“Colleen was absolutely amazing! Not only did she take fantastic care of our pets—who absolutely adored her—but she also handled every curveball we threw her way with ease. The weather was completely uncooperative, but she adapted to every change in plans without hesitation. Her reliability, communication, and flexibility gave us so much peace of mind. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and highly recommend her to anyone needing top-notch pet care. Thank you, Colleen!”
“Jarrod was kind and professional. He was easy to get in contact with and easy to work with. He went above and beyond for my dog. I would definitely rebook with him.”
About: I have decades of experience caring for my own personal pets as well as those of family, friends, and coworkers. My pets are part of my family and I know yours are too. I would love to meet your babies and help you care for them while you have to be away. Because I work remotely, I have built-in flexibility during the day. Besides the Jacuzzi occasional errand or appointment I will be home with your pet. When caring for your babies, I follow the routine you set as closely as possible. I make sure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, get appropriate walks or playtime, and receive plenty of calm attention. I provide updates and photos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
“Abby did a great job taking care of our elderly dog while we were away. She gave us important updates and stayed in communication with any questions she had about his care. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worry knowing Sam was in great hands! Would definitely recommend and use Abby again!”
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a child and have spent 15 years caring for animals of every size and species, including dogs, cats, and small farm animals. I currently share my home with an 8 year old dog and a 4 year old cat, so I’m well-versed in multi-pet households and the different needs each animal brings. I understand that every pet owner has their own way of doing things, and I follow specific instructions and routines to a T, no matter how particular they are. I’m attentive to individual pace, whether that’s a senior pet who needs things slower or a puppy who needs more supervision, and I treat every animal in my care like family. I currently work from home and only show availability on weekends however, I am able to fit in during the weekdays often especially if someone is close by. Just reach out! When I’m in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same care and respect I’d want for my own. I always follow the specific instructions given by the pet owner, including feeding times, medication, routines, and any behavioral quirks their pet may have. I pay close attention to gates, doors, and leashes to make sure everything stays secure, and I stay alert to each pet’s body language and comfort level throughout our time together. I leave the home exactly as I found it, so owners can trust their space and their pet were both well cared for.
“Bethany is an amazing dogsitter! She’s always on time, follows instructions, and sends prompt updates. We know our dogs are in good hands with her which makes our trips stress free!! She’s the best!”
About: Dogs have a special place in my heart for their fierce loyalty and unique personalities. I grew up in household where our dogs were family, my mom jokingly referred to them as my siblings. I have a spacious fenced in back yard and also conveniently located near Sharon Johnson Park so rest assured that your sweet furry baby will have plenty of fun with me. My work hours are 6-12pm Monday through Friday, aside from that I have full availability for house calls and boarding. Very flexible and can accommodate most schedules. I have a fenced in back yard, located right beside a beautiful park. I also have experience administering medication, creams, dog baths, brushing and more. I will work with your animal by first gaining their trust and then working on our bond through play time.
“Kristen was great and such a life saver! Was able to schedule her for a last minute drop in. She has great communication skills and I appreciate her willingness to still go to apartment after trying to find it for 30 minutes. Would definitely use again”
About: I have years of experience caring for pets of all ages, offering patient handling, reliable routines, and a calm presence. I’m attentive to each pet’s needs and committed to creating a safe, loving environme I work full time on the arsenal. I also work part time but mostly use rover as my part time. I can work around each client schedules and will make the time to care for your pets I don’t care for pets in my home because I have a reactive yorkie. But in my clients home I take care of them well and make them feel like their owner isn’t even gone
“Cassandra was awesome dropping in for home visits with our two big and energetic dogs for a long weekend. We always have a little anxiety leaving them at home for more than a day, but Cassandra took such good care of them and kept us updated with pictures during each visit. We really appreciated the constant communication and will definitely choose Cassandra to take care of our dogs in the future.”
“Bobby did a fantastic job dropping in to take care of our two German Shepherds. We used him for 3 days total and he dropped in as requested. He came an extra time just to make sure they were well taken care of and were able to use the bathroom. We will be using Bobby going forward for all our needs as long as he is available and will have us. When he came to drop off the garage door opener, the two of them went sprinting for him. They were barking in a high playful pitch because they loved him so much. Highly recommend!!!”
About: I have a true genuine passion for pet sitting. I have always loved and never bored with wanting to care for others pets. I understand that each pet is a part of a family and should be treated as such. I have a few years of experience working in a pet hospital and many references, many including coworkers that understand I would love their pets as if they were my own. I have a full time 8-5 job however, my job is flexible with me taking longer lunch breaks if your pet requires frequent potty breaks and the distance is not far. I will also check on them before and after in addition to overnight if needed. N/A, I don't pet sit at my own place because I rent and they charge extra for that as well as I believe most pets feel comfortable in the safety of their own home.
“Anthony was absolutely amazing taking care of our senior Golden Retriever! He went above and beyond to make sure our sweet boy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. He took him on walks, gave him extra attention, and truly treated him like his own. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such caring and capable hands. Anthony was thoughtful, dependable, and genuinely wonderful with our dog. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for him! We are so grateful for everything Anthony did and will absolutely be using him again in the future. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who truly cares about their pets! ❤️🐾”
“I cannot leave enough positive feedback about my experience with Bethany. She was attentive and sent updates. I look forward to booking with her again and she was great with my dog, Olive! Thank you so much!”
About: I will show your animal the General love and care as I give my own! I love dogs and cats and would love to care for them when you’re unable to! I love giving lovings and napping with the animals they love cuddling in the bed together! I work full time Monday through Friday typically but am very willing to work around those hours to care for your loves! I typically am free in the evenings and can wake up earlier to take care of your babies if needed before work. I treat everyone’s home with respect. I know it is sometimes uneasy trusting someone new as some people have no respect for others and their belongings rest assured with me your house will be in the same condition you left it in!

“Taylor was great to work with and took good care of our cat, Gabby, for 2 drop-in visits, while we were away visiting with family. Definitely would use her again if we need a cat visit while staying in Sebring!!”

We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter than Erin! She was punctual, reliable, and incredibly caring with our sweet girl, Izzelle. Her thoughtful updates and adorable photos always made us smile and gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that Izzelle was getting plenty of love, attention, and excellent care. There’s nothing better than being able to enjoy your vacation knowing your fur baby is in such wonderful hands! We would absolutely trust Erin with our girl again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a fantastic cat sitter!

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.
