“Hi Ronda! Jackson Galaxy says that cats will claim someone or something as their own by rubbing and leaving their scent. As shy as Freyja is, she's claimed you for her own (rubbing against your purse). That's really saying something! And the photo with Oogie hanging out with you on the head of your chair shows you two are buddies. We knew from the start that you are perfect for them and us, and we're thankful we found you. Now you might be wondering how they were when we came home. They woke up when they heard us and suddenly got the zoomies! Oogie had an excellent run on the kitty wheel, jumping off only to run away from Freyja! They played and grappled with each other and rubbing against us and more ruining on the wheel and more chasing. They don't even do that with catnip. Anyway, we had a great time and piece of mind that the ladies were in excellent hands. If this review is long and scattered, I'm JUST waking up (11:30 I think). Big hugs and big thank you! 😁🤗 Laurie PS Please tell your hubby he's more than welcome for the pizza. I'm so happy he enjoyed it. We'll try to have pizza before our trips from now on.”
“Tori is the best. She kept us up dates on are babys wile we went on vacation. She spoils them. Even tho my one of my pups really doesn't like anyone but me and my other half. He now lets Tori pet and love on him. It's so comforting knowing our fur babys are in good hands with Tori.”
“Cheryl was an excellent dog sitter for us! It was out first time having her take care of our fur baby, Lola. Cheryl had a good connection with Lola right away during the meet and greet and also communicated well with us then in helping us get to know her a bit and about the logistics of the care. During the 4 day pet sitting gig with a few drop in visits each day, she did an excellent job keeping us in the loop during each visit about how Lola seemed or what she did. That and the fact that she added pictures each visit helped me feel Lola was getting well cared for. Some of the pics were adorable, I might add :). Oh yeah, and she generously even left us some human treats on her last visit! I will definitely reach out to Cheryl again for future fur baby care needs!”
About: I have been a pet sitter for 6 years and love what I do! I have taken care of a wide age range and enjoy each job just the same. Safety and respect is my priority, and I am comfortable administering medications. I am currently attending nursing school and am looking for some pet work related activities to fit into my day! I have a fair bit of free time and would love to spend it doing something I love, caring for animals! I am extremely comfortable around all animals, especially dogs. I will follow house instructions perfectly and use critical thinking skills when needed it situations. I am extremely respectful of your space, and will do my absolute best when caring for your pet!
“Dallas did a great job of taking care of my 2 cats while I was. She is very responsible and definitely a cat person. My Romeo took to her immediately. I highly the and will book her again.”
About: Interacting with dogs has always been my happy place. When I moved away from my childhood home and my dogs stayed there, I got into pet care so I could spend more time around fur babies. I do have a dog of my own now but I still enjoy providing pet care and spending time with all the pups! I currently work from home and have a flexible work schedule. I pickup care requests pretty regularly and can easily adjust my care times around work. I care for each pet by being thorough with each pet parent about any preferences and specifications you might have for your buddy. I enjoy this job and try my best to be someone owners can trust and someone dogs look forward to seeing!
About: Born and raised in Northern VA. I have been, and continue to be, an animal lover for my entire life. I have been in veterinary medicine for almost 20 years. I went to the University of Rhode Island to get my B.S. is Animal Science with a focus in Veterinary Medicine. I am perfectly comfortable taking care of healthy and sick dogs, so please don’t be shy if your pet is taking medications or getting treatments of any sort because I can most definitely help with that! My knowledge doesn’t just apply to dogs either. I can take care of exotics, pocket pets, farm animals, birds, cats, and your plants! Humans create fascinating bonds with different animals and I hope to create lasting friendships with yours. I am currently a mixed vegetable farmer growing for the community in Boring OR. We are relatively new to this area and I am looking to establish a network here. I care for all the pets the same as my own, with respect. There is not much more to it except needing to complete the minimum wording for this box :)
“Lynden was wonderful to work with -- very caring and compassionate -- and it was such a relief knowing she was making daily visits while we were gone.”
About: I treat every pet like my own — with love, patience, and personalized care. Trained in pet first aid and experienced with all breeds and temperaments. Pet care is a natural part of my day — I schedule walks, feedings, and playtime around my routine to give each pet consistent attention and care. I have a fenced in big backyard, and I have two small dogs at home, I feed, wash, bathe, and clean up after my dogs.

“Emily was wonderful. She got my shy little guy to love up on her and my little girl to eat all her food (no easy task). I will use Emily the next time I go out of town.”
“Alyson was so great with our anxious dog, Cooper. I loved seeing the daily updates. Cooper usually takes a while to warm up to new people but he loved his time with Alyson. Highly recommend her and will be happy to work with her again in the future.”
“Sarah is the best pet sitter I have ever had. Just from a one time drop in visit I found Sarah to be responsive, dependable and most importantly wonderful with animals. The photos she took of my dog playing warmed my heart. She went beyond what was asked of her. I will confidently rebook Sarah!”
“Kena did a great job & was very conscientious in her car of Murphy. She asked questions when needed to know something, which I really appreciated. I will definitely use her when booking another reservation!”
“Lilieana was so kind and gracious in the booking process. She also lives nearby so made everything pretty easy. The pups looked pleased on the pictures and are happy that we are home . Frankie sniffed around for a little while wondering if she was going to come back. Definitely a great sitter pick.”

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Boring stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.

- 96% of sitters can help with special care needs

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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
