“Melissa was great with our dog Ash. She caree for him like her own and he had a great time while we were on vacation. She even cleaned up a little before we got back home. I will definitely be hiring her again and recommend her to anyone for their pets!”
“Elizabeth was great! I contacted her on really short notice and she was able to work with me on when I needed her to check in on my cats. She did everything I asked and was a great help! Thanks again!”
About: I have grown up surrounded by dogs and cats my whole life. I understand the need for help when caring for your pets, and I would love to offer my help to make your lives a little easier and to ensure your pets are treated like family even when you're not around. I personally have my own dog and cat, and I know how it is leaving them when you are not around. I hope to bring comfort and ease of mind for you, knowing your fur babies are being loved and taken care of. I have occasionally helped neighbors and friends with their own. I am not scared to clean up messes and I have experience with administering oral and topical medications. If you have any questions please feel free to reach out! In your own home, I will respect any rules you have for your pets and take care of your pet and your home as if it was my own. My schedule is very open and I am very flexible in working around your needs and schedule! I am in school but everything can be done remotely so I can stay home and hang with your pups! I make sure to keep a good eye on the pets, making sure they are safe and well taken care of. I want to bring comfort for your pets while you are away, loving them as my own! I will play with them if that’s what they like and also make sure to keep their routines as close to normal while you are away. I will also make sure to clean as we go and make sure when you return, you are returning to your home as you left it. I am more than willing to do chores around the house and also clean up after animals.
“Elle was absolutely amazing! Phenomenal communication the entire time and very detailed updates. Elle went above and beyond to take care of Kafka, and followed my detailed instructions to the letter.”
“Stephanie was great! Our cat is slow to warm up to strangers and yet we received a picture of him playing for our updates. We definitely plan to utilize her again Thank you!”
“This was our first time using Rover, and Lisa was great. She was friendly to work with, and extremely conscientious. She gave us regular updates on all four cats, and really helped make our first experience a good one.”
“Courtney is absolutely fabulous!! We adore her. Teddy, our golden doodle puppy, was quite a handful at 4 months old when she started with us. He loved her from the start and she has been so patient with all of his puppy antics and sharp little teeth! It has given us so much peace of mind to have her caring as much about our little guy as we do. Wait until you hear about her foster work at home as well! She is just an all-around great person and animal lover. 6 out of 5 stars! We highly recommend!!!”
“Lillian was a great sitter for my cats over the holiday break! Apartment was as I left it when I came back, cats were happy, and Lillian was responsive and professional. Would highly recommend.”
About: I have a lifelong passion for animals and hands-on experience caring for them. I’ve volunteered in animal shelters, where I helped care for dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments. Having grown up with both dogs and cats my entire life, I understand their needs, personalities, and the importance of providing patient, loving, and reliable care. I am a morning person, who is in PA school 8am-5pm most days. I can do early morning, lunchtime, and dinner drop-ins during the week. I am free all day on the weekends. I provide attentive, personalized care in my home or my client’s home, always following each pet’s routine and specific needs. This includes feeding, fresh water, administering medications if needed, walks and playtime for dogs, enrichment and companionship for cats, and regular updates for owners. My goal is to keep pets comfortable, safe, and happy while maintaining the routine they know and trust.
About: Hi! I’m Caitlyn and I have been an animal lover my whole life! As someone with pets of their own, I understand wanting the best care for your fur babies. I have experience pet sitting dogs and cats of all ages, sizes and breeds, as well as giving medications to those who need special care. I work full-time, but I still have time to care for your pets! I am available weekday evenings 4pm-9pm and various weekend times to fit your needs! Pets are most comfortable in their own familiar surroundings. While you are away, I will keep your pets on their normal routine and maintain cleanliness and safety of their space.
“Emma was absolutely fantastic! She really showed care while taking care of our cats! It was a huge relief knowing they were well taken care of while we were out of town for so long.”
“She takes a ton of pictures and follows instructions exactly. She takes care of our dogs plus the added benefit of seeing our dogs have fun and be relaxed with her. It was a last minute request which she eagerly honored and we are so grateful that someone could check on our pups while we were away. It was such a last minute need (we stayed at the aquarium too long and needed someone to check on them the same day) and she fulfilled all our needs as well as went over the top to make sure we were informed of the care. I will be booking again if needed!”
