“I just returned home and it usually takes Lola some time to warm up to me, she came right out and has been calm. I loved how Felisha contacted me and even took photos of Lola. Thank you so much, Felisha!”
“Alicia was extremely helpful and my cat - who can be a bit distant at times - warmed up to them very quickly. I highly recommend them for anyone looking for a sitter.”
“Kelsey was wonderful with my cat, Luna! I left for 6 days and Kelsey was great about coming around the same time, spending quality time with Luna during her visit and even went above and beyond by bringing in my trash can and stopping a beeping fire alarm! I would definitely book with Kelsey again. She sent lots of photos and gave me updates each day!”

“Samantha has been doing drop ins with my dog for a couple of weeks now. She's been great, my dog loves her and is so comfortable with her, which is a relief as a mum of an anxious dog. She followed all my instructions and requests to the T, and has been flexible and accommodating to my changing schedule which is a great plus.”
“Megan was absolutely amazing with Axle. She spent time walking him around and playing with him in the yard. Axle looked so happy in the photos she sent of him playing. We are definitely booking her again!”
“Stevie was absolutely amazing with Pierre! She dropped in to check on him for two days, several times a day, and he just loved her. She came over a day before to meet us and him, and it was a pleasant experience — we all felt comfortable with her. I will definitely hire her again and highly recommend her services. Thank you again, Stevie!”

“Ashley has done drop in visits for me and Heidi a few times now. She was gracious enough to come over for an initial meet and greet. Since then she’s been very responsive and flexible with my irregular schedule. Would recommend!”
“We had the absolute pleasure of working with Arielle as our cat sitter, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the experience. From start to finish, Arielle was not only professional but incredibly attentive and thoughtful. Her communication was stellar—each update felt like a warm check-in from a friend, complete with sweet photos and details that showed how well she got to know our cat’s personality. It’s clear Arielle treats her role with genuine care and heart. She took the time to understand our cat’s routines, quirks, and favorite toys, and her attention to those details made all the difference. When we came home, everything was spotless and our cats were calm, content, and clearly loved. That kind of peace of mind is priceless. If you’re looking for someone who brings both skill and kindness to the table, Arielle is a rare find. She didn’t just watch our cats—she cared. And that care showed in every thoughtful gesture.”

Mackenzie went above and beyond what was expected of her. She also did a great job administering one of our cats medication, which came up last minute. We greatly appreciate everything she did for our cats while we were away and we would definitely recommend her, as well as hire her again. Thanks so much Mackenzie!
Mandy was excellent with our senior, blind dog. She sent pictures, and she cuddled and pet our little baby. Our dog lost his mom suddenly (my mother in law). We needed the sitter for her celebration of life. He has been sad and trying to adjust to my home and routines. Mandy made him feel loved and we also appreciated that. ❤️

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Sylvan Lake 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.

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.
