“Lauren did a fabulous job taking care of our chocolate Labrador over several days this last week! We came home to a happy dog and everything looked great in our home upon our return. She sent detailed updates about her visits, including photos and video, and gave our pup lots of love and exercise everyday (even in inclement weather!) Her communication skills are top-notch, and her care and love for animals is evident. We look forward to having Lauren take care of our dog in the near future ~ we recommend Lauren highly and we are lucky to have found her!”

“This was our first experience using Rover.com, and we couldn't have been happier! Our sitter, Elaine, is terrific! Not only did she capture amazing pictures of our two Bengal cats, she even managed to win over Shiloh, who normally runs and hides under the bed whenever a stranger comes into our home. My husband and I could hardly believe our eyes when we watched the video of Shiloh letting Elaine pet her. It was nice, too, to come home to a clean and tidy area where the food dishes are as our cats always like dropping their food on the floor before eating. I highly recommend Elaine.”


“Hailey gave the pups meds, refilled their food and water bowls, filled puzzles, ensured they had time outside, and helped one of my pups with getting a diaper on. She’s a sweet girl and the pups love her. Grateful for her and her eagerness to help with the pups.”

“Irina did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. She did drop in visits twice a day and sent lots of photos and updates. She was professional and helpful. We hope to have her watch our dogs again for future vacations.”

About: I have taken care of pets like dogs, cats, reptiles, and farm animals since I was very young. I have experience with small to large dogs as well as young to senior dogs and cats. I have also volunteered at shelters for the past few years and helped them too. I am currently taking care of animals full time. I am available at all hours and all days as long as I have no other bookings. I have a fenced backyard and a pool that my dogs love. I also have 3 dogs of my own. I have a German Shepherd puppy and 2 senior Chihuahuas. I strive to make sure all animals I take care of are happy and safe.
“Jessica has been wonderful with our cat Nola! They became fast friends. We didn’t have to worry about anything. We will be seeking out Jessica for future pet sitter visits.”

“Ruth took excellent care of our 3 kitties! I love that she was very thorough and took the time to let us know in detail everything she did with each visit. Although our kitties are very shy and hid under the bed when she came over, she still made sure to check on them and snap a pic so we could see their glowing eyes under the bed. ? We would definitely recommend Ruth and will be happy to have her care for our kitties again. ?”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with dogs, including a Golden Retriever and a Collie, and I’ve always had a soft spot for animals of all kinds. After settling down and starting our family, we were ready to welcome a dog back into our lives. In 2024, we adopted Izzy, our sweet and friendly German Shorthaired Pointer. Our family absolutely loves having Izzy around, and I’d love the opportunity to give your dog that same attention, affection, and care while you’re away. I work from home, so your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches. They’ll have plenty of companionship throughout the day, along with playtime, potty breaks, attention, and lots of love. If you prefer I visit your home to check in on your animal, I am happy to do so. I can stay at your home between 9a-2pm M-F or pop in on weeknights and weekends, or you may opt to board them at our home. We live in a clean, comfortable, family-friendly home on nearly half an acre with a fully fenced yard and a doggie door. Dogs staying with us can easily go in and out throughout the day to play, explore, relax in the yard, or come back inside whenever they want. Your dog will be treated like one of the family and cared for in a safe, loving home environment. I’m happy to answer any questions, arrange a meet-and-greet, or even give you a quick tour so you can feel completely comfortable with where your treasured family member will be staying. My rate includes daily brushing and a bath before they return home. They will be the only dog here other than our own. I’d love to meet you and your pup! ❤️ I work from home and am available every day, all day, to meet your pet's needs. I have a large fenced backyard with a doggie door for potty breaks and play time. Your dog's safety and comfort are my top priorities. Because I only host one dog family at a time, I can provide individualized attention and avoid the stress that can come with a home full of unfamiliar animals. We have a clean, non-smoking, kid-friendly home and a large, fully fenced yard. Our doggie door provides supervised-by-presence access between the house and fenced yard, giving your dog the flexibility to go outside for potty breaks or play without having to wait for someone to open the door. Izzy is friendly and enjoys having other dogs around, but I will always make introductions thoughtfully and pay close attention to each dog's personality and comfort level. Izzy and other animals are discouraged from being on any furniture. I'll follow your dog's normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, sleep preferences, and any special instructions. You'll also receive daily photo updates so you can see how your pup is doing while you're away.
“Amy was so so patient with our Chili girl when she needed some extra time to warm up. We are so grateful for her & the patience & understanding of what our dog needs. Will absolutely be booking again! Thank you so much!”

