“We're repeat clients. Kristin does a great job with our cats, very respectful, friendly, and helpful. She was on time daily and provided thoughtful pics and feedback after each visit. Great service, thanks so much! 🙂”
“Always a PLEASURE with Mikayla!! Sh is very KNOWLEDGEABLE with our pets! She helps me with handling the dogs and EXTRA ABOVE and BEYOND tasks. I will continue to tip Mikayla for ALL she does…it’s my PLEASURE! See ya 👋🏾 Tuesday Mikayla!”
“Allyson is great with our pups, super reliable, and has a lot of experience with animals, which gave us a lot of confidence leaving our senior dogs with her! Will definitely be using her again!”
“Jennifer has been helping my family with our new puppy for 2 weeks now by coming and giving him a daily potty/lunch/play break while we are at work and school. She goes above and beyond for our pup and even gives some love to our older dog while she’s here. We love getting the daily updates and pictures she sends. Jennifer is kind, responsible, responsive, and reliable.”
“Ella dropped by the house to cat sit Mitchell for 8 days - I had a whole checklist of all the things that need to be done for my baby while we were away - and she did all of ‘em + more (cuddles and love)!!! I always feel at peace when booking Ella to look after Mitchell because she does so well with him. Ella’s trustworthy and gets the job done, no doubt. I definitely recommend her & will for sure book again when the need arises. Thanks Ella!!! Mitchell thanks you too, you’re considered one of his best friends 💜”
“Tasha did drop-in visits for my elderly dog Brewster and was excellent. Senior dogs need patience and attention to the little things, and she never missed a beat, stuck to his routine, was gentle with him, and kept me updated every visit. Brewster was relaxed and happy, and I never had to wonder how he was doing. If you have an older dog, Tasha is the one. Highly recommend.”
“I am so lucky to have found Laila. We just moved here and I was so nervous about hiring a new sitter. She messaged me when she was on her way, sent me pictures, and spent so much time with them. I already booked her again!”
“Very engaged and personable, Lydia was great in setting up for success with pre-visit and key handoff. Took excellent care of two elder cats with feeding, litter cleaning and opportunity for socializing. My cats always hide from new people and don’t warm up easily. Both came out to see and watch, so Lydia has a special good vibe. Provided images and messages for each visit. Have already re-booked Lydia to provide care again. Highly recommend!”
“Another great experience with Stephanie! Timely, competent and dedicated to care of my two cats! Appreciate the peace of mind that I have when my kits are in Stephanie’s care.”
“Harry did an excellent job in taking care of our babies We appreciated the daily updates as Mom was worried. We will definitely use him again. Thanks for the care and service.”

“Karyna took great care of my cat Wilson. Last minute holiday plans came up and she went above and beyond to ensure Willie was comfortable. Thank you so much, I’m so appreciative.”
About: I think I’m kind I don’t like to see animals in their kennels. I like them to be able to play and sleep wherever they want in my home. i’m currently thinking about opening up Dog care business and I want more experience. I love being with my dog. So I’d love to help people out with their dogs on the weekends. I know it’s hard for people to find good loving caring people. I have a fenced yard. I treat the dog with love like they’re my children! I will let them in my home, roaming free! And lots of affection
“Josephine went above and beyond for us looking after our two cats while we were away during the holidays. She was always super communicative and provided updates for us on how they were doing each day. I would 100% recommend her for any pet sitting and will definitely be using her to watch after our cats again!”
About: I have had the pleasure of taking care of and being around pets my entire life! Since I was a child, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, birds, and fishes as well as other large animals! Over the years many friends, family members and neighbors have relied on me to care for their pets. I have over 6 years of experience with all dog breeds.

I currently have a pretty open schedule with my online classes, so I am home most of the time, dogs have access to the backyard at almost all times and are always being watched and monitored for safety. Dogs are taken on walks to nearby parks and around the neighborhood and rides around to the dog park. dogs are fed separately and are fed on a schedule and always have access to lots of fresh water. I have a fenced yard and a pool in the back yard. I am able to crate your dog if needed or per your preference. My lab is always ready to play or nap with your pup and will always keep them company!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Russell
This is second time that we booked our baby Tucker with Allyson. She took wonderful care of baby for 7 days. They followed our exact feeding and daily routine. We got daily photo updates, and our dog came home happy and calm. She even bought additional bag of his food when the feed is running out. She is very thoughtful that I don’t have to rush to the store after I am back. I am very grateful to have her as our dog sitter. We would rebook anytime!"
Kristin was very communicative with updates on our cats. She was very sweet and took care of them very well. One of our cats who is a senior and is shy took to liking her very much. Also very prompt, on time with each visits, and great with the taking care of each individual cat's needs. As a first time user on rover, she was a gem.
Rocelyn is great! From the first dog meet, I knew she truly is a dog person - my dogs were at ease and was attentive in getting to know the dogs. She looked after my 3 dogs for a few days and was able to give all a walk on a last minute ask! She shared wonderful pics so I knew they were cared for. I would highly recommend.

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.
