“Debora was great to work with and very good at communicating. It was obvious she loved our dog and took great care of her while we were gone. We will certainly use her again in the future!”
“Toni is so sweet and helpful! She was always so flexible with our changing schedule and I know our dog was in good hands. He always looked so happy in all of the pictures she sent!”
“Elizabeth is an amazing Rover! She cared for our senior cat and provided compassionate care. She was very responsible and followed all instructions perfectly. She sent us daily photos and updates. We came home to a very happy cat and everything was left neat and orderly. We appreciate you Elizabeth! Thank you so much! 🐈”
About: I'm an animal lover that grew up in the northern VA area. I've had pets since I was a child, large and small. I'm willing to care for furry, feathered or caged friends, as well as, farm animals. To me, no home seems complete without a loving pet around. I will treat your pet as if it were my own. I can provide morning visits, afternoon visits, evening visits, house sitting, walks, etc. I’m experienced with senior pets, chronic illnesses and injuries, as well as administering medication. I'm flexible and ready to provide you a wonderful service and loving care. I'm here to help keep your pet safe and happy when you’re away. My availability is open to care for your animals, we can discuss your needs and determine a preferred plan. I will come to you as needed. I can offer my services in the comfort of your own home throughout the day, caring for your pets and house sitting if needed. We can walk, play or just give some attention.
“Jessica was paw-some! I was out of town for Thanksgiving and a work conference and she was able to accomodate both. She also went above and beyond as a sitter. Besides the usual photo/text updates, when my silly kitties made a mess of their litter box, she vacuumed the mess and tidied the guest room. Highly recommended and my kitties give 2 paws up ?”
About: Animals have always been a part of my life and my family. Horses, dogs, cats, hamsters, ferrets, fish and more have all been part of our lives! Just looking to offer care for other families out there that want to have their pet cared for as if they were family ☺️ I work full time weekdays, but am home in the afternoons/evenings and all weekends. I’m open to hosting in my home or making visits to yours! I have one friendly dog Australian Shepard who loves play dates! We also have one cat in the home who is friendly as well ☺️
“April is a pro at this job! She thinks ahead while I-the cat owner - am worried about last minutes things to pack 😊. We had a great meet and greet which made me confident about the care our cat needs. All went smoothly and perfectly at home while we were away. April sent pictures and comments at every visit 🙏”
“Farrin was absolutely fantastic!!! She took the time to video chat with us to make us feel reassured about leaving our new puppy. She gave us regular updates and took some amazing photos. Our pup loved her and she made sure we didn’t have to worry about him while we were away.”
About: All my life my family has had dogs. I am well equipment to care for small dogs, large dogs, old calm dogs, and young playful puppies. I’m open to any and all dogs! I’m a college student with a part time job, so I’m mainly only available on weekends. My schedule can vary though so don’t be afraid to reach out and ask! I am very thorough with instructions, so any information you give me about your dog will be followed to a tee. I’m comfortable with feeding, walking, letting your dogs out, cleaning up after them, and making sure they feel loved while you’re away!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for years and absolutely love making them feel at home while their families are away. I provide a calm, home-based environment with lots of one-on-one attention, outdoor playtime, walks, and plenty of love throughout their stay. I’m experienced with dogs of all ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I take the time to learn each dog’s routine and what makes them comfortable. My goal is for your pup to feel like they’re on their own little vacation rather than being stuck in a kennel! Pet care is a big part of my everyday routine! I work from home, so I’m able to give the dogs plenty of attention throughout the day with regular potty breaks, outdoor playtime, walks, meals, and lots of love. I enjoy spending time with the dogs throughout the day rather than leaving them alone for long periods, so they get to be part of my normal routine while they’re here. Whether your pup is staying with me or I’m caring for them in their own home, I try to keep their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. In my home, they get plenty of attention, outdoor playtime, walks, regular meals and potty breaks, and lots of love. For visits in your home, I follow your instructions and your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, making sure they get the care, exercise, attention, and companionship they need while you’re away.
“Katie was very attentive, helpful, and took the absolute best care of our cats. She was very accommodating and asked any questions or concerns she may have which we really appreciated. We felt confident that our babies were well taken care of while we were gone. Would definitely recommend booking her.”
“I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Matisa was professional, reliable, and genuinely cared about my dog. Matisa provided regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear my dog was happy, well cared for, and received plenty of attention and affection. I came home to a relaxed, healthy pup, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Matisa again. Highly recommend Matisa to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pet!”
About: I have had pets all my life. Right now I have a rescue dog from China and another dog I just adopted from the culpeper shelter! I have 2 cats as well. One of my cats is a tripod therefore needs extra attention. The other cat is an orange boy so you know he’s a handful. I am in between jobs so I have plenty of time watch your pup! My husband also works from home 2 days a week. NO CHILDREN in the home. I have a very large quiet yard to let your dog out to play (fenced in) . I have room to set up crates and food stations. Must be friendly towards other dogs and ok with being crated during bedtime.
“We had a wonderful experience with Jessica R. over the Thanksgiving weekend! Jessica took excellent care of our three dogs, two cats, and even our daughters’ energetic Goldendoodle. Managing that many pets is no small task, but Jessica handled everything with such calm, capable care. She communicated well with us and with our fur babies. We got regular updates, pet photos, and messages from Jessica that put us completely at ease while we were away. All of the animals were relaxed, happy, and clearly well-loved when we returned home. The house was tidy, food and water stations were clean, and it was obvious that our pets received plenty of attention and affection. We’re so grateful to have found someone we can trust with our furry family, and we will absolutely be booking with Jessica R. again. Highly recommend!”
About: I've watched pets of family and friends since I was a kid and always enjoyed it. I always make sure to spend plenty of time and give them as much attention as they want. For dogs, I did walks, gave bathroom breaks, play time, cleaned up accidents, and fed them. For cats I'll do the same, except walks. I am available everyday for the foresable future, on the bright side that leaves me with no commitments where I won't be able to watch your pets For my own cats, I fill the water and food bowls daily, as well as clean the litter boxes. Throughout the day I provide them with affection or a warm lap/bed. For dogs I will make sure they're completely safe outside and watch for any other dogs or cars. Inside I will do the same with my cats.
About: ******Previous Clients**** -Please message me if you do not see any availability on my calendar, and I will try my best to accommodate you. 💕 At this time, I do not allow parents in my home due to safety reasons and COVID. I am able to provide your fur baby with all the attention and love they will need while you are away. Also, I do not believe in caging animals, and your dog will be able to roam my house like their own. Though many people believe that it does not take a lot of experience to be good at dog sitting, it actually requires a number of skills. Consider first, how much you love your pets, and how you would feel if they were lost, taken for granted, and/or mistreated by an individual you are paying. This is why you must have a candidate who knows about different breeds of dogs, is on time, and know how to care for dogs in feeding, playing, and walking dogs. Moreover, they must love dogs-otherwise all will be amiss. I have been dog sitting as a profession for over eight years, and 15 years before that for my own dogs. I love animals, and have all the skills and experience you might need in a candidate.

Exceptional job. Very punctual and ensure my fur babies were looked after and cared for! Ms Debora went above and beyond by ensuring my three chewy deliveries were taken care of immediately! And I loved the daily narrative and pictures which made my day and cruise that much better! Ms Debora is the best!

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.

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.
