“Sam was amazing in caring for our two skittish kitties while we were away. She is extremely friendly and communicative and was very gentle with their skittishness which we appreciated! We look forward to booking her again in the near future! Simply put, if you can’t care for your animals yourself, she is the next best thing!”
“As first time pup parents, we were so worried in leaving our 13 week old puppy by himself since we work the whole day so we decided to take our chance on Rover. We found Sweta as we’re scrolling through so many different dog sitters. We’re so happy that we chose her to take care of our puppy during the day. We’ve been rebooking with her almost everyday. She is very responsive and we appreciate that she got to know our puppy during the first visit. Our puppy loves seeing Sweta. We don’t have to worry during work hours if our puppy is okay since we know Sweta will take care of him. If you’re looking for a dog sitter who will take great care of your furry friend, we highly recommend Sweta!”
“Andrea is friendly and personable and my kitties quickly warmed up to her, even the skittish one! These 5-month-old felines are way too smart and Cyrus is on 3 separate medications. He adapts sometimes so the routine can require modification. Andrea was clever and resourceful to ensure he got the doses required even as Toes was trying to get the treats used for pilling Cyrus. She has a sense of humor and feels like a dear friend even though we have only met briefly a couple of times. I haven’t felt as comfortable leaving my pets before and this wonderful woman is also someone I would want as a friend. No hesitation recommending Andrea!”
“I always worry about finding a new sitter for my spicy cat, but Ian was understanding and patient! Great communication and reliable. He will be my go to sitter whenever I’m out of town!”
“Olena took care of my kitties during two very busy weekends. I came home both weekends to kitties who were relaxed and happy. It is so nice that my kitties have a relationship with her now and they come out to visit with her when she is here.”
“It was our first time using Rover and couldn’t have been happier with Jhonathan! He was extremely easy to contact and super patient with all our questions. He treated our cats like they were his own and when we needed to extend the services an extra 5 days, he didn’t hesitate to accept the new contract time. Being new to VA, it’s such a relief to have someone in the area we can trust to watch our cats while we’re away. Will absolutely use him again the next time we are out of town!”
About: Since childhood I've had a pet, a deep love and connection for all types .. The loyalty and trust you get from them are priceless I am home Full time all week, so will have all time to care for your pet with any need possible.. I don't have any pets myself so that's a bonus because your pet in my care will have 100% of my attention. I live in a house it is Unfenced but very capable of walking Etc , anything outdoors if need be .. I live in a neighborhood with neighbors who also all have pets.
“Tara brought Connor and Sterling out of their shells very quickly. They are normally quite shy around new people, but they took to her at once. I had special dental needs for them both and she made sure they were attended to. It's always good to come back to happy, well-fed cats, and that is exactly what Tara made happen.”
About: I've had dogs throughout my life growing up and have loved every minute of it! I grew up around big dogs but have cared for a variety of dog sizes and breeds. I don’t have a pet, so I'm hoping to create some strong and consistent relationships potentially with your pet. You get the quality care needed for your four-legged family member and I get some much-needed dog time! I'm currently a grad student and ideally would like to get into a regular routine between classes. I'm hoping to find some pet care opportunities a couple of times a week in the mornings/evenings and on the weekends. Ideally, I would prefer to take care of your pet where they are most comfortable, especially in their own home. In my experience I have found the dogs I care for to be less anxious when they are somewhere they are familiar with. My apartment is on the small side, so ideally I would only accept well trained, calm, smaller dogs. Before taking care of your fur baby, I prefer to discuss their care needs so that you and I feel confident about the match. I genuinely love and respect dogs and want you to feel trust in me during your time away from them.
“This was my first experience using Rover and was very pleased. Jennifer was great! Ramsey bonded with her from the moment they met. Jennifer communicated during the whole stay with reports and pictures, She took exceptional care of Ramsey and was very professional. I was very pleased with the whole experience and will use her service again.”
“Jackie is awesome! She is extremely caring and was very responsive. Our dog is very shy and anxious, but Jackie instantly earned her trust. 10/10 would recommend Jackie!”
“Molly is amazing! My very shy cat who is terrified of strangers interacted with her while I was away, which made me feel so happy that she got to actually have some interaction instead of being completely alone all the time! Molly followed all instructions and was consistent with the timings of when she came over. She is awesome and I’m so thankful to have found her!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rose Hill
I cannot recommend Hannah enough!! She went above and beyond for our pups! It was our first time having her watch the dogs and we will definitely be using her again. She made sure they were comfortable each visit and gave us plenty of pictures to see how they were doing. She gave detailed updates and even stayed longer to give them some extra loving. You will have peace of mind when she is watching your pets!!
If you need a catsitter, make sure it's Jackie! She came highly recommended by another repeat client whom I know personally. I get anxious leaving my "velcro kitty" alone, but from the moment I met Jackie I knew my girl was in good hands. Jackie sent thoughtful updates with the sweetest photos. She went above and beyond in caring for my cat, and we're incredibly grateful! But don't just take my word, trust my cat's review. She crawled into Jackie's lap during her very first visit and parked there for each subsequent visit!
Sweta saved us last minute by spending time with Sunny while we were in Alexandria. Sunny needs companionship and doesn't like to be alone, and Sweta spent time with him, gave him a walk and kept us updated. She's very responsive and helpful. Sunny seemed happy and we will definitely book with Sweta again. Thank you!
When I had to add a day of travel unexpectedly, Julie was extremely flexible and made sure that my Layla still got the care she needed! It helps that Layla just LOVES getting pets and playing with Julie— I am so grateful for her and will continue to use her as often as I can!
Natalie was outstanding in her visits of my two cats. She is very reliable and efficient and really cares about the work she does. She went over and above what I asked her to do and was so attentive to them and kept me so well informed everyday at every visit with videos and pictures and details. I would hire her again and again and 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 .
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.
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.
