“Gillian is reliable and a great communicator. She was very good with my pup that has high energy. I would definitely recommend her and have her pet sit my corgi again!”
“Jazmin was a great pet sitter for my baby girls while I was away on a last minute business trip! She was super attentive and had excellent communication when she came to visit. Definitely recommend booking if you need someone to swing by for a few days!”
About: Animals have always held a special place in my heart, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Throughout my life, I’ve helped rescue stray kittens, safely return lost dogs to their families, and provided loving end-of-life care for my childhood dog. These experiences have taught me patience, empathy, and the importance of making every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic care, or simply providing companionship, I’m dedicated to treating every pet as if they were my own. I work part-time as an after-school program manager, with my workday beginning at 11:00 AM and ending at 6:30 PM on weekdays. This allows me to be available for morning visits, walks, feedings, drop-ins, and other pet care before 11:00 AM. I’m also fully available on weekends, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive care, overnight stays, extended visits, or last-minute bookings. I take pride in being dependable, communicative, and making sure every pet receives the love and attention they deserve while their owners are away. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly apartment community with plenty of safe walking paths and several nearby parks within walking distance, making it easy to provide regular exercise and outdoor time without the need for car rides if your pet isn’t comfortable traveling. I also have crates available if your pet is crate-trained or needs a secure space to relax. Although I currently don’t have any pets of my own after recently saying goodbye to my childhood dog, my home is already stocked with cozy beds, toys, and other pet essentials to help your furry friend feel welcome and at home. I strive to create a calm, clean, and loving environment where every pet receives personalized attention and is cared for like family.
“Justin is fantastic, took really good care of my cat while I was away. She warmed up to him quickly and it was so great to know she was getting some love and attention each day.”
“Consistently excellent service and care. With Debbie looking after our two cats, one of which has diabetes and needs insulin injections, we have peace of mind when we go out of town. Debbie is the first person we ask for pet care when we go on a trip, and we don’t plan to change that!”
About: Been around all sorts of pets for about 5 years. I am trusted to train, bathe, feed and walk your pets. I have done a Heimlich press on a dog before. Not available between 1pm-6pm due to other work. Since I just recently graduated, I have literally all the time in the world to go for walks and dog sit whenever needed by any dog owner! Preferably to watch a clients pet at the clients home for more comfortability. I am able to drive, and if needed will take your pet for a walk anywhere allowed by my clients.
About: I'm new to Rover, but well-experienced in cat care. My home is like a ready-made daycare for the three of them. I'm like that helicopter mom who's always making sure my babies are safe and well cared for, and I will do the same for your pets. In the past, not only have I taken care of my animals, but I have also looked after strays walking through my apartment building. Especially during kitten season, mama cats need help the most. And if the neighbor's cat strays my way, I don't mind giving them a treat and some companionship, too. That's how I am with the furry ones; I'm there for them. And I will look forward to doing the same for your pets if you hire me for drop-in visits. I also want to point out that my services are for cats, but I would be more than happy to tend to your dog the same way if you have one at no additional charge right now. And that includes feedings, replenishing the water bowl, playing with them, administering meds (topical, not injections), and a little grooming. And because this is a DIV, sorry, I won't be doing dog walking. This saves me time in order to make it to my next client. Because I'm new at this, I prefer to do drop-in visits right now. I can do drop-in visits up to six days a week, in the afternoon. Just let me know how many days out of the six you need me. When hired, I will give your pet or pets plenty of play time and TLC. If you have specific instructions, such as how to administer meds, please let me know. I would also like to point out that, because I'm new here at Rover, I don't have any testimonials. Therefore, I'm willing to give you the best service possible and exchange for one.
About: Hi, I'm Kristina and I've been a veterinarian technician for 5 years! I treat every pet in my care with the same patience, affection, and devotion I give my own dog, Echo. I specialize in customized care tailored to your pet's unique personality—from energetic playtime and structured walks to gentle belly rubs and quiet companionship. I love keeping owners updated with frequent photo updates and detailed check-ins so you never have to worry while you're away. To ensure the safety and well-being of your pet, I require the assistance of a second person for administering injections or difficult medications if the animal becomes highly uncooperative. This helps keep stress low and procedures safe for everyone. I'm currently looking to sit for your fur babies part time while I'm out navigating a new work schedule for the time being Routine & Comfort: Keeps pets stress-free in their familiar environment by sticking strictly to their normal feeding, walking, and sleep schedules. Health & Safety: Precise administration of medications, daily litter/yard cleanup, secure handling, and close monitoring for any behavioral changes.
