“Gabrielle was great! After recently moving, I needed someone last minute to do a drop in visit with my cat while I was away. Gabrielle was communicative and responsive from our first contact. She made time in her schedule for a meet and greet before her visit to meet Serena and make sure it was a good fit. While I was away, Gabrielle continued communication to let me know how Serena was doing and even took several photos during the visit to ease my mind. She even made sure everything was okay when I returned. I absolutely hope to use Gabrielle again in the future.”
“Brianna was kind enough to accept our very last minute request and came over to meet the cats and get care instructions ahead of time. Very happy to have found a friendly and professional sitter in our new town.”
“Amy is a wonderful pet sitter! She is reliable and friendly. She’s taken care of our cat many times while we’ve been away and we feel very lucky whenever she is available!”
“Davene has been a fantastic sitter for my puppy. While he is still a little timid and learning to be around other people who aren’t me, her updates to me show that he has warmed up to her, which shows that she truly cares for the pets she looks after.”
About: I enjoy walking daily and I also love long distance running so if you have a dog that would like to run that would be wonderful. I have young kids to pick up and drop off early morning but then I have my day to the animals which is equally fun . I am also available weekends. I am a cat owner and my 3 cats are part of my family. However I can’t have pets at my house because of my cats. I would love to visit your pets at their home. I also have worked in healthcare for 2 decade’s administrating medication. I and able to give injections to pets if needed .
“Our regular pet sitter was unavailable and I reached out to Alexandra. She was very responsive and easy to work with. I would gladly book with her again to watch my fur babies.”
“Julie was really great!! She def knows cats!! I felt so comfortable leaving my kitties with her. She was able to give my cat medications and his inhaler as he has asthma. Was really great about following all instructions and had great photos to share. So happy with her care and would def use her again.”
About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. I’m a cat owner myself and have two wonderful female cats. I’m passionate about providing care. I volunteer at the SPCA and received training in both feline and canine behavior and handling. I regularly attend cat adoption events to help cats find loving homes. A few years ago, my family drove hours to adopt my now 4 year old cat, Francis, after finding her through a Craigslist listing. I’ve also sat pets for family and friends, cats and dogs. I have experience caring for small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and mice. I use SEPTA and Lyft for transportation, for that reason, I prefer bookings within Philly. My services are available to you and your pet 24/7. My personal routine is very flexible! Your pet comes first and will always be under my supervision during the stay. I am Fear Free® certified and aim for every pet to feel safe and comfortable in my care. I follow any given instructions and keep you updated during the stay with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away.
“Jessica did a great job with our (somewhat prickly) cat who gets nervous when we are away! She kept us updated on exactly what was going on while we were out of town. We definitely plan on using her services again the next time we are traveling!”
“After just one visit, Uni already loves Elley! She’s amazing and treats my fur baby with so much care. We’re both so happy we found her. Highly recommend Elley to anyone looking for loving pet care!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs my entire life and have experience with breeds of all sizes and personalities—from Chihuahuas and Maltese to Huskies and Pit Bulls. As a proud Pit Bull owner, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and treating every dog as an individual. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their pets over the years, and I always treat every dog like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to provide safe, loving, and reliable care while making sure every pup feels happy, comfortable, and well cared for. As a stay-at-home mom and lifelong dog lover, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable pet care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a midday walk, potty break, exercise, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to being reliable, punctual, and giving them the love and care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and happiness are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so they feel comfortable and secure. I’ll always respect your home, ensure leashes and harnesses are properly secured, provide fresh water, and send regular photo and message updates so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I love animals and promise to give your dog extra attention and love while walking them!

I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! She was reliable, attentive, and genuinely caring with my cats. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she treated my cats with patience, love, and care as if they were her own. I came home to happy, well-cared-for cats and couldn’t be more grateful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and compassionate to care for their pets!
Miranda is awesome! She was able to fit me in for a last minute booking which I really appreciated. Over the four day booking, she earned the trust and affection of two cats. I am absolutely amazed because these cats are notoriously quite spicy 😂 She also administered daily medicine and sent many pics each day. You can trust Miranda to make your time away from your furry children stress free - highly recommend!
Andrew was phenomenal! We used him to put our senior dog out 3 times a day while we were on vacation. He was caring, punctual, and great with updating me on how our dog was! My dog was also very comfortable with Andrew and had no problems eating or doing his business while we were away! He made sure our dog was very well taken care of! Definitely suggest Andrew if you want your mind at ease while leaving your animal when you go away!

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 Riverton 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.

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.
