“This was our first experience using Rover.com, and we couldn't have been happier! Our sitter, Elaine, is terrific! Not only did she capture amazing pictures of our two Bengal cats, she even managed to win over Shiloh, who normally runs and hides under the bed whenever a stranger comes into our home. My husband and I could hardly believe our eyes when we watched the video of Shiloh letting Elaine pet her. It was nice, too, to come home to a clean and tidy area where the food dishes are as our cats always like dropping their food on the floor before eating. I highly recommend Elaine.”

About: I have taken care of pets like dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals since I was very young. I have experience with small to large dogs as well as young to senior dogs and cats. I have also volunteered at shelters for the past few years and helped them too. I am currently taking care of animals full time. I am available at all hours and all days as long as I have no other bookings. I have a fenced backyard and a pool that my dogs love. I also have 3 dogs of my own. I have a German Shepherd puppy and 2 senior Chihuahuas. I strive to make sure all animals I take care of are happy and safe.

“Jessica did an amazing job watching our cats while we were out of the country. She gave them lots of love and kept an open line of communication so we always knew they were doing well. I also appreciated all of the pictures and detailed updates! I’d highly recommend her as a pet sitter to anyone.”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years or so by myself. Growing up my parents watched dogs for friends and family every so often. We also had a border collie mix of our own for 15 years and I was responsible for taking care of him. I currently work M-Th; 9am-5pm but fairly free before or after work for walks and playtime. I tend to get up early on work days but a night owl on the weekends. I enjoy getting out on the weekends like going on walks with hikes. I currently do not have fenced in hard but I do have a large grass area right outside my house that is dog friendly and is great for playtime and even doggie pool time.

“Hailey gave the pups meds, refilled their food and water bowls, filled puzzles, ensured they had time outside, and helped one of my pups with getting a diaper on. She’s a sweet girl and the pups love her. Grateful for her and her eagerness to help with the pups.”

About: I have been an avid dog lover my whole life I wouldn't know what to do without one. I am now retired and I thought what better way to spend my time than to hang out with my favorite 4 legged people. I am actively involved with several pet rescue organizations and would feed my dogs before I would eat I am retired so I'm available pretty much anytime you need me. If you need someone to take your fur baby for a walk or to drop in and say hi and play with them for a while I'm your guy I have 2 dogs 1 pug and 1 chi-weenie they have a fenced in area that is also covered to keep them out of the sun and rain

About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my reliability, attention to detail, and genuine care for each pet as an individual. I take the time to learn and follow a pet’s routine exactly so they feel safe and comfortable, whether they’re a puppy, adult, or senior. I’m patient and confident working with puppies, including basic training reinforcement, potty routines, and leash manners. I’m also attentive to senior pets, providing gentle care, slower-paced activity, medication support if needed, and close monitoring for any changes in behavior or health. I communicate clearly with owners and treat every pet as if they were my own. Pet care fits into my routine through consistent daily habits and a small weekly reset. I take care of feeding and fresh water every day, along with making time for exercise, bathroom breaks, and attention so my pet stays healthy and engaged. I also do quick health checks to make sure everything seems normal. Once a week, I focus on cleaning, grooming, and restocking supplies. Overall, it’s built into my day in a way that feels manageable and routine rather than overwhelming. I care for pets by following a consistent, attentive routine that prioritizes their safety, comfort, and well-being. In my home or a client’s home, I make sure pets are fed on schedule, always have fresh water, and get the appropriate exercise and bathroom breaks they need. I provide companionship and enrichment through play, attention, and positive interaction, while also monitoring their behavior and health for any changes. I follow any specific instructions given by the owner, including medication, feeding preferences, and routines, to ensure pets feel comfortable and secure in their environment

About: I have worked for boarding facilities before, one that had no kennels and one that did. I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, giving oral medications, and watching them during the day to day. I love animals and always think of them as a part of your family. I am available everyday except for Tuesday's and Thursday's. As long as I have two days notice I have no issue doing check-ins, walks, or watching your furry friends with whatever schedule works best! Due to my previous experience with boarding facilities, I am well trained to follow instructions left by owners. Whatever schedule my clients have I will adapt to and perform, so that their pet won’t get confused or distressed by the change in schedule. I make sure to give special love and attention to each and every pet I care for.

