“I'll always be booking Ash and I may start planning my vacations around Ash's availability (kind of joking :) ). We have a reserved cat that Ash has been great with. Timely, great summaries, and great pictures of the visit that just leave me at ease. Don't hesitate to book Ash. You won't regret it.”
“Grace was AMAZING and is so knowledgeable about dogs and their unique needs. She was so patient and knew exactly how to get our dog with bad anxiety more comfortable. We really appreciate her help and the updates during the drop- in visit.”
“Paula was great with our 2 pups. She did a meet and greet beforehand which was so nice! She was fantastic with them and brought over games to help engage them during her visits. The picture and notes after each visit were detailed and made us feel better about leaving our pups home knowing they were well taken care of.”
About: Hi! I’m Karilyn! Dogs have always been important members of my family. I have experience managing daily pet care, safety, and offering attention. I am most experienced with larger dog breeds, but am familiar with breeds of all sizes and shapes. I prefer to not be out after dark, but am pretty flexible walk-by-walk. Otherwise my availability is as marked. If we’ve established a good relationship, I’m happy to be flexible! On walks, safety is my number one priority. This means secure leashes, alertness to both the environment and the individual dog. This also means catering to sensitivities and preferences of the owner AND the dog. I love to interact with animals, and understand their signals and boundaries. It also important that the pets in my care are hydrated and feeling well after spending time with me.
About: I've been a full time veterinary assistant for 5 years now. I've loved animals since I was a child. I pet sit friends and family pets. I am able to take care of your pet before and after work. I can stop by my apartment on my lunch break and take care of your pet, if needed. I do not work on weekends. My apartment has a dog park, but I do like going on long walks. Play time is essential. Giving treats as a reward for training.
“Catherine was incredible! I had a last minute business trip out of town and had been stressing about finding someone to watch my two cats. I'm so grateful Catherine was available and will definitely be using her again in the future. She followed directions and went above and beyond. Every day I got multiple pictures and updates on their eating habits, temperament, how play time went, etc. I could feel the love she showed my felines through the updates. My cats can be rather suspicious of new people but they warmed up to her quickly and within a day or two were waiting for her by the door. I think that really speaks to her skill with animals and how much respect and love she shows them. Will definitely be using her services in the future. Cannot recommend Catherine enough. 5 stars all day every day”
“I cannot speak highly enough of Jordan. I have a difficult cat, but she was so kind and understanding of his needs and she really valued keeping him comfortable while I was away. She was gentle with both of my pets, and communicated well with me about her visit. I already have her booked for a future commitment!”
About: I own a weenie dog named George. I love this guy to the moon and back. My husband won’t let me get another one, so I’ll love on yours! I used to dog sit in my home, I had 8 dogs at once, a few summers ago. I am happy to walk them, hang with them, and spoil. One of my favorite clients was a one eyed pitbull named Jack, and his boxer brother named Claude. I have always had Dogs growing up, I am such an animal lover. We have also had pet rats, birds, bunnies, and hermit crabs! I can provide excellent references. George the Wiener is my biggest supporter. Just don’t tell him I am leaving him for the day for your pup! We also have an adorable Dutch Bun, named Bun, a gold fish we won at a carnival 6 years, named Carnival Fish, and a bearded dragon named Harold! I work remotely, so I can work from YOUR home while I get to cuddle with your pets.I have reliable transportation and excellent work ethic! I am definitely a cuddler when it comes to pets. I promise yours will be just as spoiled as mine while you are away for the day or week!

“Gabrielle did such an amazing job with our anxious attachment kitty! Our cat tends to not eat when we are not there, but Gabrielle's visits made our cat feel calm and supported. All her food was eaten! Our cat showed no signs of sadness or anxiety upon our return. Thank you, Gabrielle!”
“Cristina was always prompt and carried out the requested responsibilities for care of our cat. She shared notes about him and sent pictures. Our cat is not the easiest to interact with and she approached him with the same enthusiasm and care as a cat she would own. I highly recommend Cristina as we will undoubtedly use her again.”
“Hannah took such great care of my two kitties while I was away. She did drop-in visits and sent me pictures. I could see that they really warmed up to her! She sent me reports and everything went really well. She will be my first choice the next time I go out of town. Thanks Hannah!”
About: I’m a very active sitter, I love to walk, drive, waltz and run. I may also do a hand-drawn portrait of your dog, in addition to making sure they are very well taken care of. c: I love big dogs and lil angels. Afternoon walks, early and late morning strolls, dinner and late night walks are my peak times. A lot of peaks in the day. Weekends are for the birds though. If in your home, I will make sure they stay in the zone you’d like, are well fed and get plenty of outside time. I used to have a dog with allergies so I will make sure they get any medications if needed. In my home as well, we have three very loving people, big open spaces, a nice neighborhood to play.
“Rosa was so wonderful with our dog. She walked him, played with him and made sure he was well fed, happy and safe. She communicated with us during or after each visit and even sent pictures of him having fun which gave us great peace of mind knowing he was being well cared for while we were away. I highly recommend her!”
“Gabriela is wonderful! She was able to accommodate a last minute request, which I really appreciated. She is always on time or a few minutes early, which is nice, and is great with my pup.”

Sarah did a wonderful job! She made three scheduled visits, checked in with us each time, and all five kitties came out to see her, which is a miracle. She has that intuitive connection to the cats. Plus, we really enjoyed seeing the pictures she saved for us.
I just can’t praise enough of this lady. She has been watching over my babies for a while and I never ever had issues with Joan. She was with us as we lost one of our dogs and gave extra care to the ones left. She came through again for us and I am so grateful to her for her love and care for our babies. She is truly the best I’ve ever had. No worries whatsoever with Joan!!
Kathryn was such a wonderful sitter for my dog. She was punctual and very thoughtful of my dog needs. My dog had such a great time with her. She sent me so many cute pics and videos of their time together. I was so happy she was able to take care of him and that she made him feel loved as I was away. Thank you so much! I’ll definitely will contact 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 .

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.
