“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs, including our senior dog who needs a gentler approach. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We’re extremely happy with her service and would absolutely trust her with our pups again! We highly recommend Lauren!”
“Becky was patient, compassionate and kind to our senior girl. She even put up with this first time cat Mom! Love the Rover Card that gives updates and pics! I will definitely have Becky assist in the future. Highly recommend Becky!!”
“Auden has been helping us weekly with our new pup. She follows our directions exactly and does a great job with our golden. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for someone to take care of your pet.”
“Ceinwein did a great job and was available with short notice. Very reliable and experienced with dealing with an elderly dog and giving medication. Will definitely use her services again!”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for a total of 5 years. I volunteered at an animal shelter to take care of cats, and worked for a few months taking care of dogs. I have also dog sat for friends when they went away and didn't have any issues. I have 2 dogs, one I got in January 2022 (chapo) and the other (pablo) in March 2022. Mr. Chapo was a rescue from the spca and we have had Mr. Pablo since he was 3 months old. Chapo is an American staffordshire and is 7.5 years old and pablo is 3.5 years old. I want everyone to be aware that I work full time and can be available in the mornings Sunday-Wednesday’s. I am free all day every other Wednesday. I am available all day Thursday-Saturday. I am more than happy to dog sit overnight/in the morning before i go to work. I will work with you so we can make sure your little one (or big one) is cared for! I am available on most weekends. Holidays may differ depending on my schedule. I let Chapo out when I get home and let him roam around outside because he just sleeps most of the day. When I am not home he is inside. Pablo is in his crate when I am at work. He likes going outside but not a huge fan. I will care for your pet however you would like since its your fur baby!
“I am so very appreciative of Tricia! I love my doggos with my whole heart, and I wouldn't trust them with just anyone. I knew right away, and my dogs knew right away, Tricia was one of the good ones. Thank you so much for taking care of my babies!”
“It always stinks leaving my pets alone, but with Suzanne I know that they are being well cared for. She’s super attentive and takes great care of the animals under her watch. Five stars as always!”
About: 4 years of experience + 2 happy pups of my own! 🐾 I’ve cared for dogs of friends and family and love making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well taken care of. I’m currently going to school and working when I can. I am available anytime after 1pm Mon-We’d And available all day on the weekends. I am flexible as my schedule during the week changes. I treat every pet like they’re my own. In my home, they’ll get lots of attention, playtime, and a cozy, safe space to relax. I have half an acre for pups to run around as well as a walking path across the street. I also have the best yellow lab girl. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s usual routine as closely as possible so they feel comfortable and secure. Whether it’s walks, feeding, or just spending time with them, I make sure they feel loved and cared for.
“Guinevere was fantastic! Great communication, with pictures of my boy playing and being cuddled just like I'd have done. I was worried because I had never left my cat before. Guinevere made sure that she took care of him just as I would and when I got home, my cat was a happy boy! If you're looking for a pet sitter who cares for your fur babies just as you would, Guinevere is the one!”

