“Sara was absolutely awesome with our chocolate lab, JAX. We needed her for an emergency as our other Dog Sitter fell through. We contacted her two days before and had a FaceTime video with her. I chose her out of several Dog Sitter’s due to her smile and her sweet eyes. I could tell right away that I could trust her with our dog. And Sara definitely delivered. She was so kind and sweet to JAX and gave me updates and several pictures at every visit. She did exactly what we wanted for our dog and fed him according to our directions and spend time with him. I highly recommend her and I will definitely use her in the future. Hire Sara. You will not be disappointed.”
“Dominic is very reliable and took care of our pet as if it was her very own. We really appreciate you for taking care of Bella while we were away and look forward to booking with you again very soon.”
“Carolina was amazing! She took great care of our dogs while we were away and gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares, and our dogs were in great hands. We would absolutely recommend her to anyone and would love to book with her again in the future.”
About: I bring calm, consistent and genuine attentiveness to every pet's routine. I don't just show up, I notice them and their habits and love them as if they were my own. I'm your trusted neighbor who will provide the best care for your pet! I'm currently available for any scheduling needs; morning, during the day, evenings. Whether you just need me to stop by to check on your pet, walk your dog, keep your pet overnight, I'm here for you! I have a fenced in backyard and plenty of open space inside of my home. I love to be active myself, so your pet will stay busy and happy!
About: Update: I will not be available Oct 27 - Nov 2. This has happened to me and it is so very unfortunate I have to say this...If you have a senior dog, please let me know of any changes to their health!!!!! If you believe your pup is nearing end of life, PLEASE do not ask me to keep your dog. It is very heartbreaking and your pet wants YOU and needs YOU during his or her last days because YOU are their entire world. I love dogs!! I've fostered many dogs and volunteered at many shelters. I've had seniors and even fostered one with spina bifida. My first two loves were English Bulldogs. I have lots of experience with them and know that smooshy face breeds are much more delicate than other breeds. I absolutly love them! I'm not good with extremely energtic dogs, but can handle anything else. I am semi-retired. I currently work part time on Friday and Sundays with an occasional third day, so I am home a lot. I have plenty of time to devote to your pooch. In my home, I care for your pet just as I care for mine. Of course, with your direction implemented also. I do have a pool, so I will need to know how your dog is around pools, or if they have zero experience with pools, I will need to know that as well.
“Natalie did a great job taking care of Tater again! She sent awesome updates and was so sweet with her messages keeping us in the loop on how he was doing! Thank you!”
“Danielle was fantastic! Our cats were comfortable with her right away, and they were happy and well cared for when we got home. We’re so thankful she was available last minute to help our family. We would happily have her care for our cats again!”
About: Hi! I love pets! I’ve been a fur mom for the past 10 years to three shih tzu. I loved animals all my life and aside from my own dogs, have also taken care of family dogs. I own my own business and that requires me to work 4 evenings a week but I have mornings and days free to provide services like daily walks and check ins. I’ll make sure your pet is safe during walks and check ins making sure they are cared for, feed, walked and have one on one time.
“We’ve used Alexis countless times to care for our 3 dogs and cat, and every single time she exceeds our expectations. She watched them again today, and just like always, everything went perfectly. Alexis is incredibly reliable—even when we’ve needed her last-minute, she’s always come through for us. Our pets absolutely love her, and it’s clear she loves them right back. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better sitter. She gives us total peace of mind, and we’re so grateful to have found her!”
“Andrea did a great job with my dogs who can be very anxious around new people. She provided updates and photos with each visit which were fun and reassuring to receive. I felt like my pups were in good hands for the weekend. Definitely will be booking again with Andrea in the future!”
