“We had a great experience with Ireland. She was professional, responsible, and a great communicator. She took lots of photos and took the time to write up a detailed post-visit report. Our cats loved her and we've already rebooked her for our next trip!”

About: Trusting someone with your pets can take time. I have lived in the Dayton area for over 20 years and have had the privilege of caring for my neighbors through pet sitting, baby sitting, and house sitting. Community is a foundation in my life, and I hope this quality aids in the development of trust with you! I have a very flexible remote job, and thus can make time in my schedule to meet your needs. Pet care is a priority, which means it is at the top of my list. I possess a deep, intuitive understanding of animal behavior, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. I can naturally sync with each pet's rhythm, whether they need high-energy playtime or a quiet, comforting space. I can also provide basic health support, medication administration, and wellness monitoring for your pet.
“Abigail responded immediately to our request for cat sitting visits and scheduled a meet & greet in a timely manner. She made two daily visits, per our request, and handled our detailed instructions with ease. We were very pleased with the care she provided our cats while we were away over the Thanksgiving holiday. Thank you, Abigail!”

“We've booked Emily twice and she has been so attentive and caring towards our 4 animals! Her check ins are detailed and she followed the instructions laid out for our needy band of fur babies. She will be our go-to!! Thank you so much Emily!!”

About: Years of animal care with dogs and cats. Im an animal lover and will make sure your baby is taken care of. I have a soft spot for seniors of all kinds and experience with animals that require special needs! I am working on building my career, which makes my schedule super flexible! Such a open schedule means that I can take care of your fur-baby at times that are best for you and most convenient for your life. Unfortunately I can not offer boarding in my own home, although I do offer dog walking, drop ins or house sitting services. I pledge to treat your home and little one as if they were my own! I understand the importance of a schedule and a safe environment.
“Anna took great care of my cat who doesn’t do well being left alone. Katy was calm and happy when I returned. Anna kept in touch and sent pictures. My house was clean when I returned. Anna’s awesome and I highly recommend her if you looking for a cat sitter.”

“Atlas was great! We needed someone to spend quality time with our kitties while we were away for 10 days and she took excellent care of the cats and our home. Her communication and pics allowed us to not worry and truly enjoy our trip. We will be using Atlas for future trips for sure!”

About: With over 7 years of experience as a pet sitter, I've cared for a wide range of dogs and cats, providing tailored, compassionate care to each one. I’m known for my attention to detail, ensuring pets’ needs are met with precision, from feeding and exercise to administering medications. Trustworthy and kind, I build strong, lasting relationships with both pets and owners. Whether it's a playful dog or a laid-back cat, I offer peace of mind by creating a safe, comfortable environment. If you're looking for a reliable, animal-loving sitter, I’m here to care for your pets as if they were my own. Pet care is an integral part of my daily and weekly routine. Despite working full-time, I make it a priority to ensure pets receive the attention and care they need. I’m typically able to let dogs out during my lunch breaks, providing them with a bathroom break, some playtime, or a quick walk to keep them happy and comfortable. For house sitting, I dedicate my evenings and weekends to being fully present with the pets I care for, ensuring they feel safe and loved in their home environment. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to their routines and provide consistent, reliable care. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I treat both the pets and the home with the utmost care and respect, as if they were my own. I understand the trust that comes with inviting someone into your home, and I hold myself to a high level of responsibility. I ensure your pets are well cared for, following their daily routines for feeding, walking, playtime, and any special needs they may have. At the same time, I maintain your home’s cleanliness and security, handling tasks like bringing in the mail, watering plants, and ensuring everything is in order. My goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away, knowing both your home and pets are in good hands.

About: I have many animals myself, 4 cats and one big dog- he’s a boxer and his name is Brutus, he’s a very sweet boy. I’ve been in charge of feeding and walking my animals since I can even remember! I’m currently working part time, I’m attending college here soon part time as well but I will have plenty of time to care for your fur babies! As of right now I’m available on weekends after 11am! I will take care of your pets (and your home) just like I do with mine, even better! I love animals and would love to meet yours!

About: I have always grown up with at least one doggie at home and I have recently adopted an orange rescue cat who is now one year old! If any of my family is out of town, I am trusted to take care of their pets. This includes taking them on walks, accommodating to specialized diets, and spending quality time with them! I currently am enrolled in classes for the evening and will work part time. My schedule is very flexible as I am not scheduled daily! I insure each pet will receive care tailored to their unique needs. I am careful to double check all doors are closed and gates are locked. If any special rules are required to keep your pets comfortable, I will be sure to see them through.
About: I’ve grown up around dogs and animals my entire life and have had over 12 years of daily hands on experience caring for my own dog. I’ve also helped friends and neighbors with walking, feeding, potty breaks, and drop in care. I currently work with children, so I’m responsible, patient, dependable, and comfortable handling different personalities and needs. I treat every pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I am only available after 7:00 PM. I am a student, an intern, and I work part time. Therefore my availability changes a lot throughout the year. I greet the pets by petting them as soon as I enter the clients home. I will then let them out and will wait until they are by the door to let them in. I also actively supervise the animals and don’t let them leave my sight while being on the clients property. I make sure they are inside the clients home and their cages if one is required before leaving the clients property.
“Peanut was a life saver. We have just had the most chaotic and stressful move ever. He took care of our gems for a month instead of the original week. We were so grateful to not have to keep moving them around. Flash has separation anxiety and Gremlin lost his only known "mom" cat in Nov.”

About: I’ve been caring for animals for most of my life and started pet sitting for neighbors at 12 years old. I have experience with dogs, cats, reptiles, amphibians, and other small pets. I’ve volunteered walking dogs and caring for cats in animal shelters and am comfortable administering medications and caring for both young and senior pets. As a pet owner myself, I understand the importance of dependable care, communication, and maintaining your pet’s routine while you’re away. Pet care fits well into my routine. I work part-time at a café, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule for pet sitting, drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays. Outside of work, I prioritize providing attentive care, exercise, enrichment, and companionship to the pets I care for. I communicate regularly with owners and do my best to maintain each pet’s normal routine while they’re away. My priority is always keeping pets safe, comfortable, and maintaining their normal routine. I carefully follow all owner instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medications, and household rules. During visits, I make sure pets have secure access to appropriate areas, fresh water, and plenty of attention. I provide regular photo and video updates so owners can feel confident their pets are receiving excellent care while they are away. I am experienced with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, reptiles, and amphibians, and I adapt my care to each pet’s individual needs and personality.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Alpha
My family is new to the area and had to find a new sitter for our two cats, after having had the same sitter for many years. Annika took excellent care of our cats - sending updates regularly that showed they were getting lots of attention and play while we were gone. The updates showed a lot of attentiveness and we felt reassured our cats (and home) were in good hands while gone. So happy to now have a new permanent sitter when we are gone!

Emily helped me transport my cats after surgery, and she was absolutely wonderful! She was incredibly punctual, gentle, and took great care of my cats throughout the entire ride. Sending your pets with someone can be stressful, but Emily’s communication made me feel completely at ease. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
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 .

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.
