“Susan did a great job taking care of our two dogs while we were away. We felt totally confident in her ability to care for our pets. I highly recommend Susan for your pet care needs!”
“Janine was great! I loved that she shared updates and pictures. She came to check in on Magnus for me when I had to go to an all day training and my partner was out of town. I know Magnus loved breaking up his quiet day with Janine.”
“Fallon is amazing! She is so great with my cat. She provides very detailed updates & sends cute pictures. I never have to worry when she is taking care of my baby! I highly recommend Fallon’”
“Anna is so sweet and takes great care of my babies! She’s my go to sitter when I’m out of town. She’s sends so many pictures and gives detailed updates about my cats. She’s very attentive and alerted me of of possible medical issue with one of them. Thanks Anna!”
About: I am comfortable caring for dogs of different ages, energy levels, and sizes. Every dog has their different personality, routine, and needs, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I am a college student attending campus once a week with a very flexible part time work schedule. I can easily plan around pet care and provide consistent, reliable care that fits each pet's needs. I prioritize safety, comfort, and clear communication with every pet in my care. I follow each pet's routine and any instructions provided by their owner. I provide plenty of supervision, attention, exercise, and affection so pets feel safe and cared for while their parents are away.
“Thorough and detail-oriented. Follows directions exactly, but also figures out what's needed. My shy, elderly kitties are well taken care of when I'm away and I hope to book Madison anytime I travel!”
“Yeji took great take of Bankrupt in past two weeks. My daughter and I are highly appreciated for that! In the last day, she was very considerate and promised to back up to provide extra care if our flight back was delayed. She also helped bring a strayed cat in our community to a shelter. That is a great deed.”
“Amanda was great! She was super communicative and flexible and took good care of my boy. She even cleaned up his giant mess when he knocked over a bottle of olive oil (which would have been quite awful to come home to after vacation!) I would definitely recommend her and use her cat sitting services again!”
About: I've taken care of a dog in various formats since I was 14 years old. Currently I have three dogs that I have rescued and raised from various experiences where without me, they would have ended up worse off. I have extensive knowledge in pet care, wellbeing and injuries to keep a dog safe, happy and in a loving home. I've made it a point to understand dog nonverbal communication so that I can identify issues as they arise and keep my and your pets safe. My wife and I work opposite schedules most of the week meaning someone is home most of the day. I am an early riser often starting my day at 5am where I handle pet care until I leave for work around 7:30am. My wife takes over care until I return from work at 5pm and this is how our schedule runs Tuesday through Thursday. Monday and Friday we work the same shift so our pups will be unsupervised from 10am-5pm but are left in safe environments with plenty of mental stimulation and given potty breaks at 10am and extended breaks at 5pm when I arrive home. I am home all day on the weekends to take care of pet needs. I have a fenced in backyard that the dogs are free to play in all day with my other pups who are very friendly to other dogs. We have dog crates already set up in the home that are used on as needed basis and lots of mental stimulation toys like kongs, puzzles and treat dispensing toys. For my dogs they eat twice a day in the morning and night and are allowed unlimited (supervised through security cameras and frequent checks) backyard time, where there is water and a dog house to cool off. The dogs get walked on a rotating schedule throughout the week. In others homes I am sure to follow the schedule of the owner and ensure the wellbeing of your pet.
“Bronte meets expectations and follows directions when it comes to caring for the cats. I enjoy getting the photos while I’m out of town, it puts me as ease that the cats are being cared for.”
About: I went to college for Veterinary Technician for 4 years and have a bachelors degree. I worked in an animal hospital for 3 years as a veterinary technician. I have 3 wonderful dogs of my own. I love dogs and I know I will take the absolute best care of your dogs just like they’re my own! They will be loved and spoiled and have an amazing experience with me! I’m your girl! This is my full time job! I have a large fenced back yard where they can go to the bathroom and play. On my days off I like to bring them to the dog park to get some exercise. If your dogs stay with me they will be with me majority of the time and have a fun time at my house! I have 3 sweet pups that will keep your fur baby entertained. I make sure water is always available to the pups and feed them on a regular feeding schedule! I’m also able to administer any oral/injectable medications!
About: I have had pets since I was young, and until I had to move away for college I was the primary care giver for both a cat and a dog. I loved ensuring that my pets were happy and healthy. As a waitress I work mostly at night, so I will be mostly available in the mornings and afternoons. However, on my days off I will be available at all times if the day. My top priority will always be the comfort of you and your pets, no matter the service. I will always put your pets needs first.
“Haile responded on very short notice and was great with my cat, Joseph. She sent photos and updates which made me feel very comfortable and gave me peace of mind. I would absolutely recommend her to anybody looking for a sitter.”
About: **PLEASE NOTE, I do not have a 6’ fence. We have a standard chain link fence. Fence jumpers are not accepted. I have had a dog since I was 19 (now 45). I love dogs and have taken in strays and nursed them to health. I have experience with small to large dogs. We have a large fenced in back and front yard for your dog to run around. We also love to cuddle. I work from home and have time to let your dog out and get some play time. We also live near a big park where we can take walks. We have a dog who is crate-trained. All dogs sleep in a crate overnight, which I provide. During the day, dogs are free to walk around both inside and outside. All you need to provide is their food and any comfort toys/blankets. I provide dog bowls
“I am very pleased with the service received for Kash. He was well taken care of and notifications and pictures of him on a daily were appreciated. I will definitely be booking Shakiyla again for any pet services needed in the future. Thank you 😊”
“Samantha is awesome with my pets. She has come by for last minute drop ins and has always been reliable, friendly, and kind. Would highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodlawn
Alani was extremely responsive and professional throughout the process. She sent frequent updates and provided excellent information after each check in. I will be requesting her first anytime I need pet sitting in the future, and I would highly recommend her to anyone reading this.
I cannot stop talking about how great Helen is, really. Coda is going through his teenage year and he can be a handful but Helen is so good at what she does that she has brought different toys to redirect Coda's overly excitment and has reached out to us on how to best deal with his jumping. I am so greatful that we found Helen. Codas just loves her so much.
Amanda took such good care of our pets while we were away that they seemed disappointed that we had returned. I really think they were waiting for her to come back and spoil them. Amanda could not have been more professional, dependable, and attentive. She sent pictures and kept us informed about her visits. We are very picky when it comes to caring for our pets. Amanda exceeded all expectations. She is the best! Thank you Amanda!
Mia was fantastic! She was super easy to coordinate with and came for a quick meet and greet before the scheduled time, so we were easily on the same page. Besides taking great care of my cat's basic needs, she spent time and clearly did a great job giving some social/play time. I could tell when I got home from my trip my cat was calm and relaxed and not dealing with any separation issues. Would 100% recommend Mia!
Lorraine took amazing care of my two cats while I was away. She shared really helpful updates throughout the trip and was especially attentive when she noticed a concern with one of my cats. I really appreciated how communicative, thoughtful, and reliable she was, and I felt much better knowing they were in such good hands. I would absolutely book with her again!
Iman was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Ammo. She was always on time, extremely attentive, and provided detailed updates after every walk, which gave me great peace of mind. She was also very considerate about the weather, always reaching out during extreme heat or rain to make sure Ammo would be safe and comfortable before heading out. She followed every instruction I left perfectly and clearly cared about Ammo's well being as if he were her own. I couldn't have asked for a better experience, and I will definitely be booking with Iman again. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and professional dog walker!
We’ve had Olivia do drop in visits with our two dogs twice now so far and she has been amazing! She is very responsive and has been extremely helpful with us learning rover. Our two dogs are usually not the best with new people and are reactive, but she has been absolutely wonderful with them.

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.
