“Amanda is awesomeness incarnate. My two cats loved her! I know this because I got daily updates and pictures of the little monsters making faces that they only make when they're really comfortable. She was great with them, even when they misbehaved (and even though she ratted them out to me, they didn't hold it against her). She's a great communicator, and eased my mind so I could relax on vacatiron, knowing she had it all under control.”

About: I have taken care of multiple relatives dogs for as long as I can remember. I was responsible for feeding them (whether it was regular dog food or a special concoction), taking them out for walks, giving them pets and taking them to the park. I have mainly taken care of older dogs, but they were big and energetic! I also have grown up with a cats, Guinea pigs, fish and hermit crabs at one point! I’m currently a full time college student, but I have room in my schedule to take care of your animals and give them all the love and play they need! Growing up with animals, I am very receptive on how to take care of them. I have dog sat for multiple people and I have had cats my whole life! I will make sure your pet is comforted and well cared for in your home and I will make sure no harm comes to your animal or house.

Our cat was well cared for while we were away and it was such a relief knowing she was safe with Patricia! Our home was left clean and neat and I got many notes and pics with lots of details. She was awesome!! Thank you again Patricia!!!”

About: I have been around cats and dogs my whole life. I walk my dogs daily, feed them, administer pill medications, and of course love to cuddle them. I have taken care of my neighbors two dogs every weekend of summer for the last 4 years. I love meeting new dogs, gaining their trust, and taking care of them. I put a lot of time into taking care of my dogs, I look forward to putting the same care and effort into your pups while you are away! During the summer, I work retail part-time so I have plenty of time to stop by and care for your pets during the day. I have part time availability Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday I am free all day. I have a fenced in yard where I play with them and they go potty. I live on a road with a large hill and many curves, so when walking them on the road I am very aware and I follow all safety recommendations. I also often bring my dogs to the dog park in Milton, I would be happy to do that with your dog if you do not have a fenced in yard.

“Thank goodness for Jenna! She was able to accept the very last-minute task of dropping in on my two babies for a few days while I was out of town. My kitties warmed up to her way quicker than they have with other people in the past. She took very good care of them, and it made my work trip much easier - knowing they were in very good hands. I def recommend, and I will be a repeat customer! Thank you, Jenna!!”

About: I currently own an amazing certified Good Boy Austalian Cattle Dog and two snuggly cats. I have have always owned at least one pet, both cats and dogs since I was little. I have done a decent amount of pet sitting for neighbors and friends. I have even had to give oral meds to one dog I dog sat. If you have any questions, please ask! Dogs will always get at least a 15 minutes walk because my dog usually needs a longer one. I sometimes give my cats and dog breakfast and then usually give the dog a quick 15 walk in the morning before leaving for work at 7:30 am. I get back home around 3:00 pm and usually give my dog his actual long walk between 40 and 70 minutes depending on weather. I feed the animals and then have dinner and usually just relax and snuggle on the couch with at least one of the fur kids. I fit in other cleaning and what not in there but I always make it a point to walk my doggo and make sure they get snuggles since I am gone for a good portion of the day. I have room for a crate for a crate trained dog. I have a moderately sized backyard that is well fenced in. My dog is a counter surfer so we have baby gates for both the kitchen and the extra bedroom. The extra bedroom serves as the cat room so the cats have a dedicated space. Stuff can be adjusted if you have a cat not used to dogs, so they can have that entire room or vice versa our cats can go in there for a dog that is not cat friendly. We only live five minutes from Marbletown Animal Hospital of any emergencies arise needing urgent care if your vet is not available.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life, I have owned and cared for multiple breeds of dogs and cats, big and small, and been a pet sitter for friends and family on and off for the last 10 years. As a result of my experience as a pet parent and sitter I am very comfortable with most breeds. I also have limited experience training full grown dogs as well as puppies. I am available for walks, check-ins, or pet sitting every day. I am also available for boarding on a case by case basis. My work schedule allows me to be present for most of the day, so I can remain attentive and take plenty of walk and play breaks. During the times that I am gone I am able to crate them if that is your preference or they can have free access to the main part of the house and I will check in on them regularly through the doggie cams. I am able to dog sit in your home as well as in my own home, which has a large amount of indoor space that they can roam around in, as well as a partially fenced back yard that they can play in on a long leash with my supervision. I have plenty of time for walks and play breaks during the day. And during the few hours a day that I am out of the house, they can be crated, or they can roam around the main part of the house. I check in on them every half hour through the doggy cams set up in the house. I am comfortable walking, feeding, and if necessary, providing medication on the schedule and in the manner that you prefer.

About: I have always had animals in my house ranging from reptiles to kittens. Currently I have three dogs and two cats. Growing up with animals has taught me how to care for a wide range of breeds and temperaments. Along with caring for my own animals I regularly sit for family and friends. I also have worked in a pet store where I learned how to care for puppies and kittens properly in a wide range of breeds. Between caring for their health needs to how to properly groom certain breeds. I am excited to help with your pets needs! Pet care fits into my daily and weekly routine well. I work a flexible job remotely that allows me to step away from my computer as needed allowing me to care for your animals when needed! I will care for your pets with all the love and attention to detail. I have worked with dogs that are high energy and need long walks to older animals that simply need someone to hang out with. I will pay close attention to your details about how to care for your animal and also what your animal needs at the time.

Danielle did a great job taking care of Holly while we were away. She followed the detailed care instructions I provided closely, including Holly's feeding routine and Hydracare, and asked questions upfront to clarify anything she wasn't sure about. She showed up at the same time every day and reliably handled everything — food, litter, and Holly's overall care. She also sent daily, detailed updates along with pictures, which we really appreciated. Holly is 17, so I was a little concerned she'd be uneasy with someone new, but she looked completely comfortable with Danielle, which put me at ease. Danielle also spent extra time with her during visits, which I think helped keep her calm and settled while we were gone. We'd definitely use Danielle again if we need a sitter in the future — highly recommend her!

This is the first time I have ever used Rover, and to be honest, I was a bit apprehensive as I didn’t know what to expect. Luckily, I found Donna and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I really appreciated how she took the time to meet and greet myself and my dog before accepting the booking. It was comforting to know she wanted to interact with my dog and make sure it was a good fit for everyone before immediately saying yes. Definitely helped to make me feel comfortable and confident leaving my fur babies in the care of someone genuine. We had to extend our booking twice and she was flexible and accommodating. Donna was attentive, punctual, and really went above and beyond to make sure my fur babies were cared for, safe, happy, and healthy. I like how she was communicative throughout the booking, spent time playing outside with my dog, and sending me the BEST action shots!! I swear my dog is gonna be disappointed that we are back home. I will definitely be booking again! Thank you, Donna!! You’re the best! 100/10 recommend

Ebony is a lifesaver!!! Took care of our four pets for 3 days super super last minute — she is super communicative, sends pictures often, and took our dogs on a walk daily. I have a kitten and she took special care of him. Took extra time to make sure each pet felt comfy with her. She’s our go-to sitter now!

Amruta did a great job looking after my two cats while I was away. She is responsible, caring, and excellent at communicating with me throughout. Even though my cats are shy, she spent time with them each day until they were ready to play. I would definitely recommend her and plan to schedule again with Amruta next time.

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 .

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

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.
