“Sharon has been great for our puppy! She is reliable, flexible, and our dog loved her the minute she walked in the first time we met her! She is really good at giving updates and letting me know how our dog does.”
“Ron took great care of our dogs over a five day period during a busy holiday season. His drop-in visits occurred in the schedule we had requested, and he managed the daily walks we had asked for in addition to the regular feeding, watering, and backyard visits. With all the real-time notices of his visits, and we were able to relax and enjoy our trip. Great experience!”
About: Like many kids, I wanted to be a veterinarian. Like most, that didn’t happen. So I have 4 dogs instead (and a tortoise!). I have trained all of my dogs, helped friends and neighbors with dog training, do all grooming in-home, and I absolutely love caring for furry friends. I have a flexible work-from-home schedule and would love to check in on your dog(s) and go for a walk! Early mornings, mid-day, or night-time is a-ok. As a therapist, I love how dogs can tune in to their owners’ nervous systems and detect when comfort is needed. I have experience with dogs of all sizes, including puppies. Whatever you need, I’ve done it and can do it!
About: I’ve grown up with dogs being a huge part of my life. I’ve had Akitas, Labs, Huskys, and currently live with a little Cavapoo. I have watched family and friends pets growing up and would be happy to watch yours too. I love going walks and will be happy to help with any of your dogs needs. I work from home so can be available throughout the day to give your dog all the love and attention they need. I live an active lifestyle and am happy to include your pet in that whether it’s walks or playing fetch (or just a lot of belly rubs). I am happy to work with you to create the best environment for your dog possible. I will happily send as many dog pictures as you need and respect your house and rules, while caring for your best friends.
“So great. This was the first pet sitter I’d hired and she did amazing with our older cat. She gave her pills and so many cuddles while we were out of town. I also appreciated all the Rover cards, updates, and great communication. When we go out of town again, Maddie will be the first person I contact.”
About: I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life and I am super passionate about animals. I have experienced both owning and sitting animals of all ages (especially puppies) and I would love to get to know your fuzzy friends!😊 I am a student, but currently on break for the summer so I am very flexible! I am a runner so long walks don’t bother me at all. Animals are one of my passions so I will be giving your fur baby as much attention as it needs. Whether that is a walk, a food and water refill, some pets or a simple potty break, I will be there!
“Nicole was excellent! She was so enthusiastic and caring, and she even handled Lily’s insulin injections like a pro. She was super respectful of our home and gave us detailed updates with each visit. We highly recommend her and would love to have her care for Lily again in the future.”
About: I have been entrusted with the care of many friends and neighbors pets since I was 10 years old. I have my own cat, Pidge, who I trained to go on walks and do tricks. He’s very friendly and people oriented. I just adopted an Aussie puppy and have been adapting her to the world and keeping her mentally stimulated. I am a detail oriented and thorough sitter. If your pet has special quirks or needs I am more than willing to abide! I can go over their training, take them on a walk and prepare special treats or meals. Anything to ensure my visit is as close to their usual routine as possible. Your pets comfort and care is my top priority. My schedule works perfectly for date nights, concerts, and any special events you may have in the evening during the week. Weekends I’m fully available. If you want your dog to get some socialization I’m also willing to orchestrate a play date with my dog (after an initial meet with you present). I would love to check in on your pet or take your dogs (or cats) for a walk! I work full time so I am available on weekdays in the morning, evening and overnight. Weekends all day. I can visit after work and take them on a walk, feed them, let them out to potty, check their food/water, do some training, etc. I am detail oriented and will make sure I follow the specific routine and guidelines you require for your pet. In my own home I have a daily schedule for my puppy’s training in 10min increments to maximize her training and behavioral development, as well as give her my undivided attention in the hours she’s awake. I wouldn’t hesitate to go above and beyond for your pets as well. I care about the well being and safety of all animals and will make sure every pet in your home is treated with respect.
