“Megan was attentive to my messages and replied quickly when I needed to update her. She also updated me on what happened during her visit and she sent lots of pictures! I would book her again. Matter of fact, I have done just that! Thanks, Megan!”
“Michele was great! She was very patient and kind with my kitty who can be a little hissy. You can tell she truly loves animals and treats yours like they were her own. Would definitely recommend her!”
About: Growing up with three dogs, they became my favorite companions. My love for dogs runs deep, and I’m dedicated to their happiness and well-being. I would go above and beyond to provide the best care in this role Caring for your dog would seamlessly fit into my daily routine. I love evening walks and would truly enjoy having your dog as my walking companion. As a teacher, I have summers and holidays off, giving me plenty of time to provide attentive care and play with your dog in our home. Your dog will feel right at home with us, enjoying a warm, loving environment and plenty of time to play, relax, and explore. We’re also within walking distance of a dog park, where we can enjoy fun outings and exercise together! I always prioritize the dog’s safety, being mindful of potential hazards during walks, playtime, and at home. I keep them on a leash unless in a safe, designated area. I also provide plenty of affection and attention to make the dog feel comfortable and loved, treating them as if they were my own.
“Keerie is so wonderful! She took such fabulous care of my two kitties while I was on vacation. She provided amazing care to my two cats who need meds every day and even opened and closed the windows in the house for them while I was gone. she always made sure they had plenty of food of water and kept the house and litters in spotless condition. Keerie went above and beyond and sent the perfect amount of updates, posts, and pictures and I will certainly be rebooking with her for future trips or when I leave again! Keerie is so kind and loving and treats your fur babies like her own. She is thee best. I was so thrilled to have found her. Thank you Keerie!! - Ashley, Ellie Jo, & Harlow Gray 🥰😻😻”
“My dogs took to William/were extremely at ease with him immediately - he has calming mojo 😉 He is very responsive, very punctual with his visits, and thorough with his visit reports .... and also is very conscientious and goes above and beyond - bringing in the mail and tidying up around the house if he sees something that needs attention! I would certainly recommend William to anyone needing someone to care for their furbabies!”
“Pierre was amazing! I put in a last minute request for Pierre’s drop in services during the holidays and he quickly responded. He sent multiple pictures per visit with my kittens being feed and litter boxes cleaned daily! He even grabbed my packages and placed them inside for me. Thank you, Pierre!”
“Highly recommend! Alyssa did an absolute wonderful job watching my cats while I was away. She was incredibly attentive, kept me updated with great communication, and made sure everything was perfectly taken care of. If you are looking for a reliable, sweet, and trustworthy sitter, look no further…five stars all the way!!”
About: Hey there! I’m Kristen. I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of every kind since I was in elementary school! I have experience taking care of and owning small and large dog breeds, cats, and even farm animals like goats, pigs, turkeys and cows! I also worked at a local public alpaca farm, Majestic Meadows, and provided love, care and husbandry for a variety of exotic and farm animals, including horses, donkeys, alpacas, llamas, and more! I have experience working with animals who have special dietary needs, special medication needs, senior pets, and pets who have physical disabilities and need extra care and aid! I can brush your pet, clean their ears and teeth (if they will let me and it is safe to do so), and give them a simple bath if you would like! Lastly I do have experience in basic behavior training for dogs, including click/reward training to teach sitting, lay down, and release, however I am NOT a professional dog trainer and cannot sit for dogs that experience highly aggressive behaviors or biting towards people. I am currently doing Rover full time, so I will have plenty of time for your pets needs and for playtime, and am able to make sure that bathroom breaks and meal/snack times are not spaced too far apart :) For house sitting I cannot stay full time around the clock as I often have doctors appointments I need to attend, so I may have to come and go, but I would not be gone for longer than 3-4 hours at any given time, so if your fur baby can be alone for 3-4 hours, then I can accommodate for that 😊 I make sure to closely follow any given instructions for pet care, including instructions for a special diet or medications, and if the pet needs any special needs care or aid with grooming! I like to go over the details with clients of how their pet may like to play, how they get along with other animals/people, how they like to be pet, how they do on walks, what their favorite snacks are, and of course any special needs such as oral medications, special dietary needs, etc… to make sure that I am offering the highest quality of care and comfortability for their fur baby! I also make sure to pay close attention to timing between meals, snacks and potty breaks so their pets don’t become uncomfortable or have any accidents. Lastly, I make sure to give lots of love and attention to their pet so they don’t feel lonely!
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and couldn’t imagine a life without them. I spent 2 years working at a doggy daycare and then decided to go to school to become a dog trainer! If you would like any information on training, that can definitely be discussed! I am also Pet First Aid and CPR certified. While I do take dog training clients throughout the week, I have a pretty open and flexible schedule so I’ll have plenty of time for your furry friends! I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do have a run and a great neighborhood for walks! Whether your home or mine, I will always abide by your wishes. For example, if your pet is staying at my house and you do not what them on furniture, I will definitely make sure I stick to that for you!
