“Maddie was very punctual with my cats! She took great care to ensure they were well taken care of, and she took great photos which let us all relax knowing they were well cared for in our absence! Would definitely have her care for them again!”
“Melanie did a great job with our 4 senior cats! They all looked very happy and content when we got home. I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate rebooking with her again.”
“Kara was a great sitter for Blu while we were away for a bit longer than we ever have been before. She communicated with me very well and gave great updates and pictures during each visit! I would definitely use her again in the future if we needed a dog sitter.”
“How we love Marae!! She is so kind and took such good care of our pups! I feel like I overloaded her with a lot of information to only care for our dogs for a day, but she followed everything so beautifully and went above and beyond. The photos helps me be confident that my dogs are taking care of. Honestly, my dogs are really chill, but I could tell in every picture that they were so comfortable with her and that meant the world to me. Please please book with her if you get the opportunity! I can’t wait to work with her again.”
“Sarah did an amazing job watching our 2 kitties while we were on vacation for a week. Everything was well maintained and I felt at ease seeing her daily check ins. Thank you Sarah!”
“Kylie provided phenomenal care for our cat Winnie and we will definitely reach out to her the next time we travel! We had no worries for Winnie’s care. We knew through Kyle’s many photos and the consistent communication with us that all was well.❤️”

“Heidi sent several photos for each drop-in, gave our dogs the opportunity to be out for the full hour each time, and was very communicative regarding how they ate. We greatly appreciate that she was reliable and honest!”
About: Hi, I’m Nina! I’ve been working in the pet industry for over 7 years, and caring for animals is truly second nature to me. I’ve had the opportunity to work with a wide range of pets with different personalities, needs, and medical requirements, and I always aim to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care. I’m comfortable administering medications and following detailed care routines, including pets with special health needs. I also have experience caring for anxious pets and understand how important patience, consistency, and a calm environment are in helping them feel safe and secure. Whether I’m doing walks, drop-in visits, or in-home care, I treat every pet like my own and focus on making their time away from you as stress-free and comforting as possible.

You can expect reliability, respect for your home, and consistent updates so you always feel confident while you’re away. I will make sure your pet is safe and happy!
“We had a wonderful experience working with Jessica! Jessica took care of our two kittens for about a week while we were on vacation. She was SUPER responsive, quick to reply, and gave us regular updates. It was such a relief knowing our cats were well taken care of while we were away! Our cats were happy and well cared for when we returned. We absolutely would recommend her, and will definitely be booking again in the future!”
About: My experience includes caring for family pets and the pets of others. I've walked, fed, and played with puppies and adult dogs. Since returning to the States, I've been taking care of the family pup. I have a part-time job that will allow time to take care of pets. I love to walk, and as part of my routine, I can share that time by walking with a pet. At the client's home, depending on the client's directions, I'd check on the pet, take them out for a walk, out to do their needs, feed them, or play with them.

Nicole took wonderful care of my little five year old cat Buddy while I was out of town for a long weekend! Buddy is very shy and he avoids new people. Nicole not only fed him and scooped his litter box every day, she provided him with companionship by laying on the floor while talking to him during her daily visits. She gave me the confidence that I needed that I was leaving Buddy in good hands. I will definitely call on Nicole to care for Buddy when I go out of town, again. Five stars!
Baileigh was so thorough with taking care of our cats & helping with one of our cat’s medication. Our cats got some good play time & lots of pets/love from her :) She’s very communicative, accommodating, and reliable! I’d definitely recommend her & ask for her help again in the future when we need to!

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 .

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 .
