“Kara was very responsive and took great care of our gecko lizard and home. She was very communicative and responded very quickly. Our family will continue to use Kara as a pet sitter in the future.”
“Melissa and Dane are absolutely AMAZING! They saved us when we had to go out of town on such short notice. They are very responsive, kind and loving towards our dog and even bought her a toy (so sweet). I promise you will not regret having them take care of your pets ☺️”
About: Hello! We have many years of experience providing reliable and loving pet care. Your pets will feel right at home in our safe, family-oriented environment, and we are committed to caring for them as if they were our own. We offer a true “home away from home” experience—no kennels. Pets are welcome on furniture, have full access to our home, and can enjoy a large, fenced backyard for play and Someone is always home, so your pet will receive constant supervision, companionship, and plenty of affection. Our home includes seven young children, so we do require that dogs are comfortable and friendly around people. Our children are taught to interact gently and respectfully with animals, and they love playing outside and engaging with our visiting pets. Cats are cared for individually, and we are happy to accommodate those who may be more reserved or less social. Please note that we often host multiple dogs at a time. If you are specifically looking for one-on-one care, feel free to reach out—we may be able to accommodate depending on availability. Thank you for considering us. We look forward to providing your pet with a safe, loving, and enjoyable stay! My husband and I do this full time so we have plenty of time to give lots of love and cuddles to Your fur baby. The kids are in school most of the day and it’s just my husband and I and our younger kids. We like to let the dogs come and go into the back yard as they please and feel at home. We will make sure your pup is safe and well taken care of while your away all while burning off some energy and having fun! We only watch pets in our home.
About: I have had dogs my whole life and my own cat for the past few years. I’m great with all breeds and sizes of both dogs and cats and flexible on pay for your pet sitting needs! I am very open with my schedule, however would appreciate at least a 3 days notice when reaching out regarding pet care. As of right now I’m only doing drop in visits for both cats and dogs! I am very respectful of clients housing/property and a very diligent person. Locking up houses and double checking to make sure things are locked up and doors are shut is something I am very cautious about!
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life and truly love caring for them. I’m the type of sitter who talks to your pet like they’re my best friend and makes sure they feel safe, loved, and at home. I’m comfortable with all ages, whether it’s helping a puppy learn the ropes or giving extra patience and care to seniors. I have a day job, but I’m always available for pet care in the mornings, after 5 p.m., and overnight. Wednesdays and weekends are completely open, so I can give extra time and attention then. I make it a priority to show up with care, energy, and consistency whenever I’m with your pet. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always prioritize their comfort and routine. I make sure to follow any specific instructions closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walks, or medication—so your pet feels safe and secure. I respect your space, keep things clean, and aim to make your pet feel as relaxed as possible while you’re away.
“Thank you, Ron and Monica, for taking wonderful care of our little Tiger girl. We cannot thank you enough for making sure she is secure, happy and well fed while we are out of town. And the fact that she is comfortable with you both--means so much to us. You are the best! :)”
“Tina took great care of our cocker spaniel in our motorcoach while we traveled to a different area of Idaho for two nights. She dropped in three times a day and played with her for an hour each visit. She showed up on time for all visits and our dog was so comfortable with Tina she even ate when we were gone, which is unusual for her. Would highly recommend Tina.”
“Five stars for Jamie! She did fantastic drop-in visits for Chewy, providing walks, feeding, and consistent updates. The photos she sent made it clear that Chewy trusted her and was in great hands. She was also highly professional and accommodating when my schedule changed. I will absolutely be using her again and recommend her to anyone in need of a reliable, caring dog sitter! Thank you so much!”
About: Like many animal lovers, I raised cats and dogs the majority of my life. Even raised 9 pups from my own dog! I’d like to help take care of your pets with you. My previous work had me travel for 3 years so I understand how challenging it can be to have someone watch your pets. You wonder if they’ll be as nice, gentle, caring, and active as you are with them. (Or if your pet will pick them over you for being away so long!) I will be as, if not more, attentive to your pets while you are away. Like the title says - I’m a realtor! My schedule is open and most of my work can be done through my phone or laptop. I do go to the gym and can adjust my schedule to be morning or evening depending on your needs. Early start for my dogs! 5am walks to start their day along with clean bowls before every feeding! I use a filtered water system for them, but that’s also cleaned weekly. If your pets are like mine then all that hair is a bit messy. So, brushing is a must! They do like to get on the couch so vacuuming is a must too! No kennel for them. Just their own cots. As for bathing and grooming - as needed.
“Brianna was great! We needed help with our 2 dogs last minute. She made time to come meet us & our dogs and it was obvious she is comfortable with dogs - they all were great together.”
“Atticus was great with taking care of our cats as well as being agreeable to taking care of non-pet related tasks such as taking out the garbage to the curb and bringing in packages. Atticus was communicative, agreeable to a meet and greet, and stuck to the care schedule. I would book with Atticus in the future and recommend others do the same.”
“She was absolutely wonderful! My dogs loved her, and I felt comfortable knowing they were in good hands while I was away. She was attentive, noticed when something needed to be cleaned up, followed my additional requests, brought in my mail, and kept me updated throughout the visits. I really appreciated her flexibility and how well she cared for my dogs and my home. I would definitely book her again and highly recommend her!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Star
Aimee and her son Jacob took very good care of my dog Daisy. It was a bonus that they live in my neighborhood. They followed all my care instructions. I really appreciated them coming over for a meet and greet beforehand and the updates with photos of the drop in visits. Most importantly, Daisy seemed happy and looked well when we returned home. We will definitely use their service again!
Kimberly was amazing. Dropped in morning and evening to feed/play with our dogs while we were out of town. Kept us updated with photos and via text message. I seriously have no faults on Kimberly and her service. She managed 4 complex doggos - one has cancer, one has wobblers syndrome, one is a puppy, and the other being the dominant leader of the pack. Highly recommend Kimberly!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Star choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.

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.
