“I cannot recommend Megan enough!! My cat Karma hides from everyone. I couldn't remember the last time she was friendly with or approached anyone other than myself. Something about Megan, a magic touch, I'm not sure, but Karma felt safe and even greeted Megan at the door each visit!!! My sister and BF did not believe me. Thankfully, Megan takes lots of pics. We needed someone on short notice, and Megan was amazing. Karma now has a friend and sitter. We couldn't be more thankful that we found Megan. And a thanks to Rover for connecting us with Megan!”
“Allison is a wonderful and caring pet sitter! I’m so glad I found her on Rover to look after my cat Reggie while I was gonna for a few days. Reggie warmed up to her right away from the first meet-n-greet and enjoyed her visits playing and getting some snuggles in. Allison is very responsive and checks in each visit. I will definitely be using Allison again!”
“Mylo was great and I would highly recommend him for your next dog sitting needs. Mylo was attentive, caring, and patient with my crazy dogs. He was great at communicating how my dogs were doing and of any concerns/needs that may have arisen during his time checking on them. I loved getting his daily updates and pictures of my much loved pups. They seemed to love him as well. I would definitely book him again in the future to watch them again.”
“Nicole was great with our dogs and my puppy and older dog can be stubborn and she did amazing with them. Will definitely book again with Nicole. Very trustworthy and kind to our dogs ! I like how she even took time to send pictures and sit with them (:”
“Jess was friendly, thorough and communicative from the start and especially during the time she was dog-sitting. She went above and beyond with our dog while she was checking in on her. I would definitely book Jess again in the future.”
“We booked Julia very last minute and she was such a blessing every step of the way. Julia was very easy to work with and our dog enjoyed his time with Julia. I mixed up my times and Julia was more than willing to assist me in my mix up. Julia sent great photos of our guy each time she stopped in. Highly recommend Julia and we will use her again for sure.”
About: I’ve loved animals since I was a little girl, when my family rescued a pregnant dog, and we raised her puppies together. I have a lot of experience with cats, especially seniors who need extra love or medicine. While I enjoy dogs of all ages, I specialize in small to medium breeds. I’m a patient sitter who focuses on building trust. My husband often joins me on our pet-sitting adventures! He absolutely loves dogs, and they always have a blast playing with him. This means your pet gets double the love, attention, and playtime during our visits. Your pet’s comfort and happiness are our top priorities! I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available for midday walks and check-ins both on weekdays and weekends. I can easily stick to your pet’s usual routine to make sure they get plenty of attention and potty breaks while you’re away. I live right by the Centennial Trail, which is perfect for safe and scenic walks! I always keep dogs on a leash and stay very alert to our surroundings. Since I don't host pets at my place, I’m happy to come to your neighborhood for our adventures. I’ll also send you plenty of cute photo updates so you know exactly how much fun your furry friend is having!
About: Hello, My name is Catelyn and I am 24 years old. I grew up with a cat and several dogs. I am an animal lover and find great companionship with pets. I am my family’s designated pet sitter too!!! I will love your babies and leave your space good as new! I love being tidy, so if you don’t mind, I will probably do some light cleaning while staying at your residence! I am also extremely communicative and would not hesitate to contact (or don’t if you wish) for any questions!! My goal is to make you as comfortable as possible and love on your pets while you’re away! I will make sure their bathroom, food, and energy needs are met however the owners would like. Please don’t hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns! Thank you so much! During the week, I am gone Monday- Friday from 8-5. I have an hour lunch at 12. I don’t go out much on the weekends, but if I do I don’t stay out long! I wouldn’t be gone for more than 4 hours and that’s IF I go somewhere. Which is unlikely, but I will have open communication if I do leave for any period of time! Your wish is my command! I am open to having meetings prior to any confirmed reservations for your comfortability! I like to try to follow families set routines to not shake things up too much!
About: I’ve worked & volunteer at shelters for about 5 years and have experience working with different types of dogs such as reactive, fearful, shy and friendly; as well of many different breeds. I was crossed trained as a veterinary assistant and have given medication before. I’ve earn my CCTBS (Certified Canine Training and Behavior Specialist) with the Animal Behavior Institute and I’m in my last quarter to compete my Advanced Canine Certification as well as my Feline Certification. I offer both Dog & Cat training services! I do have a full time job that is in the evening however this gives me ample time to provide quality care such as play time and long walks in the morning and checking on them late at night for one last potty break and ensuring everything is locked up so your pet is safe & sound. If you leave detailed instructions, I will follow them to a T. I can also provide photos frequently to show your pet having fun and relaxing at home safely. If a concern arises, I will immediately notify you no matter how small. You can always reach out about anything and everything, I love communicating and would want the same if someone was caring for my animals.
