“Anna was wonderful with our Bean and Boba. She did everything we asked of her while we were away for a night. I will definitely contact Anna for a drop-in next time.”
“Amanda was great with my two kitties. They are older and have quirks (random water glasses to fill, supplements to add to their food, etc) and she didnt bat an eye at any of it. I would definitely book her again!”
“Kha went above and beyond to make sure our pooch Goose was happy and taken care of. Takes him out twice in the hour, and while he didn't want to play much, he did love cuddling and hanging out. Thank you Kha!”
About: Hi! I am a stay-at-home mom of a human baby and two fur babies. I previously worked in upstate NY for a dog training company, My Dog Hikes, as a dog hiker where we took dogs from NYC into the woods for full day dog-care fun. Because of this I am comfortable giving medication and using training commands. I also have a Cattle Dog (Clayton) and Black Lab mix (Tarzan) of my own. I would love to take your little ones on the trails, play fetch in the yard, or just snuggle on the couch with lots of pets. I have a very open schedule so can work around any timeframe you need! As childcare is very expensive, please note before booking me that my son, Eli (3), will be joining me on my jobs. We can always meet beforehand to see if it's a good fit! Additionally - I do not accept requests for recurring weekly services and prefer them to be sporadic. As I am a stay-at-home mom your typical work week is when I am available. I can be flexible around your schedule! I can also stop by to spend some time with your pets on the weekend, so you can go enjoy a trip away. (: I do not care for dogs in my own home as my Lab does not like other dogs. In your home, however, I take care to follow all instructions closely! I take many pictures so prepare for cuteness overload. I also have experience working with a dog training/walking company in NYC and am comfortable with a wide array of needs.
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was a little girl. Currently I have a slightly spicy and grumpy diabetic min pin, so I’m no stranger to any “Handle with Care” pets. I’m also blessed to have professional animal behavior, training, and care experience in the zoological field. It very easily transfers over to our furry friends!🐾 I love pups of all ages and levels of care needed. I’m more than willing to put forth my best efforts to help your doggo have a better day💕 I’m new to the area and have a new full time job, so my routine isn’t set in stone at this time. But I will surely update as I become accustom to my new life! I always follow instruction and preferences given by fellow pet parents, and treat the client and home as if it were my own. Bringing a little bit of my passions but also a respectful attitude to your home ☺️
“Rue had the best time with Jerry for her drop in visit. It is so nice knowing our dog is well cared for when we are gone!! We loved getting her report card after each day!”
“Victoria was amazing! My animals were well attended, the food bowls rinsed and in the dishwasher, the litter cleaned. All instructions were followed and beyond. I will definitely have Victoria back again!”
“Brian is wonderful with our dog! He is easy to communicate with, reliable and trustworthy. Our dog loves to see him and looks forward to his visits. Brian really cares about our dog and I’m so grateful we connected. Not only does he clearly love and respect animals, he is also very professional and detail oriented. 100% recommend him for any pet sitting needs.”
About: I have lived with animals most of my life. While I currently do not own a pet, I have continued to surround myself with the animals of my friends and family. I started cat-sitting 2 years ago. When I pet sit, I aim to ensure a great experience for my furry friends. I am currently working part-time as an Occupational Therapist (OTR/L) and am flexible in my hours. I am currently a part-time Occupational Therapist, so I have flexibility in my schedule to take care of your furry friend. I have my own transportation as well. I work hard to ensure a safe and comfortable environment for your animal in their home environment. A detailed description of your animal's needs is much appreciated.
“she has gone above and beyond for both of my kitties while i’ve been away. i can’t thank Constance enough for the security and well being in our absence. She is always willing to do a task for me, whether i ask for it or not. Book Constance if you’ve been searching for a great Rover!!!!”
“Princess help me out tremendously for my 30 day trip abroad. Did two weekly visits and followed the -admittedly- overly specific instructions required for all of my cats including their food, litter-robot, and more. Made my trip so much less stressful!”
About: I've taken care of animals all throughout my life and have worked with and in shelters for the past 4 years. I have plenty of experience with a variety of breeds, from Chihuahua to Mastiff. With a variety of experience in average, senior, and medicinal care, I'm happy to accommodate for you and your pet's needs, I look forward to caring for your fur babies! I can walk and board all week days and weekend days. I am available for in-home/housesitting care from Thursdays-Mondays. I work full-time but am afforded a flexible schedule, so feel free to reach out about your specific needs! I have 2 of my own cats that are as sweet as can be and would love the chance to meet new friends, if you and your pet are up for it. Otherwise, I have a custom "cat city" room and an outdoor patio and backyard for fur friends to get plenty of privacy (with supervision of course!) if they need it.
“Overall excellent service! Elizabeth is punctual, reliable, goes above and beyond with communicating about our pup, and is so kind. Our dog jumps with joy every time he sees her.”
“Solace was absolutely amazing in taking care of my pack. She went above and beyond and ensured that all of my animals were well taken care of. I definitely recommend and will reach out to her when I need services !”

Brian took great care of Enzo & Lily while we were away for the weekend! He made sure they received the care and attention they're used to, and kept their schedule as close to normal as possible. I appreciate his reliability, communication, and attention to detail. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter. Thanks again!
Valerie is absolutely terrific. We have had her a few times now and each time we know our fur babies are in loving hands. She genuinely cares about our cats and is very knowledgeable, keeping an eye on "high maintenance" items or concerning items. She really goes above and beyond and we look forward to having Auntie Valerie take care of our munchkins again. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! :)
Nora is absolutely amazing, and I cannot recommend her enough! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ She has always taken such wonderful care of our pets and our home, and I feel completely comfortable knowing they’re in her hands while we’re away. This trip, I ended up having a couple of extra requests come up, and Nora went above and beyond to help me with every single one of them without hesitation. She is incredibly dependable, accommodating, responsive, and genuinely caring. It means so much to have a pet sitter I can truly rely on, especially when I’m away from home. Nora consistently makes things easier and gives me such peace of mind knowing everyone is being well cared for. We are so grateful for her and feel very lucky to have found her. She will absolutely continue to be our go-to sitter! ❤️🐾
This is my second booking with Regan. Once for this come over/potty break/hangout; the other for a multi-overnight. My dogs absolutely LOVE when Regan comes over. Charlie loves everyone and likes to talk about it. Lucy is a very reserved but wants to check things out in case she need to hide. When Regan first met them, she came over to get the key. Lucy was like, "hey lady, 'sup?..", took 2 little ear scratches, and walked off (high praise from her). Charlie was like, "HELLO! You smell like friend." Given this response I knew these goobers would be in great hands. After both visits, when we came in, the girls were on the sofa like, "Dang... It's not Regan, just the parents," and promptly returned to sofa-mode. For our overnight, we returned to a nicely tidy house and happy dogs. (Not the case with other sitters.) We are excited to book with Regan again for our next overnight.
Kimberly went above and beyond and made sure my kitties were loved while I was away. She's very communicative, friendly, and trustworthy. Even my skiddish kitty felt comfortable with her. She's also an excellent plant mom! My plants look better coming home than when I left!

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 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 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 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.
