“Krystal did an awesome job taking care of our aging kitty! This was the first time I’ve used a pet sitter and I was a little apprehensive but Krystal exceeded expectations. She was very friendly and communicated with me throughout the week to let me know my cat was doing well. I was at ease knowing she was taking good care of her. I will definitely be using Krystal’s services again.”
“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.”
“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. 💜”
“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!”
“Nik was great with our 2 dogs and 2 cats! He was attentive and went above and beyond what was needed. He sent us updates and pictures every visit which we appreciated!”
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.
“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!”
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!
About: We’re a loving, dependable couple who truly believe pets are family. We have noticed that every time we try to go on a trip, we struggle with finding someone to watch our fur babies and we want to fill a gap for anyone else experiencing the same thing. We have years of experience caring for dogs and understand how important it is to have someone you trust looking after your pets. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, playtime, or simply keeping your pet company, we’ll treat your furry family members with the same love, patience, and attention we give our own. 🐾❤️ Pet care fits naturally into our daily routine. My husband and I both work from home with flexible schedules, so we have someone available throughout the day. This allows us to provide plenty of attention, walks, playtime, potty breaks, and companionship rather than leaving pets alone for long periods. We can work with each pet’s individual routine and needs. We treat every pet like part of our family and prioritize their safety, comfort, and individual needs. We take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, medications, feeding schedule, and any special instructions. In your home, we respect your space and follow your instructions carefully. Our goal is to provide dependable, loving care so you can feel confident your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for while you’re away.
“Reed was amazing with our dog. Queso is known to be reactive and a bit of a grump, but Reed took the time to let him get comfortable and ended up having a great time together. Highly recommend!”

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.

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 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.
