“Alex did great helping with our two dogs while we were away. Great communication, on-time visits, and ensured they were well taken care of. He even placed our garbage cans in the street for trash day. Highly recommend!”
“Ashley was wonderful! She took on our cats at the last minute and made she everything was taken care of. She was very sweet and even brought in some packages off my porch. My cats and I thank you!”
“This is was our first time using Rover, and was a little hesitant to try. Shirley was super helpful explaining how things work, and really made it so we did not have to worry about our cat while we were on vacation. The little notes and pictures sent daily were awesome, and we felt like Shirley really cared. I would 100% recommend her, and will definitely be seeing if she is available for future trips.”
About: Having 4 friendly dogs, I can confidently say I've built my schedule to accommodate furry friends! I work from home so I'm flexible and available most hours of the day to take care of pets. We have a Poodle, two Cavapoos, and a Bernese Mountain Dog. Please note; I am breeding my Poodle and Bernese, so if you have adult unfixed dogs, daycare/boarding at my place may not be for you. I work from home as a Director of Reporting and Analytics, this gives me a lot of flexibility to control my schedule and accommodate pets. I have a fenced yard, but it's a half fence so not ideal for large jumpers. Our 4 dogs will love to keep your pup(s) company and play. Two crates available when needed.
“Amanda was so great! I needed someone last minute to check in on my puppy and she was so accommodating. Wally loved her and she took great care of him and was great at sharing updates. I will absolutely book with her again.”
“I was super anxious to leave my fur babies for a week but Isabelle took such good care of them. I checked my petcams and they were happy and I really appreciated the daily report cards. I will definitely book Isabelle again because I know I can trust her to love and care for my "kids" and that means so much to me.”
“Niki did an absolutely amazing job dropping in to take care of my plants and cats! She sent me detailed updates and pictures each day, and I had so much peace knowing everything was taken care of so thoughtfully. My cats are very stranger shy, and I was so happy to see that they were social and relaxed during her visits. Thank you!!”
“Thank you Mary ! We had to leave for a trip on a short notice and lucky for us Mary was available to take care of our two corgis. Mary took a great care of our fur babies. One of our dogs is in her senior year so she can’t walk very far. Mary brought over her own stroller so that our senior dog could go enjoy the fresh air. We are so thankful. We will definitely ask Mary to take care of our babies again. THANK YOU”

“Mariah was excellent with our dog Tahla and was able to help dog sit her with little time in advance thanks to her good communication and willingness to help. She was timely with her check-ins, followed directions well, and took good photos of Tahla each visit.”
“Monica took such good care of my two cats while I was away for a month and a half! She came by my house and took care of everything they needed, plus sent me message updates and cute photos of them playing. I was nervous about leaving them for so long but I felt good knowing Monica was trustworthy, responsible and cared about my cats as much as I do.”

I always trust that Lindsey will care for my elderly kitty who needs insulin shots twice daily. I have boarded my cat with Lindsey and also booked for drop in visits. I have been very pleased with both arrangements. Lindsey is responsible and trustworthy. She sends me photos every time. I highly recommend Lindsey for pet care.
Shirley took excellent care of my cat while I was out of town for a few days. She was extremely communicative, provided lots of pictures, and my shy cat seemed to come out of his shell for her! I’m so grateful for the peace of mind she provided while I was gone! I’d recommend Shirley to anyone, and I’d definitely book her again in the future. Thank you Shirley!
We had a wonderful experience! Lela took amazing care of our dogs, Marlie and Theo, and kept us well updated so we had complete peace of mind. Lela was also so responsive and kind with accommodating any of our needs or change of plans. It’s clear she truly loves animals, and we will be booking her again. Highly recommend! 💛
Jose and Jessica did an amazing job taking care of Betty and Jughead while I was on vacation! They were reliable, communicative and gave me complete peace of mind knowing my pets were in such caring hands. They followed all of my instructions perfectly, and I came home to two very happy, well-cared-for pets. I truly appreciate everything they did and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy pet sitters. Thank you both so much!
Niki did an absolutely amazing job dropping in to take care of my plants and cats!

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 .

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.
