“Kelly-Marie is wonderful! I’ve used her several times and will continue to request her. My cat is now familiar with her and she’s so helpful ensuring he’s cared for when I’m on travel!”
“Christy goes above and beyond! Our dog loves her and from one worried mama, I’ve never felt more that our boy was in the best hands. With consistent updates and photos we felt so at ease! We have an older boy too who needs special attention and medication, he was in the best hands. Could not recommend her enough. 🩷”
“Abby is a dog whisperer! She’s a kind human who was super easy to coordinate with. She followed all my instructions and my dogs were very comfortable with her. I’ll definitely use her services again!”
“Tifaney was perfect and exactly what we needed. We have a rather old dog and it was a peace of mind to get her text and pictures each day. We came home after a week away and it was excellent.”
About: Hi, my name is Lauren! I have experience working with a wide variety of working dogs, so I understand the multifaceted care that comes with monitoring and mitigating stress, animal behavior, administering dog first aid and medications, providing fun enrichment and exercise for your pup! As someone who has a senior dog, I am well-versed in accommodating special diets and other habitual needs that your furry friend requires! I will look after them as if they were my own. I currently work part-time that has some flexibility in the mornings and evenings. I don’t work a typical 9-5, weekday kind of job so there’s a chance I can help out while you’re at work! I have a spacious apartment (with big windows to look out of) that is close by to a few parks. I like to take long walks to ensure a proper potty break for your dog, while also providing time for sniffing and exploring. In others homes, I am very respectful of boundaries and following instructions: cleaning up messes that are made, etc. I can also water your plants!
“Thank you so much for taking care of Kimble the last few days! I really appreciate your detailed notes and pictures! I can tell you really bonded with each other. I’ll definitely use you in the future. Thanks again!”
“Alishia is a great neighbor and dog sitter! I highly recommend. She was communicative the whole trip and made sure my dog was fed, had time to potty, and even some cuddles. I felt my dog and home was safe with her visiting when I needed her. Even when my dog fell sick, she went the extra mile to keep me posted and checking on her. I’m glad she is local to Chapel Hill and will be using her services again.”
About: I have been around animals all my life, especially dogs. I have competed in AKC dogs shows and been extremely successful. I competed in Rally-Obedience as well as some agility and I have more ribbons then I care to count. I also used to breed Shetland Sheepdogs and been pet sitting since before I was a teenager. Aside from my home life with my dogs I have also worked at grooming facilities as well as boarding kennels too. I absolutely love spending time with animals. Aside from that, I also graduated from Meredith Manor Equestrian College and have over 20 years of experience with horses and various farm animals. I have owned and worked with horses for 20 years now. I am a full-time pet sitter/farm sitter. So, I can spend all day long with your fur babies! I just completed a 4 moth long farm sitter job, where I cared for 30 horses and 3 cats. I was able to stay with them all day and all night. When I care for a client's fur baby I like to know what the pet's routine and habits are. So I can maintain as close to their daily routine as possible. I know the importance of routine for any fur baby. Animals are creatures of habit and I want them to always feel loved, safe and at home with me.
“Thank you so much for taking such good care of Sunny, sweet pea, and snickers. I really get a lot of anxiety about leaving our dogs and It really means a lot to me to know that they were well cared for. Sarah alleviated almost all of my anxiety. I was able to enjoy our trip and truly be present in the moment, knowing that my dogs were in good hands.”
“Always does a great job with Herschel and follows instructions perfectly. I can Herschel really likes him and Herschel doesn’t like many people. Would definitely recommend for anyone else.”
About: I’ve been house sitting, pet sitting, and babysitting for nearly 15 years. I have plenty of references and pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and flexible to fit your needs. As a self-employed professional, pet care naturally fits into my everyday routine—allowing me to provide consistent, attentive, and flexible care throughout the day. Your pets aren’t squeezed into a busy schedule—they’re part of it. I have a fenced in backyard. I am very vigilant and attentive when it comes to animals. Very trustworthy and have plenty of references that I can provide.
“Leah checked in and sent a picture of my boy every time she visited while I was away, and he seemed so happy in every shot. Leah is courteous and reliable, and I'm really glad she was the person to drop in while I was not home. I highly recommend Leah and will I hire her again the next time I have to be away.”

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.