“Just wanted to say nothing but the best !!! Was a little nervous leaving my babies with someone i didn't know but Kerry made it easy not to worry went on a 3 day trip and my boys are a little shy and scared of people they dont know but by their second visit you couldn't tell the boys loved them. Would 100% have Kerry watch in on my boys on our next trip and future trips we take. Kerry you and your partner are the best ! Thank you for being so good to our boys !!!”
About: I’ve had animals all my life! Mostly dogs but I’ve added a cat to my family and my sister has some bunnies. I’m the girl at the party who immediately finds the animal in the house and bonds with it!! I can’t add another pet to my clan but I’d love to spend some time with your sweet pet!! I work from home all week and get off work at noon on Fridays. I cannot take animals to my house but I have no problem traveling. Before taking care of an animal, I like to go to the house and meet the animal with the owners present. Then I can see how they behave at the house and get a run down of the do’s and don’ts
“jenna was absolutely phenomenal with taking care of our cat and house when we were overseas for 2 weeks. she sent very detailed report cards, sent lots of pictures and updates, and responded quickly. we had such a great peace of mind because she was there and will definitely be rebooking. thank you so much jenna and highly recommend her!!!”
About: I have had animals my whole life, from dogs, cats, birds, hamsters, iguanas, and rabbits. I have lived with them, fed them and kept them clean. I am currently only working part time so I have tons of time to help these animals have some fun while their parents are away! I have a very large yard and live nearby to parks. I have a crate if needed and will be willing to accommodate whatever is needed.
“Lisa has been fantastic with my dog. He was apprehensive and standoffish about a stranger coming into the house, but she’s been so kind and patient with him while he gets to know her. Thank you so much!!!”
About: I am known among my friends and family as a hugeeee dog lover. Taking care of dogs is not a job but a hobby for me. Whether your pup prefers to lounge and cuddle or go on long walks and play fetch for hours, I’ve got you covered. I am a college graduate who is finishing a part time internship. I currently have a very flexible schedule, which allows me to accommodate a variety of pet care needs, including mornings, afternoons, evenings, and weekends. I make certain that each dog that I encounter is well taken care of according to their specific needs. I prioritize movement and enriching activities for pups of all ages. I’m attentive during walks, keep dogs securely leased unless over wise instructed, and monitor their behavior to ensure they are comfortable and stress free. I’ll also keep you updated with photos or messages so you can feel confident knowing your pet is doing well.
“Love having Reagan come for my cat. He seems to really enjoy her visits and I get the best pic updates 🥰. Also so easy to communicate with, thanks for staying with my Charlie again!”
About: I have years of experience caring for dogs and other pets and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’m reliable, attentive, and committed to providing a safe, fun, and loving environment for every pet in my care. I understand that every animal has unique needs and will work to keep your pet comfortable and happy while you’re away. I am currently a full time online college student and volleyball coach, so I will have plenty of time to attend to your pets! have a flexible routine that gives me time for feedings, walks, drop-in visits, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I prioritize clear communication and will make sure your pet receives the care, attention, and routine they are used to while you’re away. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routine to help them feel comfortable and secure. I provide fresh food and water, walks or playtime, litter box or waste cleanup, and plenty of attention based on each pet’s personality and needs. I also keep owners updated with photos and messages for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my home, I provide a safe, clean, and welcoming environment where pets can relax and feel at home. I closely supervise them, follow all feeding and care instructions, and make sure they receive plenty of exercise, enrichment, affection, and rest. My goal is to treat every pet as if they were my own and ensure they are happy, comfortable, and well cared for.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Windfall
Cheryl is absolutely Amazing!! Lola LOVES her and so do I. Her drop in visits this last time, were requested literally the evening before I needed her. She responded within 90 minutes and accepted. Lola was ill and needed frequent potty breaks. It alleviated my concern about Lola's comfort during the daytime while I was at work. Cheryl always plays with Lola, spends time sitting with her and changes her water, even if she isn't required to feed her; just on a drop in visit. Lola and Leo love having her stay overnight when I am out of town. Cheryl is extremely attentive to them both. She plays with them and cuddles; which they both love a great deal. She is very thoughtful of me as well, and she sends pictures the entire time, so I know what is happening. I never worry that they are lonely or not eating when they are in her care. Cheryl keeps a key to my home at all times. In the event that I have an emergency and need to leave town or can't make it home to care for my pets, I can contact her. She has access and can take care of my fur babies. She is a Treasure!!
Laura was a wonderful pet sitter for our 2 cats. She sent detailed updates and pictures and I felt very relieved to know the cats were in such kind, competent and compassionate hands! I’m looking forward to scheduling with Laura the next time we are out of town. Many thanks!
Stephany was great! We had an odd request. We were driving through the area and were stopping for an otter encounter at Majestic Meadows. But it was too hot to leave the dog in the car as the weather was unseasonably warm. But Stephanie was willing to come out and walk the dog around while we played with otters. She was kind and friendly and prompt. Our dog was comfortable with her. A great experience that let me enjoy our time with the otters without worrying about the dog. I highly recommend Stephany.

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.
