“As always Madison was amazing and took wonderful care of my cat. She is always on time and sends me the cutest shots of him. I HIGHLY recommend her!! Thank you again!!”
“Kelsey was amazing with our 3 pups while we were away for a few days! We opted for 2-3 daily check in visits which worked great for our dogs. Our three dogs are different ages and have slightly different care needs. Kelsey was able to accommodate them all and our dogs seemed happy and calm while we were away.”
“Mary was awesome. She accommodated a pretty short notice request for our first time for a drop-in. And while our dogs can be anxious around new people, she had no concerns and took them out and played with them and they had a blast. We will definitely be using her services again.”
“My cat Storm is very very VERY shy, but within two days Rachel got her out from her hiding spot and by the end of the week, Storm was sitting in her lap. I normally have a lot of anxiety leaving Storm but Rachel helped alleviate those fears. I will definitely be booking Rachel again for future vacations! Thanks again!!! 🥰”
“Nicole was absolutely amazing. She cared for our guinea pigs and cat like they were her own. Nicole was very communicative and attentive to what each animal needed. Cant wait to work with Nicole again and can’t recommend her highly enough!”
About: I have experience watching dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages. I have watched reactive dogs as well as some dogs with disabilities. I am very passionate, communicative, respectful, and flexible sitter. I am currently working a full time job but work remote 3 out of 5 work days. This allows me to be fully attentive to your dog on those remote days. I’m also available during the weekends and in the evenings! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your pooches company. With that being said, I can easily separate them as well if need be. Additionally at a clients home, communication, making your dog comfortable, and safety are my number one priorities.
About: Over 10 years of experience caring for my own pets, fostering dogs for rescues and my local shelter, and pet sitting for friends and family. I’ve cared for dogs at every stage of life from bottle-feeding newborn puppies to meeting the special needs of senior dogs. I’m experienced with positive-reinforcement training, daily walks and exercise, specialized feeding routines, medications and individualized care needs. Most importantly, I understand that our four-legged companions aren’t “just pets” - they’re family. I provide every dog with the patience, love, attention, and personalized care I would want for my own. While I work full-time, my schedule is flexible, allowing me to provide reliable pet care during evenings, weekends, and holidays. I’m happy to work with your schedule and your pet’s routine, whether you need a weekend sitter, evening visits, or extra care while you’re away for a holiday. My goal is to make your time away worry-free, knowing your pets are receiving plenty of love, attention, and personalized care. I’m happy to care for your dogs in the comfort of their own home, following your instructions and maintaining their normal routines as closely as possible. I’ll tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs, whether that means feeding schedules, walks, playtime, training, medication, or simply providing companionship and attention.
“Anahi is a wonderful person and sitter! She is friendly, kind, and a great communicator. I was very nervous as it was my first time using the site to find a sitter, but I made the right choice booking Anahi. I was not expecting my shy cat to interact with her right away, but from the first visit, she was sharing pictures of them playing together, and him seeking her out for affection as she walked in on the second visit. I do believe animals are a great judge of character and I will be booking her for my next trip. Highly recommend.”
About: Hello my name is Antonio. All my life I have been surrounded by cats and dogs. I love playing with animals and taking them out for long walks. Also, I am able to administer any oral medication or treatment needed for your furry friends!!! I am a middle school special education science teacher, so during the summer I am free. Mondays are my long days but other than that I am pretty much free any day of the week. I treat all animals as if they were my own, and I give them the proper care they deserve. I have a mini fenced in backyard but I may do walks around the block. I am able to provide separation during feedings, and any accommodations that are necessary for your loved one to feel happy and safe.
“Ginny was very reliable and sweet. She was able to make my extra shy cat comfortable with her and spent time making him feel safe. She sent lots of pictures, too! Highly recommend!!! I felt at ease with her taking care of my cat while away.”
About: Hi! My name is Joe Mattimoe, I’m a reliable dog walker/sitter based in beautiful Wall Township. Dogs have always been a big part of my life, and over the years I’ve gained experience walking, caring for, and connecting with dogs of every breed and personality. I also have some hands-on training experience through Wild Rover K9 Services in Point Pleasant, Where I gained practical skills in handling, basic obedience, and canine behavior—allowing me to provide calm, structured, and enjoyable walks tailored to each dog. Whether your dog is energetic or prefers a gentle stroll, I offer reliable, caring service every time. Their safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, experienced, and truly passionate about dogs, I’d love to help! I make my own schedule each month and have flexibility since I am semi-retired. Once I book a dog service, my day/week/schedule revolves around that client. I have access to a fenced in yard a walk away from my home (mother-in-law) it is a good way to get another walk in and then play. I can crate, and follow owner’s directions. If your dog needs to sleep in the bed, they will. If they need to be crated or left to roam around, they will. We take care of a special needs dog who has a hard time jumping up to the bay window in our home. We take the first pillow of the couch, place it on the floor so he can jump up and get to it. We rearrange the entire living room for this little guy and he loves it. Just an example.

I highly recommend Madison! She took excellent care of my two cats while I was away and gave me complete peace of mind. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about my pets as if they were her own. My cats were happy, well cared for, and relaxed when I returned home. I would absolutely book with her again and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet 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.
