“I am truly grateful for Areial for cat sitting. My cat got locked in the closet and I message her if she can come at her earliest convenience, and she came so early to release my cat. In addition, my cats love her and feel very comfortable with her. I highly recommend her service!”
“Not only did Elyssa answer a last minute request for help, she went above and beyond. My senior dog had an accident and she was quick to help get it cleaned up. My dogs have weird food requests, and she didn’t even give it a second thought. I so appreciate Elyssa and the help she was able to offer me, and the love she showed my sweet boys!”
“Aleksandra was nothing short of amazing! We booked on a super short notice and we got so lucky she was able to visit our girl three times! Lots of photos, great communication, and very friendly! Will definitely be booking with her every single time we go out of town and hope she will be available.”
“Sarah is super sweet and very reliable. My long-haired cat loved her. She is very flexible and communicates quickly and efficiently. I'll definitely use her services again.”
“Jennifer made a great impression with her first visit. Arrived on time, followed all instructions for taking care of my cat for several days. I could tell from the pictures she sent that Kitty trusted her. I will definitely use Jennifer again”
“Kathryn was so kind and flexible as well as being completely adored by my dogs! Truly appreciated her ability to work within my schedule and will definitely have her help again.”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and truly love caring for them like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from energetic pups who need plenty of playtime to older dogs who prefer a little extra patience and attention. I’m dependable, attentive, and happy to help with walks, feeding, playtime, basic routines, and lots of love and cuddles. My goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away! I recently stepped away from the corporate world to take a break and enjoy a slower pace of life, which means I have very open and flexible availability! I’m available throughout the week and on weekends for walks, drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. I’d love to spend some of that extra time caring for your pups! I have a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room for running, playing, and exploring, plus a pool if your pup enjoys swimming! I also have three sweet, friendly dogs who love having new friends to play with. I’m happy to follow your pet’s normal routine, feeding schedule, and any special instructions to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was around 6 years old, always having a family dog around to look after or helping other family members with their animals. I’m also acquainted with senior and special needs care for cats, as my last cat dealt with needing daily medications and monitoring.

About: I have worked with animals my whole life. I absolutely adore animals, any animals! I use to work with my aunt at the clinic she works at helping her care, feed, water, clean and play with the animals that would board there. I also help her with the animals that she fosters. I do lots of research on animals and learn how to handle them and care for them. I am pretty acknowledged with animals. I know different types of breeds and their behaviors and the care they need. I would be an awesome candidate to care for your animals because I would love and treat them as my own and put their needs above mine, it would be a dream to care for any and all of your animals! Please don't hesitate to ask me anything! I am available anytime to help you and your animals! I absolutely love caring for animals and it’s all I want to do! I have a pretty flexible schedule at the moment. I live in an apartment that is fenced in and on the bottom floor so your pet will be very safe! I do home visits as well!
“This was our first experience working with a pet sitter who wasn’t a family member stopping by while we are away. Janine was great with our fur babies and we were able to enjoy our time away without worry. She even checked in after her last visit to make sure we were on schedule to make it back home as planned. I also appreciate the tips and info for doggie products as well as more practical ways to improve our daily routine with our fur babies. We definitely hope to continue to work with her in the future!”
“Dorothy was kind, friendly, and so easy to work with! She made sure to keep me updated throughout the stay and sent me updates that gave me peace of mind knowing my dog was in good hands. She was very attentive and caring, and I really appreciated how communicative she was. I would definitely recommend Dorothy and would be happy to have her watch my dog again!”
About: Hello, I’m Aidan and I’m here to make some new buddies! I’ve been caring for animals for as long as I can remember. From parrots and bearded dragons to German shepherds, I’m obsessed with anything with a beating heart. I’m currently enrolled at TVCC and school has been great. In my future I see myself doing animal rehabilitation and research. My school schedule allows me to be able to do school while taking care of your animals! Super helpful! Thanks you for taking time to read this. If you’re looking for a honest and caring friend for your pet, i’m your guy! My schedule is incredibly flexible. I always make time for my responsibilities and take it as a privilege to take care of these animals. I’m currently enrolled in college but I’m great at managing time for that. Work scheduled would be any day any time. I have 2 tiny dogs and one huge cat. My dogs are on a strict diet of open farm dog food and beef broth. I’ve gotten used to caring for animals with stomach issues because my dogs are the same.

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.
