“Brooklyn provides great care for my 2 kitties. I never felt anxious or worried about them while I was gone because I got multiple photos and an update with every visit.”
“Angel is the best! He loves the animals and they love him. He sends a message and pictures every visit. We know we do not need to worry when Angel is on the job. He is always on time and spends the allotted amount of time on each visit. We will hire him for any future trips!”
“Ashley did an amazing job taking care of my cats. They warmed up to her immediately and she took great care of them while I was away. The pictures she took during her visits were incredible. I would recommend her to anyone.”

“Brianna was great. She spent extra time coaxing my cat Emma out of her shell, and she sent photos each day showing that things were ok at home while I was gone. I would definitely have Brianna come in the next time I have to be out of town.”
“Chow was fantastic. We have always used a friend of the family to take of Piper, but this time, it didn't work out. Chow was so wonderful, attentive, managed to get a very shy Piper to come out, even get some cute photos. I highly recommend her and would ask for her again.”
“I highly recommend having Paul watch your family pet. My little Ava fell in love with him. He was thorough in his visits, gave so much affection to Ava, sent photos on walks, playing outside, and just relaxing on the sofa. This was her first Rover experience and it was magnificent. Thank you Paul!”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was a child including mostly dogs (big and small) and cats, but also am intrigued by other animals like reptiles, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I currently have a small dog and 2 cats of my own, but am hoping to take assist you in the care of your furry family members as well. Although I have no professional experience, my personal pet care experience includes bathing, nail trimming, brushing/deshedding, feeding (and putting medication in cheese), and most importantly playing with dogs and cats. I have also trained my current and prior dogs basic commands via treat/praise methods. I currently have availability to care for your furry family members on weekends and some weekdays/nights, as I do have other employment. I am not available for overnight boarding services. I am available for walks or care from your home. I am currently not taking clients that require boarding in my home. I am available to provide play, walks, cuddles, and feedings as needed to stimulate your furry friends until your return.
“Carley was so awesome with taking care of our pups! She sent photos of the visit and gave us updates of how it all went. She was very easy to communicate with throughout the entire process of setting up the visits and during the visit. Would definitely have her take care of our dogs again :)”
“Very professional and took great care of our fur babies. Communicated well and followed our checklist to the T. Highly recommend and I will be rebooking for our next trip!”
“Emma was great with our cat! She made sure she always had water and food, cleaned her litter box, and gave her lots of love and attention. She also sent lots of pictures and was great at communicating. Will definitely book her again!”
About: I took care of my mother’s dog while she was away at work. I now live with 3 dogs and while my roommates are busy with work, I make sure their pets’ needs are met as I have a flexible schedule I have a part-time janitorial job at multiple mental health facilities. I have a great amount of time on my hands in between morning and evening shifts. It’s perfect timing for a check-in or walk :) I tend to my roommates pets while they are at work because I’m usually home before them. I have a cat and take litter box clean up and odors *very* seriously.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Summit
Chloe did a great job taking care of my 2 cats. She gave them the attention they're used to getting. She also went above and beyond by cleaning up an accident. Knowing that my pets and my house were in good hands made my trip much more enjoyable. I'll definitely hire her again.
We had a wonderful experience with Meghan! She did everything we asked, was so kind and caring with our kitties, and kept us updated by sending pictures. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would definitely rebook with Meghan again!
My shy cats love Rhonda! She respects their space and lets them come out to interact and play when they're ready. Rhonda has watched our boys twice now and she's earned their trust quickly. My senior cat who hides from new people waits for Rhonda at the top of the stairs when he hears her come in!

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.
