“Alexis is great! She is extremely responsive and goes above and beyond when watching your pet. She made my vacation so much better, just knowing my cat was in her hands.

“Abigail was a wonderful Petsitter! She was so communicative and easy to work with. I felt very reassured that my cat was in good hands! I would have no hesitation booking her again.”
About: I am a UVA grad who has trained many dogs including the two I have now, a border collie and a mutt, who are currently on vacation. I’ve taken care of many neighbors and family friends’ dogs of all ages as well, walking, feeding, and playing with them! I currently am not working as I am moving to Australia in October, so I am free almost any day and anytime to care for your dog! I have a dog-friendly home with a crate, fenced-in back yard, and toys and treats galore located in an extremely dog friendly neighborhood

About: As a devoted dog mom and remote professional, I know the importance of creating a loving, structured environment for pets. My daily routine includes feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for my own pup—who’s happy to share her cozy space with new friends. I’m detail-oriented, dependable, and will care for your pet with the same thoughtfulness and affection I give my own. Since I work from home most of the time, I’m able to offer flexible care throughout the day. Whether it’s boarding, playtime, or check-ins, I’ll be there to ensure your pet feels safe, engaged, and loved. Your pet’s needs won’t just fit into my routine—they’ll help shape it. I provide a calm, pet-friendly home shared with my sweet and social dog. The space is clean and comfortable, with plenty of room to rest or play. I closely follow your pet’s care instructions and am happy to crate if needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities—because I know that peace of mind for you starts with a safe, happy pet.
About: I’ve been around dogs since I was a young child, and have a deep love for animals. I have two fur babies of my own: one since he was puppy and the other since he was 1. I trained them both, and especially offered additional support and love to my one dog who was a rescue after being a surrender. I have incredible patience, and offer a safe, healthy, and loving environment for your precious fur baby. I currently work from home full time so your fur baby will never be deprived of attention. I have lots of dog toys, 2 dogs who are wonderful with other dogs, so your pup will have lots of stimulation. We will be sure to go on plenty of walks to get fresh air and time outside. Although I do not have a fenced yard, your pup will not have to worry about getting time outside. We will take plenty of walks. My 2 dogs are very social and love to interact with other dogs. If I am coming into your home, I will follow all directions you provide, and ensure your fur baby feels comfortable.
“Ella did an amazing job with my tuxedo cat! She sat and played with her-gave her treats-scooped the litter box-even managed to brush her a little! Tazz only comes out for those that she trusts- Ella was patient and kind and took her time with her. I will be booking again! Highly recommend this young lady!!!”
“Fantastic sitting for my dogs on a last minute request! Was very attentive and arrived on schedule to attend to the dogs. Will absolutely check in with her again first for future needs! Thank you!”
About: Over the years I have taken care of many different kinds of animals including dogs and cats (of which I've owned two of each), guinea pigs, mice, and more! In my veterinary science classes, I learned a lot about the handling of dogs, cats, and small animals and got lots of hands-on experience working with dogs during weekly grooming days. Previously, I have worked in a dog hotel as a kennel assistant where I provided many different services for dogs including feeding, cleaning and walking. Along with this, I also often pet sit for my friends and family :D I have a good amount of time on weekdays to look after pets. If anything pops up that will be communicated through messages or on my calendar 👍 I have experience working with a variety of tempers in dogs, cats, and other animals. I'm very patient with nervous/shy animals and can match a higher energy as well.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakton
Abby was simply wonderful. She visited our kitty, Sammie, twice a day to feed her. She and Sammie played, purred and took lots of pictures for us to see the smiles. She is so kind and caring and we felt great leaving our almost 16 year old kitty in her care while we were away. She went the extra mile and gathered some stray deliveries and mail for us. We cannot recommend her highly enough. Ten stars for Abby!
Megan was communicative and professional throughout the entire process. She won over our skittish cats immediately, which is an absolute miracle! We will definitely use her services again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.
He is very reliable and response quickly. We had AC issue while we were away and he visited our house to feed our cat so we asked him to check the AC thermostat. He showed us the thermostat with his Facetime just like he did with our cat. It was helpful to confirm the thermostat was off.
Hannah took excellent care of both of our dogs, especially the older one whom she made a second trip to make sure that he was eating his meals. In addition to cleaning up after them and providing lots of snuggles with our doggos, she communicated daily and took excellent photos. Highly recommend!
I would highly recommend Michelle for any pet sitting needs! She is so sweet and communicative throughout her visits! I received lots of pictures and updates, and I can clearly tell my pup is very happy with her :) I will definitely be rebooking with her in the future!

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.

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.
