“Chastity helped with drop-in visits for our two cats for a week while my partner and I were away, and she did an AMAZING job! Both cats were fed, groomed, played with, and loved on in our absence. She provided tons of pictures, left our placed clean, and even took a package in for us. She went above and beyond for our cats, and we would book with her in a heartbeat in the future!”
“Caroline was a wonderful sitter for our dog and cat! She made sure they had everything they needed + went the extra mile to give plenty of snugs to our clingy pittie and get our shy orange guy to warm up to her. Prompt check-ins, communications, and updates — would highly recommend her and will be booking again in the future!”
About: I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. I grew up in a home where we always had at least 2 dogs, and I now have a cat of my own, Colby, who I am in LOVE with. Being around animals has always been a big part of my life, and I genuinely love getting to know their different personalities. I’ve regularly cared for friends’ and family members’ cats and dogs throughout my life, so I’m comfortable with everything from feeding, walks, playtime, and of course caring for every animal with love and care. As a pet parent myself, I know how important it is to feel confident and comfortable that your pet is in good hands. I treat every animal I care for like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe and loved! I am between jobs at the moment, so I have full availability! Until I find a full time position, I’m free to care for your pet on any day, at any time. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I do my best to stick to their usual routines so they feel as comfortable as possible. I’ll follow any specific instructions regarding feeding, walks, playtime, medications, and anything else your pet might need. I also understand that every animal has their own personality, so I’m happy to adjust to their specific needs. I’m also respectful of my clients’ homes and make sure everything is left clean and tidy. I’d love to send pictures and updates so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and in good hands. Both you and your pet feeling comfortable is the ultimate priority!
“Charlotte was wonderful with my Fran! I have never felt so comfortable leaving my cat in the care of another person. Charlotte gave great updates and pictures that made me feel like my friend was cat sitting for me. I will definitely book with her again!”
“This was our first experience with Rover.com. I really like the way the app is organized and receiving notifications with updates. Megan was wonderful. She was thorough in caring for our two senior dogs. She updated us every time she dropped in and sent pictures. I will definitely continue booking with Megan and Rover.com.”
“Stephen is so kind and professional and my kitties loved spending time with him! It is so hard to find someone you feel comfortable with coming into your home and taking care of your pets, so very thankful for Stephen!”
“What a wonderful experience I had with Tricia. It was my first time using Rover and Tricia gave all the TLC my cat wanted! ‘Nanda warmed up to Tricia and there was no turning back after that! I felt worry free with each of Tricia’s two daily visits. Every visit was well documented and the photos were so sweet that Tricia always made sure to send.”
“Edward is the best cat-sitter we've ever had. He is prompt, our cat Ferdinand absolutely loves him (demonstrated through many friendly headbutts!), and Edward always sends us pictures and videos of Ferdinand, his food, clean litter boxes, etc. Whenever we travel, we really have complete peace of mind knowing that Edward is taking care of Ferdinand.”
“Joseph was so great & communicative! So helpful and prompt when taking our old guy out every day. Our dog is very picky with who he likes and he took to Joseph immediately! Will definitely us again.”
“Sarah did a couple drop-in visits to watch my dog, and I couldn’t be happier with how it went. She sent regular updates with pictures, tired him out with fetch and lots of attention, and did great with the house lock up instructions. I can’t wait to use her again the next time I’m away!”
“Ellen was fantastic with Clover. She came to do a “Meet and Greet” and then we walked Clover to the park. Clover immediately took to Ellen, and I would not hesitate to have her watch Clover again. I would highly recommend!”
“Taylor was so great and did a wonderful job with our two pups. She was always very prompt and consistently sent me updates on how they were doing. When we got back home we could tell the dogs had a great time and we’re well taken cared of.”
“Hazel did a really great job watching our cat and our dog. Our dog is reactive and has lots of energy and Hazel listened to our instructions and made sure he was safe and well taken cared of. She also made sure our house was cared for. I’ve had sitters in the past that just watched our pets and came home to a home that felt dirty and uncared for but it was nice to come home to a house that was clean and not a complete disaster from the pets. She sent photos and kept us updated on them both. Will definitely book her again when we go out of town”
“Yaniera was amazing! She was so attentive to Shiv and her needs. She also put so much attention to detail, even left a little treat for my cat. I felt so comfortable knowing she was there to care for my 2 year old energetic cat while I was away and will definitely be re-booking for an upcoming trip.”
“Angela was so great with our puppy Boone!! He had so much fun playing with her, and she kept us updated with so many pictures which was much appreciated! Would definitely recommend!!”
“Kaydee took extra good care of my very senior boy who was in a splint/cast and required some additional gear and handling before going out. She left my place spotless, had great communication, and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Schuylkill
Amanda was excellent with our cat. Excellent communication, lots of pictures, timely updates, flexibility as our plans changed slightly, and detailed check-ins made the process seamless. This was our first time using Rover, so Amanda put our mind at ease and we were able to trust her to be a great friend and cat sitter for our cat. Would definitely choose Amanda anytime :-)
Gianna took fantastic care of my cats! I have one cat that’s really shy and she warmed up to Gianna pretty quickly! She stayed in touch with me throughout my entire trip & sent me pictures of my girls everyday! I’ll definitely be reaching out In the future to book again!
Kate was great! They made every step of the process easy and we were never worried about our cat during our trip. They gave a lot of details after each of their visits so we knew how Vanilla was doing, and a lot of pictures as well! Thank you so much for taking care of him!

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.
