“I reached out to Jennifer as a last minute booking forbmy cmvacation when my regular pet sitter had an emergency and couldnt watch my place. She was quick to respond and set up a meeting right away. She was very thoughtful and attentive to my cat. I appreciated the updates and photos.”
“Kylee is the best! She did such a great job taking care of Harley while we were away. Awesome communication and you can tell she truly cares about your pup’s comfort & wellbeing. Definitely going to be using her as our go-to sitter moving forward! 🩷”
“We are always at ease leaving our kitties with Hannah! She takes such great care of them and gives us cute pictures and great updates! We are always happy to book with her every time we’re gone.”
About: I grew up having all animals in my life. From my own house having turtles, birds, Guinea pigs,5 dogs and almost 15 cats!(no joke!) my aunt I’m very close with also had a small farm with lots of farm animals that I’ve helped take care of. Again I’m a super big animal lover and have no problem taking care of easy pets or difficult bigger pets like 100+ pound dogs. I also have many references that go back 8 years long I’m currently working part-time in the slower season of my job at U-Haul moving and storage. My work shifts are usually around six hours long 3-4 days a week so I have plenty of free time and availability. I also am able to take a lunch break if needed to go check on or feed your pets while at work! Currently, I am living in an apartment with my mom who is also an animal lover and helps me take care of any animals that I might have staying over but I usually do stick to smaller animals being brought into my home since I do have a cat already. I usually prefer to go to your house or possibly asleep at your house if you’re gone for the weekend so that way I’m able to give nonstop care and attention to the animal. I also am very easy-going and do not require much when staying at your home! As well, I have many references for taking care of animals for taking care of house houses plants and anything in between
About: I would be an excellent choice to care for your beloved pets because I understand that they are more than animals – they are family. I’m attentive, compassionate, and dedicated to providing a safe, loving environment while you’re away. I’m not only reliable and trustworthy but also attentive to the unique needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the personalized care, comfort, and playtime they deserve. You can count on me to go the extra mile! I am at home full time, so I am able help out during both weekdays and weekends! (Even holidays) just let me know how I can help. I have a large home and am able to offer an open space to run and play and a save place to sleep. I can also help walk your dog during the day while you are at work/ take them out to play.
“This was my first usage of the Rover App and it won't be my last. Emma was friendly, professional, prompt, efficient, and effective. Don't let her rates mislead you into thinking you are getting less of a service. I highly recommend her and will utilize her services in the future. Great job and Thank you!”
About: Hello fellow pet parents, Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Megan. When I got my first dog (ever) 12 years ago something happened, I rediscovered my love of animals, especially dogs. She inspired me to volunteer at the humane society and help those in need on the streets. Dogs are my passion. I know how it feels to go on vacation and leave your furry kid(s) behind. It can be a stressful process finding the right place to have them stay. Which brings us to this site, it's a great comfort to find a host who fits well with you and your furry one's needs. Having your furry baby stay with me will provide you with that comfort. I know how much your dog means to you because I know how much mine means to me. They will get all the loves and belly rubs they can handle. You will receive a ton of picture and video updates on your vacation as well. I do have experience with senior dogs, my black lab was 12 before she passed and from dog daycare. I have been a dog bather for the past 7 years. Please don't hesitate to ask me any questions you might have. I work with dogs on a daily basis at a dog daycare. I love that it gives me the chance to learn more and more about dog behavior and breeds. ------------------------------------------------------ ***Must have a meet and greet prior to care. I am unavailable Sundays and Weds until 4pm. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday to Saturday I am available all day. Feel free to reach out with any questions. I am open to working with you. I do not offer care in my home at this time. At your home,I always follow the feeding schedule that's provided. I will do as many potty breaks as needed, unless your home has a dog door they always use to potty. I can do walks throughout the day, unless it's summer, then they are shortened and I try to avoid any walks/potty breaks during the hottest times.
“Lacey took great care of our Bella! She showed up to the house on time and when she said she would. It's so hard to leave your little fur babies so but she sent lots of pictures, which was reassuring. We will definitely be using Lacey's services when we have to go out of town.”
About: I have loved animals for as long as I can remember! I am new to the Rover community but I am not new to loving on the pups as I have committed myself to learning the best ways to adapt and give the best care for them. When I come to take care of, play with, and walk your dogs, I will dedicate my time to loving them (which is SO easy for me to do). I would be honored to take them to a dog park where they can also interact with the other puppers while you’re away! While I have had dogs of all sizes my entire life, I do not have any dogs of my own at the moment. This means I am full of energy and love to give to you and yours! I currently work from home part time so I have lots of time and love to give! This is intentional as I would like to spend more of time around the doggos. I am mostly available M-F but can be available on the weekends as needed, spending time with your pup is something I look forward to! My apartment has a dog park for both small and big dogs, as well as a full park just down the street. I do not own a crate of my own at the moment but I am able to set up their home crate in my space if needed.
