“Karli did an amazing job taking care of our elderly cat and went above and beyond to make sure he was well loved. It really put our mind at ease knowing he had someone there to visit him regularly and take care of his needs.”
“Tamany is trustworthy, kind, and very easy to work with. Her drop-in visits have been incredibly valuable to our pups and our peace of mind. We would recommend her to future clients!”
“Erin was so detailed and a great communicator! We loved all of the info and she did great if there were questions or if something came up! We felt our pets were in great hands with her and her daughter. Our pets also loved them! Would definitely rebook!”
“With the weather and really warm temps this week, this was a last minute booking that allowed Ludo to get in the house during the hottest part of the day after spending the morning and early afternoon outside. Amber was able to accommodate the last minute request and help out with that!”
About: I lived with 2 cats for a majority of my life. I have experience watching animals for family and friends, looking to meet new best friends. I am currently working full time and going to school part time to earn my master’s degree. Looking for a fun side job to keep life interesting. I am open to having the animals out in the open or crated when not around. Would love to have a yard to play with animals, but not opposed to going to local parks.
About: My name is Corrie and I love animals, I have 2 cats, 2 dogs and 2 kids. They mean so much to me. I have a passion for caring for animals of all kinds. I love going for walks with my dogs. I have a big yard that's 2.5 acres and we roam around the whole thing. Some of it's long grass so I will check for ticks. I cut or file my own dogs nails as well and can offer that if needed depending how well the dog or cat does. I work full time but work from home some days of the week, Wednesdays and Fridays. We are available in evenings and weekends. Especially in the winter. We have a large yard. Most of the time we let the dogs out on a 50 foot leash for quick potty breaks. Rocky is allowed to roam a little. Otherwise we walk the dogs around the yard or neighborhood. Have a large crate when needed.
About: I’ve been caring for dogs for over 14 years, and they have always held a special place in my heart. I have a dog of my own who is the center of my world, so I know how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your pet while you’re away. I’ve never met a dog I didn’t love. One of my favorite parts of pet sitting is getting to know each dog’s unique personality. Whether your pup is full of energy and ready to play or prefers a quiet afternoon filled with belly rubs and companionship, I’m happy to meet them where they’re at and give them the care they deserve. My drop-in visits are about more than just letting your dog outside or filling a food bowl. I believe every dog deserves quality time, attention, and enrichment. During my visits, I’m happy to play fetch, go for walks, spend time cuddling, or bring treat puzzles and other mentally stimulating activities to keep them engaged. For high-energy dogs, I’m more than willing to help them burn off some energy through play and exercise so they feel happy and fulfilled. I know leaving your pet can be stressful, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly. I treat every dog as if they were my own with patience, kindness, and genuine love. My goal is for you to come home to a dog who felt safe, cared for, and loved while you were away. I understand that every dog is different, which is why I tailor each visit to their individual needs and routine. Whether they need extra potty breaks, a long game of tug, quiet companionship, or simply someone to sit with them while you’re gone, I’m here to provide dependable care and lots of affection. At the end of the day, I don’t see this as just a job. I truly love spending time with dogs. Building trust with them and giving owners peace of mind is the best part of what I do, and I’d be honored to care for your furry family member. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. As a full-time online college student, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable drop-in visits throughout the day. I take pride in being punctual and making sure every visit is focused on giving your dog the care, attention, exercise, and affection they deserve, not just a quick potty break. I love building relationships with the dogs I care for and making them feel comfortable while their family is away. Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand that entering someone else’s home requires trust, and I treat both your pet and your home with the utmost respect. During each visit, I’ll carefully follow your instructions, refresh water, provide meals or medications if needed, ensure your dog gets plenty of potty breaks, exercise, and affection, and always double-check that doors and gates are secure before leaving. I know every dog has different needs, so I tailor each visit to their personality. Whether that’s a game of fetch, a walk, enrichment with treat puzzles, or simply spending quiet time together so they feel safe and loved until you return.
