“Aliyah has a very gentle Spirit, very polite, and appreciative. We enjoyed having her and trusting her in our home with our puppy daughter. She followed instructions very well and always called before coming to the home, which allowed us to properly arm and disarm my home she took pictures before she left each day and texted us when she needed to give us small updates, which was barely none, but it was a courtesy. I would definitely rehire her, and my husband was very pleased as well so I would definitely utilize her if you’re looking for a positive, trustworthy, puppy lover, that would take care of your home and ease your mind while you are away. She’s definitely someone we WILL use again when the need arises. She’s a college student and we are flexible with her visits that were 3x per day.”
“She was great, friendly, responsive, and made sure my cats were stress free and loved while I was gone. Even though I cut my trip short, I would book with her again.”
“Kristal was great with my two kitties. She did drop in visits while I was on a multi-day vacation. I got updates and pictures everyday and she even cleaned up kitty cat puke (from one of my babies who has a sensitive tummy). Would absolutely book again!”

“We recently hired Aleyah to take care of our dog, Skye, while we were out of town. Aleyah did a fantastic job! She was reliable in feeding Skye and also gave her love and attention. Her daily visits provided us immense peace of mind. We highly recommend Aleyah to any pet owner in need of a caring and dependable caretaker. Her commitment to Skye's well-being was truly appreciated, and we would definitely seek her services again in the future.”
About: About Me / Pet Care Experience I’m a dependable and caring pet sitter who treats every pet with the same patience, attention, and love I would want for my own. I understand that every animal has their own personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their family is away. I’m comfortable providing walks, feeding, playtime, companionship, litter box care, basic medication administration, and maintaining a pet’s normal routine. I’m also happy to provide regular photo and message updates so you can feel confident knowing your pet is doing well. I have experience caring for pets and understand how important consistency, patience, and following an owner's instructions are. I take pet care seriously and always make their safety and well-being my priority. I currently have a flexible schedule and am able to dedicate plenty of time and attention to the pets in my care. I’m especially happy to discuss each pet’s individual routine, including how much exercise, playtime, companionship, or quiet time they need. My goal is simple: for your pet to feel safe, loved, and comfortable—and for you to have peace of mind while you’re away. 🐾 currently work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of time to provide attentive, reliable care for your pets. I'm available for drop-in visits, playtime, feeding, litter box cleaning, and lots of love and attention while you're away. I've cared for a variety of animals, including cats, dogs, and birds, and I treat every pet like family. I carefully follow each owner's instructions, keep pets safe and comfortable, maintain clean food and litter areas, and provide plenty of affection, playtime, and updates with photos so you have peace of mind.
“Caitlyn did a wonderful job! She came before my trip to need Ophelia and learn what needed to be done and how to care for her. She showed up each evening on time and sent pictures , brought in package for me and let me know if anything was out of the norm! I highly recommend and will have her in the future!”
About: My family and I are avid dog lovers! I’ve been around pups as well as various other pets from a baby.

I love her sooo much! Bella also has a wonderful group of “girlfriends” whom she hangs with (shout out to Resha, Sadie and Koko!).

I only board 1 pup at a time with the exception of multiple pups from the same family that require boarding. My pup Bella is mild mannered, and very chill. I have a fenced in yard that is locked and accessible from the glass door. In my home, there will be a dedicated crate if needed, pups are free to roam around on the main level where all the action is!

“I will definitely be booking with Samantha again. We have a rescue who was recently neutered. His cone came off during her visit in which he can become very frightened when trying to put it on.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Thrift
Aliyah took such great care of Pebbles! She had great communication, was punctual, and even called me every day so I could talk to Pebbles on the phone. It was my first time being away from my fur baby since I adopted her so I was a bit worried about how she would react. Aliyah took such great care of her for me which relieved my anxiety and Pebbles’ anxiety too! I am so grateful.
This was my very first time using Rover, and choosing this Star Sitter was one of the best decisions I could have made for Marley and Mocha! I interviewed three different sitters, but the moment she walked into my home, sat down with me, and I watched how naturally she engaged with Marley and Mocha, I immediately felt at ease. There was something about her energy, attentiveness, and genuine love for my pups that gave me the reassurance I needed to leave them in her care. I was away for five days and received consistent updates and follow-ups throughout my trip. I never had to wonder how Marley and Mocha were doing because she kept me informed and made sure I knew they were happy, comfortable, and well cared for. And the true confirmation came when I returned home — especially with Mocha! She was actually looking around for her “Auntie!” That told me everything I needed to know. ❤️ I HIGHLY recommend her. When she says she cares for your pups so that “YOU CAN RELAX,” she absolutely means it. I was able to enjoy my time away knowing my babies were in loving, capable, and trustworthy hands. Thank you, QUEEN!!!!! 👑 You have officially become Auntie to Marley and Mocha, and we will definitely see you again soon!
Emoni was been amazing. My daughter was unexpectedly hospitalized for a week and we needed someone to care for her high energy 2 year old Belgian Malinois who was not happy to be left alone. She did a great job managing his exuberance, as he is a handful. (If it had been me, I would have quit!) Not only did she feed him and play with him in the yard, she even went so far as to move things in the house that he was getting into. She truly went above and beyond. It was a such a relief to have her there and not have to worry. I definitely recommend her and will use her again.
She was amazing with our kitties and was very responsive. I was abroad for two whole weeks and she kept me up-to-date with photos and explanations of which cats she was able to see and what hiding spots she was able to discover and even got a chance to sit with our Most scariest of scaredy-cats. She was very diligent at cleaning up after all of our kitties as well and it was a huge relief to be able to trust her with our home could not recommend more.

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.
