“Marinna was very attentive and caring with Nina. She made shed Nina was getting what she needed and took the time to play with her and give her lots of love. I appreciated getting all the photos of the visits.”
“Charlie took great care of my senior cat, Cecil while I was away for the weekend! He did drop in visits for food, medicine and to let him outside. He even made a separate trip back to close the back access door before nighttime, which I really appreciated. CeCe and I would love to have him back in the future. :)”
“Elizabeth took great care of our furry family members this weekend. Both the dogs were calm and happy when we got home. Elizabeth is such a pleasant lady and she is very patient with the dogs. We are blessed to have found her and for her help this weekend. We will be calling on her again in the future.”

“Madison is amazing! She was reliable, communicative, took care of every detail, and most importantly - she was extremely kind and so loving with my doggy. Trusting someone for a drop in visit was a big deal, I’m so glad I did though. I will absolutely be using Madison again in the future! Thank you!!!”
About: Hi, welcome to Castle K-9 where dogs rule! We would be thrilled to have your dog come stay and enjoy our lovely accommodations. My husband and I love the company of dogs. We have both had pets since we were children, and as a couple, we have always had multiple dogs. I am a retired English teacher and my husband retired from construction management. We have a large fenced yard and a 2500 square foot home in the country. Sadly, our two dogs passed away in the early months of 2023, so we no longer have pets of our own. Instead, we look forward to enjoying other peoples' pets. As dog lovers, your dogs will enjoy all the perks of being one of the family. We are experienced at administering medication and are sensitive to the needs of senior dogs who may prefer to cuddle on the sofa or simply steer clear of too much activity. At our house, your dog will enjoy your vacation as much as you do. All guests are required to show proof of up to date vaccinations and be flea free. Rates for overnight begin at $75 depending on the size, age and special needs of your dog. Please contact us to see if we are a good fit for your dog, so you can enjoy your time away worry-free. Should you decide to make a reservation, please note that drop-off and pick-up is during the hours from 8am to 8pm. We are a retired couple and are available for full time care and companionship for your dog. We are generally able to accommodate most schedules. We have a large fenced yard and several spaces within our home to accommodate the needs and personalities of various dogs. Many dogs are anxious when they are in a new environment and we do our best to alleviate that stress, by carefully monitoring their behaviors.
“Gillian was genuinely so great with the boys. She was also great at communicating with me any concerns that she had. There were some messages that had been made, and she went above and beyond offering to take the items to try to wash them at her house. I would never expect that from somebody but even the offer was such a kind gesture. I’m so glad my pups had someone so caring and attentive to take care of them while I was out of town.”
“Lauren did an excellent job with my cats, one who happens to be diabetic. I could tell she is truly an animal lover, and took such great care of them. She listened well, and followed the instructions I gave her. She is willing to learn and also very personable. This was my first experience using a pet sitter other than a friend, and I will be very comfortable hiring Lauren again in the future! Thank you Lauren for giving us peace of mind while we were away!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of all age and sizes since I was a child. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to do anything their pet needs while they’re away. In the future I’m looking to take a dog training course and slow transition into that as a full time job. Every morning I wake up and immediately tend to the dogs and let them outside to use the bathroom and play around, then we come Inside to eat breakfast to start the day. We go outside about 3x daily to potty and play. I have a big privacy fenced in yard for play time. I have 4 dogs of my own. However I typically do not let them converse with my boarding dogs unless known that they are friendly.
About: I provide tailored exercise and loving care for dogs of all shapes and sizes. I understand that your dog is a family member. They deserve the highest level of care. My walks focus on physical exercise, mental stimulation, and safety. I am punctual and communicative. You will receive real-time photo updates and a detailed summary after every single walk if you would like. I work nights so I have plenty of time during the day to take care of your dogs. Weather does not bother me so if it doesn’t bother your dog we are good to go any time. I am Reliable, detail-oriented, and safety-first. When caring for your pets in your home, I strictly follow your routines for feeding, medication, and favorite games. On our walks, I focus on safe neighborhood routes, positive reinforcement, and constant communication so you have total peace of mind while away.
About: I am a huge animal lover with professional experience as a dog walker/sitter. Right now my schedule is pretty flexible. Ideally, I would like to find a few dogs that would like to be walked throughout the week or checked on. I have a 10 + years experience dog sitting short/long term. I'm able to provide great references for the pets I've cared for in the past! I am energetic, fun, and easy to get along with. I like to make the most out of our time together! I like to be outdoors as much as possible. If your dog is comfortable, I would love to take your dog to events, the dog park, and short hikes. Your dog will love the experience I will provide! Dogs usually immediately like me and feel comfortable around me. Dogs of all ages and sizes welcome! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your fue babies! I am currently working part-time. I have plenty of time, as well as a flexible schedule, to attend to your pet with my undivided attention. I pride myself on treating clients pets the same as my own, with lots of love and affection! I am respectful of my clients homes, as well as their desired schedules.
“Staci did a great job with my elderly cocker spaniel. I felt very secure knowing that she was taking care of her during my vacation out of town. I received several pictures and updates on how she was doing while I was gone. I would definitely book her again to care for Tulla. Thank you, Staci?”
About: I grew up on a farm so I've always been around animals. I have experience with dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, etc. Animals don't ask for much so we should try to give them the best life possible. I am not afraid to get dirty and clean up if your animal has an accident. I have a lot of availability right now. I don't have a 9 to 5 job so I can try to fit walks or visits to your schedule. I will double check any safety concerns you have. Whether your dog can be in yard by themselves or if you car is allowed outside at all. If I'm not sure of something I will always ask you first before I do anything.
“Bill and Emma we're great! They're very patient and caring, and made sure our dog was well looked after. They clearly love animals, and we're very happy to recommend them!”
“Angela was a joy to work with. She is always very kind, communicated well with us every step of the way, and treated our cats like they were her own. We will definitely look to hire her again if future visits are needed.”

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 .

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.