“Natalie was great! She was friendly and came to meet my two cats in advance. She made sure they had their food, scooped the litter boxes, and gave one cat the medicine he needed. She stayed and played with them a bit and cleaned up an accident they had on one of our carpets. Natalie was always on time and sent videos and thorough updates. Will definitely book her again for our next trip.”
“Ana is very caring, attentive and loving with my cat Jerry. I liked that she asked very specific questions about what he needs. She took pics and a cute video of him during her visit. I will be happy to hire her again.”

I’ll also send plenty of photo and video updates because I know how much it means to see your fur baby happy while you’re away. As for your home, I treat it with the same respect I would my own. I’ll keep it clean, secure, and cared for, bring in the mail, water plants if needed, and leave everything just as you left it—or cleaner! My job is to make sure you come home to a happy pet, a well-cared-for home, and absolutely nothing to worry about. That’s the kind of peace of mind I’d want if someone were caring for my own furry family members.
“Darlina was great with our two dogs, and we felt very secure about leaving them on Christmas Day for several hours. Everything went smoothly, and we will definitely ask Darlina to Dogsit again!”
“Ava, Thank you for the super meeting we had. Poppy and us enjoyed your interaction with our family. We look forward to seeing you again. Most sincerely, Michelle”
“Thank you, Felicia, for taking such great care of Chai! Chai, our beloved, but sometimes grumpy cat really enjoyed your company, which says a lot. We look forward to future pet sitting with Felicia; she’s communicative, reliable, and super friendly! Highly recommend!!”
“Very easy to communicate with Dustin! He took some pics of that animals while he visited and reported back once his visit was done. Very nice to have someone to count on in a pinch!!”
About: I’ve taken care of many pets since I was 13 years old. My family, my friends, my peers know I love pets and would do anything for them. I’m currently working a part time job but I am open for any availability! Anytime works and I can work around your schedule as well. I have a pet friendly home, where they will be able to eat, drink, and play as well. I have a yard outside whereas they’d be able to potty outside.
About: I approach each dog as individuals to understand their personalities. As a pet parent, I’ve owned five dogs, three of which unfortunately have moved on to the rainbow bridge. I currently have a 5 year old Aussie and a 3 year old border collie mix, both a calm and friendly to dogs, cats, and people. I work a regular job from 8am - 4:30pm M-F, with remote work from W-F. My availability are any remote days and weekends. I can watch your dogs at home during those days or check in on them after work hours and anytime in the weekends. I spoil my dogs and cats. I make sure to play with them daily and take them for walks. Having an Aussie and border collie demands it! Both our dogs know when it’s bed time and sleep in our bedroom. Luna the border collie sleeps in our bed, the best snuggle bug ever.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkway
Five stars! She took wonderful care of Penny, Stella, and Winston and sent us plenty of photos and thoughtful updates. She went above and beyond, even cleaning and refilling our chickens’ water dishes, which wasn’t part of her booked care! It gave us such peace of mind knowing our pups were getting so much love and attention. We WILL happily book her again and highly recommend her!
Alma is incredibly patient and kind. Her calm demeanor is evident within minutes of meeting her. We have a cat who has shown she is not the happiest with new people in her home, but needs daily meds. Alma went the extra mile to ensure Wynnie was comfortable, but most importantly, took her much needed medication. Thank you so much, Alma!
Kendra is great!!!! My fur baby is 17 so I get nervous leaving her. Kendra sent pics along with a short message of how things were going for each visit. That was so nice and definitely left me feeling better about traveling. Thank you Kendra for all you do for Kohl ♥️
Hilda was great! She was very responsive and very punctual with our check ins. My cats felt very comfortable and safe with her, and she shared great pictures and updates of the care she took of them. I will absolutely reach out to her again whenever I’m out of town!

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.
