“Jen is our favorite cat sitter! We trust her to always take care of our 3 fur babies. She is so communicative and through with her care. We highly reccomended her to others! ❤️”
“Mariah was amazing and gave us updates and pictures of the dogs while we were away! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone who cares deeply about your dogs!”
“Katelyn was AMAZING looking after our 4 cats! She was a great communicator and we know the cats loved her (even though one hid because he is a scaredy cat)! I would definitely work with her again!”
About: I have been taking care of neighbors, friends, & family pets since I was in middle school. I own two very unique cats, Daemon & Love that i adore & keep me busy sometimes. I love taking dogs or cats on walks. I used to love having my dog go on a run with me, but she has long since passed away. She wasn't the best at some dog commands from training, but she did enjoy getting a treat when she did listen. My work schedule is flexible during the week due to my level. I typically can come anytime in the early morning to about 10am & then evenings after 6pm. If someone is very close by, I can stop over during a lunch break as well around 2pm. I live in a two story condo, so my cats typically have run of my house. I adapt to anyone's preferences & home environment to care for their family fur baby to make sure they are comfortable while someone ia away.
“Disha was a loving and caring sitter, our little furball was very nice and comfortable with her, she finished all of our requests perfectly, and would recommend her to anyone in need of a wonderful sitter!”
“Rylee did a great job with Dobby during her drop-in visit! He was happy, well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates. Would definitely have her watch him again!”
“Wonderful communication! We felt completely comfortable leaving our fur baby for the first time. Thank you so much for keeping her safe and happy! We will definitely be reaching out again”
“I'm very grateful to Dana for her kindness and patience with my two cats. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my home is in good condition, as well as taking great care of Fabio and Windi. My finicky cats highly recommend Dana!”
“Caitlyn was amazing! She cared for my two cats like they were her own! Her check ins were thorough and consistent, and she even went above and beyond by cleaning up a hair ball one of them left. I highly recommend Caitlyn and will be using her again next time I go out of town!”
“Great care for my sick kitty cat! MK make a point to come over before I left so we could connect and she could meet Mari. MK made sure Mari took her medicine, which was very much appreciated.”
“Tiffany was wonderful with my dog. She was reliable, communicative, and kept me updated throughout the booking, which gave me great peace of mind. My pup was happy and well cared for, and I would gladly hire Tiffany again. Highly recommend!”
About: I have exposer to multiple types of pets. Dogs large and small I have been relied on to take care of family and friends fur babies since I was 13 I currently work a 4x10 shift so I have flexible Sundays, Mondays, and Tuesdays. I also do not start until 9 so I can always do a little before work and after 7 pm I will treat your dog as my own when under my care. Whatever needs you have for your pets as you are away I can take care of!
About: I’ve been working with a variety of dogs of all different breeds for roughly 6 years via dog walking, dog sitting, etc! I love dogs of all kinds! I’m a doctoral student of occupational therapy, so most of my time is spent working via fieldwork and doing homework. I am free on Tuesdays & Thursdays for drop ins/walks, and on weekends for housesitting. I’m happy to help with any household needs specified during housesitting! Please leave me comprehensive instructions for caring for your pet(s), including meal details/times, walking schedule, etc.
“Christy has been great. My dog has had stomach issues this week so I did not want to leave him alone the whole time I had work. She has done a great job dropping in with him. He is a very shy boy and he warmed up to her by the end of the 30 minutes :)”
About: I've had cats for over 20 years, all of my adult life. I'm an expert at giving medications. I've also owned small and medium sized dogs. I subscribe to positive reinforcement training. I am independently bonded and insured. Please request more info if needed. I live in the heart of Dormont. Have experience with cats and small/medium dogs. I drive so no issues with transportation. My availability is open! I prefer to watch your pet(s) in your home. If you leave me a schedule, including food, treats, play, and walk times, I will stick to that precisely. I feel that pets not only need a routine, but they do much better in their own environment. If there's an emergency, I will be able to bring them to my home. Obviously communication will be key, and this is only for extenuating circumstances (if I feel they are unsafe due to unforeseen situations). My goal is to continue their established routine, so when you come home, there will be a smooth transition.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thornburg
Krista has helped out with our Mr. Man quite a few times now. Mr. Man just loves Krista and he always receives the best of care from her! We can leave home for a little while and feel assured that our beloved "kitten" is in good hands while we are away. A million thanks to Krista for all of her help!!!
Mariah is amazing! She helps care for my new puppy while I’m at work during the day, and I couldn’t be happier with her. She’s incredibly responsive, flexible, and reliable. I always feel confident knowing my puppy is in such good and safe hands. Highly recommend her!
Caralyn is an amazing petsitter!! She is super kind and caring. She goes above and beyond to make sure that my cats are happy while I’m gone, taking lots of time to play with them and give them treats. It’s a huge relief knowing that my kitties are in good hands while I’m away!!
Lauren is wonderful and was so good taking care of my mom’s cats. We had to rehome them as my mom can no longer care for them due to illness. While she was recovering she stayed with me and we were both so comforted knowing Louie and Leo were being taken care of. Lauren was a life saver and I would highly recommend her!
Hannah was friendly and awesome! She had no problems getting to know our doggos at her first visit. She wrote detailed notes about her visits and always provided cute photos of our dogs. She kept us updated about how things were going while we were away from home. Highest recommendation for Hannah! Thank you!
We had such a great experience with Destiny watching our cats! She was incredibly communicative, reliable, and sent us regular updates while we were away, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear that she genuinely cared about our cats and made sure they were well taken care of. We came home to happy, well-loved kitties! We would absolutely recommend Destiny and will definitely use her again in the future! ❤️
We were very happy having Mamie (Mary) care for our two cats! She is a great communicator, particularly when it comes to letting you know how it's going with your pets. We have a cat who is recovering from an injury and we could tell from meeting Mamie - and later from her updates - that he was in good, attentive hands! She also had to play hide-and-seek a bit to keep up with our more timid cat, but she caught onto his patterns. We're glad we were able to book her and would highly recommend!

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.
