“Nana and Scott have been so amazing to work with! They taught my boy how to spin which I couldn’t even do. They great at sending photos, videos and I could tell Ozzy has loved spending time with them. Will be using them from here on out forever! 😊”
“I was staying in an Abnb so my dog was highly anxious being in a new place. Aivy was wonderful dropping in on him for a few visits over a long weekend. Photos and updates for every visit was great! Won’t hesitate to have Aivy again the next time we visit!”
“If God works through people, He *radiates* through Laurinda☀️ She was very communicative and took the best care of our girls while we were away and they looked so happy! You could tell they LOVED her presence.🩷 We will certainly be repeat clients”
“Kelli is amazing!! Her updates are great and have so many pictures! I could not have asked for someone better to look after our babies while we were out of town.”
“Leonard was great! Kept my 3 cats alive and well! Gave me great peace of mind knowing they were well cared for when I went back to the mainland to deal with my mom's care.”
“Daniela is an amazing sitter. She provided lots of photos and videos during her visits and gave her the love and attention she deserved during her stay. You won't regret booking her!”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of my two cats. It was comforting to know they were in great hands while I was out of town. She provided updates and pictures and was overall great at communicating which kept me from any worry! I will definitely book Olivia again in the future. Highly recommend!”
“Sarah is wonderful. She arrived promptly and followed directions perfectly. I have a very persnickety senior cat who needs a lot of coaxing and encouragement to eat his food and she handled it like a pro. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I will definitely trust Sarah to take care of my prized possession again! Thank you Sarah!❤️”
“Kevin was amazing with Luna, she took to him very quickly! Kevin was great about communicating and sending pics during his time with Luna, would definitely recommend to others and will definitely reach out to Kevin again for the future!”
“Jaimee did a fantastic job taking care of our cat! He seemed to be very happy and comfortable in her care. She followed all of our instructions well, provided us with plenty of information and photos, and made sure he got all of the love and attention needed. This was all during a bad period of storms and flooding, and she still made the trip over to make sure out pet was taken care of. She even went above and beyond to bring in packages and help with some issues with our house that were caused by the storms and power outages. Would definitely recommend Jaimee!”
“Dubelsa is awesome! She helped to take care of my bunnies while I was away. My bunnies are not the easiest to take care of since they are very easily scared. Dubelsa was very patient and texted me with their conditions and pictures during the drop in visits. I'm very satisfied with this experience and I'll definitely book again with Dubelsa ??”
“Very easy to work with and made sure my cat was good on my 2 week trip, kept his litter clean and food/water full. He is a very playful cat so she made sure to take him outside and play with him a lot which really is great for him. Would highly recommend”
About: I have had dogs nearly my entire life. And a variety of other pets sporadically, like fish, hamsters guinnea pigs and others. I have also been blessed to have been a rescue foster and the reward of helping heal thier emotional and physical health and finding their Furever homes. I understand pets are family. I work a hybrid schedule so most availability is evenings and weekends. If you are super close by, I may be able to dropins during the week days. I am comfortable with all sizes ( we have 3 dogs 50-120 lbs) and do respect your training protocols. I always check the fences and gates before letting them out in the yard.
“Samantha and Sydney did an AMAZING job taking care of our two cats! This was our first time to use someone in a new home, so we were a bit anxious about how it would go. We could not have asked for better people to care for our cats! We got tons of pictures and an extensive write up every day of our trip, putting us at ease that they were in good hands. Not only did they do the basics, but we really got the feeling that they care about our pets and looked forward to seeing them everyday. 10 stars!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - The Colony
Morgan was wonderful with our English Golden Moose. He needs a little extra care because he’s on medication. She gave hime his meds, took him on walks and even brushed his teeth. Appreciate her care for our sweet boy and already have her booked for future dates.
I will always recommend Sydney. This was my second time booking her to watch my baby. Sydney is always communicative and patient. Even when Elaina (my cat) was being particular this trip (mad at me for leaving again), she still came out of her safe space. That speaks volumes on the kind of person Sydney is.
Laurinda was amazing! This was a bit of a last minute decision and she was super easy to communicate with and very familiar with the fickle ways of cats. I felt very at ease with my little ones in her care. Her updates were wonderful and made me smile with the notes about each of them and the photos. I will absolutely reach back out next time we need someone to check in our cats.
We had a wonderful experience with Lana during a drop in visit with our dog, Finn. She was extremely communicative, sent plenty of pictures, and kept us updated the whole time. Since we were from out of town, she even shared great local recommendations for places to eat and things to do nearby. Her thoughtfulness made everything so much easier, and we’d happily recommend her to anyone looking for dependable, kind pet care.
I booked Ember after having to take a last minute trip for work. She agreed to a meet and greet on such short notice, was punctual during her check ins, and remained incredibly calm and professional when I accidentally came home a day early and totally forgot to met her know 💀. I would trust her with Riley again and would recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter!
Maria went above and beyond when taking care of my cats! She followed all my feeding and litter box instructions to the letter, and gave extra special care and love to my kitties. I can't recommend Maria enough. She's reliable, communicative, genuinely caring, and treats your pets like her own. Booking her again for every future trip!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page .
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 Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

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 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 Meet & Greet .
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , 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.