About: Hi! I’m a stay-at-home mom of two little ones and a big animal lover. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I have about 10 years of experience helping friends, family, and neighbors with their pets. I’ve provided in-home pet sitting, drop-in visits, and dog walking, and I’m comfortable with pets of different sizes, ages, and personalities. I understand that pets are family members, and I always try to make them feel safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. Since I’m home most of the day with my kids, I have a flexible schedule and can give pets plenty of attention, playtime, and care. Whether your pet needs a walk, a quick check-in, or loving company while you’re gone, I’d be happy to help. I’m also looking to earn a little extra income for my family, and there’s no better way to do that than by spending time with furry friends. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Since I’m a stay-at-home mom with my little ones, I have a very flexible schedule and am often available throughout the day. In some cases, my children may come with me for drop-in visits or certain pet care tasks. They are gentle, respectful around animals, and have grown up around pets themselves, so they are very comfortable and calm with them. Our family loves animals, and we always treat every pet with kindness, patience, and care. When caring for pets, I always do my best to follow the routine and preferences discussed with their owner. I know how important consistency is for animals, so I aim to keep their feeding times, walks, playtime, and general care as close to their normal schedule as possible. My goal is to help them feel comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you’re away.

About: My husband David and I are lifelong dog lovers who have welcomed many rescue dogs into our family over the years. Our current pets—a Pomeranian and a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel—are both very friendly and get along wonderfully with other dogs. We also have a rescued indoor/outdoor cat who is equally social and gentle. After a five-year break, we’re excited to return to pet sitting because of our genuine love for animals and the joy we’ve had helping dogs and their owners. Our Home & Care We live on one acre of fully secured, fenced-in land with a dog run area and a doggie door for easy access. David is retired and home most of the day, so your pets will have plenty of attention. He primarily covers daytime care, while I handle evenings and feedings. We have many years of experience dog- and cat-sitting for family and friends, both in the Bay Area and now in our current community. We understand firsthand how stressful it can be to leave your “fur babies,” and our goal is to give you peace of mind while you’re away. Additional Services For an added charge, I can provide grooming services during your pet’s stay, as I am a former professional dog groomer. We look forward to meeting you and your pets and providing them with a safe, loving, and fun environment while you’re away! My husband is retired and home during the day, so he handles the daytime routines. I take over in the afternoons and evenings to ensure consistent care. We go on daily leash walks with our dogs, and at night, your pup is welcome to sleep in our room for comfort and companionship We have a fully secured, fenced-in backyard with over an acre of space for dogs to safely run, play, and explore. Our pets are truly part of our family, and we will care for your dogs with the same love, attention, and safety we give our own

About: Im so excited to be working for you! What a treat to be able to love on your beautiful babies! I enjoy pet sitting so much because just like people, animals have their own personalities and it’s really neat for me to discover them in all the little fur friends I get to meet. I am good natured and loving and your pet will notice that right off the bat. I’m caring and compassionate and you won’t have to worry about your babies while I am there. I enjoy overnight stays because I know it’s important for them to be “at home”. It’s easy for me to feel at home wherever I go! I have a kitty and he stays home and is very content with that. He is a super friendly 15 lb MainCoon that has a very sweet personality. He’s always up for belly rubs. He does not accompany me on any of my stays or visits. I have several families that aren’t on rover that I just love so much. So their reviews aren’t on here. But if you need references, please let me know. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hang out with your fur family and know that you can rest easy knowing they are in good hands, I am open to visits and check ins or even long weekends or vacations. It would be great to come to you. Take a vacation and relax knowing your home and sweet babies are being lovingly cared for. Unfortunately I am unable to board any pets at this time. I don’t have the needed space to accommodate them. Thank you so very much!

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rescue on Rover is $19 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $9 and $31 per visit. sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

As of October 2026, there are 3,279 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rescue. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Rescue. On Rover:

  • 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
  • 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
  • 96% can help with daily exercise

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
