“Kelly did an awesome job of taking care of my two cats while I was away. She provided plenty of TLC and sent pictures and detailed updates every day. I highly recommend Kelly and will be booking with her again in the future. Thanks so much Kelly!”
About: Hi, my name is Kerry, and I’m an experienced and caring pet sitter with a genuine love for animals of all ages and personalities. I have experience caring for puppies, adult dogs, senior dogs, and cats, including pets that need a little extra patience and attention. I’m comfortable walking dogs of different sizes and temperaments, helping with basic puppy training and routines, feeding, playtime, and providing plenty of companionship and affection. I understand that every pet is different, and I always try to follow their normal routine so they can feel safe, relaxed, and happy while their family is away. I’m currently working full-time as a pet care professional, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m available every day for dog walks, drop-in visits, and personalized care for your pets. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I always respect their routine, space, and individual needs. During walks, I focus on safety, exercise, attention, and making sure every dog feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Skyla did great with our three cats. Typically our cat Hades can be shy around new people. However, he walked up to Skyla right away. She made our cats feel very comfortable and safe. She also sent pictures so we could see how they were doing.”
About: I’ve been an animal lover my entire life! I previously spent 5 years working at Flying A Canine Ranch in Metamora, MI, where I cared for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and sizes. My experience included doggy daycare, overnight boarding, feeding, administering medications, playtime, and best of all, lots of love and attention! I’ve also always had pets of my own, so I understand how important it is to find someone you trust to care for your furry family members. I’ll care for your pets like they’re my own! I recently moved to Cape Cod from San Diego and am lucky to have a flexible schedule with plenty of time to dedicate to your furry friends! I've always had a love for animals, so spending time with them is something I genuinely enjoy. I'm excited to meet some new furry faces and give them all the love, time and attention they deserve. I offer drop- in visits and dog walking, allowing your furry family members to stay happy and comfortable in their own familiar environment! I know how important routines are for pets, so I'll always follow your instructions and make sure they recieve plenty of love and attention. Whether it's a walk, feeding, fresh water, play time, litter box cleaning, or just some extra cuddles, I'm happy to help! I'll also send picutres and updates so you can feel at ease knowing your babies are in good hands!
“Cecilia was great! She was reliable, responsive and gave me daily updates, including pictures. My cat seemed to enjoy her visits and was relaxed and happy when we got home. We will definitely request her again.”
About: I am entering my senior year at the University of Rhode Island, earning a degree in animal science, specializing in zoo and aquarium animal science with a focus on behavior and training. The classes I have taken at the university focus on animal biology, care, management, and behavior. I have had many animal care experiences ranging from cats and dogs, aquatic species at the Mystic Aquarium, and most recently caring for a geriatric elephant (so large dogs don’t scare me :))! Throughout my life I have had many pets from cats and dogs, to small mammals and reptiles. I have also had some experience training various animals, such as cats, chickens, bears and elephants! I have the basic skills to train using operant conditioning and positive reinforcement. I am working a part time summer job at a restaurant mostly working at night. I am available to do drop in visits throughout the day. I will not be able to take your pets into my home because I have pets of my own. Safety is my number one priority for myself and your pets and am willing to work through any challenges your pet may face!
About: i am patient, responsible, and level-headed. i’m punctual and dependable. dogs are comfortable around me and are drawn to my energy. I’m passionate when it comes to dogs. I have experience with dogs, growing up around them, and taking care of the family dog. I don’t have a dog currently (only a cat) so i have plenty of time to take care of yours! I’m currently between jobs. I am available Monday thru Friday at anytime of the day for walking or sitting. I’m punctual and dependable whenever you need me! I’m very receptive to owners safety and notes. Reliable and observant when it comes to specific and unique dog care. Vigilant and alert while on walks, aware of my surroundings in the presence of others and other pets. Respectful of your home, not a smoker, very independent, and full of energy to keep you dog occupied
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and have been pet sitting regularly for the past four years for three wonderful families! I have experience from energetic labs to mellow mixed-breeds dogs and cats! I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, potty breaks, administering basic routines, and giving lots of love and attention! As someone who loves being outdoors, I enjoy long walks and making sure dogs get plenty of movement and adventure. I know every pet has a unique personality, and I strive to get to know their quirks to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated with messages and photos (as much or as little as you prefer) so you can have peace of mind but also know your pet is in good hands. 😇 I'm currently working as a server, so my schedule can be very flexible and I can typically request time off to make time for your pets! I can care for your pet in your home! I feel this is most comfortable for pets as opposed to getting to know a new person and environment simultaneously.
About: I volunteer at my local animal shelter and I am great with both dogs and cats. I grew up with my cat, Hepsiba, born before me who died when I was nearly 20 years of age. We were best friends before I knew what that was. Then at the age of 12 or so, my parents adopted 2 English cocker spaniels, brother and sister. Robbie and Flora. So I was taking care of three pets. Then I raised Bruce, a rescued black lab mix from August 2013 until 2025 with some breaks for the US Army. And I taught him very well; he passed in June 2025 but he will always be my companion at my side. For some time I carried him, 120 lbs, up and down flights of stairs. Sometimes from here to there, carefully, comfortably, gingerly. I have a background in psychology, and I’m a dog trainer and a bit of a behaviorist. I’ve taken care of pets for family members and friends. And did so professionally in the past prior to Rover, after friends got me into it, which I started in August 2025. I’m great with animals. After spending even just a short time with them we can often establish a connection or rapport, especially when training a younger pet (or caring for an older dog). I enjoy taking dogs for long walks, I could run with your dog, play with them, but mostly we’ll be doing what they want - within reason. I will basically be spending the entire time with your pets. We’ll wake up between five to eight in the morning, and we’ll go bed between eight and eleven at night. I’ll be up with them as they need and we’ll be in and out much more than is required. I am delicate and meticulous and believe in leaving no trace that I was there. I want my client after their time away from home and their animals to not be met with the mess that I could be leaving behind. I am committed to performing an act of cleaning based on the tools available.

Varalee was wonderful. I felt so at ease while I was away, she cared for my 8 year old cat Poppy. excellent communication & always provided very thorough report cards of her visits. she gave my cat a lot of attention & care! I could tell that Poppy was at ease when I returned & everything was very clean when I arrived home which I appreciate. I would book again.

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.

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 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.
