“Sierra takes such good care of my baby! Lulu loves seeing her come through the door and knows sierra will be taking her for a walkie! Sierra is the highlight of her day!”
“I highly recommend using Madeline for drop in visits! She did a wonderful job caring for our two Boxers. She was very communicative and right on time with her drop-ins. We can’t wait to use her again in the future!”
About: I grew up with many pets around me and have come to enjoy the company of those companions. Although, I cant own my own pet baby at the moment, I am more excited to give that love to the ones I watch! I have an open schedule on days that aren’t Tuesdays and Thursdays but I am willing to work around those times and provide the best care needed for your pet. I don’t have any pets in my home at the moment but I will make sure to show extreme care towards your pets from the beginning to the end of service.
“Lisa is a godsend! I have a cat with diabetes that requires shots twice a day which makes it difficult to leave town without having someone to administer the shots. My cat took to her right away and I was able to enjoy a weekend out of town knowing he was being taken care of!”
About: Hello! I’ve worked with pets of all ages, from young puppies to senior cats. As a cat mom myself, I know that pets are family, and how important it is for your pet to be with someone they can trust while you’re away. I have extensive experience providing attention and active engagement with all types of pets. I would love to care for your pets and provide them with a welcoming, trusting face while you're away. I work full-time, but have options to work from home if needed, and can use lunch breaks as a potty break for your furry friend. I love spending time with pets, providing them with enrichment, and a loving, interactive environment. I care for pets by providing them with proper attention and watching their behaviors to determine cues. I have extensive experience with both cats and dogs, providing them with a welcoming environment with someone they, and you, can trust.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for 10+ years, from cats to giant dogs. I have two dogs of my own, and have had cats in the past, so I understand the individual needs of each animal. Senior dogs have a special place in my heart. I’m currently working part time, 3 days a week! My schedule changes week to week, but I am open and flexible to changing my schedule! I can easily crate or move your dogs if I need to! I am eager to earn their trust and am willing to bribe them with treats. I understand each pet has different needs and I am adaptable to them!
“Jessica was so wonderful to work with! She came through for us on a last minute booking after a cancellation and was willing to make her schedule work for us. She’s communicative and you can tell how much she really loves animals. I will definitely be booking Jessica again!”
About: I have traveled across the US as a horse groom, have 4 years experience with dogs and have worked at multiple board/train facilities. I ride western pleasure and currently working with my trainer to start foals. I grew up with beagles and currently have a pit bull and shepard mix at home! I mostly work in the morning at starbucks and have a lot of free time mid day. My riding is normally at night because of how my trainer has times set up I would prefer having the pets at the owners house. I have noticed a lot of pets dealing with anxious tendencies while at a board facility with other dogs.
“Absolutely wonderful! Highly recommend. Didn’t have once concern while on our trip. Marie was a pleasure, kept me updated and sent pictures everyday of our fur babies. Very very happy! Will use again!”
“Candy took great care of our two elderly pups while we were on vacation. She was reliable, on time, gave updates regularly, and had great communication. Couldn’t have asked for a better sitter for our pups. My pups need some extra care in their senior years and Candy handled everything from medication to doggy diapers. I will definitely be booking with her again. Highly recommend!”
“Deborah was great! When she first came to meet my dogs she got right down on the floor with them! I loved that! She had great communication and even sent pictures. I have birds and Deborah didn’t even hesitate to say she would take care of them too! She was amazing. I would definitely recommend her and use her again in the future!!!”
About: I grew up with dogs in my home since I was a toddler. I have watched/washed/walked animals all my life for family and friends my whole life. I am a working mom to an 11 year old and a 5 year old! I have plenty of time in my schedule for taking care of animals. I can easily take the dogs for a walk to let them go potty along with getting some fresh air. I can give meds to animals whenever needed. I do work an odd schedule of 6am to 8:30am, the go back in again from 1:30pm until 6pm. I do go home for a 5 hour lunch, and during that time I can take care of animals! My husband comes home at 4pm so he will be there if needed for boarding! I am reliable with transportation! I do not have a fenced in yard but will happily take animals out for a walk every few hours! I work Monday through Friday from 6am to 8:30pm, the have a lunch until 1:30pm, and get off again by 6pm! During the 5 hour lunch I can take animals outside to go potty or hang out with them for bit! I have children and a husband that will spoil animals until they need to go home! We as a family treat each animal as if they are our own!
