“Cathy is the best! She took such great care of my pets during her drop in visits and was so helpful when flights got delayed. She always made sure our pets were well taken care of and well loved. Will definitely be using her again!”
About: I am the owner of a 6 year old Belgian Malinois and an almost 11 year old minature Daushund. Being the owner of a Belgian, I have been opened to a whole new world of dogs. I love to take them for walks, teach them, and find a confidence with dogs. I love cats as well. Senior pets are the best. They need gentle care at times, a bit more patience and a little more time from point A to point B. I am new to being a dog walker/ cat care giver, but my love of animals will shine through. I have taken care of my sisters cats, dogs, bunnies for over 20 years. Just getting started publically, but I will love you pet as if you are still at home! I do not have a fixed work schedule at this time to limit visitations. I am available for most times during the morning or afternoon. I will be glad to clean the litter box as needed and accidents made by the doggos, provide food and fresh water and other reasonable requests pertaining to your cats and dogs. And of course take your fur friends out for walks when needed. At this time, owning a Belgian Malinois, I do not offer home services to be provided in my home.
“Alea was such a sweet young lady She gave my kitty lotsa love & his favorite treats. She gave me updated every day so my mind was on my vacation & not worrying about my baby at home. I would highly recommend her & I will absolutely request her for any future pet sitting I may need.”
About: Growing up, my family always had at least two dogs at all times. Although I don’t have a dog of my own, I love taking care of and spending time with other people’s dogs. 🩷 I am a teacher by day (Aug-end of May) and dog sitter on the side! I love kids but dogs truly have my heart. The bigger, the better! I am a teacher, so I will be gone from 6:30am-3:30pm. I have watched dogs while I’ve been at school who are used to be alone for an extended amount of time but but I will walk them prior to leaving for work and then spend the evening with them once I get home. :) ***If your dog isn’t used to being alone while I would be at work, I do have someone who can check on your pet and also take them out midday while I’m at work! :) Although I do not have a fenced in yard, my neighborhood community has a fenced in dog park area to give your dog(s) the space and freedom to roam as needed. :)
“This was my first time using Rover and I hit the jackpot with Emily. She did a great job and was so kind about my older cat's issues. All three boys were very well cared for and I loved the daily photo drops!”
“I can always count on Virginia when it comes to helping out and taking care of Nexus! The pictures and videos I received while I was away made my heart feel so much better. Nexus loves spending time with Virginia and I know she is in great hands! Definitely will rebook when needed!! 10/10!!”
“Laycie did a great job taking care of the outdoor cats, including extra food for a new momma. She also watered plants (we're in a hot, dry spell), which I'm grateful for. Will definitely book her again!”
About: My home is a dog-friendly, warm and inviting place where your special family member will be loved and cared for. I was a dog owner (lab rescues) for the last 12 years, but sadly my last guy recently crossed the rainbow bridge. I have a lot of love just waiting to be shared! I work from home so our time and availability is flexible! I love to take frequent walk and play breaks. And I am always up for some cuddle time! My yard is shady for dogs of all sizes. The neighborhood is pet friendly with lots of walking. I previously managed a pet sitting business within our Virginia neighborhood and can provide references.
“I highly recommend Meghan for all things pet sitting. She is prompt with responses and gave our boy the best care I could ask for while we were out of town for a week. I received daily updates and photos, and I could tell our dog was very happy with her! I also had to schedule a last minute request and luckily she was available and got back to me immediately, so she saved the day!”
About: I’ve grown up with pets ever since i was born! I currently have two cats and one dog that i love so deeply! I can take dogs out for walks or play with them outside and entertain the cats or simply just stay with them while they relax. I’m currently in Anderson for college and would love to take care of your animal! I have availability throughout the weekdays and selective availability on the weekends! My pets at my house are cared for so deeply and I promise to care for yours just the same! I would ensure safety all the time when walking or watching your animal(s).
“It was such a pleasure meeting Stacie, and getting to know her a little, along with hearing about her own love of animals! I so appreciated the photos she sent since my two cats are new to each other and she was totally thorough in caring for them!”
About: I’ve loved and cared for animals my whole life. Growing up, I regularly pet-sat for neighbors and members of my community, providing responsible and affectionate care. Additionally, as a dedicated volunteer for Oconee Humane Society, I gained hands-on experience with pets of all temperaments, ensuring their comfort and well-being. My passion, reliability, and experience make me a trustworthy pet sitter who will guarantee that every pet in my care feels safe, loved, and well cared for while their owners are away. I am currently a college student at Clemson University so my availability depends on the flexibility of my class schedule during weekdays. Conversely, on weekends I have greater availability. I prioritize safety and trust in every aspect of my pet sitting service. With years of experience caring for animals—including working at the Humane Society and raising my own four cats and my 1 dog—I understand the importance of creating a secure, comfortable environment. I follow strict safety protocols and maintain open communication with pet owners to ensure peace of mind. Your pet’s wellbeing is my top priority, and I am committed to providing loving, reliable care every time.
About: I’ve been around all different kinds of animals my whole life! I’ve been taking care of my close friends and families animals for as long as I can remember! This includes experience in house sitting and caring for the animals needs! Animals can’t speak to us verbally so it is important to pay attention to their needs and wants. I take animals seriously and treat all of them how I do mine! I am a server at a restaurant and have a very flexible schedule! My shifts are typically at night and last about 5 hours! I typically have my days open! My personal pets are very spoiled! I have two dogs and I take them on walks, to the park, on the boat, etc. I snuggle them any minute I can! They are my main priority- I treat their needs as I do my own. This also transfers over to my clients pets! Like I’ve previously stated, I treat all animals as I do my own!

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.
