“Cristina was awesome and I can't say enough good things about her. She went above and beyond to care for our two goldendoodle pups. She followed instructions and gave feedback with each visit. She was attentive to the dogs needs and quickly shared when she thought their might be an issue. We will definitely be using her again.”
“I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️”
About: I’ve been around dogs and cats all my life. I’ve had the opportunity to raise multiple dog and cat litters ranging from days to weeks old. I’ve been dog sitting for close friends and family for the past five years and have learned to work with shy, older and more energetic dogs. I’m currently available in the evenings from Monday - Thursday starting at 6:00pm. I’m free to sit and dog walk those days and from Friday-Sunday I have more flexibility for potty breaks, walking and stay in home. In my clients home I always pay attention to possible hazards. I keep all doors shut at all times and make sure to provide a clean space for pets at all times. I’m able to set up play pens and dog proof homes.
About: I am now a pet groomer. In my daily work, I can come into contact with various dogs. I know their personality traits and things to pay attention to. Every dog is unique. We must understand and love him. Master basic dog training techniques. The safety of your dog comes first at all times I work as a groomer three to four days a week and am available to take care of dogs in my free time, especially on weekends and evenings. I can spend time with your dog and offer grooming and care advice. Safety and compassion are my top priorities. Please rest assured that leaving your dog with me will keep her active and happy. When we visit dogs at home, we will communicate with the dog owners in advance, play with the dog in a designated area, and play games with the dog according to its preferences to keep the dog active and healthy.
About: I have always had multiple cats since I was 10 years old and have 8 years of experience volunteering for cat and dog rescues! I currently have 6 cats and a husky/malamute mix, all rescues. Most recently, I fostered 2 husky/shepherd puppies and even puppy-proofed my yard for them to have more space to run around and play. In previous years, I have had a negative experience with having friends watch my pets, so I understand how important it is to find the right pet sitter. Pets are our children and should be treated as such. I would be honored to give your baby the best possible care and lots of love and attention! I am a full time dog and cat mom that works seasonally in entertainment, so my schedule is completely open for whatever you need! My dog gets 2 walks a day with potty breaks every 4 hours, even in the middle of the night. My cats receive a mix of dry and wet food twice a day with their water changed and litter scooped daily and plenty of cuddle time. I have a large fenced yard in a safe, suburban neighborhood for your dogs to play in. My home has multiple large rooms with cat trees and cat shelves that can be kept as a private oasis for your cat or cats if they are to stay with me.
About: I’ve loved dogs since forever. Since moving out of my family home, I’ve felt an emptiness until adopting my own dog, Nemo! I’ve cared for and trained multiple family dogs, along with my own dog. Im always looking for photo ops for pups I’m with too. I’m confident I’m able to assist your short term pet care needs! I’m currently in between work so my schedule is flexible. My dog has daily walks at 8am and 6pm when the sun isn’t too hot, and we’d love to have your dog join us! I have a backyard for the dogs to play during the day and designated walk times (8am and 6pm). I’m open to what your pet needs from me! I enjoy taking my dog out to explore new parks and would love to have your pup join us!
“Grace is such a sweet and amazing sitter! She has communicated with me so kindly throughout the entire stay, sends regular photo updates, and follows instructions to a T—and I gave her a lot of instructions! Gemma can be very shy and takes time to warm up to new people, but Grace has been incredibly patient and has worked completely at her pace to make sure she feels safe and comfortable. I can see how much effort Grace is putting into earning her trust, and it’s been so sweet to see Gemma start to open up to her. She’s even managed to put a smile on my shy girl’s face by entertaining her with toys! 🥹❤️ I’m so grateful for Grace and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, patient, and trustworthy sitter.”
About: No special skills here. Just a former dog owner/lover whose dog passed away several years ago. I don't currently have pets. I work from home primarily and see this as a win win for me and owners who need a walk or sitter. Married. Late 30s. Former Law Enforcement. Ask me anything you have concerns with. Working from home most of the time with some field appointments. I am generally available during the week as long as I have advanced notice to plan for my work. Just me and my wife in our apartment. No pets on our end to worry about. Could follow any rules in your home if applicable.
“Felicia did a fabulous job helping our two shy kitties come out of their shell and make friends with a new person. She’s the only person who has been able to pet and play with them outside of our immediate household. I feel so much better about leaving them knowing that Felicia will be able to pick up on any changes in their behavior if they aren’t feeling well.”
“Very pleased to have found Cathy and Andres on Rover! You can feel the genuine love they have for their four-legged charges. I felt safe and our pup got taken care of...perfect!”
“My dogs (two 5-year old German shepherds) love Loretta and I have utilized her services several times and she takes great care of my fur babies anytime I’m gone. I appreciate her very much! I highly recommend her.”
“Anny was very respectful, responsable, and reliable for each of my cats visits. She came to my house for free the first time so I can show her around and what to do. Always on time. She gave me a super detailed report, with pictures each time she came to my house. I was a little nervous with having a stranger come to my house, but by the end of her visits she befriended my most shy, timid cat. I consider her one of the family now and would definitely ask her to come again to care for my babies. Also! She swept my living room of all the litter.”
About: I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss I am working part time, which leaves me very flexible to care for your pets on your schedule as needed for drop in care or longer stays with your pet in their own home including nights, weekends, and overnights. I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.
“Annabelle was wonderful as always! She is so communicative, and follows instructions to a T! My pup adores her and I couldn’t ask for anything more. I would highly recommend her to anyone for pet sitting!”
About: Working as a teacher and pet sitter have taught me many of the same skills: patience, communication, responsibility, and genuine care. I’ve traveled across the U.S. to pet sit for both cats and dogs, and I enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine. I’m attentive to owners’ instructions and take their trust seriously. Whether it’s keeping up with a feeding schedule, making sure a dog gets plenty of exercise, or giving a shy cat some extra space and patience, I do my best to make pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’m also respectful of your home and always aim to leave a place as clean—or cleaner—than I found it. Most importantly, I treat every pet as an individual and want both you and your pet to feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I currently work as a substitute teacher, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I have plenty of time before and after work to provide attentive care, and I’m generally able to adjust my schedule around a pet’s needs. I live a calm lifestyle and enjoy spending time at home, so pets get plenty of attention, companionship, and care throughout the day. I have a safe, comfortable home with a backyard where pets can get some fresh air and space to explore. I also live right next to a park with a designated pet area and plenty of greenery, which makes it easy to provide regular walks and outdoor time. I want pets in my care to feel comfortable and at home, while also following their owner’s routines, instructions, and preferences.
About: I’m 23 years old, playing and taking care of animals is something I love doing and have a passion for, please let me know 4 or 5 days in advance for a service you want so I can see if I have time on my schedule I’m usually home most of the time so I can provide a service at my house or at yours just let me know a couple days in advance I did move into an apartment but it’s a safe environment especially if the services are done in my house or even for walks around my neighborhood or yours as well