“Emma was amazing. We however dropped the ball this time with a few things and she was so understanding. The pups loved her. Her communication was awesome. Will definitely use her again if she can put up with us 🤦🏻♀️🤣”
“Nichole has been great! She is very friendly and responsive. I enjoy the report cards I get from her visits. It’s comforting knowing that my kiddos are getting checked on each day by someone caring. Having Nichole stop by takes a lot of stress off my shoulders while I’m at work all day. Highly recommend!”
“Mary was fantastic to work with! We needed help since we were on a time crunch and so was so kind and thoughtful when we met with her prior to our scheduled drop in visits. Ryder had a great time with here as well!”
“She took wonderful care of my two dogs, Buzz and Woody! She was dependable, attentive, and kept me updated, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My dogs were happy, comfortable, and clearly well cared for. I would absolutely trust her with them again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a kind and reliable pet sitter!”
“Macaroni, my crazy hound loves Amber! They have had a couple play dates and great walks! She will be staying with Macaroni for a few days coming up and I am not worried a bit! I know she’s in great hands! So glad we found her!”
About: I grew up on a farm with horses, cows, dogs, cats, chickens and bunnies. I was involved in their care from a very young age. I currently live on 15 acres with five kitties and two Aussies. Animals have always been a part of my life and treated like family. I can be available for check-in’s, feedings, and dog walking after 5pm on Wednesday & Friday. Available all day for check-ins and feedings on the weekends, with walks or playtime. Can administer oral medicine and groom dogs or cats. Daily walks, feedings, daily meds for one of my dogs and playtime for my two Australian Sheperds. Daily feedings, special diet feeding w/meds for one kitty, litter box scooping, and playtime for all five of my kitties.
About: I have raised several dogs from the time they were puppies. I have done obedience training with all of them. I truly enjoy the loyal companionship of a dog. I am currently on SSDI, so I am retired. I do have a karaoke DJ business, but that usually only takes me away one or two nights a month. I currently have a French bulldog who is fixed and he is very friendly with other dogs. I also have two cats, but I have the ability to separate them from the rest of the house.
About: I’ve cared for my own pets, of course…BUT, I'm also the trusted person friends and neighbors turn to when they need help with watching their dogs. I'm a reliable, trustworthy, and responsible person who genuinely loves dogs. I've done a lot of training with my own dogs and have developed a strong understanding of their behaviors and communication. I have a flexible schedule so I can easily set up time to come to your home to do a let out, have play time, or walk your dog. When your pup is in my care they will receive plenty of love and affection, outside time, and exercise in a safe and comfortable environment. I will also send pictures and updates during their walk, let out, or stay with me. My schedule is flexible and I am able to be available for daytime or evening walks and let outs. I can usually work around your schedule or needs. I have a large fenced in yard in a safe neighborhood. I have a friendly 6-year-old Labrador retriever who can keep your pup company too.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for about four years and worked in a veterinary hospital for three years. I have cared for cats, dogs, reptiles, and even farm animals. With my veterinary experience, I understand animal behavior and basic medical needs, allowing me to provide loving, reliable, and attentive care while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I work part-time as a waitress, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule and provide attentive, consistent care for pets. When I have advance notice, I can adjust my work schedule to accommodate pet sitting needs. For overnight stays, I prioritize spending most of my time in the pet’s home to ensure they feel comfortable and cared for. I care for pets in their own home to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I like to follow routines, maintain a clean and secure environment, and provide plenty of attention and supervision. With my past experience, I’m attentive to behavior changes and health needs to ensure safe, reliable care.
About: I’ve had dogs since I was a kid and also worked with all different types of dogs while working at a doggy day care. I learned there body language and behaviors I currently work part time and have plenty of time to spare and I just want to do something I love. More open on weekdays then weekends. I treat them as my own. Take them on many walks and make sure they get everything they need. Play with them and keep them company

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Saint Francis stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

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.

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.
