“I moved to the area recently and was looking for a new kitty sitter. Marianne is phenomenal. I will definitely be using Marianne going forward. She wrote thorough notes on how my kitties were doing for each visit along with pictures and videos. I have full trust in Marianne taking care of my kitties and respecting my home. She even took out our recycling for us. You can tell she is an animal lover and so thoughtful.”
“Emily is so amazing! I can’t reccomend her enough! She was thorough and communicative and took the best care of our girl! Will definitely be repeat clients! Thank you Emily! 🩷🐶”
About: I have had a pet companion for 35 years. I have raised 3 wonderful miniature dachshund. I have been pet sitting for almost 10 years now. I have cared for diabetic dogs as well as elderly ones. I am Semi-retired and available 6 days a week Mon-Sat. Sundays are possible for certain situations. I always try to accommodate for your pets specific needs. I live in a condo in Wilton Manors so therefore I can only accept small dogs for petting sitting at my home. Any size dog though for sitting for dogs in their home.
“Kimmeth was wonderful with our 2 senior kitties. She arrived promptly, gave us detailed notes and lots of photos. She was respectful of our home and took great care of our cats. We have already rebooked her for another weekend. If you are looking for a sitter in her area, don’t hesitate to reach out. We feel so fortunate to have found her!”
“Alyssa was incredible with the pups. I had a last minute trip and she came to the rescue in a short notice. Not only that, she went above and beyond with the 4 dogs and gave them all the care they needed. To my luck she is near by so I will be definitely using her services more often. Highly recommend 💯”
“Gary does an amazing job taking care of my fur babies! When I know I'll be gone from the house all day and need someone to let the pups out to pee, I can rely on Gary to help. He's reliable, has great communication + has been very flexible with my schedule.”
About: A vacation for your dog while you enjoy your time. I am a Responsible, loving and experienced dog sitter. I have owned Malteses for 45 yrs. I will care and love your puppy and small dog as my own. I have a clean smoke free, fenced in yard with a separate fenced area with a doggie door from the patio area, I have a coach for special needs so I can take them outside. Your four-legged baby is allowed on the furniture is allowed to sleep in bed unless you object. I can provide you with pictures and updates so that you are still connected with your loved one I would like to meet you and your little one to assure that we all get along. I comb them, wipe their private areas and wipe their faces after meals!
“Alyssa has been amazing with our one year old German Shepherd. He’s very sensitive and needs some patience, TLC, and understanding. Alyssa has a calming energy matched with leadership and good animal intuition that our GSD has responded remarkably quickly to. Alyssa came over for a meet n greet - took the time to learn his quirks, training, and personality then came over again for a one on one walk. Our GSD runs away, barks, and hides when new people try to clip his leash but she sent a pic twenty minutes later on a walk with him. We were not only impressed with her care, demeanor, and skill but also extremely grateful/relieved to have found a sitter like Alyssa. Highly recommend her for all dog sitting needs and breeds!”
About: I have over 20 years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I’ve cared for shy pups who need extra time and patience to warm up, energetic dogs who thrive on walks and play, and senior dogs who need gentle, attentive support. I have a special place in my heart for pets with unique needs. My beloved pug, Maggie, developed diabetes later in life and required insulin, along with extra care and support after becoming blind and deaf. That experience taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and paying close attention to the little things that help pets feel safe and comfortable. Whether your pup needs an energetic walk, some extra playtime, medication support, or simply a calm and caring companion while you’re away, I take pride in providing personalized care and treating every dog like they’re part of my own family. After years of caring for my own pet and helping friends and family with theirs, I’m excited to now offer my experience and love for dogs through Rover. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, and I schedule my day to ensure each visit receives my full attention. I plan dedicated time for drop-in visits throughout the day and prioritize punctuality, consistency, and clear communication so your pet’s routine stays as normal as possible. I treat every home and pet with the same care and respect I would my own. I follow your detailed instructions closely to keep your pet’s routine consistent, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special needs. I aim to create a calm, reassuring experience while you’re away and maintain a clean, secure environment before leaving. You’ll receive timely updates and photos after each visit for complete peace of mind.
About: I have had animals (dogs, cats, livestock and more) my entire life. I grew up on a farm know what animals need and how they interact with people and other animals. I’m available most anytime with notification. I am always working but if I have a pet to care for it will be the first priority. I am able to stop at your home feed, walk, clean up after them and myself. Stay with them as needed. Available for stay over night when needed.
“Reebah took wonderful care of my cat, Garfield. She followed all of my instructions carefully, including giving his medications and his food, and she provided timely updates throughout her visits. I felt completely at ease knowing Garfield was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Reebah to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after their pets!”
“Estefania is amazing. She is very reliable came around the same time everyday. Was very communicable regarding my pet and sent lots of pictures. So happy to find such a good person to help me with my pets.”
“Aaron is AWESOME! He came and helped me out big time when I had a sudden emergency stay at the hospital. He went above and beyond with my dog Tank. He took great of him in my absence and I can’t be more appreciative. Truly 5 star!💯”
“Alexandra took excellent care of my kitty. She was punctual, very communicative, and sent lots of pictures throughout my trip. Most importantly, my cat was happy, healthy, and well cared for when I returned home. I would gladly book with her again.”
“I was so nervous about using Rover for the first time but Deborah was so nice and understanding. She sent me the cutest pictures and videos of my baby to let me know exactly what was going on everyday. She also went above and beyond and got my mail for me, took beretta for walks, and even cleaned the living room for me to return home. I could not recommend her more to anyone else!!”
“Aileen provided exceptional service attending to Phelps while I was away for 10 days. She was always prompt and courteous. I felt comfortable with giving her access to my home and everything was as I left it. I will definitely use her services again.”
About: Loving, Reliable Care for Your Pup — Now With More Time to Give! Hi there! I’ve been on Rover since 2023, and now that I’m semi-retired, I’m excited to dedicate even more of my time to caring for dogs. Spending my days with pups is one of my greatest joys — whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or just keeping them company. I share my home with my friendly dog, Kyle, who loves meeting new furry friends. I’m patient, attentive, and truly love getting to know each dog’s unique personality and needs. Your pup will be treated like family here! Whether you need drop-ins, walks, or overnight care, I’m here to help and make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged baby. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. Since I’m semi-retired, I have plenty of flexibility and time to dedicate to each dog I care for. My day usually includes morning and evening walks, regular playtime, and lots of attention and affection throughout the day. I also build in time for feeding, potty breaks, and any special routines or instructions a pet may have. Because I already care for my own dog, Kyle, I’m used to maintaining a consistent, calm, and pet-friendly environment. Adding another pup into the routine feels seamless — I truly enjoy it, and I make sure each dog gets the care and engagement needed. When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and relaxed environment. I follow each pet’s usual routine as closely as possible — from feeding times and walks to playtime and rest. My dog, Kyle, is friendly and enjoys having company, so visiting pups always have a companion. I supervise all interactions, provide plenty of affection, and make sure each dog has their own space if they need quiet time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m respectful of their space and follow all instructions carefully. I maintain the pet’s familiar routine, whether that involves walks, meals, medications, or special habits. I give them lots of attention, keep their environment tidy, and send regular updates so owners feel connected and reassured. No matter the service, my goal is always the same: to make every pet feel safe, happy, and well-loved. 🐾

