“Karlie did a wonderful job checking in on my kitties making sure they had fresh litter, food and water. She followed directions and communicated with me so that the visit went smooth. She also helped me out by stopping by on a whim. I will continue to use her services.”
“This kitty is my child & Steven took care of my kitty SO amazingly. I usually stress when away for extended periods but during this time was not worried at all. Definitely will be booking him again 💛”
About: Hi! I’ve taken care of all types of dogs since I was 10! Growing up, we always had dogs around, from energetic Jack Russell puppies, to a senior howling Beagle. After college, I adopted my first dog, an 8yr old Hound dog, and took care of him until he passed. After some time, I adopted my current dog, a Pitbull/Labrador mix named Dobby! I have a lot of experience with running/walking high energy dogs, as well as caretaking for senior dogs (including giving medicine and wound care). Dogs have been my absolute favorite part of every single day. Whether we are going for long walks, playing fetch, or taking an afternoon nap on the couch, I am happiest when a dog is by my side and look forward to meeting your furry friend soon! I’m currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to check-in / play with your pup! I know my part-time job schedule 3 weeks out and will list my availability based on that. I’m always respectful of the homeowners space! I know everyone cares for their pets differently, whether their dog is being crated, free roaming or hangs out in the backyard. Just let me know your preference and I’ll be happy to stick to your routine.
About: had many pets small and large for over 20 years, we have a large back yard, safe neighborhood. we do have a pool. covered in the winter. I am currently working remotely and am accessible throughout the day. I am able to take breaks as needed, and I have a comfortable bed in my office. Pets are not typically crated unless specifically requested by the owner. I have a fenced yard, an older schnauzer who doesn't mind visitors or guests, and is great with all animals. I also have cats who will stay to themselves in their safe places.
“Janie has done a great job taking care of Panda. The daily pictures make me feel so much more comfortable leaving Panda home all day. Panda and I look forward to her continued care.”

I have a clean, pet-friendly home and a fenced yard. I only accept vaccinated dogs and keep a calm, supervised environment with lots of love and attention.
About: I have had pets my entire life they have always been a big part of my family growing up. I have my own pup named Raven who is an 6 year old Cane Corso I brought back from Sicily when I was stationed there. I have constantly helped friends with taking care of their pets by housing or just checking up and enjoying some play time when they are alone. I look forward to meeting as many pups as possible! I am active duty so my schedule varies week to week but for the most part I’m free every weekend to help! Most of my afternoons are free so the only times I’m unavailable would be weekday mornings. I have a big back yard that is fenced in so it lets my pup get her energy out. I also take her for multiple walks around the neighborhood because we enjoy being outside and active!
“Brenna took great care of my dog. She came over for a free meet and greet and then provided 4 drop-in visits in a 24 hour period. Brenna was very reliable and communicative with me. She sent pictures and videos every visit and was very responsive to my questions and requests. I would recommend her to other pet owners!”
“Annika is an angel, and I can't express that enough! Having a new puppy while my husband is away can be a little stressful when I'm working, but Annika saves the day. She cared for my puppy, Stark, with so much love - even my other animals got love and cuddles too even though she didn't need to! She genuinely cares about your babies. She sends lots of pictures and a thorough report card at the end of each stay. I trust her so much! She also left me a sweet note and some treats for my furbabies. She's now my go-to.”

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.
