“Becky is amazing! Not only does she give me comfort and peace of mind on days I have to be away, but Finn loves her! She is kind and loving toward him, and takes care of his needs. She also sends me lots of pictures and feedback after her visits. I highly recommend Becky for all your pet needs.”
“Brittany was an awesome pet sitter! She took great care of my cat, while I was out of town for the week. She was great at keeping me up-to date on waffles and sent many pictures. I would definitely rebook in the future, as it seemed my cat was comfortable as she came out of her hiding spot many times, which is unusual for her with new people.”
“It was a joy to have Peggy check-in on our family cats. She made sure they were well cared for and provided daily updates and pictures while we were out town. We came home to 5 very happy and well cared for fur babies. I would recommend Peggy, as it's evident she loves animals and cares for them as if they were her own and I would certainly use her services again the next time we are out of time.”
“Sally did an awesome job with our girl! She sent great pics, sat in the yard and loved her and shared a toy with her. Sally watched over our girl for 4 days, fed and medicated her as well. She was timely and communicative! I appreciated how secure I felt while I was away. Sally will do a great job for you!!”
“As always, Tracy took great care of our boy Logan. She’s always timely with her visits, communicates important info and sends fun pics to ease our hearts when we’re away. We truly appreciate the attentiveness and love she provides. Thank you Tracy!”
“Kasandra was so kind to help me with a last minute drop in. Great visit Kasandra was very kind to my 4 legged child and very respectful to our home. Could not have asked for anything more!! We definitely would use her again. If you need a sitter… no need to look further Kasandra is great!”
“David took great care of our pup! She warmed up to him quickly and was very happy on his visits. He had great communication and shared lots of photos from his visits! Will definitely book him again and would recommend to anyone.”
About: I grew up in a family that loved animals and I've had pets my entire life. I know how hard it is to work long hours or be away from home without them. I have spent the last 18 years working with dogs and cats. I have managed a doggie daycare and boarding facility and worked for a humane society as a community outreach manager and volunteer coordinator. Besides loving on all the pets, I spent my time there teaching animal safety to children and providing basic animal care and dog handling lessons to volunteers. I have fostered puppies and helped feed and care for cats and dogs awaiting adoption. I am pet CPR and first aid certified. I helped socialize shelter dogs by taking them out for walks, car rides, pup cups and patio time at Starbucks. I have always been the friend you call when you need a pet sitter or help with something pet related. I have two dogs and two cats of my own and they bring so much joy to my life! I love being in the company of pets and would love to spend time with yours. I work full-time Monday - Friday and have a hybrid work schedule. I work from home two days per week which gives me more flexibility to care for your pets. I am available before and after work and mid-day during the week and have more availability on the weekends. I have a lot of experience caring for my own pets, foster dogs, and pet sitting for family and friends. My own dogs do best with having a daily routine, so I tend to keep the same schedule for feeding, medication, walks and bedtime. I will do the same for your pets. My goal is to always make sure people feel good about leaving their pets in my care.
“Sarah made us feel at ease and like our cats were in good hands immediately. She was very communicative and took plenty of pictures. She even made sure they got to go outside in their catio on every visit. I would definitely recommend her services to anyone and I’ll be hoping she’s available next time I need a pet sitter.”
“Sydney did a super job with my two babies! They warmed up to her right away, which speaks volumes about her ability to immediately connect with my cats. She was prompt and stayed for the entire drop-in visit. Those are things that are important to me and that I truly appreciate. I will use her again and I definitely recommend her!”
“We had an amazing experience with David! He took excellent care of Molly, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. He was kind, reliable, and attentive. We highly recommend him and would definitely book with him again! 🐶⭐”
“Taylor was gracious enough to accept a last minute assignment having never being to my house to meet the dogs. Upon arrival she found my one dog abt aggressive at the door. She called me and suggested asking a neighbor knee the dogs to help her the first time and that was the ticket. I loved her assertive nature. Took care of my pups and communicated every time. Would highly recommend Taylor in the future”
“Isabella was absolutely phenomenal. She was very friendly, timely, and took great care of our cat during a week long trip. I would highly recommend contacting her for your pet needs!!”
About: I’ve had pets since I was 5. I’ve always been in charge of their wellbeing. I currently have 4 pets so handling a couple more fur babies isn’t a problem for me. Either they’re big or small. I’ll treat them as my own. I currently am not working so I will be with your fur baby 24/7. I am very strict with feeding times, potty breaks and play time. I have a fenced in back yard with lots of room to run. I also live a block away from the park so a nice walk would be able to happen as well. My family has a total of 4 cats and three dogs but not to worry all dogs are very friendly and I will be there at all times during interaction if anything where to happen. Our cats are super chill too they don’t want nothing to do with our dogs or humans.
“Lauren has cared for my furry friends multiple times, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is always respectful of our home and incredibly compassionate with our cats. Her communication is excellent both before and during each visit, and I truly appreciate the thoughtful notes and adorable pictures she sends. They provide peace of mind while we’re away. I always feel confident that my babies are safe, loved, and receiving exceptional care in her hands.”
About: Hi! I’m Ellie, and I’ve been caring for pets through Rover for the past 5 years. I’m currently available for dog walks and drop-in visits for dogs and cats, with flexibility during the day for occasional or regular visits. I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for all kinds of dogs and cats. Before Rover, I volunteered at animal shelters and worked for a pet-sitting company, where I regularly cared for a variety of pets with different personalities and needs. For dogs, I love getting them out for a good walk, giving them plenty of playtime and attention, and making sure they’re happy and comfortable while you’re away. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes — I grew up with large Golden Retrievers, so big dogs are absolutely welcome! For cats, I’m happy to provide meals, fresh water, litter box care, playtime, pets, and plenty of company while you’re away. I’m dependable, caring, and treat every pet like they’re my own. I’d love to meet you and your pets and help make things a little easier when you’re away! Feel free to reach out with any questions. 🐾 I am fully available right now for morning, afternoon and evening visits/walks. Weekly Monday through Friday (some weekends too). I love dogs and look forward to meeting furry friends!! I have an unfenced backyard but will keep any dog on a leash anytime we go outside. I will take them on walks around my neighborhood.
“I needed a lalst minute dog walker for our 5 month old puppy Yogi. Sunil came to the rescue! Sunil offered to come to our house the night before to meet Yogi. When he did there was an instant connection between Sunil and Yogi. Sunil is a dog lover (and whisperer) for sure! My husband and I have never met a nicer young man. This was the first time we left Yogi with a sitter. When I saw how Sunil interacted with Yogi it was such a relief and we felt confident that Yogi was in great hands. It was a very long day for us, we were gone for about 13 hours. When we got home Yogi was happy and was also tired! Sunil gave him a good workout during his walks I think! We HIGHLY recommend him.”

Rachel is an absolute godsend for our family. Our dog is quite loving but reactive. Rachel took the time to get to know her before our trip and then was super helpful, informative, communicative and caring during. She was also great with checking in on the loner cat and fish we have in the house. We will definitely be using her forever!
Becky was absolutely amazing! I’m so glad I had her as my pet sitter. She was wonderful with my cat Auggie and I felt so comfortable with her the minute I met her. She did a great job with Auggie and communicating everything she was doing for his care. I really appreciated all the pictures and detailed comments on her daily visits. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!
First time using Lauren and was happy with her care and attention to our two dogs. She walked and played with both dogs, especially our younger one who needs more exercise. She kept in regular communication, sending messages when needed, and providing pictures. The dogs were fine and the house seemed in good order when we got home!.

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 Shiremanstown 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.

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.
