“Pam was very patient with my individual requests and prompt and responding to my text messages. She is a professional, timely and sent reports with photos every day. I would hire her to walk my dogs again.”
“Our girls are tough with new people but they LOVED Ashley so much. She played with them and loved on them more than we do and they were so awesome when we got home! They had the best time with her and I would highly recommend using her!!”
“Last minute situation that would not allow the furrbabes to come. She was prompt & friendly (and took great pics). I was a little concerned being a 1st time user. Will definitely use in the future.”
About: Animals have always been part of my life, from small pets to cats and dogs with all sorts of personality. My chihuahua is my little sidekick and does wonderfully with other pets. I’ve helped care for many friends’ and family members’ fur babies, and I’m committed to giving your pet the same comfort and attention I give my own. I work a typical 9 to 4 during the week, but I have flexibility on my lunch break for quick check‑ins when needed. I’m generally available after 5 PM for walks or visits, and my weekends are wide open for sitting, longer stays, or extra adventures and playtime. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m happy to adjust when I can to make sure your fur babies gets the attention they need. I have a clean, secure fenced‑in backyard that gives dogs plenty of space to relax, explore, and play safely. I live in a quiet culdesac neighborhood that’s not too busy, so walks are easy, calm, and enjoyable for pups of all energy levels. My own chihuahua is friendly, social, and great company for visiting pets. I also have an extra room with toys and a crate that can comfortably fit a medium‑sized dog if needed, so your pet will always have a cozy space of their own.
“What can I say? Austin was fantastic. He read our notes on our profile before he showed up, which was impressive. His excitement to meet the animals, which means a lot to us because they're kids, means more than the drop-ins. We wish we found him earlier. If you want someone who is very sharp and very on top of his visits, please don't look anywhere else. Austin is your guy!”
“Kelsie replied quickly to my request to take care of my babies while I had to be away. She was on time and from the looks of the pictures and her comments my babies really enjoyed her company.”
“Cassie was amazing!! She took such great care of Berkeley and he loved having her kiddos help out too!! I was so happy to receive each update - Cassie is detailed and always had a good picture to send when we’re missing our boy 🥰”
“Lauren was wonderful and I cannot stress that enough!!! It felt so good to be gone on vacation knowing that she was there to take care of all of our fur babies. They were happy healthy and so happy in every picture she sent. She did an amazing job. She sent pictures every day and messages with any updates on how they’re doing and what they did. (Good or bad LOL) I will definitely be using Lauren in the future and I will certainly recommend her for anyone in my area that needs a great pet sitter. Lauren thank you so much!!! You are soooooooooo amazing!!!”
“Elizabeth is great—does all requested care items and shares photos of what she’s done for my senior kitties. She has been available on very short notice as well! Highly recommend!”
“We were in a pinch and needed a dog sitter last minute, and Karynne truly saved the day. (On a holiday at that.) She got back to us right away, was so kind, and treated our pup like her own. Would highly recommend!”
“Jan was great! Will definitely request her services in the future. She cared for my 5 cats including giving insulin injections to my 9 year old diabetic cat. I felt comfortable with her being in my home and know she loved on them while I was gone. Thanks again!”
“I chose Ciara based on her other client reviews and was very happy I did! She was prompt for our meet and greet and did everything perfectly during her visit with our two dogs. She was reliable and very sweet. I highly recommend her!!”
“Best sitter! She took care of my 3 cats for 5 days. Followed all food, water, litterbox, and play instructions. Lots of pics and videos sent. She even cleaned up the glass my cat broke! And she fed my aquarium with shrimp for me. Definitely will hire again if I need another sitter before I move :) Thanks, Casey!”
“Brianna was such a life saver. I know it can be overwhelming with my pit bulls but she handled everything so gracefully. One of my pups had an accident in her cage which is so unusual but Brianna went above and beyond to clean her and the cage out for me. I’m blessed to have had an amazing Rover helper. She is awesome! She adjusted to the pups so well. I’m sure they miss her already! Will definitely recommend her services!”
“Angela was AMAZING!! Not only did she watch our two Ragdolls over the Christmas holiday, but she was so responsive to their specific dietary needs (one has prescription food) and their individual personalities. Angela is herself a cat owner and it shows! Prompt, kind, professional, and exceeded our expectations. We can’t wait to book her in the future!”
“Philana is a true professional while also being very personable. She took great care of my 3 cats, plants, and was considerate in brining in a delivery. I booked with her very short notice, the day before, and she truly exceeded my expectations! Very thankful to her and the care she provided. 10/10 recommend!”

Jasmine was awesome and I would definitely use her services for my outdoor cat again! She made sure to send me detailed updates every day along with pictures. She is very friendly, great with animals, and easy to talk to, I would recommend her to anyone who needs help caring for their pets!
5/5 Stars – Highly Recommended! Elizabeth did an absolutely wonderful job taking care of my cat. From our very first interaction, it was clear that she is a true animal lover who treats pets with the utmost care and respect. She was incredibly reliable and followed all feeding and care instructions perfectly. What I appreciated most were the regular updates and photos she sent, which gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. My cat, who can sometimes be shy around new people, warmed up to her and enjoyed her attention. Elizabeth went above and beyond to make sure my cat felt safe, loved, and comfortable. I cannot thank Elizabeth enough for her exceptional service. I will absolutely be hiring her again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate pet sitter!
Tara is an amazing sitter for our fur babies. She is very knowledgeable and comfortable with the dogs. The dogs loved her from the moment they met her. She was fantastic in making sure our older dog took her medicine. I really appreciate that she took the time to play with them during her visits. We loved getting updates and knew our pups were in great hands. I would highly recommend Tara if you want someone who will love your dogs as much as you do.
John is one of the most courteous and caring people I have met in awhile. Roxie loved him immediately and she is not always loving toward people. She loved his visits and was obviously in great spirits when we got home. I could watch them play in out backyard on our Ring camera. Thank you, John you are highly prized, and recommended for anyone in the Selma area.

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.
