“Kim was so wonderful to our cat and rabbit! We are so nervous to ever leave them and Kim made us feel like they were in the best possible hands. We are so lucky to have found her!”
“Christine is the absolute best sitter!!! My dog doesn’t get along with too many people, but Christine knows just how to take care of him. She goes above and beyond what is expected.”
“My pup lived her best life while I was away! Chelsea did drop ins at my house and even though I unknowingly ended up somewhere with ZERO service for 2 days she was true and treated my doggy right on a holiday weekend no less. BOOOOOOOK CHELSEAAAAAA NOWWWWW!!!”
“Leah was a great communicator and made me feel comfortable leaving my pets! She made sure to send some photos after every drop in and even brought in my mail for me! I will definitely be using Leah again”
“This is the second time Fallonnhas taken care of my cat. Fallon does a really nice job and clearly has spent time with Mimsy when she visits. Mimsy takes a while to warm up to people and she has allowed Fallon to brush her and give her medication Fallon sends pics every time she visits.”
About: I’m not doing this as a side hobby—I live this every day with my own pets. I understand behavior, energy levels, and how to keep animals calm, happy, and cared for. Your pet won’t just be watched—they’ll be understood, respected, and spoiled (in the best way). Because I work from home, I’m around throughout the day and can easily build pet care into my daily routine. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to handle feedings, walks, and playtime consistently while making sure your pet gets plenty of attention and care. I have a fenced in yard and my 3 dogs play well with others,I also have 2 cats but they stay in one part of the house and usually let the digs do thsir own thing.
About: I’ve always had a deep love for animals, a kind of unconditional love and acceptance that feels safe and comforting. That passion shaped my approach to pet care. I worked towards a career that focuses on caring for wildlife and animals as a whole. My experience includes volunteering at shelters and humane societies, where I walked, socialized, and bathed dogs, as well as cared for puppies and their mothers. I A unique part of my background includes working as a “goat whisperer” at a goat yoga farm, giving me experience with a variety of animals. So not only can I wrap your pup in loving energy, but I can take care of your Kid too! As a recent college graduate, I have plenty of free time during the week and on weekends, which allows me to be fully available for your pet’s needs. My schedule is flexible, so I can easily adapt to whatever routine works best for you and your pet. I provide a safe and comfortable environment for pets, whether in my home or yours. In my household, I care for an 8-year-old Yorkshire Terrier, which has given me experience with high-energy, anxious, and senior dogs. I tailor each pet’s care to their specific needs, ensuring their time spent is worthwhile.
“Rebecca is great with animals. She shows up professionally and with genuine care for her work. If you're in need of pet care, particularly if you have larger dogs, Rebecca will not disappoint. She went above and beyond. Thank you, Rebecca.”
“I am so happy to have Morgan looking after my girl Carly! It has reduced the stress and anxiety that I feel when leaving her knowing that she has such a caring pet sitter looking after her! I get the cutest pictures and videos and it just makes my heart happy! I am thankful that Rover was recommended to me, but even more grateful that I found Morgan!”
About: My name is Estrella but my friends call me Telly. I am bilingual, English and Spanish. We do overnight dog sitting at our home because we miss our two dogs. We live in Snellville, GA. If you need for us to pick up your pet, please let us know. We love dogs and will take care of yours like there were our own babies. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask them. Hope to hear from you in the near future. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover all my life. And since I am retired I enjoy the company of dogs in my home. They make good company and I love giving them tender loving care. So beware, you dog might go back to his or her home spoiled by us. About my yard Backyard is fence and our guest are enjoying it. P.S. If you request that I only take care of your dog, there will be an extra charge, depending on your dogs personality of $10 to $15 per night. If you do not hear back from me within 30 minutes, please feel free to call me on my Rover number. It will ring on my home phone number which is not a cell, thank you. I am retired so I am home full time so your pet(s) gets my undivided attention, and love. And kisses....home away from home is my motto. I have a back yard fenced for the enjoyment of your pet(s). Weather permitting we let them go out during the day, a few times to play. My husband and I are retired, so we have plenty of time to take care of your baby. We do leave the home occasionally for personal errands, but during that time your pet will be cage for his protection. We treat your pet as if it was part of our family. We play with them, pet and pamper them. We will administer medicines per your request, and will take care of them when sick.
About: I’ve had a dog my whole life from babies to full grown adults! We play, go on walks and hikes. Also always room for cuddles! I work from home most of the time, unless I am out on an appointment. My dog is usually roaming free and when I’m away, he is in the kennel. I live in an apartment home that has a dog park and a park less than two minutes away from me for a bigger and better environment to play.
