“Meredith is amazing!! My dog was immediately comfortable with her and gets excited to see her every time she comes. She takes tons of pictures of my pup every visit, and reaches out with updates. Meredith is 100% someone you can count on!”
“Jade is professional, dependable and was great with our Shih Tzu and Weimaraner. She took her time with our babies and we could not thank her enough for helping out on short notice. Will definitely be a repeat customer!”
“Octavia was great! My family is so happy to have found her! She took excellent care of our fur and shell babies. She made sure the pets were very well cared for. She also was very professional made sure their kitty boxes, feeding spaces, etc were clean and swept. She showed up on time, communicated extremely well, and provided pictures each time (of all the pets, even the ones hiding!). We was a pleasure to work with and made me feel completely assured that my babies were safe and taken care of while we were gone! We highly recommend her, and will request her again the next time we travel! Thank you so much, Octavia! 🥰🐈⬛🐈🐕🦺🐢❤️”
“Jarad did a great job taking care of our two cats. We asked for daily drop-ins to feed them and scoop the litterbox. He is very mature, friendly, and reliable. While we didn't ask for daily pictures, he sent one anyway which was kind. We had to ask him to go above cat sitting and to bring in our mail as the USPS was not holding it as we requested. He kindly helped us out with that too. He provided A+ service and care and we are very pleased.”
“Kaitlyn was super sweet and great with Hudson! He needs a lot of attention and has specific care and she provided all of that. We will definitely use her as often as we need her!”
“Jessica was great with our senior large dogs and super flexible with our schedule. Communication was easy, and we felt totally comfortable leaving our crew in her care. We came home to happy, relaxed dogs and couldn’t ask for more. Highly recommend Jessica and would happily book with her again!”
“Angela was amazing at taking care of our pups! She sent pictures from each visit and went above what was requested during her visits! We will certainly be using her services again!”
“Gabrielle was great, I wish I could give more stars! It was last minute as we couldn't take our Dior on our trip, so I was really worried as we had never left her with anyone before. But Gabrielle put our minds at ease while on vacation. She also kept great communication with us!! I would definitely be booking with her again!!”
“She really helped save the day when we were out of town. She replies quickly, provides detailed feedback, is flexible and responsive to changes as they arise, and showed genuine care for our cat. I could go on about all she did to really help us in our time of need.”
“Macie is amazing! She is super communicative and timely, and our boy Sammy was so excited to make new friends in her and her son. She sent plenty of photos, and it was so great to see how well Sammy was doing during her drop-ins. This was our first time using Rover and we highly recommend Macie for your furry friend’s needs!”
About: I’ve helped raise and take care of dogs since I was 10 or so. We’ve had several litters of puppies that we had to raise and get rehomed as well as various animals to include cats, dogs, and smaller animals like guinea pigs and hamsters. Each animal has its own personality and that makes working with them so special. I have flexibility to stop in the middle of the day during the work week to check in on your pet and provide the care needed on a daily basis. I also have open availability on the weekends and evenings to check in as needed. I try to treat each animal how I would like my animals to be treated. They are alive and have personalities that should be tailored to the approach you give the pets. That’s my philosophy.
“Alysia did a great job watching my critters (2 cats and 2 leopard geckos) while I was on vacation. She has done drop in visits twice for me now and always does a great job!”
“It's always been hard for me to find someone I trust to take care of my sweet little dog when I'm away for long periods of time but knew from the time of my meet and greet with Megahn that I'd hit the jackpot! She's sweet, smart, reliable, trustworthy but most of all she's very loving when it comes to dogs! Knowing that she's studying and planning for spending the rest of her life taking care of animals (she's a pre-vet student at Virginia Tech) gives me that much more peace of mind. If you're looking for someone to take care of your dog when you can't, give her a call! She's wonderful.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Richmond Hill
Leaving your gang is always tough when you have aging pets who require extra love and attention. We have two senior dogs and one very old cat, so I was incredibly nervous about being away for an entire week. Thankfully, we found Jessica, and she was absolutely amazing! From the very start, she understood exactly how to care for our older crew. Every single day, she kept us completely in the loop with a million silly photos of our gang getting treats, snuggling up, and playing. Seeing them so happy and relaxed completely took away all our travel anxiety. Jessica went above and beyond to make sure our sweet seniors were comfortable, loved, and well-cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. 10/10—we will absolutely be booking her again!
Macie is amazing! She is super communicative and timely, and our boy Sammy was so excited to make new friends in her and her son. She sent plenty of photos, and it was so great to see how well Sammy was doing during her drop-ins. This was our first time using Rover and we highly recommend Macie for your furry friend’s needs!
Attentive and fun-loving (which is crucial for Indy)! Went above and beyond even offering to take care of some of the plants in my home. Apparently she has a green thumb with her whopping 150 plants at home. Definitely highly recommend her, especially considering this was a last-minute booking. Thanks Danielle!

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.

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.
