“Julianna is extremely responsive, kind, and reliable. She took such great care of our cat while we were away, which gave us peace of mind. I would definitely recommend her and book her again. Thank you, Julianna!”

I've always gotten along perfectly fine with pets and I'm sure i'd be a great fit to take care of your fur baby. I'm very patient when it comes to taking care of pets so I could definitely manage with any sort of behavior that may arise! I am a college student and have plenty of time to take care of your pets! I love being around them, whether thats going on a walk or just playing inside! It’s all okay with me! I keep a close eye on every pet, follow your routines and feeding instructions, and make sure pets are securely leashed or indoors. I'll send regular photo updates and contact you right away if anything seems off!
“Megan M. was amazing with my pack (4) of very large boys! She was friendly and professional! I will definitely use her again if I ever need Rover to cover a day my friends and family can't! The boys definitely made a new friend! 🐾💙”
“Our girls loved, Anoti! She was caring and attentive with them. In terms of working with her, she is likely one of the best communicators I have ever experienced. Super responsive!”

Just ask and I’ll will try and accommodate any needs I will always put your loved one’s care and safety first so if I can’t create that environment I will always make the known first
“Darshana was an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of our cats and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and sent us updates so we knew they were doing well. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as we left it. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. We would absolutely trust her with our cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!”
About: I have dog and cat sat for neighbors and through Rover for almost 10 years and have a dog of my own. I love animals and will always take care of your pet as if it were my own. I am generally available in the afternoon and at night on weekdays or anytime on weekends. I can accommodate most visit times if booked in advance. I would be able to care for your cat or dog in your home and would take any safety precautions necessary to keep your pet happy and safe.
“Great with my pets! They were really loved and cared for. And so was my house! He actually vacuumed when my cats kicked litter out but didn’t stop there, vacuumed my whole house! Updates were regular and fun to hear about. Wouldn’t hesitate to hire him and recommend to everyone!! Love him!!”
About: My family once had a dog but he sadly passed away so it increased my passion for pets. I've had experience taking care of my Auntie's dog for 4 years and when I went to college I didn't see him as much but I came back and he remembered me as if no time past. I've constantly been around pets my whole life and have taken care of other peoples pets in emergency situations countless times. I work weekdays (Mon-Thurs) and I am in school but Friday into the weekends I don't do much so the weekend would be a perfect time to request me to care for a pet. Feel free to take a break and go on a weekend dinner date as your pet is left in good hands. I live on a college campus with vigilant security and cameras at every angle in my building but I am not prohibited to care for animals in my space. I am capable of defending myself and protecting the well being of animals at a clients space.
“Thank you so much! I asked for a visit last minute and I’m so happy Yasmine was available. They did everything I asked for, most importantly paying attention to my beautiful Nola. I’m very grateful.”
About: I have been caring for pets since I was 10 years old. I love all animals I always have. I'm a very sensitive soul and I really feel their energy. They seem to love me as well. I've always treated all of my fur babies as just that, part of the family like a very important part! So when I care for your pet rest assured they will have a luxury experience and pretty much run the show. I let them decide where and when to walk and go outside and play and eat, all within your guidelines, of course. I would be honored if u would allow me to care for your amazing fur baby or babies🐾💖 I currently work part-time so I have plenty of time to spend spoiling your fur babies. My schedule can be flexible so please reach out to see if we could be a good fit I am extremely flexible and can customize care to fit you and your pets specific needs and make sure your pets are comfortable and feel at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pleasant Plains
Wonderful experience as always. Very attentive and left great notes to ease our anxiety about leaving our fur babies. Took lots of photos and when our hider decided to disappear from view for a few days she asked where to look to ensure she was still healthy and fine. Once again another great service by Christine.
We couldn't have asked for a better cat sitter than Megan. She was always on time and spent time with my cat. From our initial meet and greet to the final visit, she was very professional and extremely reliable. She sent us photos daily. Would definitely book her again!
Brooke was thorough, attentive, and dependable. She visited our two cats twice each day for a week, giving injectable insulin to our one diabetic cat at each visit. Our other cat is very shy and hides but Brooke always located her (usually finding her under a bed!) to make sure she was okay. Would definitely hire Brooke again!
Darshana was an absolutely amazing cat sitter! She took such great care of our cats and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. She was reliable, communicative, and sent us updates so we knew they were doing well. We came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and everything exactly as we left it. You can tell she genuinely cares about animals. We would absolutely trust her with our cats again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained. She even did some strength exercises with him and gave him plenty of enrichment and attention. I really appreciated how attentive she was and how well she adapted to Fafa’s needs. Would definitely book with her again!
We left our two cats for two weeks—the longest they’ve ever been alone—while we traveled across the country, and we were extremely nervous, especially because one of our cats is very anxious and deeply attached to humans. We found Purva through Rover on our first search, and calling her “sent from animal care heaven” would honestly be an understatement. From the initial meet-and-greet, Purva was warm, down-to-earth, and incredibly reassuring. Before leaving, I set up cameras around the house because we were worried about stress-related behaviors like inappropriate peeing or vomiting, particularly from our anxious cat. Somehow, during those two weeks, our cats seemed happier than when we’re actually home. They were consistently well-fed, the litter box was always clean, and although Purva was scheduled for 30-minute visits each day, she never left until every requested task was completed thoroughly and thoughtfully. Most impressively, our anxious cat—who typically urinates around the house when stressed—did not act out even once during the entire two weeks. That alone speaks volumes. I fully attribute this to Purva’s patience, attentiveness, and genuine care. She arrived on time every day and was even available for last-minute visits during an emergency, which gave us incredible peace of mind. We truly could not have asked for a better cat sitter. Purva exceeded every expectation, and we would trust her with our cats again without hesitation. And one more thing we absolutely loved was that Purva always attended the visits with a member of her family. Safety comes first above everything, and this meant so much to us. It gave us an extra level of comfort and peace of mind knowing she prioritized her own safety while caring for our home and our cats.

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.
