“Parris was absolutely amazing with Mason! She took such great care of him and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. Mason can be a little particular, and she handled everything perfectly, from his routine to all the little details that come with him. I could tell he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time. She was reliable, communicative, and just overall wonderful to work with. I would 100% trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and dependable sitter. Thank you again, Parris!”
“I love my cat more than anything. I feel very comforted in knowing that Kari is caring for my Peanut when I am away. I highly recommend Kari to care for your pet family too!”
“Mackenzie is wonderful! She took photos of my cats so I could see they were eating...not really an issue, but you know.... She also watered plants and brought in the mail...and during a rainstorm she checked for a leak (older home here) and then txted back and forth to sort out where to find a bucket to catch drips until I got home. I whole- heartedly recommend her.”
“Rebekah was very attentive to our fur-babies’ every need! Very caring, with lots of loving up! Along with Daily reports & pictures being sent to us! Totally put my mind at ease, knowing they were in Excellent hands, in our absence! We Highly Recommend Rebekah as your drop-in Pet/Home Caregiver ?”
“Hayley was amazing with Buddy, my high energy 4 month old pup! Buddy is my first puppy and I feel comfortable having Hayley look after him. She is very caring, organized, trustworthy and responsible. She genuinely cares about Buddy’s well-being and getting him the proper exercise he needs. I am so happy that I hired Hayley to do daily drop-ins. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for proper care for their fur baby.”
About: My husband and I have owned dogs and cats our whole lives and I have been taking care of other people’s pets since I was in high school and have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to provide dependable care and regular updates so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My husband and I are both approved rover pet care takers so one or both of us may be the one to help! I’m a stay at home mom with a husband who works remote so I’m very flexible! This allows me to provide consistent care, frequent potty breaks, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day. Your pet will receive plenty of supervision and companionship while in my care. We are always happy with last minute bookings, so feel free to reach out! Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow each pet's routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and any special instructions provided. I always keep pets supervised, ensure doors and gates are secure, and pay close attention during walks and outdoor time. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you're away.
About: I have worked with New Albany Pet Rescue for over four years. My family has four dogs, three of them rescued, so I have a lot of experience with untrained dogs. My dad is a professional dog trainer and I help his dogs out from time to time, so I have a lot of experience with meeting new dogs, all types of breeds! I am into fitness so I am able to walk dogs very far and run to tire them out if needed. I also have a crate in an isolated room for boarding. Since I am in my gap year before medical school, I am available 24/7! I will be able to take care of your dogs and walk them at least 4 times a day! I have a fenced in backyard, and a very walkable neighborhood with a lot of parks. I have four dogs at my home, all of them trained and friendly, but we also have separate rooms/crates to keep them separate from your dog if that’s more comfortable! We are a very active family so we like to take our dogs on walks at least four times a day, and your dog will be treated the same!
“Erin was fabulous and I will surely use her again. The cats were well taken care of and I enjoyed getting pictures of them daily. This is the first time I have left my girls for a prolonged period of time and knowing they were getting great care calmed my anxiety. Rover is a great service for pet owners and having people like Erin on staff gives credence to your organization! Kudos Erin and Rover!”
About: I have extensive experience taking care of dogs of all ages and sizes! Every summer I go to NYC and pet sit my family friends city dog while they are out vacationing! I love getting to know new pups and taking them out around town! I also love just sitting with them at home making sure they feel comfortable and happy! I’m currently to working part time so I have plenty of time to hang out with your pets and keep them company! I go on hikes/ parks almost everyday so I already have at least 3 miles of walking in my daily routine. ( if you have a senior pet or a smaller pet I will of course accommodate them) I have grown up with pets and know how important it is to make sure they have a routine and quality time with loving humans💗 I am always happy to take fur babies out for a day on the town or a walk in the park!
“Julie is wonderful. She’s great with our pup, communicative, and quick to respond. She was able to help us out very last minute. We’re appreciative of her help and care for our Lenny!”
“Deanna always does a great job with our dogs while we are away. We always try to see if Deanna is available first before checking for any other sitters. We have used her several times now and our dogs have always been well taken care of during her drop-in visits.”
About: I have always had a dog or some type of pet! They very much are like family. I currently have 3 cats on of which who has adhd and has to take meds every day. I do have the ability to run around in dogs to get their energy out! I have a pretty flexible schedule so I can move anything around, especially if it’s a walk for the morning! If it’s afternoon, if I know within a decent timeframe, I can always make other arrangements to be able to walk your four-legged family member! At this time I am not offering in home pet sitting. I will however ensure that all safety measures that the pet family has in place are applied. For walks I always make sure to stop walking if no side walk is available when a car passes.
“So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!”

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 Rootstown 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.

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 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.