Grace is super sweet, I needed her to help drop-in twice a week while I was out of town. She made sure to keep me updated with pictures of my pup. I received a text whenever she'd arrive, and when she was done. The pup reports reassures me that someone is making sure my pup is doing okay. I would highly recommend Grace
Jacqueline was a pleasure to have take care of our fur babies. We appreciate her communication with us and all the pictures she sent. Not one day did we have to worry if our babies were ok. Maybe just the first day because we didn’t know what to expect. We have one really shy cat and we were worried she wouldn’t eat or come out of hiding but she did really great with her. She even played with them. We will definitely be booking her again. Thank you.
Neko took care of Elizabeth in such a considerate manner. She constantly sent me updates with pictures and notes about her appetite. She also tried to play with Elizabeth to get her attention after feeding her. I highly recommend Neko as she is very thoughtful and truly caring for my cat!
Alyssa has been taking care of our two dogs. One of them needs special care such as insulin administration 2x/day and some pills. She is easy to communicate with and sent us regular updates. We were comfortable leaving our fur babies while we went on vacation. We highly recommend Alyssa! :)
She took such great care of my cat! She was attentive, caring, and always communicated promptly. She was also flexible and adjusted her approach and communication based on the situation. I felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in such good hands. Highly recommend her!
I feel so lucky to have found her! She is incredibly caring and thoughtful, always follows the house rules and instructions, and even stays a little longer to make sure Rudy is taken care of. I really appreciate how much love and attention she gives him. I’ll definitely book with her again! Highly recommend! ❤️

- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;

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 .

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 .
