“Courtney was amazing with my cats. She was in contact with me and kept me informed of everything that they were doing. She’s very kind and caring. I will definitely be using her in the future.”
“The reviews don't lie, Gay is absolutely wonderful and very sweet. My kitty warmed up to her immediately and she did an amazing job caring for her while I was out of town. It was such a relief - I can't recommend her highly enough.”
“Joel provided drop in visits for a week while we were on vacation and if we could give him 10 stars out of 5 we would. He is prompt, caring, follows up very quickly with availability and answering questions, and we recommend him to anyone looking for a pet sitter. His flexibility helped us a ton as our request was last minute and we felt a little scattered with our plans. We felt very comfortable, our new kitten loved him and he is extremely knowledgeable! Also, he met with us prior to watching Pearl and answered all our questions. Highly recommend!!”
About: I have over two decades of experience as a pet sitter for clients and friends. Dogs staying with me can expect lots of attention, love and walks. As a devoted companion to your companion you can expect responsive communication, care the way you request it and flexibility in scheduling. I am happy to work with pets who have quirks or special needs and am experienced in giving medication, including insulin. I am available 24/7 and will let you know in advance if there is a scheduling conflict, as far as days or time of day; I can be flexible if your schedule varies or if you extend or shorten your time away. Your pet is my priority. We will take frequent walks and spend the day together; happy to reinforce training, work on socialization, whatever is helpful for you. Care is centered around the needs of each pet, keeping to your pet's routine. My home is a ranch home (one level) with a large yard, nestled in a quiet area free of traffic and perfect for long or short walks. My house is clean and safe and I am set up and happy to do baths, shampoo and conditioner with a blow dry. Care is centered around your pet's routine. Dogs staying here leave happy and perhaps a bit spoiled.
“Kelsey was so helpful in caring for my 6 week old kitten! She was communicative and sent pictures when she checked on him, everything was tidy when I got back home too. Thanks so much! :)”
“We hired Gianna for a couple drop in visits with our 3 dogs. They have very different personalities, and some potential reactivity, but she had no issues whatsoever caring for the 3 boys! She was excellent at following our instructions, and we would highly recommend her in the future!”
“She stopped by for a check in on my dogs while we were out of town. My dogs absolutely loved her, she was very responsive on needs that needed to happen for my dogs and even sent pictures of them! Would definitely recommend her to anyone needing their dogs taken care of!”
About: I’ve always loved animals and enjoy giving pets the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. I’m comfortable caring for pets in their home, taking dogs on walks, and stopping by throughout the day for meals, potty breaks, playtime, and plenty of love. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I’m happy to follow your instructions to keep them comfortable and on schedule. Whether your pet needs an energetic walk, some company while you’re away, or a little extra attention at home, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. I’m reliable, communicative, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. **For first time visits please book at least 3 days in advance so we can make sure we can schedule a meet & greet** I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and house sitting throughout the day. I’m able to work my pet-care schedule around my meetings and work responsibilities, and I’m happy to coordinate with your pet’s routine and needs. I’m especially flexible for daytime walks and drop-ins, as well as house sitting when needed. I’ll always make sure I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention, exercise, and companionship they need while still keeping up with my work commitments. I treat every pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their usual routine. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, walks, medication, playtime, and any other special needs or preferences. Since I work remotely, I’m able to be flexible and provide plenty of companionship throughout the day while working around my meeting schedule. For walks and drop-ins, I’ll make sure your pet gets exercise, attention, potty breaks, and plenty of love. For house sitting, I’ll keep their routine as consistent as possible and make sure they’re never without the care and companionship they’re used to. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for.
“Terry is a caring and attentive cat-sitter that we were delighted to have watching over our 5 cats. It’s not easy to handle the various food patterns and routine that each of our babies prefer, but she handled it with ease and kindness. We cannot say how much we appreciated her - she gave us detailed updates and made sure everyone was comfortable and happy while we were out for a week. Thank you!!”
“Sierra was so amazing with our pets!!! She was the first sitter we ever hired to watch our animals, and I’m so glad that she made our first experience on rover a good one. I was so worried about my cats getting out until I met her, but she was willing to do a meet and greet before hand and she sent me so many cute pictures of them during our time away! I’m so sad that she won’t be in my area anymore 😭 to whoever books her next, your babies are in good hands!!!”
“Brandon was great! I knew he was going to be great fit since the meet and greet. Our dog Benji loves him. Milo will take a bit of time but I'm sure over the next few visits Brandon will win him over too.”
“Randy was terrific! He was very responsive, dependable and took great care of our two cats. He played with them, fed them and cleaned their litter box. He went above and beyond!”
“Flora was the ideal for what I was hoping to find in this app! She was attentive and obviously very sweet to my boy - he was so sad to see her go! I appreciate how communicative and helpful she was, and look forward to having her back soon.”
About: I have owned and cared for more than 50 animals in my 38 years 🥰 I currently have a 3 year old cat, a 2 year old cat, and a 1 year old cat. I had 2 dogs over the course of almost 19 years (12 years old and 16 years old when they passed). I grew up with skunks, cats, dogs, hamsters, lizards, and more. I also have been fostering with local rescues for more than 10 years. Overall, I am just a big animal lover and find joy in watching other people's fur babies 🥰 I work from home full time, which allows me to have a flexible schedule. Evenings, weekends, and overnights can also be arranged. If you need anything overnight I prefer to stay at your home with your pets so they are comfortable and can stay in their normal routine. Let's discuss your needs! I am happy to follow whatever instructions you have for me to care for your furbabies! I know each pet is different. Generally, dogs go out to potty several times a day, as well as need fresh food and water daily. Cats also need fresh food and water daily, plus cleaning their litter boxes at least once a day.
“Matthew did a great job with his drop in visits with Archie while I was working and my husband was away. Matthew was very timely and great at communicating. Archie enjoyed his time with Matthew and I look forward to booking him again!”
“Shay is an absolutely amazing caretaker for my two senior dogs. They adore her and the extra care she gives them and being able to work with my ever changing schedule gives me so much peace of mind!”
About: While growing up, I fed, watered, played with, and walked our family friends. I even picked up poop! As an adult, I've done it all, from cleaning major messes to administering meds. I love canines and felines of all varieties, from the smallest to the largest! I am available to care for your pet(s) throughout the business day. Although I am also doing some volunteer work, I keep a regular schedule. I will care for your pets according to your express instructions. They will be treated as my own with as much love and concern as I can provide.

Joel was a great sitter. Did a wonderful job with our cats. Sent pictures every day of one of the cats, which we love seeing. On top of keeping in contact with us before we left to get instructions and updates on our upcoming vacation, and while we were on vacation. We highly recommend Joel as a sitter. Salli and Andy

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.

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 use the 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.
