“Renee really cares about animals and was super sweet to our very needy and sometimes difficult dog. She helped us out so we could enjoy our wedding night :) Thank you so much Renee!!”
“Looked after our girl great. Stacey was communicative and responsive. Even made sure, per instructions, that our kitty got just a little bit of ice cream. Stacey was great.”
“Jillian was a great communicator giving me all the info about my cats while I was away. It made me feel that they were in the best care possible. Would book with her again and would highly recommend her to others!”
“Lyndsay provided 2 drop in visits for our dog. She was great! She gave us timely updates, and we knew he was in great hands with her while we were out of state for the day. Would highly recommend her and we will continue to request her when needed.”
“I rebooked Danelle for a dog drop-in and cat med and she ended up doing an extra med for the cat who developed an infection leading up to the visit. Always clear communication and reliable. Thanks again!”
About: I grew up with a multitude of dogs ranging from chiuauha mix to English mastiff - we never had less than 2 at a time. Now as an adult I have a beautiful Golden who I trained myself (potty, crate, clicker, leash,play), and I couldn't be more happy! Daisy was in daycare in the beginning since I was still working in office so she's been around a lot of dogs ranging in size. We've also added a maltipoo named Frankie to the house. Crate trained and she likes to sit, but boy is she stubborn. She's well mannered though and for those rare instances she's not, she's significantly easier to just pick up compared to Daisy. As for cats, I grew up with a lot but the most at once was 3 which including my gorgeous Bella. She's a senior now but still has a bunch of energy for when she wants to play. She's a good mix of put you in your place and just wants to be loved, I definitely lucked out with her attitude/personality. We have some toys and all the furniture is approved by her so your lil feline will never be in want of a bed or playtime. I walk the girls about 2 miles a day with lots of playtime in the house. Depending on what you need I could add yours to our walk or play, or I don't have a job at the moment so I'm free for the remaining time. For house sitting I’ll follow whatever instructions you leave. I’ll make sure you fur baby gets all the love and attention to make up for you not being there. Lots of love, treats, and positive reinforcement. If at my home there will be lots of pets, play, and attention. If any dogs get overwhelmed then there are many doors to separate if needed, as well as my dogs have crates.
“Julia was great at caring for our pups. She did an hour long drop in and made sure they had some time outside and our pup was not in his kennel while my wife was working. Thank you for taking care of them and helping us out.”
About: Hi! I’m Katie, a lifelong animal lover offering dog walks, drop-in visits, pet check-ins and house sitting for all kinds of animals. I understand how important it is to know your pets are safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. Whether your pet needs a walk, playtime, potty break, feeding, medication, or just some extra attention and companionship, I’m happy to help. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, and other household pets, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. I pride myself on being reliable, communicative, and attentive to each pet’s unique needs. I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or feathered!) family members! As a pet owner myself, I know how much trust it takes to leave your animals in someone else’s care. I have a dog and two cats of my own, so I understand the importance of routine, patience, and lots of love. 🐾 My schedule is very flexible, with availability for pet care most days. I work independently doing sewing and alterations, which allows me to prioritize pet care and accommodate your pet’s individual routine and needs. In my home, pets are treated like family. I ensure they’re safe, supervised, and comfortable, with plenty of love, play, and outdoor time. I respect routines and follow all care instructions closely.
“Casey was fantastic with Salty. She made sure all of this needs were met and provided detailed updates after every visit. We were able to enjoy our vacation knowing that our dog was in such good hands.”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs since I was born. During high school I used to dog sit for many family friends. Typically overnights and occasional drop ins. A couple years ago I moved out of my parents house and have been dog sitting for my friends now that they have their own pets, as well as my family who recently adopted a new kitten (If you have cats that need care) I am very adaptable and responsible, I’ve cared for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs. I love them all! I have also pet sat for animals who have special diets, that require me to prep dinner instead of the typical scoop of kibble. I’m currently working full time at a local university but am out by 3:30pm every day. If you work late this is perfect to let your dog out for a walk and feed them. I am totally fine with working late I am very adaptable and understanding of diets and energy levels of different dogs. I am a very energetic person so if your puppy needs play, I can provide. If your senior dog needs company, I can provide. If your dog needs whole meals prepped I am also experienced in that. I can care for your pet in any way you need
About: My super strength as a pet caregiver, is my interest in getting to know an animal's personality and working mindfully and respectfully with their nature. I prioritize safety, trust and attention. I've taught young children and raised kittens, puppies and chickens over the last twenty years. As a lover of Great Pyrenees (having raised three) and cats, I have great respect for the subtle and obvious efforts our animals use to communicate with us. I'm experienced with all ages. Senior pets are very dear to me. I've had the honor to provide comforting care for my own animals and provide tender touch, medications, dietary support, and a calm presence through their final months. I also love training and nurturing puppies. I am available to provide individualized day and overnight care for your pet(s) and plants. Contact me to discuss your short-term or longterm needs. I am especially interested in helping people feel at ease during holidays and vacations by providing qualified, experienced multi-day pet care. Mindfulness, kindness, and experience guide my services. I'm happy to travel to care for pets in the comfort of their home or mine! My place was designed for Great Pyrenees. I have a large, protective deck and fenced yard for supervised off-leash, outdoor time.
“Avital was a great, reliable, and communicative sitter! They did drop in visits 3 times a day for my dog and rabbit, and I was always assured they were being cared for. Both animals warmed up to Avital very quickly and were completely comfortable with them coming into the house after we left.”
About: I am currently in school getting my masters in Human Animal Interactions (psychology). I have a beautiful cat named Lila now and two guinea pigs. I have a lot of experience with pets and love animals. I have pet sat for friends and family. I have been around animals for as long as I can remember. I do enjoy taking photos, so I will send lots of pictures of your fury friend while you’re away. I am currently working in the school district as an Ed tech and my schedule is 8:30am - 3:30pm. I can fit pet care around my work schedule as I don’t work long shifts. I am also completely free on the weekends. I will make sure the pet eats and goes out before I leave for work and will go straight back to them and let them back out when I’m done. I will make sure to watch the animal as if it's my own. I know how important your pet is to you. I will follow any rules given to me regarding your pet. I will also make sure to clean up any messes the pet makes and leave the space as clean as I got there.
“Carmen is the best! I love the photos she takes of Meatball when she’s checking in on him so I don’t have to worry about him when I’m away. I think he likes her more than me 🙂”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - West Scarborough
Rachael did a great job on a drop in visit, while I was away for the day. Both my dogs loved her, and she did a nice job with my elderly rescue Benny. Benny requires medication for anxiety, and she followed through the instructions I left and administered his meds. I came home to happy puppies! Rachael communicates well, asks great questions and generally is a loving, sweet dog person. I will definitely use her again and 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 .
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.
