“Lana was great! She did drop in visits for our cat while we were away. Took care of everything we asked and provided pictures when possible. Will be using her services again!”
“Alexandra did an amazing job with our two kitties while we went on vacation. They were loved and well cared for, and she played a LOT with them! We definitely would recommend her!”
“Natasha went above and beyond when taking care of Roscoe. He is a bit of a fearful dog, but he took right away to Natasha and even rolled over for a belly rub, which he never ever has done with a stranger before. She must have some sort of special touch. She is responsible, keeps in constant contact, followed all of my instructions, and Roscoe obviously loved her. We will definitely be using her again in the future.”
About: I grew up with two dogs and two cats my whole life! I’ve been a pet sitter to my family members and friends for the past decade and love animals. My job and travel schedule does not allow me to have my own dog full time but I would love to have the opportunity to take care of yours :) I’m very responsible and caring to pets and humans!! I work full time but work from home Thursday/Friday and of course am free on weekends! I can re-arrange my WFH schedule to best suit your dogs needs. When I work from home I typically have very few if any meetings, instead I go on walks or runs and enjoy the outdoors (weather permitting ☺️) I have a fenced in terrace that is 25 x 20 ft for any dogs to enjoy at their leisure when I pet sit! I am very responsible and vigilant as a sitter. My primary concern are the pets I’m sitting and will be very consistent with that mindset for the duration of their stay.
“Cassidy was amazing!! I needed someone to check on my cat while I was out of the country. It was such a relief knowing that Cassidy was keeping an eye on everything and giving Katniss plenty of attention while I was away. She kept me updated everyday and was super accessible for communicating about a few questions that came up while I was gone. I would not hesitate to ask Cassidy to watch my cat again, or any other pets for that matter! Highly recommend!”
About: I love all pets. I’ve taken care of over seven different dogs ranging from 8 weeks old to 15+. I’ve administered medication orally and topical long walks and assistance after medical procedures. I do not do boarding in my own home. 100% in the comfort of your own home please do not hesitate to reach out for any questions! I am very flexible for any pet care for any questions. Feel free to reach out. I’m available at all times of day and night to make sure our babies are okay I have a dog and cat we feed both twice a day the correct amount needed for them. Our dog goes on a daily walk. Other client care I do whatever the pet parent needs and wants to ensure the safety of their pet and whatever they are comfortable with.
“Kevin and Ana came exactly when they said, walked my dogs and dried them off from the rain, and were very communicative. When my new address was not updated in the system and they ended up at my old address, they contacted me right away and without hesitation went to my new address 20 minutes away. I will definitely get in touch again when I need a dog walker and sitter!”
About: I have always had pets in life (dogs, cats, rabbit, hamsters, fish) and even adopted a dog to live with me when I was in college. The majority of my experience is with dogs and it spans all sizes and breads (from an 8-pound Maltese to a 70+ pound American Staffordshire Terrier). Over the last few years, I have worked with several animal shelters and opened my house to foster pets in need. During this time I have worked to train puppies and taken care of pets that required special attention due to illnesses. I have recently retired and now have plenty of time to live the dream of caring for and playing all day with your fur children. I live on a pet friendly street (cul-de-sac) and my house is properly secure to keep pets safe (gates, crates if needed) and happily engaged in activities.
“Our cats were very happy when we came back, we got consistent updates and photos, she was communicative and she did what we had asked regarding the care of our kitties as well as keeping our home secure. We recommend booking Patricia, and will use her in the future! Thank you! 😻😻”
“Was great to have such a lovely caretaker take care of my kitty while I had to travel. Came out before the scheduled time to meet my cat and the reliable communication was great peace of mind! Would recommend and will absolutely use again.”

A little bit about myself, I live with husband and 2 fur babies. I have owned various size and breed of dogs since I was in elementry schools. Right now I have 3 small dogs( all were adopted), one is a senior and one is handicapped. They go out for walks at least 30 min per day in the parks, and I groom them myself. We trained them well and they dont beg by the table, they dont bark for no reasons, and they are well socialized. I am so grateful for able to take care them. One of the dog is 15 years old she got adopted by us at age 7, she came with anxiety issues. we retrained her to relieve herself outdoor, she learned fast, and she was rehabilitated into a wonderful, fun, loving dog. The handicapped one has a birth defects but he is the sweetest dog I ever owned, he is well behaved and very smart.

I let them out every 2 -4 hours during the day if I am home. Our yard is fenced. They get 2 meals a day. some treats. I follow clients instruction on taking care of dogs.
About: I have been around dogs my entire life, with experience caring for breeds of all sizes. I have always had a natural ability to connect with dogs and have been comfortable handling and caring for them from a young age. Additionally, I have experience house-sitting and providing care for dogs belonging to coworkers, friends, and family members. My lifelong experience and genuine love for dogs allow me to provide attentive, reliable, and compassionate care for every dog I look after. I am currently playing junior hockey, with practices scheduled Monday through Thursday from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Outside of those hours, I am fully available to provide attentive and reliable care for your dogs. My availability on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays varies depending on my hockey schedule, but I am happy to coordinate in advance to find a time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. When caring for pets in their own home, I do my best to maintain their normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment while giving each dog plenty of attention, affection, and exercise suited to their needs. Having grown up around dogs of all sizes, I understand that every dog has a unique personality and needs. I strive to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and loved while their owner is away. I also keep owners updated on how their pets are doing for added peace of mind.
“Ria went above and beyond making sure our two rescue cats were well-taken care of while we were away. She sent text and photo updates throughout and took care to play with and get to know our cats. Highly recommend, exactly what we hoped for from drop-in visits!”
“I was a bit hesitant leaving her with anyone, BUT SHANNIA is fantastic with my English Bulldog! She has a right shoulder injury and Shannia picks my dog up (weighing 54 lbs) up and downstairs! She wipes her 🐾 really good! She is amazing”
About: I'm Steven, a former science teacher who turned a lifelong love of animals into full-time pet care. I've cared for my own dogs for years (John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, my senior Chihuahua) and have looked after friends' and neighbors' dogs, cats, and small pets for as long as I can remember. I'm Fear Free Certified and Red Cross Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and I'm fully insured and bonded. Teaching taught me patience, routine, and how to read what someone needs when they can't say it in words, which is exactly what good pet care takes. Every booking is handled personally by me, so you'll always know who's showing up at your door. I do this full-time, so your pet is a priority, not a side gig. For house sitting I keep your pet on their normal routine, same feeding times, walks, and bedtime, and I send photo and text updates throughout so you can relax while you're away. I follow feeding and medication instructions exactly (I give my own senior dog her meds on a strict schedule, so I take it seriously). Every booking starts with a free meet & greet so your pet and I are comfortable before anything is confirmed. Since I come to you, your pet stays in their own home, familiar surroundings, their own bed and yard, which keeps them calmest, especially seniors and anxious pets. I treat your home with respect: doors locked, mail brought in, plants watered if you'd like, everything left as I found it. I have two dogs of my own, John, a Yorkie, and Lucy, a senior Chihuahua, so I'm comfortable with everything from high-energy pups to gentle senior care.
“Sarah was an excellent sitter for my shy cat while I was away for a couple of days. She came over to meet him and learn the ropes, took care feeding him and cleaning up after him, and was perfectly communicative and trustworthy. I knew he was in good hands the whole time I was gone. Thank you Sarah!”
“Joseph always goes above and beyond as a pet sitter. He is an incredibly good communicator and I know that my dog is being well loved and taken care of under Joseph’s care. My dog is very active and still has lots of puppy energy, but Joseph remains patient with him and makes sure that my dog can safely get his energy out.”

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.
