“Emily is dependable and trustworthy. We are very pleased with how she cared for our dog while we were away. She arrived on time and followed instructions we gave her, ensuring our dog getting her medicine, food and outdoor time. Our dog experienced separation anxiety that she won’t eat meals, Emily communicated honestly what is exactly happening at home, instead of just reporting good news. This allowed us to give the right kind of feedback/tip to her so that our dog started eating. Emily truly care for the wellbeing of dogs under her supervision. I would highly recommend Emily to care for your dogs.”

About: I have 13 years of experience with both cats and dogs, from overnight boarding at my home to drop-in visits in yours. I value communication and make sure you stay updated while your pets receive loving care! I’m currently working part-time, and my shifts are only 3 hours, so your dog will never go long without a potty break. I can do dog walking and drop-in care anytime after 12:30 p.m. on weekdays. We have a pet-friendly home. I have my 9-year-old daughter as well as my dog, a mini poodle. We also have a fenced in backyard. I live in a neighborhood for military housing that has plenty of space for walking and various parks.

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was in 7th grade (now a recent college graduate!!) and am looking to start searching for clients consistently again. I’ve watched over cats and dogs and also have experience with with both species that required medication. Growing up with two diabetic cats (and then some) allowed me to learn how to administer insulin by myself and how to administer pills. Being able to trust someone with your pet is hard and knowing they’re in good hands is a huge stress reliever. My goal is to not only to watch over and care for your pet(s), but to take the weight off your shoulders when you aren’t able to be home with them. I am currently looking for a full time job and being a pet sitter will allow me to earn a little extra on the side. I do not board pets as I don't have a current permanent residence of my own (living with my partner and their family), but am more than willing to stay overnight in a clients home. I ensure safety by checking in on a clients pet regularly should I not be needed 24/7 and make sure to not only watch, but care for the clients pet. My visits (when sleeping over isn’t required) typically range from 1 hour or a little over to be able to spend quality time with a clients pet(s), especially when the owner is gone for a longer period of time.

About: I’ve taken care of my rescue for 8 years now. I received him from a shelter almost an hour away. Ever since I have been delighted in making sure dogs get the best possible care and love. Seeing their eyes light up and tails wag makes it worth it! My schedule allows me to have multiple days off a week since I work as a Registered Nurse in a busy Emergency Room. On my days off, I have plenty of time to be with your pets. I have a high energy dog of my own. He gets two walks a day and play time in our fenced in yards. Plenty of belly rubs and treats. I have taught him basic commands as well, such as “paw”

About: I’ve owned pets my whole life so I understand the importance in taking care of them. My dogs are my children and I will always take the best care of them. I’ve had many cats when I was younger but I have 2 dogs here with me and 1 back home with my mom. Two of the three dogs I have are rescues, and I’ve owned dogs of all sizes. I am an Air Force veteran and I am currently a stay at home mom. I’m free any day at any time to meet all of your pets needs. I am newer to drop-in visits on this app but I’ve done it plenty of times before joining the app. I am very reliable and will always keep you updated with your pet(s).

About: I’ve cared for neighbors’ and coworkers’ dogs on and off for about 7 years. I’ve grown up around dogs and have experience caring for dogs of different ages, including seniors. I currently have a 16 year old Dachshund, so I understand the extra patience and care older dogs may need. I treat every pet like family and want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I work 7-4 at Langley Air Force base so depending on how far it is from base I could stop by during lunch but if not I can stop by during the week before 7 and after 3:30 pm. During the weekends and holidays, I should be free whenever to care for your pet! I live in a comfortable apartment with an enclosed patio where pets can get some fresh air and relax. I’m also happy to take them on regular walks and give them plenty of attention, playtime, and care throughout their stay. I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home!

About: I’ve been pet sitting since I was 14, caring for pets both in my own home and in their homes while their families are away. Over the years, I’ve gained plenty of experience making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, loved, and well cared for. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your furry family members! I work from 8:00 AM–5:30 PM on weekdays, but I have a lengthy break during the day that gives me flexibility for walks, drop-ins, potty breaks, and plenty of attention. My evenings and weekends are also more flexible, allowing me to spend extra time making sure your pet gets the care, companionship, and exercise they need! Whether I’m caring for your pet in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I have two friendly dogs of my own who are used to sharing their space and making new friends. I also have an extra set of hands with my fiancé, Tyler, who is just as much of an animal lover as I am! When caring for pets in their own home, I’m happy to follow their usual routines as closely as possible so they can stay comfortable in their familiar environment.

About: Hi, my name is Jazzmyn! I have a 5-year-old Boston Terrier and French Bulldog mix named Orie. I’ve also helped care for a few other small dogs over the years. I enjoy being around dogs and figured I’d offer dog walking to others who could use an extra hand. I’m happy to help with walks and bathroom breaks! Taking care of my own dog is already part of my daily routine, so I’m used to making time for walks, bathroom breaks, and feeding. I also have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit in dog walks throughout the week. I’m currently offering dog walking services. I make sure dogs have time to walk, use the bathroom, and get some fresh air. I follow any instructions provided by the owner and make sure their dog is safe and comfortable during our walks.

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.
