“I can’t thank Taylor enough for always going the extra mile for my babies, I’m super grateful to have him watch them when I’m away. He is very communicative, prompt and of course the pups love him! Thank you for everything, we are blessed to have you around!”
“Katie is “simply the best, better than all the rest”! Seriously so glad we found her. I finally feel comfortable leaving my furbabies on vacation and have peace of mind knowing she will take care of them.”
“Venie was very communicative and even came over to meet my cat, Julian before we went out of town. And she was sweet to Julian as well. I really appreciated it! Would use her again!”
“Brook H. is such a wonderful sitter for my crew. She is attentive, thorough and sends great pictures to me along the stay. Brook is proactive if any dog is off their feed or not behaving properly. Thanks to Brook for all you do!!!”
About: Hi there! I’m new to Rover but not new to caring for pets as we have a 10-year-old fur baby of our own and we've had him since he was a pup. I have board and sit both dogs and cats for families several times and realized how much we enjoyed their company and how easy it was for to us have them in our homes especially given that we've already have a very similar routine in caring for Jojo. We do have a pet of our own and a good existing routine, so we are able to host quite seamlessly so you can board with peace of mind. We take our dog out 4x per day; once in the morning (7-9am), afternoon (12-2pm), evening (5-7pm) and then at night (9-11pm) before bedtime. Food can be put out anytime, and happy to accommodate requests on food instructions. We have over half an acre of fully fenced backyard, giving your pup plenty of safe, secure space to explore, stretch their legs, and do their business. We also live in a walk-friendly neighborhood and enjoy regular walks throughout the day. Between our spacious backyard and neighborhood strolls, your pup will have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore.
About: I’ve been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for years, and I truly love it. Whether it's a catnap snuggle or a long dog walk, I’m happy to help your pet feel comfortable, loved, and cared for while you're away. I'm currently saving up for graduate school, and pet sitting is a great way for me to do something I enjoy while helping others. I work the predictable full time work schedule Monday thru Friday, 9am-5pm! I am happy to hang out with your pet before or after. If close by I could check in during my lunch break! I am very flexible to your pets needs, I want to make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you are away! I am also happy to send you updates so you are also comfortable and assured!
“George was very communicative and great with updates every visit he made. The dogs loved him and did everything we asked to take care of our dogs. He will be our first to go to the next time we need someone to take care of our 2 dogs.”
About: I'm very flexible, and have lots of experience with dog training/behavior and general animal care. I have volunteered at shelters, worked with dogs on farms, fostered, and even worked with service dogs! I also exept small animals, reptiles, exotics, etc. Everything furry, scaly, or feathery is welcome! I won't be able to offer boarding in my own home at this time. Sorry for the inconvenience! I'll be available to house-sit, do drop-ins, walks, and light training and grooming for those that need help with it. I treat all animals according to their needs, emotionally, psychologically, physically, and with unending patience. I'm a researcher by nature, and have acquired a lot of knowledge on all types of pets and wildlife.
About: Hi there! I’m Kristin, a lifelong pet owner and animal lover! Caring for animals has always been a huge part of my life, and there’s nothing I love more than having a furry friend curled up beside me. I understand how important it is to know your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to make every pet feel right at home, with plenty of love, attention, playtime, and cuddles. I’ll treat your fur baby like one of my own! My home has a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to safely run, play, and explore. I also love going on walks and am always happy to slow down for those important sniffing adventures! I can also accommodate drop-in visits/walks as well as overnight stays. I know how much you’ll miss your pet, so I’ll send plenty of photos and videos to keep you updated and give you peace of mind. Whether your pet loves to play, explore, or simply snuggle on the couch, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 🐾❤️ I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your furry friend the attention and care they deserve. I’m available for overnight boarding, drop-in visits, walks, and whatever else you may need throughout the week. I can work around your pet’s normal feeding and care routine. My animals are the first thing I think of when I wake up and the last thing I think of before I go to bed. I always make sure that their needs are met and give them lots of love, attention and playtime.