About: I I have experience pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors, caring for dogs and cats of different breeds and temperaments. My responsibilities have included daily walks, feeding, cleaning litter boxes, giving medications, and providing companionship. I understand how important routine and reassurance are when owners are away. I currently work from home. So my schedule is pretty flexible! Plenty of times to go on walks and playtime! With advanced notice I am very accommodating to meet your needs. I provide loving, reliable care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. My top priorities are safety, trust, and maintaining a calm, comfortable environment. I always follow each pet’s routine closely — including feeding schedules, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and any special instructions — to help them feel secure and stress-free.
About: We have love and snuggles to offer your fur baby while you are away. We have a large fenced in yard, with plenty of room for zoomies. A large couch for all the snuggles. Young, old, big, small, we love them all. We are foster parents for tiny humans. Amanda works out of the home, but Rae is a stay at home mama and is almost always available for pick up/drop off, potty breaks, check ins, daycare, etc. Your fur babies will enjoy the quiet house during the day and love and attention in the evening and weekends when the kids are home. We have two orange tabby's who run and hide or are all up in your business. Cats have their own agenda! We currently have two daycare dogs that come during the day. Brooks is a sharpa lab mix, he gets really excited and the sharpa nose comes out. He calms down within 5-10 minutes and then is an old man on the couch. Penny is a black lab and is super chill. Both dogs have always done great with any other dogs and cats that come into the home. My 14 year old daughter wants to be a Vet someday, so she enjoys making new fur friends. We also have a 4 year old girl who is very gentle with her fur friends, and a couple other littles that enjoy a kiss every now and then. We have a fenced in yard, large, and lots of room for the zoomies. We have 2 cats in the home. Let us know your fur babies needs, and we will make sure we are the right fit for them.
“Brittney was awesome again! This is the second time we have had her take care of our cats while on vacation. She makes sure on each visit to clean boxes, refill food/water bowls and give one of them medication. Brittney is very dependable and I would highly recommend her for your pets.”
About: I have worked around my neighborhood growing up taking care of dogs. I love going on box and love to be accompanied by a dog on those walks. If you have any questions, feel free to ask:) I’m currently working full time from 7:20-3:20, but can go into work from any time from 7am to 9am. So I am very flexible for you and your fur baby! If you need me to take care of them mid day I do have a one hour lunch break as well. I work 5 days a week for 8 hours. Weekends I can be free! My kitty is always taken care of, cleaned, litter box is cleaned daily, new water refilled daily, and exercised daily. I can adjust based on you and your pets routine. I do not do home visits in case your animal does not do well with cats!
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rumsey
Jason is great! He dropped in to meet the new pup and spend time with our family. He’s punctual, he asks questions about how the new pup is getting along and how the pack is integrating, and he enjoys spending time with our fur babies. Thank you, Jason! We appreciate you being a part of our family and spending time with us.
Allisyn has been an amazing and consistent dog sitter for us! She always goes above and beyond, and we feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is in such good hands with her. It’s obvious how much she genuinely cares for our dog, and we truly feel like she loves her as much as we do. We couldn’t recommend Allisyn enough! We are so thankful for her!
Farrin is so caring of all animal’s needs! She was able to take care of our two cats when we thought we would have to board them during our summer trip. Luckily, she took great care of Misty and Demitri and provided them with everything they needed. She sent tons of pictures and updates, ensuring we knew our little ones were doing great while we were away. Thanks again, Farrin!!
Megan is WONDERFUL with Hank. I can tell she really loves to see him and is very communicative and flexible with care! I’ve asked her to use certain equipment, give meds, and a few other things and she’s always done what I’ve asked. Terrific human and dog person! 10/10 would recommend and will be!

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 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 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 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.
