“This was my first time using a pet sitter and I'm a extremely impressed with your level of care for the animals. Jasmine has been nothing but amazing while taking care of my cats! I love getting the text and pics of my babies while I'm away! She took care of everything that I asked her to! My cats looked happy and fed! I will definitely use your service again and Jasmine is my first choice, hands down! Thanks Jasmine!❤❤?”
“Absolutely amazing, my dog is a rescue dog and I am always unsure as to how he is going to react with others. He love Rachel from the very first day. She is such a caring person. Thank you.”
“2nd time with Jenny, another awesome experience caring for our needy pug. Great quick communication, and wealth of knowledge, she works to optimize our situation. Thank you!”
About: I have grown up with dogs so I’m used to all kinds of dogs. From puppies to seniors. I also used to volunteer at animal shelters. I’m currently working part time and do most of college online. So I have plenty of time for your pets! I also have a very flexible schedule. I’m committed to providing quality care in the environment your pet is used too. My goal is make your pet feel well taken care of.
About: I have been a pet owner my entire life. My love for dogs knows no bounds. I enjoy taking mine on walks cuddling. And lots of belly rubs. I will treat yours as my own. I am at home all day during the week and will be able to watch your baby around the clock. I am also available during the weekends. I have a fenced yard that my dogs love to play in and I know yours will too. I can crate if one is provided and follow any dietary concerns.
“Emma! What a blessing it was for us to have you check in on Scooby while we were away. This was our first time using the service and it was so easy to navigate and communicate with Emma. We returned home to a happy dog who was well cared for in our absence. We look forward to rebooking with Emma.”
“We had a wonderful experience having our cat, Ivy, looked after for three days. Cindy was reliable, caring, and attentive, and it was clear that Ivy was in great hands. We especially appreciated that Cindy took the time to meet us and Ivy beforehand, which gave us great peace of mind. The updates and care throughout the three days were wonderful. We would definitely recommend them and would happily have her look after Ivy again!”
About: I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for many years and truly love being around animals. I’m experienced with dogs of different ages, sizes, and personalities, including puppies and senior pets. I provide a safe, loving, and comfortable home environment with plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and cuddles. I treat every pet as part of the family and always follow the owner’s feeding, medication, and care instructions carefully. I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give your pets the attention they deserve. I’m available throughout the week, including weekends, for boarding and pet care. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, playtime, walks, and companionship. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a clean, calm, and loving home environment and carefully follow each owner’s feeding, walking, medication, and daily routine instructions. I always make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home.
“Michael helped us out with a last minute request. He was reliable, and clearly great with our dogs! Both of our pups seemed well taken care of and happy when we got home. It was a huge relief knowing they were in good hands. We highly recommend him for anyone needing a trustworthy and dependable dog sitter!”
“Bryce was awesome! Not only did he check on the kitties but he also shared concern about the house temperature and made sure that our back door was locked. And our most shy kitty loves him. :)”
About: I have a lifelong love for dogs and years of hands-on experience caring for them. I grew up around dogs and currently have my own pitbull named Sage, who I adopted and trained myself. She is the sweetest girl and has taught me a lot about patience, consistency, and giving dogs the love and structure they need to thrive. I’m comfortable with feeding routines, walks, playtime, basic training reinforcement, and making sure dogs feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every dog like they’re my own and always make sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine because animals have always been a big part of my life. I care for my own dog, Sage, every day by making sure she gets exercise, attention, and proper care. I also regularly help take care of my boyfriend’s five cats, so feeding, cleaning litter boxes, and giving them love and attention is something I’m very used to doing throughout the week. Because I’m already in the habit of caring for animals daily, it’s easy for me to incorporate pet sitting into my schedule and make sure every pet gets the time, care, and attention they deserve. When caring for pets, my goal is always to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible by feeding them on schedule, making sure they have fresh water, taking dogs on walks or letting them out for bathroom breaks, and giving them plenty of attention and playtime. I also keep litter boxes clean for cats and make sure they get the affection and care they need. Because I’ve grown up around many different animals and currently care for my own dog, Sage, as well as my boyfriend’s five cats, I’m very comfortable with different personalities and needs. I’m attentive, patient, and always treat every pet like they’re my own while making sure the home stays clean and everything is exactly how the owner expects.
About: I love animals in general, but I have a love and passion for taking care of dogs sense at a very young age. Family and friends have always considered me as a dog whisperer because of the gift that I have in understanding the pets that I care for. I'm available at the convenience of your pet care needs. The days and times are always flexible seven days a week. I'm looking forward to taking care of your pet. I take the dogs out for walks on the nature trails and dog park for lots of exercise and playtime for your pet. Feedings and walking time are all scheduled within a routine along with potty breaks.
About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats for years, and I’m the go‑to person friends rely on when they need someone responsible to look after their pets. I’m comfortable with shy pets, high‑energy ones, seniors, and anyone who needs a little extra patience. I learn each pet’s routine quickly and keep things running smoothly while you’re away. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just hanging out, I make sure your pets stay happy, relaxed, and well cared for. I’m a student with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to be around a lot and give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. I can fit walks, playtime, and check‑ins into my routine easily. I take safety seriously and make sure pets stay secure and comfortable at all times. I follow your instructions closely, keep doors and gates checked, and stay alert on walks and during visits. I keep a calm, steady environment so pets feel relaxed, and I always make sure they’re supervised, safe, and sticking to their normal routine.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westward Ho
Xin was a big help when we had to go on a trip. Two of our cats needed daily meds and she followed instructions too the letter. When we go on trips she’s definitely our 1st choice when it comes to pet sitting. So glad she was available to take care of our cats 😊
Michael was excellent looking after my baby, Ecko. He was very attentive with her and the things she required. His services exceeded what was expected and communication was excellent. He even gave a couple of stuffed Pokemon to my grandson.I received plenty of pictures everyday and could see how well Ecko was doing. I was very pleased with his care and would definitely have him take care of my baby if needed again. Thank you for providing a great experience for my family.

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.
