“Michelle has taken care of our dogs several times and she is amazing!!! They love her and we can enjoy ourselves knowing they are in excellent hands. She is an excellent communicator and thorough and consistently reliable - not to mention a fantastic photographer - when we are away we regularly receive photos of our happy pups. Can’t recommend Michelle enough! ❤️”
“Bri was beyond great caring for my dogs for a couple days! Was on time, communicated really well, took great updates (photos and notes) - will 100% rebook”
About: I've been dogsitting for friends for the past few years! I've loved dogs and would love to continue spending more time with them! Always eager to help people and make dogs feel loved! I work in ministry and have a flexible schedule. I'm not free all the time, but can be really flexible depending on the season! Always down to have a conversation to iron out details! I have only cared for pets in other people's homes. I follow whatever guidelines, instructions, or rules that pet owners give me. I want to make sure their pets are on their regular schedules and are loved!
“Maryann did a great job caring for out cat! She took plenty of photos, which was greatly apprecited. She is very detail orientated, thorough, and left us knowing our pet was in good hands. Will definitely reach out to her again in the future!”
“Jennifer took stellar care of our kitties while we were on vacation. Her updates were much appreciated! You can tell she really loves cats. We felt completely comfortable leaving our furbabies in her care and will definitely use her services in the future.”
About: I have been raising dogs with my family since middle school, starting with an Alaskan Malamute puppy that was only 30 days old when we first brought her home. I grew up alongside her and gradually took on full responsibility for her daily care. This experience helped me develop patience, attentiveness, a strong sense of responsibility, and a deep emotional bond with dogs. Now, after more than ten years of experience living with dogs, I treat every dog with the same care and affection as my own. Dogs tend to respond positively to me, and I genuinely enjoy building trust and companionship with them. Caring for dogs is not just something I do—it is something I am truly passionate about and committed to. At the moment, I primarily work remotely, and I spend most of my time with my wife. This allows me to have a flexible schedule and plenty of availability. I am able to provide pet care services at any time throughout the week, and I approach each task with full energy, attention, and genuine enthusiasm. I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust when caring for every pet. During walks and outdoor activities, I carefully monitor the surrounding environment, making sure the area is safe and watching for any harmful objects or food that could pose a risk to the pet. I also pay close attention to interactions with unfamiliar dogs and other animals, ensuring that the experience remains positive and stress-free. I carefully observe each pet’s behavior, energy level, and overall condition, including monitoring their bathroom habits as an indicator of their health. I adjust exercise intensity based on the pet’s needs and make sure they cool down properly after more active play or walks. After high-energy activities, I provide water gradually and safely rather than allowing them to drink too quickly. I also provide detailed grooming care, including gentle brushing and checking for ticks or other concerns. If necessary, I will carefully remove ticks and make sure the pet remains comfortable. Beyond basic care, I enjoy spending time with pets through play, affection, and companionship. I treat every dog with the same patience, attention, and love that I would give to my own pet.
About: I've grown up with family dogs and have been involved in their daily care for years. Through that experience, I've learned the importance of maintaining routines, providing regular exercise, feeding on schedule, and giving dogs the attention and companionship they need to feel comfortable and happy. I'm comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities and energy levels, and I treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, reliable, and stress-free experience for both pets and their owners, with regular updates and photos along the way! I'm currently working full-time, but I have availability on weeknights and weekends! I'm willing to work on holidays as well and am happy to accommodate the owner's needs. I always prioritize a pet's safety, comfort, and routine. In a client's home, I follow all care instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications (if needed), and any specific preferences the pet has. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while keeping their environment clean and secure. I also provide regular updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing.
“Kimberly watched my dogs over Memorial Day weekend - she was very responsive to messages and was very kind to water my plant while I was gone as well, and sent photos of the dogs when she went twice a day. We are hoping to use her again next time we go away!”
About: I’m a huge animal lover! I grew up with big dogs and I recently within the last few years adopted cats and fell completely in love. I have a strong connection to animals and good with their boundaries to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ve also been pet sitting since I was in high school. I’m a part time artist, (I paint pet portraits!) part time operational manager for another artist business which allows my schedule to be very flexible. I often have availability on a moments notice. I treat my cats like babies so you can expect me to do the same for your animals. If your pet needs me to sing them a little silly song while I make their dinner I will do it. I have a very calming presence animals tend to be drawn to. I respect their boundaries and allow them to feel safe with me before playing
“As usual, Kristine provided superb care for my two cats while we were away. She is communicative, caring, and goes above and beyond to ensure that my boys were calm, comfortable, and happy.”
“Stephanie was wonderful. Super communicative, thoughtful, and reliable. She sent regular updates, and my cats seemed very happy with her. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.”
“Liana was amazing! She sent really awesome pictures of my cat every day and I really feel like she spent time with him and played with him, which is so important especially with how much energy he has! I'm so grateful to her and will absolutely look for her for any and all pet sitting needs in the future!!”
“Briana made us feel very comfortable about having her look after our cats while we are out of the house. She is very reliable and friendly and I appreciate her updates and photos while we are gone!”
“Kaitlyn was amazing! She kept me updated and took excellent care of my puppy. This was my first time to use an online pet sitter. I was really anxious about leaving him. Kaitlyn took all of the worry out of the process. I would highly recommend her for your pets. If I’m back in Providence, I will definitely book with her again.”
“It was a pleasure to have Susan look after our cat, Mara, while we went on vacation. Upon meeting her, it was clear she really loves animals and wanted our pet to be calm and content while we were away. Susan's updates were prompt, detailed, and had lots of pictures. We came home to a very happy cat and would gladly book Susan again in the future!”
“Rebecca was reliable and so great with our dog. She communicated the details of her visit along with a photo. We will definitely use Rebecca again for our dog walking needs!”
“Alexa was a sweetheart!! We had to be somewhere for the day, and we called last minute, and luckily she obliged. She dropped as promised. I cannot say enough about Alexa. She is so responsible and helpful. We will definitely hire her again. Joge/Norma”
“Meira was wonderful with Deedles! Deedles doesn’t warm up to people very quickly, but within days she was flopping for scritches. Meira was great with sending detailed updates and pictures every visit. She was very responsive and left my place nice and clean. Thanks, Meira!”

Thank you so much, Maryann! I knew I would be in good hands - Maryann is so knowledgeable about cats and I felt safe leaving my cat in her care. My house is a bit complicated right now and she patiently dealt with some extra hassle. I would recommend her to a friend!
My kitties are always in good hands with Melissa! She goes above and beyond to ensure they are happy, entertained, and kept looking their best! It’s summer and Melissa made sure the coats for both my short and long haired cats were well maintained while we were gone for an extended amount of time.
Stephanie gives our boys the best care possible. I never have to worry about them while we’re away. They’re in the best hands. She’s adept at giving one of my boys his medicine twice a day. She plays with them and pets them and spends a good amount of time with them. She’s the best!
Delaney did an amazing job with our cats. They can a little timid with new people but they quickly warmed up to her. We have one that requires different medication at different times and she handled the schedule easily.. She even played with them for a bit and of course sent pics. The boxes were taken care of and asked questions if needed. We really appreciate all the time and care she showed them. We hope to work with her again. Thank you!

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 Rumford 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.

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.
