“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!”
“Even after a snowstorm, Brooke showed up for my two cats! Very dependable and great communication! I used Rover because my original sitter bailed at the last minute. It was easy to set up and communicate with people nearby to help out! Brooke came through first and I was so relieved! I am so grateful and would definitely ask her 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”
“We had reached out to Kirstin last minute and she could not have been nicer or more accommodating plus she was great with our silly boy, Mosley. She sent us updates and pictures each time she dropped in for a visit. Her communication regarding Mo was just what we needed to feel comfortable, that he was being well taken care of while we were away. Additionally, Kirstin was quick to respond to all of our messages (before, during and after our trip). We highly recommend Kirstins’ pet sitting services and look forward to booking with her again in the near future! Thanks Kirstin!🐾”
“I could never say enough about Delaney’s sense of responsibility, care for Bailey and Dabby, and her great pet sitting work ethic. Jen and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!”
“Kim was great with our pets while we were away. She gave us updates all day, everyday, with photos and kind words. I would say she sometimes went above and beyond what was being asked of her. I would absolutely recommend Kim to any who has issues trusting others with their pets!”
“Lana did an amazing job with my boys. Very caring and attentive. She followed all instructions and I was at ease. Many photos were sent and I was informed of their daily activities.”
About: I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember and have had both dogs and cats throughout my life. I’ve always had a love for animals and I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to care for your pets while you’re away. While stationed in Germany, I regularly cared for the pets of military spouses and families. This gave me experience caring for cats and dogs of all ages and personalities! I also have experience caring for pets with specific needs, including dogs and cats that require medication. I’m very comfortable following detailed instructions from owners and making sure medications, routines, feeding schedules, and other care needs are handled properly. Most importantly, I know every pet is different & I always take the time to make sure they’re comfortable, while also giving them the same love, attention, and dependable care I would want for my own pets. I’m happy to work with you to schedule visits, walks, or other care based on what works best for you and your pet! I know consistency is important, so I always do my best to keep schedules as familiar and comfortable as possible while your pet is in my care. I want every pet I care for to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owner is away. Whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours, I’ll treat them like I would my own. I’m mindful about things like keeping doors secure, staying on top of feeding and medication schedules, and making sure they get plenty of attention. I’m also happy to send pictures and updates along the way so you can relax knowing your furry friend is in good hands.
“Meghan was amazing! Reliable, caring, and very attentive. She made sure everything was taken care of and gave our cats great company while we were away. We came home to happy cats and a clean space. Highly recommend her!”
“We had a great experience with Heather taking care of our cats while we were away. She was able to visit them a couple times a day, which really put our mind at ease. Heather was prompt, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout our trip. Highly recommend!”

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.

I’m patient, attentive, and experienced in caring for both pets and children over the last 5 years, which makes me very responsible and dependable. I treat every pet like my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for 🐾 I can take dogs on a walk after 5pm weekday and usually anytime on the weekends also dropping by to do potty breaks at those same times or feedings, as well as clean litter boxes feed cats or kittens and play with any and all of them! I have a specific room for my foster dogs thats if in any case they just dont like my dog they dont have to be with him and i crate and rotate so everyone in my home gets lots of love
About: I have been taking care of dogs my entire life and have owned five dogs over the years. I have experience with Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, Dachshunds, Terriers, and Chiweenies. Having cared for dogs throughout my life, I understand how to properly care for our four-legged companions and am committed to ensuring they are happy, healthy, and well looked after. I am available Friday through Sunday, as well as before and after my college classes Monday through Thursday. I also have flexibility around my part-time job at a food restaurant, allowing me plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your four-legged companions. Caring for pets is something I truly enjoy, and I will treat them with the same love and attention I give my own. I live near two dog parks in a walkable area, making it easy to provide your four-legged companion with plenty of exercise when needed. I also have a variety of dog toys to keep them entertained and engaged. If I am caring for your pet in your home, I will bring dog waste bags and a few of their favorite toys—or some of my own—to ensure they have a fun and comfortable experience.
“Sarah did an amazing job watching our cat Ghost. She fed him, gave him meds, changed his litter, and changed his water twice a day. Also, gave plenty of pets and some brushing. We were also given updates on his eating and litter box habits and got plenty of photos. His area was nice and clean and he was a happy boy when we got home. Would 100% recommend!”
About: I have been caring for animals since I was 10 years old, in my neighborhood. That started my extensive experience with animal care/handling. I have worked at animal hospitals, shelters, spca, animal control, boarding facilities, and Philadelphia zoo. These different environments allowed me to gain experience with all different ages of animals and species. I also had to administer medication, vaccinations, bladder expressions and other treatment required for the care of the aminals. This experience gave me the knowledge to use many preventative measures to keep the animals safe. I have a passion for caring for animals. I understand them, this allows me to provide the best care possible. Let me help you with keeping your furr babies comfortable in their own daily routine. I work Rover full-time currently. I have plenty of time to care for your furr babies. Schedule is open, so I'm flexible with the hours needed for care. I have a fenced play area in the community I live. Separate feeding for everyone and if anyone gets over stimulated I will crate them to allow them to calm down then we will move on to the next activity or relaxing time.
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. I'm a high school teacher, who can be free to come to your house as of 3pm for walks or to take care of your babies. I am available most weekends. I will follow any requests of the owners, but definitely enjoy a good walk with puppies (all dogs are puppies in my world). Cuddles and talks with your animal are essential to helping them feel safe while mom and dad are away. Your babies and home will be in good hands with me.
“Kevin is great! He took care of our two dogs over a holiday and was right on time, always left an update, and the dogs seem to be happy! I would recommend Kevin to take care of anybody’s pets.”
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.
