“Faith was absolutely amazing. As a neurotic pet parent with no supports in the area, I don’t know what I would do without her and the peace of mind I was able to have while I was away. Faith was great with communicating with me and went above and beyond during her visits. She’s also a great photographer and got some pictures that added major wellness points for me! Would 10/10 recommend!”
“Madison was a fantastic sitter. She took excellent care of our three cats, was responsible, and communicated effectively. She even watered some plants for me, which I greatly appreciated. We would definitely work with her again.”
“Needed last minute help with potty break coverage while at work and Adam was great! Followed my super long (and likely overwhelming) instructions and my doggies were grateful for the visit!”
“I have two very demanding dogs and Razan works so well with them. I have used her multiple times and she is the best dog sitter I have used so far. I can’t recommend her enough. She saved me many times.”
“Whitney was amazing! She watched our bunny while we were out of town for a week, and he was so well cared for. I appreciate how thorough and caring she is, and I’ll absolutely be booking with her again. I highly recommend booking with her!”
“Diane is amazing! It's clear she loves cats and gave my two girls so much love and attention! I've had a rough time finding a good cat sitter and Diane calmed all the anxieties I've had with leaving my cats in someone else's care. Thank you Diane!”
“Our rescue has some anxiety and reactivity issues and another sitter told us they wouldn't be able to handle him. Bridgette did a great job getting to know him, gave us timely updates for every drop-in visit, and by the end we were even a little afraid he might start to love her more than us! Definitely recommend”
“Meisha took suck great care of our cat while we were gone. I appreciated that she sent multiple photos each day, and I can tell from the photos that our cat loved her! We are hoping to book with Meisha again next time we go out of town.”
“Alayna took great care of my pups on a stressful day! I was very thankful for her expertise, I definitely recommend her to anyone who needs help with their animals!”
“Angelica was recommended to us by our normal cat sitter when she wasn’t available. She did a great job filling in and took charge of coordinating with our normal cat sitter for details since we were unavailable on travel. Thanks for the help!”
About: I recently have had 4 pets. two dogs and two cats . unfortunately our cats have passed away unexpectedly. I’ve been missing the love and excitement of having many pets i’m looking to be around pets again and getting to spend time with them! HELLO!! I currently work as needed for my caregiving job. i’m looking for any hours I’m very flexible and can pickup shifts whenever needed !! I prefer to go to the other person’s house because we have 2 dogs and a full house that bringing pets here wouldn’t mesh very well!
“Hayley watched our 18+ year old kitty while we were on vacation. Gave him his meds twice per day, fed him and gave him lots of love. We were very comfortable while on vacation knowing that he was in great hands. We will call upon Hayley again in the near future to take care of our baby (senior :) )”
About: If I had to choose between a room full of people and a room full of animals, I’m choosing the animals. Every single time. I’ve been an animal person for as long as I can remember, and I genuinely believe that caring for someone’s pet is a huge responsibility. I have two beloved cats of my own who are my entire world, so I know firsthand how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I don’t take that trust lightly. My cats are strictly indoor cats, and I’m extremely attentive to keeping them safe and secure. I know how important it is to follow each pet’s specific routine and boundaries—from making sure doors are never accidentally left open to keeping potential hazards out of reach. The little details matter, and when it comes to animals, I’m pretty obsessive about them. I’m the person who notices if your pet’s water bowl is getting low, double-checks the door before leaving, makes sure there isn’t a rogue hair tie or piece of string within reach, and will happily send you way too many photos because I know you want to see your fur baby. 🙂 I’m naturally very organized, attentive, and probably a little Type A when it comes to animal safety and wellbeing, which is exactly how I think it should be! I also have a huge soft spot for pit bulls. I absolutely adore their goofy, sweet, big-hearted personalities. But honestly, I love creatures of all kinds. I’m the person who will carefully escort a spider outside rather than squish it. Every animal deserves kindness, patience, and respect. During the week, I work from home in a corporate role, which gives me flexibility in my schedule and allows me to be available for walks, drop-ins, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m reliable, communicative, and will treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would expect from someone caring for my own. Whether your pet is a social butterfly who wants to play, a couch potato who just wants company, or a little more cautious and needs someone to earn their trust, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Your pets are FAMILY. And I’d be honored to take care of yours. 💚🐾 I work from home in a corporate role Monday-Friday, so I have a flexible schedule and availability throughout the day. I can accommodate walks, drop-ins, and house sitting, and I’m happy to work around your pet’s normal routine. I love having animals as part of my day, so they’ll get plenty of attention, playtime, and companionship rather than being left alone for long stretches. I’m extremely detail-oriented when it comes to animal safety and care. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding, medications, walks, and any specific instructions you leave. I’m especially mindful of doors, gates, leashes, and potential hazards, and I’ll always treat your home and your pets with the same care I would my own. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away. My two cats are strictly outdoors and not once have they ever gotten out, nor have I ever not been aware of where they are at all times.