About: We have had dogs in the house for as long as I can remember. We have had dogs of all sizes, as small as terriors and as big as Great Danes. I’ve walked and taken care of my dogs since I was at least 10 years old. I have no problem giving medication and giving baths when needed. I’m excited to give any dog all the attention and love it needs when their owner is a little busy or out of town. We all know it gets a little hot in Arizona, I always make sure to have an extra water bottle just in case if the dog needs it. I am currently a stay at home mom of a 1 year old who is still learning boundaries. I can give all the love and attention your pup needs I have a fenced yard and my Aussie mix is a very friendly dog and very energetic despite being 8 yrs old. I do have a little one that would be with me for drop ins.
“Sydney was great at taking care of my bunnies and keeping me updated on their pet care routine daily. I appreciate her thoroughness and she kept attention to details I mentioned about their physiology and behavior”
“Hannah was great! Friendly, nice, and overall very easy to communicate with. We had no worries leaving our fur baby at home while we went on vacation as he was left in good care with Hannah. Definitely would recommend!”
About: I've always loved dogs and when I had them as a kid I never truly appreciated them. Now as an adult I make sure to give my dog as much love and care as I possibly can without spoiling him too much. I've liked just about every dog I've ever interacted with and really all I want to do is meet as many dogs as I can. Im available anytime on Fridays Saturdays Sundays and Mondays. I'm taking some classes right now on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays so any of those days would be a little harder to schedule I know how much dogs love to play and I have no problem being active and running around and playing with any dog. My dog can get a little rough sometimes so I know how to manage dogs when they get a little out of control while making sure they are safe.
About: I’ve had the pleasure of looking after a wide range of animals, from small kittens to large dogs. I’ve previously fostered kittens, providing them with a safe and loving environment until they found their forever homes. In addition to dog sitting, I’ve gained hands-on experience caring for pets of various sizes, ensuring each one receives the attention, love, and tailored care they need. Your furry friends will be in great hands with me! I currently work full-time (M-F, early morning-afternoon), but I’m available to care for your pets before and after work and all weekend long. Whether you need afternoon visits, evening cuddles, or full-time weekend care, I’m flexible and ready to meet your pet’s needs! I’ve had the privilege of pet sitting in clients’ homes numerous times, and I always treat both the pets and the home with the utmost respect. I understand how important your space is, so I ensure it’s kept clean and comfortable while providing your pets with the care and attention they deserve. Your pets will feel loved, and your home will be in safe hands.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years. Adult dogs can thrive with a feeding routine, fresh water, regular exercise, enough potty breaks, and good sleeping habits—and of course, quality time with their favorite human! I have a large fenced yard with lots of room to run, but can also easily crate your dog if needed. I provide consistent attention, respect your pet's boundaries, use preferred food and treats, and communicate openly with you about any concerns or special needs your pet may have.
About: Having 2 doxies trained me to be patient and to dispense all the love and attention they need (it's a lot:) I simply love to cuddle up with a pup or play if they're in the mood. I have a lifetime of cat experience and raised 2 mini dachshunds ( lost in divorce) whom I worshipped! I have many repeat house sitting jobs, and will treat your pet like they are my own. In your home, I will follow directions to the letter and leave your house as it was when I arrived. Warning...your pet may be spoiled:) I have cared for elderly dogs & puppies! I love cats as well, and used to socialize kitties at the Humane Society.
“Kelly was great watching my dog Zoey! Was very flexible always with a quick response! After doing a meet and greet I had zero concerns about Zoey knowing Kelly was checking on her! Highly recommend her!!”
About: I am a huge animal lover. All animals deserves love and care. Working with animals is definitely something I love and enjoy doing. I’ve worked with animals in previous jobs that include; Dog Boarding Multiple Dogs, Dog Washing, Dog Walking Multiple Dogs, Dog Sitting, and Cat Sitting. I have always had a blast doing all of these jobs. I have worked will all kinds of different animal personalities and breeds. I love & appreciate my clients. Both my daily/when needed regulars, as well as my one time clients. Go ahead and send me a request! I will contact you right away, with an answer of whether I am available to care for your fur fam or am unfortunately unavailable. I have a cat, snake and two dogs of my own. They love and enjoy attention. All animals I have worked with have been an absolute joy even when they have their moments. I have learned a lot from working with and being around many dogs and cats.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - San Carlos
This was my first usage of the Rover App and it won't be my last. Emma was friendly, professional, prompt, efficient, and effective. Don't let her rates mislead you into thinking you are getting less of a service. I highly recommend her and will utilize her services in the future. Great job and Thank you!
Julie was absolutely amazing! I was away for the weekend and she took such great care of my cat. She was reliable, communicative, and made me feel completely comfortable knowing he was in good hands. She gave him plenty of attention and care, kept me updated, and went above and beyond during every visit. It’s obvious she genuinely cares about animals, and that gave me a lot of peace of mind while I was gone. I would 100% trust Julie to watch him again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable and caring pet sitter!
Tina was great! We had her come over for an hour 2 times each week to feed and play with our 5 month old puppy. She was always on time and reliable, sending photos and updates on what they did every day. I also told her we were working on some training with him and she would practice with him often! Definitely will be using her services again!
We were excited to go on vacation knowing that Jessica would be watching our two fur babies. It was great reading her updates each morning we were gone and to know that they were being loved and in good hands. She was reliable and made sure we came back home to a happy house.

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.
