“Amanda is amazing, reliable and over all a welcoming vibrant person. Fiona loves her. Over all Amanda goes above and beyond hospitality. We will definitely be using her in the future.”
“Lyle has watched our dog and two cats a few times and always does a stellar job! We feel so good about leaving our home and pets knowing they are with someone so caring and reliable.”
“Kara is awesome! She was able to draw out both my cats during the Meet & Greet (they both run & hide when a stranger comes in the door, so I wasn't expecting them to come out for her). She was very attuned to how my one cat responded with fear to her voice changing to a deeper register and made sure to keep a gentle, light, reassuring tone. She was also super gracious about things like having to clean up a hairball and feed one cat separately in a super messy bedroom I didn't have time to clean. When Kara spontaneously said "I love cats!" while she was meeting and greeting Winnie and Iosaf, I knew she was the perfect petsitter for them!! 😻😻”
“Heather O. Did an amazing job! I came home to a happy pup. She made sure to update the app each time she was there, take pictures and even take him for walks. I will be inquiring again the next time I am out of town!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Kristi and Jason! They were able to accommodate our last minute request and went above and beyond to make sure our high energy dog got plenty of attention, exercise, and care. Communication was excellent throughout our time away, we received updates and always felt confident that our dog was in great hands. We would absolutely use them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Michael has been amazing with our dog Marty! He has been great at communicating, helping us with learning the app, and taking care of Marty. Marty loves him and enjoys spending time with Michael.”
“Theresa is awesome! My girls love her. She has sat for me 2x times now and both times I’ve never worried once! Even when I was stuck in Texas she was able to check on them a couple extra day! What a blessing to have found Theresa.”
About: I have taken care of dogs and cats for over 18 years now. I usually help family and friends when they go out of town. Pets are like family and should be treated as such and that is something I value in my care. I work full-time in grocery retail, typically on the early morning shift. This means I am completely done with work by mid-afternoon and have the rest of the day, evening, and night entirely open to focus on your pet! For house sitting or boarding, your pet will be safely left for an 8-hour stretch during the day while I am at the store, but they will get plenty of exercise and attention before I leave and the absolute maximum amount of love, long walks, and playtime the moment I get home. If I’m in a clients home, I will do what the client says is most best for their loved one. I aim to make sure each pet is cared for and comfortable in their environment.
“Bill did such a great job taking care of our 14 year old Buddy! Communicated in great detail so we had no worries about how he was doing while away. Such a blessing to have someone who really cares for dogs and is shows! Thank you 🙏🏻”
About: About Me I’ve been watching animals of all kinds for over 10 years. From dogs and cats to chickens, ducks, and even hedgehogs! I love and treat each and every one of them as my own. My Schedule I work as a registered nurse 3 days a week - this allows me more time to check in on your little love! *My clinicals are typically half days, so if there is a particular day I marked unavailable, please send me a message, we may be able to work something out.* My Home I live off of a private road on 1.6 acres. My backyard is completely fenced with plenty of trees and nature. This allows for a SAFE environment for your fur baby to run/exercise, play, and lots of sniffing for mental stimulation. What to Expect I treat all animals as my own and ensure play and exercise is part of our routine. I have also have two large dogs who love to play. Photos/videos and activity descriptions are sent regularly to ensure you feel connected to your fur baby! *please let me know if your fur baby has any special limitations at our meet and greet so I can do my best to accommodate them.* I love animals more than people, and will ensure to treat your little love like royalty! I’m a nursing student so I have a pretty open schedule aside from classes! I have a VERY large fenced back yard and two very friendly doggos who love to play! All play is supervised and (because of my nursing background), I’ll check your babies frequently to ensure no fleas, ticks, etc.
About: We always are out having fun, exploring new terrain. I have a puli and she is always craving new friends and adventures. Dogs are everything to me and the life I live, can't beat a dogs love. We get out and explore all the time as no dog should be left behind sitting around not enjoying life to the fullest. Your pets will be in good hands, treating them just like they are my own. We frequent dog parks and will rally all sorts of fun activities with your beloved animal. I love dogs, you can trust me with your precious family member. Rover is a great service! I work from home so your pets will be taken care of around the clock. I will be available to offer potty breaks whenever needed. We love on your pets like they are our own. They won't want to leave when they are in our care. Safety and their well-being is our top priority.
About: I love animals. I grew up with a German Shepard and horses and ponies. We had a Black Lab when my Children were school age whom we adored. I have had large dogs including Rottweilers, Black Lab, Shepard's, and Huskies and taken care of small dogs too including poodles and dachshund's. My neighbors have Two Golden Retrievers whom I spend time with and visit me daily. I have a large yard and I love to play with the dogs and walk dogs. I have a medical background with humans and I am a stickler about safety. I once took care of a cat that needed antibiotics through a tube in his leg. I can safely give medicines to pets. I work from home part time so I have plenty of time to exercise and play with your pup. I live on a country road with lots of good things to sniff. I have a ranch style home in a big yard with lots of shade trees. I will leash your dog if needed when they go outside and stay with them to play. I have security cameras at the front of the property. I live in a very safe and friendly neighborhood.
“Barb has been watching my two cats for several years. I'm always pleased. Even though they are tremendously shy she has finally gotten them to come out of cover at least for a little while. A major accomplishment!”
“Hana visited our home and cared our cats once every three-day during our overseas travels. During this periods, our home had multiple Wi-Fi and technical issues affecting our cat machines, we felt grateful Hana was able to tackle the issues, so we didn't need to request too many extra visit or worried about the cats on the other side of the globe. We are very pleased Hana was our cats sitter, and highly recommend her!!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Whitmore Lake
We’ve had a great experience! Al helps us out with occasional lunchtime visits and is always reliable, responsive, and great with our dog. It’s so nice knowing our dog gets a break, some attention, and a little exercise when we can’t be there. We really appreciate him and would definitely recommend him!
Amanda is great with our cats! We have had her as our pet sitter a few times now and really appreciate the time and attention she spends with the kitties. She gives everyone love, playing with our social kitties and gently checking in on our shy one. We plan to reach out to Amanda for any future trips as she does such a great job!
Tara was a great help taking care of our cats! She sent tons of pictures and even my shy guy came out for her. I really appreciated her communication throughout the weekend we were away. I will definitely ask Tara to pet sit again in the future 😊 thanks, Tara!

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 .

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.
