About: I've owned dogs for 15 years and have taken care of different dogs for the past 5 years. Previously helped train one dog. Used to taking care of senior dogs who need extra care like medication application. Currently working part time, so have plenty of time on Tuesdays and Thursdays to do drop ins and take care of and play with your dog(s)! I plan to keep strong communication with you about boundaries and how to best take care of your pup, since you know them best! I ask multiple questions to make sure everything I do is alright with you if unsure.
“Madison was great as always watching our cat this week. We’ve booked her multiple times now and have been noting but happy with her pet sitting and communication every time. She will continue to be our go to when we need to hire someone to watch our animals.”
“My trip was just over two weeks which can be a bit stressful for Monty but Anahita took great care of him, kept his long fur brushed, gave him some outdoor and play time. She also took good care of my indoor/outdoor plants thru the hot weather, as well as mail and trash. This is my second time hiring Anahita and she will be my first choice of sitter for future trips! Thanks Anahita!!”
“Teresa is indeed the "cat whisperer"! We set up a meet and greet, and she was very detailed and friendly. The cats both came out to greet her (even my shy kitty). During her visits, she took wonderful photos every day and sent details about how the visit went. The cats seemed very happy and well cared for. Teresa was even able to administer the kitty inhaler to my asthmatic cat who can get upset when other people try it. We already booked our next visit with Teresa!”
“I don't even know where to begin. Yun is such a blessing! She is so attentive, friendly and my pup Millie just LOVES her. Don't hesitate booking Yun in any capacity. She is the best. Thanks again, Yun!”
“We are so fortunate to have found Katherine on Rover to take care of our dogs. She is a very caring and detail-oriented person. She bonded with our dogs quickly and provided them with the care we had hoped for. Her daily communication on the status of our dogs was fantastic. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and detail oriented pet sitter. We hope to work with her again.”
“Jeanne was on time the two mornings to feed our feral cats which are three to four of them, though these cats she will not see since they hide until she leaves our front yard. Yet, we invited her into our front room when she came to our front door and Jeanne has a wonderful spirit who can talk about just about anything plus no shyness is there about her. Jeanne smiles, laughs and keeps eye contact while we all talked also. Lovely personality she has... I'm glad she lives close by us too. Thank you. Sincerely, Mrs. Bonnie Kellerby”
“i see my cats LIGHT UP when kate stops by. they have so much fun together and it takes the stress off leaving them knowing how well they are being loved and cared for. can’t recommend highly enough!”
About: I’ve taken care of my own dogs & cats, as well as my friends’ for the last 15 years. I have experience with big ones, small ones, feisty, friendly… they all deserve all the love. I’m currently working part-time, mostly off my phone, so I will have plenty of time to have quality time with your pet(s)! I’ve had animals with a more regimented schedule & others that are low maintenance- happy to accommodate both. I have a fenced yard & a small senior Shih Tzu to keep your animal company! There’s also lots of parks in the area- both with other dogs, or more private.
About: I’ve been a cat owner since 2008 and have shared my home with two cats for most of that time. We currently have two wonderful, happy and well-loved cats of our own, so I know how important it is to feel completely comfortable with the person caring for your pets while you’re away. I’m calm, caring, attentive and very reliable. I take pride in being on time, following instructions carefully and communicating well. I’ll make sure your cat or small dog gets the care, attention and company they need — and I’m always happy to send photos and updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll care for your pets and your home with the same respect and attention I’d want someone to give mine. I have a flexible daily schedule, which makes it easy for me to fit pet care into my routine. I’m available for drop-in visits throughout the week and can often be flexible with timing. I’m happy to work with your pet’s usual routine whenever possible. I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home and leave your pet in their care. I will always follow your instructions carefully, respect your home and make your pet’s safety and comfort my priority. I’m calm and attentive and will happily send photos and updates after each visit so you know everything is going well.
“Thank you so much Chloe for taking such good care of the kitties! I loved getting your photos while away - seeing the kitties having a great time with you really eased any concerns I had about being away”
“Anke has been amazing with our Zoey, she’s is prompt follows the instructions we have to help us maintain our training with Zoey. Anke has been a great find for our Zoey and our family. The Arteaga’s”
“Ching-Chi did a wonderful job caring for our older cat! She came every day on time, spent time with our cat, and sent lots of great photos to document her visits.”
