“Jingyi has been wonderful to work with! She is so kind with our cat and will communicate any concerns quickly. The videos and pictures she sends are adorable and appreciated. Our cat really appreciates her too!”
“I was very happy with the the care Charlie received. He's very shy but they managed to get a couple of pictures of him anyway. They also cleaned up a mess he made when he chewed through a shipping box that had cat food in it! In addition they also put out food and water each day for the stray cats in the yard. Great care and communication. I'll definitely use them again when I next need a sitter.”
About: I've been around Golden Retrievers and big dogs all my life, but I love working with all animals! Please take a minute to read the summary of my services below to see if I may be a good fit for your needs. Dog Walking and Check in Visits: I'm can provide walks or check in visits between 10am and 8pm. If you need a running buddy for your pup or someone that can accommodate special needs, I'm your girl! Please note, if you live outside of 5 mile radius, I may add a $3-5 gas fee to each visit. Daycare and Boarding: We have a small yard, a courtyard in front of our home where there's enough lawn space to play Chuckit (if you are comfortable and your dog has good recall), and a nice neighborhood for walks. I am happy to care for your dog while you are at work or traveling. A meet and greet is required for daycare and overnight stay. I will need to ensure my dog Loki gets along with yours (he is very friendly with people and dogs but necessary as a precaution). Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate cats in our home. Availability: My availability is 7 days a week. I am currently between jobs but typically work from home, so I am able to provide continuous care for your dog. I will ensure your pet is comfortable and attended to at all times. If your dog is staying in my home, I have ways to provide seperate spaces for dogs (yard, crate, upstairs/downstairs). I always provide photos of each visit!
“Ashlyn is the best!! She has done drop-in visits for me and my 2 pups as well as multi-day stays. Every time has been great! I used to be anxious about going out of town but having Ashlyn taking care of my pups is such a comfort! I know they are so loved and well taken care of. Ashlyn is very respectful of my home and always leaves it clean and tidy. Thank you Ashlyn!”
“Sydney was fantastic! She took such great care of my senior cat, provided great pictures, and had such great communication. I really can't recommend her enough and will definitely call her back :)”
“I would highly recommend Vanessa as your pet sitter! She is attentive, respectful and communicative throughout her visits. I have a senior cat, Dexter, who requires daily medication that she was able to do in my absence. Dexter also warmed up nicely to her. Thank you Vanessa! Looking forward to hiring you again in the future.”
About: I’ve had the good fortune to have had dogs all of my life in all shapes and sizes (and one amazing cat) and they truly are the most wonderful beings! I have two dogs of my own and would love to care for your fur babies as if they were my own. I additionally work as a physical therapist and know the value of walking and exercise on a pet’s mood and overall well-being. All I ever wanted out of life was to be a dog mom and share my love of animals with others. Pets are great! I do work full time however I only work four days a week. I am available Tuesdays and on the weekend for drop in visits, pet care, and walkies. I have a large full fenced backyard and two small dogs of my own. Our animals sleep inside with us. I am happy to care for your pet in our home or your if they are more comfortable in their own environment.
About: I have over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, including helping care for two of my friend’s dogs over the years. I also currently have two dogs of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pets. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, crate routines, and following specific care instructions. I’m patient, attentive, and understand that every dog has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pup with the same love, attention, and care that I give my own. 🐾 Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine since I have two dogs of my own. I work full-time during the week, so I’m available for pet care after work in the evenings and have more flexibility on weekends. I’m happy to provide walks, playtime, feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention while making sure your pet’s normal routine is followed. 🐾 Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I provide a calm, clean environment and closely supervise pets while they’re in my care. Since I have two dogs of my own, I prefer a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure everyone gets along. I’m also happy to use crates when requested and will always respect any boundaries or safety instructions you have for your pet.
“Natalia took great care of our cats. Even our more cautious and anxious cat, who normally hides from new people, warmed up to her in just a few days. We'd definitely book her again.”
About: I've taken care of all kinds of dogs at various stages of life. I am used to the overly energetic puppies, the attitude of the "dognager/teenager" dogs and the adult and senior animals as well. I have handle pullers and pups that are leash trained. I have even trained multiple of my own dogs and have learned amazing tips from professional trainers. I love bath time which most people hate because it has the most laughable moments. I am currently a stay at home mom of 4 as of Friday and I'm looking to continue with my work in pet care. I did 4 years at petsmart, before that I was a wag walker for a year. I have a fenced in yard with two large dogs of my own. Both dog friendly. I am able to pet sit at the owners house as well as long as it's not an overnight shift.
“Charlette was so awesome with my dog Millicent! My dog can be a little stand-offish. Charlette managed to gain Millicent's trust and took such excellent care of my baby. I will definitely be booking with her again. 😊”

I will always put your pets needs first and make sure that they are healthy and happy until you return.

