“Jennifer is amazing! She’s super kind to Pretzel, very professional, punctual, friendly and communicative. Pretzel starts off a little shy and she was patient with him. She goes above and beyond for your fur baby.”

“Impossible to ask for more! I forgot to tell Andria where the litter box was (it was hidden pretty well) and she still found and cleaned it!! She also turned the light on before leaving, which I didn’t ask her to do but speaks to her thoughtful level of care! :)”

My neighborhood is very walkable so we will go on many walks.

“This is the second time I leave Ruby with Yanci and honestly I’m so grateful to have found her ! Ruby is very special and needs certain needs during her feedings, Yanci followed each protocol with so much love and kindness ! Ruby got the right exercise , food and water that she needed ! We came back to see Ruby happy and cared for ! Would highly recommend !! ♥️ Esta es la segunda vez que dejo a Ruby con Yanci , y la verdad es que estoy muy feliz de haberla encontrado!! Ruby la ama , a penas la vio de nuevo como radiaba de felicidad. Aparte que ruby requiere un protocol especial para comida, Yanci con ningún problema siguió el mismo protocolo que se le dejó. Aparte de darle mucho cariño , su caminatas era muy importante y Yanci se preocupó de darle harto ejercicio , agüita y comida. Ahora viejo tranquila sabiendo que mi perrita está en muy buenas manos. La recomiendo al 100% ! Trato a mi perrita como si fuese de ella ♥️”

Courtney has been the best to work with. She is extremely helpful and is always helping us out with Bear. I also love how attentive she is with my dog. I am always receiving many updates and messages from her! Bear is always so happy after visiting with Courtney, and is always excited to see her. Highly recommend her watching anyone’s animal!
Kristel was absolutely wonderful with my dog Pepper! Pepper can be quite stubborn and is usually hesitant around new people, but Kristel’s patience and genuine care completely won her over. From the very beginning, Kristel showered Pepper with love and attention, taking time to let her warm up and always making sure she felt comfortable. I received regular updates and adorable photos, and it was clear that Pepper was relaxed, happy, and truly in the best hands. When I returned home, Pepper was her usual cheerful self, maybe even a bit better behaved! I’m so grateful for Kristel’s dedication and kindness. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who will love and care for your pup as much as you do! Thank you, Kristel, for taking such amazing care of Pepper!
I had a wonderful experience with José. He followed every instruction perfectly and was extremely professional throughout the entire stay. Communication was excellent, he always kept me updated and made me feel at ease while I was away. I would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommended!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Virginia Gardens stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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.

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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