About: I have been taking care of my family & friends pups since I can remember and enjoy every second! I have worked with puppies less than 8 weeks of age all the way to senior dogs of 16 years and up! I have experience with working with multiple dogs at once and have one dog of my own who I treat like my child and spoil very much! My schedule changes every week but I only work three days a week so I am pretty flexible and am willing to adhere to any needs! I will make sure to keep a clean and safe space for your pets and always make sure they are taken for a bathroom break in a routinely manner! We will have plenty of time for play but also time to rest when the time comes to it!
About: I am a 28-year old artist with 2 degrees; I have had pets of all kinds but have had many cats over the years. I am a definite cat lover, but have also had experience with dogs as well! I have experience with both traditional litter boxes and Litter Robot. I am familiar with giving liquid medication to cooperative cats, and pill pockets and "ham wrapped" pills to dogs. I am happy to play with, hang with, and be a friend to your beloved furry friend, getting to know them, sending pictures, and keeping them company! I am currently in between jobs, so I have plenty of availability and flexibility to work with your schedule. I am happy to accommodate where needed. I am happy to follow the rules of the household, and give your beloved furry friend all of the care they need following their regular lifestyle! I will not be able to "roughhouse" with your pets, but I am happy to provide stimulating play in other ways, like with toys, walks, or other outdoor play.
“It’s so rare that my shy cats would come out and greet someone who they’ve never met! I really appreciate you stopping by and giving them not only the food but also much needed human interaction time. Thank you!!”
About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. My house has always been home to multiple beloved pets. I’ve cared for my five childhood cats from my youngest years through their life with me in college, a dog from 6 months to 15 years who grew up with me, and my family recently welcomed a puppy into our home. I have years of cat sitting and dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and loved ones, and for near a year now I have volunteered at a cage-free cat shelter. I have experience with both young and senior pets, including providing medications and fluids and supporting pets post-surgery, and I always strive to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I have a passion for caring for pets and providing them with the love and attention they need and deserve. I currently work full-time, so I am available to visit with pets locally in the mornings and evenings after 4pm.Unfortunately, if pets need midday check-ins to be let out, I may not currently have the flexibility to pop by. For overnight sitting, I am able to spend most weekday and weekend nights with pets with proper notice and scheduling. When house sitting, I take both pet and home safety seriously. As I am not presently able to board pets, at the client's home I follow each owner’s instructions closely, keep doors, windows, and gates secure, supervise pets carefully, and maintain their normal routines. I’m attentive to potential hazards and make sure pets are never given an opportunity to escape. I also keep emergency and veterinary information readily available and communicate promptly with owners if anything unexpected comes up.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Plains
Annabelle is an outstanding Dogsitter. Our dogs have been so well adjusted since she has started caring for our dogs when we travel. Her consistency of her visits makes so much easier on the dogs and we love the check-ins with pics. We are so thankful to have found her.
Karen was so amazing! I had a last minute request, and I’m so thankful I found her. She sent plenty of photos and walked and fed my girl well. When we had to exchange keys again after I was back home, Wiggy was so excited she went and grabbed a tennis ball to play with her again! I definitely recommend Karen and plan to book her again! 😊
Kati was great. We had a last second need for a dog sitter & Kati was willing to step in and help out. Right off the bat both Sadie & Tippy gravitated to Kati. She was very attentive to their needs and made sure they were well taken care of. I would most definitely recommend Kati to anyone who is need of a dog/cat sitter. She is absolutely great.
Brian has visited Zoey and Luna every day for a week. He allows them to continue with their normal routine and they are happy just sitting on the deck with him. In the pictures, Zoey and Luna are in their happy places, I would expect to find them. Thanks Brian for giving them love in my absence. And I appreciate your flexibility.
Ana was wonderful with Buddy while we were away! She was reliable, communicative, and gave us so much peace of mind during our trip. Buddy can be very picky and set in his routines, and Ana was incredibly patient and caring with him. We truly appreciated the updates, attention, and care she provided throughout the week. It made it so much easier for us to relax knowing he was being looked after so well. We’re very grateful for all of her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a thoughtful and dependable pet 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 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.
