“Joshua was great, responsible, proactive, attentive and respectful. We really appreciate him watching Riley on such short notice. Would love to have him watch Riley again in the future. Thank you!”
“Sanela did an amazing job caring for our two boy cats! She provided many photos and videos during her visits with them and that was so nice to see while we were away. She was very communicative throughout the entire process and also let me set up a FaceTime call with her prior to the visits to show her around our home. Right off the bat I could tell that she loves caring for animals, and that our boys would be in great hands. We came home to a clean apartment and happy and healthy kitties, and we are excited to use Sanela again for future visits!”

“Noila took amazing care of my two kitties for two full weeks! She sent daily pictures and videos of them playing, and included any other information about her check ins with them. She made leaving town so much less stressful! Fantastic experience.”
“Rosemary is THE BEST. She gives great updates (and the cutest pictures!) while watching our cats and I feel at ease leaving town knowing she is taking amazing care of them. She truly goes above and beyond!”
“I HIGHLY recommend Courtney! I am very particular about my dogs, and she took such great care of them. I will absolutely book her again. One of my dogs is very skeptical about new people but loved Courtney immediately. Both my dogs take medication daily (one twice daily), and this was no problem.”
“Frances & Julia were great. They were responsive to our last minute booking request and communicative throughout the visits we scheduled over a weekend while we were away. The photos and videos they shared with us of our puppy showed how great they cared for him, and our dog was in great spirits when we returned. I would definitely recommend to fellow pet parents and re-book if we need care again.”
“Yuzhou was great! She was very attentive and sent lots of photos throughout the stay. Luna is usually shy with sitters, but she warmed up to her right away — a rare sign of trust. We also came home to a sweet handwritten card. Truly grateful, and I’d definitely book her again!”
“Charlene spent an evening with our pup while we were getting married. She made sure he has a walk, ate, has lots of play time, and was all tucked in at the end of the night. He looked happy as can be in all the pictures she sent!”

I couldn’t be happier with the care Leone received! Thank you for taking such great care of him, making sure he was fed, and spending time playing with him while we were away. I would highly recommend Madison to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, and I will absolutely use you again in the future!
Yuzhou was my first pet sitter on Rover, and I know I hit the jackpot. She reliably kept to the schedule, did daily feedings and litter cleaning, but what really impressed me was her notes each day. I could tell that Yuzhou was connecting with my cat, asking me questions along the way, and absolutely won both our hearts ❤️ I highly recommend Yuzhou and will book with her again
We recently moved to a new apt and needed a new sitter for our 10 year old kitty. Carol did a great job with her in all ways. Carol kept her routine and spoiled her the way we do. Our cat was relaxed and well taken care of by Carol. Highly recommend her pet services.
Galina was incredibly helpful and accommodating with the booking process! She left our place exactly the way it was and followed all the care instructions for my cat perfectly. She also made sure he got plenty of much-needed playtime while I was away and sent a ton of cute photo updates! I will definitely book Galina again in the future.
Thanks Haley for taking such good care of our cat while we were gone. Haley sent photos every day, when we got home, we saw she even washed our cats foot bowl, no litter left in the house. My daughter was so happy to see our cat picture every day, it made her day.
Nina was a fabulous drop in for my cat. She took great care of him, adapting to his needs, and managing the litter box, trash, and recycling. She even carefully cleaned up after him when he had a digestive glitch as cats sometimes do, without complaint and with genuine concern for his well being. Drop in photos were a delight and made me feel he was happy and comfortable. I trust her and will definitely book her again.

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 Wakefield 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.
