“Jessica did a great job with my cat buddies. Lots of good communication and check in pictures. Thank you for making me have no worries about them while I was away. I will be happy to have her help me again in the future.”
“Katlyn came and met my fur babies a week before. We used her services for 3 days and she made sure to send pictures, play and love on them. She was available for a last minute change in needs. Very friendly and even bought in a package, from the front porch. So glad we found her & will be utilizing her again!”
About: I’ve had animals my whole life, from smaller breeds to large. I’ve worked at two dog daycares before, working with training dogs; grooming( nail trimming and bathes). My love for animals is very endless, they are better than people sometimes XD! I care for my own animals, so pet care is already a part of my daily routine! I work part time, otherwise my attention is focused on my fur babies at home. My apartment complex has an designed area with ample room for activities that my small dog enjoys and could be offered to my clients. I am flexible, and am great at accommodating to the many different personalities that animals may possess. I have worked at multiple dog boarding facilities that have allowed me to practice caring for many dogs at once and assessing each of their needs individually and accordingly.
About: My family has always had dogs. I am more a dog person than I am a person type of person. I have a 6 year old Shih-Tzu and she is the cutest thing on four paws. I really enjoy teaching her new tricks and I would love to do the same with your pup when I meet them. I have a dog who I walk literally every day. Helping others out who can't get their dogs out for a walk would be my pleasure. I enjoy the fresh air and the time to step away from my computer and work. Also, I would love to do most of this work on the weekends which I have open availability during. I will not be boarding any pets. But if you hire me to check in on your pup I will follow any and every instruction you give. I understand that a stranger coming into their space is alarming for most dogs and I want to make sure they are comfortable with me. I would even love to meet your pup pre-hire so that they are familiar with me.
“Darayell has been so wonderful! She’s punctual, a great communicator, animal lover and goes the extra mile. She picked up our mail, cleaned any messes or vomit, follows instructions, has a calming presence, friendly and is overall a great person to work with. Our cats Evie and Leo look healthy, happy and at peace when we got home - so much better than boarding them. We’re grateful for her service and the extra support. We will definitely book her again for our next trip. 10/10 Recommend!”
About: I've had pets my entire life and have been through every stage, from bottle babies to seniors, and I've never met an animal I didn't love. I have volunteered in shelters throughout the years, so I have plenty of experience cleaning up after animals and dispensing medication, when necessary. I work in academia, so my schedule is very flexible, and I can check in on pets and go for walks in the middle of the day. I work in academia, so aside from the odd meeting, I have a flexible schedule. I also have the freedom to work from home when needed, so I can be home when we have visitors. I have four cats, so I can only host cats in the house. We have rooms with closed doors where my cats aren't allowed, so any visitors can have their own space if needed. At a client's house, I'll gladly stop by for an informal visit to meet your pet, learn their routine, and collect keys.
“Jacqueline did a great job checking on 5 dogs for me! It was super last minute and she was willing to come over to do a meet and greet and then let them out the very next day. I can tell they were very happy and had a great time with her.”
About: Hello! My name is Amberly. If you are looking for someone to love on your pets, look no further. Even though I devoted my education to assisting with the health and care of people, my first love has always truly been with animals. I simply can't imagine life without them! I have successfully fostered multiple dogs through Caitlyn's Vine of Bravery Dog Rescue and Lifeline Animal Shelter. I also have experience with walking dogs and have received many positive reviews including being extra caring! I truly believe a life without animals is not a life at all! Any animal in my care will be treated like my own child. If you need someone to care for your pet while you work or vacation, please give me a try! I work a flexible schedule as I partially work from home running my own business and pick up at the hospital from time to time I live in a townhome with a senior chihuahua and a small fenced in patio. My neighborhood is dog friendly and is nice for walks. Dogs would be with hanging out with me at home or hanging out at a fun park somewhere. When I have to briefly leave, I do prefer either crating or leaving them in my room with water and pads.
“Lindsey was amazing with my dog! She always made sure my girl was comfortable, happy, and well taken care of. She went above and beyond every single visit and kept me updated with messages and photos so I always knew how she was doing. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in such good hands. I highly recommend Lindsey and will definitely be booking with her again!”
About: I have a husky mix and a German shepard, two tuxedo cats and one orange cat. I have always lived with pets and make sure to take the upmost care of them. I am a full time student. I take some classes online so I am pretty much home as much as possible. Gives me a ton of time for walks and play time. My care depends on the pet. Each pet needs are different. My German Shepard demands to play fetch 10 times a hour. My tux cat wants pets 2 times a day ish. I pay attention to each pet so they get the care they want/need.
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is my extensive experience and dedication to personalized pet care. I have a proven track record of watching my friends' and neighbors' pets for both long and short periods, ensuring they receive the best attention and care while their owners are away. My hands-on approach, genuine love for animals, and commitment to their well-being make me a trusted and reliable choice for pet sitting and dog walking. Pet care seamlessly fits into my daily and weekly routine. I make home visits to care for pets both before and after work, ensuring they receive the attention and care they need throughout the day. On my off days, I dedicate extra time to provide extended care and companionship. This flexible schedule allows me to be consistently available and attentive, making sure every pet feels comfortable and well-cared for. I care for pets primarily in my clients' homes, providing a familiar and comfortable environment for them. I stay at the client's home for a specified amount of time, during which I play with the pets, feed them, and walk them if needed. I ensure they receive the attention and care they need, monitoring their well-being and making sure they feel secure and happy. My goal is to maintain their routine and comfort, providing peace of mind for pet owners while they are away.
About: I've been taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old. Which has lead me into the field of being a veterinarian technician. Which I have been doing going on 6 years now. Now looking for another aspect of the vet field of helping your fur baby or babies. I do work full time but have Friday-sunday off as my regular schedule. So I'm fully available to take care or stay overnight for pet care for those quick weekend getaways. I'm very aware of anything a pet maybe going through with my certification as a veterinarian technician . I'm very aware of how to give meds and etc.
“Ruth was great with our babies! She really saved us in a last minute pinch. All dogs were safe and happy and she was on time for all her check ins and kept great communication with us. Thanks again Ruth!”
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Woodstream
I was in a bind where I needed a pet sitter for an unexpected situation and my flight was leaving in a few hours. Then in came Marc. I knew Marc was going to be a good pet sitter when he met my 2 rabbits. I keep my 2 rabbits separated because they are both males and the one picks on the other and bullies him. So when I introduced Marc to my 2 boys I put them together to see what Marc would do. Sure enough my one buck started picking on my other rabbit and started humping his head. Marc responded calmly by noticing the interaction and calmly separating them without me saying a word. After that I knew my boys would be in good hands. While I was away, my one pet was a bad boy and knocked over the Christmas tree and got into the trash. Marc thought nothing of it and responded with the upmost expertise. Marc grew up on a farm and you can tell he has years of experience with all types of animals. I would recommend Marc to take care of you dog, cat, rabbit, horses, or ANY other pet you may have.
Ivanis was amazing. She took the best pictures and video of the kitty. She was on time and stayed with him for the entire drop in time.! I tend to leave a lot of instructions and most of them were followed to the letter. Will definitely be the first person I ask for help whenever we need it!!

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 Rover's Trust & Safety page.
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 Rover Guarantee, 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 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.
