“Cynthia has been by far the best cat sitter we have hired. We were out of town for over 2 weeks and were anxious about what to do about our 3 cats. With our previous sitter, behavioral issues occurred and our cats decided to poop all over the house, plus they seemed visibly upset upon our return. Cynthia provided updates and photos during each visit and gave them lots of attention. They were happy when we returned and showed no signs of stress. Cynthia also did a great job with cleaning our multiple litter boxes and bringing the mail in. She went beyond our expectations!!”
“Kayla was very kind and communicative throughout the entire process. Thanks to her we were able to come back to a neat home and our cats seemed very well taken care of in our absence. Would highly recommend her if you're on the lookout for a sitter.”
“Shelby was great! She was available last minute to stop by to feed our cat, and was very professional and had great communication! Highly recommend and will be using her in the future.”
“Janini was fantastic!! She did a daily visit/walk. She showed up when she said she would and was in great communication for the 5 days she took care of my dog. I would highly recommend her!!”
“Marisa's drop in was fine. Vincent took to her immediately and Jules, was his usual "What type of human are you and do I want to be associated with you?" He came around a bit, but with him it takes more than one short visit.”
About: My family has had dogs since I was born and we fostered dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I have helped out several family friends by pet sitting and walking their dogs. I’ve had some experience pet sitting cats as well. I believe all animals are special and deserve to be treated with love. At the moment I’m working part time with scattered hours so I’m able to fit in time caring for and playing with your pets I can adapt to any routines and rules that are needed to care for your pet the way you do. I am also physically active and give your pet the kind of exercise they need.
“Margot did a great job! She followed all the instructions, she provided photo updates, and gave our dog lots of attention. She was professional and personable. Ranger loved her and we were at ease knowing our boy was safe and cared for. We appreciated her care and I would recommend her.”
About: With 17 years of experience in veterinary medicine and professional pet care, I bring a unique combination of medical knowledge, animal-handling experience, and genuine compassion to every pet I care for. My experience caring for animals has taken me across the country and overseas, giving me the opportunity to work with many animals, pets, and families. I spent 10 years working in emergency veterinary medicine, so I am comfortable recognizing changes in a pet's condition, obtaining vital signs, and knowing when symptoms require veterinary attention and how soon. I am also experienced and comfortable administering medications of all types, insulin injections, and fluids under the skin, as well as caring for pets with medical or special needs. While I am not a professional pet trainer, I am comfortable working with a wide variety of behaviors and behavioral-training approaches and understand the importance of patience, consistency, and meeting each animal where they are. I know that when pet parents are away, their pets often need a little extra TLC, reassurance, and one-on-one attention. I make every effort to maintain their normal routine as closely as possible—from meals and medications to walks, playtime, rest, and plenty of companionship. My goal is for your pet to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Most importantly, I believe in open and honest communication. I strive to address questions and concerns before booking whenever possible, so you can feel confident, comfortable, and at ease knowing your pet is in capable hands. Whether your pet needs a long walk, a little extra attention, routine medication, or simply someone to make them feel less lonely while you're away, I would love the opportunity to care for them. ❤️ I am able to accommodate Thursday afternoons - Monday morning bookings. I work full-time as an administrator at a local veterinary hospital and am fortunate to make my own schedule. Prior to booking, I ensure the pet parent and I are aligned with the sitting/walking schedule. Before walking your pet, I will inspect leashes, collars, and harnesses fit appropriately and are safe. I will also be sure to know your pet’s friendliness, anxieties, and reactivities to strangers and other animals. At your home, I will follow your pet’s routines to the best of my ability and your instructions completely. In the case of emergency, I can perform CPR and first aid.
About: I have had three dogs of my own, and have been caring for dogs my whole life. Many neighbors and peers have relied on me to provide care for their furry friends! I’m new to the area and just getting started on Rover, so I don’t have client reviews here yet. However, I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy caring for dogs. I’m excited to build relationships with local pets and their owners while providing safe, attentive care every walk and visit. I’m available during my free hours for walks and visits, and I love using that time to stay active and give pets extra attention and care. I treat every dog like they’re my own and aim to keep their routine as comfortable and consistent as possible while you’re away. In your home, I’ll make sure your dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and affection, while also providing efficient communication and even photos while you are away!
