“Kristen took amazing care of my boys on short notice. She was very patient and understanding of Nikolai being timid at first and he warmed up quickly to her kindness. I seldom leave the boys and I felt so comfortable and thankful to have Kristen stop in twice first Nilla and Nikolai so I could tend to a family matter out of town. I came home to two happy boys!”
“Jessica has a true compassion for animals, nature and the area we live in! I am so thankful she cared for Sadie in addition to helping me get a bird out of trap. :) Would highly recommend!! Beyond sweet and goes above and beyond to help.”
“Sherry and Kevin are lifesavers! Sherry got back to me quickly, and they were willing to help us out with our 3 dogs while we were moving. She was unphased by our senior dog’s mobility issues and her husband Kevin became our 3 year old bloodhound’s best buddy! We got pictures and an update with each drop in, and we felt very comfortable leaving our dogs in their care, especially because they have experience owning large breed dogs which is a huge plus for us! We can’t thank them enough for taking such good care of our dogs and we’ll definitely be booking with them in the future!”
About: I come from a family of animal lovers! Cared for birds, reptiles, cats, dogs etc. since as early as 8years old. My mom has been a vet tech and my sister has been a dog trainer for many years and I’ve learned a lot from them and feel very confident in caring for animals and love doing so. I work full time from 8am-5pm Monday through Friday and have an hour break at noon in which I’m able to come home if need be. I am able to watch your pet anytime during the week after 530. And anytime during the weekends. I have one pug that is very friendly and LOVES playing with other dogs big or small. He also loves and does well with other animals.
“Roxanne was fabulous! Very respectful, great listening to the request and follows through very well. Very experience with animals. My animals were very excited to see her every time ! Will be rebooking in the future with her !!”
About: Hi! I'm Laney, a lifelong animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. From high energy puppies to senior pets needing extra TLC, I pride myself on providing personalized, dependable care that fits each pet’s unique personality and routine. What sets me apart is my calm, compassionate approach - whether it's long walks, playtime, or just cuddles and companionship, I treat every pet like they're my own. You can count on me to be attentive, trustworthy, and genuinely passionate about keeping your furry family members safe and happy while you're away! I currently work remotely part-time, so I have tons of free time in my day to give love to your babies! I love going on a daily walk when its not storming so getting your pups exercise in for the day will be no issue! When caring for pets in my home or my client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, stress-free, and familiar environment. I stick closely to each pet’s routine - whether that’s feeding times, walks, medications, or playtime - so they feel comfortable and secure. I pay close attention to their body language and behavior to make sure they’re happy and healthy, and I always keep the space clean, pet-proofed, and cozy. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow any specific instructions to a T. Whether it’s extra belly rubs, special diets, or just quiet companionship, I tailor my care to what each pet needs.
“Kimberly was wonderful with Izzy! She is my baby and she made sure all her needs were met during her visit. I’m in the middle of potty training so she made sure that she both pooped and peed during her visit along with getting in some much needed exercise. Definitely will use Kimberly again :-)”

Reach out to me so we can work something out and make sure your pets have a safe, clean and caring place to stay. Drop - Offs only please! I currently work from home so I will be able to be with your pet at all times and give them all the attention they need! I keep pets happy with tasty meals (or the meals you provide), fresh water, and plenty of playtime! From belly rubs to fetch marathons, I provide love, care, and cozy naps, all while ensuring they’re safe, comfy, and well cared for.
“Valerie was absolutely a 5 star pet sitter!! She treated my little guy just like it was her own!! She has the nicest personality and she was a great person to deal with and showed great attention to all details. Will use her again when needed 109%.!!! Thank you Valerie.!!!”
“My cat, Charlie, is very shy and cautious. Nick has been super patient with getting him on his good side! Charlie has warmed up to him so much, especially with this last visit. I always get so many pictures and videos which is something any pet parent would appreciate!”
“Boots is well fed and quite content. Everything was done as needed and left clean and tidy which is super important with a rambunctious cat. We’re so grateful Katie was available to look after him. Altogether a terrific first time experience with Rover. 10/10, Katie! Can’t thank you enough.”
“Lauren is fantastic! We were nervous to hire a sitter for the first time, but it was clear that our babies had a blast while we were gone. We have a cat who usually hides in the closet whenever friends come over to watch him, but he actually came out and let Lauren give him scritches! Her communication was great, she was reliable, and we always knew our pets were doing well.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats around me for most of my life, from growing-up on a farm in Maryland to working large animal husbandry at the Virginia Tech Veterinary School to sharing a 1-bedroom studio with two cats in Roanoke City, and I’ve always loved all animals. All! Right now, I have one dog and three cats of my own, and they are very much part of my family. I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I enjoy walks, playtime, and just hanging out with them and giving them attention. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pets when you’re away, and I’ll care for yours just like I care for my own. I’m currently in the process of my Pet-CPR/First Aid certification. I’m working a flexible schedule (as a Referee). When I’m at work, Nalini (my wife), will be there at home with your pet. So, your pet would never be there alone day or night. The most respect, care, compassion, and hugs!! There’s separate pet living spaces in my house for accommodating your pets needs, and we have a friendly and vaccinated dog.

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.