About: I have spent my entire life growing up with numerous and varied pets, which has given me experience with different animals and their needs. I would love to care for your pet—any breed, size, or personality! My schedule is very flexible, and I would love to discuss scheduling a time that works for you! Please reach out, so we can discuss your needs. I will clarify with you if there are any specific needs or routines that would be followed for your pet. Typically, I would enter and greet your pet (whether with pets or from afar), feed them per instructions, and give them fresh water. For dogs, we will head outside for a walk or exercise in the backyard, and for cats, I would clean their litter box and then play or relax with them. Whether it is a drop-in, overnight stay, or walk, I will make sure your doors and gates are locked!
“I always love getting report cards from Alexandra! She always gives a detailed review of her time with Millie and she takes the best pictures. We appreciate her so much.”
About: I’m currently a veterinary student with hands-on experience caring for animals of all sizes and personalities. In addition to my veterinary education, I previously worked in a large mixed-animal veterinary practice where I gained experience assisting with both routine and emergency cases involving small and large animals. Through that experience, I became comfortable working in high-pressure situations, handling animals safely, recognizing signs of illness or distress, administering medications, and supporting patient care during emergencies. I also grew up around farm animals and have experience working on a farm, which gave me strong confidence handling large animals and understanding animal behavior. I’m very comfortable around horses, cattle, and other livestock, as well as dogs and cats of all sizes and temperaments. My background has taught me patience, responsibility, and the importance of calm, attentive handling for every animal. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your pets with someone else, so I strive to provide dependable care, clear communication, and plenty of love and attention while you’re away. Whether your pet needs drop-ins, walks, medication administration, exercise, companionship, or extra monitoring, I treat every animal like they’re my own. I’m currently home for the summer from veterinary school, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for pet care. Since I’m not working another job at the moment, I’m able to dedicate a lot of time and attention to my clients and their pets throughout the week. I’m available for drop-ins, and pet sitting. I am open to some other services situation dependent. I understand how important reliability and communication are when trusting someone with your pets, so I strive to be responsive, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual needs. Whether your pet needs a quick visit, extra playtime, medication administration, or simply companionship while you’re away, I’m happy to help and provide care you can feel confident about. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and trust are my top priorities. With veterinary, mixed-animal practice, and farm experience, I’m confident handling a wide range of animals calmly and responsibly. I focus on maintaining their normal routines to reduce stress and keep them comfortable while you’re away. I also prioritize clear communication and reliable updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide safe, attentive care and peace of mind every visit.
“Juliette took care of our cat Bella while we were away and did a super job!!! She followed our directions in feeding Bella and making sure the litter box stayed clean each day. She also took good care of a fish we have. Juliette updated us each day on how Bella was doing. She would have also sent us pictures, but Bella is a very shy skittish cat and is very afraid of strangers. Everyday Bella was in hiding mode when Juliette was around. Juliette also went out of her way to help us with our mail at one point. She is a very capable pet sitter, and we feel completely comfortable in having her take care of Bella. We will definitely ask her to pet sit Bella again in the future!”
About: I have several years of experience caring for dogs and providing reliable drop-in care for families with different routines and needs. I also have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone trustworthy and attentive to care for your pets. I genuinely love dogs and enjoy making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a part of my daily routine. I’m used to feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure dogs get plenty of attention and care throughout the day. Since I enjoy being active and spending time with animals, drop-in visits fit naturally into my weekly schedule. I’m organized, reliable, and able to plan my day around making sure pets are cared for consistently and on time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal and comfortable as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get plenty of attention and playtime, and receive walks or potty breaks as needed. I always pay close attention to each dog’s personality, behavior, and any specific instructions provided by the owner. Safety and trust are very important to me, so I make sure doors, gates, and leashes are secure at all times and that the home is left exactly how I found it. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners can feel reassured while they’re away. Since I have two dogs of my own, I understand how important it is to know your pets are in caring and reliable hands.
About: As a lifelong dog lover and owner of three dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and needs. I stay active, enjoy long walks, and love spending time outdoors playing fetch and keeping dogs engaged. What sets me apart is the genuine care and patience I bring to every visit. I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, making sure they get plenty of exercise, attention, and affection! I'm a college student home for the summer with plenty of time to spend caring for your pets! I'm available weekdays until 3:00 PM for walks, drop-in visits, and playtime. Weekend availability is offered upon request. I care for pets with patience, kindness, and close attention. I make sure they have plenty of exercise, playtime, and companionship while their owners are away. As an active person and dog owner myself, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, and keeping dogs engaged and happy. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, just as I would my own dogs.

Rebecca did a great job caring for our three one year old cats while we were away. She made sure they had food and water, a clean litter box, and a little playtime. She also was kind enough to check on the status of our refrigerator since we had lost power the day of her visit. Thanks so much for your attentive care, Rebecca!
We used to board our pets and never felt good about it, always worried about them while away. We decided to use Rover and contacted Don N. to be our sitter. Don visited us and familiarized us with Rover and meet our pups. We found Don to be exactly what we were looking for to sit our dogs. We did not worry once while away as we got updates and pictures every time he visited. Really put our minds at ease to know our dogs were safe and home. Highly recommend Rover.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Richlandtown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 93% of sitters can help with special care needs

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