“Linda has been great with Waffles. She is reliable, always responds quickly to messages, and has helped me out on short notice when my plans changed suddenly. Waffles clearly has a great time from the cute pics Linda always shares. I would highly recommend Linda to anyone!”
About: I understand how important it is to make sure your fur baby is well taken care of while you are away. I provide peace of mind for you when you are away from them. I provide lots of cuddles, playtime, and continuous communication with picture updates about your babies. I have had so much experience growing up on a vet farm with dogs, cats, chickens, horses and cows. I also have pets of my own who need pet sitting once in a while and have found some of the best pet sitters on Rover. I do require a meet and greet to make sure everyone is a good fit before I accept a booking. I am currently available to pet sit for most weekends. We have a fully fenced in yard with a large grassy area for play. Your dog is invited to feel at home with us depending on your preferences. I live in a great safe neighborhood to provide long walks or playtime at the doggy park nearby. I work from home three days a week and am available to take multiple walks depending on the weather. Weekends are adventure time. We can hike, play fetch or run at the two large local parks. We have a fully fenced yard for all day fun. I take multiple walks to take a break from the computer and welcome walks in our safe neighborhood.
About: I think what sets me apart is my lifelong experience with animals and the fact that I truly understand how much they mean to their families. I grew up with a beagle and multiple cats, and now I have two bully breed dogs of my own. Caring for different breeds and personalities has taught me that every pet is unique and deserves patience, understanding, and individualized care. Owning bully breeds has also made me comfortable handling strong, energetic dogs while recognizing that they thrive with consistency, positive interactions, and plenty of love. I’m equally happy spending time with shy cats who need a calm presence or playful pets who want lots of attention. As a pet owner myself, I know how hard it can be to trust someone with your pets and your home. If someone were caring for my dogs, I’d want them to treat them like family, and that’s exactly how I’ll care for yours. Whether your pet needs walks, playtime, medication, or simply someone to keep them company, my goal is to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved until you’re home. Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I care for my own two dogs every day, including walks, feeding, playtime, enrichment, and making sure they get plenty of love and attention. Having had a cat as well, I’m also familiar with the routines and care that cats need. Because caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, I’m able to build pet visits and walks into my schedule while giving each pet the time and attention they deserve. I believe in keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is to keep their routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I’ll carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and any special needs or preferences. As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. If someone were caring for my dogs, I’d want to know my home was secure, my pets were safe, and that they were being treated like family—because that’s exactly how I view my own dogs. I bring that same level of care and respect to every home I visit. I’ll treat your home as if it were my own by keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. I’ll also send regular photo and video updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, well cared for, and getting plenty of love and attention while you’re away.

Olivia was wonderful! My cats liked her immediately and she was very sweet with them. I appreciated the photos and videos of playtime while I was gone and the updates that they had taken their medication with no problem. She was very prompt with every time frame she gave me. Would definitely book again!
Adrienne was absolutely wonderful with our sweet Rocky! He took to her right away, and it was clear from the start that he was comfortable and happy in her care. She was reliable, conscientious, and attentive, giving us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking Adrienne again. Highly recommend!
We recently had Victoria sit for our senior dog. She provided first class attention and love for our dog. She followed our instructions and we didn’t need to worry about leaving our pet. We would have Victoria come again whenever we needed a pet sitter. Thank you, Victoria!
We are so fortunate to have found Katherine on Rover to take care of our dogs. She is a very caring and detail-oriented person. She bonded with our dogs quickly and provided them with the care we had hoped for. Her daily communication on the status of our dogs was fantastic. I would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, caring, and detail oriented pet sitter. We hope to work with her again.
Pam was awesome! She clearly loves dogs and is very knowledgeable about their needs and behaviors. My dog loves people but lacks confidence when it comes to other dogs. She offered some tips and worked with my girl to build her confidence during their walks. Pam took great care of my pup and we’ll definitely be working with her again!

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.
