“Sarah was fantastic! She looked after my cat over Christmas and was punctual, communicative, and overall the perfect match for my fur baby. She sent a plethora of pictures and videos and even took leftovers out of the freezer (by request of course). I would highly recommend, and will definitely be booking again when in need.”
“Callie was fantastic. She took great care of our dogs while we were away. She was always on time and sent picture of our puppies at each visit. On the day we got home, I am positive they were waiting for her to come see them. They were sitting at the front door during a time she would have been scheduled to visit. We would contact Callie take care of our babies again. It is comforting to know they were in great hands!”
About: I absolutely love animals. I've had dogs and cats since I was 6. Since then I've help train a service dog and fostered many other dogs. I currently have three dogs: chihuahua mix, pug rat terrier mix, and a great Pyrenees. I am a bartender and have a very flexible work schedule and can work with you to accommodate your pet and their schedule and their needs. I can take the pets on daily walks, depending on their schedule and when they like to. I like to know where the food is and if they get treats for doing specific things.
“Jenna is one of the most dependable, conscientious, and caring people we've ever met. She took perfect care of our cat, provided pics/updates twice daily, and sincerely enjoyed spending time interacting with him. I don't think he even missed us! Her compassionate and caring approach has no equal. She went above and beyond by consistently cleaning the cat's eating and kitty litter box areas. We will always request her to watch our cat when we travel in the future. She is truly a gem and we are blessed to have her in our community.”
“Ashleigh is so sweet and bubbly and perfectly paired for my silly boy, Blu. She provides excellent communication and punctual. She took care of all of Blu’s needs and even brought in packages that were outside.”
About: I have watched many different breeds of dogs since I was 16. Small dogs, big dogs, puppies, seniors. I am now 19 and my love for dogs only grows more and more every time I meet a new one! I also have experience with cats, and love them just as much as dogs. :) I currently pet sit full time, so my days consist of giving my 100% to your pets. I am not currently doing Boardings until the nearer future, but I am still doing, and enjoying doing, Sittings, Drop Ins, Overnight Stays, and Walks! I treat every pet like it is my own and am open to taking care of your pet in any way that it may need. Whether that be with lots of walks, giving medicine, groomings, or baths, I want your pet to feel at home when I am with them. :)
About: I grew up with dogs, cats (now allergic to cats, but I still can pet them for a little bit), and fish. 2021 is when I first met and adopted Jack, my quiet Husky, while out in California. In 2024, I took in 2 more dogs from my girlfriend in order to help out with her inconsistent work schedules. Now she and I are married; therefore, I permanently have 3 dogs to walks daily as the temperature/ outside conditions permit. I work Monday to Friday, usually with the Marine Corps. I usually get home around 4:30 pm - 5 pm, depending on the workload. I feed all 3 of my dogs daily, treats as needed, or else they get tooooo spoiled. They get cuddle times when I am not busy with house chores or schoolwork. They get their 1-mile-ish walk in if the weather permits for all of our safety. For your pet dog: I can walk up to a mile or two based on their needs. I would not mind some extra jogging after work while taking your dogs out. Prior to meeting your dog(s), I would like to meet with you in person first and be introduced to your dog. I do not mind meeting at your house in order to reduce the stress for your dog(s) meeting someone new for the first time. Then we can go over the do/don'ts for your dog(s). I will treat all dogs with love as if they are my own, as they are all just little babies, even if they are a big-ol-dog!
“Sandy was great with our dogs!! We were here on vacation and she took them for fantastic walks on the beach. My dogs were so happy! I felt comfortable leaving them in her care. Will definitely hire her again next time we are here..”
“Sarah was amazing! I received the sweetest pictures of my cats each visit! My male cat needs twice daily insulin shots and Sarah had no trouble at all. I’ll definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have a very well happily trained service animal that helps other animals and people keeping everyone happy. My goal is to always keep the animal happy while being trained. Every walk is to bring happiness to the animal. Every drop in visit is to bring an animal a peace of mind an happiness. My hope is to always bring the owner a peace of mind along with the animal an a genuine happiness at the end of the day so that every animal and owner can feel at peace. Overnight stays I hope to just give peace at mind to Owners and animals, if there are every any concerns I will always send photos of the animals doing daily things at their usual times. I am currently in school for my bachelors and work a full time job. However, I always make time to take my pups on close to a mile walk a day. Along with 30 min of training on necessary manners and any tricks we are working on at the time. They get fed 2 times a day with appropriate vitamins and supplements for each of my animals! I always check with owners about any toys that they have along with any children toys in the home that I need to be aware of or smaller items they could choke on or get into.
About: I have always grown up with animals and my love for them led me to a job at a pet resort. I was a kennel technician for 4 years which provided me great insight to care for all types of furry friends. I just graduated college from UNC Charlotte and home in Emerald Isle for the summer. Most days I workout and hang with my family so my schedule is pretty flexible. I always try to keep each pet’s routine as close as possible to what they’re used to because I know how stressful change can feel—especially for anxious pets. I’m patient, gentle, and attentive, and I make it my priority to provide comfort, consistency, and lots of love while they’re away from their parents.
“Hannah is absolutely wonderful! She is such a kind, caring, and dependable dog sitter, and I honestly couldn’t ask for anyone better to take care of my pups. Her communication is amazing, and she always keeps me updated, which gives me so much peace of mind while I’m away. She is incredibly attentive to the dogs and really takes the time to make sure they’re comfortable, happy, and well cared for. She’s also so easy-going and flexible, which I appreciate more than I can say. Plans change, things come up, and Hannah is always so understanding and willing to adapt without ever making you feel like you’re a burden. Most importantly, I can tell that she genuinely loves animals and treats my dogs like they’re her own. I never have to worry when they’re with her, and that is priceless. I would recommend Hannah to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, responsible, and just genuinely wonderful to have taking care of their pets. ❤️”
“Robyn has been the best with our puppy! She also is very accommodating with our schedule within reason for both of us and is an OUTSTANDING communicator. 10/10 recommend her for all your pet needs”
About: Hello! My name is Ariel and I’ve owned/grew up with dogs my entire life. They hold an extremely special place in my heart. I’ve dog sat starting at the young age of 12 years old. I’ve dog sat for friends, family, and neighbors. It’s something I truly enjoy. I find it to be therapeutic as well. If anything is asked of me that enhances a dog’s spirit, mood, and health it’s pretty rare if I’ll decline a request. I start with building trust with the individual pet and their owner. I believe this is the core of the relationship. When you are on vacation, your pup is as well. Bonding with animals is special. I take this responsibility seriously as I am watching someone’s family member. I am currently a stay at home dog mom. I am available at all hours for needs relating to pet care. I am flexible with availability. I care for pets depending on their specific requirements. I believe in giving a lot of love and building trust. I don’t do anything I wouldn’t do to my own dogs. My pets are spoiled rotten, but live by a routine that benefits their individual needs and happiness. My availability is extremely open and I would plan my personal schedule around my dog sitting schedule. My pup and other 4 legged clients are my top priority. I take my dog out 3 times a day and we we go on a short walk twice a day. Your pup would receive the additional or the same care as my Yorkie Mix
About: I have taking care of my neighbors and friends animals since I was 12 or 13 . I would watch them when they go out of town.

