“Danica was great with Sophie (who is now a senior and needs her daily meds). Responds quickly, made last minute alterations as requested (my fault that I had my dates wrong), and followed all of Sophie’s needs to a T. Would highly recommend!”
“Highly recommend Regan, she took great care of our 4 month old pup. She went the extra mile to make sure he settled down before leaving and kept us in the loop the whole time.”
“We recommend Matt for your pet care. He took care of our 2 dogs and 2 cats while we were on vacation coming three times a day. Matt is very reliable and connected well with all of the pets.”
“Libby came in CLUTCH after a pet sitter left me high and dry at the last minute. She made sure all pets were healthy and fed, changed out litter and spent some solid snuggle time with my three critters. Truly a wonderful kind person, will ? be re-booking in the future.”
“Ciana did a fantastic job to care for our cats while we were away. She was always prompt each day, spent time to bond with the cats, and kept things tidy around the house and sent us pictures each day. 5 stars!”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Carly! She took fantastic care of our German Shepherd, Ruby, while we were away. Ruby can be a bit hesitant with new people, but Carly was incredibly patient, gentle, and kind. She took the time to build trust, and it wasn’t long before Ruby completely warmed up to her. Carly made sure Ruby was well-fed, sticking closely to her routine, and always kept us updated so we knew she was in great hands. She even cleaned up a little oopsy accident in the house without hesitation, handling it with total grace and compassion. What touched us most was how affectionate and loving she was with Ruby, sharing cuddles, giving her attention, and making sure she felt safe and cared for the entire time. It was clear Ruby was not just looked after, but loved. We came home to a happy, relaxed pup, and we are beyond grateful. Carly is a true gem, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a warm, reliable, and truly exceptional sitter. Thank you, Carly! 🐾💛”
“Laura was so amazing with Finn! She provided updates throughout the visits and sent great pics. She watched him while I had my wedding and it was so nice to know he was in good hands!”
“If you’re searching for someone to love your pets on the same level as you do…then I’d suggest you request Gillian. She has absolutely been the best to work with. She puts your mind at ease, she’s very adaptable and flexible to life.”
About: I love all types of animals, and I always have. I have been taking care of my dogs as much as I can for the past three years. I have taken care of my family members and friends' dogs for a while. They think of me first because I am caring, considerate, and I can't say no to a cute, fluffy face. I am good at controlling behavior on walks, food-motivated tasks, and getting them to trust me. I hope you will trust me with your pets. I just got done with my 2nd year of college, so I will have plenty of time now to hang out with your animals! I am available any time of day for however long you need me to keep your pet happy. I have a decent-sized yard with a fence, I will keep a close eye on them the whole time, I can crate them if necessary, and I have reliable transportation at any time of day.
About: I've cared for my sister's dog for over 5 years, and she means the world to me. Being around animals brings me so much joy, and I treat them like family. I'm a passionate animal lover who values their happiness, comfort, and well-being above all else. Whether it's walks, playtime, or quiet companionship, I strive to make every moment special for the pets in my care. I currently work a part-time job, but I’m fully committed to making time for dog sitting on my days off. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to accommodate your needs on any days I’m not working at my other job.

When caring for pets in a clients home, I respect their space and follow any instructions provided carefully. My goal is to make sure the pets feel secure by maintaining regular routines.
“Amelie did an amazing job visiting our Bernese mountain dog while we were away. Our dog is anxious with strangers but he was calm and happy when we got home. We can tell that he enjoyed his time with Amelie.”
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with plenty of hands on experience caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. At home, I have three dogs a Great Dane, a pit mix, and a Border Collie mix as well as a cat, so I’m very comfortable with everything from big, strong dogs to high-energy pups and smaller pets. Having a house full of animals has taught me how important patience, consistency, exercise, and lots of attention are. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, and I’ll always take the time to make sure your pet feels safe and comfortable with me. Whether your dog needs a good walk to burn off some energy, a bathroom break while you’re away, or just some extra attention and company, I’ll treat them like one of my own. I’m reliable, responsible, and looking forward to meeting some new four-legged friends! I am currently a student at West Chester University, I am a freshman and animal lover. I have Tuesdays and Thursdays off along with a half day on Friday, so I have plenty of time to take care of your lovely pets. I have an electric fence yard where I free run all 3. I have experience administering medications and feeding pets. I will follow instructions per request of each client.
“Theresa was great at adapting to circumstances beyond our control. There was so much ice and snow outside that playing outside was not an option. She spent time playing inside with our high energy dog.”
“Beth was great with my dog Finn. We met for a quick meet and greet beforehand and she followed all of my instructions. Thank you so much for helping me out with Finn!”
“Alex is very attentive to my older pup and gives her love in the way my dog likes best. Alex goes at the pace of your pet and takes time to make them comfortable/figure out what they enjoy. She also communicates in detail about how things are going and how each visit went. I’m new to the city and having Alex take such good care of my dog during my long work days is such a relief. I couldn’t have asked for a better fit!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pocopson
Gillian was lovely! Tuxedo took to her right away during our meet and greet and seems so happy to see her for their walks. Gillian was so easy to work with and sent me photos and updates throughout their time together. Will definitely be re-booking in the future!
I just started using Beth as my dog walker and she has been amazing! She is very reliable, always on time and she also responds to my messages in a timely manner. My dog Finn loves her, I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to walk their dog!
Carly was by five the best and most conscientious Dog Walker we have ever had for our two bulldogs. She not only showed up on time, but she spent extra time with them, loving on them and even perform some extra medical duties on paws and eyes, etc. she was so friendly and outgoing, and lovely with our two pooches..

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.