About: I have had dogs all of my life. I love animals and want to make sure they all feel safe and loved at all times. I am passionate about taking the best care of all animals. I would rather tell someone that their animal was not happy to see me and not fulfill a wish than to make an animal do something they do not want to do. I take my time and always put the animal first, no matter what. I currently have a full-time job working with kids on the Autism spectrum, so pet care would be able to fit into my schedule evenings and weekends. I love animals, so I don’t mind! I live in an apartment that allows dogs, but most of the time I will be with your animal in your home. I treat all animals like they are family members, so I will always treat your animal with the utmost love and respect.
“We left our cat, Moses, in Aaron’s care for 31 days. When we returned, Moses was well fed and well hydrated. Now that we are back home, I think Moses misses Aaron more than missed us! 😊 Aaron not only cared for our cat, he provided kindness and love. I could tell from the photos Aaron sent after every visit that Moses was comfortable being around him. Thank you Aaron, we will 100% contact when we leave for our next extended vacation.”
About: I've been providing large animal care for over eight years. I have cared for many dogs, cats, horses, and chickens. I currently have a horse of my own, as well as a three year old bearded dragon. I also had my own chickens for over ten years. Pet care brings me great joy, and I love getting to know the fur babies that I am lucky enough to care for. I am a college student, but am now on summer break. I currently have extensive availability, and am flexible with dates and times. I will still be available once classes begin, but with changes depending on my schedule. I am happy to provide care and attention to pets who are highly social, but also work well with those who prefer a bit of distance or may be more uncomfortable around strangers. I take slow steps to gain the trust of new animals, and make sure they can clearly understand my intentions in order to prevent startling them. I tend to ask owners plently of questions to be sure the animal's specific needs are met to the best of my ability. I am happy to send plently of pictures and updates throughout my time caring for your critters!
About: I am a lifelong pet owner and have love for all animals. Caring for and spending time with animals is my passion. Your fur-babies will be in great hands. I am home full-time so I have all the time needed to care for pup. I will be able to keep them on their regular schedule with feedings and potty breaks if needed. I have a quiet, clean, smoke free home with a fenced in backyard and a screened back porch that your pup can enjoy. I also have a two year old Golden Doodle that is very friendly and can keep your pup company during their stay.
About: I grew up with dogs as pets my whole life and have been doing professional pet care for the past three years. I’m great with animals and love getting to spend time with them. I currently work part time so I have plenty of time to care for dogs. I’m available for all services and will be available all times and days. I live in an apartment community with dog parks, private roads, and many trails by the river for long nature walks! Live to play with them in your backyard as well!

She took wonderful care of my Mochi during four days of drop-in visits! She was punctual and sent pictures and updates that gave me peace of mind. She went above and beyond to keep her bathroom areas clean. When she got into the drawers, she even took extra steps to prevent her from getting into them again. Would happily book her again!
Sam was superb! Very communicative, sent a lot of photos and let me know what was going on. When I had an issue with my robot vacuum, Sam saved the day. Your fur babies and even robot cleaning companions are in great hands with her. 10/10 will rebook when services are needed. Thanks again Sam!
Ashley was overwhelmingly accommodating with my last-minute booking! She was super friendly and informative on the Rover services, as it was my first time using the service. She provided several photos and updates throughout the visit and it gave me so much piece of mind. 100% recommend and will book with her again!
Abby did a fantastic job stopping by to care for our cats! My cats opened up to her super fast and loved her visits. I know they were happy to get some playtime in! Overall we appreciate Abby’s communication with us and attention into making sure our cats were happy & comfortable while we were away.
Sarah was stellar while I was away on vacation! She provided detailed and thorough reviews on how the cats were doing while I was away and I greatly appreciated everything she was able to do while I was away. I loved the pictures too! Even the tortie in the house seemed to come around to her. I would definitely book with Sarah again for the drop ins I’ll need. Thank you again, Sarah!
Briyah is an excellent choice if you need someone to drop in and take care of your pet. She is organized, detailed, dependable, experienced, and friendly. Briyah responds very quickly and is flexible, especially when I ask her on short notice. I have no worries for my pet when I am away because Briyah is taking great care of her. I highly recommend Briyah, and I would give her 10 stars if I could.

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.
