“Denver is a responsible pet caregiver. He was prompt every morning and evening. He kept me up to date on Maizey’s visits. If he is not sure of something he is not afraid to message you for clarification. He took good care of my furbaby and I would definitely use him again.”
About: Love taking are of pets! I’ve had experience with caring for pups to seniors. I currently own 2 dogs now that I love so much! I’ve had dogs that have needed medication etc. I’m a teacher with afternoons off and I would love to check-in with your dog in the afternoons after work. Caring for your dog would be fun! I’m also available on weekends for various services. My dogs are crate free throughout the day but can be crated if needed. They love to roam around my home and enjoy walks daily!
“Doug was great; he went above and beyond what was expected. There is some sibling rivalry between my two cats and he made sure both of them had a chance to eat by sticking around and feeding them in separate rooms if need be. He also kept an eye on the house, and kept me informed of any suspicious activity in the neighborhood, made sure our windows were locked, took out the trash, etc. He was very communicative and responsive. This definitely made me feel more at ease during our trip. When the Microsoft crash shut all the airlines down, he reached out to see if our flight was affected and said he could keep feeding the cats if needed. I would highly recommend Doug for other pet owners, and would definitely use his services again in the future.”
“Jessica was great with our dogs! We had a last minute need for a drop-in sitter over Memorial Day weekend and Jessica was able to help us! She was very communicative, sent photos and updates, and even cleaned up after my senior dogs many accidents. in his pen Would definitely recommend and will use again!”
“Robyn was attentive, responsive, knowledgeable, and kind while taking care of our two cats while we were away. With one senior cat, and one much younger escape artist cat, I was worried about leaving them while my husband and I were traveling, but Robyn put my mind at ease with regular pictures, videos, and updates. 10/10 recommend!!”
About: I’ve cared for animals for over 6 years and have experience with dogs, cats, and other pets. I currently care for pets of my own and have also volunteered with animals through community service. I’m comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets, providing companionship, and following specific care instructions. I understand that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because caring for animals is something I do every day. I work part-time on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays, but I am available before and after work on those days. I have more flexibility on Mondays, Tuesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays for walks, drop-in visits, and extended pet care. I am reliable, responsive, and committed to making sure pets receive the attention and care they need. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I carefully follow feeding schedules, medication instructions, exercise routines, and any special care requests. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other animals, and I understand that every pet has unique needs. Whether caring for pets in your home or during visits, I provide a calm, loving environment and treat every animal as if they were my own. I also can provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident while you’re away.
About: I have been an animal lover my whole life! I graduated Austin Peay with a Bachelor’s in Agriculture and concentrated in Veterinary Technology. While I was in school, I worked at a boarding facility and daycare. I worked in an animal hospital for over 3 years until I had my son in November. I stay home with my son now as a full time mom. My veterinary experience allows me to administer medication, provide extraordinary care, and give lots of love! I currently am a stay at home mom to my son who was born in November! Our days are open and willing to help out families with their fur babies! I have 4 dogs of my own- 2 senior small girls, a senior lab (though she doesn’t act like it), and a middle aged silly boy! They are all friendly and welcoming to any animal in our home. I do have an unfenced yard but do have runners and will leash walk all animals in my yard. I am able to crate any animal if necessary.
“Lee Marie was WONDERFUL! She seemed to really enjoy my two kitties, and they certainly enjoyed having her drop by while I was away. Thank you so much, Lee Marie!”
About: I have always love animals and i even go to the animal shelter in my free time. I took care of 2 dogs when I was 17 and I absolutely loved it. I have always thrived on making animals feel cared for no matter what the circumstance. I am currently working with a changing schedule but not long shifts, So I have a very flexible schedule but still more than enough time for pet care! Your pet's health and happiness are my top priorities. I stick closely to feeding schedules, keep fresh water available, and ensure dogs get plenty of outdoor walks and potty breaks. Cats get clean litter boxes and active playtime. I'm also very patient with younger animals and handles any cleanups or accidents with care.
“Patricia took very good care of our older cat while we were away for a week. She was great at communicating and sent us an update and pictures after each visit. I highly recommend Patricia to anyone who needs a reliable pet sitter!”
“Rachael is very happy and works hard. She listens to the information she’s given at meet and greets. She doesn’t need her hand held; she just loves on your pets and does what’s asked of her. Will definitely use again! This time was for a drop in to let out and love on my Daisy a bit.”
“Nick is the best! I completely trust him in my home and with my dog! He is so knowledgeable about dogs and has so much experience. It’s important to me that while I’m at work on a long day that by baby is getting some love and getting to go outside and Nick is there to make sure she has food and water. It gives me peace of mind and I wouldn’t get that with just anyone! I absolutely recommend Nick ! He is an overall great guy who is very trust worthy. Finding the right fit for me and my dog was stressful but Nick made it easy :) Thanks Nick!”
“Nichole was awesome! Great communication, played with Lola ! She looked happy in all photos. Definitely will be booking her again! Thank you so much for taking care of Lola !!”

Denver was awesome with Regina(the pupper). He gave thorough updates, made sure she got outside, and spent time playing with her instead of just stopping in and leaving. He was also very responsive when I had questions. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing she was being well cared for. I’d absolutely use him again.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Springfield stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
