“Harold and Teddy said Rachel was great! Teddy loved playing and getting his zoomies out. Harold was so glad he could still get patio door sniffs while we were gone. We really appreciate you Rachel! Thanks for loving our little buddies while we were away.”
About: I love dogs and recently had to say goodbye to my beloved Lab mix, Bear. I’m not ready to bring a new dog into the family yet, but I’m eager to get to know and care for your beloved furry family members! I grew up with a Dalmatian named Pal, a Heinz 57 called Skipper, and have loved many other dogs along the way, including Maddy, Blu, Mercedes, Birdie, and Moomin. I’m currently working part-time and eager to fill some time meeting, playing with, and caring for your beloved pets so you have peace of mind. I’ll come to you and check in with your dog(s), allow them to relieve themselves, take them for a walk, ensure their water bowl is full and give them some loving attention when you can’t be there.

About: Thank you for considering me to provide care for your fur baby. I am available to provide drop-in care for your cat or small to mid-sized dog as well as walk your dog in your absence. I have almost always had a cat in my life. I had cats all throughout childhood and for 22 consecutive years as an adult. I usually have two furry friends in my home at one time. My current loves are an 18-year-old Maine Coon and a 6-year-old Tuxedo. I can care for kittens up through geriatric kitties like mine. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am happy to take requests on short notice. I am happy to provide meds, brush your feline friend, feed, change litterbox, play with, or whatever else your cat needs. Although I have never had a dog, I have cared for the dogs of family members when they traveled or were recovering from surgery. Dog care included walking, feeding, playing, and just making sure the dogs stayed happy and healthy until my family member returned home. I appreciate the trust placed in me and can't wait to meet your four-legged companion. I have complete flexibility with my schedule and am willing to take requests with just one day's notice. Your fuzzy companions will be in good hands while you travel. Just let me know what your pet need while you are away from home, and I will provide it. I will leave your home exactly the way I found it as well.
About: Hi! I’m currently available as a drop-in sitter with an open and flexible schedule, and I would love to help take care of your pet(s)! I have experience taking care of both cats and dogs since I was a kid, and I’ve also been the sole owner of a cat for 4 years now. All pets receive the upmost care on my watch, and I would treat your pet as if it were my own. I’m excellent at maintaining schedules and routine care (feeding, medication, some grooming etc.), following instructions, sending updates, being reliable and adaptable, and overall ensuring your pet’s needs are met. I’m very flexible and available any day of the week and most times of the day, but I would prefer at least a day’s notice beforehand for when you need care. In my home, there’s my 1 cat as well as 2 dogs that are my parents’ dogs. With my cat, she has a daily feeding schedule (4 divided meals at 4-hour intervals) that I’ve maintained for the last few years, and I also scoop her litter daily, keep up with her routine care, and make sure she gets lots of attention and stimulation. I also help with my parents’ dogs when needed as well such as letting them outside, feeding them and providing water when needed, taking one of them on walks, etc.
“Brianna was so wonderful with our Pip! We appreciated that she was willing to come over and meet pippa before we left, and sent us plenty of photos. She stayed for a nice long visit and gave us peace of mind when we were away!”
About: Hello! I’ve had pets all of my life. I had my last dog for 12 years, and now I have a two cats who are now 5. I’ve always had a cat or dog in my home. Most currently, I’ve house sat and cared for dogs for many close family and friends. My experience is with medium to large sized dogs. Depending on the request of pet parents, I can also run with dogs. I do this often for my brother’s 7 year old Goldendoodle! I have experience with cats and dogs alike, ranging from puppies and kittens to senior pets. I’m an avid runner and walker and truly believe in animals getting the exercise they need. While I currently have a cat, I would also very much so like to have some dog/puppy time on walks and check ins.
“Christy always does a great job with Addy. Every time we travel we use Christy. She knows Addy's routine and ensures she is well taken care for. We truly appreciate her kindness and care for our kitty.”
About: I’ve taken care of friends’ pets since I was young. I love all kinds of animals and love meeting new dogs. I like all kinds of pet personalities as well! I don’t have any pets of my own but I like helping pet owners on rover to fill my pet fix. I’m usually free evenings and weekends. I also work hybrid so my work schedule is flexible. I live in Minneapolis but am open to driving. I live near a dog park and have access to lots of dog friendly trails. I love staying active and being outside. Excited to meet you and your dog(s)!
“Abigail was fantastic! It was an initial meet and greet for her to watch our pups and house for a night, and our dogs loved her IMMEDIATELY. She asked all the right questions, and made us feel certain that our pups and house were in great hands.”
About: I worked at Stone Mountain Pet Lodge from 2022-2024. I also have been volunteering at Midwest Animal Rescue & Services (MARS) since 2016! I have a passion for animals and I am going to college for animal behavior! During one of my semesters at college I had the opportunity to foster a dog who ended up getting adopted at the end of the school year! All that being said, I have lots of experience with all sorts of dogs! I’m will be working part-time for Rover when I am home for college! I will be available during the summer for drop in visits and walks! Safety is always my top priority when it comes to taking care of animals. My goal is to provide quality care to animals while maintaining a trusting relationship with clients!
“Georgia was amazing! She gave regular updates and cute photos of the cats. One of my cats had diarrhea, but Georgia kept thorough updates on how she was doing. Already booked for another visit!”
“Ellen was very responsive, and agreed to check in on our kitties even without much advance knowledge for a holiday weekend. She made a separate trip to run through where the litter boxes and water bowls and treats were so that she was prepared when she was stopping by. We really appreciated her thoroughness!”

Lisa was wonderful with our elderly cat! She was always punctual, dependable, and incredibly gentle and attentive. Knowing she was caring for our cat gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We’re truly grateful for her thoughtful care and would wholeheartedly recommend Lisa to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!
Brianna was right on time everyday and every evening to make sure Lucy was fed and walked and lived even though the weather was extremely hot all week. I loved the wonderful pictures she sent and the ongoing communication she gave me reassured me that Lucy was in great hands! Nancy
Sarah once again took great care of our fur-baby Smokey! He is an aging cat with special diet and supplement needs. Sarah is great with him and we can have a great vacation without worrying about him! She even did a couple dishes I left in the sink as we were running out of the house! We will definitely rebook with her again.
Jo Yi did a fantastic job with my cat Pesto! She was very communicative and shared updates and pictures of my cat during her visits. She followed the care instructions I left for her and my cat loved spending time with Jo Yi. Grateful to have a reliable sitter to watch her while I was away - thank you!
Alaina and Devon took amazing care of our two chihuahuas. Their timely communication, ability to follow our care instructions, including administering medications, and their willingness to accommodate the last minute changes to our travel schedule was so appreciated. We felt completely comfortable leaving my dogs in their care and will be using them again next time we travel. Thanks Alaina and Devon!!

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.
