“Christine was amazing very attentive. My dogs were so happy every time she came over and my cat was pretty fond of her as well. We definitely recommend her and will book her again.”
“We had a wonderful experience with our pet sitter! She is so sweet, friendly, and has such a great personality. From the moment I met her, I felt very comfortable leaving my dogs in her care. I really appreciated all the updates and pictures she sent throughout the stay, including photos of the dogs food, water and even their potty updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were doing well and being taken care of. I would definitely recommend her and would happily have her watch our dogs again!”
About: We have 5 animals in the house, we’ve had them since they were puppies and all get along and friendly towards other people and animals. I work from home and take the pups out 5 times a day. Can take them out more if a pup has a weaker bladder. I usually take mine out at the same time but have enough time in the day to take your pup out individually. Everyone really lounges at home while I work or go out but my boy loves to play so we have best of both worlds and doggie beds all over the house if they’re tired or can play in the back yard.
“Nina was awesome! This was my first time leaving my pets with anyone while my family and I were away on vacation, and she made the entire experience stress-free. My dogs don’t get along with just anyone, they’re very high-energy, but from the moment they met Nina, they instantly connected with her. That gave me a lot of peace of mind while we were away. Nina was extremely attentive and detail-oriented. She sent photos during every check-in, kept us updated throughout the whole process, and even provided photo proof that the house was secure. She also cleaned up any messes, brought in packages that were left outside, and truly went above and beyond what was asked of her. I will definitely book with her again, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter! too!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my whole life and truly love spending time with them. I currently have a playful 1-year-old Schnauzer at home. Over the years, friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets, and it’s something I genuinely enjoy. I have experience with special diets and can follow basic medical instructions with care. I always take the time to connect with each dog based on their unique personality. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend! I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have all the time in the world to care for and play with your pet! I’m available 7 days a week and would love to spend quality time with your furry friend. I also have a fenced yard and my sweet Schnauzer can keep your pup company—if you’re comfortable with that. Your pet’s safety is my top priority

I am meticulous about following instructions regarding feeding, refreshing water, locking up, and keeping your home secure.
“Marcela is an amazing pet sitter. She was beyond thorough following all the instructions we provided for our four cats. She was always on time and paid close attention to detail. Truly a pleasure to work with and we will definitely reach out to her again next time we need a cat sitter. I’m certain she is great with all pets but if you have cats, she should be your go to :)”

About: I have always owned animals growing up and now I take care of animals for a living. I would love to continue my passion when I’m not at work. I have experience with many different species including reptiles, birds, fish, and of course, dogs and cats. I know the importance of finding a good pet sitter as I own pets myself. Allow me the opportunity to care for yours as if they were mine. I have fairly normal work hours from 8am to 4:30pm. So this gives me plenty of time to spend with your fur baby. Since my schedule is pretty consistent with my days off being during the week, I am able to do multiple walks and drop ins on my days off. I utilize the space provided. So if my client has a backyard and needs me to take their pet out, I can do so. Otherwise, I’ll take the pet out for a walk.
About: As a proud dog mom to a Yorkie and someone who has actively cared for dogs for over two years, I truly treat every pup like my own. I’ve also fostered several dogs a deeply rewarding experience that taught me how to make any dog feel safe, loved, and right at home. To me, dogs are just like babies: they need genuine affection, structured care, and plenty of attention. When your dog is with me, you can rest easy knowing they’re getting the exact same love and devotion I give my own fur baby. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, your dog will never be left waiting. I ensure timely feedings, regular potty breaks, and plenty of affection throughout the day. Plus, I have a fully fenced yard where they can safely run around, play, and feel right at home. I take feeding and potty routines seriously, and if your pup is crate-trained or follows a specific schedule, I can seamlessly match it. Just let me know your dog's daily routine, and I’ll make sure they feel completely comfortable and loved while you’re away
“Fred took great care of our two high-maintenance cats during drop-in visits over a long weekend. This morning, we found them waiting by the door in case he visited again! Fred is super professional and detail-oriented. We were able to relax during our short vacation because we knew our cats were in great hands. We highly recommend Fred.”

Christine is such a great help. Genuine, reliable, and a person of her word whom always goes the extra mile. Very professional but also like a great friend that you know is doing what they love and her attention to detail is 100% for the true love of her furry clients. I can't say enough great things about Christine. ❤️
Kathryn took such great care of Spike while we were on our extended trip. She was extremely professional, gave us daily updates, and followed our care instructions perfectly. Couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver. We will definitely rebook her the next time we need a pet sitter.
My cats feel very safe and comfortable around Carolina. They are usually frightened of other people, but they get along with Carolina very well. Carolina is a good communicator and updated us about the cats daily. She has watched my cats multiple times and I have never had any issues.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
