“Bailey was awesome and communicated so well, even when our kitty was mischievous and got into the treats by himself. Thankful she was with our little guy during our trip. Highly recommend!”
“Adrianna is by far the best cat-sitter. She is incredibly thoughtful and caring. Her check-in’s always give me peace of mind that my fur babies are happy and healthy when we are away! Thank you BUNCHES, Adriana, for always taking the best care of our kitties! 😻😻”
“Melinda was excellent watching my 2 pups! She was on time - showed up when she said she would and stayed the amount of time stated! She took very good care of my pups - including my 14 year old Abby. She took time to throw the frisbee to my full of energy 3year old Winston. I would definitely use her again and highly recommend!”
“Phedre is amazing. She is dependable and shows she cares for all three of our fur babies. We are so happy to have found someone we can trust and we will definitely continue to use her services.”
“Josey was absolutely fantastic for our pups Sailor and Zazu. She communicates well, often, and is thoughtful in asking questions. If you are like me it is the most comforting to have someone you trust, your dogs love, and shows up for them when they need her. I will absolutely be checking to see if Josey is available for future visits!”
“We booked Alisa for a long trip we had planned. (9 days) From the very first meet & greet, my kitties were relaxed, curious and friendly with her. She did an awesome job. She arrived on time, and from the photos, I could see the cats were curious and slowly getting to know her. She gave me just enough little commentary to know all was well and to bring me a few smiles. She reached out with a couple of relevant questions. She also made our homecoming so great...all the trash was taken out, she vacuumed up the kitty litter that they always spill out, and it was clear that they were happy campers. Thanks so much Alisa, we look forward to having you back when we travel again.”
“Mikayla is the best! Sultan loves her and he’s always so much more calm after she visits while I’m gone. She even helps refresh his bone broth when it runs low 😆”
“Sara is a total pro. A testament to Rover. We could tell she loves animals and takes this seriously. Great communication, flexibility, and follow-through. Our puppy was searching the house for her last night!”
About: I am a veterinary assistant and have worked and surrounded myself with animals my whole life. I’ve volunteered at animal shelters, worked with vets, and was a dog handler and a doggie daycare over the past few summer years. I have experience with cat, dogs, fish, rodents, reptiles, and more. I love hiking and spending time outside as well, so hikes with dogs are more than welcome! I recently moved to Boise and am excited to get to know the area, so taking your dog on walks is the perfect excuse for me to explore ;) I work Monday-Friday from 8am to 5pm so i before and after my shift I can take care of your furry, scaly or slimy friends! I also don’t work weekends at all so my availability is wide open! When working with animals in their own homes, I think it’s important to understand you’re coming into their space and to work slowly to earn their trust! I have worked with many different animals and know how to read body language, so if your pet is uncomfortable I know how to work with them and listen to their needs.
“Kaylah was fantastic and so flexible with our changing needs. I really felt like she cared about doing what was best for the dogs, not just checking off a task. She really went above and beyond and I would definitely recommend her!”
“Rachel did an excellent job caring for our pets. She was responsive and we could tell she went above and beyond to care for our cat Toby! I would definitely book with Rachel again for our next trip.”
“Elisa took care of my 2 old cats multiple days. She followed the instructions I left and went beyond that with extra effort. She reported through Rover each day she visited and included pictures. My cats seemed very happy with her and even let her pet them! I will definitely request Elise if we travel again.”
“Kristi is always great! She did daily drop-ins to give meds to my cat while I was in the mountains, and helped out with my other cat. She even worked around the pet sitter who was house sitting. I loved receiving all the photos from each day when I reentered cell range. It was such a great feeling.”
About: Hello my name is Kaitlin and I am a wife and registered nurse looking to enrich my life and make extra income by taking care of your dogs! I am experienced with all breeds large and small, I have a house with a large fenced in yard. I have dog sat for neighbors as they traveled and am home most days. I walk or run 2-3 miles a day and would love to have a furry friend to join me. I have flexibility in my schedule and am happy to help you out and work with you to create a schedule you are happy with. I live with my Husband who is a veteran. We have two fur babies of our own. I look forward to getting to know you and your dogs, and answer any questions you may have! I am available most days to walk dogs and check on them throughout the day in their own home. I do have two dogs of my own so I won’t be able to board in my home. I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I absolutely love dogs and would love to have an animal sanctuary one day.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Perkins
WOW, WOW, WOW. This was an amazing experience. Kelcy took such grea care of my cat. I loved the daily pictures and the synopsis of what he was like after each visit. While on vacation, I looked at those pictures many times. It was such a relief knowing he was perfectly taken care of. I even made one of the pictures she took of him as my new background screen. 10 out of 10 experience. I would not hesitate to use her again and recommend her!!!
Kassidy did an amazing job caring for our very loved senior cat Peach who needs frequent drop-in visits. We had lots of reassurance Peach was in good hands when Kassidy provided regular updates and photos of her while we were on an extended trip away from home. I definitely recommend Kassidy to anyone in need of a caring and capable cat sitter!
Ashley is great! We are so glad we found her to watch our two boys. Right away upon meeting her, I could immediately tell she’s an animal lover. Our gold retriever gives a lot of kisses and leaves a lot of golden dust after which isn’t for the faint of heart. She is extremely interactive and provides lots of pets and snuggles. Ashley came to our home to check in on our pups while we were out of town. Our dogs love her! She sent pictures everyday, gave them lots of hugs and play time and made sure they had a lot of attention during her drop in. Thank you!

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.
