“We always feel at ease when Ashleen is taking care of our dogs. She’s so easy to work with and our dogs enjoy her visits. It’s a win for all of us. 100% recommend!”
“Nikki took great care of our boys while we were gone for a week. We did a combination of house sitting and nightly drop ins depending on the day. Her flexibility to work with this was super helpful and I really appreciate how responsive and friendly she is. I have 2 male Rottweilers and although they’re big goofballs, they can be intimidating and I was so happy to see how confident she was interacting with them. It gave me a lot of peace of mind leaving my boys in her care. I genuinely hope she enjoyed our dogs and was comfortable in our home because I definitely would use her again if she will have us! Thanks so much Nikki!!”
About: I have a background in positive behavior supports. I would love to care for your fur baby and give you peace of mind. I will try to follow your routine with your dog so they are only in their kennel when necessary for their comfort or safety. With advance notice, I am available to meet you for pickup or drop-off at a time convenient for you. I can walk puppies in the morning, at lunch, or in the evening. I use positive behavior strategies to help your puppy feel safe and happy. I have a female cavapoo named Alice at home who loves friends.
“I appreciate Pamela's flexibility when it comes to scheduling. We change plans multiple times and she worked it out so that she came to our house. We appreciate her and she is our regular sitter now. I added a puppy this year and she tends to bark at strangers but Pamela dealt with it and my pups were content while we were done all day.”
About: I've owned animals throughout my life. Currently, I have a lasb/mastiff mix, 3 cats, 4 lizards and a trantula that I share my home with. I'll care for your pet to the best of my abilities and they will always be loved, safe, and protected In my day to day life, my fiance and I share duties in the indie bookshop and creative space that we own. In the mornings, I get ready and take our dog outside. I always pick up the poop and dispose of it - it's a requirement in our townhome community. I then go in and feed the dog and give her any medications and supplements she may be on. Usually, I leave the house and my fiance takes care of her letting her out and taking a walk during the day. We do have a fenced dog park one block over that we frequently visit to let the pup run around off-leash for a bit and play with any other dogs that may be there and/or throw the ball. In the evening, we always go for a nightly walk before bed. Then our dog has a comfy bed at the foot of our bed and some stairs so she can get on the bed and lay with us. Your dog will get the same experience and care as our sweet girl, along with a playmate so boredom won't be an option. All dogs will be on leash outside of the home and waste will be disposed of properly. There's a fenced dog park near by that will allow your dog to run around off leash with our dog, who is very friendly and patient - an older spayed large dog, gentle as can be. Your dog will get the same care and protection as ours including no access to the cat box or open food they can grab, lots of love and attention, access to clean water always, and extra emphasize on anything you tell me your dog needs. I take our pets health very seriously.
“Julie was great! We have multiple dogs and cats,and they were all happy and healthy when we got home she was great taking care of them all she even sent pictures daily! the cats let her give ear scratches and normally they are pretty shy!”
About: I’ve been caring for pets my entire life and currently have two cats and a dog of my own. Caring for animals every day has taught me how important consistency, patience, and attention to detail are. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I’ll make sure your pet receives the same love and care I give my own. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, administering basic medications, or simply providing companionship, I’ll follow your instructions closely and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you’re away. I work full-time during the weekdays, but I’m available for morning, evening, and weekend visits. I’m happy to provide drop-in visits before and after work, as well as flexible availability on weekends. I’ll always communicate clearly about my schedule and make sure your pet receives dependable, on-time care. Whether your cat needs a quick check-in, medication, or some extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to giving them the care they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I’ll carefully follow all of your care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications, litter box maintenance, and any special routines. I have experience administering oral, topical, and injectable medications to cats and understand the importance of patience and gentle handling. I’ll provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were one of my own.
About: Animals have been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember and are my biggest special interest. I grew up taking care of a multitude of different pets including cats, dogs, and birds…I love them all! I make sure to stay up to date with new pet care and training ideas. I believe in using positive reinforcement to build strong and healthy relationships with our pets and have taken courses in dog body language and have familiarized myself with Canine and Feline CPR and heimlich maneuver. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! I generally work in shifts of 4-5 hours so the longest your pet will ever need to be left by themselves is 5 1/2 hours My husband is a student and the university and can also help take care of pets if needed/wanted. I have a friendly 2 year old golden retriever who would love to keep your dog company if wanted otherwise I’m happy to visit your dog by myself. I can crate train or let your dog free roam, whichever you are most comfortable with
“Avery is awesome! She is quick to reply and easy to communicate with. We received lots of pictures and details of how each drop-in visit went. I will gladly consider her again for future visits!”
“Laura helped us out last minute and always responded quickly. Loved the detailed reports with pictures so I can know exactly what’s going on and how my doggo is doing! Will definitely book again.”
About: I started working with animals in a vet clinic at the age of 16. Since then I’ve worked with a variety of animals in different clinical settings. I am currently studying to become a veterinarian and love caring for animals.

This will keep your kitty separate and safe and in their own environment to relax while you are away!
“Sierra did a wonderful job looking after my cats!

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 Smithfield 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.

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.
