“Alexis was a dream to work with. We are a big family of furry creatures and both mommies were super anxious to leave the pups. But, Alexis was a champ - did two meet and greets, took really good direction, and assuaged us of any fears we had. She was a life saver in a tricky situation. AND, our animals loved her! We truly appreciate the care, professionalism, and kindness that Alexis offered our family. We highly recommend her.”
“Wendy has always been a very reliable, kind, and professional sitter. She is so flexible and truly cares for all animals. Her love of all critters makes her a great caretaker.”
“Thank you Heather for taking good care of our kitty girls, Diamond and Poppy. Loved all the pics and that you took the time to play and give pets! Hope you'll come back again. Definitely recommend you 😊”
“Katie was such a great sitter for our cat Gooby! She was always on time, sent plenty of photos each visit, and kept our house neat and tidy. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!”
“I am grateful that Haley was available and provided such excellent care to my babies. I would definitely recommend and am looking forward to having her watch my babies in the future.”
“This is the third time we've had Rebekah come to our home to take care of our fur babies and we will continue calling on her first because she is wonderful with our pets. She always goes the extra mile to make sure they are comfortable and well taken care of. We appreciate her so much and are thankful we can leave town knowing our fur babies are in good hands.”
About: I have spent my life around cats and dogs, and currently have a 5 year old dog of my own. My family also fosters and homes dogs to this day so the love for animals runs deep! I am familiar with training of animals, walking them, caring for medical needs, and providing all the pets they want and need! I have a lot of free time outside of my full time job and would love to spend it around animals. My schedule is flexible and always changing so I can accept a wide range of pet sitting/walking/feeding. I care for my dog in a very loving manner, he is pet constantly, taken on a generous amount of walks, and steals a lot of my attention for throwing his ball.
About: Our dogs have always been family and I can't recall any time in my entire life when I haven't had a dog at my side, sometimes two or three. I've had dogs of all sizes and energy levels. The longest boarding was for two months while the pup parent traveled in Asia. I've had dogs on my small ranch in NV and we rode trails together. They moved with me to CO and we enjoyed the mountains and front range together. I drove cross-country many times with my dogs, stayed in hotels and visited friends and family with them. My dogs are always a priority in all we do and I will care for your pups as I do mine. Be assured that I will follow any special instructions you give to provide your pet a safe, happy, stress-free stay. I recently rescued a deaf puppy who was in the middle of the road, and took care of her until a new, loving home was secured. I checked on her later and she is happy with her people and dog family. I am retired and always home. I spend my days gardening, cooking, squirrel and bird-watching, helping at church, and making greeting cards. My two dogs are with me the entire day. We will give your pup lots of company and love. I prefer to sit for one client at a time and max two dogs at a time. I look forward to meeting you and your pups. It's a good day any day that you meet new friends with fur. They bring joy to life. I have a 1/2 acre and a huge fenced yard for play and romping. Your dog will not be put outside for any length of time without my oversight. I am frequently out in the yard, relaxing, weeding, planting and pruning. Safety is number one and focused, pleasant care are my priorities. I want to be sure that the pups have my undivided attention. My two small dogs and I will give your pup lots of company assuring that he or she is acclimated and gets to know us. Our home is comfortable and happy. Does your pup enjoy endless belly rubs? Mine do and I have plenty to share. I prefer to sit for one client and max two dogs at a time. Photos of your pup's day are provided, if requested. I feed my dogs twice a day and give them one treat after their meals. I will feed your dogs at the time of day you prefer. We will only give your pup treats that you provide. I will follow your feeding schedule and administer meds if needed. My early career was 20 years as a hospital clinical laboratory scientist and then as a director. I've medicated my dogs and horses and given shots, so I know all the techniques needed to administer meds for your dog. Be assured, I recognize a dog's body language if in pain, stressed, or sick and will notify you immediately of any serious issues. I will follow your instructions if vet services are needed. My senior dog, Vivvie requires a special diet, so I make homemade dog food, veterinarian approved. No table scraps for her or for dogs in my care.
