“Talisa provided such wonderful care to our Sully. She came to our house and took him out for potty and playtime several times. Sully loved spending time with her. Thank you, Talisa! 🙏🏽🐶”

“Candice was great! She took amazing care of Apollo and really helped while we were in a pinch for a dog walker. She is quick to respond which is a great plus!! Thank you Candice, I would 100% recommend!”
About: I've been around dogs all my life and I'm a big advocate for the bully breeds. I know how to hold a big strong dog that just wants to say hello. I can keep a steady pace for walks and hold tightly for random pass-by animals. Keeping commands firm and using the proper commands when the unexpected happens is something I excel in because of my experience of working with children. Fifteen plus years working with children ranging from the ages 3-11. I know a dog is part of the family, I have 2 of my own (a cat too!). I've had 10 plus in pet care and 20 plus years in pet ownership. Let me care for your fur-baby. My schedule is very clear for any pet care needs. I was working part time but now I’m looking for pet care as my job. I’m very watchful and observant from years of child care and from my own pets, I want the pets to be safe all the time.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life! I absolutely love animals and any opportunity to help out and take care of them is such an incredible opportunity! I have cared for as many as 6 dogs at one time of all ages, breeds, and energy levels. I currently work part time, which means most days I am at work from 8:00-4:00. I can do early mornings and late nights, along with afternoons! At my own home, we take our dogs for hikes on a regular basis. When taking care of dogs in others homes, I make sure the dogs are walked on a healthy basis and get all the love and attention they really need.
“Lisa was great with communication and a great help with informing me of heating issues so that I was able to call my plumber on New Years Day to clear up the heating issue . So thankful to Lisa 🥰 I will definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a sitter. Thanks again Lisa for everything.”
About: Besides having raised both cats and dogs all my life, I also have several years experience with volunteering at animals shelters. I can provide leash manners, socialization and provide medical care. At the moment, my availability is very flexible. I can provide service at any day and time. I’m local and can travel for clients. In addition, I’m very responsive. I like to make all animals feel at home by providing a relaxed environment. I have a fenced in yard. All animals should be loved and approached with patience.
“Emily is the absolute best. She has watched my 1 year old Maine Coon now 4 times, and every time I come home to a happy boy. She is great with animals and makes an effort to really cater to each pet - Sam needs lots of playtime, and she makes sure to really run him around when she comes over! He is clearly having so much fun in the photos she shares, and her messages each visit are very detailed. She goes above and beyond. When I came home from my most recent trip, she’d clesrly spent some time brushing out knots on his neck that had cropped up very suddenly and I hadn’t been able to get out on my own. Book Emily!! She’s the best!”
“It was such a relief to be able to go on vacation and know our cats weren't just being fed, but truly taken care of. Stacy was very communicative and we could tell she made good friends with our cats - they still ask when shes coming back. She came over in advance to get a lay of the land and meet them and learn all their hiding spots. She even took the litter when she left so we wouldn't have to deal with it. Stacy really was wonderful and knowing our cats were being loved by someone with such great experience while we were away was such a gift!”
“Julia and her husband Dylan are extraordinary. They aren't just great dog walkers and animal advocates - they're wonderful people, too. They've cared both for my 63 lb Pitbull mix and my father's 14 lb mini schnauzer - they can do it all. Incredibly communicative, kind, responsible, and they go above and beyond to make sure the dogs (and the attached humans!) are expertly cared for. I'm an enormous fan and have recommended them to other neighbors. Should your pooch need some help, these are the people to call! Will treat your dog like family. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Andrea exudes warmth & love - our dog, Sparky, immediately took to her. She was extremely pleasant to work with - very responsive & communicative. We hands down will book with her again in the future!”
“I cannot say enough good things about Claire. From day one Claire has been amazing and has taken wonderful care of our fur baby Lacey. Lacey is an 11 month old black lab mix full of energy and chaos. Claire always goes out of her way to play with Lacey and keep her busy and entertained. Claire, confirmed with us first and asked if she could bring over her lab to play with Lacey. Lacey and Rio (Claire’s dog) quickly became best friends. I know Lacey is in good hands and I feel comfortable when Claire is watching her. I highly recommend Claire and we have hired her multiple times.”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and understand the care each one (puppy-senior) requires. Many friends, family, and coworkers have trusted me to care for their fur babies - walks, feedings, drop-ins, etc. They have all become family to me! 🧡 That being said, I’d love to be apart of your pet’s daily care! I am currently available after 5pm Monday-Thursday, after 3:30pm on Friday and between 8:30am- late evening on Saturday and Sunday. I am very flexible overall! I have experience teaching basic dog training commands - sit, lay down, roll over, paw, etc. I can walk (3) dogs at a time. Long walks and play are essential for their well-being and health. Happy to take them to dog parks too!
“I reached out just a few days before we needed a drop in and not only did she quickly respond that she was available, she came the same day to meet the boys so that we would be comfortable. She communicated ahead of the visit to check in, sent awesome pictures with the dogs and took care of everything exactly how I specified. Our dogs have to stay separated right now and I was very anxious about that being managed in our tiny home but I did not need to be! We will definitely be hiring her again. Only downside is that she doesn’t do overnights!”
“Martin was amazing with my two dogs. He spent the time to built their trust and love and took them on long and engaging walks which left them exhausted. I 100% recommend him.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Shrub Oak
Being my first time using Rover, I was pleased to find the sitter locator map to help me connect with someone close to me. Daniella was perfect! She tended to our cats while we were gone for a week and was prompt, professional and courteous, sending us photos and status reports with each visit she made. We returned home to find the cats happy and well cared for.

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .

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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