“We love having Angie! She always does an amazing job caring for our boy while we’re away! She has great communication skills and is always on top of everything! We will use her again and again and recommend her for anyone needing someone trustworthy to love and care for their pet!”
About: My husband & I have been dog parents for nearly 20 years, caring for our 1st furbaby Gelato for almost 14 years (he passed 3 years ago :( ) and currently caring for his sister from another mister Nutella for the past 5 :). We know how much trust it takes to leave your pup with someone else because they’re truly part of the family. We provide a calm, loving home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. We’re happy to follow your dog’s normal routine and accommodate feeding schedules, medications, and special instructions. We can only care for a small number of dogs at a time so every pup gets plenty of individual attention. We do have a dog at home so we will only be accepting dog-friendly dogs. My husband & I will be watching your pup! I work twice a week in the office but my husband will be home full time. We are available during the weekend full time based on our availability. We have a fence front and back yard. As long as your dog isn’t prone to jumping fences we can leave them in the front yard for some outside play time. If not, we have a backyard with a doggy door where they can go in and out all day. Backyard is fully secured.

Patrice has been a wonderful, communicative, and kind sitter, hanging out and providing sweet updates about our cat. Our cat also visibly warmed up to her - getting more affectionate and obviously having fun. We would highly recommend Patrice for pet sitting needs! She was great. :)
Detail oriented and incredibly caring! Tina was awesome with our kitty during a very long trip. She followed all details to a tee and from the pictures she sent, I know Basil loved her company! We can and will hire Tina again for any short or long term service.
Luella took really good care of my two cats. Her visit notes were very detailed. She took extra care to look for the cats to make sure they were okay. She also went the extra step to clean up their messes. Her communication is excellent and I could tell she has a lot of love and affection for animals. I would book her again.
We couldn’t be happier with the care and attention our dog Oliver received! Leo went above and beyond to make sure our pup was happy, safe, and well cared for. It was such a relief knowing our dog was in such wonderful hands while we were away. Leo was dependable, caring, communicative, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. He treated our dog like his own and kept us updated, sent us photos we felt were from a professional photographer - this gave us complete peace of mind and filled our hearts with joy. We highly recommend Leo to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and truly fantastic dog walker. We will absolutely be booking with him again! 🐾❤️
I was very happy with the the care Charlie received. He's very shy but they managed to get a couple of pictures of him anyway. They also cleaned up a mess he made when he chewed through a shipping box that had cat food in it! In addition they also put out food and water each day for the stray cats in the yard. Great care and communication. I'll definitely use them again when I next need a sitter.
Jonathan was great. I was on an 8 day deep sea fishing trip and had no way to communicate while out to sea. But when I made it back to civilization I was pleased to receive photos and videos from Jonathan from each day I was gone which set me at ease knowing my kitties were fine and in good hands. I'll definitely be using Jonathan again and would recommend him to anyone needing help with their furry friends.
My husband and I highly recommend Zen! She has been great with our two cats, who are young and playful but also have special diets and require extra care. She is diligent, communicative, and thoughtful. Plus she even won over our little scaredy-cat!! What a gem! Thanks Zen!
Lia was an excellent communicator throughout the petsitting process and made me feel very safe about leaving my beloved cat son in her care! She clearly loves animals and knows a lot about how to care for them—including those with special medical needs. I will definitely be booking with her again in the future and would highly recommend her care.
This was my first time using Rover and booking a pet care service, and Jocelyn made the entire process so easy and stress-free. She was very responsive, asked thoughtful questions I hadn’t even considered, and always kept me updated during her visits. My dog, Skye, can be reactive and takes time to warm up to new people, but Jocelyn was incredibly patient and understanding. She never pushed Skye beyond her comfort level and let her build trust at her own pace. By the third day, I could already see Skye becoming more comfortable with her, which meant a lot to me. It was clear that Jocelyn genuinely cared about Skye’s well-being and treated her with kindness, patience, and respect. I am so grateful for the care she provided and will definitely be booking with her again in the future. Thank you, Jocelyn, for taking such great care of my girl!

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.

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 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.
