“Lana has been amazing! She really cares for animals, she’s dependable, a good communicator, and she takes what she does very seriously. I always get anxiety about someone else watching our dog, but I felt good knowing Lana was taking care of her. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate and reliable pet sitter.”

“This was my second time booking with Gabe, and it was great! They sent me such detailed and helpful updates on how my kitty was doing while I was away, which was super helpful especially as we were having a heat wave this week and I was worried about the cat overheating or getting dehydrated. Gabe also took the time to set out extra bowls of water when it seemed like that would help, even though I didn't include it in my initial instructions. I would book again with Gabe any time I am going out of town.”

About: I’ve been caring for dogs since I was six years old, so being around them comes very naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong ability to pay close attention to each pet’s behavior, needs, and routines. I currently have a small Jack Russell Terrier mix named Roscoe, who I’ve cared for and loved for over 10 years. We go on lots of walks together, and I truly enjoy staying active with dogs, so if your dog loves walks and being outside, they’ll fit right in and have a great time. Roscoe also enjoys playing with other small dogs, and I’m comfortable making sure those interactions are safe, positive, and fun. In addition to dogs, I also have experience caring for cats. I’ve helped with feeding and am very comfortable following detailed instructions, including administering medication such as insulin for diabetic cats. I understand how important it is to be careful, consistent, and attentive when it comes to pets with specific needs. What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every pet. I treat each one like family and will care for your pet with the same love, patience, and attentiveness that I give my own. I live very close to where I work, which allows me to be available for evening walks during the week. I’m also available for weekday boarding, depending on your pet’s needs. On weekends, I have full availability and can provide more flexible care. I’m located right next to Clark Park and several nearby dog parks, making it easy to give your dog plenty of outdoor time, walks, and play if you’d like. I also have great availability during the holidays, including Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s, as I rarely travel. You can count on me to be there when you need reliable care the most. I live in a secure apartment building with no direct access to the street, which adds an extra layer of safety. I have a friendly 10-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix who enjoys playing with other small dogs and going on walks. I’m very mindful when introducing pets and always prioritize safe, positive interactions. I’m a homebody, so your pet will rarely be left alone. I provide regular walks every 2–3 hours (or as needed) along with plenty of attention and care throughout the day. I also have an indoor camera set up so that if I do need to step out briefly, I can continue to monitor your pet and ensure they’re safe and comfortable. I love keeping owners updated and will happily share photos and updates while you’re away.

About: Hi there! My name is Cacie - I’m a West Philly-based artist, plant-mom, and four-time Broad St Run runner. I love dogs, and while I don’t have dogs of my own, I am a proud dog auntie. My services include house sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. I am very detail-oriented and pay close attention to pet-parent instructions, including meal time and amount, food, pet preferences, and exercise schedule. I’m also happy to provide cute pet photos with each visit, of course! Ready to schedule a Meet & Greet? Send me a message! Can’t wait to meet you! I work remotely with a flexible schedule Monday-Friday. Generally, weekdays between 10am-4pm are best for me, though I can often make walks outside of this window work with enough notice! I am not available on weekends. I am very detail-oriented and pay close attention to pet-parent instructions, including meal time and amount, food, pet preferences, and exercise schedule. I strive to create a calm, comforting environment during every visit!

