“I highly recommend Wendy. She was punctual, dependable, and very easy to communicate with, always addressing any concerns or questions promptly. Her caring attitude was evident in how she interacted with my dogs, and she even offered helpful suggestions. I truly appreciated the thorough check-ins and the many photos, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. On top of that, she went above and beyond by helping feed our two stray cats as well. It’s clear she genuinely care for animals, and I will definitely be using their services again!”
About: I've been a dog and cat owner since I was a child. I started taking care of my friend's dogs about 5 years ago. I would stay the night as well as visit them to let them outside. She recently got a great dane puppy that I check in on to let out and watched him for a few hours while he was being trained. I also have helped my partner's dogs, one of which is very anxious, while their family was out of town. I watched them, played with them, cuddled, and fed them. I am in community college right now, so my availability is most open on the weekends, Friday-Sunday. However, I also have afternoon availability for walks, check ins, potty breaks, and play dates during the week! I love to play with small to big dogs and cats, and I can watch them if they need to be let out. I also follow feeding instructions very specifically and dutifully. I have experience crating big dogs that are already crate trained, and I have been learning in my free time how to place train my own dogs, so I can assist in that training if needed given instruction.
“Iliana was absolutely amazing! This was the first time leaving my cat over night and I couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter! You can tell how much she loves animals. Iliana also took some of the best photos I’ve ever seen of my cat during her visits. I definitely recommend her to watch your furry family members!!”
“This was my first time using Rover - or any pet sitter and I was a little nervous to be honest. Cindia was very professional, reliable and communicative. She made sure to set up a meeting before we booked her, she asked questions to make sure we were on the same page and was even able to pet and bond with my two very shy cats! She made the entire process run smoothly and we would absolutely book her again. Cindia you did a great job, thank you!”
“Holly is the Best. I’ve used her many times. She shows up on time, friendly with great communication and caring. Not everyone takes Rottweiler’s due to assumptions. Holly has shown nothing but love and care for our Baby. My Honey loves her and I will use her in the future whenever I go out of town.”
About: I had a chihuahua for 11 years and have been around pets for my whole life. Always willing to learn and grow with new experiences. Becoming a full-time college student soon but I will make time for your amazing pets! I will communicate with you if there are any schedule conflicts to address. I have a big fenced yard and plenty of room for your pet to roam and play. I do not have any other pets so that shouldn’t be a problem.
“Amazing! First time using Rover and couldn’t have had a better experience. They were prompt, courteous, and kept me up to date the entire time! Highly recommend them and will definitely hire them again!”
“I couldn’t be happier with how the drop in visit went! Paulo was fantastic from start to finish. They arrived right on time and made sure my dog was comfortable, fed, and had plenty of attention and love. I received detailed updates and adorable photos, which gave me total peace of mind while I was away. It’s clear they genuinely care about animals and treat them like their own. My dog looked so happy and relaxed when I got home, which says it all. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Annur is great! My dog is very timid with new people and can be a handful for anyone who isn't familiar with her quirks. Annur was a natural in gaining her trust quickly, which is not common. She is punctual, communicative, reliable, and patient. We will certainly seek her services again!”
“Eleanor did an amazing job with my dog, Bruno! We were out of town for 5 days and she went above and beyond for us. Our main need was dog walks but also we asked for her to help water the plants, feed our dog and make sure he has water and put our trash bins on the curb on trash day. She was amazing and so helpful with eve we asked. 100% recommend her! Thank you, Eleanor!!”
“Stacey did an amazing job with my two little dogs! I was out of town for almost two weeks, and I arranged for Stacy to come into my home three times a day to care for my two small dogs. One of my dogs is an older dog that I adopted only a few months ago. He has some behavior issues, but Stacey was very kind and gentle with him. She went above and beyond what I asked her to do in terms of caring for the dogs. When I was away from home, it was such a relief to receive her reports and pictures of the dogs three times a day. When I returned home, the dogs and my home were in great shape. I could tell that my dogs had been well cared for by Stacey, and I truly appreciate all that she did for my dogs while I was away. Stacey is professional and dependable, and she really understands dogs! I highly recommend Stacey, and I know I will be requesting her help again in the future.”
