“I enjoyed meeting Jen, and was encouraged that my two ginger cats came up to interact with her immediately, which is unusual for one of them. I felt very secure in leaving my cats in Jen's care and will use her again. When we will be away for an elongated day, we will contact Jen to check in on our Black Lab and will share her contact information with extended family in the area. We were very pleased with the personal nature of the service, and will schedule Jen again.”
“Mellony was a perfect cat sitter for our cats while we were away for a week. She took great care of our two cats by feeding them, cleaning up after them, and making sure everything was in order. We originally book one 30-minute visit per day, but Mellony generously offered to come twice a day for 15 minutes each visit so that both cats would get extra attention-without changing any additional fee. We truly appreciate her kindness and dedication. It gave us peace of mind knowing our cats were in such caring and reliable hands. I highly recommend Mellony and would definitely give her 5stat rating for her outstanding service! Thank you Mellony!!”
“Caitlyn is great! Very quick responses, set up a meet and greet within a day, and was on time and sent pictures for each visit. Would for sure book again and probably will for our next vacation! Highly recommended”
“Hayley went above and beyond! One of my dogs had some GI distress while we were away—Hayley completely cleaned up the area, even rolled up my rug!! She was amazing, I wasn’t anticipating any issues so I didn’t leave out all the cleaning supplies etc—-she was very resourceful and I felt completely confident in her assessments of the situation. We eliminated the offending item and dogs got back on track! She was amazing!!!”
About: I've adopted many dogs, but started pet sitting for my much needed "fix" when my kids left the nest and couldn't help if i got another dog while I worked. I have dog sat at other people's house, at my house and do love senior dogs as much as young ones. I'm now retired and want to love on dogs. I just retired so i'm quite flexible. I love walking in general, and would enjoy the company of a pooch or 2. I'm good for just the day, overnight or extended needs. I always considered my own dogs as being family members. That said, they are allowed on the furniture. I have a small fenced back yard if your pooch doesn't want to walk in the rain or needs a late evening potty break. During the daytime, I like to walk a lot so your place or mine to give your dog's legs a stretch. I always have dogs on leash, no free running dogs are allowed in my development. I do belong to the Lower Makefield dog park if you are local and want to add me to your account to bring your dog there.
About: I have been taking care of dogs for 10+ years . I treat all dogs like they are my own and make sure all their needs are taken care of. My weekends and nights are wide open to able to take care of your pup. I walk daily and love having a companion with me. I treat my own dogs as family and will treat other pets the same. Also follow owners instructions that pertain to a specific animal's needs.
“Can't say enough good things about Harry and Kerri! They are so thoughtful and really understand each pet and their quirkiness and needs. We are so fortunate to have found them to help take care of our dog Harry when needed!”
“Reina watched our dog and cat for 8 days. She showed up on time and never missed a check in with our animals. They were very happy with Reina and comfortable around her. We would definitely book Reina again!”
“Gianna was very communicative and visited at the agreed upon times providing some photo updates. We were very relieved to have Gianna take care of our pup for his first full day away from us!”
About: I’ve taken care of my sister’s dogs and helped with feeding them, giving them water, letting them outside, and just keeping them company. I’m really comfortable around dogs and enjoy spending time with them. I’m patient with them and always make sure they’re safe and comfortable. My schedule is pretty flexible during the week. I’m available Monday through Friday and can work around different times depending on what you need. I’m happy to plan ahead too. I’m used to being around dogs and know how important it is to make sure they’re comfortable. I’ll treat your pet with the same care I would my own and always keep an eye on them. I’m also bilingual and speak English and Spanish!
About: With a lifetime of experience caring for both cats and dogs—plus my own furry friend—I offer a deep understanding of pet needs and behaviors. Growing up with cats and looking after family dogs has given me valuable skills in providing loving, attentive care that ensures your pets feel happy and comfortable while you're away. I work from home Monday to Friday, allowing me to provide flexible day care for your pets. I’m also available for overnight stays on weekends with advance notice, ensuring your pets receive attentive care and companionship whenever you need it. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I live in a spacious apartment with ample room for your pet to explore and play. My friendly small dog is great with other pets, creating a welcoming environment where your furry friend will feel secure and at ease.
About: I have been a pet owner, foster mom, rescue volunteer, and assistance dog trainer for more than two decades. I am a teacher, mom of four grown children, with too much time on my hands and I need some furry friends! I also love to exercise and to walk every day. I am a quiet, introverted person, an avid walker and reader, holder of two masters degrees, and a person of high integrity. I can be trusted in your home. I have experience with very old and very young dogs and cats, with bottle-feeding, administering meds, eye-drops, and even administering subcutaneous fluids. I have puppy trained 7 golden retrievers/standard poodles to be assistance dogs for autistic children which means I took a six-week puppy training course with each pup. I am referred to by my friends and family as the Dog Whisperer. I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I am a preschool teacher (leave my house at 8 and return home by 4.) I like to spend as much of my free time with furry friends. I have been fostering dogs and cats for decades and have a lot of experience sharing my home with other people’s pets. Again, I believe in pet in-loco parentis - pet parent in your absence! I have yet to find an animal I couldn't love. I care for my own pets as if they were my sons and daughters, much to my real children's annoyance!
About: I have taken care of a lot of dogs over the years but now I'm looking for a new adventure with Rover. I promise the best for your dog I currently have a job but having another dog around the house or a dog to go and walk would not be an inconvenience at all We have a Yorkie at home and she pretty much does whatever she wants. Your dog would be treated exactly the same. She gets along with other dogs very well and knows how to handle herself around larger dogs
About: We are a young couple with a lot of love for furry friends of all kinds! I have grown up with cats my whole life, and Raul has grown up with dogs his whole life. Together, we have fostered several rabbits in our home and successfully found them their furrever homes. We both have studied animal behavior in graduate school and have experience working with many different kinds of animals. I am a PhD student at Princeton University, so I have a very flexible schedule during the week. Raul is a middle school teacher, so his work days typically end early. We both are typically very free on the weekends and would love to have a pet to take care of and entertain! We can likely accommodate small pets in our home, as we have done for previous foster rabbits. For pets we take care of in a client's home, we are happy to respect your guidelines and preferences! We are always happy to send pictures and updates to give you the peace of mind that your pet is happy and healthy.
About: I have always had pets everything from bunnies, ferrets, hamsters cats and dogs.

