“Jennifer was awesome checking in on my 2 cats while I was away at a conference. We texted and also spoke via phone about each cat’s need, how they may respond with a new person, and my expectations. She spent the time of the short check in to ensure they were fed, watered, and did play time with them. She also kept me apprised the entire time. I plan to use her in the future and highly recommend her!”
“This was our first time with Olivia looking after our cat, and we will for sure be contacting her again! Super responsive, provided lots of updates and pictures, overall fantastic sitter. Thank you for taking great care of Hannah!”
About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and currently have a 5 year old poochon of my own. Caring for dogs has always been a natural part of my life, and I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. Whether it’s overnight care, house sitting, drop-ins, or walks, I’ll make sure your dog receives plenty of attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I am currently in an online grad school program, so my schedule is fairly flexible. Because I complete most of my coursework from home, I have the ability to provide consistent care, attention, and companionship throughout the day. As a dog owner myself, pet care is already a natural part of my daily routine. I believe pets are happiest when their routine stays consistent, so I do my best to follow each owner’s care instructions closely. Whether that means walks, playtime, feeding schedules, medications, or simply spending quality time together, I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs. My goal is to help pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in their own home while providing owners with peace of mind.
“Erin was so awesome! She was a great communicator, sent great pictures and kept us updated on every visit. She took good care of our pup and made sure she was comfortable and happy!”
“Disha is AMAZING! She was able to bond with my very grumpy older cat from the beginning. Even though he normally hides from strangers, Disha had him literally eating out of her hand & purring from the 2nd day! She sent me pics and videos of each of her visits, so I wouldn't worry. I highly recommend Disha to anyone who wants their pet to be loved & catered to while they are away. If we could give her 10 stars, we would!”

Trust me, your pups will wag their tails with joy!
“Alexia was the best! Very professional and caring. She watched our (anxious) hound when we were on vacation in Harper’s Ferry. We are from another state, didn’t know the area and didn’t have definite plans until we arrived. Alexia was flexible and understanding. She responded to text quickly and followed all directions. Most importantly our dog loved her! She is a gem. Highly recommend!!”

“Nick did a terrific job watching my cat while i was away, made sure her food and water bowls were replenished, even scooped her litter every day! Everything went very well- grateful for the overall care he took during the process.”
“Heather is AMAZING!! We are truly blessed to have found her! I was worried that no one would want to take on four Siberian Huskies, two of them being puppies! She genuinely cares about them and goes above and beyond to see that they are shown lots of love and affection. I would highly recommend Heather, especially if you’re a worried dog parent who hates to leave their four legged babies. She has put my mind at ease knowing they are well cared for.”
“My three kitties were well taken care of. Luna, my moo cat, loves her. Jean-Luc welcomes her and loves his treats. My third kitty hides regardless of who visits but Alex always gets a picture of her.”
About: I've shared my life with animals for years — I raised several dogs and wolves, so I'm very comfortable with large, high-energy breeds. Right now I pet-sit in my own home: a neighbor's dog and a neighbor's cat, plus I regularly care for a neighbor's giant Labrador — walks, feeding and playtime. I offer dog walking, drop-in visits and boarding in a safe, loving home. I'm reliable, patient and flexible with schedules, and I always keep owners updated with photos and messages. Your dog will be treated like family. I'm currently between jobs, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of time to dedicate to your pets. I'm available for boarding, day care, walks and drop-in visits seven days a week, including weekends and holidays. I can easily adjust to your pet's routine — early mornings, midday walks or evening care. Just let me know what you need. Your pet's safety comes first. In my home, pets get constant supervision, a clean and calm space, fresh water at all times, and feeding exactly on their routine. I'm experienced with large, high-energy dogs as well as cats, and I know how to read their body language to keep them comfortable. I send regular photo and video updates so you always know how your pet is doing. In your home, I follow your instructions to the letter and leave everything as I found it.
About: As a child, my household had many pets through the years, which led me to volunteer at an animal shelter while in college. Around that time I also worked with animals, at a pet shop and later with a conservation group. I adore pets and always insure they feel safe and comfortable with me. I am able to read a their body language and communicate well both verbally and nonverbally. I have attended dog training classes, read multiple books about caring for pets, and watched videos for further education. At the same time, every animal is different and has their own unique personality, and it’s a joy and reward to get to know each one. I have had pets in the past, but because I travel often and enjoy pet sitting so much I find just as much joy in taking care of my clients' animals! Currently I am converting a van into a camper to continue traveling the country and meeting as many cool cats (and dogs!) as I can :) While I may not be able to provide sitting services in every location long term, I believe I bring a love of animals and joy to each sit that makes sure every pet I care for is happy and each client feels peace of mind while they are away! I am self-employed, so my schedule is quite flexible to accommodate your pets' usual routines! I may be in and out throughout the day, but I always discuss first what is normal for your pet and how I can best replicate their home life. I care for pets in my clients' homes, and I follow all written/verbal instructions given to me on pet & home care. I treat the animals and home as if they were my own, and if I have any questions I never hesitate to reach out. I am a tidy person, often a homebody in the evenings, and maintain a high level of respect for both my clients and their lovely pets.
“We went away for Spring break and Emelyn came 4 times per day to take care of our foster dogs. 5 puppies and one mom dog. She did great and I was glad to have her helping us!”
“What a pleasure to have Abigail take care of our older guy. She came over to meet him before their time together. She took great photos of him (which he won’t let me do). She took extra care of our super senior. We can’t wait to have her back again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shannondale
Lydia was absolutely wonderful! My boyfriend and I have ZERO complaints about Lydia's service; we were able to relax and have no worries on our trip knowing that our fur babies were in Lydia's good hands! I loved getting pictures every drop in just to ensure that our cats were being well taken care of!
First time using Rover and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. Sydnie was great. She visited our outdoor cat for 30 minutes/day for a week, ensuring he had food and fresh water. It was such a relief having her visit with photo check-ins - it allowed us to enjoy our vacation without worrying about his wellbeing. She even stopped by twice in one day because she didn’t see the cat on the first visit. We will definitely use her again and you should feel confident booking with her.

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.