About: Medically retired Veteran and stay at home dad with lots of time on my hands to care for fur kids and keep a watchful eye on them. I have dog sat for friends' pets and personal pets that I've owned for over 30 years. I don't currently have another job. So, aside from medical appointments, I don't have any issues with daily or weekly routines. I should be able to conform to any and all needs. I always care for every pet as though that pet were my own. I know how sensitive each pet can be, so I try my best to keep that in mind when dealing with someone else's pet.
About: Hello, my name is Savanna. I have just moved to the area for school. I am a doctoral student in Physical Therapy at LMU. I have owned several dogs throughout my life, including Miniature Schnauzers, Old English Bulldogs, and multiple Labrador Retrievers. Unfortunately, I had to leave my family dogs behind for school. My passion for dogs extends beyond my own pets; I have also taken care of other people's dogs and worked as a Veterinary Technician. With a few years of experience in pet care, I've helped several families by looking after one to three dogs at a time. I typically offered house visits or stayed overnight to ensure the dogs felt as comfortable as possible in their own spaces. Due to school, I am currently not working, and I have plenty of time to care for your fur babies whenever you need me. I'm currently a student, and I do not work. Since I am a full-time student, I have time around my classes to check in on your fur babies. Usually, I am free for the day around 3pm. I stay in an apartment complex, which is gated. We have plenty of yard space, as well as a trail within the courtyard. The complex is pet friendly with doggy bags available and a fenced dog park. I do not own my own pets, nor do I have kids. I am open to house visits at the client's home as well, which I believe might be easier for the pet.
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Terrigan was absolutely amazing with Macy while we were on vacation! She stayed in touch with us throughout the entire trip, sent us pictures and updates, and truly went above and beyond to make sure we knew Macy was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Being away from your pup can be stressful, but Terrigan made it so easy for us to relax and enjoy our vacation knowing Macy was in such great hands. It was obvious how much care and attention she gave Macy, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We came home to a happy pup, and that says everything! We will absolutely use Terrigan again and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring to look after their fur baby. Thank you so much, Terrigan! ❤️🐾”
About: Hello! My name is Cynthia! I have been taking care of animals ever since I was a young child, and I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own. I have experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ranging from small breeds like Yorkies to large breeds such as German Shepard and Mastiffs and several in between like Spaniels and Golden Retrievers. I am comfortable handling different energy levels, personalities, and care needs. Additionally, I have experience in caring for cats and am comfortable with feeding, litter box maintenance, and playtime with feline friends. I am detail-oriented and comfortable following specific care instructions and administering medication, as I know every pet requires a unique approach and care. While your pet is in my care, I will send photos and messages daily so you can have peace of mind while you are away! Pet care fits well into my weekly routine! I work weekdays from 8:00am to 5:30pm, so I can provide morning and evening walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention before and after work. If your home does not have a dog door, I'm happy to stop by during my lunch break for a midday potty break and walk to help keep your dog's routine as normal as possible. Additionally, I'm comfortable administering oral medications and other routine medications as instructed, and I'm happy to follow any special care needs your pet may have. If you're only looking for a dog walker, I'm available for evening walks on weekdays, making it a great option for those who work third shift or have late work hours. On weekends, I have the flexibility to provide walks throughout the day to fit your pet's schedule and your needs. For house sitting, I stay overnight in my clients' homes so your pets can remain comfortable in their familiar environment. Since I live in an apartment that does not allow animals, I am unable to host pets in my own home. Whether I'm caring for dogs or cats, I'll make sure they receive personalized care, lots of affection, and daily updates with photos so you can enjoy your time away with peace of mind. Your pet's safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can provide consistent care while you're away. Whether that includes feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications, or simply giving them companionship, I'll make sure they receive the individualized attention they deserve. When caring for pets in your home, I respect both your pet's routine and your home. I'll ensure doors, gates, and fences are secure, keep your home tidy, and provide regular daily updates with photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to help your pets feel safe and comfortable in their familiar environment while giving you peace of mind that they're in caring, reliable hands.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Solway
Lily has been a wonderful sitter. This was my second booking with her as she is very reliable and communicative. She’s even shown me some helpful tips as a first time pet owner (such as moving the water bowls into a corner so the cats don’t spill them when they have the zoomies). My cats also warmed up to her notably quickly!

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.
