“Ashley was great with my cats. She took care of them as she was instructed. One of my cats is very shy and even he came out to her when she was coming over. I will definitely use Ashley’s help in the future and recommend her to others.”
“Laura was absolutely wonderful with my cat Max and I would 100% use her services again. I adopted my cat before the pandemic and was nervous about leaving him alone for a week to travel home. Laura was always on time for visits, sent tons of pictures, and gave great updates which helped relieve my anxiety.”
About: IF THIS IS YOUR FIRST TIME, ASK ME FOR A $20 PROMO CODE Experienced and responsible. Dog care and training with safety and enrichment in mind. Life-long dog lover! Dog walking is not a side-hustle for me. My goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct in every walk! 7-year experience raising my rescue 60lb pit-shepherd mix with reactivity issues. I have hands-on experience handling reactivity, leash-pulling, fear and stress in city dogs, through weekly volunteer work at local shelters. I pay close attention to each pup's needs and take guardians' notes seriously. I walk and train using science-based, relationship-focused methods — not dominance, for lasting behavior. I'm GCT certified and pursuing CPDT-KA and CCDT via CATCH Professional Dog Training Academy. I am also a guardian of 2 rescue tabbies - Sol & Luna. I am currently a full-time dog walker and trainer, on top of caring my own dog and cats at home and volunteering in shelters weekly. I am generally available M-F: 8a-7p; S-S: 1p-7p. Other hours may be accommodated on demand. A first 15-min meet and greet is a must for all walks to review your needs and your pup's routine, gears, personality, leash skills and any reactivity concerns. I am highly diligent on walks to look out for potential triggers and avoid scavenging. A safe distance from other dogs and humans is always maintained. I give them plenty of time to sniff and explore while keeping a close eye. The goal is to reduce stress, encourage calmness and satisfy your pup's natural instinct on every walk! I never let dogs off-leash or go into dog parks. If your dog likes to play, I can keep them on a long leash for run and chase time.
“Mandel was very communicative, timely, and took excellent care of our pups while we were gone. I will definitely be utilizing his services again in the future!”
“Wow, Thoselin you were amazing! Although my brother and I had to leave so urgently for vacation, you were able to do everything needed and more for our sweet Beagle pup Bruno. We did not have much time to give you as many details as we desired before leaving, but that didn’t stop you from being so inquisitive and taking such gorgeous and cute pictures of Bruno. We missed him a lot while we were away and worried for his care since he is not used to being left alone for such long periods, but after seeing him playing with all his toys and having so much fun with you we felt so relieved and knew that we chose the right dog sitting professional. We will be sure to use your services again, and if you are a pet owner reading this - CHOOSE THOSELIN ! ? You won’t regret it as she has a dog and cat of her own and is very patient and accommodating. Thank you for being so caring and patient with our pup despite his puppy nips and high energy levels. Thank you times 1,000! ❤️”
About: I have taken care of dogs since I was 14. I have walked, played with and fed a variety of dogs. I have also taken care of cats and fish for other families. I adopted a dog, Maci from a rescue as a puppy. She is now 6 years old. I just finished my degree from FIT and I'm looking for some flexible, part-time work. I would love to take care of your fur babies! I am currently working part time from home so I can walk and care for your dogs throughout the day. I am available weekdays and weekends also. I would plan to care for your pets in your home. I can pick them up to take them for walks and play with them.
About: I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each. Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle. Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.
“Rosandy and Edward treats Blaze, Starlette, and myself like family, and the feelings are reciprocal. I am set in my flight attendant career, and I hope that I will always have Rosandy and Edward as pet caretakers. We are absolutely grateful to have them in our lives, especially for the love and care they give. Thank you for always going above and beyond for us.”
“Amanda was amazing with Flint! We had a pretty last minute situation and she came through for us with no hesitation. She was super attentive, communicative, and really took initiative during her drop-ins. She noticed things, checked in with us when needed, and went above and beyond without us having to ask. I felt comfortable knowing Flint was in good hands while we were away. Definitely someone I’ll be booking again in the future. Highly recommend Amanda!”
