“Alexis was great with my two cats! She was attentive and took such good care of their needs. My cats are very comfortable around her. Alexis also kept me well upated. Having her for my pet care made my travels easier.”
“Alex was absolutely phenomenal! She provided excellent communication throughout the entire time she watched our pets—always quick to update us with photos and messages, which gave us total peace of mind. Our animals clearly LOVED her and were happy and well-cared-for when we returned. We can't say enough good things about her warmth, reliability, and genuine love for animals. Thank you, Alex—we'll definitely be booking with you again!”
“Sarah went above and beyond caring for our cat and home during a weekend getaway. Brought large packages inside even though we didn’t ask her too. Sent photos of our cat so we could see how he was doing. Would hire again.”
“I’m so glad to have found Daisy. My dog Charlotte looks forward to her visits and it has taken a huge amount of stress off me. It’s my first time using rover and I can’t recommend it enough”
“Summer was responsive, had great communication with us beginning with meeting our dog and through our return, and is very knowledgeable. Independent of Rover’s background check, we never had second thoughts about trusting her (someone we had previously only met for about 10minutes) in our home or to take care of our dog. Very respectful. Would definitely ask her again.”
“Tia did a wonderful job dropping in to check on our kitties while we were gone for the weekend. Our kitties enjoyed the extra attention from her and her kids. They can get really lonely when we are gone for a while. They also enjoyed getting regular meals and treats. We will definitely book her again in the future when we are gone.”
“Sara was great with our dogs! This is our first time using a pet service, and it went so smoothly. They took to her really well, and she was so loving to them. Would definitely recommend her for your pets!”
“So glad we were able to book last minute with Elsie! She was flexible with time and met with us prior to her checking in with our pups. Pictures and information were provided through the app and she communicated well. Thank you again, Elsie!”
About: I have owned dogs for 12+ years and I have three of them. 2 shitzhus and a lab. I also have 2 cats as of last year. I have dog sat for my friends family many times and have never had any issues. I get along with dogs so well, I’ve been called the dog whisperer. I have looked after fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, snakes, lizards, hermit crabs. Because I have animals, they have to be apart of my routine. Starts with waking up, feeding all of them, letting the dogs outside, checking if they need water, and maybe a little play session before I have to get started with my day. Periodically letting them outside to go to the bathroom and to get some fresh air. Feeding them at dinner time and repeating the morning steps. Just hanging out with them. I am pretty much willing to be constantly around the animals if need be. I will play with them, take them outside, feed them, give them the attention they need, walk them, and just hang out with them.
“Not only did she last minute pick up helping my dogs, but she went above and beyond by walking them and giving them SO much love! I got great pictures, and she treated them like they were her own pets! 10/10 recommend and appreciate the help/work she did with my boys!”

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.
