“I highly recommend Jo to watch your animals! She is patient, considerate, and takes initiative with not only our babies, but also our home. Our Chiweenie takes time to get used to new people but snuggled up with Jo quickly. Jo communicates well and made me feel at ease knowing our dogs were under her care. I will not hesitate to reach out to Jo in the future!”
About: Having raised and trained a puppy from scratch and cared for family dogs into their golden years, I know how to match your dog’s specific pace. I focus on positive reinforcement, enriching sniff breaks, and engaging playtime. Whether your dog needs an energetic adventure, puppy-level patience, or a gentle neighborhood stroll, they get attentive, reliable care. With a completely open and flexible schedule right now, pet care is my primary daily focus rather than something squeezed around an office job. I’m available throughout the day for morning outings, peak midday potty breaks, and evening walks. Having full flexibility allows me to give your dog calm, unhurried attention and accommodate changing schedules easily. Having raised a rescue dog who was initially prone to door-dashing, situational awareness is second nature to me. Whether securing entryways or keeping a watchful eye on neighborhood walks, I’m very comfortable navigating more sensitive or challenging behaviors with calm, steady patience. Alongside safety, I believe genuine play is essential - I always make time for fun games, positive energy, and active engagement. Most of all, I treat your home with complete respect and follow your established routines, knowing firsthand how essential consistency is for a dog’s confidence and comfort.
“I don't even know where to begin. Yun is such a blessing! She is so attentive, friendly and my pup Millie just LOVES her. Don't hesitate booking Yun in any capacity. She is the best. Thanks again, Yun!”
About: I have two small dogs (maltipoo’s) of my own and have cared for my relatives/family friends furbabies often. I’m most experienced with smaller dogs however I’m willing to learn to care for any type of pet/species. I’m currently home full time and so my schedule is very flexible at the moment! I understand everyone has different concerns so I’m more than happy to accommodate as best I can. I live in a townhome so there’s a small backyard area. The area is safe with lots of families and dog owners in the neighborhood. I’m open to long walks, short walks, sniffari’s, drop ins, etc. Inside of my home, the garbage is enclosed within a pull out trash bin so dogs aren’t likely to get through. Cleaning and vacuuming happens regularly so there are minimal hairballs or choking hazards. The doggie gate is located along the stairs in case we need to keep them in a dedicated area but usually it’s left open for the doggies to roam free (as they are potty trained). Feeding is done in different areas so no resource guarding takes place. We have a large crate that the dogs treat at their personal home, they go in and out as they please. I like to keep their potty breaks on a schedule as well as feeding time and the air purifier runs constant.
“I cannot recommend Riley enough! She took care of my dog, Honeybee, over the weekend, and her updates were nothing short of amazing. Every day, I received detailed, thoughtful reports that made me feel completely at ease while I was away. She not only ensured Honeybee got plenty of exercise, fresh air, and engagement, but she also took the time to observe her moods and behaviors, adjusting their routine accordingly. From peaceful morning strolls through José Ave Park to curious moments watching birds at the harbor, her reports painted a picture of not just a caregiver, but a true companion for my pup. I loved how attentive she was to Honeybee’s hydration, food intake, and overall well-being. Plus, the little cuddle sessions before she left were such a sweet touch! It’s clear she genuinely cares about the dogs she watches. If you’re looking for someone reliable, caring, and communicative, Riley is the absolute best. I’ll definitely be booking her again in the future!”
About: As a lifelong animal lover and experienced kitten foster, I understand that every pet is unique. Some love constant attention and playtime, while others prefer a quieter, more independent routine. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, medication assistance, or simply providing companionship, I care for every cat and dog as if they were my own. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can travel with confidence knowing your pet is in caring hands. Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I work my schedule around providing reliable care, including feeding, fresh water, playtime, walks (for dogs), litter box cleaning, and check-ins throughout the day. I am organized and attentive to routines, so I can follow your pet’s schedule closely and make sure they receive consistent care, attention, and companionship while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In your home, I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications, routines, and household rules. I make sure doors, windows, and gates are secure and pay close attention to any changes in behavior or health. For cats, I maintain clean litter boxes, provide enrichment and playtime, and ensure they have a calm, stress-free environment. I treat every home with respect and every pet as if they were my own, providing regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry family member is safe, happy, and well cared for.
