“Dani was absolutely amazing! We booked her with short notice on a holiday weekend and she agreed without hesitation. I loved all the updates and seeing all the amazing pictures she got of our dogs. Our dogs absolutely loved her and they were well taken care of while we were gone. We will definitely be using her services again!”
“Kelly was incredible! She really rolled with the punches & took amazing care of our two girls— including giving medication to our spazzy one! We will definitely keep her in mind when looking for sitters in the future!”

“Christian did a great job with our cat drop-in visit. He was on time, made sure their water was topped off, spent time playing with them, and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and cared for. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.”

“Tracie was wonderful. Needed last minute care and she was available. Punctual and followed our instructions. Sent a bunch of pictures. And I forgot to mention the two cats, who normally hide but she got pictures of them ❤️ will definitely use her again!”
“One of our cats became ill while we were away and Ali handled the situation to perfection. Got our girl to an emergency vet and even attempted to bring her to her follow up with our regular vet (Goose would not cooperate) the next day. Great reports and pictures our entire trip and she handled a very stressful situatuation like a champ. We are very grateful.”
“Erin is a wonderful pet sitter. She made sure my cat was very well cared for and loved everyday. My shy kitty really liked Erin as she would greet her at the door with lots of purrs and cuddles. I highly recommend Erin and will use her again.”
About: I’ve had animals all of my life, and I currently have a dog and a cat now. Also, I’ve taken care of dogs/cats since I was old enough to do so! Whether it was as a job or for a friend, I bathed, fed, and cared for them like they were my own! I currently only work a couple hours a day so I am usually available after 10 A.M. Other than those few hours, I am home every day! I live right in front of a big park as well as an actual dog park so your dog will have plenty of space to play! I myself have a dog and a cat who are very playful and get along with anyone and everyone. My dog would love to keep your dog company, as he thinks that play time is anytime! I can also crate your dog if needed!

Contact me today to schedule a dog walking session or drop in visit; you will be able to relax knowing that your dog is getting the care and exercise it needs while you are away. My schedule is flexible, with openings mainly in the mornings and afternoons during the week and weekend. Contact me for specific times and availabilities, as my schedule may change. I will ensure that your pet is secured on a leash for a walk, stays out of the roadway as much as possible, and will avoid other dogs when necessary.
“Ashlynn has been terrific with our furs, and we have been happy asking her first each time we need a pet sitter. She communicates well and is quite punctual. Definitely recommended.”

I also make sure they have a full bowl of water and food, also get outdoor exercise!
“Alyssa is amazing with your girl. She gives updates and pics. Our cat loves and trust her and our cat is usually shy. She will remain our go-to as long as she can. Thanks for being great!!”
About: Hi! I’ve been caring for animals for over six years, with a lifelong love for pets that started growing up in a home full of rescues and adoptions. That experience helped me become patient, attentive, and comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I work from home full-time, which means your pet will get plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, or needs a little extra care, I do my best to make them feel safe, comfortable, and at home. I don’t currently have pets of my own, so I truly enjoy giving my full attention to the pets I care for, it’s something I genuinely look forward to! Occasionally, I may step out for a few hours due to military training, but this is rare and I always plan ahead to ensure your pet’s needs are fully met. Thank you for considering me! I’d love to be a trusted sitter for your furry companion ❤️ I work from home full time so I fit pet care into my schedule before work, during breaks and after work. Feeding is based off of the pet’s eating schedule. Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide one-on-one care only, which means your pet will never be booked alongside other animals. Pets are welcome to roam freely and get comfortable in my home, helping them adjust naturally to their surroundings. They’re welcome to relax on the couch and sleep in the same room as me (though I do keep the bed pet-free). I make it a point to keep pets engaged and happy with regular playtime, affection, and a consistent routine. During downtime, I even leave on pet-friendly TV (like animal channels) to create a soothing and familiar atmosphere.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs for about 8 years and I’ve honestly always loved being around animals. I started by helping neighbors, friends, and family, and it just turned into something I really enjoy doing.I’m super patient and I pay attention to what each pet needs, because I know every dog is different. I have experience with all kinds of dogs big, small, puppies, seniors and I’m good at matching their energy whether they wanna play a lot or just chill.I’ll treat your pet like they’re my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re gone. I also know how important it is to trust the person watching your pet, so I’ll always keep you updated and make sure you feel good about everything. My schedule is pretty flexible, so I have a good amount of time to focus on your pet and not rush anything. I’m available most days and can work around your pet’s normal routine, whether that’s walks, feeding times, or just hanging out with them.I’m also good with last-minute bookings when I can, so if you ever need help, I’ll always try my best to make it work. I always make sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and cared for, whether I’m in your home or mine. I pay attention to their behavior and needs so they feel relaxed and not stressed while you’re away.I’ll follow whatever routine you have for them and keep things consistent, and I’ll always keep you updated so you know how your pet is doing. I treat every pet like they’re my own, and I take that responsibility seriously.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - South Suffolk
Taylor was a great friend to my fur baby Misty! She came every day and was reliable, communicative and soooo loving to my girl. I could tell from the updates and photos Taylor sent that Misty was enjoying her time with Taylor and Taylor enjoyed her time with my kitty too! I asked her to take care of a few special things to prepare for the extra stress of the Fourth of July and she did them as requested. She also brought in packages we received in our absence. She is a kind and caring young woman and I highly recommend! Thank you Taylor!
Lex was so kind and considerate with Mickey. Mickey very clearly liked her a LOT and he was not nearly as clingy as usual when I got home which indicated to me that she must have spent quality time with him. She brought in all the mail, refilled the water fountains, opened and closed blinds, cleaned the litter box as well. Lex is a Saint!
Christian did a great job with our cat drop-in visit. He was on time, made sure their water was topped off, spent time playing with them, and sent plenty of pictures and updates while we were away. It was obvious he genuinely cared about making sure they were comfortable and cared for. We’d definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable sitter.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
