“Haley was awesome with our frenchie and two cats. This was our first time using Rover. She followed all the instructions for our babies. She made sure they received the attention they deserved and sent update photos for every visit. She was also on time every visit as well. She is much appreciated for the care she provided while me and my wife were away on vacation and I highly recommend her to others, and will be using her again in the future.”
About: I’ve grown up with animals and have always taken care of them. I just started pet sitting this year and look forward to doing it on the side when I’m not playing soccer! I am home from school for the summer so my availability is very free and flexible! I am a college athlete playing soccer so aside from my daily workouts I am always free to help make your day easier by spending some extra time with your pets!! I am there to help in any way possible with taking care of your pet whether that be dropping in for a visit or walking your dog.
“Crystal was very friendly. She got along well with both our labrador retriever and our small Yorky poo, It was nice knowing that we had someone we could count on while we were out of town for the day..👍🏻😁”
“Thank you Riley for taking great care of our kittens while we were away. Riley showed up when she needed to, made sure our cats had food and water and kept their littler box clean. She spent time with them and gave them love and attention which made us feel better about leaving them home. I would book with Riley again and just ask her to be mindful of unnecessary lighting gets turned off. Our boys were taken care of with lots of love and we really appreciate that.”
About: I respect all animals, and have a particular love for cats and kittens. I’ve taken care of puppies, cats, and reptiles for over five years. I can be relied on to look after your pet… feed them, play with them, do a little pet yoga, and keep an eye on them for you. I’ll have plenty of time to be with your pet and give them one on one attention. I work part time and work from home. I have a dedicated space for my pet guests, giving them leisure of my living room area and there is a large gated space in the back of my residence if your pet needs outside time.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my entire life, raised puppies and nursed elderly dogs! Definitely a passion of mine. I’ve trained a few rescues as well. I work part time so I’m home quite often, other than that I spend my free time hiking or taking walks with my own pup Willow. Open spaced home, great walking neighborhood with dog park only .10 mile away. Willow I’ve raised since a puppy, she’s a 6 year old lab who is insanely affectionate and energetic, and beyond sweet. She does get overly excited meeting new dogs, and loves making new friends! It’s different for each sitting and depends on what each owner is looking for. I will not take on opportunities that I can’t be fully invested and present for. Plenty of free time to accommodate your pups needs! Communication with other owners is vital from both ends to be sure everyone is taken care of and happy.
About: I’ve worked with animals ever since I was 15. I would take care of my neighbors, friends, and clients dogs or cats. Use to work at an animal hospital and also a boarding/daycare facility. I learned from working there how to administer medications. At the moment I have a very flexible schedule therefore providing lots of options for you and your furry family members! I have always had a deep passion for animals! I have a dog and a cat at home that I adore. Both my babies are rescue pets. I enjoy working with both my dog and my cat on training them to do new things.
“Kristina was excellent with our pups!! She communicated very well with us throughout the entire 5 day drop-ins and she sent plenty of pictures! She was very patient with our dogs and followed all of our instructions. She went above and beyond at some points to make sure our pups were comfortable. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her services to anyone who needs her to take care of their fur babies!!”
About: I love everything about animals! When it comes to Cats and Dogs they are such great companions and I truly enjoy seeing an animal that is pleased and satisfied with my care, as well as their owners and I will do everything to make sure that happens, I have had professional experience working for a doggie daycare business. I of course am a pet owner myself and know what its like to have to trust someone else to take care of your beautiful pet. I very much value that trust and and take the time to learn different tricks and techniques to provide the best care possible for any type of dog or cat that I could possibly encounter on a day to day basis. I am sure that I can provide a valuable service to you. I work Part-Time, and I keep a flexible schedule so I will have no issue fitting any commitments into my calendar and I always maintain clear communication. Based on discussions with the client I will give as much attention to the animal as possible during service including playing with or without toys, walks, bathroom breaks, Feeding, Cuddles etc. based on the desire of the animal.
“Autumn came in clutch for my baby. She got her to warm up to her quickly. She also did her hair for me and made sure she was taken care of while I was gone. The daily pictures and updates kept me going and less stressed while I was away.. I am so grateful for her and I will be booking her again.”
“Kayley was wonderful and took great care of our baby. She sent us pictures with updates several times a day and I could tell our girl was very happy. This was our first time using Rover and Kayley and I will definitely be using them again!”
About: I’ve had animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. I’ve primarily cared for small and medium-sized dogs, but I’ve also had experience with larger dogs, including my roommate's two who were very cautious and selective about who they trusted. Somehow, they quickly decided I was one of their people! My family and friends also regularly trust me with their furry family members and often come to me for advice. I currently have a cat of my own who requires medication and has some behavioral quirks, so I’m comfortable with the extra patience, consistency, and attention that pets with special needs may require. I’ve always been the person animals seem to gravitate toward wherever I go. My mom has jokingly called me the “cat whisperer” for years, especially! I truly love getting to know each pet’s personality and making sure they feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for while their humans are away. I am self-employed and make my own schedule - I am very flexible so I am able to work from virtually anywhere and at any time, so fitting in any set care is very easy! I always want to make sure I earn the trust, respect, and love of the pets by being gentle, caring, and loving and showing them they can trust me. This often looks like some extra cuddles, a treat, some play time during quick drop-ins etc! There's nothing better than earning a fur baby's trust :)
“Kristopher was great! He came over a few days early to meet our dogs Chase and Charlie. Both dogs warmed up to him immediately. Kristopher was great with communication and I loved the daily photos. I would recommend Kristopher to anyone needing a dog sitter.”
About: Hi there! I grew up surrounded by animals, so taking care of pets comes naturally to me. From dogs and cats to hamsters, guinea pigs, rabbits, and birds, I’ve had hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Whether it's feeding, walking, or simply offering companionship, I understand the unique needs of each pet and always provide them with the love and attention they deserve. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and can ensure they feel safe and comfortable while you're away. Your pet will be in great hands with me, whether it's a relaxing cuddle session or an active playtime adventure! I’m excited to offer reliable, trustworthy, and compassionate pet sitting services. Let me help take the stress out of leaving your pet behind – they'll be in good hands! I work 9-6 M-F with an hour lunch break. I live in very close proximity to my job, so easy for me to drop in. I don’t have a yard, but my complex has a dog park. The neighborhood is full of pets and everyone’s friendly. I love going on walks so that’s something we will do. I love to play with animals. I don’t mind sleeping with animals, or them being on furniture. I do keep my home clean & sanitized.
About: I have hands-on experience caring for dogs and other animals through walks, drop-in visits, overnight stays, feeding, medication, and lots of one-on-one attention. I’m comfortable following each pet’s normal routine and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their family is away. I also make communication a priority and provide thoughtful updates and photos so pet parents can feel at ease. I’m patient with different personalities and energy levels, whether your pet loves long walks and playtime or would rather curl up and relax. I treat every pet like they’re my own and take their care, safety, and happiness seriously. Pet care fits naturally into my routine, and I make sure every booking gets the time and attention it deserves. I plan my schedule carefully so I’m never rushing through visits, walks, feeding, playtime, or cuddles. I also do my best to stay flexible when pet parents need a little extra help. Your pet’s safety and comfort always come first. When I’m caring for pets in their own home, I follow their usual routine as closely as possible and pay attention to the little things, like their behavior, eating, water, bathroom habits, and overall mood. I keep doors, gates, leashes, and surroundings secure, follow all care instructions carefully, and send updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

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.
