“Ashley is great with our pups! Her updates are very thorough. The pictures also speak volumes to the care she is giving them! I can always see each of our dogs' characters in the pictures, so I know she's spending some quality time with them. We will certainly use Ashley again when we are in need of quality, reliable care for our furry family :)”
“Was very impressed with how well the babies were taken care of and would definitely recommend booking with Liliana. She was so sweet to my babies even the scaly ones. Thank you for taking good care of my babies.”
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! Our dogs loved her, and she was incredibly kind and attentive. She truly went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and well cared for. Her communication was great which made everything so much easier. I would recommend her to anyone looking for reliable and exceptional pet care!”
“Shayla was awesome with our three attention-hungry dogs! This was our first time hiring someone to check in on our dogs and it could not have been a better experience. Shayla came to meet them and they immediately loved her! She was super-thorough in asking questions about their personalities, etc and even fed our fish too! We will definitely rebook with Shayla any time we need to be out of town!”
“Shannon is attentive to your pet as if they are her own. She was a very sweet down to earth girl I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with. Her visits are well documented with cute pics and detailed information about the visit. Her comfortability level with the bully breed was a huge plus! I highly recommend Shannon's services. Feel safe and confident choosing her to care for your pets.”
About: I have had all kids of fur babies since I was 5. Dogs, cats, reptiles, even helped rehabilitate and release some wildlife for a few years. I am free almost every day to play with, walk feed or bathe your fur babies! Weekends are also free for the most part! see you soon! I currently have a 2 year old Mountain Cur mix who is my little shadow! She is part of the family and she is spoiled rotten.
“I booked with Ms. Heather and she was so sweet! She did a meet and greet and sent me lots of updates whenever she came to walk max. It was very last minute and she still agreed and did a great job!”
About: I have experience caring for dogs and cats with a variety of personalities, energy levels, and needs. I enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and loved while their family is away. I’m attentive to each pet’s individual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, medication when needed, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I’m working part-time, so I’ll have plenty of time of time to care for your pets! I’m available for boarding Friday-Sunday, and weekdays after 1pm I have a fenced in backyard and a friendly dog to keep your pets company. I can easily create your dog if need. At your home I’ll take care of all animals making sure they get the care they need and making sure they have fresh water and use the bathroom.
About: I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and others, including feeding, walks, playtime, and overnight care. I’m used to following specific instructions and keeping pets on their normal routine. I’ve cared for dogs, cats, small birds, and bunnies. I’m comfortable with different temperaments and always aim to create a calm, safe environment for every pet. I’m a full time pet sitter who offers more than just overnight stays. I am available for early morning or late-night care as well. I’m open to last minute bookings as long as my schedule allows! :) I love caring for your pets as if they were my own. I am comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medications if needed! I love to make sure your pet is still on there normal routine if they have one, so always let me know any specific instructions.
About: Hi, I'm Cassy! As a lifelong dog lover, I understand that pets are family. Over the years, I've had the privilege of caring for four wonderful dogs from their playful puppy days through their senior years. That experience has taught me that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs—and I believe they deserve care that's tailored just for them. Now that my sweet senior dog has crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I have the time, flexibility, and desire to help other pet owners have peace of mind while they're away. Although I miss having a dog of my own, caring for yours is a wonderful way for me to continue doing something I truly enjoy. I specialize in planned vacation and travel care and currently offer drop-in visits, feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, companionship, medication administration, and individualized care based on your pet's specific routine. Whether your pet needs a leisurely stroll, extra patience as a senior, medication on schedule, or a special feeding routine, I'll care for them with the same attention and compassion I gave my own. At this time, I do not offer boarding in my home, overnight house sitting, or recurring daily visits. My focus is helping families who need dependable care while they're away on vacation, traveling for work, or attending special events. I'm a mature, dependable, and trustworthy professional who understands the importance of communication. I'll treat your home with respect, provide updates during my visits, and make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for until you return. I'd be honored to care for your furry family members and look forward to meeting you and your pets! Pet care fits naturally into my schedule because I have a flexible work routine. I intentionally accept only the bookings that I know I can fully commit to, allowing me to provide dependable, individualized care without overbooking myself. I specialize in planned vacation and travel care rather than recurring daily visits, so when I accept a booking, your pet becomes one of my priorities. I schedule my day around their feeding times, walks, medications, playtime, and companionship to keep their routine as consistent and stress-free as possible. I also believe great communication is an important part of quality pet care. While you're away, I'll send thoughtful updates and photos so you can relax knowing your fur baby is happy, safe, and well cared for. My goal is to keep you informed and reassured without overwhelming you with constant messages. My priority is for you to enjoy your time away with confidence, knowing your pet is receiving attentive, reliable care from someone who genuinely loves spending time with animals. At this time, I provide care in my clients' homes through drop-in visits and dog walking only. I do not currently offer boarding or pet sitting in my home because I have three resident cats who are accustomed to a quiet home environment. When caring for your pet, my goal is to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible. I'll follow your instructions for feeding, fresh water, walks, playtime, medications, and any special care your pet requires. I also make time for affection and companionship, because I know every pet has different emotional needs while their family is away. I'll treat both your pet and your home with the same respect and care I would expect for my own, and I'll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can enjoy your time away knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and well cared for.
“This was out first time leaving our Tachi at home and Madysen was such an excellent help! She was quick to respond and she really set all our worries at ease. Whenever we next travel, I’ll definitely be reaching out again, and you should too!!”

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.

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.
