“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!”
“We were looking for someone to drop in on our cats for a few days and Becky popped up on the Rover app as a highly rated sitter. We are very grateful that we went with Becky as she was professional and communicative the whole step of the booking. For the drop and visit/ meet and greet, our cats instantly came out when getting to know Becky. She was easy-going and understood everything that we wanted her to look after when we were away. During the two drop and visits, Becky took several pictures, stayed more than enough time, and wrote in extensive synopsis of what she did over the drop ins. We cannot be more pleased with her services, and our cats are looking forward for the next upcoming reservation. We would highly recommend Becky to anybody!”
About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, specifically German Shepherds, so I’m very comfortable with large breeds and strong personalities. I’ve been around all kinds of dogs, from highly protective working dogs to total goofballs, and I know every dog has their own personality and needs. I also have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, so I’m used to handling different routines, energy levels, and temperaments. I currently work part-time and am a student, so my schedule is pretty flexible. Pet care fits easily into my routine, and I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening visits depending on your pet’s needs. I’m also happy to work with specific routines since I know consistency is important for pets. I understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet, so I take that seriously. I always try to follow your pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and reduce stress. I pay close attention to behavior, energy, and any changes that seem off, and I’ll keep you updated so you feel informed while you’re away.
“Sally is super dependable and flexible. She has helped us on many occasions at the last minute. Somehow she captures photos of all of our 5 wandering cats!! We highly recommend her!”
“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!!”
“Chentel is such a wonderful, and caring cat sitter. My two boys relate to her so well and when we are traveling internationally, it is such a relief to have her watch over them. Highly recommend!!! She is the best in my book.”
About: Ever since I was born, there has always been a cat or dog in my life. Caring for animals has always been a part of who I am. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for as long as I can remember, and I treat every pet like family. I love getting to know each animal’s unique personality and building a special bond with them so they feel happy, comfortable, and loved. I’m currently searching for a full-time job, so my schedule is very flexible. In the meantime, I’ll be able to give your pets the attention, love, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications if needed, and any special instructions you provide. I always make sure pets have fresh water, a clean environment, plenty of attention, and lots of love. My goal is to make your pet feel comfortable and give you peace of mind while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you know your pet is happy and doing well.
About: I love animals and have a degree in wildlife biology. We had a special needs German shepherd for nine years until her passing several years ago. As a mom of four children who are in school during the day, I have a consistent and flexible daytime schedule that allows me to focus on pet care. I genuinely look forward to spending that time caring for animals—whether that’s going on walks, providing companionship, or making sure pets feel safe and comfortable in their routine. Pet care fits naturally into my day, and I’m able to give dogs and cats my full attention while my kids are at school. I provide reliable drop-in visits to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, helping them stay relaxed in their familiar environment. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes or tidy up any messes, and keep their space clean and comfortable. I also spend quality time with your pets based on their needs—whether that’s playing with energetic dogs, offering gentle companionship to shy cats, or giving calm affection and attention. I’m comfortable caring for multiple pets and making sure each one gets individual care and attention. I pay close attention to their behavior and routine so I can notice anything out of the ordinary and ensure they feel safe and secure while you’re away. I also provide updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are happy and well cared for.
About: I've been petsitting since I was 13 years old, giving me over 20 years experience. Most of my experience comes from dogs & cats, but I'm happy to learn how to care for other pets, too. I'm currently working part-time, but I'm also a full-time mom to a seven year old, so part-time & weekend jobs work best for me right now. I care for our two senior dogs with the utmost care & respect as they are beloved members of our family. However, one of them does not always get along well with other dogs, so I will not be offering care in my home.
“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.”
“Jessica was excellent! She provided many updates and I arrived home to a happy and healthy cat who normally is very anxious when I am not around. I can 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! 🐶⭐”
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.
“Sydney took great care of our kitties while we were away! Our cats can be particular with their people, so it was great to hear the updates and see the photos of our cats and Sydney getting along. They were absolutely well taken care of. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Tracy was great with our pets, even the persnickety one who might have tried to eat her, haha. And she kept in touch with us well too. Always nice when we're away to see our pets, who are an important part of our family, are happy. Thank you Tracy! We will surely call on you again.”
“Reactive dog owners rejoice! Nina was so amazing and patient with our reactive boy, Murph. He takes a little bit to warm up to people and is dog/stranger reactive, so I needed someone who has experience with that. She is very patient and respectful of Murph’s boundaries. She’s really good at reading dog behavior and has training experience too! I am so thankful for Nina and look forward to booking her again!”

Sydney was helpful and a very communicative caregiver for our kitty! It was our first time using a catsitter, and Sydney was such a great guide, and immediately bonded with our kitty. She was great with communication. And, she always sent us timely pics and videos. Thank you, Sydney!
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.

- 95% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 97% 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.
