“Christine was fantastic with our dog Ali. We were nervous as this was the first time we hired a drop in sitter while we were gone. Our dog is a little bit neurotic and elderly and we weren't quite sure how she was going to react. She loved Christine from the get-go. She loved all the walks, attention, love she was given in our absence. She was walked at least twice a day. Which really kept her anxiety and energy level down. She was so chill when we got home it was quite shocking. She was in constant contact with us with photos and updates and I would highly recommend her to anyone.”
“Augusta was great! Her communication before the visit and during was great; friendly and responsive. She was patient with our pup and seemed to really care about giving him some quality time. I will definitely book her again when we need someone!”
“Frank is very kind and my doggie Dutchess took right to him. I appreciate all the Love you gave my girl while I was gone and all the pics you supplied me. Would definitely have Frank watch my dog again 10/10”
About: I have taken care of pets with all sorts of different needs, all different ages, all different sizes, and all different energy levels. I love dogs and cats!! I am currently working part-time, so I will have plenty of time to stop in and check on pets, feed them, walk them, play with them — whatever they need! I treat every pet like my own and always prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness. I’m happy to follow your specific instructions and routines. I’ll also respect your home by keeping things clean, secure, and just as I found them. I want you to feel comfortable!
About: I’ve been caring for dogs, cats and rabbits my whole life. I’ve always had them and have even done 4-H with my dog and rabbits and was an advisor when I got older. 4-H taught me all about pet care and dog training and obedience. I’ve recently changed jobs so I can be home nights, weekends and holidays! This will allow me more time for watching your fur babies. I enjoy spending my free time on walks and being outside. Since I do work during the week, they will be home during the day and unable to go out. But once I am home, and on weekends, they can go out as often as they would like. I don’t have any pets at this time so your fur baby will be the only one in the home. I keep things picked up and out of reach for safety. I believe in harnessing and leashing before going outside and making sure they are secured properly. I also will not feed your pet any human food or anything not approved by you.
“We enjoyed meeting Mariah and she took fantastic care of both of our cats while we were gone on vacation. We had her come by twice a day to feed and play with Scooter and Kris. She stayed in touch with us with questions and photos. You can tell that she enjoys spending time with and taking care of animals. We will definitely be using Mariah’s services again!”
About: I’ve always lived around animals while growing up, ever since I was a baby. I’ve always loved playing with animals and taking care of them I volunteer at one of a kind pets. I’ve always taken care of my animals since I was little. I would always take my pets on walks, feed them, play with them, take them to parks, etc. Another thing while growing up I used to always go to the library and read to dogs there, it was an event. Every once and a while I go to the animal shelter and spend time with cats and dogs giving them company. I am in college right now we can talk about when I have classes and when would be best times for me to do drop ins, walks, whatever you need! I feed my dog 3 times a day I understand that varies from the dog and let I him out time to time, we have a electric fence so it’s easier to let him out when he wants, but I have no problem taking dogs out on leashes. Also if your dog is would like company, I could bring mine!
About: I am a very friendly person and I’d like to think animals pick up on that energy. I am usually one to be friends with the animals around me anywhere I go within the first 5 minutes of meeting. Hopefully I’ll get the chance to become pals with your babies too! I’m a School Counselor during the day Monday through Friday, but I’m hoping to add pet care into my routine as a second income doing another thing I’m passionate about! I’d be happy to check in on your pets throughout the week whenever I can fit it into my schedule (: I am a firm believer that you know your animal best! I just ask for open communication and for directions on how to take the best possible care of your fur baby!
About: I’ve owned pets ever since i can remember. My family is a big dog family and i have a blue great dane named brooklynn who is also a registered therapy dog. In her age she’s needed lots of special care such as medications, ointments, and assistance getting up from bed so i am equipped to help with whatever your animals need! I am currently in nursing school, but I’m half online and half in person, so i have a ton of extra time throughout my days to come help care for your pets! I understand every pet is unique and requires special attention. I spend as much time as i can getting to know your pet to provide individualized care to best support them.
About: Hello my name is Tabetha I am a vet assistant graduate from Northcoast medical training academy 2016. I am employed at Akron Medina Veterinary Hospital and Pet Resort. I do live an apartment but there are lots of woods & trails to go on long walks as your dog needs. I also can provide other services such as nail trims, ear cleaning, and bathing. I am home all day and your pup will never be alone. I can also do drop in visits when needed. I look forward to taking care of your fur baby when you are away. I do work full time, I am off Fridays and weekends and I could do a visit before work 7:00am and be there right after work 5:00pm or if I am doing overnight. I would only be gone those hours. 7:00-5:00pm I can easily crate your dog if needed. I do live an apartment but I can take your dog on long walks though the parks.
About: Hello! Ive been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. I have loads of experience in walking and sitting for friends and family. Seniors and puppies are welcome!! I work part time, and I am in school part time (I only have one in-person class), so my schedule has many gaps in it. I’ll always greet them, say hello for a minute, Then I’ll let them outside and I’ll make sure they use the restroom. After that, I’ll refill their water and play with them until its time to go, or time for a different activity.
About: I've always believed that dogs aren't "just pets" - they're family. That's why I want every dog I care for to feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their people are away. When I come to your home, I don't want your pup to feel like someone simply stopped by to let them outside. i want them to look forward to seeing me! Whether it's a potty break, a little playtime, some belly rubs, or simply sitting with them and giving them company, I take the time to make their visit special. I'm the person who will notice the little things- if your dog seems extra tired, isn't eating normally, needs extra attention, or just wants someone to sit beside them. I'll follow your instructions and your dog's routine because I know every pup has their own personality and needs. Most importantly, I want you to feel completely comfortable knowing that while you're gone, someone caring and dependable is looking after your best friend. I currently work 3 days a week. I self schedule at my other job so I can fit more time in doing what I love, which is caring for pets. I do not offer caring for pets in my home. I have two dogs of my own at my home that I need to be cautious of.
About: I’ve grown up with dogs all my life. I’m currently 19, so 19 years of loving dogs all sizes and breeds. I’ve actually dog sat for 3 family friends here and there for about 5 years and would love to do the same for someone else who may need it as well!! I’m currently in school to become a vet technician as well! I love animals any kind and would love to get to love your animals just like they’re my own!! I’m currently working part time tropical smoothie! However, I can attend to your animal whenever they may need within my availability! I really would love to go on walks no matter the weather and even play with your pup. I love running and am very active so I would be the same with your pup if they allow me! Just gives me more cardio in the end lol! I would love to just hangout and play with your pup all day!! I do not care for pets in my own home. However, I will do my best to accommodate to your home and what i’ll need to do to take care of your pup the best!

