About: Ive been taking care of all kinds of animals for a long time! I mostly help with dogs and ive had a few cats sitting jobs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life so I'm very used to both and adore them! You can rest assured your pet will be cared for, their well-being is my priority 💕 It truly depends on what your needs are and im willing to work with most schedules. I'm a year round college student with a flexible schedule I have one big dog and he loves to wonder our farm. I also have sweet cat who is an inside cat. I believe in consistency in walks and feedings
“Due to no fault of his own, we learned through this experience that apparently my kitties would rather bond with females. Yet, Amir pulled through, going far and beyond to find that bond. He, on his own, bought toys and treats, trying to coax them out of their shells. He searched our house through and through trying to find our one kitty, who insisted on hiding the entire time he was in our home. If, and when, you are in a situation where you have to leave your animals in the hands of another - for us, this meant traveling of state and really needing someone we could trust to be our best replacements - Amir is your guy! If, and when, we are in need again, we will be calling him”
“Nadia is so attentive and understanding with my dog who has some separation anxiety. She’s spent a lot of time earning her love and trust until she was comfortable to go on walks with her and play. She writes detailed descriptions of their day together and sends lots of photos to give me so peace of mind that she’s in good hands :) couldn’t recommend her more ❤️”

About: Animals have always been a major component of my life. They tend to be drawn to me and trust in my patient compassionate nature. I enjoy training puppies basic manners and have even taught my cat a few tricks. I love being outdoors and engaging with those around me. Dogs appreciate my high energy and positive reinforcement. My schedule is pretty limited at this time. Every day but Tuesday I am either working or attending classes 11am-730pm. Depending on distance of travel it is possible to provide walks beforehand, after, or on a Tuesday. Let's connect and see how I can best assist caring for your fur baby (: I am available for drop-ins, walks, and overnight stays. Our activities are structured around a schedule that they'd typically experience to keep stress at bay. Lots of walks, treats, snuggles and play time! Respecting pet parents requests is my top priority. Let me know your needs and we will find something that works (:
“What great dog sitters! Couldn't have been happier with the care, attention, and love my dog received while we were gone. Went above and beyond the call of duty. We feel very lucky to have found them!”

“Matthew did an amazing job coming by our house to check on our cat and gather our mail. He contacted us with updates on how everything was. Would definitely have him house sit again in the future.”

About: I grew up taking care of my huskey/german shepherd mix dog and red eared slider turtle. I now have an orange cat of my own! When my coworkers/family go out of town I’m trusted to pet sit for them. I’m currently completely available. I’m happy to take on a last minute call or a long term job if my schedule changes I will update you. I have a fenced yard and lots of toys for them to play with. I enjoy taking my dog for a walk as long as the pavement is not too hot.
“Rachelle did a wonderful job taking care of my cat while I was away. She took the time before I left to get to know my cat, her particular needs, and ask many questions to ensure she was well cared for. While caring for my cat, she communicated frequently and was very responsive. I would definitely ask her to care for my pets again!”

“Angela was great with our dogs. Buster was very protective of his home, but after a w days grew to look forward to her walks and playing. Sadie, our old blind dog, did enjoy her attention. We would definitely have her back. She worked well with our house sitter in coordinating schedules. Enjoyed seeing pictures of the dogs. We had a fabulous trip knowing our dogs were in great care.”

About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and even birds/reptiles of both friends and family before. I use to work in the pet field and have a love of all animals. Ive owned animals of many kinds. I did also train for a short time as both a dog and cat groomer. I have owned and cared for special needs, senior and young animals too. I also have some experience with administering medicines to both cats and dogs. I am currently working part time as a security officer and don't have a set schedule so i have alot of free time to spend with your pups or kits. I can offer several hours a day of enrichment and am willing to travel to please your puppies or kitties. I love outdoor adventures or just sitting at home one the couch cuddling if that what you and your pets prefer. I will care for your dogs in your home as you would like. If your dog has a set schedule and routine, i have no issues with following this. Same for your feline friends. I have no issues following your instructions as written and will do my best to make it a fun and positive experience for both you and your pet.
About: Hello! My name is Rahul (say the “h”). I have had experiences with all kind of dogs. I feel there no need for a preference. Every dog can be loved. I know how hard it is to find a good sitter for your pets and that is why I wanted to do this.I've always had dog(s) in my household growing up. I've seen them all, hyper dogs, lazy dogs, mean dogs, social dogs, and dogs that think that they're human. In my experience in dealing with all of these personalities I've noticed one trait that is essential in dog-care, patience. Patience is something that I have no shortage of, I've seen it all. I am are looking forward to helping you and your family! Can’t wait to take care of your pet! As a full-time Doctor of Physical Therapy student, I have a structured schedule that gives me flexibility throughout the week for dog walks, drop-in visits, and house sitting. Spending time with pets is a great way for me to take a break from studying, get outside, and stay active, so it's something I genuinely look forward to. I'm committed to being reliable, punctual, and communicative. Whether you need someone to walk your dog, check in on your pets during the day, or stay in your home while you're away on vacation, I'll treat your pets and your home with the same care and respect I would my own. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Your pet's safety, comfort, and routine are always my top priorities. I know that every pet is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, preferences, and any special instructions before caring for them. When caring for pets in your home, I do my best to keep their routine as consistent as possible—from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and cuddles. I treat every home with respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. For dog walks, I prioritize safe routes, secure leashing, and positive interactions with people and other animals. I always pay close attention to your dog's body language and energy level to make sure they're comfortable and having a great time. Communication is important to me, so I'll send regular updates and photos during each visit or stay. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away with complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is being cared for with patience, kindness, and genuine attention.
“Merry was absolutely phenomenal! ❤️ She loved our cats, gave them all the attention and care I had asked for, treated them like her own, and sent us pictures every day. Knowing our girls were in such loving and caring hands gave us tremendous peace of mind while we were away. Merry kept in constant communication, which made us feel even more comfortable and reassured. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our fur babies! I will definitely be booking with Merry again for any future pet-sitting needs. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who truly cares! 🐾💕”

“Beyond kind to both me and my kitty! Always on time, very attentive, and sent great updates and photos! Took the time to interact and play with my cat and always responded quick! Highly recommend!”

“Heidi did an excellent job caring for our two kitties, one of whom is a senior cat who requires daily medication and is a bit on the high-maintenance side. Heidi handled it all like the pro. We came home to happy cats and everything was clean and organized upon our return, as well. We would re-hire Heidi in a heartbeat and we feel lucky to have found her! We appreciate her help soooo very much! Thank you, Heidi!!”

“Paige is the sweetest and kindest, and our kitty girl’s “Home Alone Christmas” while we were out of state was made very special and not so alone with Paige’s drop in visits! Thank you Paige!”

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.
