“Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!”
“Danielle is nothing short of spectacular. My pet is normally very nervous and reserved, but he warmed right up to her, and the pictures confirmed he enjoyed her visits immensely. She went above and beyond, ensuring he was well taken care of and loved, and she mixed it up on the playtime so he didn't get bored with the same thing every day. Her daily summaries are fantastic -- detailed and informative, which put my mind at ease. I hope she never moves or stops being a sitter, because Danielle is THE gal for us! Five stars, four paws up!”
“Allison is fantastic! Thoughtful, attentive, and does what's best for you and your pets. She put up with a lot of unforseen issues from my end and helped with things I forgot to do before leaving. Wonderful sitter. Highly recommend!”
“Sonia is a life saver! She was flexible and was able to let our pups out when our flight was delayed and canceled! She really came through in our time of need. Absolutely amazing care giver!”
“This is the first time I’ve ever used a pet sitter outside of my family. Linda put my mind at ease asking important questions and having great communication with me while I was gone. I have an older male dog who I felt could be a challenge but, she handled him with no problem. I wouldn’t hesitate to ask for Linda’s help again!”
About: Hello! I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior cats. As a cat mom myself, I know that pets are family, and how important it is for your pet to be with someone they can trust while you’re away. I have extensive experience providing attention and active engagement with all types of pets. I would love to care for your pets and provide them with a welcoming, trusting face while you're away. I work full-time, but have options to work from home if needed, and can use lunch breaks as a potty break for your furry friend. I love spending time with pets, providing them with enrichment, and a loving, interactive environment. I care for pets by providing them with proper attention and watching their behaviors to determine cues. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, providing them with a welcoming environment with someone they, and you, can trust.
About: I have experience in training and animals handling. I have been called an animal whisperer. I am open to all pets even aggressive ones. I have experience in exotic pets as well. I am in college and I take care of animals in between my classes. This will not take away from my time spent with your animals and I will be fully focused on your pet while I am there. I have a large amount of experience with animal behavior. I can confidently and comfortably care for all types of animals regardless of temperament or aggression level. Your pet will always be safe with me.
“This was my first time leaving my kitty for more than one day. Crystal did such a fantastic caring and loving my pet! I will definitely be using Crystal for my future trips!!!”
About: I grew up having lots of pets, and know the joy they bring to your home. Over the years my friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets and their homes while they are away. I have taken care of goldendoodles, pitbulls, bulldogs, beagles, and pugs. I would love to help you care for your pets or home in any way you need! I currently have a flexible schedule and am free nearly every afternoon and evening. My weekends are fairly free as well. I am happy to do extended stays as well. I follow all directions and wishes of my clients. I can honor designated feeding times and medications if necessary, including insulin injections. I will respect other belongings in the home and leave things as I found them.
“Raina is very trustworthy and loving towards my boys. Takes really good pictures, leaves good notes, and spends good quality time with my kiddos. As well as takes care of my home. They are happy boys when mommy gets home. I have her weekly for my sons diabetic shot and when I go on vacation. I trust her 100%!”
About: I have been pet sitting for friends and family since I was in jr high school. I currently have 1 dog 3 fish, and 2 humans I keep alive! I'm patient, I have lots of energy but also like to chill if that's what your pup would prefer! I've recently made some major lifestyle changes to make myself more flexible and accessible for my family! This gives me the chance to be available about anytime of day. I would love to meet you and your pets! At this point my calendar is fairly open, I am flexible and willing to work with moving and changing schedules. Most of my day involves school pick up and off and being a taxi to evening dance classes, which is easily done with or around the schedule of an extra furry friend or 2. We have 1 Brittany. She she has full use of all upstairs furniture, a fully enclosed backyard and probably too many snacks! They are happy to welcome new friends to sit on their sofas!
“Morgan took amazing care of our Gracie while we were out of town! Our kitty is very shy and rarely comes out when there are people other than us at our house - but not only did she come out during Morgan’s visits, she actually allowed her to give her pets and take her picture! We will definitely hire Morgan again for our next trip!”
About: Hi, I'm Greg. I am a lifelong dog lover with extensive experience handling dogs of all shapes and sizes. From high-energy Huskies and Golden Retrievers to spirited Boston Terriers and patient giant breeds, I understand that every dog has unique physical and emotional needs.In 2024, I said goodbye to my beloved Newfoundland, Baloo. He left a massive hole in my heart, and caring for your four-legged family members is my favorite way to keep his loving spirit alive. I treat every guest with the same deep devotion, patience, and exceptional care that I gave m I am retired and have flexibility to manage 24/7 house sitting, extended day care, long adventures or a drop in for walks. I'm perfect for high-energy pups needing a lunch-break burnout walk or puppies requiring a mid-day potty relief. I follow your exact feeding, medication, and crating schedules to minimize your dog's anxiety. Your home security is important to me. I keep doors locked, bring in mail, turn on lights, and maintain a lived-in look for your safety. My Cleanliness Guarantee is that I will leave your home exactly as I found it (maybe cleaner), keeping paws wiped and messes completely cleaned. You will receive Real-Time Updates if requested. You will receive photo, video, and text updates during every single visit or overnight stay. I bring my own food and necessities, respecting your privacy and personal boundaries completely.
“Mary is absolutely wonderful! She took very good care of our dog and sent pictures every time she cared for him while we were gone so we knew he was happy and healthy!”
“I highly recommend using Madeline for drop in visits! She did a wonderful job caring for our two Boxers. She was very communicative and right on time with her drop-ins. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
“Brady was very professional and responsive to messages. From the moment she came in the door the first time, she started connecting with our pup and putting him at ease. On her first visit without us he was a bit unsure of a new person in the home, but she immediately knew how to win him over with treats and affection and the pictures indicate he would be very excited to see her again!”
“Eli was right on time. Very professional and attentive to my cat Ninja. I'm looking forward to them becoming more familiar with each other. Eli was very polite, pleasant and easy to talk to. I would definitely recommend Eli for your pet's needs.”

Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!
Jason is great! He dropped in to meet the new pup and spend time with our family. He’s punctual, he asks questions about how the new pup is getting along and how the pack is integrating, and he enjoys spending time with our fur babies. Thank you, Jason! We appreciate you being a part of our family and spending time with us.
Megan is amazing ! So sad to say this is our last visit due to relocation. Megan was the first pet sitter we met off rover I was hesitant even getting the app but after meeting her she’s the only person we’ve trusted watching our pets when we go out of town ! She’s truly the best. She cares about the pets like there her own ! She’s easy to work with very accommodating and overall just a very down to earth person. We’re sad to see her go but I know she’s going to be great whoever gets to have her next !! HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this girl she deserves it ! Thanks for everything !!

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 .

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.
