About: I have spent my entire life around animals so caring for them has always come naturally to me. I grew up in a household with over 40 animals, including dogs, cats, and exotic pets. I have spent years working in a small locally owned pet store in my home town taking care of exotics, before moving into kennel work at a vet’s office. I have experience in giving medications to dogs and cats in different methods, and monitoring their health afterwards. My primary role was offering our boarding pets the comfort of a home away from home. I’m a reptile dad every day, taking care of my own snake and bearded dragon babies. I’m currently home every day with time and love to give to other pets and their people who need an extra hand. I have a big room with a comfy bed that they can lay on in a nice couch that we can sit and watch shows on. I also have a fenced in yard outback that I can take them in to play, but I have a spacious cemetery up and across the street that is great for leash walks as well. I also have various toys and litter boxes as well.
“Katrina was the best with my dog and cat. She kept me updated every visit and they seem comfortable with her. She fed them and kept the space clean for them! I would definitely book her again.”
“Matt is so friendly, and was great with helping take our dog out for potty breaks while we were traveling. He clearly loves animals, and they love him! Every picture he sent of our pup made that especially clear.”
“Emily did a wonderful job watching our cat! We had a meet and greet a couple of days before our trip which was very helpful, and Emily sent photos and a lovely note every day. She was also extremely flexible and accommodating when we had to deal with an unexpected change of plans mid-trip, and made the schedule change as painless as possible. We would absolutely book Emily again!”
About: Lifelong dog owner, active dog walker, and aspiring dog trainer. I have experience with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and energy levels and am passionate about canine behavior and enrichment. With over 10 years of animal welfare volunteering and experience caring for horses and farm animals, I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and building trust with animals. Every walk is an opportunity to provide exercise, mental stimulation, and positive experiences for your dog. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I am active and enjoy spending time outdoors, so regular walks are already a part of my day. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I understand that consistency is important for dogs, and I strive to be reliable, punctual, and communicative with every client. Your pet’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. As a lifelong dog owner with experience caring for cats, horses, and farm animals, I understand the importance of reading animal body language and respecting each pet’s individual needs. I always follow owner instructions carefully, use secure leash handling practices, and provide plenty of positive attention during walks and visits. I’m currently working toward becoming a dog trainer, which has strengthened my understanding of canine behavior and safe handling techniques. You can trust that your pet will be treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own animals.
“Super appreciate the last minute accommodation while we had to step out for a long day, as well as the pics and card update to know how our baby did while Jorden was with him!!”
“Colin is the best dog and cat sitter around! He takes the best care of both of our kids every time he stops in! Love how he cares for them like his own and always updates me on anything and everything!”

“Misty has had excellent communication from day 1. My three pups took to her immediately which made us feel at ease.

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.