“We were nervous hiring someone for the first time and Tina’s profile stood out. We met her in person before the services and she seemed like a wonderful person. She watched our cat for 2 days and we got so many pictures and videos. Our boy liked her from the moment he met her during meet and greet and I think she liked him too. Wonderful service and we highly recommend her. We are happy to have found someone that we can use again to watch our pets. Thank you Tina”
About: Apart from raising my cat and I’ve also helped care for my friends’ and cousin’s, pets, including both cats and dogs. I’m great at communicating and giving updates to owners, and I will always ask a lot of questions for additional information needed for me to properly care for your pets. I currently have a lot of time on my hands so I will have plenty of time to play and take care of your fuzzy friends! Note that sometimes my mom may also help me watch your dogs or cats. She’s a especially a huge dog person, and used to be a dog owner herself. She’ll be awesome at entertaining your puppers! :) I do have a fenced backyard, however some boards of the fences have been blown down and not fixed. Though, I would be happy to watch dogs in the backyard with a leash to ensure they won’t run off through the fence. If you’d like to drop your dog off for me to care for at my house, bringing their leash would be greatly appreciated! If I am petsitting at your house, I will follow all directions given by you, and will ask about instructions from you. If you have a routine with your pets, please let me know in advance as well!
About: I’ve taken care dogs and cats since I was about 10, I’ve had beautiful experience with my own pets and helping sitter for relatives and friends pets as well. I currently have open flexible availability daily, I can adjust to your pet’s needed schedule as needed. I can give your pet the love and support needed daily. I have a fenced in backyard and live in safe neighborhood perfect for neighborhood walks. I also I have plenty of space in my home for crates if needed for your pet to sleep in.
About: Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them comes naturally to me. Since I was 10 years old, I’ve helped care for dogs, cats, fish, and other beloved pets — learning that every animal has their own personality, needs, and way of communicating. Friends and family trust me to walk, feed, bathe, play with, and lovingly care for their pets while they’re away. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, happy, active, and genuinely loved in my care. I’m reliable, attentive, calm under pressure, and treat every pet like family. As a gentle added touch, I’m also experienced in animal reiki, which I’m happy to incorporate during visits if welcomed by both pet and owner to help encourage relaxation and comfort. Whether your pet loves playtime, quiet companionship, or extra patience and reassurance, I’ll meet them where they are with love, warmth and care. I currently work part-time. I have plenty of time to play with your fur babies. I am available most days and weekends, including most holidays. I have a fenced dog-friendly where your dog can roam and play. I have a beautiful lawn and a beautiful tree lined neighborhood for long walks.
About: Your dog will stay on our private ranch with plenty of room to play, explore, and relax in a safe, supervised environment. Whether your dog is high-energy or prefers a slower pace, I tailor their care to fit their individual needs. I treat every dog like one of my own and strive to provide a safe, enriching, and stress free stay so you can have peace of mind while you're away. I'm experienced with dogs of all ages, from young puppies to seniors. Having raised multiple litters, I'm comfortable with puppy routines, potty training, and socialization, while also understanding the patience and attention senior dogs need, including medication administration and mobility support. I am not taking on reactive/aggressive dogs at this time unless they can be kenneled outside of the home. Reach out to discuss. Full time dog boarder and trainer working from home. I provide 24/7 care as if your dog was one of my own. Pickup and drop off hours in morning or evening. Very limited afternoon pickup/drop off availability. 5 acres fully fenced in along with smaller fenced in play yards. Home is air conditioned. Dogs can either exercise on the full property if recall trained or in one of the smaller, 6ft tall play yard areas if they need a smaller enclosed area.
“Ayashe was amazing! Very attentive to the fur children and even managed to win over Gizmo who usually takes several sessions before warming up to new people. Thank you so much Ayashe!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Hartley
Dana was attentive, gentle, and genuinely connected with my kittens from the very beginning. She sent thoughtful updates and sweet photos every day, which made it easy to relax knowing my cats were comfortable and cared for. My female cat can be shy with new people, but she warmed up quickly thanks to the sitter’s patience and calm energy. I truly appreciate the compassion and reliability she brought to the job. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter who treats your pet like family.
Wendy & Daniela are wonderful! They are both so kind, professional, and reliable. They asked great questions in advance, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Buddy in their care. I didn’t have to worry at all, they didn’t miss a beat! They sent pictures and updates and made sure Buddy had everything he needed. I would absolutely recommend them and will definitely use them again! ❤️
Absolutely amazing!! She did everything that was asked of her, including handling my baby’s post-surgery care with so much attention and compassion. Being away at a wedding, we felt completely comfortable knowing our babies were in such great hands. She kept us updated throughout each visit, sent lots of pictures, and gave us so much peace of mind. We’re incredibly grateful and would absolutely trust her with our pups 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.