About: I have raised my German Shepherd since she was a puppy and trained her myself. We got compliments all of the time for her well behaved and nice selection of tricks. I grew up with cats as well and know that it takes some time to adjust to someone new, as I respect animals need for that period of adjustment. I have a genuine love for animals. I currently have two orange cats, Pumpkin and Butternut who are spoiled rotten. I’d love a chance to spoil your fur baby! I am currently a full time student at SLCC in the nursing program. I attend class every Wednesday and Friday from 8am-12pm which would be the only time I am unavailable during a typical week! If booking on a Wednesday or Friday morning, I would have to guarantee enough time for me to be at class on time. I am currently not offering boarding services, but I am offering house sitting services. I live in a townhome with no yard and have two cats that are not a fan of dogs.
About: I’m a dog lover and will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are cared for! I will make sure they get the upmost treatment while you are away. My schedule is very flexible! Let me know what your schedule needs are and we can make a plan that best suits you and your pets needs! I can take your dog on leashed walks, playtime to dog parks, or whatever the need is. I’m a trustworthy and reliable person who will go beyond what is asked to ensure your dog is happy and safe!
About: I grew up with an Anatolian shepherd lab mix and 2 cats and have been sitting/dog walking for friends and family for the last 10 years! I currently have 2 cats at home who were raised with a 50 pound dog, so I get the perfect mix of both worlds!! Especially when my cats try to bark at the front door and rip up their toys. I can’t wait to meet your best friends! I work early mornings to afternoons, so I am free to drop by first thing in the morning, afternoon, or late at night depending on your needs! I’m flexible for those situations where you can’t be home and just want the peace of mind knowing what your pets are up to! I would treat your pets as I do at home. I would never let your pets live in a situation that I wouldn’t be comfortable with myself! I’m here to make sure the time without their owners feels shorter
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakdale
I can tell my 14 year old baby Hope really enjoys your drop ins while we are out. The pictures and videos you send, Hope acts like she has known you for years. So calm and sweet to her. You already know what her favorite things are haha. Highly recommend and will continue to schedule. Thanks Lyndi!! 💜
Razan has been amazing with my girl. She helped me out by watching her for a weekend, but has become one of my go-to let out people during my long work days. She’s always sure to send pictures and videos as well as updates on how Cal is doing. In addition, my senior lady has some anxiety (especially after some recent moves) and tends to get into things. After she knocked over my trash can and spread the contents throughout the house, Razan happily cleaned it up for me as I was still stuck at work for the next few hours. Happy to have her helping us out and providing care for my girl while I’m away on trips or long work days.
Very great communication and most of all I felt comfortable leaving my Zara with her. Diana knew all of the right questions to ask and was very courteous with keeping the house clean. Zara does not like most sitters and somehow Diana was able to get her to come out, play, and receive treats which made me so happy. We will definitely book again!
Kelly was a great caretaker for my precious 18-year-old Kittie. Jasmine was very well-adjusted as I put it after having been gone for a whole two weeks. Very pleased with the care she received. I was very happy returning to everything being in order. Kelly followed the instructions closely and asked questions when she ran into a problem. I most enjoyed the dailey photos she would post on the Rover Report Card. I will be using her service again. Thank you Kelly -M
Chris and his wife, Alex, were once again amazing! They helped us out with a last minute booking request and we are so so grateful. Alex sent the best updates and photos, and also very clearly had our cats personalities figured out in no time😂. We are lucky to have found them-highly recommend!!

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.
