“Danielle did a great job! She sent photos at every visit and kept me informed on what was going on every drop in. I would definitely recommend her if you needed someone to watch your pups. We definitely will be using her again .”
“Kelly was wonderful with my puppy! She was very caring, attentive and communicated the whole time. She went above and beyond and made sure she was safe and comfortable! Highly recommend!!”
About: I’m a calm, gentle caregiver who specializes in small dogs and understands how much comfort they find in familiar routines. As a dog mom myself, I know how important it is to have someone warm, patient, and trustworthy looking after your pup. I offer drop-ins and short walks that keep your dog’s day running smoothly-whether they need a potty break, a little company, or a quiet walk with a steady, reassuring presence. I also offer dog boarding in my home. I’m detail-oriented, safety-focused, and always communicate clearly so you know exactly how your dog is doing. Your puppy will be cared for with kindness, consistency, and lots of love. My daily routine is built around caring for my own small dog, so adding care for other small dogs fits in smoothly and naturally. I have a flexible schedule for my bookkeeping business as well. I will follow any instructions you provide me and will make sure your dogs are safe and cared for with lots of love and attention.
“Took care of my kitty like her own. Even brought her a scratching pad. The pictures that were taken were beautiful and made me feel good while on vacation knowing my kitty was in good hands. A++”
“Kacy was the best & well worth the $100 tip! She provided last minute services to pick up my Remi (whom she had never met) from the vet and followed detail instructions to take her to the suites. This was a very challenging decision as I am not from or live in NJ and didnt know anyone. This dog lover is the best! I will use her services again hands down! Me & Remi thank you so much Kacy!”
“Ginny was very reliable and sweet. She was able to make my extra shy cat comfortable with her and spent time making him feel safe. She sent lots of pictures, too! Highly recommend!!! I felt at ease with her taking care of my cat while away.”

“Dana took exceptional care of my pets while we were away. She watched two dogs, two cats and a bearded dragon. She sent wonderful, detailed reports with pictures at each visit. When one of my cats was hiding and not eating, she went above and beyond to make sure Rose was found and taken care of. I was nervous to go away, but I felt safe and secure with Dana watching over them.”

About: As a dog owner myself, I treat every dog like they’re my own. My goal isn’t just to walk your pup—it’s to make sure they come home happy, safe, and mentally fulfilled As a dog owner myself, caring for animals has become a natural part of my daily routine. I love staying active, spending time outdoors, and making sure every dog gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve while their owners have peace of mind. I know how important it is to run on a strict schedule. As I own a dog myself, she too is provided with strict feeding and walking times that fit our schedule. I will do everything I can to make sure your pet is treated with the same care and respect!

“Lisa Marie was excellent with our two high-energy dogs! She was prompt and a great communicator. She sent lots of pictures of our pups so we could see they were having a great time and gave thorough reports on how the drop-in visits went. Some of the pics she sent were actually frame-worthy!! Thank you for taking such great care of Linkin and Hudson!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life, including my 10-year-old Black Lab and my American Pit Bull. I’ve helped train both dogs, understand different personalities and energy levels, and am comfortable handling daily walks, feeding, playtime, and basic training. I’m available most weekdays and weekends throughout the summer after June 25th. While working 2-3 days per week, I maintain a flexible schedule for walks and drop-in visits. Beginning September 1st, I’ll be commuting to college classes 3–4 days per week, but I’ll continue offering pet care services with availability before and after classes, as well as on weekends.

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 .
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 , 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 .
sitters on Rover set their own , 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.