About: What differentiates me is the love and patience I give to each pet. I have experience with puppies and older dogs that need special care and shy rescue puppies. I treat each pet as if it were mine and always keep the owners informed with photos and messages. Pet care is part of my everyday life. I enjoy spending time with animals in the mornings and evenings, and I always make sure pets receive walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, so I can adjust to the needs of each pet and provide reliable, loving care whenever it’s needed. Safety and comfort are my top priorities. In my home, pets always have a clean and cozy space, fresh water, and regular walks or playtime. I make sure the environment is safe, secure, and free of hazards. In a client’s home, I follow their routines carefully, respect their rules, and provide regular updates with photos so owners can feel at ease knowing their pets are happy and cared for
About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my reliability, attention to detail, and hands-on experience working with animals. I’ve volunteered at Sean Casey Animal Rescue, where I helped care for dogs with different temperaments, energy levels, and backgrounds. That experience helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior and how to provide calm, patient, and compassionate care. In addition, I often take care of friends’ dogs when they travel or are away, so I’m used to maintaining routines like feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable while their owners are gone. I’m especially attentive with young pets who need structure and positive reinforcement, and I’m also comfortable caring for senior dogs who may need slower walks, extra attention, or medication reminders. I prioritize safety, consistency, and keeping pets relaxed in their environment. I also make sure pet parents stay informed by sending regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make every pet feel secure and cared for, and every owner feel confident their companion is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I have a flexible freelance schedule and currently no full-time job. This allows me to dedicate consistent time and attention to the pets I care for throughout the day. I’m able to plan my work around walks, drop-ins, feeding schedules, and playtime, making sure each pet gets reliable care and attention. Because of this flexibility, I’m also available for morning, midday, evening, and weekend visits when needed. My routine allows me to be dependable, responsive to pet parents, and fully focused on providing safe, attentive care for every pet. I provide attentive, reliable care that keeps pets comfortable and safe in their usual environment. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible—feeding on schedule, providing fresh water, taking dogs on walks, cleaning up after them, and making sure they get plenty of playtime, exercise, and affection. I also monitor their behavior and well-being to ensure they are happy and healthy while you’re away. For drop-ins or walks, I make sure pets get the physical activity and attention they need, along with bathroom breaks and any specific care instructions you provide. I respect your home, keep things clean, and send regular updates and photos so you know your pet is doing well. My goal is to make pets feel safe, loved, and stress-free while giving owners peace of mind.
“I am very happy with Irene. She was professional, caring, and made sure my pets felt comfortable and loved. I received regular updates and photos, which gave me peace of mind. Highly recommend.”
About: I am a passionate and devoted animal lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pets. I grew up raising and lovingly caring for 4 German Shepherds and 1 Collie, which gave me complete confidence in handling large, strong breeds. Additionally, I have extensive experience caring for and breeding Jack Russell Terriers, making me well-versed in managing energetic, active dogs. Whether your dog is a big gentle giant or a small high-energy pup, I ensure they receive safe walks, attentive feeding, interactive playtime, and lots of love. I always carefully follow all owner instructions and send frequent photo updates so you have complete peace of mind. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine. I manage my schedule to ensure that pets in my care receive frequent attention, regular potty breaks, timely feeding, and engaging daily walks. Because my routine is flexible and structured, your dog or cat will never feel lonely and will always get the focused care, exercise, and affection they need throughout the day. Safety and comfort are my highest priorities. I maintain a clean, calm, and secure home environment where pets feel safe and relaxed. During walks, I strictly keep dogs on a leash, stay attentive to surroundings, and avoid unnecessary risks or conflicts with other animals. I closely follow every owner's specific rules regarding diet, medication, and routine, and I make sure your home and pets are treated with maximum respect and care.
About: I've cared for pets my whole life and enjoy doing so. Before losing by beloved fur son last year, I would walk him and my cousins dog when he would go out of town. Along with the dogs and cats I've encountered, I strongly prioritized providing them with mental stimulation. Walking and challenging play is essential to their wellbeing and I've encouraged friends with pets to do more on their behalf. As an afterschool tennis coach, the flexibility and active work would be best for my shift at 1:30pm and after 6pm. I also work at a food delivery company part-time Wed & Friday 9pm to 2am and Sundays from 4pm to 9pm. This kind of work keeps me engaged and on my feet and allows me to pay attention to details and slow down a bit. I love being nurturing and taking time to shell the flowers! I follow the owners strict diets and regiments for their fur babies and keep things tidy. I respect the pet as I would any adult or pet of my own by keeping a close eye on them and developing a loving and trusted relationship.
