“Jennifer is reliable and makes sure our cats are fed and played with every time she visits. We plan to continue to book her whenever we need help! Thanks Jennifer! (I am a Rover employee)”
“Danielle takes great care of my fur babies. It’s always stressful to leave them but knowing they’re safe and secure is very reassuring. Thanks Danielle.”
About: I have been watching the dogs and cats of friends and family since I was in middle school, and have stayed overnight with a 6 month old puppy to make sure she was comfortable. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my number 1 priority. I always make sure to open the door slowly and make sure your pet can’t escape, and will follow any tips and tricks you provide as an owner. Please consider me when you’re planning your next trip, scheduling your next walk, or just want someone reliable to check in on your pup or kitty! I work full time and am always on call, but I have three dogs at home and make sure I can make time for the fur babies! I always ensure dogs are as at-home as possible and move at their pace, whether they need a run or just to hop outside and then curl back on the couch.
“Audrey is professional and polite. My German Shepherd warmed up to her quickly - that has only happened a handful of times! Audrey arrived on time and took great care of my pups.”
“I'm so glad I found Julia. With a total of 7 cats (I foster some) I really needed someone who would be able to handle different needs. Some needed medication and they each have such differing personalities. Julia was very communicative throughout the entire care and would provide me with photos and a summary of every visit. Would definitely hire her again and recommend her to anyone looking for pet care 100%! Thank you so much, Julia!”
About: I’ve been fostering pets for SCRAPs for the past two years, but having those little squirts living at my house 2-3 weeks at a time was getting to be a bit much! I’m mostly interested in doing this so I can have more dog time with a little less responsibility, haha! My forever babies are a black cat named Jet and a border collie named Zo, both rescues. The kitten will pretty much stay out of the way of the dogs (she thinks she’s too good...hah!) but my dog is the friendliest girl. She’s high energy, so I’m quite used to long walks and games of fetch. If your dog seems tireless, I have plenty of experience there! If you have any questions, please let me know!
About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover, self-appointed professional cat whisperer, and firm believer that every pet deserves VIP treatment while you’re away! I volunteer at SCRAPS Animal Shelter, so I’m used to everything from cuddle bugs to “don’t look at me” gremlins. At home, I’m proudly managed by my 13-year-old cat, Mr. Meowgi, who runs the household with an iron paw. Whether your pet wants playtime, snuggles and snacks, or just someone to admire them from a far, I’ve got it covered! Don’t worry, your plant babies will get some love too! 🌱 I have a flexible schedule which gives me plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve! I’m available all throughout the week for drop-ins, walks, playtime, snuggles, and keeping your pet’s normal routine on track. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own while respecting their home, routine, and boundaries. I’m happy to follow detailed instructions for feeding, litter boxes, walks, medications, playtime, and anything else that keeps them happy and comfortable. I’ll also send plenty of updates and photos so you know your fur baby is in good hands!

“Kathryn was an excellent choice to do drop in checks feeding and litter box cleaning while we were away. She sent us photos of each visit and a check list of what was done including time of arrival and departure. We highly reccomend her and we hope she'll be available to when we have to be away again.”
About: I’m a reliable animal lover who enjoys making sure pets are happy and comfortable while their owners are away. I offer drop-in visits to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, playtime, walks if requested, medications (if needed), and lots of attention.

About: I have taken care of dogs and cats of every kind for about 10 years now. My neighbors and friends would always hire me to watch or walk their family pets! I currently have a pretty flexible job so I am flexible when it comes to weekdays, weekday evenings I am especially flexible! Weekends are pretty open for me too!! I grew up loving to take care of friends’ and neighbors animals, and our family pets! I will always make sure pets are taken care of and have what they need!
“Melissa takes great care of our cats and chickens! She provides us with informative updates and photos. We can rest easy while we are travelling knowing that Melissa has things handled.”
About: I’m patient, caring, dependable, reliable and take my dog out on walks every day. I work from home so I will be with your beloved pet at all times. I work from home and have one dog who I walk daily. Most of my time is spent with my dog and if your dog stays with us, they will be with us all day. I do live in an apartment, however, I am active and attentive so I can provide a lot of activity outdoors or spend time with your dog indoors if that’s what they prefer.
About: I have had several puppies through the past 20 years and I also work with the local shelter, fostering dog/cat litters and volunteer walking dogs. I've potty trained them and taught them basic commands with marker training, such as sit, stay, off and come. I also have experience with reactive dogs, our own are adopted litter mates that are dog, people and leash reactive. My husband takes care of our dogs while I am watching yours. I am caring, responsible and guarantee I will take excellent care of your loved ones while you are away! I am confident that if your dog is working on potty training, I can instill and reinforce that behavior. I love going on long walks or runs and would take your pet for fun at the park if they are comfortable with that setting. I work contract to contract and am now free during the entire day to watch your pets. I like to go outside every few hours, sometimes a long walk in the afternoon. With puppies, I go outside every half hour to an hour and reinforce potty training with treats and excitement.
About: For the past two decades, I've dedicated my time to caring for my own dogs and assisting in the well-being of family and friends' pets during their absences. Engaging with these animals outdoors brings me immense joy, as I cherish the unique connection formed with each individual. Witnessing the special bond that animals forge with us, just as we are, has been a consistently rewarding experience throughout my years of animal care. Incorporating pet sitting into my routine seamlessly aligns with my full-time job, as I dedicate my lunch break to check on pets. This ensures they receive a midday break, creating an environment where they can enjoy their evenings engaging in activities or simply relaxing, fostering a stronger bond. I specialize in caring for pets within the comfort of their own homes. This familiar environment allows them to feel at ease in their daily routines. I meticulously follow provided care instructions, ensuring the owners feel reassured about their pets' well-being while they are away.
“Jenn was amazing! This was our first time leaving our cat alone, and I was so nervous. During the Meet & Greet, seeing how genuinely caring she was, and how well she interacted with him, put our minds at ease. She took excellent care of him, and we looked forward to her daily updates. She's definitely our top choice for pet sitting.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Scribner
Tautiana came out to help me clip my dogs' nails. My daughter's usually the one that helps with this task but she's out of town. One little dog is fine with this task, but the other historically just screams like he's being murdered the entire time. I prepared Tautiana for the worst, sure it would be traumatizing for everyone. Imagine my shock when little Milton settled in better than he ever has. He's still screamed a little, but overall her calm and comforting demeanor made the task take half the time it usually does. I couldn't believe it, but was so happy! Tautiana just has a way with animals, and it made the task a breeze.

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.
