“Katie is simply the best! She is so great with our pups and seems to genuinely enjoy spending time with them as if they were her own. Her updates are always fun to read and she is always so flexible with our ever-changing schedules.”
“Annabelle did drop in visits for our cat while we were away for a week, and she did a great job! She is friendly and communicates promptly. And Max was happy and healthy upon our return home.”
“Violeta was wonderful with our boys!! Our shy cat seemed so comfortable with her, and we didn’t expect her to even see him! She played with them and brushed them, and we are so happy with her service! Will definitely be reaching out again in the future to take care of our boys.”
“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!”
“Barbara is awesome! She was very flexible and adaptable. We appreciated her working with our changing schedule. She provided photos and updates the entire stay.”
“Kati did a phenomenal job looking after our cat Fritz. She was so communicative and sent me a detailed update with every drop in. Kati took the best pictures and cared for him as if he was her own! This was the first time we have left our kitty with someone we didn’t know. I felt so reassured and had no worries about Fritz when we were gone. I couldn’t recommend Kati enough!”
“Ana does a great job with our rescue pup! We have had a few dog sitters refuse to care for our dog because of her breed (she’s probably a pittie or staffie mix), but Ana was fully comfortable and confident to care for our sweet girl. She is sometimes timid with new people at first, but Ana evidently makes her feel really comfortable and I can tell (cameras in the house) that our dog is excited whenever Ana comes to care for her. We have been trying to find a good dog sitter that’s not only great with our dog, but also responsive, responsible, and trustworthy. We are grateful to have found Ana!”
“Brook has been fantastic. She is friendly and accomodating. She takes good care of my 130lbs dog, walking him and playing while I am gone. She takes pictures to update you, and follows directions from the routine we have. When I come home I am able to tell that my dog has been cared for!”
“Ryan has been a very kind dog sitter for my pups! He was very professional & on time for all the drop-in visits. He took them on walk, spent time with them & took very good care of them! Also, kept me updated on every drop-in visit through pictures & videos of my babies. Definitely will rebook him in future. Thank you, Ryan!”
“Tara was awesome! I’ve used her help multiple times now… found her last minute through Rover and quite grateful I did! I travel quite a bit, and relocated, so having to find someone new that I trust to come into my home when I’m not there, isn’t always the easiest! Highly recommend her! She’s awesome!!”
“Manoela was fantastic !! She was punctual and was very communicative about how my pupper was doing. Booked her for daily check ins for two weeks and it went problem free!”
“Shirley is an amazing sitter! One of the more thoughtful ones we’ve had based on the questions she asked. My dog did incredibly well under her care and we will certainly book with her again!”
“Can’t recommend her enough! Lara was awesome to work with! She showed up on time and was able to carry out Raegans complex scheduled needs to a T! She also played with him so he didn’t get lonely and was very attentive and could be easily reached whenever.”
“My 3 cats love having Ari come visit! They can be difficult - refusing to take their meds, or playing an epic game of hide and seek; but she always takes great care of them when I’m gone. Thanks for the amazing work, as always!”
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.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Sandy Plains
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.
Amy is the bombdiggety!! We have been blessed to have her watch over our babies for several years now & we are SO grateful!! She is a lifesaver! She takes exceptional care of our pets while we are away & we NEVER have to worry about anything while she is in charge. We know she has it ALL handled, with the same amount of care & concern that we would (or Better!) Our pets love her & we do too! Thanks for being a superstar sitter Amy!!!!
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.
