“Alma was friendly and responsive, sending a report card with a photo after each visit. I have two cats, one social and the other who's shy with strangers and while my shy one didn't come out, which was expected, she still got treats. Thank you so much!”
“Jazmin was so amazing!!! Truly incredible person with so much care for my sweet girl! Took her time coming to meet her beforehand and even fed a churu. I felt immediately comfortable with leaving the keys with her knowing she would be taking great care of her! No hesitation to book you again Jazmin and recommend you to everyone. Thank you!!”
“Hans is an absolute hero yet again!! Looked after our two cats with love, care, and great communication! As always their vote counts the most, and they were in fine spirits when we got back. 10/10 would recommend Hans!!”
“Kendra was very attentive to our animals. She gives detailed check ins with pictures. I felt our animals were well cared for. I will definitely request her again.”
“Debbie is the absolute best! Couldn’t recommend her any higher. Provides incredible updates and tons of pictures! we always feel okay leaving knowing that Debbie is around to check on the cats. The ultimate peace of mind.”
“Dustin took excellent care of our 8-year old, black lab and shy, 10-year old kitty. Dustin is a great communicator and paid close attention to our pets’ needs. Plus, he took wonderful photos of them! We highly recommend Dustin and look forward to using him again. Thank you, Dustin!”
“Cecilia is amazing. My dog and two cats love her. She treated them as her own and the pictures she sent me everyday were totally reassuring that they were being well taken care of and weren’t freaking out that I wasn’t home. This is the first time I was actually able to relax and enjoy my vacation, without worry. It’s such a peace of mind, knowing I can plan future trips without the stress of my fur babies well being♥️”
“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!”
“Ana is a true gem. I’m so glad I chose her from the start. She is extremely professional, conscientious, caring, and communicative. One thing I love is how she puts a soothing YouTube video of “doggy slumber time,” that plays lullabies, when she leaves. When I check my camera later, my dog is sound asleep on the couch. It’s so cute.”
“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”
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.
About: Use my promo code CORINP14452 for $20 off your first booking! Hi there! I’ve loved animals my whole life. I’ve had many cats, an Australian Shepard, a Maltese, hamsters, and even a snake. I have volunteered at a dog rescue, and I have experience walking and sitting all sorts of dogs— small, large, young and excited, old and a bit slower, trained, untrained. I've raised dogs and cats and have done the whole shabang- training, potty-training, cleaning up messes, etc. I understand things happen and am patient with them. I'm happy to play with your pets, take dogs on walks, and give them extra love while you are away! I am a clear, honest communicator. I want you to be aware if anything happens you need to know about to ensure the safety of your pet. I have been on your end of Rover, and I know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet with someone you don’t know very well. So I will send consistent updates and pictures, and be available for any questions from you. I can’t wait to meet your furbaby! I will treat them as my own 🩵 I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I have a few meetings spread through the day, but most of the time, I can make drop ins/walks work with whatever schedule is needed. And if I am dog sitting, I will be home all day since I work from home. At my home, I have a fenced in yard. I will supervise any outside time. I will make sure the leash and collar are secured before going on a walk. I don’t put my face in their face, and allow them to take the lead on contact and interaction. I know I’m a stranger to them at the beginning, and know trust needs to be built!
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.

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’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.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Parkway-South Sacramento
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!
Christina was great to work with and I would highly recommend her. She is very communicative and always quick to respond. She was also flexible with my schedule and travel arrangements. Every drop in visit came with a thorough summary with lots of photos and how the visit went. I never had to wonder if my kitty was okay, I felt completely at ease the entire time I was away. Would absolutely book again!
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 ♥️
I cannot possibly recommend Kelsie more highly. In every way she was exceptional. She was very communicative and professional. She went above and beyond when taking care of our dog. He can be shy and timid and she was very kind and calm eventually eating his trust and getting him excited to walk and play which I have not seen before. It was wonderful to see. I cannot overstate enough how continually impressed I was in every way.
Debbie was incredibly caring and thoughtful while watching our bunny. We appreciated all of her care and were very confident that our rabbit was in great hands while we were out of town. She paid attention to detail and followed through with everything we had discussed! Would 100% recommend!
Ashley has been amazing! Owen is a very bashful dog, and she has been so patient and understanding as he gets used to a new walking routine. She has slowly built his trust and is always so encouraging and kind with him. We’re so grateful to have found her and highly recommend Ashley!
We had a last minute request for a weekend visit for our 2 dogs, and they were nice enough to help accommodate our request. They were nice and patient when we mixed up the door code as well. I know our dogs were in great hands with them. They even left our house looking better than when we left. Would 100% recommend booking with them!!

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.
