“Caitlin was fantastic! She took great care of my girls! She even made time to come meet my girls before the first drop-in visit, which made me feel much more comfortable. I was very happy with the care, and communication provided. We’re grateful for everything, and so happy to have someone we can trust for future care.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westport
I couldn't be happier with how Nancy cared for my two pups! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, loving, and attentive. She took the time to play with them and keep them active. My dogs were so happy, and I had total peace of mind while I was away. Nancy is a fantastic pet sitter, 100% recommended!
Katie was phenomenal!! We reached out to her at the last minute to come do a drop-in visit. She graciously agreed to help us out. She was great with our dogs. She was punctual and communicated extremely well. We would definitely recommend Katie to care for your four-legged babies.
Britt did an amazing job watching our puppies for seven days! She cared for them as if they were her own, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We received constant updates and lots of pictures, so we always knew they were happy and well cared for. It truly was an incredible experience from start to finish. We will absolutely be using her again in the future. Our puppies clearly adored her, and it’s obvious she genuinely loves and cares for the animals she watches. We couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Ashley was very communicative and timely! If she was running late she was sure to let us know well ahead of time. Always sent pictures and assured us things were in place, the door locked, and the pets happy! Even with plans changing she was flexible and awesome.
Genevieve did a wonderful job caring for our grandpup and pup for the day! She dropped in for a morning and afternoon visit while we were coming home from a trip out of town. She provided photos, updates and fresh water for both dogs. We really appreciate her care for the pups!!
This was our first time using someone from Rover to take care of our dog while we were out of town. And boy did we find the best pet-sitter ever. Gabby did a fantastic job caring for our dog (16), the updates and pics were great. She was also always on-time according to the schedule we had agreed too. Would highly recommend!!!
Suzy has been absolutely wonderful with our fur babies, and we’ve been using her for over a year now. She truly knows them, their routines, and their personalities, and it shows in the way she cares for them. She’s always on time and sends thoughtful, detailed updates with photos after each visit, which gives us complete peace of mind. We trust her completely with our pets and couldn’t recommend her more highly!
Jesse was absolutely amazing!!! She went above and beyond anything we could have expected. She took phenomenal care of our dogs and loved on them like they were her own. Her communication was impeccable. We will most definitely be repeat customers. If you’re looking to have peace of mind while you’re away, and if you’re looking for someone that you can trust to take care of your 4 legged babies, Jesse is your person!

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.
