“Karen has been an amazing sitter. My dog, Mia, does not usually get acclimated to new people in a short period of time. Karen has been able to gain her trust. I really do not enjoy leaving Mia, but my mind is at ease now that I know Karen is keeping an eye on her.”
“Clarissa did a great job with my cats! She sent cute photos and made sure they were happy and healthy. My cats seemed totally relaxed around her, and my house was clean when I got back.”
“I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital. Sara was already booked and we had met as I had planned to go away. She modified the booking x2 and my girls seemed happy. There were a few items we reviewed that I felt could be improved and Sara appreciated the feedback. I will use Sara again and hope to give her 5 stars.”
“I had a great experience with Raysa watching my cats over the weekend. She was very friendly, reliable, and clearly loves animals. She took excellent care of my cats, making sure they were well-fed, comfortable, and happy. I really appreciated that she took the time to play with them during her visits — it gave me peace of mind knowing they were getting attention and care while I was away. I would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Kat is an absolute rockstar! We have a lot of cats including a medically complex boy and a number of foster kittens, and Kat was able to take care of all of them! She gave us plenty of updates and was incredible to work with!”
“Danielle was fantastic! I contacted her last minute to do visits while going away. She was very responsive and flexible in accommodating us. It was a great peace of mind knowing that our dogs were cared for so thoughtfully. She sent updates and pictures, which helped us know that our two dogs were okay. Her communication was very much appreciated and we look forward to using her services again!”
About: Dogs are part of the family! They deserve care from someone who truly understands them. I’ve been a lifelong animal lover and dog mama myself for 5+ years, bringing years of first-hand experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, including anxious or reactive pups. My approach is calm, patient, and attuned to each dog’s individual needs. Having worked in the medical field, I’m also confident caring for dogs with medical needs or special care requirements. Your dog gets my full attention! I’m currently on a career break and can't wait to meet all the local pups! I understand how important it is to know your special furry-friend is well cared for when you're away. I also know how unpredictable work and travel can be, and I’m happy to accommodate last-minute requests whenever possible. When caring for pets in your home, my top priority is maintaining their comfort and routine. As a dog-mama and homeowner myself, I treat every pet and home as if they were my own. Things will be kept things tidy and secure, and every pup will receive the same love and attention I give my own dog. Whether we’re out on a walk or relaxing inside, I focus on safety, calm energy, and clear communication so that you always know how your dog is doing.
About: I have been looking after my family and friends dogs for years by providing a loving experience like they’re my own. I also have experience in dog daycare so i have the proper training in animal care I have a completely free schedule to walk or sit your pups at anytime during the day unless my calendar is marked unavailable. :) :) I am great at maintaining dogs on leashes, making sure they get crated safely, I respect others homes and possessions, i will take care of your dogs just like they’re my own
“Deanna is dependable, kind, considerate, and communicative. She went above and beyond when watching my cat for 9 days. I came home to a very calm cat, thanks in large part to Deanna spending time with her. She also worked with me to adjust when my flight was delayed. If you are looking for a pet sitter of any kind, I highly recommend you book Deanna.”
“I’ve booked Olivia several times for check-in’s and she is very reliable and always comes through for us in a pinch! Great communication and of course Sully loves her - Thanks Olivia!”
About: I have worked at a dog kennel for the past 3 years and absolutely love caring for animals! I recently graduated with a degree in Animal Science, and working with and learning about animals has always been a passion of mine. I have experience caring for and walking dogs of all different sizes, personalities, and needs. I would love the opportunity to provide your pets with the same love and care I give my own! I'm currently working part time at a dog kennel, so i'm available most weekdays and some weekends for your pet's needs! Due to varying shifts, my general availability is between 12-3 and 7-11. I will always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness. I will be attentive, responsible, and careful to follow each of your pet’s routine and their instructions. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for.
About: I've grown up with all kinds of different animals, so I'm a huge animals person, especially a dog lover. I've also been a dog walker for friends and family for about 3 years now, and I've also been housesitting a lot over the past year. besides that i also work at a dog daycare and am around dogs 24/7, so I'm very familiar with different dogs and behavers. cant wait to meet your fur babies! I currently work part time, so i have tons of time to hangout with your fur babies! I'm mostly available in the afternoon, but i can normally work around my work schedule to make things work. i have a fenced in yard, and 3 friendly dogs. i can easily crate 1 or more dogs if needed. it really comes down to whatever my client is comfortable with, and whatever the safest option is.
