“We had Sarah come for two 30 minute visits Thanksgiving so we could participate in the family fun. We have a 1.5 year old very active Labradoodle so we needed someone who would play with and buddy up to Lindy. This was the first time having Sarah watch and check on our girls. We knew after the initial meet and greet we had picked a winner since she has a large dog of her own and a bubbly personality. The visit went great. Sarah was prompt on the visiting times and asked many questions during the first visit to make sure we were happy with the job she was providing. From the pictures we got they had a fun time playing ball in the yard together ! Glad we have someone close and flexible that can help as a surrogate. We will use her services again before Christmas and are conifers our babies will be in loving hands.”

“Laura does a wonderful job with our kitties and goes above and beyond by taking in our mail and even helped put away our frozen dog food delivery which is big and heavy to have to lug in from the porch and down stairs. We’re repeat customers and highly recommend her to take care of your fur family while you’re away.”

“Megan is an amazing sitter who took great care of my special needs dog when I had to leave town for work. She gave him his insulin without any issues and gave me great notes on how the visit went. She went above and beyond in every visit and she is at the top of my list for future needs. She really kept my heart at ease when I couldn’t be home and made me feel good about leaving him in her care.”

About: I grew up with dogs of all ages, and have a special place in my heart for senior dogs! I discovered my love for cats later in life and have enjoyed getting to know how to interact with them. I work from home, and enjoy getting out of the house to visit and take walks. I can do any time of day as well! Whether you have a fenced in yard, a dog who loves adventure, or a major couch potato, I can adjust to your pets environment and give them lots of love.

About: What sets me apart from other pet sitters is my genuine passion and dedication to animals. Caring for dogs and cats isn't just a job for me—it's what I want to dedicate my life to. I currently serve as the General Manager of a pet lodge, where I've worked since July 2024. Prior to that, I gained valuable experience at both an animal hospital and another boarding facility. I have hands-on experience caring for puppies, senior pets, and everything in between, as well as dogs of all breeds and sizes and cats of all personalities. I am comfortable administering a wide variety of medications, including pills, tablets, insulin injections, eye medications, ear medications, and more. I take immense pride in providing exceptional care and treating every pet as if they were my own. It would be an honor to care for your furry family members, and I promise they will receive the top-notch, five-star care, attention, and love they deserve. I am currently the General Manager of a boarding, daycare, and grooming facility, where I have the opportunity to work with pets and their families every day. While I truly enjoy what I do, my long-term goal is to build something of my own. I am working toward starting my own pet care business and eventually opening my own boarding and daycare facility. My passion for animals and commitment to providing exceptional care drive me to continue learning, growing, and pursuing that dream. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your furry family members. I have four dogs and a cat of my own, so at this time I primarily offer drop-in visits and dog walking services in your home. This allows me to give your pets the attention, exercise, companionship, and care they deserve while keeping them comfortable in their familiar environment. Whether it's a daily walk, playtime, feeding, or simply spending quality time with them, I am committed to making sure your pets feel loved and well cared for while you're away.

About: I have cared for many pets over the years and even worked as a vet technician for some time. I am keen to the needs of animals. I am a stay at home mom, so I'll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I only spent a few hours away each day. I have a fenced in back yard and great neighborhood for walks. I have kids and two dogs so I will need to know if they are good with kids and other pets.

About: I always had animals growing up and they were treated as part of the family. I’ve been a nanny for 15+ years now, and I found a love for pet sitting along the way. I don’t have any kiddos of my own, but I do have my sweet boy Leo who is a rescue mix that turned 6 in April. I have a special place for dogs in my heart, but I love all animals! I work a nanny position Tuesday-Friday from 9-4:30pm. I’m available in the evenings those days and my weekends are completely open as well. I care for one dog and one cat at my current nanny position. I feed all of them breakfast and ensure that the dog gets enough potty breaks and exercise throughout the day. I also make sure that the cat gets some playtime and that all animals stay hydrated. I have also cared for horses!

