“Courtney has been amazing! We got stuck out of the country, and she stepped up to help make sure my 3 cats were taken care of. She even made extra visits when my elderly ill cat had accidents. Thank you for making sure my cats were safe and cared for when I couldn’t be there!”
“I was very pleased with Keri's care for our two cats. I appreciated that she took notes during our meet and greet about what we wanted and while we were gone she did everything that we requested, including refilling our backyard bird feeder. She sent notes and pictures that documented what she did and how our cats were doing.”
“Paige took exceptional care of our cats during an extended vacation. She visited our house twice a day and cleaned up after them. She also played with our frisky cat and gave special attention to our shy cat. We felt 100% confident n choosing Paige as our caretaker and will use her again AND recommend her highly to others seeking pet care. A+!”
“Lucy is not only an exceptional caretaker but knowledgeable, reliable, efficient and devoted. She is available to work around my schedule on short notice. She demonstrates enormous love and compassion for all animals.”
“Amanda was so incredible checking in on our girl. She gave great info every time she went over and made us feel so comfortable while we were away. She even helped try and reset our WiFi when it went down for us. She is super nice and we’ve already rebooked her to watch our girl on an upcoming trip!”
“Brian was great with Tucker all the way from the meet and greet through the two check ins. He made our anxious dog feel comfortable and his communication is great and proactive. We highly recommend Brian and will be booking him for weekly services going forward!”
“Trederica was wonderful! Kept me updated with pictures every visit & accommodated all my needs when it came to my fur baby, would absolutely book her again.”
“I was kept updated & received pictures of my senior girl when while we were away for 12 hours. She was happy & content. Becky & Christian are great to deal with!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life and have experience with all kinds of personalities, including anxious, reactive, and “misbehaved” dogs. I know how to stay calm in stressful situations and understand that patience and consistency are important, especially with dogs that have trauma or anxiety. I’m not afraid of big dogs or dogs that pull, and I know how to safely handle and walk strong pullers. I’m very attentive to body language and behavior, and I always make sure dogs feel comfortable, safe, and respected. I’m reliable, patient, and comfortable following specific routines, feeding schedules, and care instructions to make sure every dog gets the attention and care they need. I’m very lenient with my time and have a pretty flexible schedule, so I can easily squeeze in a walk or babysitting whenever needed. I’m very good at giving animals the space they need while still supervising them carefully, and I’m also great at maintaining routines to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll also follow any rules or instructions necessary for each specific animal to make sure they receive the best care possible.
“Hi Shannon was great! She came to meet the dogs ahead of time and review our requests. Shannon was comfortable with them, and they could tell she was a friend. Shannon sent pictures, which was a nice touch. We will request Shannon again without hesitation.”
About: Hi! My name is Emily! I’m 21 and have been dog sitting/walking on and off for about 6 years. I’ve always had a deep love for all animals. I’m well versed on animal behavior, and know how to read dog’s emotional cues very well. I love to get out and be active so why not do it with a little friend by my side! I would love to spend time with your pet no matter the size, breed, or age:) I’m currently available all day Monday, all day Tuesday, Wednesdays after 3pm, Thursdays until 5pm, all day Friday, and Sunday after 3pm! I also have my own dog at home who needs to be taken care of and I work part time! If i’m chosen to take care of your pet while you are away, I will ensure they get lots of love and attention. Every rule I am given will be followed to a T.
“Thank you for taking such great care of my cats and fish again. Excellent communication, went above and beyond to ensure everyone had what they needed, and thankful for pictures of happy kitties every day”
About: I have over eleven years of personal experience caring for my own dog, and I truly understand how important it is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m patient, dependable, and attentive to each pet’s individual routine, exercise needs, and personality. I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I give my own, and during every visit or walk, I’ll send photo updates so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well looked after. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week. I keep my calendar updated and do my best to accommodate both regular bookings and occasional requests. Please contact me to discuss the time that works best for you and your pet. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I carefully follow all feeding, walking, and care instructions, make sure doors and gates are securely closed, and keep dogs safely leashed during walks. I respect every client’s home and will provide photos and detailed updates after each visit, so you always know how your pet is doing.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Rydal
Allie was amazing with our 9 year old dog!!! We always get a little nervous having a new sitter watch our 95 lbs American bulldog mix since he can be a handful at times, but once they met we knew he’d be in good hands. Allie was communicative, gave lots of photos and updates, and followed our instructions with ease!! Will definitely be reaching out again for future visits :)
Tiffany’s very caring. I’m handicapped with a spinal cord injury. I needed someone’s help to take care of my puppy, and take him on walks. She helped to make sure, my puppy had clean puppy pads/water/food/attention. She was such a wonderful person to work with. Absolutely!!👍🏻 I recommend Tiffany to everyone!!! You won’t be disappointed at all. Thank you, again for everything 🙏🏻♾️ Rating: 6 STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Amanda is so great with animals. We have an extremely anxious cat that most other sitters never see, but came out for pets with her! Had she not taken pictures of the event, we probably wouldn't have believed it happened. She's responsible and accountable and we will definitely book Amanda again in the future.
Hadiya is wonderful! It's difficult to find someone you can trust with your fur babies and your home. As soon as we met Hadiya, we knew she was the right person. We have two shy kittens (other cat sitters had taken care of them for weeks at a time and never even saw them). But they warmed up to Hadiya almost instantly! We couldn't believe it. Hadiya is detailed oriented, reliable, thorough, and so sweet with our cats. She took the time to build their trust AND got all the care tasks done too. We can't recommend her enough.
Lia was wonderful!! I’ve never used Rover before and I’m grateful she made it an awesome first experience. She initiated a meet and greet before our trip which made it super easy to get her a key and show her through everything she needed to know to watch after the cats. While we were away, she proactively sent lots of pictures and updates which I loved. She also quickly responded to any questions or requests I had. On top of taking great care of the cats, she even watered our plant. I could tell through the pictures just how comfortable the cats were with her which gave me peace of mind while being away. Overall, 10/10 and we are so glad we had Lia looking after Pepper and Periwinkle!!
Sarafina did a great job caring for my cat, Lawrence! He just needed daily drop-in visits and she sent lots of photos. She stopped by beforehand to make sure she knew exactly what he needed and was friendly and knowledgeable! She did an excellent job with my instructions and gave him plenty of playtime while she stopped in. I highly recommend Sarafina for any of your pets needs!

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.
