“Toryn and Ivy are amazing sitters. They looked after my two kitties for 10 days and gave them so much love and attention. They knew I was anxious about leaving the cats for this long and gave me reassuring updates every day. This is my second time booking with them and I will definitely book again in the future.”
“Maureen did a great job of watching my little ladies. She was responsive to my messages, went above and beyond with their care, and Azula absolutely loved her (Mitski was happy to be fed, but she hates everyone/everything that isn’t me). :)”
“Penny was fantastic doing drop in visits and walks for my two dogs! They are a rambunctious pair and she seemed to handle it all with ease. Plan to utilize her services again in the future if she's game!”
“Lisa was outstanding with our dogs. All three of them loved her right away. We’ve never left them with anyone before and upon meeting Lisa, we knew she was perfect for them. ❤️🐾❤️ She sent us photos and updates on how each one was doing. They were well cared for and received love and attention. When we got back, all the dogs were very content. We highly recommend Lisa for pet sitting.”
“Jordan was amazing with Charlie, Simba, and Pumbaa! 🐾❤️ She took such great care of my boys and made me feel completely at ease knowing they were happy and well cared for while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Jordan and will definitely be booking with her again! 🐈⬛ 🐈 🐈”
“We were traveling to Mason in our motor home for the tennis open. We fiund Melissa on the Rover app and after a couple of text messages we set a time to meet and greet. Melissa was on time and one of the most personable sitters we have ever used. Our girl Sambuca was happy and took a liking to Melissa from the start. We felt very comfortable giving her access to our motor home and she was a God send for us knowing that Sambuca was well cared for. Melissa would walk her for a hour and make sure she had plenty of water. We cannot thank her enough. I would highly recommend Melissa to anyone in the Mason, OH area. Thank you again, the Kings”
“Kind to all my “kids” who were happy and content when I got home. This drop in is a bit extra with our special needs pup. Jen managed her needs beautifully. Thank you for the care and peace of mind.”
“Mary is great — totally confident having her drop in and care so well for our 2 dogs while we were gone for a week. They were well cared for and she was great with communicating updates! Will definitely have her help us again!”
About: I have had pets my entire life. I grew up with a dog and got my first cat when I was 7. Since then, I have had many wonderful pets who have greatly enhanced my life. My cat Vinnie was diabetic, so I have experience giving injections. I can also administer oral medication. I have been pet sitting for clients in the West Chester area for years and am happy to provide references. I absolutely love animals, and I will treat your pets as I do my own. I know how hard it is to leave them, and I will provide regular updates so that you have peace of mind. I tutor remotely and can make my own schedule, so I have lots of availability for your pets. I can do overnight stays when needed. I will keep your pets' schedules and routines. We will have plenty of play time and snuggles. I will brush them (if they like that.)
“Rayme was amazing! We needed someone short notice, and even with that, her communication was great, and she made sure to spend time and give some love to all three of our fur babies. We're booking with her for a longer trip and definitely feel great about leaving our babies in her care!”
“Was responsible. Had some personal issues twice and couldn’t come. But made me aware of that. And I was fine since my cats can be unattended for a day or two. But she sent me videos and pictures. Cleaned up any cat mess. Kept everything neat and clean.”
“Max checked on Jake for us on Christmas Day while we were gone for the day and again later in the week when we went out of town. Jake did great with him! Max was prompt and communicated often with us. He posted several pics of Jake playing in the yard and enjoying himself. I highly recommend Max! We’ll definitely use him again.”

About: As a lifelong pet enthusiast, I've been caring for cats and dogs since childhood. I have 4 of my own furry friends now (3 cats and a dog), one of which is chronically ill so I have experience with sick pets. I also have valuable experience watching over friends' beloved pets for extended periods at a time. I am currently working part-time and create my own schedule so I have a lot of availability both during the week and on the weekends My dog is 75 pounds so I have experience handling large dogs (such as walking or can crate your dog if needed). With having my own pets, I know what is and is not safe for pets to get into. I am also comfortable giving special diets to pets (as one of my cats is chronically ill) in addition to various medication if needed.

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 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.
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 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.
