“Ashley did an awesome job taking care of my dog and two cats. She monitored how much my fussy-eater dog ate and helped exercise her to stimulate an appetite. I came back, and my pets were all soft furballs from her brushing them! I’m happy with how she cared for my furbabies and kept my plants alive! Thank you Ashley!”
“Joni is so great with Paco! She goes the extra mile bringing him toys and spending time playing with him. We know he is being well taken care of and can relax and enjoy our time away.”
“We’ve used Aubrey about 4 times now and have received the best care for our bulldoggo! Will continue request Aubrey whenever we leave town! She’s so good with our fur baby and our fur baby loves her too!”
“I have two foster cats that last minute needed medical care while I was gone for a trip. I also have one cat who is acting up lately. BreeAna was awesome and was able to cover it last minute so I could relax for a few days and not worry about them. I would definitely recommend her!”

“Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!”
About: I’ve always been the person friends and family trust with their pets. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their routine, energy level, and personality to help them feel comfortable while I’m caring for them. I’m happy to meet your dog’s pace and for those with the energy I love a good run and playing games with them! I have a 13 year old dog of my own named Toffee. She’s been my best friend since she was 9 weeks old. We’ve been through a number of things together which have taught me a lot about caring for a dog from a very young age into senior age. It can be nerve wrecking leaving her when I have to go out of town and I’m always looking for the best possible care for her. I know how much this matters for her, and for myself. I would love the opportunity to bring you and your dog the same peace of mind that I myself want and need. I am currently working part time with a very flexible schedule. This means that I can be available whenever you and your dog(s) need me! I spend a LOT of time cuddling with my own dog and taking her on adventures. She loves traveling and exploring new parks as well as swimming. She has arthritis which is treated with an injection every few months as needed. We go on frequent walks so she can get her sniffing in which is incredibly important for a dog’s brain. Even just 15 minutes sniffing around outside does wonders for their cognitive health. She gets a treat after her potty breaks, and is a big fan of pumpkin! I add a bit to her food for vitamins and minerals. I bathe her and keep her nails trimmed as well as brushing her fur to keep it soft and comfy for her.

“She was very good with my fur baby today was super hot so my callie didn't get it long, walked, but she took her out for a little walk, but the fact that she was concerned that she was getting overheated really touches me because my husband worries about that all the time, we will definitely be using her again”
“Alyssa was able to watch my kitties at the last minute. I felt very comfortable having her drop-in and care for my cats, including giving one of my cats his medicine. She communicated with me every day about how they were doing and I would definitely recommend her!”
About: I have grown up on a farm and have been taking care of animals all my life. I have a passion for helping and love all dogs and cats. I have a medical background and don’t shy away from administering medicine, shots and pills. I have delivered many litters and am comfortable around older or sick dogs. I stay home right now and all of our kids are out of the house. So now I only have our furry babies at home. I provide safe and clean environment for my pets.

About: I’ve been around dogs most of my life and i’ve been dog sitting constantly over the last few months for a couple different family’s! I’m currently working part time so i have plenty of take to take care of your fur baby’s! i can be available basically any day of the week! I always had cats and a dog growing up which i would take on walks daily. I have the same few family’s ask me to dog sit constantly and I take great care of them. Some eat special food at certain times and some take medicine every day which i always take care of!
About: I’ve helped with various sized dogs for friends and family and I’ve worked with big dogs so nothing scares me! I am 5 foot tall though so smaller dogs would be preferred! 😂😂 I’m currently working for a preschool M-F 8:30 AM-2:30 PM. I thought this would be a fun way to earn extra income since I love pets! 🐾❤️ My cat Pumpkin is an indoor cat so I don’t let him wander outside. He’s more of a grazer when it comes to eating so I just keep an eye on his food & water and refill when he needs it. As long as I have clear instructions on how to feed/check up on pets in the past, I’ve been good about that. 👍🏻

“Talia took very good care of all my cats indoor and outdoor! I came home too very happy and healthy fur babies. Talia stayed in touch every day. Took many pictures every day spent extra time with the cats just because she loved being with them and wanted to make sure they were all doing well. I will definitely use Talia whenever I’m out of town. She is a genuine, considerate and very caring person. She’ll definitely take care of your fur babies, as if they were her own… thank you Talia. I appreciate you so so much.!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Pretty Bayou
I can’t recommend Shyla enough for any and all pet sitting needs!! She was so communicative, sent lots of pictures after each visit and truly cared for our babies as if they were her own. She is so genuine & sweet! Will def be booking with her from here on out!
Breana went above and beyond for our fur babies. She was so kind and patient with them. She was great at making sure they get enough attention and play. There was always great communication and she excelled my expectations. She truly cared for our pets as if they were her own. I will definitely be booking with her again.
Jessie has been absolutely amazing. My dogs are a bit of a handful and I was a little worried about introducing a new person into their routine but it hasn't been an issue at all. It has been such a relief having someone dependable and caring that can drop in on them and I don't have to be concerned about it! Thank you Jessie!
Rebecca is absolutely amazing!!! This is the third time I’ve booked with her and I will continue to do so! The love she has for my fur babies absolutely shows and she is so good with them. Especially with my specifically shy kitty, she has been so patient with her that she now comes out to see her, she only does that with me! She also goes above and beyond in doing things I didn’t request, such as taking out trash, sweeping/vaccuuming, washing the kitty bowls. Highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Katherine took the absolute best care of our Spud!!! She was so attentive to him and followed every note I left behind as worried fur mom leaving her baby for the first time. They seemed to have formed a great bond which makes me extremely happy as well. Even with the challenges he presents walking (because I know we still have work to do with him there) she was able to cope and face them wonderfully. She even paid attention to my cat when he was not necessarily her responsibility to look after and I can not thank her enough for her service!
I’ve been using Kiersten for a couple of years now, and I can confidently say she’s been amazing every single time. She is reliable, consistent, and truly cares about the animals. During her visits, she makes sure each pet gets the attention, care, and affection they need. It’s clear that my animals genuinely love her, and that peace of mind means everything.
Hannah is awesome! This was our second time booking her for cat drop-ins, and she did a wonderful job. She was dependable, communicated clearly, and took great care of our cats throughout our trip. We felt completely at ease and will absolutely be using her again!
Our sitter was friendly and quick to respond, which I appreciated. However, some important tasks were missed, such as refilling the cats’ water fountain (which was found completely empty when I got home) and cleaning around the litter box. Visits were very short and at inconsistent times without communication, which made me anxious while traveling.

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.
