“Summer was great with both my dog and cat. She was very conscientious and always kept me up to date with pictures and descriptions of how they were doing. Highly recommend!”
“Brittany is wonderful with our girls (who can be a little difficult). I never worry that their schedule will be disrupted. She cares so greatly for them. I look forward to the next time we have her sit for them!”
About: I am trained in CPR for cats & dogs. I have been around animals my whole life, and have grown up with multiple veterinarians in the family. I am the kind of human who pulls off to the side of the road when they see a bag or box to make sure there isn’t an animal(s) inside. I have 2 cats of own! A three year old tortoiseshell named Whiskee Sour and a 2year old mixed breed white kitty named Sweet Purrlot (like Merlot). And no, I do not drink LOL. I had roommates with both cats & dogs when I lived in my college town and I pet sit for them frequently. I am happy to service families with any type of fur-baby. They are all loved by me! I just finished my 5th semester at WVU and have the entire summer off (until the beginning of September)! I only have 2 trips planned (one at the end of May and another at the end of July) thus far this summer. I am very flexible with my time. I am great at following any instructions and warnings you give me when going into your home- I prefer crystal clear instructions on what to do and how to handle your babies. I want to give them the best care possible!
“Alyxx is great with my pets and handles the little curve balls that pop up with ease. Best of all, Alyxx always lets me know what is going on - I am totally confident leaving both the animals and the house in her hands.”
“Makensie was wonderful with my three cats and kept them all safe and happy while I was away. She had a lovely connection with my Toby, which was a great bonus for my shy little guy. She was great about letting me know how each visit went and I was able to enjoy the trip, knowing the "kids" were well looked after. A+ pet-sitter!”
About: Since I was five years old when we adopted our family puppy, I have been involved in taking care of dogs. I have also over 350 hours of shelter volunteer experience in walking dogs, giving medications, and obedience training. Since I am hoping to be a vet one day, I am always wanting to meet new animals and give them the best care possible! I am currently a full-time student at Carleton and thus have classes and other extracurricular activities throughout the day. However, I have chunks of time throughout the day that could be devoted to pet care. If I am pet-sitting for you, your animal will be my priority! I do not have the capacity to care for your pet in my house, but I can provide whatever level of care you need in for your pet in your own home! If you need me to stay the night, I can do that. I am a detail-oriented person so whatever your pet needs I feel confident I can provide it.
“Andrea (Annie) was prompt every day, sent regular photos and communication! Our pets got top shelf care and were in excellent condition when we got back home!! Andrea will be our go to sitter from now on!!”

“Shelley was amazing with my dog who can sometimes be very skittish around new people. She has scared sitters in the past due to her barking but Shelley handled her like a champ. My dog took to Shelley right away and I appreciated knowing that she was in good hands during the day. Shelley sent many pictures and provided me with updates while she was at my house ensuring my dog got to potty, they played ball and she made sure she had food and water before she left each day. I would highly recommend Shelley and will definitely use her in the future.”
About: I used to be a kennel technician who walked dogs, practiced training, while offering playtime for them and cleaning up their space. I’ve always loved caring for animals and wildlife and want to branch out on my own. I’m also a college student currently! I have a very flexible schedule right now, all that’s needed is to message me and see how our availabilities line up! I integrate your pets life into mine. I have a variety of treats and food on hand, but will follow whatever diet your dog needs. I also have the time for high energy dogs or dogs that need training through e-collars or etc. I also own lots of toys and a large crate, or litter box if need be. If you have any more specific questions please ask!
About: I have had my own dog for the last five years. Before that I have watched dogs for different people in my family while also house sitting. All of these dogs have been big dogs, though mine is a medium sized dog. I am currently not working so I can typically help with pet care at any time of the week. I go back to college at the end of august, so around that time my schedule will change a bit but I should be good every weekend and most afternoons. I take my dog on at least five walks every day. She gets a treat whenever she is done. I also have a large crate that I put her in for when we leave. My dog also has multiple stuffed animals she enjoys playing with.
About: I have experience with both cats and dogs as I have both. I had a wonderful dog named Tessa. I miss her so much. She was a rescue and an amazing dog. Albany is a manx cat and was adopted at the age of 3. She is 6 now. She loved to play and can be ornery! I love fur babies and would love to help take care of your fur babies. I hope with providing this service I can give you piece of mind that your cat or dog is being taken care of. With adopting a rescue, I also had to work with some behavioral issues my dog had and feel that gave me a better understanding of her needs. In February 2024, I welcomed a miniature poodle in my home named Benny. I hope to speak with you soon! I do my best to keep my schedule updated. I do work two jobs, one being at home. I can best help in the evening and weekend. I ensure to spend quality time with your pet when providing a drop in service. I ensure to follow all instructions on feeding and water.
About: I have cared for several cats and dogs in my home as well as in others for 15 years. I am a mother of three with lots of love, attention & cuddles to share with your fur-babies! I currently work from home 3 days each week and as a mom of 3, am home most weekends to help take care of your fur-babies:) I live in a very safe neighborhood for long walks and have a large backyard (unfenced) to play in! All 3 of my kiddos (16,14 & 6) are true animal lovers who will also happily love on your fur-babies while visiting our home!
“This is our first time using this service and we were thrilled with Bethany. She is very dependable and very personable. It is obvious she loves dogs and she loved ours! It gave us peace of mind while we were gone. Our dogs are our children and Bethany made us feel good that the dogs were in good hands and well taken care of. We will be using Bethany in the future!”
“Would 100% recommend Autumn for your dog sitting needs. She has been wonderful. We currently have her come a few days week to take our dog out while I am at work. Our dog Luna instantly loved her at the meet and greet. Autumn is always on time and tries her best to be available for our drop in visit needs. She is greatly appreciated.”

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.
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 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.
