“Ebony is so rare. They update and take care of your dog and cat like they were their own. I’m so grateful to have someone get to know my dog’s personality and be patient with them while I was away. It makes travel and being away more enjoyable knowing they are in good hands. Appreciate it more than you know. Mary Louise”
“Sarah was a great sitter, really communicative and attentive to my two kitties. She sent detailed updates and pictures with each visit so I knew my guys were well taken care of. Excellent service, would use again!”
“Jennifer has been there when I needed her most. As a biologist with unpredictable fieldwork I appreciate it SO SO much!! I love the rover reviews she leaves after every check in and she takes great pictures too”
“Deana was an absolute gem! We had so many particular requests that she accommodated with our travel plans. Our hedgehog has specific needs that she meticulously provided for. Our cat was cared for in such a considerate way with the weather and his outdoor activity taken into account for his safety. She even trained him to play fetch! Couldn’t be happier!”
“Robbin was SO wonderful with my sweet Nola. She provided prompt communication and even was able to extend her stay when I needed her to. She’s great! My baby and home were well cared for.”
“Simon was a phenomenal caretaker for my guy Cornelius. Checked in and out with every visit, communicated amazingly throughout the entire time. He definitely has a knack for taking great doggo pics. Was also able to accommodate a last minute booking and extension of service due to travel delays. Highly recommend booking with him if you want someone caring about your dogs much as you do while you’re not there!”
“I can’t say enough wonderful things about E and their amazing care of my rambunctious new kitten! I received daily updates that quelled my mama guilt about leaving this unexpected new family member alone for the week of vacay. Will 100% book again and again!”
About: I have over 7 years of experience caring for dogs and cats, focusing on daily walks and overnight care. For the past 5 years, I have raised my own gentle pup, Poopoo, who is well-trained and keeps me experienced in consistent walking, feeding, and providing comfort at night. Before that, I spent 2 years in Korea helping my family raise another dog, giving me a strong background in handling different breeds and personalities. I also have 2 cats at home who are very friendly with other pets! Neighbors, friends, and family have trusted me not only to walk their dogs but also to care for them overnight when they travel. I make sure each dog feels safe and loved—whether it’s long walks for active dogs, gentle care for seniors, or overnight stays where they get the comfort of a steady routine. I currently have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate plenty of time to dog walks and overnight care. I usually work part-time, so I’m available for morning and evening walks on weekdays, as well as extended overnight stays when you need to travel. On weekends, I can offer even more flexible availability for boarding and longer walks, making sure your pup gets the exercise, love, and attention they deserve. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. At home, I live in a pet-friendly environment with a calm, well-trained dog who is used to other pets. I make sure walks are always safe—using secure leashes and keeping a close eye on surroundings. For overnight care, I provide a quiet and comfortable space where your pup can feel at ease, and I always follow your instructions closely regarding feeding, routines, and any special needs.
“Dani was fantastic! She even stopped in extra because my dogs were being a bit more needy than I anticipated! She kept me up to date with pictures and comments so I knew what was going on and we could make decisions together! She truly made it like my animals were her babies as well! 100% recommended!”
“Christina is the best! I know that three dogs can intimidate most people but her gentle and understanding attitude put my babies at ease instantly upon meeting. She shared many pictures with me of my babies and you could tell that they were comfortable and happy with her company. I would highly recommend her.”
About: I can take your active dog for long walks, give an older dog a little local stroll, or just give some love and attention to your cat. I have a big heart for all creatures, especially the furry ones. rest assured that whether going on walks, spending time outside, or enjoying snuggles on the couch, your pup will be secure and nurtured. I work from home and coffee shops as a freelance writer, so I can be available to care for your loved one during the day. I keep a pretty regular schedule, generally wake up around 7 begin work around 10 AM, take a lunch break between noon and 2 pm, and end work by 6 PM and am in for the night by 10 PM on weekdays. So, I would be able to offer 2-3 walks a day, depending on heat levels. I cannot host pets at my home, so I am only available to housesit or drop by for walks and visits. When in a client's home, I always clarify and follow personal preferences and house rules (ex. pets allowed or not on furniture, no guests in the home, etc.)
About: Pets, cats and dogs specifically, have been an important part of my life since childhood — one of the best parts of life! My first cat, Merlin, lived to the overly ripe age of 20, and I now have a puuuuurrrrfect house tabby and a crazy old hound dog. Over the years, I’ve adopted and nurtured, rescued, fostered — been scratched, bitten, peed on, and cleaned up who knows how many different types of bodily fluids! It’s always worth the effort. I even worked for a veterinary clinic in my earlier career. While I’m new to Rover, I’m not knew to helping friends and family with their pets when they’ve needed temporary care or expertise with health, grooming, or behavior. Young or old, small or large, lazy or crazy — I take everyone as they come and am happy to extend patience, comfort, and playfulness as required. I’m not averse to health issues, so I’m happy to specialize in senior care. I currently work full-time, regular daytime hours Monday through Friday, so during the week, I’m available for early morning or early-to-late evening drop-ins and walks. Weekends are much more flexible as needed. For drop-ins or daily walks, I cater to your pet’s specific needs while respecting your personal home or work environment. I'm super flexible and am happy to work with whatever instruction you provide to ensure your pet has the stability and comfort that keeps them happy while their person is away.
