“Emily did a great job taking care of our two cats when we were away. She was easy to communicate with and sent daily updates with pictures. We will definitely use her again in the near future!”
“Allison is fantastic! She provided so many photos and updates for every visit. My kitties were well taken care of. Recommend using Allison for in house visits for any pet. She is so sweet and genuinely cares for animals.”
“Thanks again Hieu and Anna for being so attentive to our pup! Prior to the drop-in, our dog had a stressful experience in the morning that put her on edge for the rest of the day--Hieu and Anna were so great about making sure she felt safe and comfortable. We're so glad to keep working with her new fave aunties!”
“Michelle is so patient with our dog… and me, as a first time Rover user. Our dog has anxiety and is very active. Michelle has worked with her to build trust and comfort. She’s also great with communicating through the app.”
“Dana is fabulous and my baby SweetPea loved her time with her. The pictures Dana took of her were just amazing and I'm so happy I picked her to take care of my baby. I look forward to Dana taking care of my SweetPea weekly going forward :) I couldn't be happier and feel at ease knowing my baby girl is being so well taken care of by the awesome Dana!!”
“We were impressed with how thorough and detailed David was during the meet and greet, and this carried over when we were away and to the attention he gave to our 2 large pups for a week. Once all of his questions were answered, it is clear he provided excellent care and carried out all instructions to the tee. He sent updates 3x a time with pictures so we knew they were doing well - exactly what you want for your fur babies and so you can enjoy your vacay without that worry. We would absolutely book David again!”
“Steve is absolutely incredible! He is extremely reliable, and a true dog lover with enough alpha and charisma in him to obtain my dogs' attention and obedience in a loving, respectful, tender way. Steve knows what the word service means and his dedication really impressed me and my family and friends when I shared the videos he made during his daily visits.”
About: I’ve been around cats and dogs ever since I was born and currently own 2 cats. I started pet sitting when I was 12 and have experience with both drop-in visits and boarding. I also work part time at an animal shelter. I currently work from home, so I would love to spend time with your pets during breaks or in the evenings! Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays I work part time at an animal rescue, but otherwise I am pretty flexible. I have handled many different types of animals and know to educate myself ahead of time. I will always do the best I can to guarantee the safety of your pets whether it be at home, on a walk, or anywhere else. I prioritize communication, so if there is anything I need to know about your pet(s), please tell me.
“10 stars if I could!!! Thank you so much for all your help! At the drop of a dime came and helped out super last minute for a situation! Thank you again, 10/10 support and derive for my cats! Literally saved my cats life! Thank you”
“This is the second time Trent watched my old dog and my wife's two cats. Trent is easy to work with on scheduling and has earned my trust. My dog is older, needs some meds, and is a little slow on the walk so trust is important. We unintentionally threw a curve ball at him this time. When making a new key I decided to go with a dog shaped key. It worked, but not well, and came apart inside the lock when Trent tried to use it. He contacted me and exhibited patience as I walked him through how to break into my home. BTW, we upgraded to a lock with a keypad and the ability to unlock remotely.”
About: I've been pet-sitting for different families for the past three years, and I also have experience caring for animals on a farm. I love being around animals and making sure they're happy, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine, and I'm happy to work around each pet's needs. I make time for feeding, playtime, walks, and giving pets attention and care while their owners are away. I'm responsible, flexible, and enjoy making sure every pet feels comfortable and safe. I make sure every pet gets the care and attention they need, whether that means feeding them, playing with them, going on walks, or just spending time with them. I try to stick to their normal routine, so they feel comfortable while their owners are away. I also make sure to follow any instructions the owners leave me and keep their space clean and safe.
About: I have cared for animals in various settings for many years. I have handled many medical issues, giving medications as injections, orally, topically. I love all the furbabies, but don't have any of my own at the moment so it's really nice for me to get some animal time. I also currently have a very flexible day and evening schedule, so I can be available for a variety of needs. I currently work part-time and care for family, so my schedule is highly variable and it's easy to fit in visits for feeding and playtime pretty much any day of the week. I also don't plan to have any travel or major commitments over the winter holidays, so I'm able to holiday cat visits and even overnights throughout December/January. I take your beloved pets' safety and comfort very seriously, I would never want any thing to happen to them on my watch. I will confirm that I have all of the important information I need when entering your home, and will fully document everything that takes place when I am there so you can have peace of mind that your fur baby is safe and happy while you are gone.
About: I’ve had the joy of owning an American Akita, a Pitbull mix, and a Husky, so I’m familiar with different breeds and their unique personalities. I know how important it is for your dog to feel safe, happy, and cared for, and I do my best to make sure they’re comfortable while you’re away. I currently work from home mon-fri from 8:30-5:30 but I will have plenty of time throughout the day to love and care for your dogs. I have a fenced backyard and a dog park in the neighborhood to keep the dogs entertained. I also have the luxury of being able to work wherever so I’m able to care for dogs in my clients home as well.
“Very good with both dogs, took walks with them. Both seemed very happy when I got home the days she was here. She worked well with all their little quirks and went above and beyond to clean up accidents my elderly dog had which is truly appreciated.”
“We had a great experience with Kimberly! Communication was simple and easy & she was flexible with last minute schedule changes. My pups were happy and well cared for when we got home. We’ll definitely book again!”
“Jackie is awesome! She is extremely caring and was very responsive. Our dog is very shy and anxious, but Jackie instantly earned her trust. 10/10 would recommend Jackie!”

Fabiana was fantastic! She was able to help me out on short notice and made the entire process incredibly easy. She communicated well, followed my instructions, and took great care of Bandit despite it being their first time meeting. She even took him on a walk, got some playtime in, and sent pictures and updates afterward. I really appreciated her flexibility and attention to detail. I’ll definitely be booking with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!
Amelia is awesome!!!! Was our first time trying this service and she instantly put us at ease. Kind, caring, and obviously passionate about taking good care of our furry family members. When she stopped by for a meet & greet, they (my 2 enthusiastic big dogs and one nonchalant cat) immediately sensed she was there to engage and play with them and I knew all would be well, and it was!! Already planning her next visit, she’s at the top of our list. (“We love you Amelia!!” - your new best buddies, Kiara, Dakota, and Hunter)
Rachel was the best! She is competent and communicative. It was easy to go out of town because she loved on my dog and sent wonderful photos and fun stories about their adventures! Both my boys are older (13 and almost 15) and one has 3 legs. She was great at keeping my reactive big dog calm and he loved all her cuddles and treats and trips outside! She comforted my small tripod through the thunderstorm and he greatly appreciated her lifting him up onto the couch for snuggles and her carrying him home when he got tired after she let him explore and sniff out all his fave places. Thanks and the boys say woof!
Michelle is absolutely fantastic and took such good care of our boy! She made sure to give him a lot of attention, playtime, and pets. We just moved and our dog is still adjusting, she was very attentive to this fact and definitely helped him have an easy day. Her narratives are so great and really paint the picture of her time with our boy. We would highly recommend Michelle!
Rydia watched our older cat Dave for a week while we were out of town. We don't leave her very often because she's older and so it was very nice to have her come in take pictures of him and keep us updated as to how Dave is doing and it just gave us peace of mind that we knew our cat was being well taken care of while we were gone
Kerry took such great care of our little girl while we were away. She’s very patient with shy kitties, but was able to work her magic and get our girl out. I appreciate her communication and willingness to help bring in packages. Kerry really went above and beyond to help us out when a large delivery arrived ahead of schedule. We will absolutely book Kerry again!

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.
