“Krista did a great job taking care of our kitty, Claude! Claude doesn’t let just anyone pet him and play with him right away but apparently he thinks Krista is his new bestie because he walked right up to the door to greet her and demand pets every night! Our cat was very well cared for while we were away. 😊”

About: I have been taking care of all types of animals since I was a teenager. I am great with dogs both large and small. My friends also call me the cat whisperer because I can earn any type of cats trust. I work Monday-Friday and get done around 4pm. I am very open on the weekends and every night of the week. Additionally my work schedule is flexible so if you need specific accommodations I can most likely make that work. I have a pet friendly apartment with lots of grass to run around in to play and go to the bathroom. Additionally my apartment is a comfy and cozy home with nothing that animals would be getting into.

“She is an outstanding dog walker who has consistently been reliable and attentive to Koko’s needs whenever requested. Scheduling has always been easy, and her communication is prompt, clear, and professional, which provides great peace of mind. She takes the time to ensure Koko is well cared for, and it is evident she genuinely enjoys what she does. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dependable and high-quality pet care.”

About: I currently volunteer with a local shelter to walk dogs and do various caretaking activities! Living in an apartment, I am unable to have a dog of my own :( here’s how I get the dog sized hole in my heart filled!! I only work 7-3 on weekdays, so am able to walk/offer care all afternoon and during the weekends! My schedule is also very flexible if something comes up. I love to get outside and take walks, so would be able to take your pet with me anytime. I am also able to stop by your home to check on your pet!

“Sara has been an absolutely incredible dog nanny, and I can’t recommend her highly enough! She is an amazing communicator—always keeping me in the loop with thoughtful updates, detailed report cards, and the most fantastic pictures of my pups that truly brighten my day. It’s clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs. She takes them on multiple walks each day, makes sure they’re comfortable and well cared for, and really takes the time to understand their personalities and needs. Sara consistently goes the extra mile, and it gives me such peace of mind knowing my dogs are in her care. If you’re looking for someone reliable, attentive, and truly wonderful with animals, Sara is the best of the best!”

About: I have had dogs since my childhood and have worked with breeds of different sizes and backgrounds, including some with special needs. In my home life, I have two cats that I adore and spend much of my free time with. I’m available all day on weekends, as well as from 5:30pm onward on weekdays (typically). If you have specific requirements for your animal let me know and we can create a schedule that works best for you! I can perform any specific needs that your pet may need. One of my own pets has special medical requirements, so I am familiar with taking care of animals that need extra care.

About: I am a cat and dog lover! I have about two years of pet sitting experience. I grew up having cats and now have two of my own that are 2 and 3 years old. I am very reliable, organized, punctual, patient, and flexible. I recently finished grad school and am so excited to have time to get back to pet sitting! My cats are like children to me and I will take care of your pets like they’re my own. My priority is to keep your pets happy and keep you satisfied as a customer! I have a very flexible schedule and can do 30-60 minute drop-in visits or dog walks at any time throughout the day. I only offer drop-ins at this time due to also having my own cats at home. I offer drop in visits in your home where I will feed, clean up after, and play with your pets. I understand the importance of keeping pets entertained while their humans are away and I will spend time doing their favorite activities with them!

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.