About: I have taken care of dogs for the past 5 years or so by myself. Growing up my parents watched dogs for friends and family every so often. We also had a border collie mix of our own for 15 years and I was responsible for taking care of him. I currently work M-Th; 9am-5pm but fairly free before or after work for walks and playtime. I tend to get up early on work days but a night owl on the weekends. I enjoy getting out on the weekends like going on walks with hikes. I currently do not have fenced in hard but I do have a large grass area right outside my house that is dog friendly and is great for playtime and even doggie pool time.

About: I have worked for boarding facilities before, one that had no kennels and one that did. I have had lots of experience taking care of dogs and cats, giving oral medications, and watching them during the day to day. I love animals and always think of them as a part of your family. I am available everyday except for Tuesday's and Thursday's. As long as I have two days notice I have no issue doing check-ins, walks, or watching your furry friends with whatever schedule works best! Due to my previous experience with boarding facilities, I am well trained to follow instructions left by owners. Whatever schedule my clients have I will adapt to and perform, so that their pet won’t get confused or distressed by the change in schedule. I make sure to give special love and attention to each and every pet I care for.
About: I grew up on a farm and have experience taking care of all kinds of pets and animals, but I especially love canine companions. I have my own dog that I cherish and have trained myself! I’m a go to for many of my friends and family for a dog sitter and I love that they know they can rely on me to take care of their best friends! I’m a stay at home mom to a beautiful baby girl. We love to adventure together, including helping care for your pet when you cannot! My daily routine can easily be adjusted to your needs and wants! I’ve needed last minute sitters before. I’m here to be that help for you. I am confident and capable of taking care of your pets needs.
About: Throughout the years, I have always naturally bonded with animals of all shapes and sizes. I have dedicated much of my life to caring for pets, starting from the time I was young when family and neighbors relied on me for daily feeding, walking, and playtime. Whether your dog needs gentle senior companionship, patient routine maintenance, or a fun play session, I ensure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and deeply loved while you are away. My partner and I work together to maintain a highly flexible routine, ensuring your pets always receive plenty of attention. Between the two of us, we are readily available throughout weekdays and weekends for reliable check-ins, timely feedings, and continuous companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are our top priorities. As a team, my partner and I provide attentive, gentle supervision while strictly following all of your house and care instructions. Having two dedicated caregivers means your pet gets extra care, secure monitoring, and regular photo updates.
“Mia is amazing! She did drop in visits for a few days while we were out of town and Uko felt very comfortable and enjoyed her company. She has high attention to detail and was very respectful of our home. We can tell she really cares about what she does, and will definitely be asking Mia to look after Uko in the future!”


About: I am super kind, caring, and respectful of all animals! I will make sure your pet is comfortable and has all of the necessary things needed for a fun, relaxing and safe environment. I have a lot of experience with my own pets as well as taking care of friends and family pets. As a retired elementary school teacher, I have a ton of patience and will take the time to do everything I can to make your pet comfortable and happy : ) I have also taken care of many of my students' pets and homes over the years. I love to help out! I look forward to meeting you and your pet family. I am retired, so pet sitting is perfect! I am wide open for dates to help assist you with your fur babies! Hope to meet you soon! Any pet is welcomed into my home! They can sit/lay anywhere that is comfortable. I will always be with them, and make sure they have what they need to be happy!
About: Im so excited to be working for you! What a treat to be able to love on your beautiful babies! I enjoy pet sitting so much because just like people, animals have their own personalities and it’s really neat for me to discover them in all the little fur friends I get to meet. I am good natured and loving and your pet will notice that right off the bat. I’m caring and compassionate and you won’t have to worry about your babies while I am there. I enjoy overnight stays because I know it’s important for them to be “at home”. It’s easy for me to feel at home wherever I go! I have a kitty and he stays home and is very content with that. He is a super friendly 15 lb MainCoon that has a very sweet personality. He’s always up for belly rubs. He does not accompany me on any of my stays or visits. I have several families that aren’t on rover that I just love so much. So their reviews aren’t on here. But if you need references, please let me know. I’m grateful for the opportunity to hang out with your fur family and know that you can rest easy knowing they are in good hands, I am open to visits and check ins or even long weekends or vacations. It would be great to come to you. Take a vacation and relax knowing your home and sweet babies are being lovingly cared for. Unfortunately I am unable to board any pets at this time. I don’t have the needed space to accommodate them. Thank you so very much!

Lauren was amazing with our two kittens. She was super thoughtful and asked a lot of great questions about what we needed. The visits were perfect! The pictures she took while taking care of kitten were some of the best pictures we’ve got. Would definitely recommend Lauren!

Cassidy was great! We had a last minute trip ro take care of some family things and she stepped up and took care off our fur baby on little notice. At one point she couldn’t find the food and couldn’t get a hold of us but she took care of things and made it work. It made me feel like Cassidy would be the one you wanted in an emergency with your fur baby. Thanks Cassidy!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
