most of my time is freed up since i graduated and am doing a gap year. I come over to your house with trust and the knowledge that your pet is special to you. I give them all they need and more, providing a positive experience.
“Yini was amazing! She came and did visits to care for our cat for about three weeks and did an excellent job taking care of him. She sent us so many sweet photos of him and were confident he was in good hands.”
“We just had our puppy fixed and needed some help while we worked. She was so gentle and caring. She made sure that he was careful when he went out to go to the bathroom. She helped make sure he ate some food even though he wasnt feeling too much like eating. I would absolutely ask her to come back and help watch our little pup.”
“Katelyn was great! She came last minute on a holiday weekend and took excellent care of my senior lady. She followed all of the care instructions to the letter and provided plenty of updates, was on time, and even managed to coax my shy kitty out for some treats and pets. Highly recommend her as a sitter!”
About: I’m experienced in spending quality time with dogs and helping them feel at ease in new environments. I take a calm, attentive approach and enjoy walks, playtime, and relaxed companionship. I’m mindful of routines, boundaries, and each dog’s individual needs, and I focus on creating a safe, positive experience. I’m home full time and have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and care throughout the day. I’m able to adjust my routine to meet each pet’s needs. Whether caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, safe environment. I supervise interactions, follow routines closely, and make sure pets are comfortable at all times. I’m attentive to safety, hygiene, and clear communication with owners throughout the stay.
About: I have owned and taken care of many different animals throughout my entire life. Friends and neighbors regularly rely on me to take care of their animals while they are gone. I have taken animal science courses throughout all 4 years of my school where we learn about all kinds of animals including livestock and companion animals. In this class, we regularly go to peoples homes/farms and tend to their animals in many different ways such as vaccinating, trimming hooves/nails, properly restraining animals, feeding etc. I have experience taking care of elderly dogs in “doggy hospice” by regularly providing meds and shots, feeding, etc. as well as help raise newborn puppies. It is my goal as a pet owner to work hard and do lots of research in order to provide my pets with the best possible life, and I hope I can do the same for other peoples pets as well. I work full time, but when I am not working, I am always available to take care of any animals. Please reach out a few days in advance so I can make sure I’m free. I will treat your pet and your home like my own and make sure everything is taken care of. I will make sure your animal feels happy and loved.
“Delaney took great care of our dogs, cat and house while we were gone. Very communicative, lots of updates with photos. She left our house clean and tidy, got our mail and all of our packages (we get a lot) I can’t thank her enough for taking such good care of our farm.”
About: I have been a STEM teacher for 5 years, handling classes with students of grade levels from middle school through seniors. I also pet sat my SIL’s cats at her house (one a senior, other younger) while she traveled overseas for a month, along with aiding in looking after four young puppies for a month. Also, I establish trust and care with both dogs and cats in a timely manner, ensuring that they fill safe and loved. Also, I have had several cats and dogs of my own throughout the years. I am currently in my summer break so I can be there for your pets practically at anytime, just busy on Monday and Wednesday mornings until 12 pm. In your home, I can feed, walk, play, and love your dogs and cats as much as is needed. If they have routines or need to be put up / crated, I can facilitate those.
“Carla was able to help take care of our 11 week old pup with short notice! Our pup Peaches was well-cared for and Carla was very kind in forgiving our little landshark for all her puppy biting. Thanks Carla!”
“Scarlett did an amazing job taking care of our old lady Jelly. She followed directions thoroughly, gave her medicine on time and made sure Jelly didn't get lonely while we were gone. She's super nice, communicative and pays attention to the animal's needs. I highly recommend Scarlett (Wanqing) for your pets needs when you need to be away. Will definitely use her again for any upcoming trips!”
“Keith just helped us with our cats for the first time over the holidays. He was very communicative and did an extra thorough search to put eyes on our most elusive hider so I wouldn’t be worried while we were out. It was very much appreciated!”
“First time leaving my senior dog alone for a week. We decided to try a sitter on Rover, and we are happy with our dog and with the care that Jessie V. put into caring for Sammi, and for the house. At 15 years old, Sammi has messes, and I am grateful for Jessie's care in caring for Sammi, and for the condition of the carpet and floors. When we saw Sammi after being away for a week, he seemed happy, well-fed, and the room smelled clean. Thanks, Jessie!”

Ally is the best!! She was a life saver when my pet sitter cancelled and was able to come over and meet Gemma last minute before our trip. She sent detailed updates and always made us feel so comfortable that our girl was in the best hands. I highly recommend her!

I booked a last minute drop in for our dog, and Jackie was wonderful! She stopped by a couple of days prior to meet our pup and go through all of her needs for the drop in. She sent photos of their play session and checked all the boxes on my checklist. Thanks, Jackie!!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Newport choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
