“Emily was just wonderful! Our birds took to her right away. She provided excellent care, sent tons of pictures and communicated frequently. She was so attentive and caring, provided a lot of interaction and took care of them so well. They just loved her. We will definitely use Emily again!”
About: Growing up, there were always animals in the home that I would help take care of. We had 2 birds, 3 dogs (an old Shih Tzu, a German Shepherd, and a young Golden Retriever), along with barn cats. I would help my aunt take care of them and was trusted to pet sit whenever she was out of town. Now that I have moved out, I have an adorable 2 year old cat of my own. For a summer break, I also worked at a pet store, caring for a variety of animals like hamsters, bunnies, reptiles, and birds. I am an engineering student and have an on-campus job, but I am very flexible in my availability! I can do most nights except Monday and Thursday, along with room for visits during the day. I have always had pets in my home and I love to spoil them! I will treat your pets with the same love, and your home with respect!
“Cynthia was amazing with my cat while I was away. She was reliable, caring, and kept me updated the whole time, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. My cat was happy and comfortable when I got back, and it was clear Cynthia genuinely cared for him. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter.”
“Kayleigh took great care of my house and cats! She was quick to reply to texts, sent photos of the cats, and left my house in great condition. She picked up my booking at the last minute, and was a delight to work with. I fully recommend Kayleigh.”
About: I have grown up in vet clinics, shelters, and surrounded by animals. I can take care of reptiles, rodents, insects, farm animals, and companion animals. I have access and close relationship with a veterinarian. I also have four dogs, three cats, tons of reptiles, and farm animals that I take care of. I’m currently a college student and I have a lot of free time so I will be able to care for your animals! My schedule is flexible for the most part and I have no other commitments like work. I will care for your animals like they are my own. I can follow step by step instructions or loosely written instructions. I am willing to clean up messes created by your pets.
“Ashley was absolutely amazing!! We had to push back our trip a few days and she was super flexible about it all! She made sure my little fur baby was well taken care of and loved while I was away. I got tons of pictures of him having a good time and getting and giving affection! I absolutely recommend Ashley for any of your animal needs!”
About: I have genuine love for pets. I’ve taken care of dogs all sizes since I started dog sitting for friends and family. I’m patient, attentive, and make sure every pet feels safe and happy while you're away. I provide plenty of playtime and affection, and communicate regularly with owners to keep them updated. Your pets will be in caring hands! I’m available to take care of your pet mostly outside of my class times. On Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, I can help before 8 am, between 10 am and 2 pm, and after 5 pm. On Tuesday and Thursday, since I only have one morning class, I’m free for the rest of the day to give your pet attention, feed them, and make sure they get exercise and care. I’m an organized person and like to be on schedule, making sure I know my timing for the day ahead by planning for the day the night before. I care for pets by creating a safe and comfortable environment. I check keep the space clean and follow all care instructions closely. I communicate openly with pet owners and give pets plenty of gentle attention to make them feel secure and loved.
About: I've always wanted to care for and work with all kinds of animals since a young girl. I have trained horses, dog/cat sat for friends and family, and have loved spending any and all free time with animals since I was 7 years old. I'm currently a student at UARK studying psychology, and hoping to become an equine assisted therapist someday in the future :) I would love to spend my free time throughout the week caring for your critters, aiming for at least a few hours a week on dog walking! I will always put the animal and their owner's needs, safety, and happiness above all else, and do everything I can to make it a comfortable experience for all parties involved. Of course I am also happy to discuss any extra needs of your households and of your pets.
“Marilyn did a great job communicating ahead of time and during her visits. She sent lots of pictures of our cats, their food being filled, and their water running. This gave us peace of mind while we were away! I’d definitely recommend her for anyone’s fur babies!”
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for several years for family, friends, and neighbors. I’m happy to complete walks, administer medications, clean litter boxes, and give your babies any specific attention that you require I’m currently about to start the school year, so I am available on weekends, evenings, or early mornings. Depending on the time of year, I may have more availability. Let’s discuss what works best for your needs! I prefer to complete drop-in services as needed due to having fur babies that are very structured in their own routines. Contact me and we can discuss logistics!
About: I’ve taken care of family & friend’s horses, dogs, cats and even a bird! Most of the cats I look after are senior cats, however I also care for dogs too! (A St. Bernard, 2 daschunds, a pitbull, and 2 Rottweilers, just to name a few breeds) I’m a pretty adventure-driven person and empathetic to animals. The people I surround myself with, love to travel (as do I) and often times their dogs and cats need a reliable & established sitter so I do tend to travel out of state to pet sit and housesit when needed. I’m currently an independent artist & retired wrestler on the move to Arkansas from Kentucky. I don’t have any pets of my own but I enjoy taking care of animals of loved ones and neighbors. As I start this new chapter of my life, I’m looking to create art more while a flexible but full time job of pet sitting. You’re welcome to provide me with care instructions but I mostly just talk to animals like they’re small children learning. I sing songs sometimes when I play with toys or when we go on walks, but especially during bathing(if necessary/requested) a cat/dog to help calm their nerves. Cats tend to love cuddling with me and I love taking active dogs for walks on nature trails or car rides.
About: What sets me apart from other house sitters is my patient, loving approach to every dog I meet. I have hands-on experience with a wide range of breeds—from tiny Chihuahuas to large German Shepherds—and I understand how to tailor care to each dog’s unique personality and needs. I’m confident in basic training and redirecting unwanted behavior using positive reinforcement. With enough treats and consistency, I truly believe there’s nothing a dog can’t learn! Pet care fits naturally into my daily life—me and my roommate share two cats, Lennox and Sylvia, and they definitely keep us on our toes! Lennox is always digging through the trash like he’s starving (even though they get two servings of wet food a day plus dry food), so I’m often cleaning up his little adventures. They’re totally spoiled, and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I love playing with them using lasers and feather toys—they’re a blast and bring a lot of joy and routine to my day. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I try to keep things as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel safe and comfortable. I follow feeding instructions carefully, make sure they get plenty of playtime and attention, and keep an eye on their behavior in case anything seems off. Whether it’s giving meds, scooping the litter box, or just hanging out on the couch for some cuddles, I treat every pet like they’re my own. I know how much animals thrive on routine and love, so I make sure they get both!

Breanna was great with my cat! It was the first time she had been left by herself overnight. Breanna made sure to keep me updated and sent plenty of pictures that put me at ease. She was great at communicating and responded very quickly. I will be booking her for any future drop-in visits☺️

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 .
