“This was my first booking and I'm very happy! I'm pretty anxious about leaving my dogs for a day or more with anyone. Not just new people, friends and family as well since anything can happen. Both of my dogs have chronic health conditions so it's easy to cause them to flare up. There were no issues at all with their health or anything. Christopher made me feel very comfortable and even came over the day before to meet me and my pups. My GSD is 100lbs so he can be intimidating, it really soothed me to see that he was comfortable with that. He and his wife also took both of them for a couple walks during 2 of the 4 drop in visits! I'm sure my dogs absolutely loved that and my GSD pulls like a mushing dog on a leash. I can definitely recommend Chris for care of your dogs”

“Corinne is truely an exceptional Pet Sitter. She was our best Christmas present, as we booked her last minute (after a scheduled visit was cancelled). Our 20 yr. old kitty, normally pretty shy with strangers, fell in love with her on 1st meeting and let Corinne hold & pet her on every visit. She was the best communicator, sending lots of pictures and short messages. We are so happy and thankful to have found Corinne and will definitely book her again!”

“Couldn’t be happier with Halie with my fur babies. I trust her in my home and with my babies. Love that Rover allows her to provide pics and the amount of potty/pee breaks while she is there. Also has her check in and check out when her visit is complete. Highly recommend Rover and Halie 100%!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting and caring for dogs and cats for over 20 years, and I can genuinely say there are few things that make me happier than getting to know a new furry friend. I currently run my own pet-sitting business and have been incredibly lucky to build a wonderful little family of happy pets, repeat clients, and pet parents who trust me with their babies. I know every pet is their own little person! Some want to play fetch until your arm falls off, some want to be your shadow, some would happily spend the entire visit getting belly rubs, and others need a little extra patience and time before deciding you’re worthy of their friendship. I love learning all of those little quirks and keeping their normal routines as familiar and comfortable as possible while their people are away. I have experience with dogs and cats of different ages, sizes, personalities, and needs, including multi-pet households and routine oral and topical medications. And because I know how much you miss your babies when you’re apart, I’m a BIG believer in sending plenty of photos and updates along the way! Your pets won’t just be fed, walked, and checked on…they’ll get conversation, playtime, companionship, scratches, cuddles, and plenty of love. My goal is for you to be able to enjoy your trip or get through your workday knowing your pets are safe, comfortable, happy, and being genuinely cared for. Loving Your Pets Like They’re My Own isn’t just my slogan, it’s exactly what I try to do with every animal entrusted to me. 💕🐾 Pet sitting is already a regular part of my weekly routine, and I currently have a very flexible schedule that allows me to devote plenty of time to the pets in my care. I’m available weekdays, evenings, weekends, and overnight, and can often accommodate extended stays as well. Whether your pet needs a quick drop-in, some company during a long workday, or someone to stay with them while you’re away, I love being able to plan my schedule around their normal routine. When I’m caring for your babies, they’re never treated like something I need to “fit in.” Spending time with them is the best part of my day! 💕 I provide care in my clients’ homes because I believe pets are often happiest and most comfortable in their own familiar environment. I take the time to learn each pet’s normal routine, personality, feeding and potty schedule, favorite activities, medication needs, and any special instructions their family provides. I’m respectful of both your pets and your home, and their safety and comfort are always my priority. I never force interaction with a shy or nervous pet…I’m happy to give them the time and space they need to decide that we’re friends! While you’re away, I’ll provide plenty of companionship, playtime, conversation, scratches, cuddles, and love, along with lots of photos and updates so you can see how your babies are doing. 🐾💕

About: Although I do not currently have pets of my own, I have always loved animals and have been the go-to pet sitter for friends and colleagues since moving back to Pittsburgh in 2019. I have cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and personalities, from quick check-ins to longer stays. Because I work remotely, my schedule is flexible and I can provide consistent care, attention, and updates while you are away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and your home, so I try to be dependable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s routine. Since I do not have pets of my own, I genuinely enjoy getting to care for other people’s pets like they are part of my extended family. I work remotely, so my schedule is flexible and I can provide pet care during the day, in the evenings, and on weekends depending on the booking. Because I can work from different locations, I’m able to spend quality time with pets during house sitting stays and provide consistent check-ins, feeding, walks, playtime, and updates. I’m happy to follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible. I care for pets in their own home, where they can stay comfortable with their usual routine, space, food, toys, and schedule. I always follow owner instructions closely, including feeding, medication, walks, litter care, crate routines, and any house rules. I’m respectful of both your pet and your home, and I prioritize communication, safety, and calm, attentive care. I’ll also send updates so you know your pet is doing well while you’re away.

About: I became a dog sitter when my Husband was working in the Military. His friends and workers would all need to go see family and could not always take their animals. So I became known as their extra Pet mommy. Even after my Husband got out of the ARMY, We saw a old comrade I sat for, and they said their dog doesn't like their new sitter. She was sad I left. We saw them in EPCOT of all places. It was nice to know they liked me. I am available all day to come and walk or play, or even just sit with your puppies or kitties. I have my own transportation and am reliable. I never leave the pet alone. we play and cuddle a lot. I take care of their area and their meds if needed as well. I am currently working part time so I will have time to play and cuddle with your pets all the time. It will be my pleasure. I am always watching to make sure they don't get into something they shouldn't be eating or playing with. I love to take walks and play.

About: Hi there! I’m Jae☺️, a passionate dog lover and experienced dog walker. With a deep appreciation for all breeds, I’m dedicated to providing a safe, fun, and engaging experience for your furry friends. I prioritize their well-being and happiness during our walks, ensuring they get the exercise and socialization they need. Having worked with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, I understand their unique personalities and needs. Whether it’s a leisurely stroll in the park or an energetic romp, I tailor each walk to suit your dog’s preferences. I’m also committed to maintaining open communication with pet owners, providing updates and photos during our adventures together. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged family members and give them the care and attention they deserve! Let’s make every walk a tail-wagging good time! I’m currently in college so this schedule goes great with my classes. Sometimes my classes get canceled and I can dog sit early or take walks early. I have a dog playground in my neighborhood. I also have plenty of space inside to play and run around. I promise to make this a great experience.

We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter than Jacqueline! From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable leaving our two dogs in her care. She was incredibly loving, attentive, and treated both of our dogs as if they were her own. Jacqueline kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. It was clear that our dogs were happy, comfortable, and getting lots of love and attention. Finding someone you can truly trust with your pets is so important, and we feel very lucky to have found Jacqueline. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, dependable, and trustworthy dog sitter. We will absolutely be using Jacqueline again! ❤️🐾

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.