I have a fenced yard and two small dogs. My guys have the run off the house. I have a ten year old who loves dogs. I don’t leave the dogs outside unless I am with them.

“Laura was incredibly responsive and communicative from the start, and she was willing to take care of my dog on very short notice. My dog was well cared for and happy when I returned. I truly appreciate her flexibility and professionalism. Highly recommend!”
About: Since 2010, I have always owned two dogs at a time. I love animals, love meeting new pets, and have a lot of patience. I would love to get to know your fur baby. 🙂 I am available 4 days/week, including every weekend. I can do walks, feeds, drop ins, play time, whatever your current needs may be. I have a lot of flexibility on my available days. I have a large fenced in yard if your dog likes to run and requires exercise. I also have an XL crate in my home, that my dogs no longer need, but could be used if your pup would prefer an enclosed area for sleeping.
About: As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, I understand that pets are family. I have hands on experience caring for dogs of all sizes, ages, and energy levels, including daily walks, feeding, playtime, administering basic medications, and providing plenty of love and attention. I have owned a Golden Retriever, yorkie, two Great Danes, and a pitbull. I am comfortable with everything from energetic exercise sessions to gentle care for smaller breeds. I pride myself on being reliable, responsible, and attentive to each pet's unique needs. Whether your dog needs a long walk, a quick potty break, or companionship while you're away, I will treat them with the same care and affection I give my own pets. My goal is to ensure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while giving owners peace of mind. I do work Monday through Friday from 9-1 which is about 15 minutes away from my house, but my hours are very flexible to where I can be home during the day prices just may vary if your dog needs someone home all day! I have a fenced in yard, I have a pool if your dog is a water lover, lots of treats, I used to have many dogs but as of now I only have a yorkie in the house along with my two younger siblings who grew up with dogs and love dogs and my two parents.
“I had to book within 2 days of leaving for a last minute trip. Derek got back to me and accepted the booking right away. He was very communicative throughout the process and took great care of my dog and cat. I definitely plan on booking with Derek in the future.”

Sarah did a wonderful job caring for my two munchkins. Both of my cats are senior and the oldest, who is 17 and takes insulin LOVED HER. She was super attentive, thorough, on time, and I loved the after visit summaries that she left. I will most definitely recommend her service and hire again. Thank you Sarah for taking such wonderful care of 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.