About: As a certified dog-person since age 5, I am experienced in caring for a variety of dog breeds, across all stages of life. From chihuahuas to pitbulls, I am competent and enthusiastic to get to know your best four-legged friend. As a contract-working creative, I have a flexible schedule to accommodate your pets’ needs. Need a grocery store pickup or park visit? I know the spots in New Orleans and have a car for easy transportation. When your fur babies spend time with me, expect social interaction, play, and detail-oriented care. Furthermore, in-home services are left with a home that is just as clean— if not cleaner, than before your trip.
“Stacey and Patrick were amazing with our two dogs. They were incredibly professional and followed our guidelines to the letter. They were so kind and loving to our dogs. They payed close attention to the details of each dog's very specific needs. I was able to be completely comfortable that my dogs were cared for and loved. Highly, highly recommend them.”
About: I grew up with dogs and have cared for dogs of all sizes with varying needs. I am happy to assist in maintaining training routines and can be flexible with work to meet your pet’s needs. I work for a nonprofit that allows work from home, so I can be flexible in order to meet your pet’s needs. I won’t commit to being your sitter unless I am confident I will be able to support you and your pet. I am available weekends. I want to help your pet feel as supported as possible, including any parts of your routine that you feel are important. I am happy to go over your pet’s needs with you and want to make sure I can provide the best care for them.
“If I could give more than five stars I would. Doc was absolutely great. They came by before we left just to make sure we were on the same page and to meet Maisie and Fiona. Maisie is usually very suspicious of new people and takes a while to warm up… not with Doc! They were both instantly comfortable and friendly with Doc. We were completely comfortable leaving them in Doc’s hands. The updates and pictures were terrific. I can’t express my gratitude enough 🙏🙏🙏”
About: I was always the one to take care of our families dogs while growing up, so I have a lot of experience! Smaller dogs, bigger dogs, senior dogs…does not matter to me! I am currently ending an Americorps term so I have all the time in the world to play with your pups! I also always appreciate a daily dose of serotonin :) I always make sure there are clear instructions or specifics provided by the client when watching their pups if necessary! A safe and trustful environment is crucial in this type of work, which is my number one priority. An attentive attitude is also crucial, especially when being in a clients home.
“Lindsey was great! She was flexible with our initial meet and greet. She did daily drop ins for my two cats while I was gone for a week. She always had the rover cards ready and took the best photos and videos! I know my kitties were in good hands. Definitely will be booking her in the future!”
“Shelby was a lifesaver! Having recently moved to the city, it’s hard to turn right around in the midst of unpacking. Shelby, gave us the peace of mind we needed. We got regular updates and check-ins. Thank you!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Storyville
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Kelsie! I am so grateful I found her for my three fur babies! (Cats) She is such a kind and compassionate sitter. Sent lots of pics and let me know what they were all up to. She was so good at learning their personalities and every message she sent reflected that. She definitely knows how to speak a cat's language and they love and appreciate her! They would be so happy to have her again! My husband and I would too! We felt so comfortable on our trip that they were in great hands and very cared for. Thank you Kelsie!
Daphne has a rather unique ability to roll with the punches of New Orleans life and also provide consistent care and attention to detail. Undeterred by weather and an unpredictable alarm system, she consistently arrives with her focus on my cats. Highly recommend A+++
Angela is fantastic! She is reliable, super friendly, and flexible. She took care of our little menagerie perfectly while we were away. It takes such a load off to know that the pets are cared for by someone we trust while we are travelling. We loved getting the pictures every day!
Caroline is absolutely amazing! She stopped by to let the dogs out and feed them, and even took the time to wash the dishes, which was not even part of her drop in. She always goes above and beyond, and it’s clear she genuinely cares. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my babies are in such good hands. I can’t recommend her enough!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Hanna went above and beyond! I was gone for 2 weeks and never had to wonder or worry how my 2 fur babies (cats) were doing. Even though one warmed up to her the other one was scared. But I got pictures every day even if Jasper was in the closet!! When I returned they had a smell-a-thon like usual. Hanna left no messes and even swept the floor. Hanna is very pleasant and down to earth. I will want to hire her again when I travel. Highly recommend!

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 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.
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 Meet & Greet.
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. 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.