“Katie was absolutely AMAZING with Dakota! This is my first time using Rover & I didn't worry in the slightest while I was away, and it was all because of Katie! She went ABOVE & BEYOND knowing I was a bit nervous leaving him! I look forward to using Katie in the future! EXCELLENT COMMUNICATION & ALWAYS KNEW HE WAS SAFE & BEING WELL CARED FOR!”
“Valentina did a great job checking in and taking care of our two cats! She was a good communicator, punctual, and did well with following the outlined instructions. Would book again!”
“In the 13th hour, after having a sitter cancel on day 1 of my trip, Meara was incredibly flexible and was able to make room in her schedule to help care for Chicken and Pookie. While the kitties were under her care, she invested time to get to know them. She went above and beyond to not only communicate their needs but their emotional states. If you're looking for a sitter that cares and love your pets, Meara is the person for you!”
About: Animals have always been my best friend. My entire life I’ve been surrounded by animals, having 2-3 dogs & a cat at all times. I’ve been through the month old puppy stages & the rough old times. Dealt with tantrums and accidents, and loved them still all through it. I have been dog-sitting since I was 16 and still do to this day! Sleeping with them so they don’t get too lonely at night, checking in multiple times daily to feed, give water, play, cuddle, and take on walks. Currently, and for the past year, I walk 2 dogs together, every morning. There’s no job too big for me! I am very flexible and available during the days, week and weekends. I currently walk dogs from 10-11:30am, and the rest of the day and night I am free for however many check ins your doggo needs and for sleepovers! I have been housesitting with and without dogs for many years, so I am well prepared and comfortable with new environments and how to accommodate your household to your liking! I’m used to notes & or instructions on exactly how you wish for my stay to go, no needs are too big or small! I stick to common areas and outside, wherever your canine loves to roam.
About: I have taken care of personal pets, both dogs and cats, since I was a kid. I love all animals! I have also trained puppies on basic obedience and a few tricks. I have a flexible work schedule with plenty of time available during the day. I can easily adjust to your scheduling preferences, with some availability on weekends as well. As a dog walker, I am there to provide guidance and exercise. As a sitter, I am there to provide comfort and consistency. I bring both warmth and boundaries so the pets feel secure.
About: Hi, I’m Paulina! I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember, with hands-on pet care experience dating back to when I was in middle school. Over the years, I’ve cared for all kinds of pets, including guinea pigs, dwarf hamsters, mice, turtles, freshwater fish, a cornsnake, a bearded dragon, and of course, cats and dogs! I have four cats of my own, so I’m very familiar with the responsibility and attention to detail that comes with caring for multiple pets and maintaining their individual routines. I’ve fostered two abandoned puppies, cared for them while they were looking for their next chapter, and helped find them loving homes. I also recently fostered a feral queen and her litter of 4 kittens that were just two weeks old (so tiny and cute!). I had them for about 6 weeks before they went off to their loving homes (yes, I was a foster fail and adopted one!). These experiences really reinforced how much I value giving animals patience, stability, and plenty of affection while they’re in my care. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and understand that every pet is different. Some need lots of playtime and attention, while others are shy, independent, or need a little extra patience to feel comfortable around someone new. I’m happy to meet pets where they are and follow their normal routines as closely as possible. I’m also very attentive to cleanliness, feeding schedules, fresh water, enrichment, and changes in behavior. I want you to feel confident that your pets aren’t just being checked on but they’re genuinely being cared for. I also completely understand the anxiety and concern when it comes to going on trips and leaving your fur babies at home, so I always send detailed updates with lots of pics. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your fur baby and give them the same care and attention I’d want for my own pets. 🐾♥️ I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to build pet care into my day. I’m able to provide consistent visits, walks, feeding, playtime, and companionship almost any time of the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I treat every home and every pet with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I carefully follow instructions, keep doors and gates secure, make sure pets have access to fresh water, and pay close attention to their behavior and surroundings. I’m also very respectful of clients’ homes and will leave things clean and exactly as I found them. Before caring for your pet, I like to understand their routine, personality, feeding instructions, medications if applicable, and any quirks or safety concerns. I believe clear communication and attention to detail are key to giving both pets and their people peace of mind.
