About: I’ve been around pets all my life! I’ve never lived in a house that did not have a dog or cat present, and it just doesn’t feel like home without one! I’m currently an owner of a 7 year old cat myself, but I’ve always been around dogs of all ages and sizes! I frequently pet sit and stay overnight for family members, as well. I currently work full-time Monday through Friday from 7:30 am-4:30 pm, but I do have an hour lunch break from 11:30 am-12:30 pm, which I can use to check on your pet, take them on a short walk, play, or feed them (if needed!) I do not work on the weekends, so I am 100% available to stay overnight Friday-Saturday and make sure everything is good to go before I leave on Sunday! Before I leave and while I’m there, I always make sure there is nothing left out that an animal can get into, and I always ensure there is water and food that is easily accessible to them. A good play session is something I like to do to make sure they were given enough attention before I leave, or, for dogs, I take them on a short walk to get some of that energy out!
About: ❤️I love pets deeply; we shared 30 years with them, and when they’re gone, it’s because old age took them, after a life by our side.🐾 It fits perfectly; since I am very organized, I have time for everything I need to do during the day, and if I don’t have the time, I don’t take on jobs I can’t fulfill.”🕣 I’m going to take care of your pet with all my love, adjusting my schedule to their needs, so they can enjoy walks, good food, and a day full of comfort, as if their owner were at home. 😁🏡🐾
“She was extremely communicative, gave careful thought and attention in her care, and was a joy to velvet! I am very happy she was able to help out and I would definitely book her again!”
“Tereza did such a great job taking care of my three cats! She took direction well and was easy to talk to and explain all of the intricacies with my home and cats needs. I really appreciate Tereza going above and beyond and scheduling a meet & greet with us beforehand! Definitely recommend and will book again in the future. Thank you!”
“Absolutely fantastic! We're always thrilled to have Kyra looking after our cats. Not only does she provide excellent care, but her knack for capturing wonderful photos during her visits is a delightful bonus. Our gratitude goes out to her for her dedication to our feline friends. 😺📷”
About: I have been a dog walker, dog bather, kennel tech, and worked at wildlife rehab. To say I love animals is an understatement, and I can't wait to meet and care for yours! I have been pet sitting in people's homes for nearly 20 years now, and have worked professionally with animals for many years. Dogs to Hedgehogs and snakes, tell me how to best care for your pets and I will exceed your expectations. I have watched over nursing puppies in shelters, and senior dogs in veterinary care and boarding, so I have experience with animals with anxiety and giving medications. I am on summer break from work at a local school, so your little ones will have my full attention. I do have a few 2/3 hr events two evenings a week, but I will be available for any pets in training, or who may need more frequents outdoor breaks. Because I understand that for many pets, consistency is very important, I try to stick as close to your regular walk/outside schedules as possible to make sure routines are kept just that*. Since every animal is different, I will let your pet lead the way with how much attention/ what kind of enrichment they like. I don't mean to brag, but my belly rubs are the bark of the town my neighborhood. **With the summer heat, I expect any walks taken will be very early or as the sun is setting so their paws are protected.
“Amber was kind and took care of my cat when I was away. She alerted me when the auto-feeder was over-feeding and also gave my chicken treats even though it wasn’t part of the arrangement. She brought my packages in too and offered to visit my cat on the day I was scheduled to return if there was a change in my travel plans. I would recommend her to others.”
“Gabrielle is incredible! Not only did she listen to all of the little special requests I had about how to handle my girl in the best way possible, she went above and beyond sending me pictures and spending as much of the 30 minute visit out on a walk like I requested! I can tell she loved my girl well, and would highly recommend her to anyone who is nervous about leaving their baby in the care of someone else!”
About: Growing up in a house full of animals gave me hands on experience with all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I’ve personally owned and cared for everything from a giant Great Dane to a high-energy Border Collie, so I know exactly how to manage different strength and exercise levels. I currently work part time, which gives me incredible flexibility throughout the week! Because my schedule is open most days, I can easily accommodate mid day walks, or specific feeding routines. Your pet will be my top priority, and I have plenty of time to give them the focused attention, exercise, and love they deserve while you are away. Safety is my absolute top priority when caring for your pets. Whether I am visiting your home or taking your dog out for a walk, I maintain strict supervision, keep them securely on leash.
“I am so happy to have found Alice! She made the time to meet my two cats and they love her!! She managed to make my shy boy feel comfortable and safe, as he is easily distracted and afraid of strangers. She asked for clarification and suggestions on how to feed them, given my girl is hungry all the time and my boy is not food motivated at all. Alice helped me modify my Rover request to add a visit. I'm so thankful to have been able to leave my cats in her care. I will definitely hire her again in the future!”
“Kelsey is really fantastic! She actually plays with my dogs during the drop-in (unlike other sitters I've had), even though they're old and grumpy sometimes, and if they're not in the mood to play, she at least talks to them and pets them. She's super-punctual and overall a lovely person.”
“Linda has helped watch our dogs a few times now, and she always does an excellent job! Our dogs love her and always receive the best care. She is very kind and always sends us photos and updates!”
“It was my first time to use Rover. Shelly was amazing! She was great about communicating with me and sending me updates. I have a high energy boxer, so I needed someone who would work well with her. She did great, I’ll definitely schedule with Shelly again in the future!”
“We are so pleased with Kelsey and how well she treats our kitties. This trip was a long one and we had such peace of mind knowing that she was here twice a day spending time with them. She is definitely our go to sitter. Thank you!”
About: Growing up, our household had many different types of pets. Including dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, rodents and more. I am very comfortable dealing with all sorts of animals, whatever shapes and sizes. I exceed in communication and do not mind adapting to any new situation. I love spending time with animals and assure that your pet will be in good hands! I work full time as an opening manager. This allows me to have most afternoons free. I am not available on Mondays and Tuesdays, but I can be flexible any other day of the week. I am very respectful to the pets and the houses in which they reside. I maintain a clean organized house of my own, and will treat any place with the same values. I am not afraid of any animal but do honor boundaries with pets and their families alike. I have no issues with special requests or strange habits, and will do my best to accommodate for our furry friends.

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Arlington
Wonderful experience! We just returned from a week out of town for our daughters wedding . We have never left our younger adopted cat before and refused to board him and make him think we "returned him" . We also have a needy old Persian with a bad attitude. Every one we know will be at the wedding too. What to do? Paris was the perfect answer for both our boys. She was easy to reach and sent pictures with each visit. They barely noticed we were gone (ouch!) :). Highly recommend Paris and Rover!
From the first meeting I knew it was going to work out. My cats took to Sabrina almost immediately. It was very nice to know that Sabrina was experienced with cats and it showed. Excellent updates the entire span of visits and the great peace of mind to have someone trustworthy taking care of my wonderful boys!
Kyra is absolutely wonderful! We always feel completely comfortable leaving our pets in her care. She’s dependable, communicative, and takes such great care of them while we’re away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re with someone we trust. We’re always happy to have Kyra watch them and would definitely recommend her!
Corrina was awesome with my two cats! She played with my friendly, overly brave boy and won over my shy (okay, scared) girl. She adhered to my recommendations for care and schedules and asked applicable follow-up questions as needed. It was reassuring to have my pets in such capable and caring hands. I would absolutely recommend Corrina to anyone and rebook whenever our schedules align.

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 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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.

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 cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
