“Logan is always so great with my fur babies! I've booked him for house sitting, as well as drop-ins (sometimes even last minute!). He's very communicative, professional, and friendly. My house is always in good condition when I get home and my animals are as happy as can be! I will continue to book with Logan any time I can :)”
“Ashley is amazing! My chocolate lab is very shy and doesn’t warm up to most people—but she absolutely loves Ashley. She’s so patient, caring, and great with both of my dogs. I couldn’t ask for anyone better!”
“Laura was the best, and our kitties absolutely loved her - even the stand-offish one! It is obvious she loves animals - She was so in tune with their needs and even their personalities. Laura kept us up to date on every single thing, and answered questions right away. I would definitely recommend Laura, and we will use her again in the future if/when necessary.”
“Jen was amazing with our girl! Our dog gave her a ran for her money, but Jen is super patient and understanding. She updated up everytime she came to see our dog, took photos, and it gave us a peace of mind.”
“Nikki did a great job watching my dog so I could go get my hair done. She has a very calm demeanor about her when it comes to dogs and that’s exactly what my dog needed. I would recommend Nikki!”
“Shannon has been fantastic so far! We have had her do visits with our new puppy while we are at work all week and she is so good with the puppy, and super sweet to the other dog in the household. She has been on time and dependable, always makes sure the pup gets what she needs, and is very easy to work with.”
“This was Olivia’s first time watching our cats and she was seriously outstanding. She really went above and beyond, overcoming some inconveniences to provide excellent care. I highly recommend.”
“Madeline did great with our three pups. She checked in like she said she would. We got photos of our babies. She came the night before to meet us and our pups. Would definitely recommend her.”
About: Dogs have always been my greatest passion. I have over 10 years of experience rescuing and caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I’m originally from Peru, where there are many stray dogs, and I volunteered with several animal shelters, helping rescue, rehabilitate, and care for dogs in need. After moving to Michigan, I continued doing what I love by working at the Humane Society of Manistee County, where I walked dogs and helped care for them every day. I also have 3–4 years of experience as a pet sitter and dog walker. I understand how important it is to earn a dog’s trust and make them feel safe, loved, and comfortable. I will care for your dog as if they were my own, with patience, compassion, and plenty of love. I have a very flexible schedule and I’m available mornings, afternoons, evenings, and overnight. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, so I love spending my time with pets. Being around dogs and cats genuinely makes me happy, and I’m committed to giving them the attention, love, and care they deserve whenever you need me. At this time, I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and house sitting for dogs and cats. Unfortunately, I’m not able to provide boarding or daycare in my home because I currently live in an apartment. However, I’m happy to care for your pets in the comfort of their own home, where they can stay relaxed, maintain their routine, and receive plenty of love, attention, and personalized care.
“We had a great experience with Neika as our dog sitter! She was always prompt and reliable with every appointment, which gave us a lot of peace of mind. Her communication was stellar—she kept us updated consistently and made sure Daisy (Dog) was well cared for and comfortable the entire time. It’s clear she genuinely cares about the pets she looks after. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
About: I have loved animals from a very young age, convincing my parents to get me my own dog when I was 10 years old. Her name was Zoey! I trained her myself, and she was my best friend. Not long after that, I began dog sitting for friends and eventually also spent time cat sitting and taking care of animals like chickens and bunnies. I adore pets of all shapes and sizes, and I understand entirely the immense value they have in our lives. I want nothing more than to make you feel safe allowing me to care for your best friends. I am occupied from 8am to 6pm Monday through Friday, but I am free most weekends and available to care for pets in the evenings. I make sure all animals are well fed and watered as fits their schedule. Also, I understand the importance of activity and quality time and make sure to play with them, take them on regular walks, and give them lots of love.
About: Hi! I’m Olivia, and I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. As a fitness coach, I live an active lifestyle and love spending time outdoors, making me a great fit for pets who enjoy walks, playtime, and plenty of activity. Whether your pet is an energetic puppy, a senior companion, or somewhere in between, I provide personalized care based on their unique needs and routine. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I understand that pets are family, and I treat every animal in my care with the same attention and compassion I would give my own. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work part-time as an online fitness coach and as an administrative assistant for a local school, which allows me to maintain a flexible schedule while providing reliable care for your pets. During the school year, I am primarily available Fridays through Sundays for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. In June and July, my schedule opens up significantly, allowing for much greater availability throughout the week. No matter the season, I am committed to being dependable, communicative, and ensuring your pets receive the attention and care they deserve. am attentive to each pet’s individual needs, routines, and preferences, and I will follow any instructions you provide to ensure consistency and comfort. Whether we’re out on a walk, enjoying playtime, or simply spending time together at home, you can count on me to provide responsible, loving care and keep you updated along the way.

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.

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.
