“Vanessa has been amazing for my pup! He is very wary of strangers and they have formed a great relationship quickly due to Vanessa’s patience with him and respecting his boundaries. He loves when she stops by to play with him and let him out! I would highly recommend Vanessa for your Rover needs!”
“Amy B is the best !! She is so patience and kind with my dog Molly that has special needs. I felt so safe and comfortable when I went out of town . I would take Amy over ,over Thank You Amy !!!”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and have experience with dogs of all sizes including Chihuahuas and Dachshunds to German Shepherds. I currently have a cat of my own and understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets while you’re away. In addition to caring for my own pets, I’ve regularly pet sat for family members, including a high-energy Husky mix who requires daily exercise and attention. I also regularly walk dogs at the Oregon Dog Rescue. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules, administering basic medications, and working with reactive dogs. When caring for your pet, I prioritize reliability, communication, and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. You’ll receive regular updates and photos so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, play sessions, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion around, I’m happy to tailor my care to what makes them most comfortable. I work full-time during weekdays, which allows me to provide reliable morning, evening, and weekend pet care. Dog walks, drop-in visits and house sitting are a great fit for my schedule, and I make it a priority to maintain your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I often have the ability to work remotely for a more flexible schedule. Whether your pet needs walks, feeding, playtime, medications, or simply companionship, I’m happy to accommodate their individual needs. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can stay connected while you’re away! I understand that trusting someone with your pet and home is a big decision. When caring for pets, I follow all instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special requirements. My goal is to keep your pet comfortable and maintain their normal routine while you’re away. I treat every home with respect and will keep you updated with messages and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Elizabeth cared for my baby girl very well and made sure she had access to food, water, and a clean litterbox to use. I will definitely consider using her services next time I have to leave my cat home alone.”
“Whitney is incredible! She dropped in to walk our two dogs twice a day while we were out of town. She was very thorough with her check ins and I felt great leaving them in her hands. Would highly recommend Whitney!”
“I had a great experience with Kayley doing drop in visits with my cats while I was out of town. She was very responsive with great communication, helped with not only cat tasks but also household things like the garden, and was great about sending updates and photos! I will plan to work with her again and had no complaints!”
“Sierra was a fantastic sitter to my cats. She was friendly, attentive, responsive & timely and completed all care tasks really well! My cats appeared to enjoy her company too per the update photos! Would recommend & book with Sierra again!”
About: I've had many dogs of my own over the years. Different sizes and different breeds, they all had their own personality. I'm always happiest if a dog is in the room. I have been working as a professional pet sitter the past few years. It has been one of my most rewarding jobs. I have cared for many dogs and cats, all with their own personalities and needs. I also have experience with birds and reptiles. We currently have a Green cheek conure and a Bearded Dragon in our home. Let me know your pet's needs and we will figure out a plan from there. Melissa I offer drop in visits at your home only at this time. I am very flexible and can accommodate most schedules. Let me know what you need. I have taken care of many animals in the comfort of their own home. It has worked well for animals that feel best staying home when you are traveling.
About: We provide a safe, cozy, low-stress environment so your pup feels comfortable, relaxed, and truly at home while you’re away. Lots of attention, familiar routines, and genuine care. Pet care fits naturally into our daily and weekly routine. One of us works from home, so dogs are rarely left alone and get plenty of attention throughout the day. We also have two teen girls who love helping with care — extra cuddles, playtime, and lots of love included. Daily walks are part of our routine, along with a calm, cozy home environment where pups feel safe and spoiled. We care for pets as if they’re part of our family. In our home, dogs enjoy a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time, plenty of supervision, and a calm, comfortable environment. Since we don’t currently have pets of our own, your dog gets our full attention — from playtime and walks to cuddles and downtime. Our goal is always to keep your pup feeling secure, relaxed, and right at home.
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of experience caring for dogs and cats. I’ve previously walked dogs through Rover, cared for dogs in my own home, and grown up around family pets. I also raised my own cat from a kitten, which taught me just how much love and attention our furry friends need <3 I’m doing pet care full time, so I can dedicate my time and attention to making sure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved! Whether we’re going on walks, spending time playing, or just enjoying some cuddles, I’ll ensure every pet in my care to feel right at home. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family members. I can’t wait to meet you and your pets! 🐾💕 I’m doing pet care full-time, which means I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! I’m able to plan my day around their routines, if that means walks, drop ins, feeding, or keeping them company. I’ll ensure your pets get the attention they deserve while you’re away. 🐾 I have a spacious backyard for dogs to play and enjoy some outdoor time, along with a walkable neighborhood and Gabriel Park and Metzger Park nearby for walks and exploring! I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine and tailor our time together to their personality and needs!