About: I grew up with a house and yard and barn full of animals. Some ours, some wild that needed rehabbed, some that didn’t want my affection but got it anyway and some that probably belonged to a neighbor but ended up in my embrace. I have dog and cat sat for friends and friends of friends for decades, and of course have my own sweet babes as well. I’ve raised pups and fostered mamas and babies and loved several animals into old age and sadly into end of life. Animals truly are such a gift. We have the space for dogs to run and run and I have a sweet boy (Ollie!) that needs a running gang. I want all the dogs I can handle and we have the space so I’m pursuing my dreams. I am currently caretaking for my mom who is as excited about this opportunity as I am! Given our situation I am home nearly all day and evening and am a morning person so up dark and early more often than I’d prefer. I have the most flexible hours and am available to pick up and drop off your babes as well. Distance permitting of course. I have a fenced yard and two sweet boys of my own. The yard has two fenced sections so if there is ever a need to separate animals that can easily be done. We have a barn I am wanting to utilize for play space eventually but our home is open to our pets and to yours as well. We have a two story home with plenty of space and have the ability to separate the animals if needed.
“Ven is a great sitter! I was really nervous about leaving my cat with a sitter because she is a bit shy and needed daily medication, but Ven did so amazing with her. They stayed in communication with me and didn’t hesitate to reach out with any questions. I would absolutely recommend Ven to anyone looking for care for their pets!”
About: From human babies to cats, bearded dragons and beyond, I'm excited to meet you and your pet! I've always loved animals, especially dogs, cats, and reptiles. Caring for your furry (and not so furry!) loved ones brings me lots of joy and is how I wish I could spend every day. I'm eager to please and find I'm available for daily drop ins for potty and feedings, or spending more time with your pet in the evenings while you work late. Also available for overnights up to a week, staying in your home so your animal is most comfy! I love taking relaxing walks and playing fetch, or playing in your fenced yard enjoying the warm weather. I can administer pills and monitor health conditions, and can provide physical assistance for small dogs and cats with mobility issues, like getting up and down furniture. I'm open and eager to learn administering other medication types if you are comfortable teaching! Anxious and shy pets warm to me easily, and so do senior dogs and cats! I have open availability during the summer months as I work for the school district. I want to spend my time loving and caring for your pet/s, so please let me know what your needs are and I'll do everything I can to make it work! After summer, I work part-time during the day, so I can stop by mid-morning to let dogs out to potty and play, and my evenings/weekends are open. I want to be best friends with your pet, so knowing their favorite treats and keeping their routine consistent is important to me. I promise to care for your baby like my own.
About: I have owned a Labrador before and love dogs all my life! I love to walk dogs and play with them for hours! I have three kids but having a chance to interact with dogs is therapeutic for me and great motivation to walk around my safe neighborhood for an hour or two! I am working part time but I could work in the evenings especially in the summertime and I can be flexible when needed during the day! I also I am available in the early morning to dog walk! I have a fenced yard and have an enclosed patio/deck and have safe operating vehicles to put animals in along with leashes and food bowls.
About: * 8+ years of pet sitting experience for friends, family, and referrals. * Rocky, my 7-year-old Golden Retriever, is always by my side and has to be apart of the equation. * I work remotely, which allows me to provide plenty of supervision, companionship, walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. * I only accept pets that are comfortable around large dogs and have a friendly, reliable temperament. Rocky’s safety and well-being as well as any animals I care for are my top priority. * My goal is to treat every pet like family and give owners peace of mind while they’re away I work remotely Monday through Friday, so my day naturally revolves around making sure the pets in my care—including my own—get plenty of attention, companionship, potty breaks, exercise, and outdoor time. Because every pet is different, I tailor activities to their age, energy level, and individual needs. Trust is everything when it comes to caring for someone’s pets. I’ve been with the same company for 9 years, and I bring that same reliability, integrity, and accountability to every pet I care for. As a Project Manager, I’m highly detail-oriented and comfortable following specific routines, medications, and care instructions. I know every pet is different, and I take the time to learn what helps them feel safe, comfortable, and happy. I genuinely love animals and don’t just “watch” pets—I enjoy spending time with them, keeping them engaged, active, and loved while you’re away.
About: I am an outgoing person and always here to help you with your needs. I have been watching do for ten years. And know cpr I am not working at this time. I have an open schedule for your and your dogs. Let me know how I can help you My house is safe for dog and I have a fenced in back yard and a friend yard with a dog area that is also fenced
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Opportunity
Jessalyn did drop in visits for our puppy the very first week we had him due to our busy work schedules. She was an excellent communicator, professional, and went above and beyond for his care. She sent us pictures, videos, and let us know basic training she was working on with him. She really put our minds at ease leaving our new baby at home for the first time. Would highly recommend her!
Marbel is a trouble cat rescue who is still calming down. She wants to be sweet but can strike out. I provided cautions and said where she's doing well. Valerie did a great job taking care of her, litter box was clean and images provided for each visit. I'm very pleased.
Kimarie did an excellent job with Elle and took care of our home while we were gone. She is a great communicator and kept up the same routine our pet was used to, so it was like we were never gone. We have a difficult animal and it was noticeable how much more calm and happy our pet was when we came home, vs what happens when friends and family have pet-sit for us. Kimarie really cares, and goes above and beyond. We'll be asking her to pet-sit for us every time we're out of town now.

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.
