She sent me daily updates and photos, which helped ease my mind while I was away. I'll definitely be using her services again.”

Very obvious he loves dogs and takes this work seriously, which makes me less nervous to welcome someone new into our fold for the care of my big man 🐶. Booked for a walk and really appreciated the notes and special care of my dog and home during intimate weather. 10/10 ⭐️”

About: My children and I currently have a golden doodle named Phoenix! He's been a member of our family shortly after he became 8 weeks old. With all of his energy, he keeps us on our toes and we've helped him to learn about 36 commands together in a brief timeframe. Although, our time together has only amounted to a couple of years, I also grew up with a family that had two border collies, Midnight and C.J., as part of our family. #FourLeggedFun Different from how it was growing up, over the last few years, I have quickly learned about how essential it is to understand canine philosophy and pack mentality with dogs. This has allowed our family to train Phoenix in a way that puts his needs first while still allowing us to get the benefit of loving on him in a way that he can feel loved too. I currently work until the early afternoon on the weekdays. So, I have plenty of time to get a few walks in before bed time :-). On the weekends, I am available from the early afternoons until late evening. I would love to share some outside time with your furry friends. Safety is key for both your pet and myself. As such, I will treat your pets with love, respect, and kindness just as if they were my own. I'll be mindful of the temperature outside, as well as, the walking path that we may take. And, if I notice anything out of the ordinary about your pet during our walk I will be sure to keep you informed. Additionally, please let me know what your pet(s) are accustomed to and I'll do my best to accommodate their needs.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Waxpool
Kayla B was great with our dogs! She showed up right on time and gave them lots of attention during her drop in's. It was the first time ever leaving them alone overnight and just doing a drop in but it went great!!!! Kayla was great and we will definitely use her again!!!
Esther took wonderful care of our cat, Lyo, during her drop-in visits. She fed and gave him water in the morning, scooped his litter/poop, and spent time playing with him for 30 min. She also sent lots of pictures so we could "see" him while we were away. Esther entered and exited our home carefully with each visit, so all these considerations helped us to feel at ease with Lyo in her care.
Sean went above and beyond taking care of our pup. Our girl absolutely LOVES Sean and he deserves 6/5 stars. He provided us plenty of updates to feel at ease while we were away AND was so flexible considering it was a little last minute on our part since our previous plans fell through but that didn’t phase him. Genuinely a great guy. 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 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.
