“Ciera took excellent care of Falkor. She sent pictures to let us know how he was doing during the week we were out of town. We would definitely book with her again when we are away.”
“Taylor is incredible! She goes above and beyond every time to make sure my baby is well cared for and I am kept up to date with all of their adventures. You really couldn’t ask for a better sitter.”
“This was my first booking with Kye and Rover, 4 days with my 2 senior cats. Everything went smoothly and I appreciated the daily updates. The cats were shy, checked her out then hid, not unusal for them. They ate and used the litter box normally. Kye is easy to work with. I've already made my next booking with Kye, 15 days in June.”
“Kathy is always my go-to when I travel. She takes great care of my kitty and always provides updates. I never have to worry as I know Ralphie is always in the best hands. Thanks again for being the best!”
About: I've had doggies since I was 8, and I've helped take care of other people's pups since I was 12. I've had lots of experience with the elderly and disabled pups as well. I have had training experience, but am not quite experienced enough to call myself a trainer. If there is training you would like to continue working on with your pups, I will do my absolute best to help in any way I can. Ps. I have a beautiful 10-year-old husky and pointer mix named Skye, she is who you see in the photo! I am a college student with a part-time remote job, so my schedule is very open. I would love a job that would help me get outside more often and spend some time with animals! I am a huge animal lover; Fur babies truly make the world go around! While right now I can't take your fur babies into my home. I have a lot of experience in pet sitting for fur babies in other people's homes, and I will respect any boundaries you set. I completely understand that having a safe person with your animals and in your home is the top priority, and I will do everything I can to make you and your animals feel safe, whether just for walks or longer-term sitting stays.
“I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dogs! She was an angel. I have big dogs that tend to bark quite a lot and she immediately was able to calm them down and bond with them. Sent numerous photos throughout the entire time we were away and gave plenty of updates. I would not go to anybody else!!”
“Rena is wonderful as always! She gave us detailed updates, lots of pictures, and took great care of our pets. A+++ sitter! We have used her twice and will always try to in the future!”

About: I grew up around large dogs and one extra sweet Pomeranian and I can handle dogs of any size and class I have experience wrangling anxious German shepherds during fireworks and thunder storms. I also have experience working with senior dogs, including grooming and administering medications in different forms. I’m a dog person without a dog but I would love to help you and your four-legged friend(s) have a great, stress-free life. I work full-time but my job is hybrid so I do have some flexibility around lunchtime. Late afternoon, nights, and weekends are also fully available! With me, your dog won’t be in an open space without a leash, gates and doors will be closed, and potentially hazardous foods and materials will be out of reach. I’ve handled anxious and reactive dogs in the past and know the signs and behaviors of a stressed or otherwise overstimulated dog.

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.

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 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.
