“Sarah is a dependable, prompt, and kind. Our puppy was well taken care of and we just knew Sarah loved him and our cats. She was always on time to walk our puppy and always had fantastic communication. She is an animal lover!!!! I highly recommend Sarah for your pet needs. I can’t say enough great things about her. 🥰🐾”
“Shannon was excellent with my 2 chihuahuas and my 1 cat while we were out of town. She took care of all their special needs and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care. I would definitely book her again when I have to go out of town.”
About: I’ve had pets since I could remember and they’ve always been a special part of my life. Being able to care for your pets, just as attentively as I do my own, would bring me so much joy. I’ve cared for many family and friend’s pets so much so, that I would love to start professionally pet sitting. I currently work an 8-5 job 4 days out of the week but have plenty of time before and after work to feed, take to the potty, and love on your pets. My weekends are very open and I can spend more time playing with your pet as well. I have experience in cleaning up accidents, walking, feeding, administering oral medications just like I do for my own animals. I am capable of leaving your home secure and intact while you are away. I’m sure I can responsibly handle anything that comes my way.
“Paige did a great job taking care of my two cats while I was out of town! She gave frequent updates on how they were doing and was very accommodating when one of them wasn’t interested in eating his dry food. She brought in a few packages that arrived and cleaned the cats’ dishes even though it wasn’t expected! I’d recommend her to anyone and would definitely book with her again!”
“Megan did a great job taking care of our new puppy, she was always on time and sent updates and photos on a daily basis. I would highly recommend her and look forward to using her again in the future!”
“Justine was wonderful with my fur babies and very thorough! She was able to get my shyest cat to play and that says a lot about her. I appreciate the time and effort she spent with my boys and I will continue to trust her with them in the future!”
“Anna did a great job taking care of my golden retriever and golden doodle while I went on a quick last minute trip! They absolutely loved their time with her! Thank you for taking such good care of my boys!”
“Lee took great care of my animals, followed all directions, and stayed in close communication with me regarding the animals and any concerns. I have used before and will use again! My animals love him!”
About: I have taken care of cats, dogs, rabbits, Guinea pigs, and horses my whole life. Neighbors, family, friends, and customers trust me with their pets and home. I am also a housekeeper, of which hanging out with the animals is my very favorite part! I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and for overnights seven days a week. I truly care about an animal’s well- being and a client’s peace of mind. I’m a mother of older children and several animals, so you know it’s my calling to nurture and care for others. I enjoy spending time outdoors tent camping and hiking, so dog walking is beneficial training. I never want to leave, and I am seldom in a rush to get out the door. I usually stay over the assigned amount of time, because your pets look so sad when I’m leaving them! I’m just here to fit into your home and routine, and am happy to take good care of whatever is needed during your absence.
“Kathryn (Grace) was excellent with drop in visits for my cat while I was on vacation. She's reliable, communicated efficiently, easy to work with, and my cat was healthy and happy when I got home. I had peace of mind the whole time away.”
“Anna as always took wonderful care of our little sassy cat. Always great with communication, and making sure that everything is taken care of for your pets comfort. We plan to continue to use Anna in the future for our fur kiddos.”
About: I really love dogs and hope to help stay with your pets while you are away. All creatures great and small inspire me to be better. I will be unavailable to watch animals from my home while traveling. Please let me know if I can help with drop-in visits, walks or in home stay. Please let me know if you would like to schedule a visit to see if we would be a good fit before you are away. I look forward to the opportunity to meet your furbabies.
“Jaylin and Charles took excellent care of my kitty, Todd, and kept consistent communication throughout the week! They asked about anything they were unsure of to make sure they were taking the best care possible, and they were so kind and easy to book! 100% recommend!”
“Loved having Cassie spend time with our dogs while we were away. I loved the pictures and report card of their time together. Cassie communicated with us so well! I had no worries about my fur babies because of her care.”
About: I've taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 10. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, and I truly love every moment of it. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, including seniors and energetic puppies. I always focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and comfortable, whether it's for daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays. You can count on me to treat your pet like my own! As a college student, my schedule is flexible between classes. I can do late mornings, midday check-ins, and early evenings, with open weekends for extended care or overnights. Your pet's routine comes first. I care for pets in their own homes so they can stay in a familiar and comfortable environment. I always follow your instructions carefully and keep your pet's routine consistent. Whether it's walks, playtime, or feeding, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you're away.

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.