About: What truly sets me apart is my deep experience with dogs of every temperament, especially those with special behavioral or emotional needs. Unlike sitters who only know "easy" dogs, I have spent my life caring for a wide spectrum of rescues, from fearful and anxious to hyperactive and aggressive personalities. I treat every dog as an individual, and I have a proven ability to connect, communicate, and build trust with all of them. I've successfully managed daily medication schedules and provided attentive care for senior pets and energetic puppies alike. My friends and family jokingly call me "The Dog Whisperer" because I bring a unique blend of patience, calm energy, and deep love to every interaction. This means that whether your pet is shy, a little reactive, or just needs constant attention, you can rest assured they are with a caregiver who understands them. Pet care is not a side job, it is part of my daily routine and a priority. I am a stay-at-home dad, so I can structure my day to ensure maximum availability and dedicated time with every dog. I have a large fenced yard and a four-year-old Basset Hound who loves to meet and play with new friends. I am also the father of two elementary-aged kids who will give your pet all the love they could ever hope for.
About: I’ve raised & trained all my pets myself. My days are mostly free so I’m good with getting pets on a schedule. I’m comfortable with all breeds. I’m currently working overnight so my days are free. I have a decent sized space so your pet will be comfortable. I can accommodate supervised nights. I have a pet myself so your pet will have company. I’m fine with schedules & directions for pets. I take my dog out frequently. I treat train my pet as well as crate train.
“Elan was great in a very unusual dog sitting situation. It is obviously that this is more than a job for her, but a labor of love. She sent daily reports and answered any questions we had about their welfare. I would definitely use her again!”
About: I’ve been taking care of cats for 6 to 10 years now, plus dogs belonging to family and friends along the way. I have my own cat named sheeba! I have a real soft spot for small pets too, puppies, rabbits, hamsters, cats and I know how to keep them calm, comfortable, and on their normal routine while you’re away. I treat every pet like it’s my own. I’m a business owner and I’ll be starting school on August 24th, so my schedule shifts around a bit, just ask and I’ll let you know what works. Generally, I’m most available on weekends and Fridays, plus afternoons and evenings most other days. I always make sure your pet gets the time and attention they need, no matter how busy things get I have a fenced yard in a quiet neighborhood, plus I'm stocked with cat supplies, a litter box, and grooming tools to keep your pet comfortable. Whether I'm watching your pet in your home or mine, I make sure they stick to their normal routine and feel safe the whole time. Your pet's comfort and safety always come first with me.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rockbridge
I have to tell you that if you want someone that will care for your pet the way you would, Morgan is the one. She was so wonderful with my sweet Carly and I will forever be grateful for the care she provided in my sweet girl's last weeks. Honest, professional and caring . . . she is definitely someone you want to hire for pet care!!
First time using Rover app and meeting Christine. She was amazing and took such good care of Marley. Went the extra mile to make sure Marley was taken care of when she wasn’t eating. She got sad when we left and was hardly eating and Christine brought some different food and extra treats. Always on time and gave great updates and pics! Highly recommend Christine!
Eliscia was amazing with our 4 cats. I would highly recommend. She went above and beyond what we asked her to do. The kitties loved her and she loved them! I suggest getting the whole hour so she can play with your cats or dogs. My wife and I will definitely rebook her again next vacation. I can’t recommend enough!
I had an excellent experience and would absolutely book again. My pets are naturally cautious around new people, so I was incredibly impressed by the patience, care, and understanding she showed them. One of my cats is usually the more social of the two, but even he typically takes several visits before he’s comfortable interacting with someone new. To my surprise, he was already coming out and interacting with her by the second day, which is much faster than normal for him. My other cat is much more cautious and prefers to stay hidden. Even so, she took the time to learn his habits and was able to locate him on the first day, which reassured me that he was doing well and adjusting safely while I was away. I appreciated that she respected his boundaries and allowed him the space to be himself rather than trying to force interaction. She was very communicative throughout my trip and provided thoughtful updates that gave me a lot of peace of mind. It was clear that she took the time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs rather than treating the visits as simple check-ins. She also took wonderful care of my fish, Marley. It was great to see him comfortable enough to come out and interact with her as well. That attention to detail showed me that she genuinely cared about all of my pets. Most importantly, I felt completely comfortable knowing my pets were in her care while I was away. She treated them with kindness, patience, and respect, and I could tell they felt safe with her. I highly recommend her and will absolutely be booking with her again in the future.

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 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.
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 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.
