“Drew was very attentive with my fur babies!! She followed all instructions and was able to adjust when my dog ran to other dogs. She was able to remain calm and wrangle them back in the house. Her communication was superb and I never had to worry about getting ahold of her. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Jaymee was absolutely amazing and went above and beyond for our girls during a two week vacation! She understood their different personalities and gave our shy kitty enough space to feel safe. The cats were super well cared for and were happy when we got back. We are excited to use her again for our next trip!”

“How nervous I was going through a dog sitting service. My mind was put at ease once I met with Kristen. She is incredible with my bulldog Gizmo. Sending me updates and pictures of my dog and how the visit went, played fetch with him to tire him out and gave him treats. Stayed longer than the scheduled time to make sure he went out twice before leaving. If you’re looking for a responsible and caring animal lover, Kristen is your best bet! I will definitely be hiring her again in the future.”

“I couldn’t be happier with the care my pets received! From the moment I met Medea, it was clear that she is incredibly conscientious, dependable, and genuinely love animals. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed every instruction carefully, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It was great knowing my pets were in such capable and caring hands. I came home to happy, relaxed pets and everything exactly as we left it. It’s rare to find someone who is so attentive, trustworthy, and professional.”

About: Being a certified veterinary technician for 17 years has given me a multitude of experience both medically and behaviorally with animals. I have worked in clinic settings and home settings with animals. I have always had pets in my own home and helped friends and family members with their pets. I can assist with pets with special needs, elderly pets, and young pets due to my vast medical knowledge. I can also help with exercising, basic training, bathing, nail trims, and other basic grooming. I am currently a stay at home mom, so outside of school drop off and pick up, plus some after school activities during the week and some weekends, my schedule is pretty open for bookings. I can be flexible as needed and can schedule on a case by case basis. I am currently only offering to come to your home to do cares. My personal pets are special needs and cannot mix with other animals, so for the safety of your pets and mine, I cannot welcome pets into my home. When I come to your home, I will respect any requests, rules, wishes you have for me to complete or follow when I am there to take care of your pets.

“Zyaria is awesome! She is very responsive for questions and communicate very well about giving care of our pet. During her first visit, we had a little problem about getting inside of the house and she can't get hold of me because my phone wasn't on sight. She reached out to my bf and was very patient and helpful resolving the whole situation. My dog is a senior dog and requires some extra steps of care, and she handled it very well. I will definitely come to her for more care service in the future!”

About: I love every pet I meet, I am comfortable around big dogs and angry cats, we always figure it out! I have experience taking care of kittens and puppies, as well as senior cats. Most animals like my vibe, but I understand that some pets simply aren't fans of visitors, especially when their humans aren't home. I always give them a chance to warm up to me, but I know when my presence is causing more stress than comfort. Working from home, my schedule is completely flexible! I am generally always available to take all the time and care your pets deserve during our play-date! I will spend as much time as I can with the pets. I usually throw in an earbud, check the home for any accidents, and then pet or play with them as much as they like!

About: I’ve had dogs my whole life, mostly big dogs, so I’m very comfortable around pups of all sizes! I currently have my own Labrador Retriever, and I absolutely love spending time with dogs. I also work at an animal hospital, so I’m around dogs every day and have experience caring for them. Whether your dog is big, small, energetic, or more laid-back, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and loved while they’re in my care! Anytime on Sundays, Monday's between 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm(I work a split shift), Tuesdays 1 pm-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm, Wednesday's between 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm, Thursdays between 1 pm-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm, Fridays if I am working between 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm-9 pm but if I'm not I can do anytime 7 am-9 pm, Saturdays 11 am-3 pm and 5:30 pm -9 pm. I care for every pet based on their individual needs and routine. In my client’s home, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, fed, exercised, and given plenty of attention and love. I’ll follow their normal schedule as closely as possible so they feel comfortable while their owner is away. I’m also happy to give medications when needed and keep an eye out for anything unusual with their health or behavior.

“My two Aussie Cattle Dogs just loved Reggie to death. My little one is usually pretty shy with new people but on the first meeting she warmed up fast to her. When I returned home they were clean, well fed and very happy. She sent me photos of their walks and I feel very confident in her abilities to take care of my lovable monsters.”

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.
