“Ashley has done several drop ins with Ace, Leo, and Zeus.. I enjoy the fact that’s she is always early, and is always willing to go the extra mile for our munchkins! We are so grateful to have a sitter for our pets! Thanks again.”
“This was our second time booking Danelle and she was great again! She was timely and kept Ivy entertained while we were away during the evening. We’ll definitely be hiring her again!”
About: I’ve been pet sitting my neighbors dogs since I was 15. This summer I spent 2 months in Greece taking care of 100+ pound dogs! I have plenty of experience giving animals their medicine and grooming if needed! I am a full time student majoring in Animal Behavior, with many gaps in my schedule to have enough time for your animal! I am the most free on the weekend but have time throughout the weekdays! As I am a student I do not have my family dog with me. However I would love to treat your dog as my own and care for them greatly!
“Huge fan of Angie! She’s consistent, communicative and caring. She treats my dog as if it was her own. She also takes great pictures and includes them with each report card. Highly recommend her.”
“Aly was able to support last minute and my pup loved her from first meeting! So sweet and clearly has love and care for fur babies. She checked in and sent pictures when popping in to let Jada out, which was so appreciated!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was 20. Always owned a dog and they have been emotional support animals for me. I enjoy playing, cuddling and taking them for walks!! I currently work part time so I spend the majority of time at home. I will be spending that time walking and playing with the dogs. I don't have a fenced yard but I have a tie out but I usually just take them outside with me on a leash.
“Kandice did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Roy and Ewok both said that she was very nice to them, scooped their litter boxes, fed them and gave them snacks. And Ewok got pets. Kandice sent me updates on their activities and pictures of them every day.”
About: I have taken care of dogs since a very young age.. I am experienced with dogs I’ve worked with dogs in the past as well as worked at doggy daycares/vets in the past. My schedule is relatively open so even if you need someone to come and walk the dog a couple times a day I can do that! I have experience with giving dogs medication and am able to help out with that as well. I watched a few dogs in the past that were seniors and needed special care with meds so I have experience in that category:) at the moment i am not working so this actually works out very well with me im relatively open for pet care:) i just have a few scattered doctors appointments throughout the week in my clients home I will make sure to follow any rules and or guidelines that are expected of the animals and myself obviously as I am in someone else’s home..
About: I’ve owned dogs and cats for 40 years. All ages, breeds, temperaments. I respect your routine and would love to help you and your pets have a stress free day, I’m currently retired and working part-time but my hours are very flexible! I can easily fit a walk or visit in any weekday. Let me help! I have two dogs and two cats so in my home care is not available. I’m happy to visit your home for cat care or walk your pups!
About: Hello people of Rover! I’ve been around animals for as long as I can remember, growing up with dogs, guinea pigs and a hamster. I’m still very passionate about animals. I have corgis and still keep guinea pigs at home. When I was younger, I volunteered at HAWS as a cat socializer and Elmbrook Humane Society as a small animal socializer and cage cleaner. I also used to pet sit for my neighbor’s cats and have cared for animals while family was on vacation. I’d love to connect, and I can’t wait to meet you and your furry friend! I can provide drop-in and walk service in the mornings, mid-day period and later evenings. I do pet sitting around a second shift job. I'm available all days of the week. We have 3 dogs at home, whom we provide with exercise, affection, high quality food and grooming care. We also keep guinea pigs, and I have had a hamster in the past. I used to live with and care for cats, as well as watching cats for neighbors.
“Melita did an amazing job taking care of my dogs. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly cared about making sure they were comfortable and well looked after. I really appreciated the updates and the peace of mind while I was away. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter and would happily book with her again in the future.”
“Lilyan was awesome! :) This was my first time using rover and I was super nervous but she really made it easy. She left detailed notes and sent over great photos making the process 10X easier. I also thought it was really sweet that she picked up after the dogs and I could tell in the photos they were out of breathe from playing during her stops at the house. Thank you a million Lilyan and would definitely choose you again!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs since a young age in my own home and have dog sat for several families as a teenager and adult. I like to play and walk dogs and take care of their needs. I do have experience with puppies. I also have experience with cats, rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, gerbils and fish. I work from home, so I have some flexibility/availability during the morning and afternoon and am free in the evenings. I am also available most weekends. I love getting to know dogs and other pets. I will learn from the owners about their pets and observe their behaviors to see works best for them in our interactions.
“Suzanne did a fantastic job caring for our three cats. We have a special-needs cat who needs a pill every visit. Pilling a cat can be challenging, and I fully expected that there would be missed doses, but Suzanne managed to give her all her meds, as well as lots of pets and we received adorable photos. It was wonderful to get updates after every visit, and I never had to worry about how they were doing.”

Kandice did a wonderful job taking care of my two cats. Roy and Ewok both said that she was very nice to them, scooped their litter boxes, fed them and gave them snacks. And Ewok got pets. Kandice sent me updates on their activities and pictures of them every day.
Jen was great. I had her come by to check on our cats and take care of the autolitter boxes because my elderly Mom could not do that. She was completely understanding and did a great job. We're going out of town again this week and Jen will be back again. Thanks Jen!

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.

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.
