“I booked for daily drop in visits for my cat during a vacation away from home. Jennifer was so great at responding quickly and giving daily updates. The updates were detailed and came with multiple pictures, which I appreciated so much while being so far away from our cat! My cat (who is VERY shy with strangers) warmed up to Jennifer in no time and was so happy when she came to visit her every day. She truly went above and beyond to make sure our cat was comfortable and taken care of. She cleaned up after my cat had an accident and opened up our sliding glass doors so our cat could enjoy the fresh air! I feel Jennifer truly respects and loves animals and you should not hesitate to book with her. Your pet will certainly be loved and cared for. Thank you Jennifer!!”
“I am so grateful to Gwynne! She took AMAZING care of our girls. We were worried about leaving them for so long and she relieved our anxiety completely. She truly shows compassion and care. You can tell She truly loves animals. Will absolutely 1000% use her again!”
“Gia was absolutely amazing! She cared for my two dogs over 3 days—17-year-old River, who is handicapped and in diapers, and 5-year-old Teddy, who’s very skittish—with incredible patience and love. She handled diaper changes with ease, gave Teddy the gentle attention he needed, and was always punctual. The thoughtful updates and sweet photos gave me total peace of mind. My dogs were happy, safe, and clearly loved her. I couldn’t have asked for better care. Truly five-star service!”
“I would rehire Adam for any Pet related service I need in the future. He took good care of my two cats, one with special needs. He followed directions and did what was asked of him and kept me updated. Couldn’t ask for anymore. thanks Adam. I’ll keep you in mind for the future.”
“This was our first time using Rover and Kennedy was awesome ! She was caring , responsive and on time ! The dogs loved having her. We will definitely be using her again for our fur babies .”
About: I’ve loved and owned cats and dogs through every phase of my life, making animal care second nature to me. As an extremely empathetic and caring person, I treat every pet like family. I absolutely love snuggling kitties and promise to give your fur baby all the patience, warmth, and attention they deserve! I work from Monday to Thursday each week, so I'm available after 5pm on those days. On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, I am always free to spend time with your furry friend. As a pregnant mom living in an apartment, I'm currently only available for walks and drop-in visits with cats and dogs (up to medium size). I'm also open to caring for small animals and exotic pets - feel free to message me and ask!
About: Hi, I'm Missy! I've been caring for animals my entire life and owned my own pet-sitting business, Pet Sitting by Missy, since 2014. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to senior pets who need extra patience and attention. I understand that every pet is unique, and I take the time to learn their routines, personalities, and special needs. I have experience administering medications, caring for senior pets, and providing comfort to anxious animals. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals, reliability, and dedication to treating every pet as if they were my own. I know how important trust is when leaving your pets in someone else's care, and I pride myself on being dependable, attentive, and compassionate. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide dependable care, attention, exercise, feeding, and companionship throughout the day. I understand the importance of consistency for pets and strive to maintain their normal routines as closely as possible. Whether it's morning walks, midday check-ins, evening visits, or overnight care, I make sure each pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. When caring for pets in a client's home, I focus on keeping them comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. I follow all instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and any special needs. I provide plenty of attention, playtime, companionship, and updates so owners can feel confident their pets are safe and well cared for while they are away. Safety is always my top priority. I pay close attention to pets' behavior, ensure doors and gates are secure, and make sure they are supervised appropriately. I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would expect for my own.
“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ So grateful for the amazing care my pup has received! Thank you Bri for being so accommodating on short notice and for always responding so quickly.

“Reilly was so great with our girl Piper. From our initial meet and greet to the drop ins she was extremely accommodating and understanding, even when we had a hiccup with access to our property. She even left us a little goodie bag for Piper. We will be booking with her again in the future!”
“Anna demonstrates exceptional ability with my pups, showing patience, kindness, and a thorough comprehension of their behaviors, and attentively catering to their needs.”
“Thank you so much Jessica for taking such amazing care of my babies. Your messages were so funny and well written. My trip was very peaceful and relaxing and all the more so because I had someone so caring it made me feel such peace of mind knowing someone like you was looking after my fur babies! I looked forward everyday to reading your daily updates in the notes on rover. I'm glad my cat Gizmo got the chance to boss somebody else around for a change lol.”
“May did a fantastic job with my pets while I was gone. I have two large dogs and four cats. She eased all my anxiety while I was away. Would definitely recommend her and use her services again”
About: I’ve been a dog lover my entire life. One of my earliest memories is begging my parents for a dog until they relented and got me a free puppy from the classifieds in the newspaper (yes, I am that old)! Over my life time, I’ve been privileged to take care of five dogs. They ranged in size from a 10 pound poodle mix to a 150 pound St. Bernard. My current fur babies are a rambunctious lab mix and two pampered house. cats As a pet owner, I know the importance of having reliable and trustworthy sitters to take care of my fur babies when I am out of town. I am that person who writes long and detailed instructions about feeding schedules, medications, and who to call in case of an emergency. Most afternoons, I am available to take your dog(s) for a walk, feed your cat(s), or just check on your house when you are away. I will text or email you updates with photos. I will take care of your fur babies and respect your home as if they were my own.
“Jill was amazing! She cared for our dogs like they were her own. I have 2 very different dogs with different needs and she was great for both. I have an older dog who needs love and slowness while the other is a younger hyper pup who needs alllllll the love and walking and energy. Jill sent photos while I was away. She took the worry away of being away from my babies!”
“Andrew comes highly recommended. He is extremely dependable, thorough, and spends every minute of that window with your pet. He is very communicative, flexible, and further, is a consummate professional. Your pet is in good hands and to this day we take advantage of his availability every time we get the opportunity.”
“Kim communicated, was helpful, and extraordinarily caring! I know my boys were well taken care of and we are happy to have her sit anytime! She sent us pictures and even bought in our mail! Thank you Kim!!”
About: I grew up with dogs and cats as pets, so have lifelong experience caring for animals. My family owned a small farm for a period of time, so I also gained experience with horses in addition to cats and dogs. We owned a German Shepard and a cockapoo, so I do have direct experience with both smaller and larger dogs. In high school, I took 4 years of animal science, which further advanced my knowledge of pets and gave me hands on experience in a pre-veterinarian science atmosphere. I plan on returning to school in the near future to further my studies in the animal sciences field and pursue a career as a Veterinarian Technician. I have had a life full of loving animals and live to care for them any way I can.
About: I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in Pet Care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the past year. I do have a full time job. I am available to do a quick lunch time walk (location is a factor for a lunch time walk) after 4pm M,T, Th,F. Sorry I’m not available on Wednesday’s I volunteer at a local animal rescue 😊 Saturdays and Sundays I am flexible I’d be happy to work with you regarding any specific safety needs for your pet(s)! I would go over everything with you at our meet and greet.

Adam did a wonderful job caring for our dogs when we were away. He went above and beyond to make sure they felt comfortable and loved.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Shavertown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

- 100% can help with daily exercise

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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