“Ansley is great with the cats and plays with them and shows them all the love. She goes above and beyond and even brought some Amazon packages in for us. Highly recommend, and will continue asking for her if she’s available.”
About: Even though I joined the military my passion for dogs never faded.I am the odd one out in my family that loovveeesss dogs and of course I have my own pack of dogs. A house is not a home with at least one dog to share it with. I would love for you to take a chance on me to show you what ten plus years of experience in animal Care with dog can do. I would love the opportunity to be able to give you as my mental you can handle your business knowing that your precious babies are safe. Afterall dog is spelt God backwards for a reason. 😁see you soon! I am a retired military vet and now a stay at home father. I volunteer at the PAWS Humane Society animal shelter to help walk dogs at least once a week. I have a pack of 3 dogs. They are all well trained pitbull class dogs well socialized some a little more than the other lol.
“I cannot recommend Lindsay enough! She did drop-in visits for my two dogs over the weekend, and she went above and beyond in every possible way. She sent me photos at every visit, kept me updated on when she arrived and left, and made sure both of my pups were well-fed and happy. She even turned on Dog TV for my Great Dane to keep him entertained—such a thoughtful touch! Lindsay offered to help around the house, communicated consistently, and left the sweetest Doggy Report Card on the table at the end of her visits. It was such a lovely surprise and showed how much she genuinely cares. My dogs were happy, relaxed, and clearly loved her company. She is kind, professional, and incredibly reliable. I will absolutely be using her services again! 🐾💛”
About: Here to make sure your 4 legged family feels safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and always do my best to stick to their normal routine so they feel as comfortable and loved as possible. I work Monday–Friday, but my schedule can be flexible at times. If you need pet care but aren’t sure whether my schedule will fit your needs, feel free to message me! I’m always happy to help whenever I’m able. I have a fenced in yard and two friendly pups. I crate trained both of my dogs while they were potty training, so I also have a large crate available if that fits your pet’s needs.
About: Taken care of all animals different pieces and sizes! I live to go on runs so if your doggo needs some energy expenditure I can make that happen run usually span from 2 miles up to 13miles! My doggies run every other day and go to the dog park every day in between! Very quiet household! So if you need your doggies tired just let me know! Live in a large apartment so there is plenty of space for them to play but pets are taken out for runs and dog park pretty much every day.
About: I’ve been around and caring for dogs for more than 20 years. My love and experience with dogs started at home—my dad was a dog trainer who worked with his own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. Growing up around that experience taught me how to understand canine behavior, respect each dog’s individual personality, and provide patient, attentive care. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, and I especially love being outdoors. Hiking, nature trails, and exploring the outdoors are some of my favorite things to do, so when appropriate, I love taking the dogs in my care along for an enjoyable walk or adventure. I believe dogs benefit from both physical exercise and mental stimulation, and I always want their time with me to be safe, positive, and enjoyable. Pet care fits well into my schedule, and I’m available Sunday through Thursday from 9 AM to 5 PM EST. I enjoy having a flexible schedule that allows me to give each pet plenty of attention, exercise, companionship, and personalized care. I provide pet care at the owner’s home through dog walks and drop-in visits. Check-ins can include potty breaks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and companionship. I am not currently offering overnight stays, boarding, or pet sitting in my home.
“Thank you so much Nicole for taking such great care of our Bentley!! We will definitely reach out to you again to watch Bentley!! Nicole was awesome and took very good care of Bentley.. loved all the photos and updates.. thank you again!!”
About: I am a German Shepherd breeder, and have raised, trained and cared for dogs my entire life. I am able to keep your pet with my friendly play groups, or provide independent time. I am home almost every day for 90% of the day, so I'm always here to tend to the dogs and provide round the clock care for my own and my clients dogs. I have a fenced yard for dogs who get along with my other dogs, they can join our pre existing play groups. Independent walks and play can also be provided for the dogs less keen on making friends. I can do drop ins for any pets, furry, feathered or otherwise, but I am only able to board dogs 20+lbs at my home.

- 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.

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.
