“Natalie was awesome and really helped me out with a last minute booking after there was a scheduling conflict with my current sitter. She was very patient with my (very) timid rescue and went above and beyond to give some extra love to my older pup who was also home and didn’t require care. Will 100% book her in the future!”
“Emily watched over my 4 month old pup, who can have a lot of energy at times. She was very communicative and professional. She was very accommodating to my dog’s needs and he was well taken care of. I’d highly recommend Emily to watch your pup :).”
“Dasha was communicative and good natured despite our cats having a bit of unexpected anxiety and making her life a bit difficult. We're so thankful for her patience and kindness!”
“Rhianna did a wonderful job watching our kitty, Onyx, while we were away for the weekend. She left the house tidy and send us updates on how they were getting along. Onyx was happy and healthy when we returned.”
“Kiley was great for out drop in visits with our cat while we were away. She was easy to communicate with, and made sure that she gave our cat lots of attention while she was there.”
“Michael did an excellent job looking after our cats. He made sure to get a picture of at least one of them every visit. There was some issues with his schedule that came up and he did his best to communicate with us even though there was an 8 hour time difference between us. We appreciate everything that Michael did for us during such a long vacation.”

“Elizabeth was wonderful and did great drop-in visits for our cats while we were away. She went the extra mile to troubleshoot when our smart lock battery died. Thank you!”
About: I have always had dogs and currently have bunnies too. I volunteer one morning a week at the animal shelter when I'm physically able. I have trained six of my own. Also enjoy creating enrichment and providing interaction for those who benefit from it. Happy to give your pets company for a short while. I am available to do drop-ins for up to an hour or two in the mornings or early afternoons including a potty break. Depending on the dog and the day, longer walks may be available. Dependent on demeanor, I can provide company outside or inside with as much attention requested, a short walk, or play session. Automatically thresholds will be respected for exposure to triggers. On-leash will include practicing loose-leash walking, lots of sniffing, and some impulse control. Play will include the toys and/or treats provided at the pups home.
About: Providing unconditional love & support for dogs & cats. My biggest passion is the love for animals. Earned a veterinary assistant certification at Northwest Career & Tech Academy. Looking forward to meeting your fur babies! 😀 I have open availability Monday-Sunday anytime during the week. I currently don't have any other job that could get in the way of my availability. I live on 5 acres of property with two German shepherds, two French bulldogs & 4 cats. There's a fenced area with 2 dog kennels I could separate from my animals if needed.
“This is the second time we’ve had Jordan watch our cats when we are out of town and Jordan did an incredible job again, was very attentive and sent great pictures each visit. We will definitely look for Jordan’s availability first next time we are out of town!”
About: I grew up with dogs and while I don’t have any now my sister has two dogs. They are a german shepherd and a golden retriever so I know how to handle bigger dogs. I often take them on walks, play fetch, and dog sit while they are away. I’m currently working part time Monday- Wednesday so I am free the rest of the week and most weekends for pet care. I try to do all pet care during the day that way i’m not in unfamiliar places at night. I have a fenced in back yard so if needed I can keep your pets safe. However I do have two cats that also go outside so they would have to be cat friendly.

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 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 .

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.
