“Lauren took care of our kitty while we were away for 5 days. She came on the days we requested, made sure she had her fresh water and new food and had her litter scooped. She sent us pictures of her and reported how she did. Very happy!”
“I booked Kira at the last minute for my trip, and she was flexible. She did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and followed every instruction. I would definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!”
About: I get a lot of joy from taking care of them and making them happy while getting to know their personality. I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels! Animals are certainly a woman’s best friend! I am a current law student that will have class in the mornings and early afternoons most weekdays, but will be able to care for your pets any time outside of that! I would love to have a furry friend to walk or play with during study breaks and can’t wait to get to know your baby! My utmost priority in caring for your pets is ensuring they are as safe, comfortable and at ease as possible. Animals are so special and deserve the kindest treatment in all circumstances, even when they make a mistake. I will ask for specific preferences or instructions and follow them in regard to feeding, walking, play time, medicine, potty breaks and any form of crating. I want to help your pet as much as possible through the nerve-wracking time of being away from their owner!
About: I have experience working with animals in shelters since high school. I have also taken care of people's pets for long periods of time. I know how to handle animals with different personalities. I am very careful and attentive and will make sure pets get the appropriate care. I am currently enrolled in school full time, but I have time to drop by in the evenings and mornings if needed. I am also available on weekends. I cannot take pets into my home, as I live in a college dorm. However, I am happy to take care of pets in the owners' homes.
About: Hi! I’m Jake, a second-year law student at William & Mary Law School and an avid animal lover. I grew up in a home that always had at least three dogs, along with cats, so caring for animals has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Being around pets has always brought me so much joy, and I truly miss having them around every day. Since my roommates aren’t looking to have pets right now, Rover is the perfect way for me to spend time with amazing dogs and cats while helping owners feel confident that their pets are in great hands. As a law student, responsibility, reliability, and attention to detail are part of my daily life. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own—whether that means long walks, playtime, cuddles, or simply making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I take that responsibility seriously. I look forward to meeting you and your pets! I keep a structured schedule that makes it easy to plan pet care into my day. I enjoy taking breaks from studying to get outside for walks, exercise, and fresh air, so dog walks fit naturally into my routine. Whether it’s a quick potty break, a long walk, or spending time playing with your pet, I’m happy to provide them with the attention and care they deserve. I also have flexibility during mornings, evenings, and weekends, allowing me to accommodate a variety of schedules. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, and spending time with pets is one of my favorite ways to unwind from school while giving them plenty of love, exercise, and companionship. When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and stick to their normal routine. I carefully follow all care instructions, including feeding schedules, medications (if needed), exercise, and any specific preferences or routines your pet is used to. I make sure every visit includes plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and exercise based on your pet’s personality and energy level. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I’ll tailor my care to their individual needs. I also treat every home with the utmost respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as I found it. Communication is important to me, so I’ll send regular updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away.
About: My family has had dogs forever, ranging from small medium and large so growing up with all kinds of dogs has given me experience in how to handle any situation with any dog! I’m currently a college student and away from my dog at home and am looking for any way to have more interactions with pets. Also, my most recent dog is now 2 years old and I did the majority of training, so if there are any needs or wants for training while I am sitting, I am more than capable. I’m currently a full time student and on the William & Mary Varsity Men’s soccer team, however, I have many breaks throughout my day. The only block of the day I’m usually completely unavailable is from 2-6PM When caring for pets in clients homes you can expect the utmost respect for the home but also a willingness to learn how you usually handle your dog at home. Whether that is using the crate and having some more strict guidelines, or if it is a more relaxed environment.
“Miss Genevieve was great. She arrived every day that we booked, sent me photos and communicated with me to update how the kitties were doing. It was extremely comforting having her drop in while we were away. She also retrieved an Amazon package that contained Feliway plug-in for the cats and set that up for them. Truly thankful for her services.”
About: I have taken care of 2 neighbors pets a few years ago as well as i am fairly friendly to all pets i meet, and as well i have history of taking care of dogs since i started high school. I currently work part time right now so i can work on any day at any time you request given at a reasonable time from four to eight hours minimum, and that you give me a three day notice on any cancellation notice, and a day notice if you have any extended leave. I currently live at a family member’s house at this time but i have two dogs that i feed, water, groom, and take out for walks.
About: Ever sense I was a kid I've loved taking care of any animal under the sun, and I still do. When I got my first dog I was so excited and loved him no matter what. I am currently not working so I have all the time in the world for your pets. I am avaliable on weekdays at anytime and will give your pets the attention they want. I can give all of my attention to your pets and make them feel happy and excited or the opposite where both of us can relax and enjoy eachothers company.
About: What sets me apart is my blend of responsibility, energy, and empathy. As a former Division I athlete and current graduate student, I’ve learned how to manage time, stay calm under pressure, and give 100% to every commitment. I treat each pet like my own with patience, consistency, and care. I’m great with active dogs who need play and structure, but I’m also gentle and attentive with older pets who need a slower pace and extra comfort. Whether it’s sticking to a training routine or just making your dog feel safe while you’re away, I’m someone you and your pet can count on. Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I’m already active, organized, and thrive on structure. As a grad student and former athlete, I plan my days carefully and always make time for what matters including giving pets the attention and exercise they need. Whether it’s early morning walks, midday drop-ins, or evening playtime, I’m flexible and reliable. I genuinely enjoy being around animals, and spending time with them is a highlight of my day, not just a task on my list. When caring for pets in my client’s home, I focus on creating a calm, familiar environment by following their routine closely whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play preferences. I keep communication open with regular updates and photos, so you always know how your pet is doing. I’m respectful of your space and keep everything clean and organized. If I’m caring for pets in my own home, I make sure they have a safe, cozy, and supervised environment with plenty of attention, activity, and affection. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness above all.

“Marissa took care of my dog, Ally, on Christmas Eve. She was very reliable and not only took good care of Ally, but also brought a package in off the porch and sent a picture of a very happy pup. I can't recommend Marissa enough. I will be contacting her in the future.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Winston Terrace
Alex was an amazing, caring and considerate drop-in sitter for Willow during the time we were away. Willow looked fantastic upon return, and it was evident that she was well cared for. The photos and comments were appreciated and made us know that we had made the correct decision in choosing Alex as Willow's drop-in sitter. She is a kind, devoted animal loving individual, and it was a pleasure meeting 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.
