“Marianne was absolutely amazing! She cared for my very old pup, Papa (16 years young), while I was out of town for 2 days, and I honestly cannot recommend her enough. We first connected through Rover a few months ago, but that trip ended up falling through. This time, I had a short trip and decided to finally give Rover a try—and I’m so glad I did! Marianne was right on time, spent so much quality time with Papa, and sent me plenty of pictures that kept me at ease while I was away. She was gentle, patient, and truly attentive to his needs. On top of all that, her prices are beyond reasonable. If you’re looking for someone reliable, kind, and trustworthy to care for your furry family member—look no further. Marianne is amazing!”
“Bianca was an awesome pet sitter! So happy we found her. 😊 Our two babies loved how she played with them and always made certain that they had fun. We will definitely use her again. 👍 Highly recommend 👌”
“Most pet parents can agree it can be challenging to find someone you can trust to take care of your pet/fur baby for you. However, Alyssa was very attentive and did an excellent job taking care of my cat while I was away for a week.”
“Melody was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She took wonderful care of our two Chihuahuas and Boston Terrier, making sure they were well fed, happy, loved, and got plenty of walks. It was such a relief knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was attentive to each of their individual needs and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs and would absolutely recommend Melody to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog walker!”
“Nicole is just awesome. She is so easy to work with and flexible. I booked Nicole services to look after my cats as I was going on a trip. She did such a wonderful job of looking after them and keeping me informed every visit. Highly recommend her.”
About: I treat every pup like family! I take the time to really get to know each pups 🐶 personality, routine, and what makes them happiest. I make sure they feel comfortable, cared for and my number one is safety. I keep you updated with photos and messages throughout the stay! My daily routine is easily adjusted. Whether I’m caring for one or several, I quickly learn their personalities, routines, and preferences to fit into my day. My yard is fully fenced so pups can play securely. my Husband, kids and I share a loving home. There’s always plenty of playtime, outdoor fun even relaxing moments. I do everything for them to feel right at home with tv for them and they have their own areas to relax.
“Nicole was very helpful in all the days she cared for my kitties. I will definitely recommend her to others for drop-in visits. I felt at ease and comfortable leaving my kitties with Nicole. Thank you. ?”
“Brenda was so gentle and kind to my senior cat Gracie. She arrived for the pet visits at the agreed time and sent lots of pictures of of Gracie engaging with her. Gracie is usually quite shy, but she she was very social with Brenda. It was a comfort to have Brenda available for drop in visits.”
About: I’ve always loved animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with small and medium-sized dogs. I’m patient, attentive, dependable, and understand how important it is to have someone you can trust with your pet. Whether your pup needs a walk, playtime, feeding, or some extra company while you’re away, I’ll make sure they receive plenty of care and attention. I treat every pet with kindness and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while they’re with me. I’m currently a full-time college student, and pet care fits perfectly into my weekly schedule. I’m available Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, as well as Mondays before 3 PM, for dog walks and drop-in visits. I have flexible availability during those times and am happy to coordinate with pet parents to find a schedule that works best for their pups. 🐾 During walks and drop-in visits, I’ll carefully follow all instructions provided by you, including feeding routines, walking preferences, and any special care needs. I’ll keep your pup supervised, secure on their leash, and give them plenty of attention and affection while they’re in my care. I’ll also keep you updated with pictures and messages, and I’m happy to call or FaceTime during the visit so you can check in and see how your pup is doing. 🐾
“We are just always so thankful for Mary!! She takes the best care of our pup and I always feel safe knowing she’s there to meet her needs when I’m out of town for work.”
“I just want to thank Felipe for taking great care of my fur baby ! This was the first leaving him home for a long period time and usually I put him in daycare. Felipe was kind, compassionate , loving, consistent , and communicated very well. He spent time with my Lonzo and made him very happy.”
About: I have three years of experience caring for dogs, and I truly enjoy spending time with them. I’m currently offering drop-in visits and house sitting. I’m excited to meet new clients and make some wonderful new furry friends! I work from home, so my schedule is very flexible. I’m available throughout the week and can easily make time for drop-in visits, house sitting, and plenty of attention for your dog. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and respect every dog’s individual routine. I’ll make sure your pet receives the care, attention, exercise, and companionship you prefer.
