“Thank you Wendy for taking such a great care of our cat. It looks that he bonded with you from the first sight and loved spending timw with you a lot. I am so greatfull for you for putting our worries at ease.”
“Brian was amazing as always and did a great job taking care of Cooper. Cooper was alone at home and feeling sad without his little sister, who was also out of town. However, he immediately lit up and was very happy to see Brian each day and even played with him in the backyard. The absolute best pet sitter in town; I basically plan all my travel around Brian’s schedule. Thanks Brian!”

“Fen was fabulous with my cats. Then came out to greet her when normally they would hide. She took good care of all of them (indoor & outdoor) and sent me photos every day. She was punctual too. My previous sitters showed up when they wanted. Fen was ther st the same time each day. My sick kitty made a mess but most people miss that. Otherwise I'd was outstanding service.”
“Dominique was amazing with my four cats! She was very attentive and communicative. As a cat mom herself, she was able to pick up on my cats' personalities quickly which was very reassuring, I would definitely recommend her 😻🤗”
“Jennifer was great. She took care of our cat Callie while we were out of town for a few days. She did her best to make friends with her so she would feel loved while we were away. She goes above and beyond for you, took care of our mail, packages cleanup of the cat dishes and treats! Sent us pictures every day so we knew she was ok. Will use her again for sure!”
“This is the third time we booked with Alexandra. Our kitty feels comfortable with her and well cared. She send us lot of pictures while we are away. Alexandra is flexible to accommodate our needs. We hope we can hire her in any other future cat sitting needs.”
“Ava went above any expectations I had while caring for my two pomskys one being a baby that is potty training and learning that biting isn’t nice. She picked up and cleaned that I hadn’t even asked of her.”
“Leslie did an amazing job. Our pets - 2 dogs and a cat - were well cared for & happy. The check-ins were something I didn't realize I needed in my life. The updates & the pictures gave us such peace of mind while we were away. Definitely recommend Leslie as a caring, responsible sitter.”
“Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)”
About: I’ve spent the last 18 years as a trusted Realtor in Brevard County, which means I’ve already met (and usually become friends with) a lot of the local cats and dogs. My clients trusted me with access to their homes, and I took that responsibility seriously every single time. I’ve also been a lifelong pet owner. From tiny Yorkies to Labs, retrievers, and plenty of cats with big personalities, caring for animals has always been one of my favorite parts of life. I spent my teens and early 20s volunteering with rescue cat and dog rescue groups in South Florida Confession: as a Realtor, I looked forward to seeing my clients’ pets more than the actual appointment. Don’t tell the humans. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, cuddles, or just someone reliable to keep them company, I’ll treat them like they’re my own. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and make sure your furry family member has a great time while you’re away. I’m currently working part-time in real estate so I have plenty of time to care for and play with your pets. Whether it’s a drop in for your cat, or multiple daily walks with your labrador, your pets care is my top priority. After 18 years in real estate, I know that trust is everything—especially when someone is caring for your home and your beloved pets. I’m responsible, respectful, and a little obsessed with making sure every pet feels safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away.
“Cindy was so amazing with my dog and my cat! Absolutely above and beyond, My dog had an accident right before she was scheduled to sit for me and was extremely accommodating with giving him his medication. Will 100% consider again for future trips!”
“Stacy was an amazing pet sitter and I could not be happier that I found her! She gave me plenty of updates on my two kitties and provided tons of photos. She even brought them treats! I know the cats absolutely loved having her drop in on them and I’ll certainly be using her for my next trip out of town! Thank you Stacy- 10/10!!!”
“Michelle is amazing! She took multiple photos of my kitty that assured me that he was in her good care, she took care of my place thoughtfully, and she communicated with me beautifully. It was so nice to be able to leave home knowing that everything would be in good hands. She went above and beyond!”
About: I love pet sitting, it's my favorite full time job for this stage. The pets give me joy and purpose. I'm kind, dependable, and a ethical person. I'm transitioning into pet sitting full time, so let me know when you need my service and where. I'm a national pet sitter. I'm 5 star rated. I currently successfully care for pets nationally at client's homes only. I follow my client's detailed instructions and communicate as often as needed for updates.
“Rody was a perfect match for us. She is responsive and caring to our spoiled Yorkie. Rody was reassuring and communicative with us. This is our first time visiting the to Palm Bay area and finding Rody was a blessing. I highly recommend her.”
About: I’ve been around dogs for almost my entire life. I’ve personally owned three dogs, and even more if you include the puppies my dogs have had, which I was heavily involved in caring for. My family are big dog lovers, so I’ve been dog-sitting for as long as I can remember, whether it’s for my grandparents’ dogs or other family members. My experience includes walking, feeding, playing with, and simply keeping an eye on dogs to make sure they’re happy, safe, and well cared for. I'm a part-time photographer + photo editor and the worship leader at my church. So I'm often given plenty of down time that I can shift happily to taking care of dogs. I treat every dog in my care as if they were my own. I will prioritize following all instructions given by the dog's owner thoroughly while providing sufficient supervision for the dog and care. I'll be sure to keep the house kept clean and the dog not only safe but also happy.
“Zarah is amazing with my 65 lb American Bully! She is always on time, available with my last minute schedule, and most importantly amazing with my pup! I am a crazy dog mom so I have extremely high standards. I always trust her looking after him and know he’s in great hands! Highly recommend!”

Sophia was great on our first visit. She was communicative,responsive and sent cute photos of my dog. Leo is shy, but he really seemed to trust Sophia right away during our meet and greet. I could tell by the photos from her first visit and walk that he was really comfortable, and that gave me such piece of mind. IYKYK:). Looking forward to booking her again, and I know Leo will be happy to see her too. Thank you!
I am so thankful to have found Amber. We usually try to take our dog with us when we travel. This wasn't an option so we wanted our girl to feel some sense of normal while we were gone. Amber was wonderful and gave us peace of mind especially with a Tornado warning. We will definitely hire her again.
Molly is a gem! This was my first experience with Rover and I was a little tentative about leaving my cat Wally while I was traveling. Molly was so warm and caring, super communicative, and took great care of Wally. She helped with some more involved older-cat care and helped me coordinate with our vet while I was out of town. Would absolutely book her again next time I'm traveling. Thank you so much, Molly!
Kyle did an amazing dog with both my dogs and cat! I can tell he is a huge animal lover and he spent quality time with all my pets and I could see how much they enjoyed his company. Although I have a pet cam I appreciate that he went above and beyond with sending me multiple videos of my pets. He has earned my trust that he will not just check in but also give my animals love while I am gone :)
Nicole was so sweet when she came to meet Ozzy. She sent me pictures every time she went over there and it looked like my baby loved her. All I asked was that she fed him and she went above that and scooped his litter box and played with him for a little bit. Definitely recommend!

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 .

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.