“Melissa is great! We met her through the Pocono Pack Walk that she organizes and she is the first person we have had walk Lena ever because we are so careful since Lena is dog selective/reactive.”
About: Experienced in animal rehabilitation with a lifelong background growing up on a farm, providing compassionate, attentive care to multiple dog breeds and animals of all ages. As a young adult with no children or personal pets, I offer a calm, spacious environment with plenty of one-on-one attention—perfect for shy dogs needing comfort or outgoing pups ready for play and companionship. Since I’m in school, I’m only available Thursday–Sunday to be home and take care of them. If you’re comfortable with your pet being alone for up to 6 hours, I’d be happy to discuss scheduling. I want to make sure I’m able to provide your pups with the best care, attention, and companionship while they’re with me. When caring for pets, I pay close attention to their body language and individual needs to ensure they feel safe, comfortable, and respected. My home has a fenced backyard where they can use the restroom, play, and get exercise. Pets can stay comfortably inside the house or in the garage depending on their needs and preferences. I am happy to discuss any specific routines, requirements, or accommodations to help provide them with a safe and enjoyable stay.

Tuuli loves Ashleigh. She was happy and sassy when I got home. The house was straight and neat, the dishes were done and all instructions were followed. I'll definitely use Ashleigh again when I go out of town. It's comforting to know I'm leaving my cat with someone I trust. A+!!!

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 .

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.
