About: Hello! I am new to Rover, thank you for giving me a chance! Dogs have been a huge part of my life since the day I was born. I was raised to treat dogs as part of our family because they definitely are. I currently have a yorkie and she is 2 years old. She is my world! She got very sick a year ago and I nursed her back to health. I am currently working part-time. I have plenty of time to take your dogs on walks and play with them at the park, so we can get in as much exercise and play time as possible! I will always keep your dog on the leash. I can take them to dog parks and take them off the leash to let them roam free within a gated area if that is okay with you. If not they would stay on the leash at all times.
“Ashley took care of my cat Callie while I visited my family out of state for a few days. She followed my instructions and paid attention to all the details I asked of her. Ashley was prompt and posted pictures of Callie each and every visit. Was so nice to feel comfortable while I was away that she was well taken care of. Ashley was by far the best sitter I have ever had for Callie.”
About: I’ve owned and cared for a German Shepherd for the past 7 years, which has given me experience with large, energetic dogs and daily routines like walking, feeding, supervision, and exercise. I’m confident handling stronger breeds and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I have also met people with cats and love being around cats. Feeding, Reassurance, Playfulness, Walks are all my strong suit. I've been around dogs and cats all my life and would love to meet more! I’m currently a college student with a flexible schedule, which gives me time throughout the week to care for pets, walks, drop ins, and playtime. I’m active, reliable, and able to give pets plenty of attention and exercise. I’m available most afternoons, evenings, and weekends, and I always make sure pets stick to their normal routines as closely as possible. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making pets feel comfortable in my care. I have experience handling dogs through owning a German Shepherd, so I understand the importance of supervision, consistency, and exercise. I pay close attention to each pet’s behavior and needs, follow owner instructions carefully, and make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for at all times.
“Lyndsay is so fantastic! She was able to stop in to check on my pets. My dog takes some time to warm up to people, and Lyndsay gave him the time and space he needed to get comfortable with her. She made sure he ate, got to go outside, and sent pictures and updates and followed his routine perfectly! My very shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello too - highly recommend and would absolutely have Lyndsay watch my pets again!”
“Michelle was amazing with our sweet Dixie (4 month old golden retriever puppy)! After our first phone call with her, we knew Dixie would be in excellent hands. Michelle was very attentive and kept us updated throughout the day. We will absolutely be booking her again the next time we are in town; we couldn’t have dreamed of a better pet sitter.”
About: I've had pets my whole life, a Boxer when I was little! So big dogs don't scare me. I also have experience with cats. I have one super sweet kitty back at home and one... not so much. I get how to handle all kinds of personalities! I'm good with puppies, teaching them the basics, and I'm really patient with older pets. I'll make sure your fur baby is happy and gets all the love while you're gone! So give me a text or call. Pet care totally fits into my daily and weekly routine! I'm used to the whole feeding, litter box cleaning, and playtime routine with my cats. I'm super responsible about it. And growing up with a dog, I'm used to the whole walking, feeding, and poop-scooping thing as well! I know how important it is to keep things consistent for pets, so I'll make sure to stick to their regular schedule and give them lots of attention. When I'm caring for pets in my home I make sure they have a safe and comfy space set up just for them! I know my cats like little beds so I always make sure they each have their own or more. I'll keep them on their regular feeding schedule and make sure they get plenty of playtime and cuddles. If I'm caring for pets in your home, I'll follow all your instructions super carefully. I'll make sure to keep everything clean and tidy, and I'll send you updates and pics so you know your fur baby is doing great! (Not available anymore since I am in a dorm)
“I’m so glad Megan was available to take care of our shy, curious cat. She was great with the special instructions we had for our cat and plants. Sebby always hides from new people, but he really warmed up to her! Even when we were on vacation, we were eager to read her extremely well written updates. At the end, she said thanks for the chance to spend time with him. So thoughtful! Would definitely ask if she’s available the next time we need a sitter.”

I make sure pets have access to fresh water, regular potty breaks, a clean and comfortable environment, and plenty of supervision.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Placentia
Sarah was AMAZING!! So communicative and eager to go above and beyond for my kitty. My cat doesn’t like new people and Sarah was extremely patient and understanding of her needs. She gave a play by play of what was going on, and offered to clean up the litter and hairball/vomit which happened while she was checking on my cat. Will absolutely book again, and I’d recommend Sarah to anyone needing a drop in sitter.
Lena was an absolutely fantastic caretaker for my boy Bruno! I was out of the country and missed my boy like crazy, but Lena sent pictures and updates which truly helped ease my mind while I was away. I am so thankful to have found such a wonderful caretaker like Lena! 🩷
Maira was great to work with! We met up beforehand to get my pup familiar with her so when the time came for the actual drop-in it was smooth sailing. I also appreciated how thoughtful she was to tuck away a package that she saw I had received at my doorstep while I was away. Would highly recommend for her thoughtfulness and attentive care (: Would book with her again!
Jenn, Thank you so much for checking on Pepper while I was in Louisiana. She had a change in her normal behavior while I was away and you kept me updated and were super responsive and generally just wonderful. I really appreciate the pet report card and the pictures and all of it! Thank you so much
Dhalia was an absolute dream to work with! I was a bit nervous because I had never used a drop in service before but Dhalia’s professionalism and willingness calmed my nerves. I felt safe with her in the AirBnB with all the unexpected dog activity near Biscuit. Biscuit isn’t a cuddler in general and to hear that she felt comfortable enough to hang as such with Dhalia was a testament to how well she was with anxious pets. I LOVED her report card they were so detailed and all the pictures and videos of her wiggly little butt were soooo awesome. If I am ever in the area again with Biscuit I will 💯 will be using her again!
Lyndsay is so fantastic! She was able to stop in to check on my pets. My dog takes some time to warm up to people, and Lyndsay gave him the time and space he needed to get comfortable with her. She made sure he ate, got to go outside, and sent pictures and updates and followed his routine perfectly! My very shy cat even came out of hiding to say hello too - highly recommend and would absolutely have Lyndsay watch my pets again!
Desiree is a wonderful dog sitter! She is extremely knowledgable, enthusiastic, and kind. She is an excellent communicator, always letting me know exactly how my puppy did, what commands they practiced, and when she arrives/leaves. I have peace of mind that my puppy is in great hands when I’m nor there. I love that she helps him practice leash-walking and his commands, plays with toys, and even sets up developmentally-appropriate games with him.
Mirae is the cat whisperer! My kitties are so shy that they hide from everybody. The minute someone comes to the door they are just streaks diving under the bed. But they let Mirae pet them and even asked for attention. Mirae was faithful to the times I requested and sent pictures so I could see how good the kitties were.doing. I will definitely be using Mirae’s services 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.