About: I’ve always had a soft spot for animals and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and their little personality. I want them to feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while their owners are away, whether that means lots of playtime and attention or simply keeping them company and giving them their space. I always follow their usual routine and make sure they have a clean and comfortable environment. I also love keeping owners updated and sending plenty of pictures, so you can still see what your pet is up to and know they’re happy and being well taken care of while you’re away. I currently work from home, so I have pretty open availability throughout the week and can be flexible with your pet’s schedule. Being home also gives me plenty of time to give them attention, check in on them throughout the day, and keep up with their normal routine. I know every cat is different, so I always follow the owner’s instructions and try to keep their routine as normal as possible. I make sure they have fresh food and water, a clean litter box, and a safe and comfortable space. I’m also careful with doors and windows, especially with cats who like to sneak outside. I’ll always respect your home and keep you updated while you’re away.
About: Never in my life have I not been surrounded by a dog, cat, lizard or fish! It’s my dream to own every kind of animal I can fit in my home. All animals deserve attention and affection and they all are more intelligent than people understand! I’m able to notice the smallest details about them and be able to treat them accordingly!! I am currently in the process of looking for jobs but I would love to have a full time job and be able to house/pet sit in the evening/on weekends! I have a beautiful backyard and play area. I have a safe cul-de-sac with many walking trails in the neighborhood! I’m 5 minute walk from a park as well! I’d love to go out at least once daily with them for play time but that doesn’t stop me from enjoying it indoors as well.
About: I have owned and trained "difficult breed" dogs, I have a cat or two at a time, I have also owned reptiles and raised rodents. I love our fur family and would love to have your friend over for company!😉 I'm always home (thankfully!) I would have a scedual like this; .5 mile walk morning and evening, mid day outside play, and a warm lap or blanket before bed. Food will be provided as directed or once a day along with open water bar, happy hour all day. I have a fenced yard with lots of grass to roll in. Your best friend can hang by the pool, in the grass, or in the shade. Let's do a weekend sometime!
“Lucinda is the best of the best! My kitty immediately fell in love with her. We will absolutely be checking her availability first before anyone else. Thank you so much for your care and attention. She really is as great as everyone says!”
About: I have cared for dogs for a decade and have always had cats. I have been a foster mom for dogs, cats, and kittens for several rescues. I have a lot of flexibility to watch your pets. Happy to walk, feed, and love on your animals, stay overnights, or keep them at my house. My partner works from home so there is an additional person to love on your animals and watch them if I step out. I have a large fenced-in back yard that's great for doggy playtime! I have indoor/outdoor cats that keep to themselves. If your animals are cat friendly they are happy to mingle, but also have plenty of space to keep them separate. I typically only watch animals from one household at a time, with exception if they're very friendly with others and everyone feels comfortable.
“I can't say enough good things about Lindsay! She cared for my dogs (one is a puppy) on Saturday while we attended a wedding, and her understanding, thoroughness, and genuine love for animals gave me complete peace of mind. I was able to fully enjoy the evening without a single worry about my furry children. Thank you, Lindsay for being amazing! We'll definitely be booking again! :)”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Norwood
We booked Kristen on short notice after our sitter canceled on us. Oliver (our cat) is diabetic, so that comes with some additional responsibilities for a cat sitter. Kristen was so communicative and on top of everything for care. She asked questions to make sure she understood what to do. She also sent so many pictures and gave Oliver lots of cuddles. Highly recommend due to her friendly demeanor, reliability, and responsiveness!
Our pups are always so excited to see their sitters! And they roll with the sheer volume of happy that comes with giant breed dogs. Caring and dog savvy, highly recommend. Fast and clear communication. Flexible and receptive to scheduling changes and a great sense of humor makes it fun to navigate the challenges of traveling and being confident our pets are in capable caring hands
Shelby was so great! My previous pet care fell through last minute and Shelby was very responsive and came to do a meet-and-greet with my senior kitty Aries. Shelby was very professional and took amazing care of my shy and timid kitty, could not recommend her more!
Roger and his family took wonderful care of our cat while we were gone. They are trustworthy, reliable, friendly and a very caring family. They took daily pictures and videos and they were very observant as to describing our kitty's behavior and idiosyncrasies. We are so happy to have found them. I would highly recommend them.
We can't say enough good things about our experience working with Deborah! This was our first big trip since one of our cats went through some serious health scares this year, so we were anxious about leaving them for this extended trip. After meeting Deborah though, it became clear that she is such a thoughtful, caring cat sitter and that we'd have nothing to worry about. The cats were immediately at ease with her, and she was so committed to understanding our cats' specific needs (including giving meds, tracking weight, and working with our vet tech to administer subcutaneous fluids). During the trip she sent us regular detailed updates and made sure to ask questions whenever any of the directions we left were unclear. We loved receiving so many wonderful photos and videos of the cats playing with Deborah - it allowed us to fully enjoy our time with family seeing how much love and care our kitties were getting over the holidays (especially our one cat that is typically so shy with new people!). Returning home, it's as if we never left. The kitties were so relaxed (clearly having received so much love and attention from Deborah) and the home was neat and tidy. Our medically challenged boy somehow had more energy than before we left! Whether you have young or senior kitties, and whether you need drop-in visits or long-term care, we can't recommend Deborah enough. She is truly a cat whisperer, and we are so grateful we found her! We will 100% be asking her for help again during any future travel. Thank you for everything Deborah!

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.
