“Yaqin was great with Fafa! It was too hot outside for a regular walk, so she adjusted the visit and found other ways to keep Fafa active and entertained.

Would definitely book with her again!”

Ariane was really great to work with! Our normal pet watcher had something come up and we were trying to find a new watcher on short notice for a 2 week trip. Ariane was very friendly, and it is clear our dogs really liked her. She was also flexible with me asking to add on our cats when things came up like our autofeeder stopped working. We would absolutely recommend Ariane to anyone looking for someone to take care of their pets and we will certainly be asking her to do so again in the future when need arises!
Catrina was wonderful during the drop in visit for our mini dachshund! She was very respectful and paid attention to details during our meet and greet, and sent update & pictures after the visit to let us know how everything went. We felt very comfortable trusting Catrina to watch our pet. Definitely recommend!
I’m so happy Anne was available last minute to walk my Beatrice. Even though she hasn’t seen her for a while, I knew that I had nothing to worry about and she would be so excited to Anne take care of her! I know it was really hot out, but Anne still took her on a really nice walk which I really appreciated (I have a feeling she had to really convince Bea to go on a longer walk😅). I got the cutest pictures and you can tell how happy she was!
It was a pleasure to have Nicholas take care of our dog, Axle. During our leave, he visited Axle at home, played with him and walked him daily. Nicholas is very professional and respectful. We definitely recommend him and look forward to having him watch Axle again in the future.

On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs.

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in West Windsor choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.
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 .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