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakland Park
Daniela was fantastic with our lazy, stubborn bulldog Bruno! She stopped by twice a day, administered his medication, kept him happy and cared for, and even rolled with our last-minute schedule changes. Bruno gives her his official seal of approval (which, from a bulldog, is basically a standing ovation). Highly recommend Daniela!
This is the second time I have asked Gary to look after my cats while I was away on vacation. I’m still floored by how attentive and reliable he is! He is a kind and thoughtful person who is a very dependable sitter, checking in with me regularly and providing updates on the cats’ day-to-day and overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. He goes above and beyond to make sure your babies are well taken care of!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! 🐱❤️ She was reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind throughout her Drop In visits. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future which is very soon! 🐾
I am so grateful to Krystal for the last-minute help with my dog, Sadi! Sadi was so well cared for, and getting updates and photos gave me total peace of mind while I was away. Highly reliable, kind, and responsive—I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!
Reebah took wonderful care of my cat, Garfield. She followed all of my instructions carefully, including giving his medications and his food, and she provided timely updates throughout her visits.

Luzmar did a great job and followed all instructions for what my cat required. She is very attentive to details and goes above and beyond. Definitely will re-book with her again, the communication was on point, easy, and responds within a reasonable fashion.
Marissa was truly AMAZING! 🥹❤️ I reached out to her last minute after someone cancelled on me, and she was the first person willing to step in and take care of my pups. She kept me updated throughout and made sure they were fed, happy, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her! 🐶

Both cats warmed up to her quickly, and it was clear they were well cared for while I was away. I would highly recommend Stacey to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring pet sitter, and I will definitely be booking with her again!
Aaron was absolutely fantastic! From the very beginning, his communication was excellent. Responsive, professional, and reassuring. It was clear he genuinely cares about the dogs, and seeing how comfortable, happy, and affectionate they were with him spoke volumes.

We would happily trust Aaron with our dogs again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a kind, reliable, and attentive dog walker!

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.