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Silver Lake
Katelyn was a true delight. I immediately knew her warm and engaging personality would win over our cat, Shadow.l, as soon as I met her. I felt so comfortable on our trip knowing Shadow was in good hands and would get the love, attention, as well as meals and medication that he needed. I would use her services again and highly recommend her!
Jennifer is outstanding. She is impeccable. Scheduling, communication, attention to feeding, watering and other details caring for our home, daily reports, daily pictures, and most of all…she has a natural love for pets and they love her. Our little kitty adores Jennifer. Jennifer has an amazing calmness and gentle touch about her. On each visit our kitty trots to greet Jennifer, she adores the affectionate pets and wonderful play times. We’d change our vacation schedule if we couldn’t get Jennifer. She is that good! :-)
I trust Audrey and would highly recommend her services. The first reason is my cat loves her. I have two and the second cat hides. The second reason is she is communicative and always responds, which is important to me. I also love her pictures she takes and when I travel always trust my cats are well taken care of.
So glad I came across Lindsay, I had to head out of town last minute and she came in clutch. We weren’t able to do a meet and greet beforehand but we were able to figure something out and everything turned out fine. Will definitely keep her mind for the future!
Riley is such a big help to me. I had never used this App before and was a bit nervous. She made it easy and accommodated a meet and greet. Riley has been up for every challenge. As one of my dogs was recovering from surgery and the other is a very energetic German shepherd puppy. She is always willing to help in anyway that she can with both of their needs. I am so happy to have found this App and Riley. I would and do definitely recommend her.

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 .

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.