“Absolutely fantastic experience with our pet sitter, Erika. She did an amazing job caring for my two cats, who are usually very wary of new people. By the end of her time with them, one of my cats even let her hold him which is a huge milestone and really shows how patient, calm, and gentle she was with both of them. Erika was very professional throughout, followed all instructions carefully, and always replied quickly, which really helped ease my stress while I was away. I felt completely confident knowing my two cats were in great hands. I would absolutely book her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for about 10 years, mostly my own (now senior) dogs. I also had a dog who was special needs (partially blind and deaf), and unfortunately passed 3 years ago. I am always open to taking care of your pets! I’m normally the most free every day but Wednesday and do not mind spending the night with your pets! I cannot currently house pets in my own home, but I’m always free to stay at your home! I drive, so only staying for a few hours at a time is also okay. Since I have senior dogs, they often “forget” they went outside, so frequent potty breaks (including in the night) is a must. I also give my dogs medication, so if your pup needs oral medication, I am 100% okay with that.

About: Hi, I’m Nicole! For me, pet care has never been a side job—it’s always been part of who I am. For more than 20 years, I’ve volunteered with veterinary clinics, no-kill shelters, SPCAs, rescue organizations, kennels, and dog daycares, caring for animals of every age, breed, personality, and need. Throughout my life, people have joked that animals are simply drawn to me, and honestly, it’s one of the greatest compliments I could receive. Building trust with them comes naturally, and there’s nothing more rewarding than watching an anxious dog relax, a shy dog gain confidence, or an excited pup light up when they realize it’s time for our next adventure. After spending years as a Business Operations Manager, my company unexpectedly closed after 108 years in business. Rather than simply finding another corporate job, I decided to follow the passion that’s been in my heart all along—devoting my time to caring for animals. This isn’t something I’m squeezing into an already busy schedule. This is my career. My availability is intentionally built around the pets I care for, which means your dog receives my full attention, flexibility, and commitment. Every service I provide is designed as a boutique, concierge experience, thoughtfully tailored to your family’s routine and your pet’s unique personality, needs, and happiness at every turn. Whether we’re exploring a trail, playing enrichment games, keeping routines consistent while you’re away, or simply sharing quiet companionship, my goal is always the same: to make your pet feel safe, understood, loved, and genuinely excited to see me every time I arrive. I don’t want to be someone who just walks your dog or checks a box on your to-do list. I want to become someone your pet trusts, looks forward to, and feels completely comfortable with—while giving you absolute peace of mind knowing they’re being cared for with the same love, patience, and devotion I give my own dogs, Bubba and Pippa, who are truly family to me. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit into my day—it’s what I intentionally make time for. Every service I provide is personalized and thoughtfully tailored to both your pet and your family’s unique routine, preferences, and lifestyle. I take the time to understand what makes your companion feel safe, happy, and comfortable while also making your time away as stress-free as possible. Whether it’s adventure walks, enrichment, puppy or kitten guidance, medication administration, senior support, transportation, or simply maintaining familiar routines, every visit is designed around your pet’s individual needs. My goal is to become a trusted extension of your family, providing dependable, compassionate care and giving you complete peace of mind. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and emotional well-being will always be my highest priorities. Every service I provide is thoughtfully personalized—not just for your pet, but for your entire family. I take time to learn your routines, preferences, house rules, training methods, and expectations so my care feels like a seamless extension of your own. I strictly follow all pet parent instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise limitations, behavioral cues, crate or free-roam preferences, and any special care needs. Consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to maintain the routines they’re already comfortable with. For exercise and enrichment, I carefully choose safe, pet-friendly environments. Depending on your comfort level and your pet’s personality, adventures may include favorite neighborhood walking routes, trusted dog parks, nature trails, or supervised play on a private, family-owned seven-acre property with large, securely fenced areas where dogs can safely explore, sniff, and play. Every outing is tailored to your pet’s age, temperament, energy level, and training. Whether I’m caring for an energetic puppy, a curious cat, a senior companion, or a pet with medical or behavioral needs, I prioritize patience, positive reinforcement, enrichment, and careful observation. You’ll receive thoughtful updates, photos, videos, and honest communication after every visit because I know you’re trusting me with a beloved member of your family. My goal is never to simply “watch” your pet—it’s to become a trusted, familiar friend they genuinely look forward to seeing while giving you complete confidence that they’re receiving the same love, attention, and care I’d give my own.

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 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.

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 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.
