“Jennifer came for a meet and greet with Angus, and I was so impressed! It was apparrent immediately that she is a true animal lover, Angus warmed to her right away. She's also professional and a great communicator!”
“Katie was wonderful. Our cats were happy and content when we arrived home, and she did a great job following our requested instructions. She was always responsive to any communication I sent. We will certainly book Katie again.”
About: Having two dogs since they were puppies and raising four cats has taught me a lot about animal behavior, patience, and daily care routines. I've experienced everything from the teething phase to handling older pets, all which have made me a confident and attentive care-giver for all kinds of pets. I'm currently a student in high-school so my a.m. time is limited. However, I am very much willingly to assist in after-school jobs and opportunities. I will happily take pets for walks for a desired amount of time and/or play with them. I also can participate in evening drop in's where I can refill water/food, let them outside for breaks, and clean any messes.
“Lauren did an amazing job watching our two dogs, including our senior dog who needs a gentler approach. She was reliable, attentive, and kept us updated the entire time, which gave us total peace of mind. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals. We’re extremely happy with her service and would absolutely trust her with our pups again! We highly recommend Lauren!”
“Ceinwein did a great job and was available with short notice. Very reliable and experienced with dealing with an elderly dog and giving medication. Will definitely use her services again!”
“Kaitlyn was very attentive from the moment she met Nala and Charlie. She gave me updates for every check-in and walk she did. She sent pictures throughout her visits and made me feel reassured that my pets were in good hands while I was away. I highly recommend her. Thank you Kaitlyn!”
“So glad we found Juliette to cat sit our shy rescue Samantha! It was evident how much Juliette loves cats! It gave us peace of mind to know Samantha was in good hands while we were away and we appreciated the photos!”
About: I’ve been around animals my entire life, so caring for pets truly feels second nature to me. I’m a proud dog mom to two beagle brothers, which means I’m very familiar with big personalities, lots of sniffing, and plenty of playtime and cuddles. I genuinely love spending time with animals and treat every pet like part of the family. I take the time to get to know their routines, quirks, and favorite things so they feel comfortable and happy while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or just some extra love and attention, your pet will be well cared for and spoiled just like my own. I currently work full time in Pipersville caring for dogs and am available on week days for walks and also available for in home check ins and in home boarding on the weekends! I have an amazing 3 1/2 year old little helper who is great with dogs! My daughter is normally with me on overnights and walks, so child friendly is a must! When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure. I follow all instructions for feeding, walks, medications, and playtime, and I treat your home with respect as if it were my own. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, exercise, and affection while keeping their environment clean and safe. I also provide updates with photos and messages so you have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
“Katerina & Seth were AMAZING. She provided constant updates and tons of pictures. Even though we couldn't really answer as we were traveling out of the country, she still made sure we got our updates. Our pup absolutely adored them, and went above and beyond of drop in visits! I will recommend them to everyone and 100% use again !”
“Jason is a great companion for Dash when we are away. Really appreciate the daily communication, videos and pictures. It’s fun to see how much Dash loves the visits.”
About: Your pet’s new best friend and spoiler when you’re not around. With a degree in Animal Science and over 30 years of experience in everything from paws to claws (and even scales and feathers!), I’ve worked as a veterinary technician, an animal behaviorist (yes, I speak fluent dog AND cat), and I’ve even run my own pet care company for years providing daily walks, home visits and even house sitting. Whether your dog thinks they’re a couch potato or your cat is a secret ninja, I’m here to make sure they’re pampered, safe, and entertained. From horses to hedgehogs, I’ve got you covered – and their best interests are always my top priority. Your pets will be in the hands of an experienced professional who’s equally passionate about their care and keeping them spoiled while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your fur, feathered, or scaly family members soon! Feel free to reach out with any questions or to book a complimentary meet & greet session. I am currently working as a full-time teacher, but am very accommodating and flexible to stay overnight, do morning and afternoon visits to see your pets are safe and happy. On the weekends I can be there around the clock, but during the week I am away for work. Unfortunately, I don't offer sitting in my home. Landlord's rules, not mine. But I am happy to take care of your pets in their own environment by staying at yours, which research shows is less stressful and traumatic for your pet.
“Shannon is an awesome pet sitter. She always kept us informed of how our cat was doing, with daily pictures too. Her love for pets clearly shows in how she conducts herself. We will absolutely ask Shannon to watch our cat again, and look forward to a long lasting relationship!”
“First time using the app and I was a little skeptical and my friend’ dog “coco” has its temper, but Rikki was able to calm him down and walk him. She communicates with me all the time while visiting the dogs. Very happy to know I can trust leaving my little Hendrix with Rikki. Thank you !!”

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.
