“Joanna took care of my dog like he was one of her own. He needed some extra TLC, so Joanna went above and beyond to make sure every box was checked. She’s definitely my go-to in a pinch!”
“Xingcheng (Connie) looked after my two boys, Bobby and Jack, for 14 days while I was traveling, and she is hands-down the most reliable and best cat sitter I have ever had! She connected with them instantly, played with them regularly, and sent me tons of daily pictures and videos. I always felt completely at ease knowing they were in such excellent care. She gave me regular updates on their food and kept the litter box spotlessly clean. Communication was fantastic throughout the entire stay, so I always knew exactly how they were doing. I will definitely book with Connie again and highly recommend her!”
“Sha was a really great pet sitter for Kulfi. It was easy to communicate with her even during the midst of the holidays which are a very busy time, and everything went really smoothly. Thank you so much!”
“This is our second booking with Alexis for dog care services. She did a wonderful job for us once again. She is caring and thoughtful towards our Ringo and Rosie's needs and respectful and dutiful in our home environment. We appreciate her dedicated care in working with our dogs!”
“When we returned home after 4 days away, Caesar was friendly and happy, so that tells me that Tracy did a nice job visiting, petting and feeding Caesar. Caesar often will not make an appearance for guests but he came right upstairs to see Tracy each visit.”

“Frida was wonderful with our very shy cat! She tried for 2 days to get him to come out and play and on the third day he did! He played and let her pet him which means he was one happy cat! Frida took good care of him and our house, we highly recommend her and would welcome her back anytime.”
About: I have taken care of neighbor's cats since I was 12, providing meals, medicine and love. I have had my own dog for 9 years who I also care for. I volunteered at SAVE animal shelter for 3 years taking care of cats. I just graduated high school so I am free this entire summer before I leave for college in the beginning of September 2026. I work at the YMCA on Mondays and Wednesdays from 4-7 but am free the rest of the week. I can easily take care of the pet in my clients home. I have experience doing so; cleaning litter boxes, taking care of the house, cleaning up messes, and more. I can water plants or provide any other house services while the owners are away.
“Kriti was awesome with our cat! She was prompt and kind when responding to messages, and took great care to follow all of our requests. Stevie, our cat, was happy and so well cared for when we had to leave town at the last minute. It was such a relief not to worry about him while we were gone as Kriti was great about sending updates, photos and videos. Would not hesitate to use her again!”
About: I have always loved animals. Beginning in middle school, I would always volunteer at shelters because I saw the great need for help with so many dogs that had been abandoned or rescued from neglect. and I myself decided to adopt a few of them and give them the life meant for a prince or princess:) I am always vigilant to their wellbeing, I love playing with them, they give so much unconditional love. I love my dogs with all my heart. I currently work with an attorney as a paralegal in Princeton Junction, NJ. I get plenty of breaks during the day, and that’s when I take care of dogs! 🐕 🐕🐕 I can always work around your schedule and your needs. I can dog sit at night, and/or overnight boarding, Saturday and Sunday all day:) I am also available during the day to walk dogs and check up on them❤️ My parents have a big fenced in yard, which is great for my 2 dogs to play around. There’s also a big dog park not far for more playtime and there’s plenty of playgrounds too to take the doggies for a walk.
“Again, Heidi helped us to take great care of our cat. Our cat loves her and really enjoyed her care and loves playing and cuddling with her. In particular, we also enjoyed to get Heidi’s daily video updates of our cat. Thanks!”
About: Older brother to like, a lot of puppies. I've raised and trained dogs at Cream Puff Labradoodles for 4 wonderful years. I have a passion for animals and all things natural. I've spent 4 years working directly with animals, providing care, medications, cleaning, and training. I am fascinated by animals and nature, and always find myself wondering what they are thinking. Dog safety was my main responsibility at our boarding kennel. Learning their body language, behaviors, and quirks is essential for gaining an animals trust and comfort.
“Hannah is absolutely amazing! She took such great care of my dog Olivia while I was away. It gave me so much peace of mind knowing Olivia was in such loving and capable hands. Hannah sent regular updates, adorable photos, and made sure Olivia got plenty of attention, walks, and playtime. I couldn’t have asked for a better dog walker Olivia clearly adored her too! Highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring.”
About: I’ve owned small, medium, and large sized dogs of many different breeds throughout my entire life. I have a magical connection with dogs. I care for every dog deeply and will provide attention, engagement, and exercise to your beloved pet! I have also owned special needs dogs, so I know the care and tenderness needed to ensure they are happy and comfortable. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to accommodate your pets’ needs. I have a car and a bike, and can drive to your home anywhere around Davis, Woodland, Dixon, and parts of Sac I do not have a pet of my own currently, so I have the flexibility to be away from home for overnight visits. I am very responsible, punctual, and professional. I have 15 years of providing professional dog sitting and dog walking services, as well as car sitting, and pet boarding. I can also administer oral medications, groom, and wash your dog. I have a very flexible schedule all days of the week and weekends! I am a grad student, and my schedule is very light right now. When I care for pets for extended stays, I am actively engaging with the pets all the time. I stay home with them a lot so they don’t get lonely, take frequent walks, have lots of play time, respect their feeding and sleeping schedules, and most importantly have a ton of fun. I will make sure your dog has as much of a vacation (or staycation) as you do.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .

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 Skillman 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Skillman. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
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.
