“Haley was exceptional. She is an A+ communicator who provided thorough updates and great pictures after every visit. She proactively asked what was necessary to keep our animals safe and gave each of them individualized care. It is clear she truly loved our pets, and they loved her in return. As a bonus, she kept a watchful eye on our house and left it well organized. Haley is a gem, and we will absolutely use her again. Thank you, Haley, for taking such wonderful care of our little ones!”
“Danny and Jennifer did a great job taking care of our 3 dogs. They paid close attention to our requests and sent detailed comments with each visit. We would definitely recommend and use again!”
“Keirra is simply astounding! She is incredibly attentive to your pets needs as well as your own, and Is very clear on her Rover cards about how they are doing. She spends quality time with your pets and makes sure not just food and water, but things like pet cameras are operating so you can see them! She gets back to messages promptly and was flexible when my transportation was canceled and needing rescheduling. I highly recommend this amazing sitter!”
“One of, if not the best, dog sitters I’ve ever had. Any worry I thought I had she handled, great with communication, follows all instructions and is very flexible and nice. 10/10 would recommend and will definitely use again.”
“Suzanne went above and beyond for the week she watched my kitty. She’s a great communicator and made me feel very comfortable leaving my fur baby when I went home for the holidays. I’ll definitely use her again next time I’m out of town! Xox”
About: I have been taking care of dogs my whole life. My sweet Charlie passed in 2024 and to fill the void, I am now taking care of other people's pets.

About: I’m an experienced dog owner with years of hands-on care for dogs of different breeds, sizes, energy levels, and personalities. I currently care for a cat (My sweet Sassy) and multiple dogs, including German Shepherds, Belgian Malinois and my small breed Corgi Beagle mix Luke-y so I’m very comfortable with large, active, and high-energy breeds. I’m experienced with structured walks, exercise, feeding routines, basic commands, medication schedules, and giving each dog individualized attention. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, and I will treat your babies with the same patience, attentiveness, and love that I give my loves. I’m currently in the military but love nothing more than hanging out with my babies - and more babies we meet the greater! :) My babies are such a huge part of my everyday routine, so adding another pup to the mix comes pretty naturally to me. We’re big on walks, outside time, playing fetch and tug and just hanging out on the couch. I’m used to planning my day around my cat and dogs and making sure each gets the attention and exercise they need. I have multiple dogs of my own, so I know every dog is different and has their own personality and needs. I’m very comfortable with XL / big dogs and high-energy breeds, but I’m also big on keeping everyone safe and structured. I’ll follow whatever routine you have for your pup and treat them like I would want someone to treat mine.
About: I’ve cared for pets of all ages, from playful puppies to gentle seniors. I provide patient, reliable care and treat every pet like family, ensuring comfort, safety, and love. I work from home everyday of the week except Wednesdays so I have a very flexible schedule to take care of if your pets! On Wednesdays I am usually home before 2pm so your pet would not be left alone for long periods of time ever. Your pet’s safety always comes first. I provide a clean, calm environment, fresh water, supervision, and plenty of love so they feel secure and happy.
“Maya is great. Communication was prompt, she sent nice pictures of my Tabby and she was very thorough in providing her services. My Tabby doesn't like everyone but she was ready to go home with Maya after I came home.”
About: I'm 23 years old and currently work full-time at the Humane Society of Missouri, where I care for animals of all sizes and temperaments every day. I have hands-on experience with everything from puppies to seniors, and I'm comfortable handling dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities — including reactive or high-energy pups. I’m also a proud dog mom to two wonderful German Shepherds, so I truly understand how much your dog means to you. Whether it’s walking, drop-ins, or boarding, I provide the same love and care to your pets as I do to my own. Trustworthy, reliable, and passionate about animals, I’m here to make sure your pet is happy, healthy, and well cared for — whether you’re at work or away on vacation.

I live in a very large apartment with so much room to walk around and play! I have many green space around my apartment for walks, along with a fenced in dog park attached to my apartment!
About: I have taken care of cats and dogs since I was about 13 years old whether it was the neighbors animals or the family pets. This included me playing with them during the day, taking them out for walks, letting them out for bathroom breaks at set times, feeding them when the owner wanted, and bathing the animals if asked to. Most days I am free after my classes on M/W/F I am free anytime after 6pm and on T/T I am free after 1pm unless something comes up randomly. On the weekends I’m free anytime. The only days I may have some trouble is on Thursday and Sunday since those are my plasma donating days and it depends when I can get an appointment for it, when I get out of the donation, and how I feel after it. I will play with the dogs and give them plenty of love and attention, I can take them for walks if the owner wants me to, let them go potty when asked by the owner, feed them at whatever times the owners want me to, and even bathe them if I’m requested to.
About: Hi! I’m 23 and have been around dogs my entire life, so caring for pets has always been something I genuinely love. I’m reliable, responsible, and will treat your pets like they’re my own. Whether your pup needs a walk, some playtime, or just a little extra love and attention while you’re away, I’m happy to help! I also you like you to know I will respect your space and home as I care for your pet. I know how important it is to feel comfortable leaving your pets in someone else’s care, and I’ll make sure they’re happy, safe, and well-loved. I work at a Pilates studio Monday–Friday from 8am–2pm, so I’m available for pet care before and after work. I have a flexible schedule outside of those hours and am happy to work with your routine and your pet’s needs! I have a fenced yard and two friendly dogs who love treats and tug-of-war! I’ll always make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, including feeding, walks, playtime, and crate time if needed.

About: I am a very pet-oriented person, having had cats and dogs in my life since I was small.

“Katie looked after my 3 cats for drop in visits and was excellent! She was able to do medicine for the little one and everyone was happy when I got home.”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Westwood
Haley does such an amazing job looking after my little guy. She sends updates and videos letting me know how he is doing and is very attentive to an older dogs needs. Would strongly recommend her to any one needing an extra hand in looking after their pet. Thanks again Haley!
Keirra is simply astounding! She is incredibly attentive to your pets needs as well as your own, and Is very clear on her Rover cards about how they are doing. She spends quality time with your pets and makes sure not just food and water, but things like pet cameras are operating so you can see them! She gets back to messages promptly and was flexible when my transportation was canceled and needing rescheduling. I highly recommend this amazing sitter!
Kiffin did an amazing job on such short notice! My husband and I had an event that day that I thought I’d be able to drop in around lunch and when I found out that wasn’t going to happen, she was able to come over to let my babies out! I always appreciate photos and although I didn’t have any cell reception where I was, I was hoping to have left Kiffin with enough details that she would be able to be good with the dogs since this was the first time I have asked her to come over. She did a fantastic job and I would definitely use her again!
Courtney is a warm, professional and detail oriented person who wants to do the best job possible. She saved the day when my regular sitter was unable to help. She was calm and meeting my somewhat reactive German Shepherd and was comfortable with that dogs energy which probably made the dog feel much more comfortable. They became good friends at the end. I would highly recommend her!

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.
