“Caroline is AMAZING!! I truly cannot say enough good things about how wonderful of a pet sitter she is! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away and I could feel all the love he was getting from her!! She gave me updates and pictures daily that made me so happy! I will rebook with her now every time and I’m telling all my family and friends to use her!”
“Amy is the best! Great communication and she helped us with a few house issues while we were away too. We felt great knowing our fur baby was in good hands. We’ll definitely book Amy again!!!!”
“Allie did an amazing job looking after our 3 cats; Kimchi, Miso, and Bento! Kimchi suddenly needed medicine right before our trip and Allie had no issues giving him his pills. The daily pictures were awesome and she even took Kimchi out for walks on his harness, which was totally unexpected but he loved! Great job looking after our cats. We would absolutely book again and recommend to others”

About: I grew up with 2 dogs in my family and helped take care of them. I also took care of, and played with, my friend’s dogs. I love dogs and enjoy caring for them. I am looking to make extra money. I get along with dogs very easily and love meeting new ones. I am available any time, both weekdays and weekends. I live in an apartment complex with one flight of stairs. The most important thing I do for pets is to follow their routine. I like to spend time playing with the animals, but also making sure they are getting the walks they are used to and meals at their regular time. I prefer caring for pets in their own home, so they are in familiar surroundings. I am an athletic trainer. I mostly work nights from 3-8 and sometimes on weekends. I live with my boyfriends and he works morning and is willing to help take care of animals! I live in an apartment complex with one flight of stairs. They are carpet and I am willing to pick animals up to help them if they have a tough time with stairs.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and spent several years as a vet tech. I’ve been raised with labradors, hounds, and all kinds of mixes! I have over 10 years of experience pet sitting and want to provide a loving environment for your loved ones while you’re away. I have experience with dogs of all different sizes and personalities and make sure to give them all the love they deserve! I am a Realtor and also work 4 days a week in an office. During the weekends I am typically home most of the day. I want every pet to feel safe and secure always. I live with my husband who is also an animal lover. I’ll be sure to provide pictures, videos, and updates so you know your pup is having a great time.
About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience with both energetic puppies and gentle senior pets. I am highly attentive to strict medication schedules, dietary needs, and behavioral training. I treat every animal with the patience, love, and dedicated care they truly deserve. I am currently starting my own art business so I will have plenty of time to take breaks and care for your dogs in any way. I have a dog—a Maltipoo named Sally. I also have experience caring for friends' and neighbors' pets while they were away on vacations and trips. When sitting, I strictly follow the owner's routine for feeding, walking, and playtime to ensure the pets feel safe and comfortable.
About: I’ve cared for multiple dogs, including my own senior dog that had passed. Family and friends have trusted me to board their dogs, and I’ve provided feeding, medication when needed, bathroom breaks, playtime, and lots of care and attention to keep them happy and comfortable. I’m currently working full time Monday-Friday until 4pm. If you are needing to drop off your pup on Friday before 4, my mom would be home to help until I get home. I would only be available in the evenings during the week if needed. I have a fenced backyard where they can play, and food/water bowls to help dogs feel comfortable during their stay. Whether I’m caring for dogs in my home or a client’s home, I make sure they have everything they need and receive plenty of attention, care, and are comfortable with me.
“Erin was great for us. We had never used Rover before booking with Erin so we were not sure what to expect but she went over everything before hand and set up a meet and greet which was very reassuring. Erin was super thoughtful and thorough throughout which was very much appreciated. We would absolutely rebook with Erin in the future as she was one of the best pet sitters we have ever had.”

My boyfriend Leo and I strive to developed relationship with your pet, and find out what makes them happy while your away. (Dog park, ball toss, or over all playing in the yard) and of course cuddles!

About: I've owned dogs and cats since I was ten. I currently have three dogs (one of whom is a senior dog) and two cats. I love walking any dogs and playing in the backyard with them. I've been a volunteer at Last Chance Ranch in Quakertown for the past two years, during which I work with dogs who are happy and wiggly and those who are hesitant, sick or scared. I'm also a mom of two students, an honor student entering college and an honor athlete entering her junior year (so I know how to raise kids too!! :-) ) I look forward to taking care of your babies like I take care of my own.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oak Park
I needed a drop in at the last minute because of a cancelled surgery in which my dog was home recovering from anesthesia. I was lucky that Amy was able to accomodate. Professional, a good listener, followed my directions, good w my dog, and gave me updates, I felt comfortable leaving my dog in her hands. Thank you!
Alicia dropped in to feed and walk my pups while I was away for a class. We’re staying in a trailer and she was very accommodating in handling temperature and propane concerns and she even took the time to give me detailed directions on the best way to get to NYC. We’ll definitely book again!
Caroline is AMAZING!! I truly cannot say enough good things about how wonderful of a pet sitter she is! She took such amazing care of my cat while I was away and I could feel all the love he was getting from her!! She gave me updates and pictures daily that made me so happy! I will rebook with her now every time and I’m telling all my family and friends to use her!
Nick was a great pet sitter. We used her services for drop-in visits to walk and feed our high-energy mini golden doodle. Nick has animals of her own and was not fazed by our dog’s energetic antics. I appreciated her communication efforts and received multiple photos and videos to assure me our dog was doing well. I would highly recommend her services to any other pet owners looking for someone reliable who truly loves animals.
Liz is Awesome !!!L Liz has a great personality and It was immediately obvious that she loves cats and was totally comfortable approaching our Atticus. Atticus is usually very hesitant around people but he took to her right away, purring and rubbing up against her. We felt very comfortable with Liz and we know our baby is in Great Hands !!! We look forward to scheduling her again...!!!
This was our first time using Rover, and we feel so lucky to have found Kelly! She was kind enough to accept our last-minute request, and from the moment we met her, we felt completely at ease. Our dogs absolutely loved her, and it was clear that they were in great hands. Kelly took wonderful care of them and made sure they were happy, comfortable, and well looked after. We would definitely recommend Kelly to anyone looking for a caring, reliable, and trustworthy dog sitter. We’ll certainly be reaching out to her again in the future!
Delaney was absolutely wonderful! She took amazing care of my two very shy cats while I was away for a week. I was so impressed with her patience and kindness, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making them feel comfortable. She also went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and packages, which I really appreciated. Coming home to happy, well-cared-for cats and knowing my home had been looked after gave me complete peace of mind. Delaney is dependable, thoughtful, and you can tell that she truly loves animals. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Emma was fabulous. I was away for 10 days and she did drop ins on my cat Mittens. She went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and watering my plants. She messaged me daily along with a photos. It is a relief to have met Emma and know that when I am away in future I can leave my pet without worry. You will not be disappointed if you book with Emma!

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.
