“Shona did a wonderful job with her drop-in visits with my Cat. Her timing each day was consistent, my house was kept just as I left it, and she even made sure that my Chewy order made it inside; and got rid of the packing!! I would recommend Shona for any of your pet sitting needs!”
“Drop-in visits, first experience with Tim, he provided multiple pics of kitties, great communication throughout. I could tell kitties were quite comfortable with him. Recommend and will use again.”
“HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Sophia is a very dependable, professional, pet sitter- she ensures each of my pets are given attention and love during visits. She has so much knowledge and experience with all types of animals- I felt at ease leaving my fur babies in her capable hands.”
About: I own a 100 pound senior dog and love to go on walks with him. I have taken care of many types of animals when friends were on vacation or at work, and I have always enjoyed spending time with each one of them. I have currently plenty of time taking care of your animal, and I am flexible most days. I enjoy spending time outdoors no matter the weather or playing inside with your pet. I treat every pet and home as if it were my own. I want your pet to feel loved and cared for, and therefore I take the time for them to play, to walk and sniff, and to take a break when needed. I love being outdoors. Whether your dog prefers a brisk 3-mile walk or a slow, sniffing stroll through the neighborhood, I adapt to their pace. I take great pride in cleanliness, punctuality, honesty, and reliability.
“Sabrina is a gem. Rocky immediately loved her. She's incredibly sweet and knowledgeable about animals. Clear communication, she asked the right questions during the meet and greet, and we felt completely comfortable with her watching our boy. We will definitely look to her for any future dog sitting needs. 💯 Recommend.”
“Genevieve did an amazing job taking care of 2 difficult (not fond of strangers) dogs and 1 opinionated cat. I was so relieved when I saw the interaction at their "meet and greet". 5 stars”

About: I have many years of experience caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and needs, including dogs, cats.

About: I have always cared for animals my whole life. My family loves dogs especially. We have two huskies that we absolutely adore and two smaller ones. I help my family prepare meals and I take each dog on walks about 2-3 times a week. When medication is needed I also help with that as well. My weekly schedule is pretty open and flexible. For my clients, I’ll make sure that their animals are well cared for the whole time and lots of attention is given:) As of now, I am very flexible and open with my schedule. I prefer to do walks anytime during the week from 9 AM to 8 PM, and am open to certain requests on the weekends, depending on the service/time. At my family home, we have a completely fenced in yard. As someone who has dogs that get very excited and territorial with other dogs, I feel that I have the necessary experience to withhold trust with my clients to ensure that their pets stay safe and sound.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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 .
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 , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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.
