“This was our 1st time to use Rover. We were very nervous but Krystal did a great job. She sent photos and that made us feel so much better! We will definitely use her again!”
“She is absolutely amazing!! Our dog is super nervous and scared of everything but I could tell he totally loved her. She went above and beyond and I could not recommend her more!”
“Elizabeth was incredible and took care of our kitty (Punzie) during the holiday season for us. We felt very at ease while we were away and received so many sweet pictures and updates on Punzie throughout our trip. Would highly recommend Elizabeth for any pet sitting needs!”
“I originally booked Dubai to care for my two pups and she was absolutely wonderful with them — but she didn’t stop there! She even helped with my cats, who are usually about as social as undercover agents. Somehow, she got adorable pics of them looking relaxed and happy (I’m still not sure how she pulled that off). She accepted the booking on super short notice, stayed communicative the entire time (even when I was slow to reply — oops!), and genuinely went the extra mile for all my fur kids. If you need someone reliable, kind, and pet-savvy — especially for a mixed pack of personalities — she’s your person. 💜”
About: I have a large backyard with plenty of space for dogs to run and play. My home is all tile so accidents are not a problem. I enjoy having animals around especially if they are playful and get along well with other dogs. I have a 15 year-old small poodle mix. I work full time as a teacher so during the school year, I am gone from 7:15- 3:30 p.m. Dogs that are crated are free to stay! At night, I am mainly a homebody because I'm finishing up my graduate degree and I enjoy taking walks with my dog before bed. I can take yours as well:) My dog is my priority and I will treat yours just as if they were mine. I do not have children and there is nothing I enjoy more than helping others when they are traveling and leaving their fur babies behind. I have had to do this in the past and I always wanted to know that my baby was being loved and cared for the way I would care for her.
About: I've always loved being around animals and have experience caring for pets for family, friends, and my own pets. I'm comfortable with feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, keeping them on their normal routine, and giving them lots of attention and affection. I understand that every pet has a different personality and needs, so I take the time to make them feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I'm dependable, patient, and will treat every pet as if they were my own while keeping owners updated with photos and messages. I work part-time therefore my schedule changes each week, but I never work all day so I have plenty of time to see your loved one! I volunteer at shelters and I also have a shelter dog myself, so struggles with the leash is no problem for me! I’d love to take your dog on a walk or come visit them at the house!
“Katlyn was absolutely amazing! She went above and beyond to take care of our fur baby. I can’t thank her enough for taking the going the extra mile to make sure he was as comfortable as he could be in our absence. Most definitely will be rebooking in the future!”
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid. I know lots about dogs and can treat your pup like family. It is my mission to keep your pups happy and safe! I am home from college for the summer with no part time job, so I am available anytime of the day, any day of the week. I will always have your dog’s best interest. I am very careful with my surroundings as I have a dog myself, meaning that when I am either at your home or with your dog, they will be safe always!
About: Since I was 12 I’ve been helping my mom in her dog grooming business including walking, feeding, watering, and bathing. I’ve also had a handful of babies that needed special care so I have no problem handling any sort of medication if needed. I am working part time so I have plenty of time during the week for any service needed. I am available up until 4:30 Monday- Tuesdays and all day on Sundays. My house is unavailable for dog sitting at the moment however again I don’t mind to travel! I will let your babies out of course, check their water bowls, and have plenty of play time.
About: I treat every dog like family! I have experience with all ages—from playful puppies to sweet senior dogs who need a little extra care. I’m patient, attentive, and trained in basic commands and medication support. Whether it’s belly rubs, walks, or special diets, I’ve got it covered. 🐶💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals! I make time for play, walks, feeding, and cuddles just like I would for my own pets. Whether it’s early mornings or evening check-ins, I’m flexible and reliable to ensure your pet stays happy, healthy, and loved every day. 🐾💛 In my home, I provide a safe, clean, and cozy environment where pets can relax and feel at home. They get plenty of attention, playtime, and a structured routine that includes walks, meals, and quiet time. I follow any specific instructions you provide to keep things consistent.
“Meghan did a great job taking care of my fur babies. She treated them as her own and did exactly what we asked of her. Highly recommend and will be using her afib when we go on our next adventure.”
About: Hi, I’m Zayne! Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a family that always had pets, and currently we have three dogs and two cats, so I understand that every pet has their own unique personality and routine. I know how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members while you’re away. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable until you return. Whether it’s feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, belly rubs, medication, or even a bath if needed, I’ll care for them as if they were my own. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions to keep your pet’s routine consistent. Just leave me detailed notes, and I’ll make sure every need is taken care of. I also provide regular photo and text updates so you can enjoy your time away knowing your pets are happy and in good hands. I have references available from families whose pets I’ve cared for multiple times, and I’d love the opportunity to meet you and your pets! I am currently self employed, therefore, my schedule for watching your pets is very open and flexible! Would love to chat more about it with you! :) I care for each and every dog like they are my own. Playing with them, making sure there is water always available and food depending on your feeding schedule. I will never leave them for longer than you all are comfortable with :)
About: I'VE HAD MY OWN DOGS AND CATS FOR OVER 30 YRS. I'VE BEEN DOG SITTING FOR OTHERS FOR ABOUT 11 YRS. I RECENTLY LOST MY 12 YR OLD MALTIPOM SO I CURRENTLY HAVE NO PETS OF MY OWN, GIVING ME PLENTY OF TIME TO CARE FOR OTHERS. I am retired and live in Broken Arrow with my adult daughter to help with my 9 yr old granddaughter. I no longer have any pets of my own so pet sitting is a nice way to spend time with dogs and cats. I like to have written instructions on feeding, meds, and bedtime routine. I like to do all I can to maintain their daily schedule. I will send lots of photos/videos!
“Riley was amazing! She was very attentive. She spent genuine time with my dogs during her drop-ins. Even more so then I was expecting! I can honestly say I typically stress about my babies but I didn’t worry about them with Riley! I’d definitely use her again.”
About: I have had all kinds of animals throughout my lifetime from dogs, cats, bunnies, chicken, ducks, pigs, etc! I have such a soft heart for animals! I have raised both puppies and kittens from 6 weeks old. I have fostered and adopted. I would love the opportunity to take care of your beloved babies! I typically work Tuesday-Thursday but it is a week to week basis with days and times varying. Can house sit, board, drop in visits, or walk! I have a fenced yard. Currently have two inside cats that are allowed outside with supervision, as well as a 2 year old Labradoodle! On occasion, take care of a relative’s two dogs that stay for the weekend and are friendly with all the animals.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Porter stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 96% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
