“Kelly is extra-professional. My pack is complicated, but she handles everybody with precision and love. When I come home, everybody is happy and healthy. She bridges the gap so seamlessly that it's like I never left.”
“Thanks for taking care of Blue again! I always appreciate the feedback and pictures that Grace shares. My cat is very fond of her and seems to sit at the door waiting for Grace to arrive 😊”
“Lorrie is amazing, I'm so happy we found her! She took care of our four cat kiddos on super short notice, and made sure our eldest gal, Frankie, got her daily thyroid medicine. We loved the sweet photo updates and had so much peace of mind knowing that everyone was well taken care of! We'll definitely be reaching out to Lorrie again for future trips!”
“This was my first booking and I'm very happy! I'm pretty anxious about leaving my dogs for a day or more with anyone. Not just new people, friends and family as well since anything can happen. Both of my dogs have chronic health conditions so it's easy to cause them to flare up. There were no issues at all with their health or anything. Christopher made me feel very comfortable and even came over the day before to meet me and my pups. My GSD is 100lbs so he can be intimidating, it really soothed me to see that he was comfortable with that. He and his wife also took both of them for a couple walks during 2 of the 4 drop in visits! I'm sure my dogs absolutely loved that and my GSD pulls like a mushing dog on a leash. I can definitely recommend Chris for care of your dogs”
“Brandie checked in on our cat, Max, for four days last week. She did an outstanding job taking care of Max! It was nice to know he was in great care with her and we didn't have to worry about him. We won't hesitate to use Brandie again on future trips.”
“Ashley is great to work with. This is the second time she has checked in on our two cats while we were out of town. She is thorough, communicative and caring. Thanks Ashley!!”
“Danielle has done a wonderful job of caring for our kitties when we are out of town. I feel better knowing she is there to give them snuggles when we can’t . We will continue to have Danielle visit when we are out of town.”
About: I absolutely love pups of all kinds! As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone you can trust caring for your pets. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and happy to give your pup plenty of love, attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I’m comfortable following specific feeding schedules, routines, and household rules, and I’ll treat your dog like one of my own while they’re in my care. I work full-time, but I have flexibility throughout my day and am able to step away for check-ins, potty breaks, walks, feeding, and some extra love and attention. I’m also available before and after work and on weekends, making it easy for me to fit pet care into my regular routine. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pup and your home. I’ll follow your pet’s normal routine and any instructions you provide, including feeding, walks, medications, crate routines, and household rules. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, and anything else that keeps your pup safe and secure. Most importantly, I’ll make sure they get plenty of love and attention while you’re away and keep you updated so you know they’re happy and well cared for.
About: We have 8 years old cat - Russia blue. Sometimes we feed our friends cats. More cats we take care of, the cats gain more trust in us. My sons has 2 dogs. My friends rely on us to feed their dogs. Sometimes we walk their dogs up to 60 minutes. We work full time. Joseph is available during weekends and Monday- Friday mornings. Angela is available during evenings and weekends. We can be available on some holidays. We will ensure that your pets are safe and we handle with a lot of care and love. We treat your pets like our own family.
“Corinne M. was a wonderful, knowledgeable, dedicated care-giver for our beloved standard poodles while we were away. She is very easy to work with, accommodating to our changed schedule and a great asset to our constant quest for good pet caregivers. Thank-you, Corinne! We look forward to working with you again!”
“We are so grateful to Mahle for checking in on our puppy in our home. He became unexpectedly ill prior to the scheduled drop in visits. Mahle kept us updated and took such good care of our Sherman! Thank you Mahle!”
About: I’m an animal lover! I not only grew up with several pets including cats, dogs, fish, parakeets, & hermit crabs - but I now have two cats and two dogs of my own. I know how difficult it can be to find someone to check on your pets when you’re in a bind. That’s why I decided to reactivate this account, to help others out! Pet services give me the pleasure of working with animals while helping out the owner. I enjoy running, walking, hiking, and play time, as well as just relaxing with animals. I treat every pet as if it were my own, with love and care. Availability : Mondays = After 5pm Tuesdays / Wednesdays / Thursdays = 12-1pm & After 4:30pm Fridays = After 3:30pm Saturdays & Sunday’s = Open I treat all animals as if they were my own which includes patience, love, affection, and gentleness. I’m also accommodating to their specific mannerisms such as high energy, size, disability, etc.
About: I am a true animal lover! Growing up with both Boston Terriers and Boxers, I learned to adapt to the needs of the individual animals around me. My beloved Boston Terrier, Dorothy, was with me from puppyhood until she crossed the Rainbow Bridge at the age of 16 in 2025. My current animal squad consists of two senior kitties and two large but loving rescue dogs! I understand all animals need a little something different, and they all deserve respect and patience! My goal is to make your pets as comfortable and happy as possible. I’m a mom to a toddler and am looking for a flexible way to earn some extra income while doing something I love. Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine, and I’m able to plan visits around my family’s schedule. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet and their individual routine. Pets will be cared for with the utmost respect and compassion! These furry guys and gals are your family. They will receive the attention they want and deserve. All interactions will be based upon YOUR direction - what to feed, when to feed, where they sleep, etc. You may be at work or out of town, but they are still your baby and I will keep them in their routine.
About: I have had dogs in my family since I was little. I have personally trained my dog on simple commands like sit, stay and come. I am also teaching my dog on how to communicate with buttons. I am currently on a morning shift, so I have plenty of time in the evenings for walks and play time. I am currently available after 3pm. I normally have Wednesday and Thursdays off so I could stop by on times that would be convenient for you. While your animals are under my care I ensure to give you peace of mind that your fur babies are taken care of and are safe while you are away. I will treat your home and fur babies as they are my own. I often use treats (with your permission) and praise to encourage good behavior. I also have taught dogs the basic commands like sit, stay, and come.

This was our first time using Rover, so we honestly weren’t sure what to expect and were a little nervous about leaving our dog with someone new. We chose Grace because of her stellar reviews, and we’re so glad we did! One of the biggest pluses for us was that she already had a background working with animals and is currently going to veterinary school, which gave us an extra level of confidence that our dog was in very capable hands. Grace was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond during every single visit. She was always punctual, attentive, communicative, and genuinely caring. She took the time to make sure our dog was happy and comfortable, and we could tell that she truly cared about her rather than simply checking in and leaving. We very much dislike leaving our dog, but Grace gave us so much peace of mind. Knowing she was there made it so much easier to be away because we knew she was in the best hands possible. She treated her like she was her own, and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. We would recommend Grace to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate. She exceeded our expectations in every way, and we would absolutely book with her again. 5 stars doesn’t even feel like enough!
Carli was absolutely amazing! She communicates so well, treats your dog like her own, and is incredibly thoughtful. She kept us updated throughout our time away and made us feel completely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her!
Debra was absolutely wonderful with our two golden retrievers! She is reliable, timely, and incredibly dependable - everything you hope for in a pet sitter. Our dogs loved her from the very first visit. She provided detailed updates and great pictures during each drop-in, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. It’s clear she truly cares about the pets she looks after. We highly recommend Debra and will definitely be using her services again!

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.

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 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.
