“Josie did a tremendous job caring for my dogs and puppies this past weekend! She was available on short notice and handled all of the feeding, watering, and light housekeeping in a timely, organized, and efficient manner. Everything was well cared for, and I felt completely confident having my dogs in her hands. Josie is pleasant, dependable, and very easy to work with. She has excellent communication skills and stayed in touch with me whenever she had a question or an update. I absolutely trust her to care for my pack again and will definitely call on her the next time I am away on business. I highly recommend her!”
“Jessica did a fantastic job with our many pets! She stopped by to take care of our dogs and cats as many times as we asked, and was even willing to do things like put out the garbage while we were on a recent vacation. It made us feel better to know they could stay at home where they were comfortable, yet we’re not left alone for too long of stretches. Would definitely ask her to return in the future!”
“Mattie was very easy to work with - She got acquainted with each one of my dogs - she did stop a few times before to get to know each dog better - would love to have her take care of my dogs in the future - goes the extra mile to have the dogs more relaxed with spending time without me around”
“Kari was wonderful. Kitty enjoyed seeing and playing with Kari. It was very comforting to see the daily pictures of kitty having a good time, just knowing she was in good hands helped make my vacation easier to enjoy.”
About: I grew up on a farm and always had dogs and cats growing up. Friends have trusted me with caring for their dogs multiples times. It is always exciting to meet other pets! Excited to meet your furry friend! I have a full time job working 7:30-4 on weekdays. But am flexible in the evenings depending on the time of year with other activities I have going on I like to spend time with your pet so they can become friendly with me and not scared. I like to make sure they have fun during my time with them!

About: I have had cats and dogs for over 50 years. I have an extremely reactive pitbull named Sky, and she is a sassy stubborn girl. I have dealt with the difficulties of a reactive dog for years. I am very capable of handling just about any pup!!!! I dog sat in Colorado regularly and I am looking to bringing this experience to Sioux Falls! I have taken care of small dogs and large dogs and i have no difficulties or preferences. I work well with Seniors!!!! I currently work friday thru sunday in Sioux City as an X-ray Tech. I am home and available from monday morning thru thursday evening, every week! I have plenty of time to devote to your pet! I am available to watch pets in your home. I am also available for drop-in visits and for walks! I am able to give medicine and to feed them!
“If dogs could leave Yelp reviews, Braden and Grace would have a flawless 5-star rating. These two will drop what they’re doing at a moment’s notice to spoil your furry family member like royalty. Expect happy tails, extra treats, and your dog seriously considering whether it even wants you to come back!”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that I work from home full time. This gives me the flexibility to be there for your pup throughout the day while still managing my workload responsibly. Your dog will enjoy having someone around to give them attention, playtime, and the personal care they deserve! Working from home makes pet care easy for me to fit in, since I can handle walks, feeding, and playtime during breaks while still giving the pets constant supervision without disrupting my work. I live in a house with a backyard where I can comfortably host pets and provide a safe, welcoming environment. Dogs have the freedom to enjoy the backyard throughout their stay, giving them space to play, explore, and get some fresh air. I’m also able to provide walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention to help them feel comfortable and at home. I’m flexible and always prioritize clear communication with owners to ensure their pets receive the care they need.
“Had a great experience with Madison, she did 3x daily drop in visits for our cat and dog while we were out of town. She was a clear communicator, easy to get ahold of, and sent pics every visit showing the pets playing and getting treats. She also collected our mail and put it on the table. Would recommend!”

My kitties are warmed up and used to Cheyenne now, and she is the best. She has continued to accept bookings with me even though some may be last minute bookings and I’ve had to cancel a few times as well, Cheyenne has always been flexible with me and understanding. I love the photos she sends me when I’m away. I love the peace of mind I have when I leave on trips. Thank you Cheyenne!
This is the first time we have had Jonathan take care of Brody! Everything seemed to go great. Jonathan arrived at our house on time, took Brody for walks, and threw his ball for him! One happy pup! We would not hesitate to request their services again! Thank you!
Renata and Rhonda were wonderful working out dogs while we left for a vacation. They were understanding and patient working with our Shepherds and did a fabulous job watching them for us. I know my pups are safe with both of them, and I recommend them without reservation.

This is our second time booking with Macy, and once again she went above and beyond for our dog. This visit was just a pop-in to break up the day while everyone was gone, and it worked out perfectly. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing our pup is in such good hands. We would absolutely book with her again!

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 .
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.

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.
