“Allie was amazing and I could not recommend her highly enough!! She took the best care of our 4 cats for 2 weeks while we were out of the country. One of our cats had recent major surgery and needs medications three times daily. She managed to give him his pills and oral liquid every day, which we ourselves sometimes struggle to get him to take! I was very nervous leaving him but was so reassured but how happy and comfortable he was with Allie. Our cats are all rescues and are very shy and nervous around new people, they often don't come out for a petsitter. All 4 of them came up to her for cuddles and were the most relaxed we've ever seen them with a new person. She clearly made a lot of effort spending time with them that they became so comfortable with her. Allie's communication was amazing and we came back to lovely clean litter trays and an emptied litter bin. We are so happy to have found someone that takes such great care of our fur babies!”
“Avery was excellent! She was right on time, followed our instructions perfectly, and was so kind to our golden retriever. We will certainly hire her again in the future.”
About: I have taken care of all kinds of pets. I love all fur babies and consider it a privilege to care for them. I will play with them and snuggle them and make sure they are well cared for.💕 I am a homemaker with a very flexible schedule and I have plenty of time to devote to the pets who I am caring for. I will give your pet lots of love and attention. I will follow any special instructions for your pet as you desire. I also have a wonderful fenced in backyard for extra fun playtime if they are staying at my house.
“Corey was great. She kept us informed about our kitten/cat while we were away over Thanksgiving, and everything was in great shape when we got home. We have a Houdini cat who can scoot out of the door quicker than anything, but she outsmarted him, saving him from coyotes who regularly dine on little cats in our neighborhood.”
About: Hey, my name is Maddie! I am a firefighter and absolutely love dogs! I have several years of experience with dogs of all kind. I currently have two dogs. One West Highland Terrier, Rocky and one Corgi, Rogue! Ever since I was little I have loved dogs more than most people! I even have experience with diabetic dogs as our oldest dog Coconut was diagnosed when he was 6 - I had to give insulin shots twice a day and he lived a long and happy life until he passed at 15. I promise your dog will be in great hands with me and I will treat them no less than my own! 🤍 I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know and love your animals! I will send photos, videos and check up texts throughout your dogs walk/ stay or when I go check on them. Thank you for choosing me! I am a firefighter and have a good amount of time off during the week. Looking to do some extra dog watching and care taking ❤️ I am very good with animals and love to bond with them. I enjoy playing with their favorite toys, taking them for walks or just enjoying some free snuggles!
“Margo took great care of my crazy Pup! She was very communicative and made sure he was thoroughly entertained and comfortable during her visits, which made me feel so at ease while I was away. The adorable pictures she sent were also a huge plus ☺️ She is definitely my go-to sitter from now on!!”
“Kimberly was, once again, a lifesaver while we were away for the holidays! She cared for our kitties so well and even went the extra mile to help out when one of them began vomiting a lot. We will be booking Kimberly as long as we can!”
About: I have taken care of my friend's dogs off and on for a few years, and I have found I excel at taking care of pets, the way owners take care of their own! I work from home and I'm able to give your dog my full attention. I work from home, so I am able to give give full attention to your pet as needed! My weekends are pretty quiet, But I do sometimes go out to play shows on the weekends. I'm fully capable of taking the dog out, feeding, walking, and other tasks as instructed. I'm unable to wash, groom, or cut nails. I simply don't have experience in those aspects
About: I’ve had cats and dogs my whole life and worked as a dog walker throughout college for four years. I’ve fostered nine cats, three of whom I loved so much they became permanent members of my family. These days I share my home with three cats and my shihpoo, Peanut, so I understand pets from every angle — but I care for clients in their own home, whether it’s daily walks, drop-in visits, or house-sitting. Your pet stays comfortable in their own space while getting attentive, experienced care. I structure my days around my pets, so caring for yours fits naturally into my routine. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, and boarding, and I keep a flexible schedule that lets me give your pet real attention rather than a rushed visit. Weekday mornings and evenings are usually open, along with some weekends. Since I care for pets in their own home, I focus on keeping their routine as normal as possible — sticking to their regular feeding, walk, and sleep schedule so there’s minimal disruption. My experience with three cats, a shihpoo, and nine foster cats means I’m comfortable reading animal body language, handling multi-pet households, and following specific instructions for feeding, medication, or behavioral needs.
About: I have handled dogs for the entirety of my life, all sizes from small to large, and with a fenced yard, they will have space!! I will be at home all the time, and will be able to give 100% attention to your animal while they are in my care. I have a fenced yard and two fur babies to keep your dog company. I can crate your animal if needed, but have space for your animal to explore
“Jessica was attentive, sincere, and happy to engage our cat above and beyond our expectations. We had just laid out for her to feed and make sure he got his pill, but she also spent time socializing, playing, and even cleaned out the cat box without us asking her to. We thought he loved us, until we saw the photos she sent from her visits. She won him over and surely made our absence more bearable for him. 11/10 will contact again next time we need a cat sitter!”
About: I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember. I think my first gig I was maybe 13??? (I'll be 40 this year.) I just remember walking into my neighbors house after I fumbled with the key and the cats being happy to see me. I have experience with senior cats and kittens alike, and also dog care from puppy to senior. I can administer oral medication in pill pouches but I don't like the forceful method. I can also help with topical medications as needed. I do have formal training in any of these areas just many years of helping take care of my own and others. I am working part time so I have plenty of time to help with all your pets needs and wants. Play time here we come! I do not have a fenced in yard but there is a park 3 miles from my house that is gorgeous for dog walks. I have an entire bedroom that has been converted into a work area for other animals or a guest bed can be set up if I have a human over. But cats can have tgeir own space and litter box in this room or if a dog is getting overwhelmed we can go sit in there and have quiet one on one time.
About: I’ve always enjoyed helping others care for their pets. Having two cats of my own so I know the stress of finding reliable care that will take all of the quirks and specifics our pets have seriously! I’ve been walking dogs since elementary school and have sat for family and friends, always happy to help feed, walk, and play with your pet to keep their schedule as if you never left! I hope I can get to know your pet and their needs! Weekends are the perfect time for me to spend a few days taking care of your pets! Wednesdays being a better day for short term like walks and playtime. I’m unfortunately unable to board at this time. I’m willing to stay in the house to provide overnight care, however I can accommodate you and your pet!

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Amelia
Exceptional! David took care of our two dogs & 3 cats during a short vacation for our family. He was available to us relatively last minute, handled our (at times) difficult pup with patience and excellent care (they became fast friends!), and kept us fully updated with check-ins and photos. And on the day of our return when our flight was delayed then cancelled, David accommodated two additional visits very literally at the last minute. We were so grateful for his availability and care! There’s not enough gratitude I could extend here and highly recommend his care. Thank you David, again, for going above and beyond for our crew!

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.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Amelia choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , 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 Meet & Greet .
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking.

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy.
