“I booked Anna to take care of my precious cat during a recent vacation and couldn’t be happier. She was quick to reply to any texts, and I came home to a happy, chill little kitty :) I wouldn’t hesitate to call her again!”
“Julia was punctual, communicative, and great with our dog, especially when he was spooked by fireworks outside and needed extra encouragement to go out! We’d absolutely book her again in the future. Thanks, Julia!”
“Kelly is amazing!! We had to extend our trip due to flight cancellations and she was willing to add additional days so our cat was taken care of which was a huge relief!!”
About: I am a veterinary student at THE Ohio State University and I am in New York for a veterinary internship. In addition to daily feedings, walking, and maintenance, I am also able to administer medication orally and via injections if needed. I also have pet guinea pigs and can help with small mammals too. My priority is to make your pet as comfortable as they can be while you are away. Available on weekends and evenings with prior arrangements. I am open to communicating with you to fiddle out how to best care for your pet Please leave instructions if applicable—mix water in food, rotate blankets etc—and I will make sure they happen. In your home, I am respectful of your privacy and will leave everything the way I found it. In my daily/per visit updates, I will note any changes in behavior and appetite so you can make decisions on what you want me to do to help your pet feel better.
“I can't reccomend Taylor enough! She took such good care of my cats and lizard while we were on vacation for a week. We have a very shy and standoffish cat and it was clear to me that Taylor made them all feel so safe and comfortable based on how willing the cats were to let her snap pics of them every day - shes a great photographer too! Great communication, punctual, flexible (thank you again for feeding and keeping an eye on our bearded dragon!), and just all around a wonderful sitter who we will absolutely be booking with again. I would trust her in my home and with my pets any day. Thank you Taylor!”
“Estefani is such a wonderful and attentive sitter! She is always so considerate and we would book with her again anytime - cannot recommend her enough!”
“Gwen took fantastic care of our cat when we were away for a two-week long trip. I am always nervous about leaving my pet for so long, but with Gwen’s help I knew he was not only being cared for, but nurtured as well. Gwen came over every day to make sure Rue had company, and I am grateful I got to enjoy my trip knowing he was well looked after. Gwen is friendly, has great communication, and sends photos every day. She even left a very thoughtful gift at the end of her last visit. I would/will 1000% book with Gwen again, and you should too!!”
“Madison stopped by to let our dogs out and feed them. She’s watched them in the past and the dogs always enjoy her. She’s also always very communicative and sends plenty of photos of our pups when she’s with them!”
About: I am a current veterinary student at OSU with lots of pet sitting experience. In the past, I have owned and taken care of dogs, cats, fish, horses, cattle, and reptiles but am open to caring for more! I’ve helped train service dogs in the past using positive reinforcement. I will make sure to take special care with your pet and follow any instructions you leave! I am a full time student but have a pretty flexible schedule. I am able to do overnights and able to drive within the Columbus and surrounding area. I will spend plenty of time using enrichment, walks, and spending quality time with your pet to make it feel as though you haven’t left. :)
About: I grew up with Susie (dog) and Corky (cat). I have helped many friends and neighbors care for their pets while they are away and enjoy walking, especially with a purpose! During the summer, I have a very flexible schedule and am available during the morning, midday, afternoon and evening for pets' varied needs and I love to walk. I take your pets' care seriously and am committed to making them feel comfortable and meeting their needs. Each pet has a distinct personality and varied needs.

Elizabeth was wonderful, she was able to help me last minute and took such good care of my two cats! She gave thorough updates, answered any questions I had about the cats while I was gone, and both cats seemed relaxed when I got back. I would definitely recommend her services!
Alyssa did a wonderful job checking in on our two kitties during a long weekend break. She made sure they had food, water, and playtime. Even our skittish cat, who usually hides around strangers, stayed out and let her pet and interact with him. We were amazed! 10/10 would recommend.
This was our second time using Julia, and we had another great experience! She is reliable, follows our dog’s routine closely, and makes it easy for us to feel comfortable knowing he’s well cared for while we’re away. We’ll definitely continue using her!

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 .

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.
