“Paige was the best dog sitter we’ve ever had! She was on time for every visit, very communicative, and sent lots of photos and videos of our dog while we were away. We will definitely be booking with her again in the future!”
“Zoe did a great job with drop in visits/walking Maple and Millie! Excellent communication, on time and the pups loved her! Highly recommend! We will definitely be using her in the near future!! Thank you!”
“I was so nervous about trying to find someone on Rover to take care of my two dogs. Iris answered my last minute booking and was absolutely amazing! She scheduled a meet and greet, and I knew from that point that she takes this seriously and has a love for animals. She did a great job giving us updates and pictures while we were away, and I felt like my pups were in great hands! I could also tell that my dogs really loved her! 100% will book with Iris again ❤️”
“Jordan was a wonderful sitter and took such great care of my cat while my husband and I were on a long trip. She was consistent with her care and provided detailed updates and adorable pictures. Our chronically shy cat really warmed up to Jordan and they were fast friends. As a bonus, Jordan’s sons were welcome and respectful additions. I loved that our cat got to interact with multiple caring people while we were away.”
“Very sweet girl, my Otis took right to her. Prompt on response time. Just really liked her. Would recommend to anyone and hopefully will have the opportunity to use her again in the future.”
“Gabriel is fantastic and does a great job each time he has cared for our dogs. He sends pictures and videos with each visit and notifies us of any concerns. We will continue to use Gabriel in the future!”
“We could not have been in better hands than Brittney’s!! She was so very reassuring to us and our loved ones in her care. We received photos of each pet at each visit. Brittney went out of her way to make us all feel calm and cared for. She’s the best!!”
“Natalee is such a sweet and caring person who genuinely loves the animals in her care. She took the time to come meet us and our cat before the visits started which made us so comfortable. We were gone for an extended period of time and I couldn’t have been happier with the experience. We greatly appreciated all of the photos, updates, notes, time, care, attention and love she gave our fur baby. Will absolutely use her again in the future.”
About: I’ve always had pets in my life, from dogs to cats, and they mean the world to me. With two pups of my own, I know how important it is to provide love, patience, and attentive care. I treat every pet like family—because that’s exactly what they are. I work from home full-time, which means I’m available throughout the day to give pets the love, care, and attention they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or snuggles, I’ll be there to keep them happy and cared for while you’re away.” When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat them just as I would my own. I make sure to follow all routines closely—feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any medications or special instructions. I also give plenty of attention and affection so they feel comfortable and secure while their family is away. I keep the home environment tidy, respect the client’s space, and provide regular updates with photos and messages for peace of mind. My goal is to ensure both the pets and their owners feel confident and cared for throughout the entire experience.
“Joa is awesome! He did such an incredible job taking care of Barky and making sure he got all of the details down. Barky’s (and our) comfort were Joa’s top priority. We greatly appreciate all he did and trust him to watch Barky again!”

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.