About: I have raised dogs and cats through out my life, I currently have a rescue Shih Tzu named Gizmo who is nine years old and is great with other dogs. I worked at an animal shelter for a few years and also at a dog training and boarding kennel so I have experience with all breeds and temperaments as well as years of professional dog walking and pet sitting. I’m getting ready to go to school for dog grooming to add to my pet care skills and would love to take care of your pets to help make money for school! I will give your fur babies the love, care and attention they deserve. I also have experience administering medications including pills and insulin shots. I work short days outside my home starting early in the morning, but my partner works from home so your dog wouldn’t be left alone if you board with me! I’m available for in home visits or walks as well. We have a rescue Shih Tzu who is 9 years old and loves the company of other dogs, she’s not big on playing but she’s all about the snuggles and naps. I cater my care to each individual dog and am happy to discuss your pets needs. If you board with me your dog will get frequent walks and as much exercise as you request, we live in an apartment so I would be taking them out on a leash to walk around the neighborhood; we also have a fenced area specifically for letting dogs run around and play if that’s what you prefer. I am happy to crate them if you’d like or let them sleep in one of my dogs many beds, she sleeps in bed with us so she won’t mind! If I’m coming to your house I can follow any instructions you have for walking/ feeding/ administering medication I’ve done many walks and home visits for pet owners over the years, and my experience in animal shelters and dog training facilities had given me a lot of knowledge about dog behavior and needs.
“Erin has been great. Both of my dogs like her and my cat who is normally skittish has stayed out when Erin has been over. I’ve had to reach out short notice a couple of times, and she has been able to accommodate. I’m very pleased and I would highly recommend her!”
“Nicole was great with our pets! We have two cats and she consistently updated us with thorough notes and plenty of pictures :) we look forward to having her cat sit again!”
“Lori is fantastic! This is our second time working with her, and I can’t say enough good things. She took such great care of our home and fur baby, and went above and behind to make sure everything was taken care of. We always feel comfortable leaving out kitty in Lori’s hands, because we know she’ll be well cared-for. She always sends lots of pictures with her Rover cards, which is appreciated when we’re missing our fur baby! Thanks, Lori!”
“Mackenzie made sure to keep us updated on all of the things we needed to know while she watched Stella! We got a lot of photos and could tell Stella was well taken care of!”
“Anna was so sweet with my puppy. She spent some time with her and even went the extra mile trying to get her to sleep before she left. She did a meet and greet the day before hand which was nice of her. Would definitely reach out again for a check in!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Madeline was the best! I’d never used Rover before and she was the first sitter I connected with. Madeline was extremely kind and communicative. She sent us plenty of videos and wrote detailed cards for us, which we appreciated immensely. I highly recommend her and will definitely see if she’s available next time we need a pet sitter.
One word: incredible. From the moment I met Joann, I could tell she was a very genuine and caring person (& my dog could too)! Throughout the visit, I was updated with pictures & she handled my dog’s many needs with ease - bladder expression, mobility, wound care, etc. Highly, highly recommend!!
Jennifer and her husband watched our cats while we were on our honeymoon for two weeks and did a fantastic job. They sent us thorough updates each day and gave our problem cat his pill each morning. They followed instructions perfectly, played with them, cleaned up nicely, and gave us peace of mind while we were gone. This was our first time booking with them and would do it again in a heartbeat. We appreciate the care you provided to our boys! Thank you!
Chandler is absolutely amazing! My husband and I have gone on several long vacations (1-2 weeks at a time) and she has been fabulous! She keeps us updated daily on how our kitties are doing, takes lots of pictures, and follows instructions to the tee ❤️ She even goes above and beyond to take out trash, which we did not ask her to do. Thank you so much Chandler! We feel so much better being away from our babies when she is taking care of them 😻
Abby was great! She was responsive, on time and went above and beyond in taking care of our Aussie! She was thoughtful and detailed with her drop-ins notes with a few photos each time! We definitely will be checking if she is available next time we need care for our pup!
Lizzy was awesome! Gave us such peace of mind by popping in to feed and walk our lab. And she was very communicative, knowledgeable and kind! I also asked my pup what he thought and he said 10/10 would recommend for good pats and cuddles! Looking forward to booking with her 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 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.

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 use the 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.
