“Hope was super fantastic taking care of my velcro Schnauzer. I got lots of updates and pictures, and it was great to know how he was handling us being away!”
“Dani has helped us out twice now. Just as before she did everything as instructed. She is professional, and courteous. 10/10 would use her services again”
“Emma is fantastic! She stayed with my 6 month old dog for several hours on 2 consecutive days while I worked long shifts. I was certain Luna was well taken care of while I was gone. Emma is punctual, responsive & thoughtful! I will definitely use her again in the future for house/pet sitting!”
About: I have been surrounded by and have taken care of dogs since getting my family’s two dogs when I was around 11 or 12 years old. Even since moving out, my family has relied on me to take care of them on vacations, extended work trips, etc. I now have a kitty of my own, and love any opportunity to meet new animals. I am currently traveling the country, and looking to explore new places! I’ve found that pet-sitting is an excellent way to do so, with the side bonus of getting to meet new furry friends along the way! I am very intentional about adapting to each pet’s individual needs - whether they’re a fast friend or needs some space to figure me out first, my top priority is establishing trust with your fur baby. From there, I can ensure that I give them the proper love and care they deserve.
“Lea is amazing!! It’s so clear that she really loves what she does and puts in the extra effort. (Like bringing our 85 lb package inside for us! 🤯). Our girl absolutely loved her and seemed to be put so at ease, which is so essential for a cat with separation anxiety and health issues. Thank you so much!! Can’t wait to have you sit for us again!”
About: I grew up with dogs my whole life and have had cats as well, so I'm comfortable with both. Most recently I've been the go-to sitter for my neighbor's cat during her extended trips away — sometimes up to a month at a time. Animals tend to be at ease around me, and I bring the same calm, unhurried attention to pet care that I do to everything else. Your pet will be well looked after and genuinely enjoyed, not just managed. I’m reliable, quiet, respectful of your home, and happy to follow detailed instructions for your pet’s care. I work from home on a flexible, part-time basis, which means I'm around most of the day and can give pets consistent attention and company. I'm available for drop-in visits, and house sitting throughout the week with good advance notice. I'm attentive, calm, and take pet care seriously. For in-home sitting I treat your space with care and keep everything exactly as you'd want it. I'm comfortable with a range of pets and temperaments, and I'll communicate with you regularly so you always know how your pet is doing.
“Louise is wonderful. She is very responsive and communicative. She gave regular updates with pictures, easing our worries while we were away. She honestly went above and beyond my expectations. We have a cat that is particular about how he eats and she would sit with him for an hour to make sure he ate enough. I'm grateful that she took such good care of our fur babies and we will surely book her again.”
“Zoe is great! She’s done a few drop in visits for my cat. She’s been very communicative and flexible. You can tell how much she loves animals. My cat is pretty shy and she warmed up to her right away. Thank you Zoe!”
“Kalyn was amazing! She stopped by to take care of my cat and he absolutely loved her She kept me updated and was really easy to communicate with. I felt totally comfortable knowing he was in good hands I’d definitely have her watch Mr. Jones again”
“Brianna was so wonderful at taking care of our cat while we were gone. He had an ear infection and she was able to give him his ear drops and check on him and help us feel at ease while out of town. We would definitely recommend!”
“Quinn was very nice with the cats. We came home to happy, well-fed animals with a clean living area. Quinn was respectful of our home and was responsible in our absence.”
About: Growing up I had three different large family dogs as well as an outdoor cat. I currently have my own indoor cat who is very happy and healthy, his name is Beans. I’ve grown up around itty bitty 5lb lap dogs all the way up to large 70lbs+ dogs. I’ve had experience with dogs that are wayy too social and the exact opposite, not able to be around strangers at all. I’ve done extensive personal research into cat and kitten care and have spent lengthy time with dozens of cats in my lifetime. I have a very personal soft spot for all animals big and small. They are such pure, innocent beings that deserve all of our love and protection. But they are also incredibly diverse in behaviors and emotional experience so it critical to be mindful and patient with them always. I am available for all pet care services Monday-Sunday, 12pm-10pm. Overnight stay will be planned out on a case by case basis due to fluctuating personal demands. What happens when I meet/care for your pet? Well the specifics vary depending on the service being provided but a general summary would be: Off the bat have a clear and thorough understanding of the boundaries and expectations the client has for their animal. Listen to any warnings, concerns, or tips the client may have about their pet. Meeting the animal under client supervision and listen to any preferences they may have when it comes to meeting their pet (assuming this is the first time I’m meeting your pet). As well as understanding the Clients expectations of me and the care I will be providing for them, ensuring that their own and their pets needs are fully met.
“August was amazing! My dogs loved him, even my old crabby dog. He was also very accommodating to the schedule we needed. I would trust August with my dogs anytime! So thankful to have found him!”
“Josephine has cast a spell over my cantankerous and difficult cats. She is thorough with the tasks and even has found a way to pet both of them. The she-devil even greets her upon arrival. I don't have to worry when I travel. It is wonderful.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Orchard Homes
Lily was awesome as usual! She took extra care of our kitty while we were out of town with the dogs! She goes the extra mile accommodating our pets and making sure they are the most comfortable during the booking. Bailey seems to love spending time with her and she was very helpful with updates during the stay as far as eating and mood & many sweet photos!
Kayla was awesome! We felt comfortable while we were away and did not have to worry about our babies. She followed instructions exactly and messaged when she was uncertain. Our animals adored her and it was obvious with how they interacted and what we saw through photos. Will definitely be hiring again!
Kaycee is an absolute gem. She took great care of Brutus and it was such a pleasure to have her looking after my boy. She spoiled my best bud with some walks, snuggles, and lots of cheese snackies. I had not a single worry while he was in her care. Having that peace of mind is priceless

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.
