“Maria did a great job taking care of my cat. This was my first experience with her petting-sitting service but definitely won't be my last! She was consistent with her visit time, sent regular updates and even vacuumed the floor in the bedroom to clean up the litter! I so appreciated her attention to the details.”
“We had a great experience with Stephanie! This was our first time using the house visit / dog walking service. Irving got lots of walks and attention during our trip!”
“Carolyne, It was a very trying week for you with the winter storm, our unplowed driveway and the door lock problem. Thank you for taking it all in stride and giving excellent care to Jynxie, Boo and Van. I really appreciate all you do and the loving care you provide. Thank you, Donna”
“We really couldn’t have asked for better care for Timber and Tucker while we were out of town. Molly went above and beyond and we are extremely grateful for the love she showed our boys.”
“Ariel has been awesome. Communicates very well and goes above and beyond what we expected we’d get out of this entire experience. Ariel is completely genuine in her love for animals, or at least dogs. She’s knowledgeable of caring for our pup and is sensitive to her needs while she’s caring for her. 100% recommend working with Ariel!”
“Kristi was wonderful! We have 8 cats and I could tell they liked her stopping by. She was so good talking to them and sending us pics and videos. We will be using her again!!”
“She took such good care of Bruno! He was very nervous when meeting her. But she was patient with him and made him feel safe. He enjoyed all the butt scratches ☺️”
“Brittany took great care of our pets! She has a calming energy and a natural way with animals. She did an excellent job of communicating with us and sending pictures of our pups while we were away, putting us at ease knowing they were in good hands!”
“Nicole was very easy to work with and accommodating for some last minute changes. Updates and pictures were greatly appreciated. Will use her again anytime we are out of town!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and guinea pigs over the years. I’m comfortable with pets of all personalities and understand how important it is for them to feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I’m responsible, attentive, and excited to give your pets the same love and attention I’d want for my own! I have a flexible schedule and will care for your pets anytime during the mornings, afternoons, and early evenings! I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and provide dependable, loving care when you need it! I provide reliable, loving care for both dogs and cats and will tailor my visits or walks to each pet’s routine. Whether your pup needs exercise and playtime or your cat needs some extra company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your instructions for feeding, treats, medications, and potty breaks. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pets are in good hands!
“Lori was amazing with my two dogs and cat! My dog Cookie is very hesitant around new people and she very quickly warmed up to her. She took time to give them lots of love and I was so glad they were in her care. I’d highly recommend her and will definitely use her again! Thanks, Lori!”
“Katarinna and her son stayed at our home at with our two dogs while we were on vacation. They treated our home like their own - very clean, things put away, and even cleaned up our dog bowls! She sent photos and checked in throughout the week. It was such a huge relief knowing our dogs were cuddled, played with, and well-loved while we were away!”
About: I grew up with cats and became a dog owner 20 years ago. I have trained 2 puppies. I have a lot of time on my hands to care for your pets. I am a teacher and I am gone weekdays 6:15-3:30. I do have a daughter that comes home daily from 10:45-11:30 to let the dogs out. I have one Boston Terrier and he loves to play. I have a fenced in yard and plenty of room to run around. My dog can be crated if needed.
About: I have had dogs since the day I was born and am currently mommy to one dog, four cats, two goats and a sassy pet cow. I am located on a three acre farm on the outskirts of town in Marysville, Ohio, and offer services to most surrounding areas. I offer boarding, daycare, house/farm sitting, drop-in visits, dog walking, livestock/exotic care, and more! I can assure you that your pet(s) could not possibly be in better hands! They will get all the love and attention that I would give my own ....and then some. I look forward to caring for your furred, feathered, hooved, and scaled family members real soon! :) My life and schedule is centered around my animals. I own a trailer rental company and can alter my schedule however is needed to make sure all animals in my care and on my schedule are well cared for. I care for my clients pets as instructed and love them as if they are my own. Animals rule the world here at the farm and are allowed on all furniture and beds. Roughly an acre is securely chain link fenced and gated for plenty of outdoor exercise, weather permitting.
About: I have owned dogs my whole life. I love dogs of all sizes and ages! Walking, drop ins, or boarding. Whatever your needs are, I am happy to give love to all your fur babies. I am available for walks or drop ins every day before 7:30 AM, at lunch time, and I am also available after 4:30 everyday and all day on weekends. I live right next to a dog park that we love to frequent. I have a very friendly boarder collie/ golden retriever. I also have a toddler so I ask that all dogs staying in my home be friendly with children.
“Kyra was great and professional, she took wonderful care of our cat. It was our first time using Rover and first time with Kyra, and we're glad we found her. We'll definitely have her back. Thanks Kyra!”
About: I have taken care of many dogs and cats throughout my experience. Of mostly all ages and even multiple at a time. The most cats i have ever had is 4 at once! I am currently a college student so spending the night at peoples home would not be an issue. Not crazy available on weekends but can definitely ask! The most classes i have are 3 at once so 3 hour break from being able to come over. I make sure to feed my pets breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Let them out as much as they express they need to and give them plenty of affection, play time, and walks. Not one client who I have sat for or walked their dog has gave me any criticism. I make sure to follow the clients instructions to the exact details.

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.
