“Sammi was phenomenal. She checked on my babies while I was getting married and made my hectic weekend way less stressful. She is great at communicating and my dog and cat were very happy with her! I would definitely recommend her to anyone needing a pet sitter!”
“Savannah did another superb job at checking in on Princess We are so happy to have gotten to know Savannah as she checks in and sends pics and comments about her visits.”
“McKenzie took wonderful care of our dog Nala while we were away for the weekend. She communicates well, responds quickly, and sends lots of pictures. Absolutely will be booking with her again for our further trips. You can trust that your fur babies are in excellent hands with her!!”
“Skylar was excellent. She spent extra time with our Ki when he wasn’t feeling well and offered to take him wherever we needed him to go for medical care. Ki is an elderly pup and knowing that Skyler was visiting and caring for him helped us enjoy our family trip. We highly recommend Skylar, and we are beyond grateful for her caring personality.”
About: I have experience caring for dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, birds, and fish. I have a degree in Wildlife Resources from WVU. I have had many animals over the years and will love your pets just the same. :) I’m currently working part-time so I will be available to fit your animals into my schedule on most days. I look forward to working with you and meeting your pets! I have three cats and one dog who are all friendly with other animals, but if your fur baby is not, I’d be happy to watch them in your home instead.
“Marissa does a great job handling my 5 girls. 4 take medication and 3 are terrible about eating when mama isn’t home. She takes on the challenge and my girls seem very happy with her! I will continue to rebook as long as she is available!”
“She was so sweet and took amazing care of our furballs. She was super patient with our senior kitty who is spicy but ended up becoming friends. Will definitely be using her again”
“Alaska was so great with our 5 year old cat, Noelle! She was incredibly attentive, prompt, and communicative. I would recommend Alaska’s services to anyone, she is great with animals. Our cat connected with her right away & we’re so grateful for the care she provided while we were away for the holidays.”
“Stephanie was an outstanding petsitter for my cat. She was flexible with her schedule when I needed to extend my trip after booking and went above and beyond, sending me daily photos and updates of my pet cat as well as giving some of my drier looking plants a little water. I can't recommend her enough.”
“Alicia was great to work with. Very flexible with times and dates. She was extremely communicative, great with our cats, and extremely trustworthy. We will definitely book her in the future!”
About: I've had experience with puppies to powdered sugar muzzles and from <10lbs to 100+! High energy or a friend who loves a nap, I'll do by best to help your dog have a good time even when you aren't there for the fun. I'm currently a graduate student on summer break with a pretty open schedule. I may pick up a more traditional hourly job on the side, but I'm excited for the opportunity to stay busy over the summer and meet some amazing people and pets while I do it. As I have pets of my own who are a bit easily stressed, I do not offer services where your pet will be in my home. However, I have no issues coming to you! In your home, I will be calm and respectful and don't mind cleaning up any messes your pet may have made.
“Carter was wonderful! She came everyday for check ins and stayed the full amount of time with our cat (other sitters we’ve had in the past left check ins early). She responded to our cat’s needs and moods depending on the day (sometimes playing with her, sometimes snuggling with her) which we loved. Receiving daily pictures and updates while we were away was so comforting (we’re very attached to our little Ava). :) Thank you, Carter!”
“Jessica is always great! She responds quickly, she is very punctual and always takes great care of my Lukie and my place. We will definitely continue to book her.”
About: I’ve cared for dogs my whole life and have owned cats for nearly 8 years. Friends, family, and neighbors have relied on me to check in, feed, walk, and spend quality time with their pets. I pay close attention to each animal’s personality and energy. Some pets want play and need lots of attention, while others need space and patience. Rest assured, I’m comfortable adjusting to both! I also have hands-on experience giving medication to both cats and dogs, including daily care for my diabetic cat and my dog with her regular medication dosages. I genuinely enjoy getting to know each pet’s personality and, of course, making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. I’m happy to help with walks, playtime, or just keeping them company! I have a very flexible schedule right now, which allows me to be available for drop-in visits, walks, and extended care throughout the week and weekends. I am currently taking classes, so my routine is consistent but adaptable. I’m able to plan my day around your pet’s needs and stick to their usual schedule. Whether that means regular walks, feeding times, or check-ins, I make sure your pet gets reliable and consistent care. I focus on providing drop-in visits to keep your pet comfortable, and I am very dependable with schedules to make sure your pet stays on their normal routine.
About: I have 2 dogs (Archie & Cheney) and grew up watching and feeding pets on the weekends for family, friends and neighbors. While in school I worked at horse stables for 4 summers and had multiple golden retrievers, cow dogs and farm animals to take care of. I work from home full time with my dogs by my side. I’m regularly available in the morning, lunch time and after 4pm for dog walks. Also, available throughout the day for pet check ins, flexible schedule on the weekends. Will take good care of pets and home while in your space. Will be respectful of your home and community while walking your dog. I’m flexible throughout the week and weekend to assist with your dogs/ cats.
About: I have taken care of neighbors and friends dogs, taking them on walks, stopping in to play with them, and overnight stays. Experience with puppies, older dogs, big, and small pups. I have dog sat for Dachshunds, Goldendoodles, Springer spaniels, and Golden Retrievers. Currently my days are open, as I search for part time jobs before starting school part time again in the fall. Open to anything, looking for stuff to fit into my pretty open days. I care for pets with love and follow instructions left by owners closely. My goal is to make the pet and owner as happy as possible!
About: I have been watching dogs on and off for the past 10-15 years. I have a 11 year old miniature poodle who just happens to be the sweetest. I also owned a Doberman pittbull mix but she died at nine years old in August. I have basic puppy training skills and some experience with older, chronically ill pets. As of right now, early afternoon and evening are great. Tuesday and Thursday evenings are busy though. Weekends are pretty open, especially in the evening. I have a miniature friendly poodle and a spunky 3 year daughter if a small dog needed to stay the afternoon. As for taking care of animals at their home, play time, walks, giving meals, kitty litter changes and, small fun trips are included😊

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Star City
Payton was perfect! Our dogs and cat were in great hands while we were on vacation. Our pitbull, Bella, is a little nervous with strangers and Payton and even came out to our house to meet her before we left town. Bella warmed up to her and I think that just shows how good with animals Payton is. She came to the house 3 times a day just as we discussed! Would definitely hire her again🩷
Anna has consistently demonstrated not only her passion but her love for caring with every interactions with Holly. I’m so grateful to have found such a kind human being to care for my little girl. Thank you for being flexible and communicating with me — I appreciate you greatly!
Katy is professional, knowledgeable and dependable. She always does a great job handling our 3 cats. She is able to meet them at their various social levels from super friendly youngster, to mostly friendly teen to our older "seen it all and not impressed" cat.
Abby was incredibly sweet and communicated very well throughout the entire experience. She was wonderful with our older girl, Willow, and even sent us a picture to keep us updated, which I really appreciated since I tend to worry. We highly recommend her and would absolutely use her again.
Stephanie was wonderful to my cats! She provided updates every day. I have two very shy girls and she always made sure to check and see if they were hiding under the bed like normal and doing ok. She also did miscellaneous things in my home like fix my broken toilet seat. I highly recommend and will have her watch my cats again in the future!
Morgan responded quickly to my inquiry and was happy to help. When I needed to drop a day due to sickness she was accommodating and so nice about it. She was patient with me as I hadn’t updated my instructions like I meant to and still took care of everything I needed her to. I definitely will be hiring Morgan 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 Star City 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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 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.
