“Monica was so very helpful! She sent me so many photos of miss Jade. I knew she was a great sitter because my cat has a hard time coming out when new people come around. But she was not shy with Monica!! A good sign indeed. She gave her a lot of love and pets. I would highly recommend Monica and will definitely have her watch Jade again! (:”
About: I have spent my whole life living with and caring for animals of all kinds, ranging from self sufficient cats who sleep all day, to high energy dogs who require multi-mile walks and constant engagement. I can comfortably administer medications and assist pets with special needs. I will follow their routine closely, and if I'm staying in your home I can assure you it will be treated mindfully. Growing up I frequently watched my neighbor's pets and built great relationships with each animal. I got to know so many personality types and adapted to their lifestyles. I don't have any pets currently, and would love the opportunity to spend time with ones who need care. My ultimate goal is to make them feel like their family never left. I will be working part time this fall, so I will have lots of time to keep your furry friends company. Depending on your pets energy we can keep active or spend the day cuddling on the couch. No matter, their days will be filled with love and enrichment. I just ask that you provide each pets vet information and emergency contacts. I have a pet-specific checklist we will go over, ie diet, behavior, daily routine, etc. to ensure they will have a fun yet safe and clean environment while you're away. Dogs will stay on leash when out of the house (unless we go for a swim!). I can check in as frequently as you prefer and can confirm many photos will be taken.
“Liz is fantastic! She has taken care of my two dogs (a senior Rhodesian Ridgeback and a Golden Retriever) for visits and walks during the day many times over the past couple of months. She is so responsive and communicative, and the dogs clearly love her! It gives me such peace of mind to have Liz spending time with our dogs when we are away for the day. I highly recommend her!”
“Mickenzie did a great job watching taking care of Socks and Kitt last week. She made sure that they were feed during their usual schedule and cleaned their litter boxes twice a day. She even took photos for each visit. Socks seemed to be very comfortable around her. Kitt is still shy, but that is how she has always been around other people. I would be happy to have her take care of them while I am out of town again.”
About: Hi my name is Katie and I would love to help out with your pets! I had a dog and two cats growing up and love everything that comes with caring for an animal. I work in ski patrol closely with our search and rescue dogs and love any excuse for more time with animals! I’d love to care for other pets as well, but I definitely know most about caring for dogs and cats. I have lots of availability! My typical days off are Sunday, Monday and Tuesday but my schedule varies a lot and I am always around in the evenings. I live in a large, dog-friendly house with an unfenced yard. I am near West End Beach on Donner Lake which is great to walk dogs around!
About: I grew up caring for household pets & greatly enjoyed it. I am a dedicated animal lover, with years of experience in dog walking, playing, and general loving care for friends and family’s pets. I feel strongly that animals need to get sufficient play time in order to feel properly nourished in their lives. I also have experience with senior dogs, dogs with muzzles & dogs with special needs. I have been house and pet sitting across the country on & off for the last 5 years. I am an entrepreneur & work from home. My schedule is flexible & I can almost always adapt to your scheduling needs. I am currently in between vehicles and relying primarily on public transportation & the local shuttle system at this time. Many of my repeat clients offer me a vehicle or bike to use during my time caring for their pets if it is necessary for the duties I’ll be performing. I have been on Trusted Housesitters for over 4 years with excellent reviews and experiences. I have also house and pet sit for many friends and family. Given my large resume of experience, I decided to start on Rover to get paid for the excellent care that I offer. While staying in your home, I will treat your home like my own. Keeping all spaces clean and tidy for you to come back to. If you have any boundaries in your home please let me know, so I can be sure to respect all house rules. I am comfortable sleeping with animals on the beds or off, depending, of course, on how large the bed is if it’s an overnight sit. I will enjoy exploring your area and take any pups who need exercise on some beautiful hikes and adventures!
“We were visiting Truckee to ski for a weekend and brought our 5 month old puppy! Chloe spent a few hours with her each day and was amazing - she was super communicative, reliable, and friendly. We will definitely contact her next time we are in Tahoe!”
About: Dedicated animal lover, grown up with animals my whole life. Here to provide a loving and attentive experience for your animal. Medication administration, cat sitting, dog walking, or senior care, whatever it is I’m here to make your life easier and ensure the happiness and safety of your pet while you’re away. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pup/cat while you’re away! I’m available for boarding anytime or day of the week except Mondays. Please provide any necessities needed for your pet! (crate, toys, treats, food). I live 10 minutes from the cutest dog park to get all your pups zoomies out. If dog parks are a no zone, I live in a quiet and attentive home in Tahoe Donner to take your pup on a beautiful walk. I have no pets of my own to give lots of your pet attention!
About: Dogs have been a central part of my life for more than 10 years. I’m the owner of Furbal Remedies and have years of experience supporting dogs with anxiety, allergies, digestive sensitivities, mobility concerns, special diets, supplements, and medications. I understand how important consistency and attention to detail are, especially for pets with unique needs. My goal is always to help your pet feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I work part-time and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to provide dependable care throughout the week. Whether your pet needs a daily walk, a midday check-in, vacation care, or extra attention while you’re away, I’ll do my best to accommodate your routine. I believe consistency helps pets feel secure, so I strive to keep their schedule as close to normal as possible. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, feeding schedule, medications, and any special instructions so they receive the same thoughtful care they’re used to at home. I’ll always treat your home with respect, provide regular updates and photos, and make sure you have peace of mind while you’re away. For first-time clients, I prefer a quick Meet & Greet with you and your dog before their first booking whenever scheduling allows. It gives us a chance to meet, go over their routine, and make sure everyone feels comfortable before their first visit.
“Jacqueline was great with my dog pepper! She was able to come and check on him, sent pictures, and let me know how he was during a long day of work! Great with communication, and would definitely trust her to check in/watch pepper again!”

