“Sarah did a fantastic job watching our pups while my wife and I were out. She kept us updated the whole time and made sure they were well taken care of. It was clear she gave them plenty of attention and love, and we came home to two happy dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out to her again next time we need someone reliable and caring.”
“Jess was amazing!!!! Great communication and she was always on time. She sent me the best photos and updates daily. Definitely put my mind at ease allowing me to fully enjoy my vacation knowing that my dog was well taken care of. You can tell how much she truly loves animals. She treated my dog, Moose, like he was her own. Moose had a great week with Jess. Definitely booking with Jess again!!!!”
About: I have taken care of dogs since 5 years ago helping friends and family when they needed help. I always had a connection with dogs and love to take care of them. I have a part-time job that gives me time to take care of pets weekdays and weekends mostly in the mornings. I can accommodate my schedule too. I make sure that all the necessities and schedules any dog has are completed before leaving, making sure the dog feels comfortable and safe are my top priorities.
About: Hello, I’m SirJahad! I have over 11 years of experience caring for cats through both personal ownership and cat sitting for clients, friends, and family. Over the last 2 years, I’ve also gained experience caring for dogs through pet sitting for friends and family members. My experience includes feeding schedules, fresh water, litter box cleaning, potty breaks, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. I truly enjoy being around animals and understand how important it is to trust the person caring for your pets. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always do my best to provide dependable, patient, and attentive care. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, or needs extra comfort. At the end of the day, my goal is for you to return home to a happy pet and feel confident that they received the same care, attention, and respect that I’d want for my own fur babies. Thank you for the opportunity, and I look forward to meeting you and your pets! Currently working a full time schedule. I clock in at 7:30am & finish between 2:30-3:30pm depending on the week. If you’d like my services anywhere between those times, just need 5 days to a week’s notice prior to booking. Typically free Saturday & Sundays. I believe communication is one of the most important parts of pet sitting. During our meet and greet, I ask plenty of questions so I can follow your instructions as closely as possible. I’ll make sure your home remains secure, clean, and respected while you’re away. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, energy levels, and overall wellbeing, and I’ll always communicate anything that seems unusual.
“Victoria was fantastic! Not only did she check on both of my cats, as well as being active with refilling things like their water, but she also did some clean up around the house that was absolutely not required. Would absolutely come back to her!”
“Joanne came in on a last-minute request and did a phenomenal job winning the heart of my beloved cat. She did a fantastic job and put in a lot of effort to make my cat feel comfortable and loved. She was prompt and good with communication throughout the entire time that She watched my cat. Thank you, Joanne!”

About: My name is Rashad I am a 32 year old who has always had a strong love for pets. I am local to the Blackwood area but I will travel to care for your animals personally. I have personally owned 3 dogs, a Weimaraner named Bella, pitbull terrier mix named Jay and a toy sized Yorkshire terrier named Chloe. Unfortunately I am no longer a pet owner but I still I hope to be able to watch over some other furry companions to fill the void that has been made by their absence. I have experience as a manager at Petco so not only do I know how to care for dogs, I am well versed in the basic needs for most reptiles, birds, cats, and other small animals.I have no problem accepting pets that are not spayed or neutered for some reason rover won’t let me change that setting on my profile, so please disregard. I hope to share my affinity for pets with other pet parents while they allow me to host their fur children and look forward to yet again feeling the comfort of a four legged friend in my home. I work a rotating schedule with 12 hour shifts at a healthcare facility. I do my best to keep my calendar up to date but I am flexible so I do encourage you to reach out to me directly with an inquiries about dates and times I am available. I’m typically available early mornings and in the evening on the days I’m working but on my off days I am ready to be an all day companion for your furry friend!

I always try and approach any arrangement with both the owners and pets best interest in mind. I look forward to crafting a safe and trustworthy environment for your furever friends.
“Alyssa was patient, kind, gentle, and loving towards my cat Ghost as if she knew her for ages. Ghost warmed up to her quickly and made my vacation even more relaxing knowing Ghost was well-taken care of. Alyssa went truly above and beyond and even did some light chores around the apartment without me requesting it, which made coming home more delightful. I truly appreciate everything Alyssa did to make this a smooth process. Thank you!”

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.