About: My dream life is to own 50 acres of land and rescue and save ALL THE DOGS! But in the meantime, I foster, adopt, rescue and care for as many dogs as I can, whenever I can. I have been taking care of large dogs for all of my adult life, rescuing dozens of dogs from the streets of Atlanta to beginning my fostering journey this past December while residing in Florida. I have gotten every dog I have fostered into a forever, loving home with a few foster fails along the way :) (oops). I have worked with aggressive dogs, behavior-challenged dogs, trauma induced dogs, fearful dogs and every other dog in between. And I have loved them all. My greatest joy in life (after caring for my two young daughters) is saving and taking care of dogs. I will honor your fur baby's requirements, desires, needs and wants to a T and will provide the utmost professional and expert care to your animal at all costs. I have trained challenging dogs in an environment that is positive and reward-based all while maintaining boundaries and full control of every situation. I have experience walking numerous dogs at once and will make sure your pet is safe and secure at all times. I will love your baby as my own and will make sure they are played with, walked, watered and pampered while in my care! Dogs are my passion and I look forward to taking care of sweet furry angel! I am currently a stay at home mom, with two kiddos in school, so I have plenty of morning and day time hours to take care of your furry baby. I am also available for night sitting, weekend and over night care with enough notice. I will make sure your dog goes outside, whether you want me to play fetch in the backyard or take your pup on a leisurely and/or adventure walk in the woods. I will make sure your dog has water, and a comfy crate (if you crate your dog) and/or make sure everything is secure in your home for your dog according to your needs and requests. I will feed your dog, administer medicine if necessary, play with your dog, work on training if you request, clean up any messes, and anything else in between that is in accordance to your doggo's daily schedule. Your wish is my command!
“Julia was so patient with my little guy! Very knowledgeable about pets. Will book again . Great communication and asked questions to give my boy the best visit !”
“Brandi was excellent with the cats, and took lots of pictures. The updates on when she was arriving for a drop-in visit and when she was leaving were helpful. The cats really seemed to respond to her. I will definitely book her again in the future.”
“We had a great experience with Thomas! He went above and beyond with Dexter, walking him all over the neighborhood, playing with him in the backyard, and giving him enough exercise to tire him out. The communication was excellent and we’ll be sure to reach out to him in the future!”
“Alexandra (Lexi) was AMAZING. The dogs fell in love with her right away and she was such an overall joy to interact with. She was very communicative, flexible, and super caring. Could not recommend her more for your pups!”
About: With three years of experience in animal welfare with time spent at CASPCA, RSPCA and RAL, I’ve had the joy of working with all kinds of dogs and kitties and getting to know the wonderful families who love them. As well as growing up in a rescue based household for German Shepards. My passion for animal care has only grown, and I’m always looking for new ways to continue doing what I love most: helping pets feel happy, safe, loved, and cared for like family. Whether your pup needs a fun walk, some extra attention while you’re away, or simply a little companionship during the day, I’m here to provide the personalized care, patience, and love they deserve. I know how much our pets mean to us, and I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own. My goal is to give you peace of mind while making sure your furry family member gets plenty of exercise, enrichment, cuddles, and tail-wagging adventures! 🐕✨ Because happy pets = happy families! 🐾 I’m daily caring for my five at home cats as well as my two resident dogs. My availability is currently very open so I'm looking for ways to continue helping families and their pets! Whatever that may be. I love shedules and appreciate them myself when I am leaving my pets with sitters. Your needs are my top priorities. I have a lot of experience with medication administration, behavioral concerns, and training needs. I want to make sure the pets and people are totally comfortable.

Cynthia also did a great job with cleaning our multiple litter boxes and bringing the mail in. She went beyond our expectations!!
Sarah did an incredible job taking care of our typically anxious Shih Tzu! We have struggled in the past with boarding because he won’t eat and gets bad anxiety. Within the first minute of meeting Sarah he was so excited and wanting to play! She took great care of him - he was happy and comfortable and eating his food! When we came home he was acting like it was just any other normal day, we have never had this experience in his 8 years of life! She is super communicative, sweet and most importantly you can tell she really loves the animals she’s caring for 🥰 thank you Sarah for taking such great care of him!
We had a great experience with Marina! She is reliable, caring, and wonderful with our dog. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while we work such long hours. I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog walker!
My cat is very hesitant around new people. Ann was extremely understanding and accommodating of his quirks to make him feel comfortable with her being in his space. She gave me thorough updates and multiple pictures every day. I highly recommend her, especially if you have skittish or quirky animals.

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.