About: I am great with pets of all ages and sizes. I have trained multiple puppies and am very compassionate with senior animals.

I want you and your pet to feel like I am giving them the best care! I am an avid hiker, and am happy to take your animal on a long walk to get their energy out. I love dogs and cats for their unique qualities and get along really well with both. I have been told by many cat parents that their cat "Instantly took to me and they never do that!" Also, I am quite strong and do well with really big dogs. I have an open schedule right now! Happy to provide care 7 days a week. I am unable to board, but can pet sit in the animal's home. I will follow the owner's lead on their animal's schedule and routine. I am very adaptable and want a seamless transition so the animal feels safe and comfortable. I will always take photos of your animal on the walk to let you know how they are doing. I value open communication and respond in a timely fashion.
About: I am new to Rover but have dedicated my life to the wellness of animals over the last 20+ years. I love caring for animals and can provide exercise for an active lifestyle or TLC for a calming presence. I am comfortable giving medications, and I can maintain your training specifications. I make my own work schedule and can generally accommodate your pet’s timing needs with a few days notice. I am available most week days and weekends. I have an active dog and senior cat, that also remains active. My free time is spent spoiling them. I have also fostered for the humane society at times.
About: I have a lot of experience caring for dogs and cats and truly love any time I get to spend around furry friends. Whether it’s going on walks, drop-in visits, or just giving your pet some extra attention and care while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I have very flexible availability and do my best to work around your schedule and your pet’s needs. I’m reliable, attentive, and happy to provide updates so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’m also happy to provide references or reviews from past pet owners upon request. I have a pretty flexible schedule and have a lot of time to take care of your pets even if it’s at the last minute. I am used to many different pets and let them approach me. I can walk them, give them the care they need and put them back in their crate.
Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Armstrong
Sierra was fantastic. We booked her for help with our two cats super last minute after our sitter fell through and she was extremely communicative and helpful. She sent great photos and would check in with us about her timing and schedule. We will definitely reach out again and others should too.
Monica was so very helpful! She sent me so many photos of miss Jade. I knew she was a great sitter because my cat has a hard time coming out when new people come around. But she was not shy with Monica!! A good sign indeed. She gave her a lot of love and pets. I would highly recommend Monica and will definitely have her watch Jade again! (:

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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 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.
