“Alex did an amazing job with my two cats! She sent thoughtful daily updates with lots of photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept the litter box clean, made sure they always had fresh food and water, and clearly took great care of them. I came home to happy, well cared for cats and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”

“Melody was super sweet with my senior dog Beau. Melody is easy to communicate with and was very responsive to booking requests and messaging of background information to make sure that we were the right fit. She obviously loves animals and she took great care of not only my pup but my home during an extended drop-in visit. I will definitely re-book care for Beau with Melody again in the future.”

About: What sets me apart is my patience, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and other small pets, and I adapt to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Whether it’s energetic puppies or senior pets that need a gentler pace, I make sure every animal feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for drop-ins, walks, and sitting, and I make sure every pet gets the attention, care, and consistency they need. I plan my day around scheduled visits so I’m never rushing through their time. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I follow their normal routine, keep their space clean and safe, and pay attention to their behavior and needs. I’m also big on communication, so you’ll always know how your pet is doing while you’re away.

About: Animals are my favorite thing in the world! Growing up we always had pets and I currently have 5 of my own. Professionally I have worked with a range of breeds from Rottweilers to chihuahuas. I understand the worries of most pet parents when choosing a sitter or walker. Safety and comfort are my top priority and I promise to take care of your pups as if they're my own. Look forward to meeting your pet soon! I currently work a job with flexible hours and am often left with free time. The only set schedule I have is for my online classes at Tuesdays and Thursdays from 9:30 am to 12 pm. But I can attend from anywhere as long as I have WiFi. I’ll keep your pup company in your home and provide play and potty breaks regularly. If you have a preference for anything just let me know and I’ll follow your instructions to make it as comfortable for you and your pet. I also promise to update you regularly with pictures and videos if you’d like! For boarding I have a fenced in yard and backyard cameras so I’m always able to monitor your fur baby. But I promise never to leave your pup unattended as they do their business. I also have 2 fur babies of my own so they’ll never be lonely. My pup Maisie just turned a year old and loves having furry friends to play with! While my Tilly is older and tends to keep to herself to snooze all day.

About: Over the years I have cared for a variety of animals, including domestic, exotic, and livestock. Friends and family have trusted me to care for their medically needy animals over the past decade and I am now opening that service up to Rover. I'm not a vet tech but I am comfortable and experienced administering a variety of medical treatments like insulin injections, pill regiments, eye drops/skin ointments, and subq fluids. Leaving town with a pet can be stressful, especially one that needs specialized care. I can help. Currently over all I have quite a bit of flexibility with my schedule. I have my own small business that is sporadic gig work on the weekends. Most events last 4 to 6 hours, maximum 8 hours, and not every weekend has events. I prefer to pet sit in the home the pets belong to. I find that with most animals it's incredibly stressful to move them, staying in their home with them minimalizes that stress. It also allows for easier medicine administration. I like to meet the pets and owners ahead of staying with them, this is to again reduce the stress on your pet when I show up without you as well as to observe the quality of care you are administering to your fur babies.

About: I’ve lived in Fort Lauderdale for over 5 years and finally have a home of my own and for my dog. I work from home and usually have plenty of time during the day for potty breaks, walks, and play time. I’m also looking to meet dog friends for Freja and friends for me. I have grown up with dogs, cats, birds and fish my entire life. Not only am I here to take care of your pets but to make your life easier. I'm looking to make a little bit of money but also trying to branch out of my routine and meet my neighbors. I am happy to talk to you more about my skills and what you're looking for if you think I could be a match for your needs. I work from home and am fairly flexible. I can do drop ins or stick around during the day if you have wifi I can use. I live in an apartment complex with two dog parks and can take your pets there or on walks around the neighborhood. Whatever works best for you and your pet.

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.
