“Tiffany is awesome! She made friends with my Rottweiler instantly, I highly recommend her. She is alway quick with her responses, and is consistent with her responsibilities and schedule. It feels great knowing my dog is getting everything he needs when I’m gone.”
“Our Rover sitter was fantastic! Even though our cat is very shy and hid during every visit, she was incredibly patient, caring, and understanding. She made sure Mango had fresh food and water, gave him treats, and checked that everything was okay. We really appreciated the updates. It gave us peace of mind knowing someone was checking on our cat, even if Mango chose to stay hidden the entire time. We came home to a happy, healthy cat, and everything was just as we left it. We would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, compassionate pet sitter!”
About: I grew up with cats, fostered a border collie puppy in college and have experience training puppies and kittens. I currently have a senior cat and will hopefully be getting my own dog soon! I have experience with senior care for cats, giving medication, and grooming both cats and dogs. I have a bachelor’s degree, government background checks and am CPR, ACLS and BLS certified. I love long walks and cuddling up with animals! Your furry friend will be well loved and taken care of! I work part-time so I have a pretty flexible schedule. I am available on most weekends and am open to regularly scheduled visits. I should be available for most holidays due to the nature of my husband’s job. I am unable to board animals at this time due to having a cat at home. I am available for daily drop-ins for those of you working long hours or for when you’re on vacation. I love taking dogs for walks and playing fetch, tug of war, and giving snuggles! Cats definitely have a special place in my heart and I deeply understand their needs.
“Alexevys was wonderful with my dog! She was kind, caring, attentive. I really appreciated how responsible and loving she was throughout the time she cared for my dog. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend her.”
“We just love Vanessa. We were recently away for an extended period and she took great care of my babies. She even took the trash out and brought packages left on our porch inside the house. She consistently showed initiative and has proven that she is a hardworking and trustworthy individual. Thanks Vanessa and happy holidays!”
“Cecilia is the best! We’ve used her services 4 times now and she’s definitely our go-to. She’s a great communicator and always sends good pictures of everything she does. Definitely recommend Cecilia to anyone that needs reliable pet care”
“Samantha did a great job visiting my Moxie. She visited her and walked her. She did more than requested and Moxie was tired out from all the attention. Samantha sent a lot of pictures of the visit, which aloud me to see how much fun Moxie was having. I will be using her again!”
“Taylor provided excellent care to our two Dobermans. She was willing to come out early and meet our dogs and was very friendly. She arrived on time for a drop in visit and provided timely updates and many pictures of our dogs hanging out. We were very happy to use Taylor and will absolutely reach out to her again for future visits and stays during our travels.”
About: Hi! I’m a loving and dependable dog mom to two dogs of my own, and I truly believe pets are family. I’ve had experience caring for dogs of all different ages, personalities, and energy levels, and I understand that every dog has their own unique needs and routines. When your pup is in my care, their safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I give my own dogs! I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets with someone else. My goal is to give you that peace of mind by making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. It will always be a top priority to keep you updated so you never feel out of the loop. Your pets aren’t just another booking to me, they’re family, and I’ll care for them like they’re my own!🐶🤍 As a military spouse, I have a very flexible schedule and am fortunate to have plenty of availability for pet care. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, evening, and weekend walks and visits, and I can often be flexible with last-minute scheduling when needed. My open availability allows me to give your pets the time, attention, and care they deserve without feeling rushed🐾 I make sure my pets get plenty of exercise and attention! We go on frequent walks and visit the dog park every day since we don’t have a backyard. I love giving them treats, taking them on car rides, and making sure they’re happy, healthy, and loved.
“Bernice is super sweet and wonderful with my puppy Tucker. She is great with new ideas to help direct negative behaviors and reinforcing the positive! Tucker always looks forward to her visits.”

“Tia was amazing, my cats absolutely loved having her stop in and take care of them. She is quick to respond to messages. She spent time with my cats instead of a quick drop in litter box cleaning which I appreciate.”
“Kim was fantastic with our boys. She kept us updated everyday and sent great photos. We felt like our dogs were in great hands which gave us peace of mind. I would definitely recommend Kim to anyone.”
About: Hi, I’m Adrianna! I’m a dog mom to three dogs and regularly care for pets in my neighborhood. I know how reassuring it is to get a thoughtful update when someone is visiting your pet, so I’ll send photos and let you know how each visit went. I offer drop in visits for potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I’m also experienced with giving medications and will carefully follow the instructions you provide. I’m a full time online student, so my schedule is flexible throughout the week. I’m happy to learn your pet’s routine and arrange a meet and greet before their first visit! I’m a full time remote student so my availability is completely open during the week. During the weekends I do ask for a 1 day heads up! I have a huge fenced in backyard with 3 friendly dogs, your pet will be treated like family when they’re in my home. They will be allowed to roam freely unless you prefer crates, and will be loved on constantly, and always supervised.
About: I’ve always had a special place for animals! Growing up, my home was sanctuary to 3 dogs, a cat, sweet guinea pigs, and even on occasion a ladybug or butterfly (in order to prove my caregiving skills to my parents). From my days dog-walking and pet-sitting, I honed in my pet are skills during my time working for a pet store and boarding clinic called Lucky Pets. At Lucky Pets I was able to master my pet-sitting skills, absorb many different types of dog training methods, and learn about all sorts of pet products and pet needs. I’m currently a recent graduate and UCF ROTC commissionee of the U.S. Army, and I’m awaiting my orders this summer. I have a car, and I’m able to drive to your house to watch over your pet! I’m very comfortable hanging out with your pet in mine or your home, and I’m able to feed, walk, and play with any animal big or small!
About: I have experience with dog sitting for 10+ years. I will go out of my way to make sure they are healthy, safe, and loved under my care. I am detail oriented and committed to giving you complete peace of mind while your pet is under my care. I also have base access! I have 10 years of owning and training puppies basic commands while at home. I would love to help you out as well if needed. Basic commands consist of come, sit, stay, down, paw, roll over, spot, center, heel, and leave it. I am currently in school full time but online, so I can easily work around your schedule. Being a college student online gives me extreme flexibility through the week. I am so excited to meet your furbabies! I currently live in an apartment. I normally crate my puppy when I’m not home. I can do the same for you if needed. Anything that is needed I will be willing to do my best to accommodate to that.
“Laura was an amazing dog sitter. She’s great with my two large dogs who can be a handful! She did drop in visits while I was gone for a long weekend. She showed up every time on time, communicated very well with me, sent pictures, gave them their meds, and did every single thing she said she would do and exactly what I asked. I highly recommend Laura as a sitter. You can trust her word and that she will love and take great care of your animals.”

Krystal has been watching our fur baby since August, and we couldn’t be happier with her! She takes him out to play ball, spends quality time with him, and always makes sure he gets plenty of attention. She’s always on time and takes the best photos of him during her check-ins. We highly recommend Krystal for all your pet-sitting needs! 🐾❤️
Second time hiring Melody and she was available in a short period. Attentive, graceful, accommodating, and concerned with how my boys were cared for. Communicated often, informed me before making any decisions and was completely professional. Will absolutely hire again!

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.