“I recently had the pleasure of hiring Regina K. as a pet sitter for my cat, Layla, while I was on vacation, and I couldn’t be happier with the care she provided. Regina followed all of the instructions I left for her perfectly and took great care of Layla during each home visit. She was very nice and pleasant to communicate with, which made me feel at ease while I was away. Regina made sure Layla had her treats, wet food, and fresh water, cleaned the litter box thoroughly, and even spent time playing with her—something that meant a lot to me. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Layla’s well-being and comfort. I really appreciate Regina’s help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and attentive pet sitter. Thank you, Regina!”
“Isabel was absolutely wonderful. She was available in such short notice and took good care of our cat. She has a great personality and our cat loved her. Would 100% recommend her.”

Laura has been taking care of Flurry regularly for the past few weeks, and I couldn’t be happier with her care. She is thoughtful, organized, respectful, and compassionate, and I especially appreciate how much she adapts to Flurry’s individual preferences. He’s a very easily scared kitty, but Laura is incredibly patient and gentle, taking the time to build his trust drop-in by drop-in. I’m confident that he’ll continue to slowly open up to her, and Ill continue to book her services :)
Rosandy and Edward are absolutely fantastic people and pet caretakers. Blaze, Starlette, and myself are truly lucky to have them in our lives. As a flight attendant, I do get sad and worried when I am far away, but not so much now when I know Rosandy and Edward are there for my babies. Thank you always.
Tedy is everything you're looking for in a cat sitter. She is attentive, warm and treated our cats as if they were her own! Her amazing care and excellent communications made us so happy while we were away, knowing our furbabies were in capable hands. Thank you so much Tedy! We are so lucky to have found you!
You could not ask for a better person to look after the dearest members of your household. On top of being timely, communicative, professional, and incredibly friendly, Fiona cares about animals and doing right by them to a degree that I could not have imagined. Anybody would be lucky to have Fiona watch their animals.
Alexandrea is very dependable and prompt. It is obvious that she takes her drop ins very seriously. She plays with Sunny and sends us pictures and videos daily. She waters the plants and keeps Sunny’s areas clean. I am very happy with Alex’s services. Ms. Carole EP
I recommend Dorothy who took care of my cats while I was away for five days. She came twice a day to feed them, give them fresh water and refresh their litter boxes. My cats are afraid of strangers and they hid the entire time despite her efforts to befriend them, but they’re like that with everyone. When I came home, both cats looked well and the house was clean and well cared for. Dorothy followed my instructions for feeding them and sent me detailed updates of her visits every day. I usually hate to leave my cats but I felt they were in good hands with Dorothy.
Emily has been Coco’s regular dog walker for quite some time, and we truly could not have asked for someone better. She is incredibly reliable, trustworthy, communicative, and most importantly, genuinely cares about Coco. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that when we were at work, Coco was with someone we completely trusted. Emily was always dependable, kept us updated after their walks, and treated Coco like she was her own. Coco absolutely loves her, which says everything! We’re only parting ways because Emily received an amazing full-time opportunity, otherwise we would happily have kept her as Coco’s walker for years to come. Anyone who has the opportunity to have Emily care for their pet will be incredibly lucky. We’re going to miss her so much and can’t recommend her highly enough. ❤️🐾
Nusta was absolutely incredible. I truly could not have asked for a better person to care for our dog while we were overseas. She went above and beyond in every possible way - taking amazing care of him, vacuuming and helping keep our home clean, bringing in our mail and Farmer’s Dog delivery, and even helping me during an emergency when I lost my debit card. Most importantly, our dog was SO happy. He had the biggest smile on his face when we got home, and it was obvious how comfortable and loved he felt with her. This was an extended trip overseas during such an important time in our lives - we got engaged while we were away - and because of Nusta, I genuinely did not have to worry about a thing back home. I would recommend her to absolutely everyone on this app, without hesitation. We will definitely continue using her because, at this point, our dog has officially welcomed her into the family. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Nusta, for taking such incredible care of him and of our home. ❤️
Carolina is AMAZING! I just recently moved into my apartment, and was anxious about finding someone to take care of my dog (Staffie mix) and my cat - both senior pets - during a trip to visit family. I'm so glad I chose Carolina, she was absolutely fantastic - extremely professional, caring, and communicative throughout the visit, and I could tell from the first photo she sent that my pets were in great hands. The neighbors in my new building also had great things to say about her once I returned. I'm so grateful for her expert care, and definitely plan to book her again. Highly recommended!

- 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.
