“So grateful I found Beth! Even on short notice, she suggested a Meet & Greet to make sure she understood all instructions, where items were placed, etc. for my cats' drop-in visits. Sent Rover Cards with updates and pictures. Even my cat who is timid of new people came out from hiding during the visits. Will definitely book again!”
“Cindy did a great job taking care of my cat Noodle while I was out of town! He has some health issues so I was nervous about being away, but she kept me updated on his litter box and made sure he had his food, water, and medication each day.”
“Vanessa was fantastic at taking care of my two cats over a period of 10 days. She was very punctual, communicative and attentive, I will for sure trust her with my kitties in a future outing. Thanks Vanessa!”
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“Keaira was so professional in making me feel at ease with our first drop in visit; she kept me up to date with the entire visit and my dog had a blast.”
About: I have grown up with dogs and cats my whole life. I recently moved to Ohio and really miss having dogs. I would love to care and play with them whenever I have free time. I love all kinds of animals and i'm very gentle with them. I have a huge heart for dogs and cats. I enjoyed walking and playing with my dogs growing up. I have worked with dogs that have high anxiety so I know how to calm them down in stressful situations. I also take their safety every serious and would care for them like my own pets. I can not wait to care for your dogs/cats and create special relationships with them for the future. I can help with your pets Monday-Friday 10am-6pm. Walks, feedings, and cuddles! I am more than happy to stay over night when needed. I'm also very flexible when it comes to my schedule. I have 2 fur babies (cats) that I love like my own children! Willy and Boots! Giving animals loves of love is something i'm an expert at!
“Alda was wonderful! She checked in on our animals and updated us thoroughly as to how things were going. She was very communicative throughout the whole process and it was a huge relief to know our cats were so well taken care of.”
“Rebecca is WONDERFUL! She took care of our two cats while we were traveling recently and she really put our minds at ease. She stopped by to meet the cats before our trip so I could go through all the things with her. I highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future. Thank you, Rebecca!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rome
Very happy with my first experience with Rover and having Beth take care of my babies! She is very reliable and followed all the instructions I left. Every day she arrived when promised and spent a good hour with my pets. I was provided reports and pictures to give me great peace of mind. Her communication was thorough and always really fast. I would definitely be happy booking her again in the future!
Jen watched my two senior dogs and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Marley can be slow to warm up to new people, but Jen was so patient and let her get comfortable at her own pace. She also took great care of Maisy and made sure both girls were happy and well cared for while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind, and I wouldn’t hesitate to book with Jen again. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone kind, patient, and dependable.
We couldn't be happier that Audrey took care of Gary and Zoya during our 8-day vacation. Especially our girl Zoya, who's always scared of having other people in the house. Audrey won her trust with love and patience, and the photos she sent spoke volumes! Seeing Zoya so comfortable around her gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. Recommended!! Will book again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Rome is $17 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $11 and $28 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of November 2026, there are 2,599 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Rome. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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 with handling special pet needs in Rome. On Rover:
- 90% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the 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.
