“I am grateful that Theresa has done an excellent job watching our pets several times. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and responsive to the needs of our four cats (and our needs, too). Appreciate her frequent updates, photos, and humorous observations.”
“Elizabeth watched over my cats for 3 days! She did a wonderful job and my cats seemed to love her so much! And she was always on time and cared for my cats like her own.. will definitely rebook her for future sitting”
“Dominique took great care of our MANY animals. She managed to snap pictures of each of them during her visits which is no small task given how many there are and how shy some are. She gave twice daily medicine to one of our cats and even helped care for a cat we recently pulled off the streets who isn’t integrated into the house yet. We felt very comfortable leaving our pets in her care, she communicated very well, and our animals all loved her!”
“Very grateful to Libby for caring for our cat on house visits while we were away. She jumped in last minute, was super communicative, adapted to our cat’s needs, and clearly won her over immediately. Highly recommend!”
“Farrell came and helped take Jaxon out and care for him while I was away and she did a fantastic job! Great at communicating, sharing photos and updates. 100% would book her again!”
“Natalie was great! She did a drop in for us when we had to take a last minute trip. She was so patient with our anxious dog and when fireworks started to go off she made our dog feel comfortable in the best way she could. Will definitely be booking again. 5/5 stars!”
“Brad is the best! He is so good with our dog Gunner. He always makes sure Gunner gets the exercise and attention he needs as an active dog. During his last drop in visit, Brad was sensitive to Gunner’s injured leg and made sure he didn’t over do it. He always communicates clearly and keeps us informed. Very professional and competent. Highly recommend him!”
About: With 11 years of experience caring for my poodle since she was a puppy, I've developed a deep love and understanding of animals. I've owned pets my entire life, including rabbits, cats, dogs, fish, and turtles, and have enjoyed every aspect of taking care of them. I also have a passion for training dogs, helping them learn and grow. Whether it’s walking a playful puppy or caring for a neighbor’s cat, I have a wide range of experience in animal care. I’m always there 24/7, whether it's for my own pets, a friend's, or a neighbor's. I adore all animals and, with a few instructions, can ensure they receive the best care. I'm playful, attentive, and always make sure your pets feel comfortable and happy around me. As a marketing professional with flexible work hours and the ability to work from anywhere, I can easily fit pet care into my schedule. I’m available for boarding both on weekends and weekdays, ensuring your pets are well cared for whenever you need. I can play with your dogs at any time, making sure they get the attention and fun they deserve while you’re away. My apartment is a perfect environment for pets. It's pet-friendly with a big field next to it, where your dog can run and play. There are plenty of puppies in the neighborhood, so your dog will have friends to socialize with and won’t ever feel lonely. The area is great for walks, and my small apartment building with just a few units is located in a lovely, quiet neighborhood. My apartment has plenty of space, so you can bring a dog bed if you'd like. Plus, with dog waste bags conveniently located all around, your dog can potty anywhere comfortably. Your pet will feel right at home with me!
About: I’ve owned dogs since before I can even remember and they all still have a special place in my heart. I have tons of experience with pet sitting, dog walking, belly rubs and ear scratches. My skin care routine wouldn’t be complete without dog kisses. I’ve wrestled huge dogs since I was 6, so no dog scares me. And if I get bit, it is what it is cause I still love that doggo. I’ll treat your pets like I would my own - which means they’re family. They deserve the world! I am currently available every day, all day. I’d love to turn this into a career so this will be my number 1 priority. I live at an apartment complex that is extremely pet friendly and has GREAT areas for walking and two fenced in areas where dogs can run. I also have a sliding glass door that goes out to a patio and yard area because I live on the ground floor. I can crate your puppets if needed or they can be free to roam around.
“Izabella was so great with coco. I had a last minute request when her longtime caregiver could no longer care for her. I had set up care through another person on rover and they cancelled which left me just two days to find someone. Izabella sent me her work hours so I could coordinate drop ins and walks to work with cocos schedule. She came the next day for a meet and greet. While I was away she gave great photos and updates. She even offered to take out the trash and put some salt down. She offered an additional check in if needed the day we were coming back which was wonderful since our plane got delayed. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: Patient and willing to take the time to learn every quirk. Comfortable with high energy, large or small animals. Fostered multiple cats to successful adoption. My schedule is flexible as I am a design engineer who currently works freelance. Able and willing to check multiple times a day or longer sessions. At home I have multiple playtime sessions throughout the day. This includes string toys and playing fetch. When checking on animals I follow my personal routine: 1. Check wellbeing (health, water, food, litter) 2. Playtime/walks 3. Wind down session
“Nicole was absolutely amazing with our two dogs, Tucker and Ruby! They each have very different personalities, and she handled them both with such care and confidence. I felt totally comfortable knowing they were in her hands — and it was clear they were well cared for and loved. Communication was great, and everything went smoothly from start to finish. I would absolutely book with Nicole again!”

Jessica was wonderful and went above and beyond when our cat unexpectedly reverted to some peeing behaviors that we thought we had resolved. She did creative problem solving as needed and kept us informed everyday. Jessica was thorough, kind, and concerned for our cats’ happiness. I highly recommend her services!
We couldn't be happier with the care provided for our elderly cat, Khan. We were in a bit of a stressful situation — our original pet sitter fell through at the last minute, and we found ourselves scrambling to find someone reliable on short notice. Reed & Natalie really came through for us. Natalie quickly arranged a meet & greet to get acquainted with Khan and helped put us at ease. That first impression proved well-founded. Khan is a cranky little lady who does not warm up to strangers easily, but the visits went wonderfully, and it was clear that real patience and care went into each one. What really stood out was the dedication and reliability. The daily visits required a significant drive, which is no small ask given how painful fuel costs have gotten lately — and that never seemed to be an issue. Even some unexpected car trouble didn't get in the way of the visits. That level of commitment is rare and did not go unnoticed. Knowing Khan was in good hands while we were away gave us peace of mind. We would absolutely book again and highly recommend Reed & Natalie.
Lydia was great! She was super responsible with my senior cat who needs oral meds. I could tell she took extra time to cuddle and play with him. She cleaned up everything before I came home. Booking and communication was easy and she sent pictures/updates regularly. I will definitely be booking with her again!

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.
