“Jeannette’s first time sitting for Tuck. She scheduled a meet and greet to go over all the little things that makes Tuck a special cat. During each visit she provided a complete update. She even tried taking Tuck on his walk, which I really appreciate. Jeannette did a great job with Tuck. I would definitely rebook with her again.”
“Cara is the best! She takes care of Gambit as if he is her own dog. He looks forward to seeing her, going on walks and playing. I don’t think I’d ever find anyone as great as Cara! I consider her part of the Gambit family”

I am a trustworthy and respectful guest when I come to your home to look after your pets. Your safety and your pets safety are paramount.
“Linda is amazing beyond words! We feel very blessed to have found such a reliable and understanding sitter. Our cat is a Bengal, full of energy, and needs his playtime. Linda has done such a wonderful job playing and interacting with him during her visits, my cat really enjoys her company (and he’s not easy to impress!). Believe me, you won’t be disappointed if you hire her!”
“Marissa is exceptional she took our 7 day appointment last minute and was very understanding and communicative. We were very skeptical at first using a service one to watch our puppy and two having someone coming in our home while we weren’t there. Marissa communicated every day as well as sent pictures. She definitely went over and beyond with our puppy “Buddy”, She bathed him, took care of his play pen area as we would. Im very thankful for Marissa and clearly Buddy enjoyed her as well.”
“Megan was wonderful! She gave my super senior boy extra attention and helped him deal with his first alone time since losing his companion of 16 years. Will definitely be rebooking with her!”
About: I'm a lifelong animal lover from Wilmington, Delaware, and after retiring from 34 years in education, I decided to follow my heart and spend more time with animals. I've had all kinds of pets over the years—dogs, cats, even horses—so I know just how much they mean to us. As a pet owner myself, I understand how important it is to have someone reliable, kind, and caring looking after your pets (and your home) when you can’t be there. Whether it's a walk around the block, playtime in the yard, or just some company while you're away, I'm here to make sure your furry family members feel safe, happy, and loved. I am retired after 34 years in education and have a flexible schedule that can meet your pets daily needs- morning, noon or night. Additionally, I have lived in the area my entire life so I am very familiar with the neighborhoods. I will visit your pets as requested. They will be walked responsibly and I will ensure they have fresh water and treats if allowed. If requested I will bring in the mail and any delivered packages.
“Klyde and Kimber loved having Justice visit them. Klyde looks so happy in the pictures. Wasn’t sure how he’d be but he warmed up fast! Loved the pictures and the description of how she spent the time. Looking to lots more visits.”
About: Been doing this since I was 18! Giving genuine care and attention to your fur babies isn’t taken lightly when I am trusted with them! I work part time right now and have a very flexible schedule! Willing to work out a schedule with you as well! Here to help you and your pets needs 😊 I provide in-home pet sitting at your home, so your pets can stay comfortable in their own familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. I’m respectful of your home, follow your instructions carefully, and will keep you updated while you’re away with messages and photos!
About: I have several years of experience working in an animal hospital as a veterinary technician, where I cared for pets with a variety of needs and learned how to recognize changes in behavior, health, and comfort levels. My veterinary background has given me the skills and confidence to provide safe, attentive care, including administering medications and noticing when a pet may not be feeling their best. Outside of work, I’m a proud pet parent to two doggies and two wonderful cats, so I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. I treat every animal like they are my own—with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. Whether your pet needs a walk, a drop-in visit, playtime, medication support, or simply a caring companion while you’re away, I’m committed to providing dependable and personalized care.🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work remotely full-time from 1:30 PM–10:00 PM, which gives me plenty of availability in the mornings and early afternoons to dedicate time to animals. I would love to use that time for walks, drop-ins, playtime, feeding, and giving pets the attention and care they deserve. I’m a responsible and caring pet owner myself, and I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy looking after your pets. I enjoy creating a calm, comfortable environment and making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and cared for while their owners are away. When caring for pets, my top priorities are safety, trust, and creating a comfortable environment where they feel secure. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely to maintain their pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and any special preferences they have. I treat every home and pet with respect, taking the time to build trust and make sure each animal feels comfortable in my care. I pay close attention to their behavior, surroundings, and needs to help prevent any safety concerns.
“Thankful for Roberta’s visit! She provided a great summary of her visit and good pics! She was flexible and willing to help us out despite a last minute request. Will definitely hire her again!”
“Christa was a life saver. I can never fully enjoy my vacations because I think about my little guys alone in a boarding facility. I have a special needs dachshund named Maui. She's paralyzed in her back end and needs her bladder manually expressed. Very few boarding facilities will accept her. Christa came to our home three times per day, loved on, played with and cared for our three dogs and our parrot. I've never come home from a trip and found my dogs so happy and relaxed and clean. Christa went above and beyond.”
“Cal and Kris were great and went above and beyond! Dozer seemed so happy to spend time with them, they rolled with the punches (regarding some schedule changes), were very responsive and overall so kind!! Cannot recommend enough!”
“Sarah is a natural with dogs! Our dog is 6 and this is the first time we have ever left her with a sitter since she can be anxious at times! Sarah set us all at ease. She was awesome!”
“Olivia is the best! My bully girl really loves her bc she's so gentle and friendly. Its obvious how much attention she give her while she's in my home and I feel perfectly comfortable with her. She always has very detailed reports of her visits and I look forward to all the pictures she takes during them as well:)”
About: I’ve taken care of animals ever since I was a little girl. My family has fostered animals growing up, showing me the true meaning of giving someone love even if it’s just temporarily. Being your pets home away from home is important to me and guaranteed! I am available when ever needed my schedule is completely freed up! Let me know what days you need and I will get right back to you! The pets I babysit for are my first priority. Every single one of their needs will always be met and is the most important part of my day.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Talleys Corner
Jeannette is the best. Her communication leading up to and while she is watching your pet is stellar. She takes the time to write really comprehensive report cards which is very much appreciated. Leaves no questions about how your pet is doing and what they got up to while you were away. Really enjoyed working with her!
Cassandra has watched our kitty on several occasions at this point and is my most trusted sitter! She's very communicative, sends pictures every day, and seems to love what she does. She's flexible, dependable, and follows instructions very well! Would recommend her to anyone for pet care. Our fur baby is in great hands with her.
Alana was such a delight. My cat immediately came up to her on the day we met and allowed Alana to pet her. Alana did a wonderful job with my cat. She was on schedule every day. She took lots of pics each visit. If you’re looking for a wonderful, sweet caring person, Alana is the one. Pic her 1st and you won’t be disappointed.
Yasmine took great care of my cats while I was away for an extended trip. I needed a last-minute cat sitter, and she was incredibly reliable and easy to work with. She was very responsive/communicative, followed all of my instructions carefully, and always kept me informed of any observations or issues. It gave me peace of mind knowing my cats were in such good hands. I highly recommend Yasmine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and attentive cat sitter!
Heather is amazing! She is so caring and just loves our 4 legged kiddos. We also have a parrot who gets lots of love and attention as well. I love that my husband and I can vacation knowing our home and pets are being well taken care of. Love the pictures she sends as well. ❤️
Great experience. I have two dogs that cannot get along and are isolated from one another. Don’t hate me but they are rescues. Z managed to feed them let them out with no incidence. Z was respectful of my home and I never let a person here without me. Z took care of my babies like Z’s own. Highly recommend.
Catherine was incredible with my cats! She was prompt and thorough with our drop in visits. My two cats were well taken care of, oral medication were administered on time, and most importantly she was great at reading their body language and giving them exactly the attention they needed! I definitely recommend Catherine!

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.