About: If your pet could choose their sitter, I’m hoping they’d pick the person who is already excited to meet them! I’ve grown up around animals my whole life, and I’ve always had a soft spot for the furry members of the family. I haven’t been able to have pets of my own for a while, so I’ve happily adopted my friends’ cats and dogs instead—affectionately calling them my **“furry nieces and nephews.”** I’m the person who wants to hear all about their personality, remembers their favorite treats, and is perfectly happy spending an unreasonable amount of time giving them attention. Last year, I took that love a step further and volunteered at a local animal shelter, where I spent my time walking and caring for dogs. I absolutely loved it and realized that getting to know different animals—and figuring out what makes each one comfortable and happy—is something I genuinely enjoy. What I think sets me apart is that I don’t see pet sitting as simply stopping by to feed a pet and check a box. **I want your pet to actually have a good time while you’re away.** Whether that means a long sniff-filled walk, an energetic game of fetch, a cozy afternoon of cuddles, or simply sitting nearby for a nervous pet who needs some company, I’m happy to meet them where they are. Every animal has their own personality, quirks, routines, and preferences, and I love getting to know them. My goal is for your pets to feel safe, loved, and completely spoiled—and for you to feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’m looking for a flexible way to spend more time doing something I genuinely love, and I’d be thrilled to add your pets to my ever-growing list of furry nieces and nephews. ❤️🐶🐱 One of the best things about my schedule is that I work two part-time jobs, and both are very flexible. This allows me to build pet care into my day and offer visits at different times rather than being tied to a traditional 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, with even more flexibility on the weekends. I can also make multiple visits throughout the day when your pet needs a little extra attention. My typical availability looks like: Mondays & Wednesdays: I have the most flexibility and can usually stop by up to three times throughout the day. Tuesdays, Thursdays & Fridays: These days are a little busier, but I can still provide a morning visit and an evening visit after 4 PM. Weekends: I have more flexibility and can make multiple visits throughout the day depending on your pet’s needs and location. I know every pet has a different routine, and I’m happy to work with you to create a schedule that keeps your pet comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Whether your cat needs a quick morning check-in, some evening playtime, or multiple visits throughout the day, I have the flexibility to make it work. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. When caring for a pet in their home, I treat their space and routine with the same respect I would want for my own home and animals. I take the time to learn your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications if needed, litter box or potty routines, favorite toys, hiding spots, and any quirks or behaviors I should know about. I know that cats especially can be sensitive to changes, so I try to keep things as familiar and stress-free as possible while you’re away. I’m also very mindful of home security. I make sure doors are securely closed, follow any instructions regarding alarms or entry, and am careful with windows, doors, and anything else your pet might get into. I’ll never leave a pet in an unsafe situation or do anything outside of the care instructions you’ve provided. Most importantly, I want you to feel comfortable knowing that someone trustworthy is looking after your pet and your home. I’m happy to send updates, photos, and little check-ins so you can see how your furry family member is doing while you’re away. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable in their own home—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away.
About: Hi! I’ve been taking care of my family’s pets since I was young. I love to take my chocolate lab for daily walks and/or to the park. You can count on me to take care of your furry friends! I am currently working part-time, so I have a lot of free time and a flexible schedule. I am available throughout the weekdays and some weekends. I have a fenced-in yard that I play with my dog in. I also live 5 minutes from a fenced-in dog park with a long trail for walking.
“Ashley is an awesome pet sitter! We left our kitty (who has never been left alone before) in our home for 5 days. We felt apprehensive leaving Koori but Ashley was excellent! She was consistent, attentive to all of our cat’s needs and very knowledgeable. She also took time to try and befriend our shy cat. We highly recommend this sweet pet sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of dogs for friends, family, and acquaintances for 20 years. I have experience with dogs of all sizes and have also administered daily medication. Myself and my husband have flexible hours and one of us is usually home. We are only not home for about 4 hours total a day. I have some experience in basic training as well. I have a dog park within 5 minutes of my home to be able to run and play. We do not have a fenced in yard, but we will be getting one in the near future. I live in Nazareth so the town is very quiet, but close to everything. Dogs are allowed on all furniture and can even come to bed with us. We want your dog to feel like part of our family.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Palmer Heights
Sydney was amazing! We had a last minute family event and she was quick to help us out. It was so nice to keep Oakland in our home where she is relaxed and comfortable. I got lots of pictures and updates which just really allowed me to enjoy my time, stress-free. Our girl had a few accidents out of excitement but Sydney handled it and even sent me pictures of where they were so I knew for when I came home. I can't say enough great things about Sydney and we are relieved to know we have someone for the future if she's available. Punctual, on-time, and overall will care for your pet with compassion.
I was unexpectedly admitted to the hospital. Sara was already booked and we had met as I had planned to go away. She modified the booking x2 and my girls seemed happy. There were a few items we reviewed that I felt could be improved and Sara appreciated the feedback. I will use Sara again and hope to give her 5 stars.
Juliette has been just wonderful to work with! We are truly thankful to have found her and our Rottweiler agrees!! Our most recent experience with Juliette was to provide 3 check-in visits over two days, including at meal time and bedtime. Juliette showed up right on time and spent a full 30 minutes with our boy each time, making sure he was comfortable and all his needs were met! She is reliable, dependable, communicates well, and is great with our 11 year old Rotty! Thank you again, Juliette!!
Danielle was super accommodating even on a holiday and last minute. I work in the medical field and work long hours, therefore, I was really appreciative of her being able to stop in and hang out with my Nitra girl! She took care of my 80 pound German Shepherd no problem. :) Definitely booking with her again!
Amber is the kind of sitter you hope to find but rarely do—clinically competent, deeply attentive, and immediately trustworthy. We were in a genuinely stressful, last-minute situation involving travel complications, a sitter cancellation, and a medically fragile cat who required multiple daily medications. Amber stepped in calmly and professionally and put us at ease from the start. Her veterinary background was immediately apparent—not only in how confidently and correctly she administered medications, but in the quality of her observations and judgment. Her updates were meticulous and genuinely reassuring. She consistently reported on appetite, litter box habits, behavior, breathing, and overall demeanor, with a level of detail that reflected both clinical knowledge and real attentiveness. She handled a nervous, medication-averse cat with patience and skill, never forcing interactions and always prioritizing his comfort and safety. Amber also went above and beyond with practical care—cleaning dishes, tidying feeding areas, checking doors and lights, and making sure everything was exactly as it should be before leaving. Her communication was impeccable: punctual arrival and departure notices, clear explanations of what was done, thoughtful questions when appropriate, and precise adherence to instructions. In a situation where trust truly mattered, Amber earned ours completely. We would book her again without hesitation and recommend her without reservation, especially to anyone with cats who require medical care or a sitter with true clinical competence and excellent judgment.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
