“Sam is the absolute best pet caregiver there is! She is SO much more than just a "sitter". I hate leaving my dogs, but I don't worry about them when we are away because I know they are being so well care for. Sam is communicative, flexible, and thoughtful. We appreciate you Sam!!”
“Kelsey was fantastic! She took excellent care of my old lady beagle. She managed all of my pup’s meds with no issue. Communication was great and my pup was very well cared for. Highly recommend!”
“Amber did an excellent job taking care of my dog and 2 cats. My dog is diabetic and requires insulin injections twice a day plus several other medications as well as a special diet. My two cats are finicky eaters and will only eat what they want. Amber handled the medications and special diets like a pro and kept me up to date in great detail while I was away. She took care of my babies like they were her own and that made me feel very stress-free being away from them. I would highly recommend Amber and will definitely use her in the future.”
“Anna Kate was a great sitter.Miss Kitty is very shy but Anna Kate made her feel safe and she loved seeing Anna Kate every morning. She did everything we needed and we were very pleased . Highly recommend her and we will have her sit again for us.”
About: I've spent years caring for a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and hamsters. Over the years, my family has owned multiple pets including bunnies, cats, and dogs from black labs to havanese. Those experiences have taught me how to understand different personalities, routines, and care needs while giving each pet the individual attention they deserve. I'm patient, dependable, attentive, and flexible, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know every animal I meet. My goal is to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away, and I'll care for them with the same kindness and dedication I would give my own pets. I am available everyday from 7 in the morning until 8 in the evening up to 3 visits a day with 2 outside breaks and 1 longer walk. For bunnies and cats, play sessions and exercise as needed. I will follow your pets routine, providing plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection while making sure they always feel safe and comfortable. I like to arrange a meeting prior to the first day of sitting to get aquatinted with your pet in its space. My three years of experience as a camp leader and coach have taught me to be responsible, patient, attentive, and adaptable.
About: I have a deaf domestic short hair cat. Her name is Bean, she is 3 years old, and she loves shadows. I also grew up with two yellow labs, Nyla and Alyn (yes their names are the other spelled backwards don't ask). I am currently a Physical Therapy Doctoral student so I will be a part time service because my grades are important to me, but I am available for lots of play time, potty breaks, and long walks. My cat is a drama queen, so I would likely be unable to take your animal in. I am, however, available for walks, drops ins, etc.
“Guadalupe is fantastic! Our very large pup loved her coming over and checking in on him while we're traveling. And our two very shy/skittish cats actually come out to say hello to her when she drops is. Highly recommend”
“Allison is wonderful, patient and very understanding of dogs. We are truly grateful for her care with our fur-babies. We just got done with 2-days worth of Allison dropping by to care for our pups and she’s been very understanding with our situation. She really cares and wants to make sure she provides great care. We highly recommend her to all pet owners/lovers!”
About: As an experienced pet sitter, I provide dependable, compassionate care tailored to each pet’s unique personality and needs. With a strong understanding of animal behavior and routines, I ensure your pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding schedules, medication administration, or extra cuddle time, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your furry family members are in caring, capable hands. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom. I’m home most of the day, so I’m able to provide regular feedings, walks, playtime, and attention. I plan my schedule around making sure pets are comfortable, exercised, and cared for throughout the day. Being home also allows me to keep a close eye on them and make sure they feel safe and part of the household. I care for pets by making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. I follow the owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications if needed. I keep their environment clean, give them attention and affection, and make sure they get enough exercise and bathroom breaks. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I treat every pet like part of the family and make sure their routine stays as normal and stress-free as possible.
“Sydney was so helpful while I was away and Cheez and Maple were so happy she came to take care of them. She communicated and shared updates with each visit which made me feel at peace during my time away!”
About: Taking care of animals is my passion specially dogs. My baby is an English Bulldog named Hercules and for more than seven years I have known what is taking care of a loved one. We hope we can help you to take care of your buddie or princess while you are traveling for business or enjoying your vacation. We love the park or just play in our BIG FENCED backyard if your dog doesn't do a lot of activity we can just chill @ the living room while we watch a movie. Feel free to call anytime of you are missing your baby or just to check in. Will be a pleasure to meet new pet-friends Hercules is already excited and ready to welcome new pals. I work from home so I can care and give love to your dog during the day. I will make sure your pup feels at home I have a fenced yard and plenty of space for him or her to run and play. I’m very active and I exercise every morning if they like to go for a walk early morning I’m always ready.
“We have used Maya several times, she's great! We have an elderly cat that needs meds daily. It's so comforting to know when I'm not there I can rely on Maya to check on my old girl ♥️”
“Courtney was so great with watching after our “old man”. She went out of her way to make sure he was comfortable and happy while we were away. We were lucky to have her come by.”
“Amber is very professional and pays attention to every detail. She sends helpful information during her visits and makes sure our puppy is taken great care of. Highly recommend!”
“Mylissa was very sweet, patient, and deft with our dog, even when the dog showed signs of aggression. She was very open to working with us on a care plan that works best for everyone, and we are grateful to her.”
About: I'm the type of person who spends all my time hanging out with animals at any function. I have lots of experience with aggressive, shy, senior, independent, clingy, and playful pets, and I pay close attention to your pet's personality so I can meet each pet's needs. I love to stay active but am also a homebody and could spend all day giving your pet the attention they deserve. I've had a dog since I was 10, and I know how much photos of your pet can brighten your day, so I will be sure to keep you updated! I work remotely, so I have flexible hours and plenty of time to play and take care of your pet. I travel often, but I update my availability weeks in advance. Please note: I am unavailable for Sunday bookings between 9 am and 3 pm. I am unable to care for pets at my own place, but I am more than willing to make the trip to stay at your home or drop in to feed/walk/play according to your needs. My dog is a very picky eater, so I understand that each pet's feeding routine is different, and I will always accommodate what your pet is used to.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Oakwood
Liberty took great care of our two cats! She sent very detailed updates each day and several pictures which we loved getting! Our cats warmed up to her quickly. She also left our place spotless. We had peace of mind while on our trip knowing our cats were in great hands!
Amber has done a great job with my pets including an elderly blind dog who need insulin and other medications and is finicky about eating sometimes. She took great care of my dog and cats and worked with me to solve a few issues that occurred while I was gone. I would highly recommend Amber! I could enjoy my time away from home knowing they were being loved on and having such great care.

- 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 .

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 .