About: I have experience caring for both dogs and cats, including looking after dogs in a home environment. As a cat owner myself, I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away. I'm patient, attentive, and respectful of each pet's individual personality and routine. I take the time to understand their needs, follow their owner's instructions, and provide a calm, caring experience. I'm happy to share photos and updates during each visit so you can feel reassured while you're away. I have a flexible schedule and am available for pet care throughout the week, including mornings, afternoons, and evenings. I can accommodate both occasional visits and regular weekly bookings. I enjoy spending time with animals and make sure each visit fits their individual routine and needs. Your pet's safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide care in your home, where your pet feels most comfortable and secure. I carefully follow your instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and daily routines. I always make sure doors and gates are securely closed, food and water are fresh, and your home is treated with respect. I also provide photo updates during visits so you know your pet is safe and well cared for.
“They took good care of our cats, who seemed to like them (which is saying a lot for cats). They took time to play with and groom the cats after they ate. We would hire them again.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Vasona Junction
Nicole has been so great with our new puppy! Having a young puppy is really hard the first few weeks and having Nicole come to give me a small break has been amazing. Our puppy Remy immediately fell in love with her! Nicole is responsible, safe, and very attentive- We are lucky to have found her!
Ching-Chi was wonderful! She always arrived on time and took great care of my cat. She checked everything carefully and gave her medication promptly whenever needed. She was reliable, responsible, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated her help and would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and trustworthy pet sitter!
We’ve had Dana take care of our cat multiple times, and she has always been great! She communicates regularly, and I appreciate that she checks in about our preferences. We can tell that our cat feels relaxed around Dana as well, which is always a great comfort. Thanks, Dana!
Kristin is an absolute angel 😇. Both of our girls (dogs) took to her immediately, and they were happy and calm when we returned home. Kristin takes her role and responsibilities seriously, and meticulously follows all requests. My husband and I were able to fully enjoy our time away, and our girls were able to stay home and enjoy the love and care they received from Kristin. Before Kristin, we had only left them with family. Thanks 🙏 so much Kristin. We will definitely be booking you again. ❤️
Our cat loves Teresa at the first sight! 😄 Teresa took great care of him and gave him lots of attention and pampering. Teresa also sent generous photos with food and litter box updates to let us know our cat has been doing well, and she took great photos - our cat looked like a star! 🥰
Yun-an (Elva) is really the best sitter we know and is our savior! We had originally planned to have her drop by only a few times when we were away but the night before our trip (literally while I was packing), one of our cats had an emergency. The doctor subscribed him medication to be taken twice a day. I was ready to cancel the trip if I couldn’t find someone to take care of him. Luckily, not only did Elva agree last minute to come two times a day, but she really went above and beyond the expectations during her visits. She is extremely detailed oriented and kept me updated about everything. Our cat is really but Elva did a great job of making him feel comfortable and making sure that he ate before giving him the medicine. Her rover cards had dozens of photos and long descriptions of what each of my fur babies did during her visits. She is such a patient and loving care taker, and I can tell both of my cats trust her. Having Elva come by made me feel at ease during my trip, because I know there is someone who would take very good care of my cats. I feel so, so lucky to have found her. Highly highly recommended!
Highly recommend Holly. Holly made the entire experience seamless and stress-free. She was incredibly professional, respectful, and communicated clearly from start to finish. Holly took great care of my pup, followed all instructions perfectly, and kept me well-updated. I felt completely confident leaving my pet in her hands and will absolutely book with her again!
Elizabeth did a wonderful job of taking care of our kitty while we were away! We got lots of updates, pictures, and videos of him during drop-ins. We knew he was in great hands with Elizabeth who was always very responsive, attentive, and kind. We will absolutely rebook with her if we need a pet sitter again! Thank you for taking such good care of our kitty!

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.
