“Haley was amazing with my two girls! She spent time loving on them and playing with them in the yard. She really went above & beyond to make sure they were taken care of. She was very communicative and snapped the best photos. Nothing but good things to say about her! Thanks again Haley ?”

“This is the second time Brooke has looked after my dog, Chip. As always she was very good with him and it made being away from him so much easier! I love the updates and notes about the visits. Thanks Brooke!”
“Andrea was awesome she went above and beyond caring for our 2 cats, she cleaned up accidents and brought in packages on top of their basic care, during her drop in visits, I highly recommend her services.”

“Patty was wonderful with our Murphy. Communication with her was easy setting up sitting services and she continued to communicate with us while we were gone. We were thrilled to know that while we were away Patty was taking care of Murphy. She treated him as if he was her own. Not only did she take care of his basic needs she played his favorite game of Fetch, till her arm almost fell off! We would definitely recommend Patty to anyone needing a sitter and will be using her again in the future.”

About: I've spent my entire life around dogs of various ages, sizes, and personalities. My family has always had at least one dog in the household-right now we have four-so I've experienced almost every stage of canine care. I raised my own goldendoodle, Paisle, through an extremely energetic puppy phase, and I've also cared for senior dogs, including our family cocker spaniel who faced health issues and became sensitive in his later years. I am comfortable handling both large dogs and small breeds. This lifelong, hands-on experience helps me understand each dog's unique needs and provide patient, reliable care. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine because I’m already used to caring for multiple dogs at home. I keep a consistent schedule with feeding, walks, playtime, and individual attention, so adding another pet into my routine feels natural. I’m also a full-time student, but during the summer I’m not busy with classes, which gives me plenty of flexibility and availability for drop-ins, walks, or longer stays. Whether it’s daily care or weekly check-ins, I’m organized, reliable, and always make sure each pet gets the attention they need. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that matches each dog’s needs and routine. I follow all instructions closely—whether that’s feeding schedules, medication, crate training, or preferred walking routes. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and bathroom breaks, and I’m patient with dogs who are shy, high-energy, or adjusting to a new space. I also keep communication open with frequent updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable care that helps your dog feel as secure with me as they do with you.
About: I’ve grown up around many of my own pets as well as other peoples that I’ve cared for throughout my neighborhood. I’m not a party person nor do I have many friends. I love animals and always have. I love going on walks and just sitting outside for an hour throwing a ball. I like animals that think they’re a lap dog even if they’re bigger than me. I am a part time employee at Cocos Mexican restaurant. I can sit any day throughout the week Sunday-Saturday. Sitting does not affect my routine at all, I plan my weeks to fit sitting for pets I like to make sure that animals are fed and happy. I believe that if I want to eat and drink during the day, then surely my pet does too. I enjoy the sunlight and I’ll sit outside with your pet until they’re ready to come in. I’m not a party person nor do I like to be around a lot of people. I like my area to be clean so I can assure that when you return the house will be just as you left it if not cleaner.
About: All of my life we've had dogs as pets. I grew up with three dogs in our home and we currently have a lab/shiba inu mix as well as a mastiff mix. I love all dogs and am not afraid to get on the ground and play with them. I work a full time banking job so I am available after 5pm most days, and available most weekends. I have trained all of the dogs I've had: from learning how to play dead, speak, roll over, give high fives, and even leave a treat on the floor until I say "get it"! I love to take my dog out for walks and play fetch. I love dogs of all kinds: small ones, medium sized, and big lovable pups! We both work full-time Monday through Friday 8-5. We can drop into your home before and after work if needed to feed and let out your pet. Your pup can stay with us in our home as long as they get along with other dogs! We have a fenced in yard and an energetic pup who will keep yours company! We can also provide drop in visits 2x a day if you are more comfortable having your pup at home while you are out of town. I work full time and usually get home around 5:45-6pm. My husband also works the same hours. Morning and evenings drop-ins are doable for us! If we board, your pup would need to be ok out and about our home with other dogs, or in a kennel. I have a fenced in yard and 2 energetic and friendly pups to keep yours company. My boy dog is very young and loves to play!

“Sarah did a great job of caring for my kitties for a week. She took pictures every visit to keep me updated and connected and she was spot on in their twice a day feedings and keeping their litter boxes clean. I will definitely use her again when I need a sitter. Do not hesitate to hire her to take care of your pets. Thanks again Sarah”

About: My family and I use to breed dogs . So that would require baths, potty training, feeding, grooming, teaching, and commands. I have two fur baby’s myself , very sweet and loving .

We are a warm and welcoming family and would love the chance to help care for other animals . We live on base but I’m willing to travel a distance to care for the animals. The animals will get just as much attention as mine do , plenty of love and walks, plenty of play time as well. If need be , I can send pictures and videos threw out the day of what your animals are up to and updates on how they are doing . I do charge for late fees , if I’m not informed on any late times and how late it will be .
“It's a Blessing to have someone we trust to take care of our Critters. Cailey is trustworthy with our home and Babies. We can tell by the pictures that our Critters are comfortable with her. Thank you Cailey!”
“HANDS DOWN the BEST sitter I've ever had for Venom. Words can't express how I feel after this week. You went above and beyond during these last few days. You will definitely be my first ask if I ever need a sitter again. Venom couldn't have been in better hands and you have no idea how much that means to me and the rest of our little family. YOU. ARE. AWESOME!”

Brooke was excellent. She took the time to pet our kitties and to give them lots of love. She sent multiple pics and videos to us which we really appreciated!! She left our home very neat. Overall we had peace of mind knowing Brooke was taking care of the “kids”.

Shannon is amazing. She’s so sweet and good with my kitties. They are a tough crowd and she managed to get them to play. Shannon was so flexible. I needed to get her base access and she always showed up on time and communicated with me. Your pets will be in great hands with Shannon!

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.