About: Hi! I’m a second-year veterinary student at the University of Pennsylvania, and I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life! Between working in a veterinary clinic, caring for my own pets, and everything I’ve learned in vet school, I have plenty of hands-on experience with animals of all different personalities, ages, and needs. I’m comfortable administering medications, recognizing signs of illness, and caring for pets who may need a little extra attention. I’m also very active and love going on walks, runs, and spending time outdoors, so I’d be more than happy to keep your pet active and entertained! Of course, I’m just as happy hanging out with pets who prefer cuddles and a relaxing day at home. My schedule also gives me flexibility outside of classes, and I’d love to spend that time doing what I love most … being around animals! I know how important it is to feel confident leaving your pet with someone else, and I’ll always treat your pets like my own. I’m responsible, attentive, and happy to send plenty of pictures and updates while you’re away. Plus, your pet might even get a few extra practice physical exams out of the deal! 🐾 As a veterinary student, I have a pretty flexible schedule, especially on weekends! I love staying active, going on walks and runs, and spending time outdoors, so having a furry companion makes it even better! I also spend a lot of time studying at home, which means plenty of opportunities to keep your pets company, give them attention, and make sure they aren’t spending too much time alone. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine! Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities! As a veterinary student with previous experience working in a veterinary clinic, I’m comfortable handling animals with different personalities, temperaments, and care needs. I know how important consistency is, so I’ll carefully follow your instructions, whether that’s feeding schedules, medications, walks, grooming, or their favorite bedtime routine. I treat every pet like my own and will always make sure they’re getting plenty of love, attention, and care. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages so you know your pet is in good hands!

Though our kitty is very shy, Jae made an effort to play with him to get some energy out during her drop in. Would definitely look to book her again!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for dogs and cats of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I offer help with daily walks, feeding, playtime, litter box and potty care, crate routines, and giving basic medications when needed. I also work on reinforcing training cues so pets can stay consistent with whatever structure they already have at home. I’m very attentive and patient, and I pay close attention to animal body language so I can understand how each pet is feeling and what they need. I treat every pet like my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m especially comfortable with shy, anxious, or routine focused pets who do best with calm energy and a steady, reassuring presence. I am available for pet care throughout the day depending on scheduling needs, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can be flexible and adjust my time to make sure pets are getting regular attention, exercise, and companionship. No matter the situation, I make sure pet care is something I can fully show up for and prioritize. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m flexible and able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, as well as consistent weekly schedules or occasional last-minute needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow all care instructions carefully, keep doors and gates secure, and maintain a clean, calm environment. In clients’ homes, I respect routines and spaces while ensuring pets are supervised, comfortable, and stress-free. I stay alert on walks, avoid unsafe situations, and communicate promptly if anything seems off.

About: I’ve had dogs of my own since I was in elementary school and currently have two dogs that I absolutely love! I have years of hands-on experience walking, feeding, playing with, and caring for dogs as part of my everyday life. I’m very comfortable handling daily routines, keeping dogs active, and making sure they get plenty of attention and affection. As a college senior, I’m responsible, reliable, and would love the opportunity to care for your dog as if they were one of my own! I’m currently a senior at UPenn with a flexible class schedule that gives me plenty of time for dog walking and pet care. I’m generally available in the mornings and early evenings throughout the week, with additional afternoon availability on Mondays and Wednesdays. I’m completely free Friday through Sunday and have lots of flexibility on weekends for walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work around you and your pet’s routine whenever possible! I’m happy to care for pets in their own home or pick them up from a house or apartment for walks and outings. I’m very attentive to each dog’s individual routine and will always follow any feeding, walking, or care instructions provided. If caring for a dog at my home, we have a fenced-in backyard with plenty of space to safely play and get outside. There are currently no pets living with me, so your dog will have my full attention!

About: I’ve been a pet owner my whole life and understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. I’ve cared for, walked, and watched dogs of all sizes for neighbors, family, and friends, so I’m comfortable handling different personalities and energy levels. I always make sure dogs feel safe, get plenty of exercise, and receive the same care and attention I would give my own pets. I’m a graduate student with most of my classes scheduled in the middle of the day, which makes pet care easy to fit into my routine. I’m typically up early and also available in the evenings, so morning or nighttime walks work great for me. I already enjoy going on daily walks, so I’d love to include helping care for and exercise your dog as part of my day. I am happy to fit the needs of what is best for your pet in terms of care! Every pet is different and needs different attention.

About: I’m a mom to many exotic pets and am open to your furry friends as well as your scaly ones. 🐈🦎 Frogs, bearded dragons, etc. If I don’t have direct experience with your pet I am a quick and careful learner with a passion for correct & ethical care. 🐸 I love to play with pups and take them on long walks.

I may be the perfect pet sitter for you if your job is on a unique schedule! Your home’s safety and privacy is of utmost importance to me.

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.