About: I've been looking after dogs and cats for almost everyone I know since I was twelve and I've wanted to be a veterinarian since I was very young. Currently, I'm saving for vet school, but before finding Rover I worked in veterinary offices and boarding kennels where I was responsible for everything from filing medical records and booking appointments to group enrichment and food and medication administration (including subcutaneous fluids). I have also trained dogs professionally (mostly puppies, but some older dogs as well) and fostered for the county shelter. These experiences have made me comfortable with medical and behavioral challenges with animals of any size and I am confident in my ability to care for your fur babies as well as I do mine. Lastly, dietary restrictions excluded of course, don't forget the treats and toys! I am very big on enrichment and positive reinforcement and I'm yet to meet an animal who didn't want a little spoiling. I'm excited to meet you and your pets and hope to foster a long and trusting relationship with both. I am home almost every day that I am not out on Rover jobs. This allows me the flexibility to work with multiple pet families and meet everyone's needs. As all pets are different, I am happy to discuss care plans with pet parents to make sure I can provide what is both needed and wanted, but my schedule is flexible enough to accommodate the vast majority of requests. I do request at least 4 hours notice (including service confirmation) for walks, 2 days notice for drop ins, and a week's notice for house sitting. This is to ensure that I can meet the needs of all clients adequately as well as schedule my non-pet care obligations appropriately. If you are in need of services on shorter notice than the above, I will do my best to accomodate but services will be subject to a 40% upcharge as a rush fee. I am active on Rover throughout the day from about 9am to 8pm (unless I am actively with client animals in which case I remain accessible to said client minus times I am indisposed). I am happy to walk/drop-in on pets several times a day. Administering food and medication during these times is something I am completely comfortable with as I do so for my own animals regularly. Scooping litter boxes is also well within my wheelhouse (though my cat is particularly picky and has a self-scooping one for his comfort). I am used to active/playful dogs and cats as I have one of each myself and I am happy to take some long walks and/or get a good play session going depending on what is most appropriate for the animals in my care. With permission (and the appropriate safety gear) I am also happy to take dogs to their local dog park for socialization and peer play.
“Isabella took great care of Lilly. Lilly is a bit intimidating initially when she meets new people. Isabella won her over quickly and was her best buddy while we were away.”
About: As a devoted dog mom, I know how important it is to leave your dog with someone you trust. I understand that every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. My goal is to provide a calm, welcoming home where your pup feels like part of the family, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re receiving the same care and attention I’d want for my own dog. Pet care is already a big part of my everyday life because I care for my own dog, Tucker. Since my daily routine already revolves around walks, potty breaks, feeding, playtime, and lots of love, welcoming another dog into my home fits in naturally and allows me to provide attentive, consistent care throughout the day. Safety is my top priority in my home. I maintain a clean, secure, and dog-friendly environment where pets are always supervised, kept away from potential hazards, and treated like family. I carefully follow each dog’s routine and any special instructions to help them feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Washington Park
Sandra is committed and keeps an amazingly good schedule considering her full time obligations - I really respect her work ethic, reliability and follow-through. Though the thing I most appreciate personally is just how caring and attentive she always is to my precious elder cat Molly. Thank you Sandra for letting me vacation with peace of mind knowing you’ve got Molly’s back and she’s going to get her medication. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This was my first time using Courtney and it won’t be my last. She was amazing! She quickly responded to my last minute request for drop-ins and navigated through a new house with ease. My dogs loved her and that tells you a lot about a person! Will definitely be using her again!
This was the 2nd time Angie came over for my chop. She even stayed a little bit longer than what I paid for she is really great with my dog and I'm thankful that she has been able to give my dog company while I'm at work I know she goes above and beyond what I ask for
Grateful to have found Marianne on Rover when my regular cat sitter was unavailable. She took the time to get to know my cats and was patient with the picky one who eventually came around and was friendly. Marianne was reliable, responsible, and on time, kept in touch and was easy to reach.
Melody was absolutely amazing with our dogs! She took wonderful care of our two Chihuahuas and Boston Terrier, making sure they were well fed, happy, loved, and got plenty of walks. It was such a relief knowing they were in such caring and capable hands. She was attentive to each of their individual needs and treated them like her own. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs and would absolutely recommend Melody to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving dog walker!
This is the second time I have asked Gary to look after my cats while I was away on vacation. I’m still floored by how attentive and reliable he is! He is a kind and thoughtful person who is a very dependable sitter, checking in with me regularly and providing updates on the cats’ day-to-day and overall wellbeing. I highly recommend Gary to anyone looking for a trustworthy cat sitter. He goes above and beyond to make sure your babies are well taken care of!
I couldn’t be happier with the care my cat received! 🐱❤️ She was reliable, communicative, and incredibly kind throughout her Drop In visits. I really appreciated the updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about my cat and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, responsible, and caring pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again in the future which is very soon! 🐾
Reebah took wonderful care of my cat, Garfield. She followed all of my instructions carefully, including giving his medications and his food, and she provided timely updates throughout her visits. I felt completely at ease knowing Garfield was in such good hands. I would definitely recommend Reebah to anyone looking for someone caring, responsible, and trustworthy to look after their pets!
Marissa was truly AMAZING! 🥹❤️ I reached out to her last minute after someone cancelled on me, and she was the first person willing to step in and take care of my pups. She kept me updated throughout and made sure they were fed, happy, and well taken care of. I’m so grateful for her help and highly recommend her! 🐶
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter! Agustina was so sweet with my cats, and you could tell from the pictures and updates that they loved having her there. She kept me updated every visit and gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My cats looked so happy in every photo. I’d absolutely trust her to watch them again!
Henry was amazing! From minute he met our dogs, we knew they would be in great hands. Henry did a great job of handling our three energetic dogs, calming their excitement, and playing with them during his visit. While he was watching them, Henry sent detailed reports and photos, and it’s obvious the dogs loved their time with Henry! We would absolutely book again.

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 .
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 , 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 .
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.
